All of you who use the 80gb ipod classic and have problems with it freezing and syncing with itunes...well I have joined the club. This is a serious issue with apple and they need to correct it. I have tried everything to no avial.
This is beyond frustrating. I just wasted 70 dollars between a new battery and gas for my ipod 80gb classic. It was having major issues syncing and freezing with itunes. I tried everything possible and noticed that a lot of people have been having the same issues with their ipod classics as well. I must have restored it several times and now it just totally bit the dust. Now I have to shell out 130 dollars to send it in to apple to be rebuilt/fixed. This is nonsense and I just cant believe apple isn't doing anything to address this issue. My ipod was doing great for about nearly 5 years and now this. I even down-graded to itunes 10.7, but by the time I had it set up to try, that's when my ipod totally failed and will not even come on. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Owners of the 80GB iPod classic, I have a few questions
Ok, so I got my 80GB black iPod classic today and have a few questions, one of these I will need you to check something on your classic.
1: Can you get the digital booklets from the albums purchased on the store on your classic?
2: Is it normal for the hard disk to make that noise when it's spooling?
3: I've noticed this, is there a slight delay switching to the "iPod" screen from the screen before it? I need some one to check this.All hard disks make a bit of noise. The Classic uses a memory cache to allow it to stop the hard disk and thus save power. When you switch screens, the delay is due to the hard disk spinning up and/or searching for the next thing to display. In short, it's the price we have to play for 80/160Gb of space.

I have an ipod classic 120gb...
Somehow I have managed to get mutiple duplicates.....
I had a computer crash... and I restore several songs from the cloud, and from my computer backup from an external drive...
and also, from past purchases on itunes...... some songs I had loaded from my own cd collection....and songs had overlapped......
I knew I had duplicates before the crash and never took care of it.... but now of course there are more...
I have taken care of the duplicates in itunes, by deleting them one by one..... I made the mistake of checking boxes then highlighting and doing a mass delete... thinking it would only delete my check boxes.... and loss a lot of music... so had to restore backups again....
so.......
Ipod......... how do I delete duplicates from the ipod, without loosing music from my ipod... I have lost music that is still there I believe on the Ipod that is not on my itunes... but I am not sure...and I can not find a search duplicates in itunes for Ipod.... can anyone help me on this... is there a way to do it, without going through 8 days of music line by line??
Thank youRestore the iPod and reload it from the library... Ah, but there might be media on the device that isn't in the library yes?
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device and a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates from iTunes if you end up needing to do a blanket recovery from the iPod. See this thread for background on DeDuper.

New 80GB iPod Classic Reboot Loop.... With A Twist??
First of all, let me just say that I've searched for hours upon hours trying to find the answer to this questions before making this post, so please bare with me
So, I have the 80GB iPod Classic, and was really happy with it. I had to get it because my 5th Gen iPod was stolen, and found that I really like all the features it has, yadda yadda. So basically, I had zero problems.
Then a few days ago, it started acting funny. It would just stop at the beginning of random songs and stop playing. I couldn't figure out why, so would just skip the song and listen to the next one. This was all fine and dandy until the next time I plugged my iPod into my laptop.
It has started on the coveted reboot loop, showing the Apple logo, starting to start up, but then failing, then starting the cycle over again.
Reading other posts, the way to fix this is to plug the iPod into the computer, put it into disk mode, then reformat.
My problem is that it won't reformat! I have no problem losing the music at this time, I can get it all back on there, but the stupid thing won't actually reformat itself!
When I plug it into the computer it says different things. If I plug it in while it is already in disk mode, it says "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod." If I plug it into the computer while it is still going through the reboot cycle it comes up with the message, "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "MELISSA'S I". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings." Then it shows up in iTunes, but only under the name "iPod" instead of "Melissa's iPod", says n/a for the capacity, but then still has the correct software version (1.0.3) and serial number. I can then click restore, and the computer does its thing, then tells me it has be reformatted and to leave it plugged into the computer, then it will show back up in iTunes once it has restarted. The problem lies in that it never makes it through the restart to become listed in iTunes again until I put it into disk mode again. It seems that everyone else's problem is solved when they put it into disk mode, but that's just not working for me....
I have honestly tried everything. Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, tried another computer, charged it with a wall charger, went through all the iPod properties, turned the iPod service off and on, did resets, went through everything possible in the Apple help, and all I want to do is listen to my music!!!
Any suggestions, or am I resigned to spending hours on the phone with Apple, or sending it back to them?
Thanks for all the help in advance, and happy holidays!
MelissaAlright, so I finally decided to just call Apple and see what was going on. I got talking to someone and explained my problem, about how the iPod wouldn't reformat and such, and he told me that something was wrong with the connections or something inside the iPod. Which in short means my iPod is dead, lol. Since it's only 2 months old though they're going to replace it, so they're sending me a box to ship my iPod back in, then once they recieve my iPod they're just going to send me a brand new one (and yes, a new one, not a refurbished one, I asked) and not even bother trying to just repair my old one, which leads me to believe that he's heard this problem already multiple times....
So basically I should be getting a new iPod in 10 days he said. Now I get to spend my break reimporting all my cd's.... score. This will be my 4th iPod... you'd think I'd have learned by now.. but no... lol. -
I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. What's the fix? None of the recommended fixes work in any of these devices. Reset device, reset network, renew lease, etc. None of them work.
Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. -
I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes account using its own designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email address. How can I delete this and transfer the ipod to the same account as the iphone 4. Thankyou
iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID. So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account. Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)
I have an iPod Touch 2 with iOS 4.2.1. This is the highest version that works on this device. I checked it once and it had to do with iOS 4.3 and above only supporting the higher RAM CPUs on newer devices.
Apple does make it harder than it needs to be. There still remain a number of apps available on iTunes that will work but they are hard to find because you must manually look at each app specs to see if the app supports an iOS below 4.3
App backups are your friend since iTunes has no way to keep older version of apps. -
Hi my and my husbands iphones are no longer syncing to itunes but have in the past. When i try to download the latest version of itunes it won't let me do it until I load and earliers version....help
No problem.
Okay ... Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does that install go through okay? If so, can you connect the phones now? -

This configuration is weird little bit. There is MatchExpression /app1 and MatchExpression /app2 and at the same time two <Location /weblogic> sections. Are you sure you understand what that configuration stands for?
Try something like this ...

Does the latest Ipod Classic use the same charging pins as the earlier versions?
Does the latest Ipod Classic use the same charging pin positons as the earlier versions as I want to use it in my Audi where my 5th gen Nano will play but not charge as the pin configuration for charging changed from that of the earlier models.
If your 5th gen nano doesn't change, then a new iPod Classic will not either.
The "change" was that older iPods used firewire to charge the iPod. But that's 12volts (the same voltage as a car's battery). Then along came charging by USB, which is 5volts. So car manufacturers who were on the ball, introduced electronics to drop the 12v car battery voltage to 5v and put that 5v on the appropriate USB pins. (I would hope, that by now, every car manufacturer has sorted this out, but of course that doesn't help anyone with an older model car.)
The incredibly obvious - to anyone with technical knowledge - was that one day, Apple would stop the 12v charging method on newer models of iPod. But somehow, a lot of manufacturers of devices that charge iPods failed to see this. (It really was incredibly obvious, believe me!)
It wasn't just car manufacturers who were caught out by this, so were Docking Station devices. I know of one make, where the manufacturer recalled the ones still in shops so that they could re-work them to charge using the 5v USB pins.
In my car, made around 2006, I had an external device fitted so that I could plug my iPod into the car stereo through the Dock Connector. But hey, guess what? That device will charge my iPod Classic, but not my iPod Touch.
A long-ish answer, but hopefully it not only answers the question, but tells you why too. -
Trying to restore 80GB iPod Classic back to the factory settings.
I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, and need to restore 80GB iPod Classic back to the factory settings, due to it being corrupt and the device doesn’t show up in iTunes 10 or on my computer. I've done the 5 R's twice and I am still seeing a box pop up on my computer when I connect the device that says:
“Do you want to scan and fix (F)?”
It gives me the following two options:
1. Scan and Fix (recommended)
2. Continue without Scanning,
Option #1 says, “Unable to perform the scan because Windows cannot access the disk.
Option #2 does nothing.
When starting my computer with the device connected a black screen says:
Checking File System on F:
The type of file system is FAT32.
One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.
Windows will now check the disk.
Volume serial number is 3141-****
Windows is verifying files and folders . . .

HELP ME . . . PLEASEI've used option #1 & #2. I've tried the press & hold menu & center buttons numerous times. The device does not show up in iTunes, It does show up in Windows Explorer as "Removable Disk (F), but when I try to open it, a box pops up that says, "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (F).
When the device is connected to my computer via USB Port, the device screen has an Orange Circle with two rotating Arrows in the centern& says, "Connected", Eject Before Disconnecting

80GB iPod Classic looks to have deleted all my songs after iTunes update - please help!!!
I know there have been topics about this in the past, but I haven't found a solution to my particular case in any of them. So I'm sorry that this topic may seem redundant, but I really need help.
I have an 80GB iPod classic I bought 5+ years ago. It has been running fine for months. After I downloaded and installed the new iTunes upgrade however, when I connected the iPod it gave me the message "iTunes cannot read the contents of .... iPod. Please restore etc". I really don't want to have to restore it and lose my music, as it is almost full of music, much of which is hard to find. I don't often back up my library (I know, I know), but I have one from a few months ago I can use if I really have to (it'll be better than starting completely over), but I don't know where that would be saved on my computer. My music isn't saved in another folder so simply restoring and putting the music back into my iPod isn't an option either.
I am running Windows XP home edition if that helps with solutions.
Please help me, I really don't want to have to start my music collection from scratch.I did a mistake
