Can't register IPOD Classic

Everyone, this sounds really easy. I had a nano previously and it was easy. I just plug it in and the screen comes up and it charges and syncs. Well, I lost it and my wife got me an Ipod Classic. I'm doing the same thing, I plug it in, but no screen comes up. I put in a cd and ask the comp to import it using Itunes, to get my screen. It then shows my device.
Now I need to register it. When the register screen comes up in the itunes window, it's so big that I can only read the left half of the screen. You have the scroll lever on the side to go up and down but you don't have one going left and right. I also dragged the screen to the left, and put my cursor on the right edge of the itunes screen until it shows the left right arrow. It can move left, which shortens the page but it can't move any further to the right.
I've hit the enlarge window and nothing. I hit the views, and nothing. I can only read half of the page and can't register my IPOD.
Last thing, I don't see any special code for the IPOD classic, will I need one?

Hi, kiki-just sorted our problem.
Go into Control Panel, Display and settings and increase the size of the pixel settings -worked for me-regards,
John

    how can I reset Ipod classic when error message 439 shows?

    The easiest solution and apparently the only approved solution via Apple (although a pain if you haven't backed up your device) to restore the phone if you can't figure out the passcode. It will erase everything but if you have a fairly recent backup then you will be fine...you may only lose anything that was added after the last backup. You can also try searching the Apple Support pages and forum to see if there is another solution. Ultimately, it's a plus to a certain degree that there is no easy way to change the passcode....if someone "found" it and wanted to try to get in to it....but it's a pain when it's a situation like yours.

  • Windows Vista can't recognize Ipod Classic

    I bought an Ipod of a guy yesterday. It's a classic. I did a lot so bare with me here.
    It doesnt show up in Itunes.
    When I turn off the ipod and turn it back on.
    it says the device driver can't be installed and is unrecognized.
    I'm installing Windows Servce Pack 2 as we speak in hope that an updated driver is in there.
    Someone told me Ipod classics don't work with windows 7 period.
    Someone help me!
    Is the updated driver in a service pack?
    Or what?
    I just want to listen to music!
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes multiple times.
    I don't want to keep doing it because it takes forever.
    Do I have to download a older version of itunes?
    What do I do?!?!?

    Do this 5Rs first and tell me what you see on the iPod Screen, after charging the iPod and  Reset
    To do a Hard Reset
    Charge your Ipod for at least 2 hours
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the Red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

  • Can't access IPod Classic when charging

    Hi All...
    I have 30GB Ipod classic. When I plug it into the computr to charge (USB), I see a flashing red circle with line thru it in the middle fo the screen with message Do Not Disconnect.
    While it is charging I cannot clear this fromthe screen and listen to the stuff on the Ipod. Is there something wrong or is this by (very very very bad) design?
    How can I listen to the Ipod while it is charging?
    I tried to eject the device from systray icon, but when I do that, it stops charging?
    Help please.
    Thanks in advance.

    This is because the iPod is being synced to the computer, which means that it is being updated and the information on it is being changed. While that is happening you cannot do anything with the iPod. Once it has finished syncing, (when the message *iPod sync is complete - OK to disconnect* displays in the top of the iTunes window) you can click on the *Eject iPod* button which you will find in the bottom right hand of the *iTunes summary screen* (not the systray icon) and which will "disconnect it" from iTunes but allow it to continue charging. You can then listen to it while it is still plugged in and charging.

    No, nothing wrong with it or the design. It is syncing as well as charging. If you try to "use" the iPod while it's being updated that would confuse it!
    I tried to eject the device from systray icon, but when I do that, it stops charging?
    That is not the correct (or best) method of disconnecting the iPod. As I stated above, you should use the *Eject iPod* iPod button.
    By the way, there is no such model as a 30GB Classic, perhaps yours is a 5th generation or photo iPod? See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688 for information on identifying your iPod model.

  • Can't restore iPod Classic - Error 1439

    I tried plugging in my iPod one day to put new songs on my iPod, but it was freezing my computer and I had to restart my computer. When I restarted my computer, suddenly my iPod was reading 'Plug to computer to restore'. Which is strange itself, because my iPod was fine prior to me plugging it in to the computer. So that's what I did, but my iTunes was having trouble restoring my iPod, and it wouldn't work. So I decided to try it on my laptop (I have iTunes on it too), but now I'm getting the 'Cannot restore, error 1439'. I've tried unplugging and replugging. I've tried rebooting computer. I've tried it on different computers. I've tried changing the port. I've updated iTunes to iTunes 9. I've tried every resolution that iTunes gave in support. Nothing seems to work.
    Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get it to restore? If not, anyone know another way I can restore my iPod without iTunes use?
    PS. I have a Windows XP

    Here's the Apple Support doc for that error:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1372
    Which at a guess suggests it a communnication issue. I'm pretty sure there will be a new build of iTunes out on Monday which might help if the problems originate with the particular build of iTunes (although it works fine for me). It would be worth trying to check out your device on a friend's computer who is not having problems to try to exclude either the iPod, the cable, or the PC as the most likely source of trouble.
    *iPod Diagnostics*
    You might also want to run some diagnostics on the iPod just to make sure the problems don't originate there. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
    Retracts: 889
    Reallocs: 12
    Pending Sectors: 0
    PowerOn Hours: 2202
    Start/Stops: 894
    Temp: Current 24c
    Temp: Min 10c
    Temp: Max 50c
    Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
    With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
    Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
    *Reallocated Sectors Count*
    Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
    *Pending sector count*
    Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
    Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.

  • Can't restore iPod classic 60GB video.  Cannot Allocate Memory - Disk Utility

    Sorry if this has been asked before but I've been searching the boards and am yet to find a result.
    I have an old iPod classic 60GB (video) which has a dodgy HDD.  It was clicking and in a constant sad face/charging loop.  I've managed to get it display "Please restore iPod" message and it is now being recognised by my macbook.  I've tried to restore it via iTunes but when I try that I get an error message tht says "The iPod could not be restores because it is busy".
    I've tried toformat the iPod using Disk Utility too but i get an error:
    Disk Erase failed with the error:
    POSIX reports: The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory
    The oddest thing is that under disk utility my iPod drive is showing up as a 2TB drive:
    All I'm realy trying to do is restore the iPod so I can try to recover some of the tracks using Disk Drill.  Can anybody help?

    See if you can find a window based PC and try to do a Restore there.

  • Can't reduce iPod Classic's volume

    I have just bought my first iPod (classic model, 80GB) and I'm experiencing a lot of problems for adjusting it's volume. The minimum default volume seems to be set at a really loud level, so I can't reduce it or silence it at any time, it only lets me increase it even more. Does anybody know how can I solve this before my head explodes?

    I have a problem kind of like this. I am able to lower the volume but it seems that after a certain point the volume bar will keep going down but the volume levels off. I can never get it to go completely silent like my previous ipods. So when I'm at work or in the library, it can be loud than I'd like it to be and I can't get it to drop any more.
    My only suggestion is to leave feedback and hope something happens http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html or return it because it sounds like your click wheel may have been faulty.

  • Can't restart ipod classic.

    When I plugged my iPod classic into my Mac this morning to update my newest songs, it said "Battery very low." I suppose that could be, but it would be unusual. I'm pretty religious about keeping my iPods charged.
    It's been charging for a couple of hours now, but still won't restart. I can hear the drive spinning up and down ...the Apple logo flashing on for a few seconds, then goes away.
    I've tried rebooting a couple of times, but I can't tell if it's actually rebooting, or just spinning off and on like it's been doing while it's charging.
    I don't know what to try next.

    Hi b.lindstrom,
    If you are seeing the Red X on your iPod, then try putting your iPod into Disk Mode and then restore it within iTunes. If that does not work, then you will need to setup service on your iPod. The article below will have more information to help you out.

  • Can't run iPod Classic on Panther ???

    I recently purchased an iPod Classic but it won't operate from my system (Which is lame!) ... I was considering updating from Panther to Tiger or Leopard (they seem to be the same price) ... I've read many posts about the new Leopard's bugs etc., also I'm about to start doing some pre production (music) from home using Pro-Tools --- And I read on the digi design site that Leopard is not compatible with their system as of yet ...After reading the post I'm leaning towards not getting Leopard until Apple works out the kinks - Now Tiger ... on the iPod Classic box it requires Mac OSX 10.4.8 (which I didn't see until I got home) --- It looks like on the apple site that Tiger runs 10.4.6 -- (***??) If I purchase this can I download a Tiger update 10 10.4.8 or higher ? I'm confused and frustrated ---
    If I knew this I would have purchased an iPod Video 5th generation from one of the commercial stores (same size) and it runs on Panther... and it cheaper ...
    PLEASE someone let me know what my best option would be ... beside returning the iPOD CLASSIC ...
    I appreciate any help...and please excuse my frustration...

    The current version of Tiger is 10.4.11 so it should meet your needs.
    Once Tiger is installed on your computer, just do a software update to bring you up to date.

  • Can't get iPod Classic to do anything!

    My iPod classic has always seemed to struggle with connecting to my computer/iTunes but I usually put that down to it being the computers fault. Occasionally my iPod would freeze up and the only way I knew how to fix it was to let it drain it's battery and then once recharged it would again. Just now it frooze again so I let the battery die out, but now when I'm trying to charge it or connect it to the computer, I'm just getting an error saying "www.apple.com/support/ipod" with a picture of a red cross. I tried looking on the help site but can't find anything to help me.
    Can anyone help me? Why is it coming up with an error? Why does it keep freezing up? Why won't my computer or iTunes recognise it?
    (Also the entire back of the iPod is blank so I can't use the serial number to request help from Apple!)

  • Can't upload iPod Classic contents onto a new computer

    The PC that I had paired with my iPod Classic died.  I can't figure out how to upload the iPod's contents onto a new computer.  Is this possible? 
    I also put a new CD on my Mac that won't sync with the iPod Classic.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I think the problem could lie with the sharing of the iTunes account. In itunes on your computer, under "Store", click "Authorize this computer" and login it using your brothers itunes account. Now try syncing the Ipod again and doing a FACTORY RESTORE of it
