160gb classic not loading

My Ipod classic 160Gb I bought just a few weeks ago has stopped working already. It wont load, when I reset it it tells me battery empty, when I load it, either on laptop, 12V or power it just makes this reset sound every minute or so but nothing else happens. Can I consider this machine gone or is there still hope?
By the way, it was also very irresponsive playing songs, skipping many, where my previous 80Gb never had that issue.

Just a small update.... got the thing loaded....
But now it got worse.... It is telling me there is no music, and also no free space. I cannot get it seen on my computer (Windows 8 or in Itunes). Itunes just freezes when I plug it in, even internet explorer freezes... Tried it as a readable disk, but also that doesnt work. Anybody has any idea how to get a full reset of the ipod without linking it to a computer?

160gb classic Notes volume capacity?

What is the capacity of the Notes section? I have text files of the Old Testament in alphabet order and when I view from Ruth on down they are all empty. If I put 1_Ruth at the top of the list it has data in the file. Then the lower half of the Psalms on down are empty. All text files are 4kb in the desktop directory but listed as 16kb on the ipod. Entire Notes directory shows 19.5mb on the ipod. On desktop the Old Testament with all books shows 5mb. Each Bible book has separate directory with chapters inside each book. My 160gb ipod has capacity=149gb with audio=38gb photos=465mb other 553mb free=111gb so I am not even half full.
Thanks

Hey there,
Here is what [THIS|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2026?viewlocale=en_US] Apple support document says about notes on your iPod.
"The Notes folder on your iPod can hold very large text files, but iPod can only display up to 1000 files, the first 4 kilobytes (KB) of text, or about 4096 characters will be shown for each note."
Hope this helps.

160gb Classic not recognised by itunes, but comes up as external disc

To add another to the many versions of this problem, my classic will appear as an external drive but will not be recognised by itunes. I've reset the ipod, tested all the cables and ports and tried it on more than one Mac, all to no avail.
I can't restore it via itunes or the Disk Utility and am pretty stuck. I realise help is unlikely, but would like it to be known that there is another person having this kind of problem.
Thanks - BH

I'm having the same problem - very frustrating. Have reset and restarted iMac but no success

My i-Pod Classic 160GB won't load MPEG-4 video files.

My i-Pod Classic 160GB won't load MPEG-4 video files, a message says "file type not supported." I've checked the file types I have been able to watch in i Tunes and these are MPEG-4 video files and these work ok. Any help?...Thanks.

The files didn't actually contain any video! They were corrupted.

160GB Classic - Album Cover not showing on Kenwood DNX-7200

I have just changed from an 80GB video to a 160GB Classic.
I have a Kenwood DNX-7200 Sat Nav stereo in the car and previously a picture of the relevant album was displayed on the screen but it comes up as "Load Error" with the new classic.
Any ideas?

If you have firmware 1.0.9, then it should support the new iPod Classic - it's downloadable from Kenwood's site (support/navigation units) and requires a PC and USB stick IIRC - definitely requires a USB stick to apply but I think either it or the 2.6 navigation firmware required a PC to unpack an EXE self-extracting archive.
You can check your firmware in the setup menus.

Problem with 160GB Classic

So, I just recently installed the new 1.1 update for my 160Gb Classic. Everything worked fine. Then I started to apply some EQ's to songs (which I had not previously done) and iTunes froze up. I managed to end the task and quit iTunes and used the eject storage device icon on the bottom toolbar on my computer to eject my iPod. After saying it was "OK to disconnect", I did and the iPod clicked, shut down and came back on saying I had no music. However, when I plugged it back into iTunes, it showed that all the space my music had previously taken up was now listed as "Other". I don't want to have to re-load all my music. Can anyone help me?
Here are my stats:
Windows
iTunes 7.5
iPod Classic 160GB
HP Computer

The easy way is just to do a restore. In the future, I wouldn't work on my iTunes library files while the iPod is connected. It seems to me that iTunes already uses a HUGE chunk of system resources, and having the iPod connected just uses even more. Then when you start changing ID3 tags ("Get Info"), it can really cause the system to CHUG. If you don't believe me, try just changing one ID3 tag on a 1.5GB movie file. iTunes practically takes over the computer until it's darned good and ready to do something else.
Or, I'd download [Tagger|http://tvtagger.wordpress.com>, which doesn't use nearly as many resources as iTunes, and allows you to edit many more ID3 fields than iTunes does.

Why can't my 160GB Classic turn off when it's in the universal dock?

When I have my brand new 160GB Classic in my about 4 years old Universal Dock, I can't switch it off. When it's not in the dock, I can switch it off just by pressing the lower key the ordinary way.
When I had my about 4 year old 60GB iPod in the dock, I could turn it off when in the dock, but this doesn't work with my new iPod. The screen keeps saying that the battery is loading or loaded, even when the back light is switched off.
How can I completely turn it off when it's in the dock?

Hi Thebestest1v1er,
Based on your description of being able to Safe Boot (holding down the shift key) but not boot normally, it sounds like your startup/restart issue may be related to one of the things that Safe Boot disables. You can find more information about them here:
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
It may also be related to a disk or file system issue (as that is also something checked during Safe Boot). You may find these articles helpful as well:

I had an HP laptop with Itunes on it and kept my library on an external hard drive. I had a 160gb classic Ipod.
My computer died and i am buying a new one (mac is out of budget)
When I get my new computer, obviously I will download Itunes. My Ipod still has all the music on it and the external hard drive is ok.
I don't want to "erase" or lose any information when I sync with a new itunes that is "empty"
What are the steps? After I download Itunes and set the folder location to my external harddrive what is next? Will Itunes recognize my IPOD? Will it load the music/list from my ipd or external into itunes?
Thanks in advance

Lenovo g550 windows xp drivers will not load

Help! I purchased a Lenovo G550 yesterday and am in need of assistance. Unfortuantely it doesn't appear that there is any way to contact Lenovo, the website doesn't show any method of even emailing them without an IBM service tag (which unless you are corporate user you can't get).
I purchased a lenovo g550 yesterday configuration is 3gb ram 160Gb HDD. Upon booting the system I discovered that in fact users only get access to about 100Gb of the harddrive the rest is set up under multiple hidden drives. I the system came with windows 7 home edition. I need windows xp. So through several hours of work I was able to create some unallocated space on the harddrive. I loaded my copy of windows xp professional to this space and since windows automatically selects the drive name it is drive D:
I went to the lenovo website prior to loading xp and manually downloaded every driver from the site (very time consuming, I saw another way via a forum but was not able to locate it on the lenovo website). Immendiately after loading xp and rebooting I loaded the intel chipset driver. Then rebooted. No other drivers will load for any of the other pieces of hardware. All of THEM, everyone crashes with an error message that there is not enough disk space on c: to load. I would guess that there isn't since c: is a 200mb hidden drive created by Lenovo.
Does anyone have a work around for this problem with the lenovo drivers? This has turned into a multi-hour project for something very simple - putting an alternative operating system on the computer. I cannot put xp as the c: drive because of the lenovo hidden partition is named c:. I don't want to delete windows 7, as I expect to move to it in the next year but right now I several thousand dollars worth of software in xp and need to use that software.
I sure would appreciate any assistance :-) Again the issue is the lenovo windows xp drivers, everyone of them excluding the intel chipset driver will not load under windows xp when windows xp is loaded onto the d: partition. they all say they want to load onto the c: parition which is not an option.
thanks in advance for any help and if anyone knows how to get in contact with lenovo would love that also.

Well if you do not want win7 all together, then just delete all the partitions and install your XP. But if your not wanting to mess up this drive to be able to use the win7 later then just buy a cheap HDD to put XP on. --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148452 $10 off and free shipping. but being that you already tried installing XP then you already messed up win7 anyways(if you did not make the restore disks), your better off just deleting and redoing XP.

No picture on tv from 160GB classic

having read all the forums re the problems with the TV OUT function on the new 160GB classic i find that i have no problem with that ....but i can get no picture on tv from connecting using the apple AV cable to the AV input on a new panasonic TV. i can get sound but no picture .bought the apple AV connection kit containing universal dock and AV cable (one red one white one yellow),set ipod to TV out,played imported DVD(works fine on ipod screen) but although sound is clear ,there is no sign of any visuals . could it be that the cable is an older type and is not compatible to carry the video input from the dock to the TV ?? any ideas welcome.

thanks. i got new cables and now have vision. unfortunately the captions will not turn off even though the ipod screen settings read 'off' and the picture resolution is very poor . is this normal when viewing a movie on the big screen (a 32' lcd panasonic) ?

Itunes 7.0.2 will not load

Itunes 7.0.2 will not load on my son's laptop. When look in Task manager ITUNES.exe appears for few seconds, doesn't open though before disappearing from task manager list. No error message. Tried uninstalling and re-installing but no change. Norton Int security 2004 installed and running.
Dell Pentium 4 3.0GHz Windows XP

Yes, exactly the same thing happens when we sart the Quicktime. It appears in Task Manager for a few seconds then disappears without opening.
hmmmm. you're not reporting the classic symptom of what i'm thinking about (a quick flash of an itunes screen when you launch that, and a quick flash of a QuickTime screen when you launch that), but we'd better check for a Qoologic adware infestation on your PC.
the free trial version of ewido has been catching and killing that for most folks:
