2 day old iPod Classic - iQuiz crashed - also whistle sound.

Only had my iPod Classic 160 for two days. Got it yesterday.
Today, I launched iQuiz for the first time. It asked me one question. Then on the second question it froze, and locked up the whole iPod.
Does this happen to other people? Should I be worried about this behaviour? Just not sure if iPods do crash now and then, or if they normally never crash (or very rarely). Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I've noticed that when moving around between menus, or in cover flow, right after some art loads, the hard drive makes a quick whistley sound. Not sure if this is normal either. Thanks.

I have an iPod Classic 160GB as well. Mine rarely and I can't even remember if at all it has ever crashed. Did you try and run iQuiz again? Did it work properly? If YES then I wouldn't worry about it.
The HD noise that you mention is rather normal. It is a mechanical drive and therefore some sound and a little vibration is expected. The Key is the loudness of the sound. If it is loud and whirling then the HD could be defective.
You know, it is only 2 days old. It is still under warranty. Watch its performance closely for a week or two and then you should be able to either get comfortable with it or not. If NOT then get it exchanged.

  • Is there a bluetooth adaptor for an old iPod classic (160 GB) that also works like a radio remote?

    Is there a bluetooth adapter for an old iPod classic (160 GB) that also works like a radio remote?  I have a bluetooth headset and I want to listen to FM radio on my iPod.
    Or is there a better way than to use an adapter in order to listen to  the radio on an iPod with a bluetooth headset?
    TIA!

    Have you updated your iPod and iTunes sofware?
    most cases, iTunes can play these high quality songs, which is meant for newer mobile devices like  iPhones, iPod Touch, nano and iPad, which the older iPod cant play, but only playable with iPod classic sofware version 2.0.4
    most likely it is an incompatible song format, read this Apple support article.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1334?viewlocale=en_USet
    If  your iPod software is version 1.1.2, then you have to use lower quality format.
    Can you select the problematic song, and Advance -> create iPod version

  • I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both

    I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both without loosing my music, if I plug my ipod into PC it won't read it

    You need to transfer the music from your iPod on to your iTunes library on your PC, since that is where you are currently syncing and where you are signed into iTunes Match.  It doesn't matter that you were previously syncing it with a Mac, and you won't need to reinstall iTunes on your PC.  But you will have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer any music not purchased from the iTunes store from your iPod to your iTunes library.  Here's another guide on this, which is shoter and you may find easier to follow: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive.  Also, if you're using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar.  This will make it easier to follow along with these guides.

  • I have an old iPod Classic that still works fine but it is having difficulty establishing a connection to my computer.  It will make an incomplete connection but it takes a long time and the computer hangs up until the connection is made. iTunes can't see

    I have an old iPod Classic.  It still plays the music on it out of either port.  It is having trouble connecting to my Windows 7 (64bit) computer.   It takes about 30 seconds or more to connect and hangs the computer until it does.  Even though it shows up in connected USB devices and in Windows explorer it doesn't seem right.  Sometimes it does not make a connection and when it does make a connection iTunes cannot detect it, even though iTunes sometimes automatically launches when I plug in the iPod.  I've tried two different sets of cables with the same results.

    It wont fix your problem, but may tell help troubleshoot, why it is freezing iTunes, especially when the Pending and Realloc numbers are high.

  • Ipod Classic 160GB crashes and reboots during Video playback :S

    I recently brought a film on itunes and have watched it on my computer and it works fine, i have also tested its playback on 4 other video ipods but when i try to watch it on my ipod classic it crashes and reboots after about 20 minutes, however i can click the select button and get past the crashing point and the film plays fine. Can anybody help? i also have 4 other films on there that work fine its just this certain point on the movie.
    My ipod is an ipod classic 160GB bought on the 14th January 2011

    just wondering if you were using Vista ( Nvidia drivers) with SATA drives. I have the same problem as you and i thought it was a problem with my ipod touch. My friend has an ipod touch as well and i tried to copy the file to his ipod and the same problem occurred. played for about 10 minutes and crashed both ipods, sometimes back to menu other times reboots to apple symbol.
    I Copied the same file to my ipod classic and there were no problems. played perfectly on my other ipod. I tried 3 other files and same thing happened everytime. I cant get any video files to play without rebooting the ipod touch.
    I then copied the same files to my laptop with an IDE hard drive running XP and it works perfectly.
    Dont know why or how i can fix the problem but i now only transfer video files on my laptop instead of my brand new super fast Vista PC. could be the PC is trying to transfer files too quickly and they become corrupted somehow. Its very annoying but the workaround works until a solution is found.
    hope this helps

  • I found an old iPod classic of mine.  It's not synced to my new MacBook Pro.  How can I get the music and photos off of it and on to my new computer?  When I plug it in to my new computer it wants to erase what is on it and transfer from my new computer.

    I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone.  I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer.  Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer.  I don't want to do that.  I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes.  Any help?  Thanks!

  • I have an old iPod Classic with 80 GB (I think) of space. I saved all my songs in an external hard drive, but the iTunes library resided in an old computer (no longer working). Can I get the libray from my iPod and use it in my new computer (Windows)?

    My New 4 day old IPod Touch 32 GB just slipped onto my kitchen table and the glass cracked - is it still under any warranty and how much will it cost to repair?

    Accidental damage is not covered under the limited manufacturer's warranty, which is a year from the purchase date.

  • I have an old iPod classic that iTunes cannot find, I can't even restore it!?

    I have an old iPod Classic that iTunes cannot "find" even though it shows it. I can't even restore it. Works fine except can't synch with iTunes to add new music!?

    We (Appple techs) tried disk mode and that didn't work. At times the iPod would even "show" itself in iTunes and iTunes would say it was synching but when you looked at the iPod you could tell it wasn't ( it just said do not disconnect) and after 10 to 40 minutes later iTunes would say can't find iPod. We would then have to force quit iTunes because it was hung up and then just disconnect the iPod. The iPod works fine with headphones or a docking station, just can't add (or subtract) anything to it. It completely mystified all the techs in the store and all "senior" advisors on the phone- and that was about 4.5 hours getting tossed to one "expert" or another! Ah well, indeed stranger than life.
