6th Gen. iPod Classic has video or not?

I have a 6th Generation iPod Classic and I got it because I thought it has video capability, but when I try to download a video podcast, I get an error message telling me that 30 of the podcasts were "not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPod". The wierd part is that eight of the videos actually downloaded onto my iPod. I know for a fact that there is plenty of space for 2 hours of video on my iPod. What am I doing wrong or is there something I am not aware of?

Some podcasts are encoded so that they are more compatible with newer iOS Devices rather than the older iPod lineup including the iPod Classic.
If possible, try highlighting the podcasts and choosing Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone version in iTunes. Then try syncing the newly converted podcasts over to your iPod.

Can 6th gen Ipod Nano play video on Precor Treadmill?

Many gyms offer Apple connectors on their machines like treadmills and elipticals. I've connected my IPad and watched video, but it's impractical on a treadmill, both due to size and too much vibration.
So, I'm considering the purchase of an Ipod Nano. I know that the 6th gen device lacks video support, but can you load video files onto the device via ITunes and then play the videos on the machines at the gym?
Our gym has two main models of treadmills:
Precor 885, and
Matrix 7XE, which also has Nike+ support for Ipods.
Please let me know which Ipod Nano is best for my needs.

The 5th Generation can do video, or the iPod Touch or iPod Classic. The 6th Generation Nano won't work for your needs.

6th gen ipod nano has white screen and won't go into disc mode

My ipod nano has a white screen - it will play music, and it is recognized by itunes. It won't enter disc mode. I can't seem to find any other helpful steps to follow online other than put it into disc mode and restore it via itunes. When I attempt to put it into disc mode holding power/Vol down together the screen will turn back, but when I then hold down Vol down/Vol up together while the screen is dark it just goes back to white screen. I did plug it into the computer and restore it via itunes, and the screen is still white. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi LizS5,
It sounds as if you have already done much of the troubleshooting suggested in this article, but I would suggest you work through it in order to get your iPod nano back up and running -
iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3474
Specifically -
Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
And if the issue is not resolved -
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
For information on servicing your iPod, go to the iPod Service FAQ
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I have a 6th gen ipod classic that will not turn on...

So,
As the title says that is what I have, however, here are more specifics and what I have done so far...
The ipod will not power on. When I try to turn it on, the logo appears, then it seems to power cycle. Now, onto what I have tried thus far...
I have tried the reset using the menu/center button combos several times and it just does the same thing. I have also tried to plug it into my windows 7 pc, and utilizing Itunes "restore" it. I will quickly back up and state that when I plug it in, Itunes will recognize that it is an Ipod, and display a msg saying that an ipod is plugged in that may be corrupted, please restore it. After I click the "restore" button, itunes will start to extract the s/w to restore it, then an error msg pops up and says "unknown error - 1415" - "unknown error - 1439". Now, I will say that when I plug it in and try to restore it, the first time around it gives me the 1439 code. Subsequently, it will give me the 1415 error if I try to repeat the process. I will unplug it and try again, and the same exact pattern occurs, 1439 on first attempt after plugging into itunes, and then 1415 subsequently. I have read several other forums to no avail possible solutions.
At this point, Im feeling like the only option left is to pay a visit to my local apple store. BUT, before I do that I wanted to see if any experts might have a solution for me here! PLEASE HELP! Im using my shuffle right now, but I really want to get this classic running again! I do have screenshots of all my errors and what itunes shows me in case anyone might want that stuff. In any case, I digress...

Thank you Bilbo! I was trying to find the instructions on how to do this, but was unable to locate them until you pointed me to it!
After running the diag, it shows me error...
[Device Opened]
Error
Menu to continue
From the information Ive read on this occurance, my HD is shot? Is this true or likely? What would be recommended as the next step?

Where should I go to replace the connector port on my 6th gen ipod classic

My head unit on car Pioneer stereo w/usb port intermittently loses my ipod and have to cycle through devices to see it again. sometimes i have to reconnect to usb cord for it to work. I suspect the connector port is damaged. I used to have a cord with push buttons to retain the connection and it was pulled free several times without releasing the retainers. Doh. Where can I repair this reasonably and if I do should I throw in a new battery? It's 3/4 years old.

Google iPod Repair service, hopefully there is one in your Area.

My 7th gen ipod Classic has frozen, I have tried everything- HELP!

I have tried holding menu and select; holding menu and play; leaving overnight for any change; connecting to docking station; connecting to computer. NOTHING is making my screen work- its frozen on the home page and it will not navigate anywhere. please help?

Hello,
Try plugging it into your computer, and see if it will turn on. If not, bring it to the apple store to see if they can help, or help you buy a new one.

Are batteries interchangeable between 5th, 6th, and 7th gen iPod Classics?

I'm currently working on upgrading several 5th, 6th and 7th gen iPod Classics (or Videos in the 5th gen case) and I need to replace the batteries. I'm wondering if the batteries are interchangeable. I see when I look at them that all batteries have the same voltage and the same basic specs (some being lithium-ion and some lithium polymer). One seller on Ebay lists them as interchangeable, although I'm not sure I trust them and I don't get the impression they speak clear English. Also, if anyone wants to give their preference on the two types of battery (Li-Ion or Li-Poly), I'd be happy to hear that too.

The answer is rolling back to 10.10.1 from Time Machine. Doing that solved my problem.

6th gen iPod Nano does not play songs

Today, for no apparent reason, my 6th gen iPod Nano has stopped playing songs. When I select a song, the Play button changes to a Pause button, just as it normally would if the song was playing, but the track does not play, and no time elapses on the song progress bar - it just remains at 0:00. If I fast forward through the song, the song progress bar remains at whatever time I advance it to. I've pressed Play/Pause repeatedly to try and get the songs to play, but nothing happens other than the Play/Pause icon toggling back and forth between playing and paused.
This happens when I try to play any song or podcast on the iPod. It was able to play every song as recently as yesterday. All of these songs and podcasts play just fine on iTunes and on any other iPod, iPhone or iPad that I sync them to.
I have restarted the Nano several times. I've also done a complete restore of the Nano from scratch. I've got the latest version of iTunes, and all of the other functionality works just fine on the Nano.
Any thoughts?

Problem appears to be solved, thanks to the downtown Portland Apple Store Genius Bar. Apparently there was some sort of conflict with the permissions for the music (even though I own all of it, and all of the media played just fine on all of my other iOS devices).
To fix it, I went to the iTunes "Store" menu, chose "Deauthorize this computer" and followed the prompts. I then quit iTunes, restarted iTunes and double-clicked a TV show that I had purchased. This prompted me to re-authorize my computer, which I did.
I then synced a couple of songs, and they played just fine. I restored the rest of my playlists, and I'm happy to say that everything is behaving a-ok now. Phew!

6th Gen iPod won't stay in standby

I have a 6th gen iPod classic that I recently resurrected by installing a new battery. I also restored the firmware via iTunes after replacing the battery. I can pause playback and the backlight times out OK but it "wakes up" about 30 seconds to a minute later. This continues to repeat and drain the battery. I have tried forcing it into standby (holding play/pause) and engaging the hold switch to no avail. It seems that if I keep it docked to one of my speaker units it sits and charges and behaves. What could cause this?
Thanks,
Joe

Hello jfusco,
It sounds like something may have been misseated when you replaced the battery putting extra pressure somewhere on the inside of the iPod causing it to come out of sleep. Double check to make sure everything is as exactly as it should be. Not really much else for suggestions at this point.

I love the 6th Gen. iPod Nano but it has a major deficiency, the power button. I've bought 2 and they both have given me the same issue of the power button becoming slack and not functioning. Why is this so, and how can I fix it??

MAJOR DEFICIENCY = WASTED MONEY:

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

TS1363 I have a 5th Gen Ipod Classic which has just stopped being seen by iTunes. I have reloaded itunes and rest my iPod but still nothing. Any advice?

I have 5th gen iPod classic and although it is recognised by my windows vista software within the "computer" tab. iTunes does not see it. I have totally reset my iPod and reloaded the iTunes software on my PC (which actually sorted my issues with mt 32gb touch) but to no avail.
Any assistance would be grately appreciated?

Nothing has changed frlom when it worked on Saturday to it not working on Sunday! The iPod does not appear in iTunes on either my laptop or my PC. The iPod appears to be fully functional, the wheel works and the date/time etc is all correct. However, it is empty of all music and videos. It was almost full (give or take 10 gb)
The display on the iPod says connected! Is there a setting on it which changes it from an iPod to a disc drive? Other than that, I can see what's wrong.
Everything is working perfectly apart from it's deleted all my stuff and the PC only sees it as an external hard drive?
As I said, my touch is fine

6th gen ipod nano not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). tried everything to fix, but still not working... please help

I have a 6th gen ipod nano that is not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). I get an error that it 'could not be identified properly'. I have tried all tips on the apple site to correct the problem, including unistalling and reinstalling itunes twice. Nothing works. Has anyone tried something that worked that is not part of the Apple support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218)? Thank you in advance for any help!

I have spent 3 days messing with my pc and have made no real progress.
Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty. Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase. If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

My 6th gen Ipod nano does not show up in Itunes or in My Computer

I do not think that this is a problem with my computer because I own an older 5th gen nano and have never had problems with it before. Both my computer and Itunes has no problem seeing the older Ipod right now. I have followed the troubleshooting guides and I'm still stumped on why my new Ipod won't appear. I've read several disscussions and haven't found the fix yet. My newer Ipod has been connected to another computer before but I don't know whether it was a Mac or a PC, and I believe that is the problem. I was thinking maybe it would help if I completely reset my Ipod, I don't mind losing any music, but I have no idea how to if I can't connect it to my computer. Please tell me how to reset it to facory settings or if you think that something else will work I'm completely willing to try that too. Thank you.

Thanks for a reply
The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do?
