80g Ipod classic only holds 16g What's wrong ?

I have an 80g ipod classic but when I get about 16g of music in it, it locks up and erases everything.
I tried restoring and updating but nothing works.

Try restarting if that doesn't work then try self diagnosis;
To restart, press and hold the centre button and the menu button that is at the top of the click wheel. Press and hold both of these utill the apple logo appears.
When the iPod has reset it's self try again to get sound.
To run diagnostics
Follow the restart steps, when you get to the screen with the apple logo press and hold the centre button and the track back button at the left of the click wheel. When a black screen with writing appear let go.
The following screen may look a but scary but scroll down to the audio option and go through the tests to see if it recognises head phones and see if it can produce audio. When finished repeat the restart steps to get back to normal iPod functionality

Hi there, I pay for extra iCloud space online. However I cannot seem to find any of my photos or account? As my iPod/iPhone only hold 1000 pictures, where are the previous pictures? And how can I access them?

You cannot use iCloud Storage to suppliment your iPad. They are mainly used to backup iPad.

80G ipod classic, black, having a fit. Keeps turning itself on and off

Hey people.
I made the mistake of letting my 80G ipod classic run down to a completely empty battery. I think it is the first time in the year since I bought it that I have done this! Anyway, it keeps flicking on and off when I plug it into my macbook. The apple logo appears and then it goes, it appears and then it goes. I've left it plugged in for 2 hours now so it's obviously not taking any charge because its not been recognised by my macbook at all. It doesn't show up in itunes and it doesn't show up in finder.
I can't even do the 5 Rs because it won't stay on long enough so I'm not sure what to do! I think it might be dead but I wondered if anyone had any ideas on how to save it.
It's been treated quite well, I have dropped it once and it ended up in the bath once but that was over 7 months ago and it has shown no ill effects at all so I don't see how that could be the problem now.
Anyway, let me know if you think you can help fix it. I kinda need it right now to help me learn Japanese!

Ooh I just tried plugging it into another laptop and it dd the same thing, but when I took it out it said 'conect to power'. That's the first thing it's done other than display the apple logo for a fraction of a second in a while. I'm just going to leave it plugged into my laptop for days and see what happens.

I have looked at multiple websites; they all have the same instructions for putting your IPhone into recovery mode using ITunes.
My computer was not downloading ITunes before, but I recently made it work. I turned my phone off, held the home button, plugged in the phone to the computer with ITunes already up. The little USB cord and ITunes logo showed up. The instructions said that a popup would say that ITunes had 'detected and IPhone in recovery mode', and from there I would be able to reset my phone. However, the popup never happens. I have tried this several times, and it's the same: I see the USB cable and ITunes logo on my phone screen, and in the corner of ITunes, a picture comes up of a phone with a little 'X' next to it. I clicked on the phone, on the X, but nothing works. The popup just never shows. I am unable to reset my IPhone because of it. I have not found any other way for me to reset my phone, since I didn't activate Find My Phone or ICloud.
There is no icloud on an iphone 3, because you need IOS 5.0 or higher, the highest IOS is 4.2.1

All of a sudden my ipod will only hold a charge for an hour

Strange, but if it's under a yr. old, you should still have a warranty on it, and Apple can replace it for you.

512 MB ipod will only hold 487 MB of songs/data

My 512 MB ipod will only hold 487 MB of songs/data, even when everything has been deleted off of it, and it has been restored. is there any way i can get rid of this extra "other" info on my ipod to use all 512 MB for songs? thanks

i think that woul be removing the ipod software and the file structure which allows the ipod to function. ex, i just bought a 300GB hard drive for my pc, when i get properties on this drive it reads as a 279GB hard drive (maybe its the partition table, ntfs stuff etc.)

For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.

Delete the music in your iTunes library, then go to iTunes store, Quick Link, 'Purchased' to redownload again.

Getting my 80G Ipod classic to play on TV,s or video players

I have tried almost everything I can to get my Ipod to play on video players and my TV. I have the setting to TV OUT on. Have all the cables that I need. Yet when I try to play it on any thing else all it does is stay on the TV OUT screen Get sound but no picture. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help?

If you bought the iPod AV Cable (The one for $20), you got the wrong one. That one -the one that connects from the Headset jack to the 3 color cables (RCA)- is not for the iPod Classic, it works only with the iPod with color display, iPod Photo and iPod Video.
I saw one kit earlier today on Wal-Mart with a bigger box and for a much bigger price: $99 Dollars! HEY APPLE! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? You need to be more clear on your packages as to what iPod is compatible that device and/or need to make more devices for the iPod Classic.

My iPod Classic was stolen. What to expect trying to access my "old" iTunes library?

My iPod Classic 160GB was stolen this week. Got it for Xmas last year and had only started using it in the last few months. It was loaded with 150+ GB of music. I got a good deal today on a replacement 160GB Classic (7th gen) from Craigslist. I'm charging it now but I'm wondering what problems I'm going to encounter trying to get my 150+GB of music onto this "new to me" iPod Classic. It would be nice if I could simply sync the library to the iPod but I'm afraid it can't be that simple. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
I logged into Apple earlier trying to get the serial # off my stolen iPod Classic and noticed that I didn't see it registered with my iPhone and my other 2 iPod Nanos. I was 99% sure I had registered it. Is this in anyway a problem? Could it have been re-registered by the person who stole it? Actually, that would be nice because I still have the box with the serial #. But just wondering what registering provides and how my Classic isn't there.
One other thing, can I simply register this "new to me" iPod Classic with Apple?
Thanks!

If the media is in the library then yes it is that simple. Connect the device, load it up with your media. The problem is when you try to connect a full device to a new empty library on a new computer when iTunes will offer to replace the content on the device with that in the local library, i.e. nothing! (For anyone in that position see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device).
You should be able to add your devices at https://supportprofile.apple.com/ though I'm not sure what happens if the second hand iPod was previously registered.

Ipod classic only works when cold.

Does any body have experience with an ipod that only produces sound when cold, ie, coming out of the refigerator. Also, will get sound when holding down the right lower corner? I don't get sound from the ear phone jack or the docking station. I have read extensive threads on another site regarding this.

There are probably some dry solder joints that work when pressure is applied in the right place and the device is cold. As it heats up different components expand at different rates and the circuit fails. I doubt it is amenable to an easy repair.

Ipod Classic only plays one podcast

My Ipod classic will sometimes play only one podcast and stop, not going on to the next one if there is one. When it happens, I need to reset all my setting and then when I play a podcast it goes to the next one if there is one. What is causing this and is what setting changes whether it goes to the next podcast or not?
Thanks.

Okay, but what if you WANT your podcasts to shuffle?
Try selecting the Podcasts in your iTunes library and going to *Get Info/Options* tab. On there, turn off the *Skip When Shuffling* option, make sure it then says No.
However, bear in mind that this will cause the Podcasts to be selected when you are playing music, so if you don't want Podcasts to interrupt your music listening, then you should avoid trying this.

IPod Nano only holds 75 songs

My iPod Nano will only hold 75 songs. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? It also skips songs that I've downloaded from iTunes.

Kind: Protected AAC audio file
Sizes range from 2.8 - 4.4
Bitrate is all 128 kbps
Thanks.
Play one or more in iTunes and you'll get a chance to "authorize".
About the 75 on your nano, do the same File>Get info>Summary on several of them.
Otherwise just restore your nano and that should give you the space back... however if the songs are AIFF or WAV that may be reason for it only holds 75. Those encodings take LOTS of space.

Hi I have an 80G ipod classic, It is a few years old and i have recently updated from a pc to Mac. When i connect my classic to the Mac it tells me that this ipod is synced to another itunes account ! If i restore i will loose all my music. Help!

I have an ipod Classic 80G. It is a few years old and hasnt been used for a while. I have just tried to sync it to my new Mac and it says theat thei ipod is synced with another itunes account!!!
It was orriganally managed through my old pc but as far as i am aware the itunes account is the same. If i sync with my mac it will remove all that is in the Classsic and replace it with current itunes!
How can i get round this ?

Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

Itunes freezes when I connect my 80G Ipod Classic

This has been happening for a while now, and I couldn't figure it out so I just stopped using my Ipod. I can still listen to the music on there, but its getting old and I want to put new stuff on it. But thats when the problem occurs.
I plug in my Ipod using a standard cable to the USB ports. First I get a messagr from windows asking me if I want to scan and fix any errors with the Ipod. This nevver does anything, and it just sits there infinitely so I always hit no. At this point, Itunes is opening. It opens, I can see the main screen, but By now it is already frozen. When I click on it, I verify this. It turns white and doesn't do anything. EVER. FOREVER. (I have also downloaded another program as an alternative to Itunes to see if it will work, but it does the same thing. Freezes.) So I know its not Itunes. The ipod on the other hand shows what it normally shows. That it is connected and to eject before disconnecting etc....As soon as I unplug my ipod, everything unfreezes and I'm looking at my Itunes home.
I read somehwere that Podcasts might be causing this, and it said that I have to delete all Podcasts in order to fix this. I REALLY want to try this, but I can't possibly delete the god forsaken podcasts off without the use of Itunes.
Also, I really really don't want to restore the Ipod, Because theres a **** Ton of music on here that I put from my Old PC that I no longer have anymore. So if anyone knows a solution that doesn't involve doing that, that would be top priority. If I do need to do that, POST AWAY. I'm starting to get desperate anyway...
Thanks in advance, and hopefully someone else has resolved this issue. I am standing by to provide ANY more info that you need from me.
IPod Classic 80GB
Itunes Version 10.6.1.7
Windows 7

I would suggest that when you are adding music to your iPod,
Connect to USB 2.0 port at the back of the PC and dont use any USB hub.
Disconnect all other USB devices
Preferably disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus program
If you do a Disk Diagnostic on your iPod, there would be high numbers on the Realloc and Pending Sectors, which is causing the sync failures and Itunes freeze. The excellent post by tt2 will help you understand your problem.
Have a nice day!
