Audiobooks not playing on iPod Classic

I downloaded an audiobook from iTunes. It will play on computer thru iTunes Library and will also play on computer when I click on iPod Audiobooks but will not play on my iPod. The info shows on video screen, but no playback.

It's a long time since I've experienced 1 of 0 on my iPod Classic and I can no longer remember what causes that.
However, 1 of 1 usually means that you are playing the iPod in shuffle mode and that all the songs in the Playlist are set to Skip when shuffling. In this situation, as a song is playing, every other song is set to be skipped, therefore there is nothing else to play - so 1 of 1. So if you are using shuffle mode, check the songs (in your iTunes Library) for Skip when shuffling. To do this, highlight a song and select File/Get Info/Options>Skip when shuffling> - no tick in the box.
If you need to change those settings, you need to Sync the Pod to iTunes afterwards for the changes to be on the iPod as well.

How can I play my ipod classic 30G thru my older home stereo? Radio Shack guy sold me a head phone adapter to use in the head phone socket on the stereo with the other end attaching to the ipod. It doesn't do anything. Are there settings I need to make on

How can I play my ipod classic 30 G thru my home stereo system? The guy at Radio Shack sold me an adapter for the older, larger headphone adapter on my stereo receiver with an ipod attachment on the other end. It doesn't work. Do I need to make special settings on the ipod? Should it work? I read elsewhere that I need a Y connector. Thanks for any help.

The headphone jak on your stereo is an output, not an input. You cannot route music into your stereo throughthe headphone jack.
You can get a cable that connect from the headphone output of the ipod to the stereo inputs on your stereo:

Playing my iPod Classic thru my iMac

Forgive me if this sounds like a "How To Boil Water" kind of question...but how do you play an iPod Classic thru an iMac, or is that not possible?
I've got the iPod connected, but what do I do next in order to play it thru my iMac's speakers?
Thanks!

Hello Scott Ross,
In order to play the iPod through your iMac's speakers you will need to play it through iTunes. And in order to play it through iTunes, you need to have the *Manually manage music and videos* option enabled from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. Otherwise, there is no other way.
Keep in mind if you currently have your iPod set to automatically sync that manually managing your iPod's contents if much different. Here is more information if you are interested.

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

What happens when the iPod is plugged in? anything? any errors?
Why is 50GB of music gone? All music should exist on the computer. Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

Purchased songs from Itunes STILL not playing on ipod mini

I read all the posts about this issue, of purchased Itunes songs not playing on ipod. I deauthorized the computer and all computers associated with the account. then re authorized them. I reset the ipod several times, and also restored the ipod. I reinstalled the itunes software. I changed the sync to manual. removed one of the purchased songs. reauthorized the computer, then manually added the song back. I renamed the song. I even tried with downloading the free song. Any other suggestions. It made me look bad when after all of this I still could not fix the users issue. Other than declaring it a HARDWARE issue, I thought there could be a registry setting with the authorizing that did not happen properly. Has anyone else experienced this issue , and NOT been able to fix it. It would really appreciate any advice. My only conclusion was hardware, and the user states they had already spoke with apple who declined to help.

It may be an authorization issue. Both iTunes and the iPod need to be up-to-date.
Usually, you need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS within iTunes to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.4), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
If the above 'standard' fixes did not help, then it's a bigger problem that I can diagnose...

You need a third-party program like the paid PhoneView or TouchCopy. The free iFunBox may work.
BTW this is the iPod touch forum.

Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple solution. Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

How to advance a song that is playing on Ipod classic?

Please let me know how to advance a song that is playing on IPod classic?

I can not get my IPOD classic to be recognized on my laptop

I have a new dell laptop and can not connect my IPOD classic to my iTunes library...the computer indicates that it does not recognize the IPOD at all...very frustrate...

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Also, I think the 5th gen has different tech specs than the nano, so while the nano may work on a lower powered USB port, the ipod 5th gen may not.
I would pay special attention to the following specs:
PC with USB port or card (USB 2.0 recommended)
Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 or later, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
To view your USB's, right click on "My Computer" (either the icon on your desktop or under your windows start bar) then left click on "Manage." In the window that comes up open your device manager. In your device manager, look at you Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
What you are looking for: USB2, USB2.0, high-speed, enhanced, high-powered. If you see one of these you should be able to use your 5th gen on it just fine. Try switching USB ports to see which one is your 2.0. If you have a USB port on the front of your computer these are often not 2.0, and you want to try using one on the back of the tower.
