Bought a used 160G classic

I picked up a 160G classic from the local pawn shop today. I have started resynching with my music libary with no problems. My question is though how do I rename it? Also the date and time it displays are not correct, how do I fix this? Thanks in advance...

To rename
In iTunes Device pane on the left - click on the iPod name, then change the name to whatever you want.

Hello 1moloom,
I'd recommend restoring the the iPod, as this will remove all content and restore all settings to factory defaults.

Restoring a used Ipod Classic 80gb I bought

Hello,
I bought a used Ipod Classic 80gb after my Ipod 30gb 5th generation was stolen.
In order to use this "new" ipod I had to download a newer Itunes version and do some changes. This Ipod I bought (that's 100% authentic) needs to be restored to a windows formatted version, when I hit RESTORE. It says it has to download something and afterwards it says the connection time expired and that I need to check my network properties. They seem to be working ok!!!!!.....at least the Ipod is being recognized by the computer at last but HOW CAN I RESTORE IT!?!?! WHAT IS HAPPENING!!??!?
PLEASE HELP!!!!

*Hay man That same problem happened to me when I wanted to update to 1.1.2. I kept trying but download doesn't complete. I went to a friend's house with a higher bandwidth and installed the iTunse and it worked fine. Maybe it was just my connection or something else. Try it. It might help. ;)*

Used ipod classic won't download music?

I bought a used ipod classic and whenever i try to download a song i bought on my touch to my classic it won't.

How are you trying to put the song onto the Classic?
You cannot transfer it directly from the Touch to the Classic
You cannot download anything from the iTunes Store directly onto the Classic.
You put songs onto the Classic via the iTunes programme on your computer.

My iPod Classic is not syncing to my Mac. When I plug it in, it tells me the servers do not support it or something along those lines. It is an iPod Classic 8g, and I bought it used for 30. Any help????

Today I bought an iPod Classic 8gb for 30 quid. When I bought it (used) of of a friends, it played music fine, I could listen to it, and it worked ok. So I go home to reset it so I can put my account on it, and sync it with all my music I have (I want to use it when I hit the gym instead of using my iPhone), but when I plugges it in and restored it, it finished the restoration but NOW it wont let me sync all of my stuff on to it, and the iPod is completely black. I restored it to Factory settings, it shouldnt be doing this???? When I plug it in , I get an error that says
"The iPod software update server could not be contacted. The server does not support this version of iTunes."
Makes me pretty ticked off, like honestly how ******* old is this ******* iPod???
Im also running version 10.9 on my MacBook Pro

Perhaps the reason you haven't had any replies is because there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod Classic.
I suggest that you begin by correctly identifying which iPod you have.

Charge it up fully. Toggle the hold switch. Try getting into diagnostics mode again. See Corrupt iPod classic.

I lost my ipod. Bought a used one to replace it. When I plug it into the computer, the computer doesn't even seem to realize it's plugged in. How do I put my existing itunes library onto the new (used) ipod?

How do I clear out a used ipod classic and put my existing itunes library on it? I lost my previous ipod and bought a used one to replace it.

Do one or more of the following
> Restart your computer
> Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iDevice (won't erase everything)
> Go to My Computer (windows xp) or Computer (windows vista & 7) and see if iDevice shows
> Restore the iDevice completely (will erase everything)
> Make sure the iTunes and/or iOS firmware is up-to-date.
The ones I cross over is the ones you don't have to do. This should help

?? re using IPOD Classic as backup for photos while away on vacation

I bought an 80GB IPOD Classic primarily as a backup storage device for photos while away for 3 months. I have copied about 4 g of songs onto it (using my main computer and ITUNES) and now plan to use it to back up photos using my Laptop (which doesn't have ITUNES on it).
I realize that I don't want to use the ITUNES Photo Sync as I will be using it on two computers and it will erase and sync the new photo files so I plan to copy and paste the files in using Windows Explorer. I've done a couple of tests and all seems fine - using Explorer I copy Pictures Folders into the IPOD and I can see the files, open them, delete them, etc - and they're the correct size.
My question is this - I can't seem to "see" the photo files on the IPOD itself - when used as a storage device can you not see the photos? Is there another menu I can't find?
Also - I checked off the "Enable Disk Use" and "Full Resolution" in ITUNES - maybe that's not necessary as I'm not using ITUNES for the photos?
Thanks for any help

*I can't seem to "see" the photo files on the IPOD itself - when used as a storage device can you not see the photos? Is there another menu I can't find?*
You can't "view" anything on your screen that is added to the iPod when using it as a storage device, in the same way that you can't play songs added in that mode either. You can only access those files through Windows Explorer (or Finder on a Mac), you can only view or play anything added through iTunes.

Ipod 160g classic issues.

Hi Please help. I have a Ipod 160g classic. Ive been on the phone today to apple support for over an hour and a half to try and resolve this issue and its still happening. I am trying to transfer music from my windows 7 PC to my Ipod and it keeps freezing after transfering a few diffrent albums tracks. Im having to switch off my PC and start again as it locks the whole PC up. I have the latest software on the Ipod and the latest itunes which I have unintsalled and reinstalled this afternoon and it is still happening. this issue has only seem to have started since downloading the latest version of Itunes. Is anybody else experincing this issue. Thanks

I have audio books and have been informed by Apple Support that in order to keep the audio books in the audio book folder of my iPod and I have to have the iPod set to disk use mode and therefore cannot have iTunes and my iPod sunc. In other words I have to drag and drop new items into my iPod. This is time consuming when I add new songs to iTune.
That's nonsense - use Sync with selected playlists and it works fine, although there are a few issues you certainly don't need to use disk mode or manual management.
With iTunes 8.x you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook.
Having established that the files are of kind Audiobook, they will then only show in the Audiobook section of the iPod plus any playlists they are explicity included in. The files don't show anywhere else in Music, i.e. Coverflow, Albums etc.

I just bought a new Ipod classic and turned the brightness up to 100% but it's still almost too dark to see! Is this defunct or what?

Charge the battery for at least 4 hours, before 1st use.

160G Classic and Alpine iD-X001...No album art!

Just purchased the 160G Classic...everything working fine except for one hiccup...when I connect it to my Alpine deck (iDA-X001) the album art does not show. It worked seamlessly with my 80G 5th Gen. iPod, but I could really use the 160 gigs! Is Apple going to release a firmware upgrade to fix this? Although a minor detail, my OCD is coming out! Help! Don't want to take the Classic back!

I have just installed a Alipne iDA-X001 to work with my iPod 160Gb Classic it works fine other than no album art.
My ipod is a Mac OS X formatted iPod connected with the supplied Alpine USB cable. The iPod has "disk access enabled" I have read a post on ipodlounge that claims this is the solution but not for me.
I am going to do a complete restore and try again in the morning.
p.s the iPhone will not work when connected to the Alipnes USB cable the Alpine reports an error 2

I have bought an used Iphone 5. I dont have the password for the existing login id of the old owner. How do i use the phone and change the log in id?

Unfortunatly the only way that you can get it off is to get the old user to input the password. You may need to contact that old user and see if he can put the old password in. hope this helps.

You will need the previous owner's Apple ID and Password to:
1. Turn off Find My iPhone
2. Erase device
3. Reactivate device
