Can't reset new ipod classic

I've just bought a brand new ipod classic 160Gb and managed to get it to sync with iTunes and download all my music. However after I disconnected it from my pc the Apple logo screen appeared. I then tried to reset it by pressing the centre button and menu as I've done many times before with my old ipod classic 80Gb. All this does is get the Apple logo to reappear but it never gets to a point where the start menu appears.
I've used this reference to put the ipod into disk mode http://http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363 and then was able to access the hard disk in Windows and see that there were files on the ipod. I left it attached to the pc until it was fully charged. Afterwards when I managed to exit disk mode the problem hadn't been solved.
Is there anything I could do in disk mode to resolve what is going wrong? The article above doesn't say anything about what you do once you are in disk mode.

Hey basilfaulty,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Looks like the iPod does not start up past the Apple logo. This article explains what you can do after you have tried Disk Mode.
iPod only shows an Apple logo and doesn't start up

Can't register new ipod classic in itunes

Hi, i am brandnew to ipod&itunes and my question is probably really simple but i am royally stuck...when i click on "device" to register my new ipod to itunes the window that opens is not big enough to actually see (or click) the "register now" button that must be there somewhere. There is no bar to slide and the little arrows do not make the window bigger. Also, i can not collapse the libary on the left side to make the window bigger...don't know what to do...any idea anybody??

What resolution is your monitor set at? Try increasing your screen resolution so you can see the whole page: iTunes window does not display all options

You'll need to contact Apple then for help on resetting some of that account information.

Please help!

Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

Yesterday I purchased a new ipod classic to replace one that had worn out. The price was $179. I wonder if I am eligible for the extended warranty for $59. Can't seem to navigate through the apple support option to get answer. Anyone know?

Put in the serial number but was not offered an extended apple care plan. I guess if you purchase a new one because your old one is out of warranty you get a deal for $179 but you don't get a chance for an extended warranty. You don't get a new box or earbuds, just a brand new iPod. Good deal but since my first died under warranty, got a new one for free, second one I smashed the screen and got a new one for (I don't remember) and now the hard drive went and I paid $179 for a new one, I was hoping to get an extended warranty. But I guess not...
Thank you!

I connected my brand new iPod Classic 160 GB to my brand new Sony home entertainment system through the headphone jack (to the audio line in). The volume is ridiculously low. Can somebody help me out here?

Make sure the volume on the iPod is turned up fully, since this will affect what you hear through the stereo.
Make sure Volume Limit is set to full. (From Main Menu, Settings/Volume Limit)
If you purchased your iPod inside the EU (European Union), then the maximum volume from the headphone jack is lower than elsewhere in the world. If this is the case, buy yourself a 30-pin Dock Connector to 3.5mm jack lead, such as the one linked here...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Decrescent-Connector-Stereo-Auxiliary-iPhone/dp/B007NIE5 EE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386012456&sr=8-1&keywords=30+pin+to+3.5mm
That connector will take a higher volume out (than the European Union's output) and that will be louder (and hopefully loud enough) through your stereo.

Can new iPod Classic play movies types iPod 5th Gen cannot?

I have an iPod 5th generation and I have not really tried to put movies on it. My wife just got a new iPod classics and we've been uploading (MP4 H.264 codec) movies on her iPod Classic. When I try to upload it on my iPod 5th Gen I get an error these files cannot be uploaded since the iPod cannot play these file types. I had the same with a *.mov file.
Can the new iPod Classic play more than the iPod 5th Gen? Or is there a way to fix this?

Try right clicking the movie in iTunes and picking the "Convert for iPod" option. Then try syncing the converted copy ("converting" makes a new copy, old version is left alone) to your 5th gen.

How can I get films purchased from the iTunes store to work on my new iPod classic?

I have recently purchased a new iPod classic, everything works accept it will not play films. At first I thought it was a problem with the films I was trying to put on as they were from my computer; but after purchasing some films from iTunes it still keeps saying that they cannot be played on this device. Please help as I have spent money on films I otherwise cannot watch.
Any advice is welcome.

Hey Shelly29,
It sounds like you might be trying to sync HD videos to your iPod classic.
HD videos purchased from the iTunes Store are compatible with iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), Apple TV, and computers. You may need to download your purchased video from iTunes in the Cloud in a lower resolution for your device.
You'll want to check out the following article to resolve the issue, specifically the "Download previously purchased content in a lower resolution" section:
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device

How can I sync my ipod classic 4th gen to new itunes

I updated iTunes and now I can't sync my ipod classic 4th gen.

Start with this article: iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes

Just got a new iPod Classic and can only sync 536 songs of the almost 8,000 that I have stored in the cloud. How can I download all my music to the new iPod Classic?

Does anyone have an idea how to transfer music stored in the cloud to a new iPod classic?

You must download it to your iTunes library first, before syncing the iPod classic.

HT201302 I can not get my ipod classic to transfer photos from my ipod to my pc,,,, lost my hard drive and wat to put these pics on new computer how do i do this

I can not get my ipod classic to transfer photos from my ipod to my pc

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