Can`t synch IPOD classic after 1.0.2 firmware

I just boguht an Ipod 160 GB 2 days ago. Using the firmware 1.0 I could synch anbd load about 1gb of music. The itunes asked me to update the firmware to 1.0.2 and the problems started from here.
After update, the itunes freezes, and ask for not disconnect while the ipod is not synchronizing. If I ask for eject, notthing happens... Tried to delete some repeated songs, and it freezes, just one and it freezes.
in a forum i found a way to downgrading the firmware to 1.0.1 It freezes as well the itunes, of course i think i couldn`t even update the firmware to newer versions...
Any help is appreciated, sinde i`m not in the states

I didn't think the new ipod classics would work with Windows 2000. I quote from the technical specifications:
Windows system requirements
PC with USB 2.0 port
Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
iTunes 7.4 or later
I seems odd that your ipod worked with 1.0.1 then ran into a Windows 2000 issue with 1.0.2 I don't have an answer but it might be worthwhile to ask Apple about this.

Can't synch iPod classic to iTunes after updating iTunes. a duplicate file name was specified.

I can't synch my iPod classic. "A duplicate file name was specified." I tried on two different computers on which it had previously worked fine.

Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from the nominated folder that you have set up to sync photos to the devices.
See iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder for more info.

Can't synch iPod Classic 80Gb

Help, please.
Have been using iPod without problems for 6 months. Library is on external drive (USB). Normally i have the drive plugged in at the back of the laptop and plug in the iPod on the side port. Today i had the drive in the side port while i imported some CD's and then plugged-in the iPod in at the back. I got "Found New Hardware" & "Your new hardware is ready to use" messages but iTunes said that it had detected an iPod in "recovery mode" and i had to restore it before i could synch. After the resore it said that the iPod was restarting and would soon appear in the side menu but it just keeps going back to the "found iPod in recovery mode" message. I been around this circuit many times with teh same result. Have tried ejecting and disconnecting iPod, closing/reopening iTunes, plugging drive in back and Pod on side, restarting computer. All music gone from the Pod and i can't synch, would appreciate any help available.
with thanks,
Kev.

Apple support supplied the following link which fixed the preblem:

Plugging the 'pod into a different USB port caused Windows to assign a new drive letter to it, unfortunately it used a letter already mapped to a network drive. An easy fix.
Thanks, folks........Kev.

TS1425 I cannot eject my ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc. It states some of the files are being used by other applications. What does this mean? How can I get it to eject?

I cannot eject my new ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc due, it states, to open files being used by another application. What does this mean? How can I get my ipod to eject?

If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected. Try ejecting again after the restart.
If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage. When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes. This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk.

How can I reset ipod classic when error message 439 shows?

how can I reset Ipod classic when error message 439 shows?

The easiest solution and apparently the only approved solution via Apple (although a pain if you haven't backed up your device) to restore the phone if you can't figure out the passcode. It will erase everything but if you have a fairly recent backup then you will be fine...you may only lose anything that was added after the last backup. You can also try searching the Apple Support pages and forum to see if there is another solution. Ultimately, it's a plus to a certain degree that there is no easy way to change the passcode....if someone "found" it and wanted to try to get in to it....but it's a pain when it's a situation like yours.

ILOST MY PHOTOS ON IPOD CLASSIC AFTER I START SYNC THEM ON ITUNNES

ILOST MY PHOTOS ON IPOD CLASSIC AFTER I START SYNC THEM ON ITUNNES AND IT GIVES THIS MASAGE
IT SAYS pHOTOS FOLDER SYNCING HAS BEEN DISABLED FOR T IPOD BECAUSE THE FOLDER " XX" CAN NOT BE FOUND
AND AFTER THAT I DID NOT SEE MY PHOTOS ON IPOD

Is the computer that you allowed the iPod to Sync with the same one that you originally synced with, or a different one?
If it is the same computer, then the photos should still be on the computer. So once again, what happened to the photos folder that was on the computer?
If it is a different computer, then I think iTunes has removed the photos, along with the music.
You can only Sync an iPod with one iTunes Library. If you attempt to Sync with a second computer, iTunes will warn you that everything will be removed from the iPod and only content from the second Library will be on the iPod.

HT4235 HELP! I am trying to synch my ipod classic after a few years of non use of itunes. I cannot do so. Diagnostic tests, specifically Device Synch Tests report that "no ipod found". What have I got to do please?

HELP!!!! I am attempting to synch my ipod Classic but have not used itunes for a few years. My ipod refuses to synch & its driving me crazy as I know nothing about computers either. I have run the diagnostics, specifically the Device Synch Tests which report that "no ipod found" although it is showing up clearly in itunes itself. So its recognized and showing me my libraries but is unrecognised when it comes to synching. I gave tried a few tips from previous similar queries (unchecking various boxes) and nothing is working. I am using Windows 7 64. Can anybody assist please??

You could try the DFU restore method in Corrupt iPod classic.
Or visit http://www.apple.com/uk/support/contact/ to explore your support options. Is the device still in warranty?

Windows Vista can't recognize Ipod Classic

I bought an Ipod of a guy yesterday. It's a classic. I did a lot so bare with me here.
It doesnt show up in Itunes.
When I turn off the ipod and turn it back on.
it says the device driver can't be installed and is unrecognized.
I'm installing Windows Servce Pack 2 as we speak in hope that an updated driver is in there.
Someone told me Ipod classics don't work with windows 7 period.
Someone help me!
Is the updated driver in a service pack?
Or what?
I just want to listen to music!
I uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes multiple times.
I don't want to keep doing it because it takes forever.
Do I have to download a older version of itunes?
What do I do?!?!?

Do this 5Rs first and tell me what you see on the iPod Screen, after charging the iPod and Reset
To do a Hard Reset
Charge your Ipod for at least 2 hours
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the Red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

Why my songs wont appear in my ipod classic after dragging them in from my macbook?

I have a very old ipod classic. After i connect it to my macbook (bought in april 2013), it detects. iTunes detects too. I dragged some songs and dropped into my ipod but after that it did not appear in the ipod. Kindly advise.

Hi donniecgr,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are trying to manually manage the content on your iPod. I would suggest reading over the attached article to confirm all of your sync settings and steps are correct.
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
Manually add or remove content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
Select your device.
Click "On this Device."
Then choose "Add to" in the upper right corner.
While viewing the media in your iTunes library, if you drag a song, video, TV show, or Movie a sidebar will appear on the right. You can drag content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.
You must import songs into iTunes before you can add them to your device. You can drag media files onto the iPod or iPad in iTunes to add them to the device without adding them to the iTunes library.
When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
Have a great day,
Joe

Can't restore iPod Classic - Error 1439

I tried plugging in my iPod one day to put new songs on my iPod, but it was freezing my computer and I had to restart my computer. When I restarted my computer, suddenly my iPod was reading 'Plug to computer to restore'. Which is strange itself, because my iPod was fine prior to me plugging it in to the computer. So that's what I did, but my iTunes was having trouble restoring my iPod, and it wouldn't work. So I decided to try it on my laptop (I have iTunes on it too), but now I'm getting the 'Cannot restore, error 1439'. I've tried unplugging and replugging. I've tried rebooting computer. I've tried it on different computers. I've tried changing the port. I've updated iTunes to iTunes 9. I've tried every resolution that iTunes gave in support. Nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get it to restore? If not, anyone know another way I can restore my iPod without iTunes use?
PS. I have a Windows XP

Here's the Apple Support doc for that error:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1372
Which at a guess suggests it a communnication issue. I'm pretty sure there will be a new build of iTunes out on Monday which might help if the problems originate with the particular build of iTunes (although it works fine for me). It would be worth trying to check out your device on a friend's computer who is not having problems to try to exclude either the iPod, the cable, or the PC as the most likely source of trouble.
*iPod Diagnostics*
You might also want to run some diagnostics on the iPod just to make sure the problems don't originate there. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
Retracts: 889
Reallocs: 12
Pending Sectors: 0
PowerOn Hours: 2202
Start/Stops: 894
Temp: Current 24c
Temp: Min 10c
Temp: Max 50c
Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
*Reallocated Sectors Count*
Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
*Pending sector count*
Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.

Can't reduce iPod Classic's volume

I have just bought my first iPod (classic model, 80GB) and I'm experiencing a lot of problems for adjusting it's volume. The minimum default volume seems to be set at a really loud level, so I can't reduce it or silence it at any time, it only lets me increase it even more. Does anybody know how can I solve this before my head explodes?

I have a problem kind of like this. I am able to lower the volume but it seems that after a certain point the volume bar will keep going down but the volume levels off. I can never get it to go completely silent like my previous ipods. So when I'm at work or in the library, it can be loud than I'd like it to be and I can't get it to drop any more.
My only suggestion is to leave feedback and hope something happens http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html or return it because it sounds like your click wheel may have been faulty.

Can't run iPod Classic on Panther ???

I recently purchased an iPod Classic but it won't operate from my system (Which is lame!) ... I was considering updating from Panther to Tiger or Leopard (they seem to be the same price) ... I've read many posts about the new Leopard's bugs etc., also I'm about to start doing some pre production (music) from home using Pro-Tools --- And I read on the digi design site that Leopard is not compatible with their system as of yet ...After reading the post I'm leaning towards not getting Leopard until Apple works out the kinks - Now Tiger ... on the iPod Classic box it requires Mac OSX 10.4.8 (which I didn't see until I got home) --- It looks like on the apple site that Tiger runs 10.4.6 -- (***??) If I purchase this can I download a Tiger update 10 10.4.8 or higher ? I'm confused and frustrated ---
If I knew this I would have purchased an iPod Video 5th generation from one of the commercial stores (same size) and it runs on Panther... and it cheaper ...
PLEASE someone let me know what my best option would be ... beside returning the iPOD CLASSIC ...
I appreciate any help...and please excuse my frustration...

The current version of Tiger is 10.4.11 so it should meet your needs.
Once Tiger is installed on your computer, just do a software update to bring you up to date.
