Classic IPod no longer working
My Classic IPod had been working perfectly with Windows Vista OS and on a dock. I left it unattended for 10 days, recharged it and tried to play music on the dock. All that shows on the screen is the Apple Logo and I am unable to restart or update the IPod. Any ideas?
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the Mac as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your Mac first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Why does my ipod no longer work with my alpine car stereo
my ipod connects directly to my alpine car stereo and up til now it has worked great. i recently synced my ipod to my computer and i think it updated the software on my ipod and now my ipod no longer works with my alpine stereo. what is up? did apple change something that would make my ipod no longer compatible with my car stereo? if so, what do i do? i have about $1000 invested in my car stereo and ipod specifically for car use. this is a serious issue for me! i just want my ipod to work like it did…
i just connected my friends ipod and it works fine. he has version 1.1.1 software on his. i have version 2.3 on mine. since my ipod works fine by itself i’m assuming that the incompatibility between my ipod and my alpine is due to the software update.
here again, what do i do? how can i get an older version of software back on to my ipod?
ipod v.2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.9)what kind of connection do you have? do you use the ipod 30 pin cable that connects directly to the head unit? it so, maybe you could get help on the alpine site, or a similar site?it could just be a bad connection. you may just have to go oldschool and use rca cables and plug those in...

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?
If it's an older iPod, its software is not being updated by Apple. So, I don't see how updating iTunes would make the iPod not work with the car's audio system, since iTunes just updates the song files (not how the iPod operates).
Does the iPod work by itself (play songs), when disconnected from the computer and iTunes? -
my classic iPod no longer appears in iTunes window when connected to iMac. does this mean my device is no longer supported by iTunes? or incompatible with OSX?

My computer with my itunes crashed. I can no longer use that computer. My ipod no longer works so I bought a new one. I would like to download my itunes that I have but I don't know how to get the information onto my new ipod.
Your itunes purchases for music, etc are tied to your itunes account - any computer (up to 5) can be authorized with your iTunes account information. Enter your iTunes account name and password in the iPod - you don't say which version of iOS is on your iPod so more details can't be given until knowing that.

ITunes classic visualizer no longer works in slide-show mode?
I am using iTunes 8.1 (50) and have just noticed that the iTunes classic visualizer no longer works in slide show mode, which means that it just keeps the same colors and patterns without changing automatically, like it used to do. I can press "R" on the keyboard, which loads a new random collection of settings but again it just keeps them without changing. I tried also pressing "D" to go to default settings, but it did not help. Anybody else having this problem? Any ideas for a fix?
Good to know it's not just me. Sure, the old visualizer is anything but a vital feature, but still it's cool to get some variety sometimes so I hope there comes a fix for it.

My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.
Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1) When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2) I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3) So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. -
The "slide to unlock" on my elderly touch ipod no longer works.
The "slide to unlock" touch slider on my elderly touch ipod no longer works. My finger can move it three-quarters of the way then it pops back to the left. With struggle, I can sometimes combine the on screen slider moved as far to the right as I can get it then tap the hardware button on the bottom. I just have to keep trying over and over. An arrow appears at the top of the ipod that, when tapped, leads into the most recent song I was listening to before I turned it off. Just removing the earphones turns it off. Otherwise, I would just leave it on. The ipod works just fine once I get past that slider bar at the start. Help!
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

160gb iPod Classic, Screen No Longer Working
Hello,
So I have a 160gb ipod classic. I dropped it a few weeks ago by accident and now the screen does not work. No backlight, no lightup, no nothing. It will sync up to my PC just fine and if I plug headphones in and navigate to a song by memory it will play. I hoped it was just an issue with the connector coming loose inside the ipod. So i took it all apart since I got it in like 2010 and was out of warrenty. Unfortunatly, to my dismay, the issue was not the connection to the logic board. After doing a little more research I took it apart even more to see if there was a tear in the lcd connecter anywhrere, there wasn't. So I put it all back together and I was still getting the same issue. Great. My next thought was to get a new lcd. I had an ipod classic 80gb in like 2007 with a broken hard drive so I did some research and found they were the exact same lcd. So instead of buying a new lcd, I just took it out of that one and replaced it in the 160gb ipod. It worked!! well... sort of. I still get nothing on the display screen, but now, when I touch the clickwheel, the backlight lights up. Again, I can select songs from memory and it syncs up fine, but I cannot see anything on the screen. So thats a start, isnt it? I'm not sure. I tried to restore it in iTunes but kept getting an "unknown error 1514." Did some reserch on that and wasnt very helpful.
If anyone could help me out anymore that would be great. I am kind of at an end for what else to do. I'm out of ideas and after looking through this forum and others I have not found a real solution. ANY advice would be helpful. Thanks so much!
I am seriously considering ditching hard drive based media players, as the second they get dropped its all over. But I love being able to carry around all 100+ gigs of music and 30+ gigs of movies with me in one small device. if they made a 128 gig flah memory itouch id be all over it...Hi, Meg.
I've contacted Apple as you suggested and they have already taken care of the problem.
Thank you for your help and reply. -
apps I have purchased from apple no longer work because they have been upgraded and will now only work on 4.3........my ipod is 4.2 so how do I resolve this, my ipod is up to date with the updates it can accept
If you didn't keep any compatible copies of them, you can't use them without buying a newer device.

IPod No Longer Works In iHomes H5
Since I updated to the latest version of iTunes, my iPod doesn't work in my iHomes H5. I've tried three H5s, and it doesn't work in any. However, my wife's nano works fine in our H5. Also, I've taken my iPod to two different electronics stores for diagnostics, and both told me my iPod connects just fine. In fact, I tried it in several different speaker systems, and it works just fine--the only product it doesn't work with is the H5. It sounds like something in the update is blocking my iPod from working with the h5. Has anyone else run into this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Just to close this out, I brought my iPod to the Apple store and confirmed that my connection and software seemed to be fine. It looks like the problem was actually with the radio. While my iPod still didn't work in the h5, it worked fine with the new h6 so I upgraded. Anyone else who is having trouble with the h5 might want to consider upgrading.

I have the 5th Gen Ipod. It worked for about three weeks with me connecting it to my computer. It stopped connecting a few days ago. I reset, reinstalled, I even took it to the Apple store and the restored it for me. I completely had my computer system reinstalled. My ipod worked at the Apple store but will not show up anywhere on my system. I try to use the updater and it freezes on my system. I have been all though the apple web site for troubleshooting and nothing has helped. Is there ANYONE that could help me. It would be greatly appreciated.
Put your ipod in disk mode i.e. pressing "select"+"play" keys, plug it with your PC, a window will pop up and request to do a format, click ok, open the ipod updater and hope it will allow you to do the Restore.

Control at ipod no longer works in car
This past Christmas I had an ipod adapter installed in my Hummer-3 (2006)
Everything was working fine.
With the most recent update (1.1.1), I am no longer able to control my ipod THRU THE IPOD.
I brought my car into the dealer that installed the ipod adapter, and they came to the conclusion that the software update to itunes & ipod is where the proboem is.
To fix this - I've tried going back to the older version in both itunes & ipod - but, without success. I get library version conflicts.
Please help Me !!!!!!!Man, I'd really like to help you.
Although I never had, until now, to downgrade, I think the post below b y Sue Marsh, might help you doing it.
I’m still holding up to my 1.0.3, mainly because of my car interface, which I’m almost sure will stop working with 1.1, or 1.1.1 – call it a feeling – such are the messes created with these never-ending, never-working-properly-upgrades
Hope this will be of some help – the thread is long enough, so I cut for you what I think is the most relevant part
Good luck

Re: Classic Firmware 1.1: What's new?
Posted: Jan 29, 2008 12:17 PM in response to: dragon21
The 1.1 upgrade is usually in this folder on a Windows PC; C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates. When you have found the 1.1 upgrade, follow the steps below; 1. Disconnect your iPod and close iTunes2. Remove the files for 1.1 (delete them, move them to another folder, whatever).3. Make sure you have both files for v1.0.3 in their proper location ie in the iPod software updates file (the one mentioned at the beginning of this message).4. Reopen iTunes and select Edit > Preferences. A dialogue screen headed "iTunes" will open. On the tab marked "General", click the box labelled "Check for updates automatically". (The check box should now be clear.) Click OK at the bottom of the screen to close the iTunes dialogue screen.5. Now connect your iPod.6. Click the "Restore" button7. Answer yes when asked if you want to install older firmware8. Let the update do its thingIf you find that you do not have v1.0.3 on your computer (see step 3 above), there is a website (mentioned earlier in this thread) where you can download it;http://rapidshare.com/files/73863240/1.0.3.zip.htmlI hope this helps. If not, post again for more help. Sue"
