Connecting ipod classic 160Gb to bose sounddock
the ipod 160Gb is so thin so doesn't sit in a bose sounddock securely, have to wedge something behind it to get proper connectivity......the plastic adapter doesn't hold it upright. Any ideas?
I assume that by "plastic adaptor" you mean the one that came with your iPod 160GB Classic. It doesn't hold the iPod upright, it will be leaning back slightly. You have inserted the "Dock Adaptor" the right way round I hope?
If you have the insert (Dock Adaptor) in the correct way and the iPod is leaning backwards slightly, but no sound comes out (unless youy force the iPod upright) it sounds as thought the connector in the dock is broken.

Is it possible to overcharge an iPod Classic in a Bose SoundDock?
Do I need to be concerned about leaving my iPod Classic 120MB docked in my Bose SoundDock Series II when not in use? Could this practice overcharge the iPod's battery and hence shorten the life?
I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but the iPod will not allow itself to be overcharged - it will "quick-charge" to 80%, trickle charge the remaining 20%, then stop whether plugged into your computer or your Bose SoundDock.

Ipod classic 160GB very slow sync and cannot connect to itunes store windows 7 ansd itunes 10.6.0.40. I have now been trying for 3 weeks to restore my iPod. Really frustrated, any ideas would be welcome.
Cured the problem! Reinstalled an earlier version of itunes from oldapps.com (version 10) now everything works as it should. I would suggest that if you are experiencing these problems that you do the same. I must say that it is a brave business decision on behalf of apple to effectively lock out all windows 7 users from their products and sales channels and I can only wish them luck in this very shortsighted policy.

I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two? I just want to add a feature. Thanks
Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

I've just downloaded itunes 12 onto my pc. When I connect my IPod classic 160gb, it's name shows up briefly before the ipod silhouette at the top left simply greys out and nothing happens.
Please advise.I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!! -
i have recently formated my ipod classic 160gb to nfts and now it only shows in divices an printers, and whenever i connect it to my pc all my apple software stop responding
The Apple launch issues article suggests pulling 3rd-party plug-ins if the problem doesn't happen in Safe Mode.
Here's the article that will walk you through the process -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins -

The newer like above allow yo to directly insert the 5G iPod into the dock. They also have an input to use the headphone jack.

My ipod classic 160GB won't connect to my car
Hi, my IPod classic 160gb will not let my car access tunes & play them. It's not the lead because a friends works fine. and my software says it's up to date can anyone help - I miss my music .
Thank you.HI there,
Snow Leopard is going to be a paid update that you will need to order form the Apple Online Store. Before upgrading, it is always a good idea to have a backup of your information. The article below has more information about backing up.

Can't access iPod classic 160GB in Windows and iTunes
Hello,
after connecting my iPod classic 160GB to computer with Windows Vista I can see it in My Computer but can't access it. In iTunes 10 it not appear and every access via My Computer takes many time. After disconecting iPod is restarting by itself...
But iPod itself is working - a little laggy, but working. One thing changes: about 80GB free space disappear and iPod tells me that only 153KB is free...
I suppose disk failure - how can I access it and repair?Everything that was on your classic should also have been in your library, and that backed up to another drive. If you manually managed the device, and it was the only location holding your media, and it has become corrupted, there really isn't much hope. See Corrupt iPod classic. There may be a slim chance to recover media stored on it via disc mode if is isn't stored elsewhere, but if it won't mount, or has been reformatted, then the moment has probably passed.

Error -50 & -69 When trying to sync music Ipod Classic 160gb
Hi everybody,
I recently installed an x64 version of Windows 7 Ultimate. I have an Ipod Classic 160gb (late 2009), and i am trying to sync it to my itunes library. However, everytime i do so, it will copy across a few songs (a different number everytime, no more than 500 though) my Itunes freezes up (as well as the ipod). After a while, once it "comes back to life" i get either "Itunes cannot copy {Song Name} to {Ipod Name} Ipod. An unknown Error Occurred (-50)." or "Itunes cannot copy {Song Name} to {Ipod Name} Ipod. An unknown Error Occurred (-69)".
Here is what i have tried:
Enable Disc Use - No Luck
Uninstall / Reinstall Itunes + Rebuild of Library - No Luck
Uninstall Itunes, reinstall + Rebuild Library on Previous version (9.2) of Itunes - No Luck
Kill APSDaemon.exe While synching - No Luck
KIll all other Apple Services + Processes - No Luck
Uninstall Antivirus - No Luck
Reformat Ipod - No Luck
Create a Virtual x32 environment of Windows 7, and recreate my library using the latest Itunes - No Luck
Virtualize a Mac environment, and try on there - MAC OSX doesn't allow virtualization on a Windows "Base" (what a piece of ****) - SO, no luck
Media Monkey Transfer - freezes up like a dead body, then just crashes.
Manually transfer - Work sometimes, doesn't work otherimes. Seems to be Random.
I know you are all going to say "oh, the song it get stuck on is corrupt". Well, it isn't. The song plays fine in Itunes if i go to investigate. When i go to my music "source" it is an actuall file, with an actual file size. I can also play it with VLC media player as well.
Sync with my Dad's IMAC - Success. My Dad has 5.5gb of music (more than 500 songs). Although Ipod did get seem to get stuck on a couple of songs, it succesfully sync'ed
Use Sharepod - Success (although, i have 2940 folders, and sharepod will only allow me to transfer one folder at a time) - So, No Luck
I know the Ipod is fine because if i Sync via MAC or Sharepod, it will play music fine.Also, before the installation of the x64, it sync'd fine. It would be silly that an Ipod dies because i change my Windows Installation.
Another thing, while in the act of Synching, the IPOD screen displays "Synchronising", then, it will just go to "Connected". On the MAC it stayed as "Synchronising" the entire time.
Basically, i am at my wits end. I have tried everything i can think of. I now have a very expensive paper weight, which is ******** me to tears.
If anybody has any solutions, or ideas, i would love to hear them.
Thanks,
LachlanYou seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
Have a nice day! -
IPod classic 160GB not detected under Windows Vista
Hi,
I was trying to find something on that problem, but obviously all the problems with iPod and Vista are slightly different.
Here's my story:
Toshiba Portege R400
Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit
iPod Classic 160GB
iTunes 7.6.0.29
USB 2.0
When I try to connect iPod to the computer NOTHING happens. Not that it starts searching for drivers or something like that. NOTHING.
The same iPod works fine with another computer but there's XP. I haven't tried it with different Vista so far.
USB ports are fine cause other devices like mouse or headphones work fine.
What else... I re-installed iTunes 3 times so far, didn't help. I also have the latest updates for Vista (at least Windows Update says that).
I know there are some workarounds to point different folder to look for drivers etc. But I don't even have the opportunity, cause nothing happens.
I've noticed one thing: when the iPod is plugged-in and I turn on the comp then, the iPod display flashes. It doesn't say it's connected but it reacts. And that's all. Later it comes back to normal "not working".
Have anyone encountered similar problem?
Regards
TomekI have the same problem and I have Windows XP on 2 machines with iTunes. I plug the iPod in and it is not detected at all.
I plugged it into my girlfriends laptop (also XP) without iTunes and it is detected and works fine.
I have uninstalled iTunes and that does not help, it's like the iPod Classic 160GB is invisible on my 2 main machines... -
IPod Classic 160GB not recognized by iTunes
I have an iPod Classic 160GB in version 2.0.4 that is not recognized by itunes.
It's about 2 years old and had presented a few problems with sincying in the past, but I hadn't tried to sync it for a while.
I've transfered all the music from my Windows PC to my Mac, and the iPod was Windows formated.
It started presenting a problem to transfer all my music content from iTunes (Mac) to the iPod, but after severel hours, it only transfered a few hundreded. I've tried it several times.
So, I tried to restore it, both in Windows and Mac PCs, but the problem persisted. A hard reset didn't solve it either.
But now I have a bigger problem. The iPod is not recognized by the iTunes anymore, and the program freezes anytime I try to connect ir. As soon as it is disconnected, everything is back to normal. But the Ipod always reboots.
It is recognized in the desktop tough.
Here's what I've already tried unsuccesfully:
1. Hard Reset.
2. Put it in disk mode. Still not recognized.
3. Use Disk Utility. The disk verification says everything is in order. I've erased all content as well as format it in Mas OS Extended (Journaled). Later I've tried to erase it again but now displays a message error saying it cannot unmount the disk.
4. Used differente USB ports.
5. Saw all Apple support solutions. None worked.
6. Researched a whole bunch of forums, including this one. Noticed a lot of people with the same problem, but had difficulty finding one more recent, so I decided to open a new discussion.
I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Ipod Classic 160GB (2.0.4)
Itunes (10.6)
Mac OS Snow Leopard.
Windows XP.It seems to be working now. Amazing!
I would like to thank you both for the help, CaliforniaHighwaysGuy and AncientMumu.
Here's what I did. I wasn't getting folder acces from my Windows XP because it was Macintosh formated.
So I connected it again to the Mac and used an online tutorial to be able to access the hidden files through Terminal. (I'm not sure if it's allowed to post links to tutorials from other sites, but I'll look into the rules and post, if possible).
Had to relaunch FInder a few times as it stopped responding from time to time. Went to iPod_Control > iTunes and erased all the files.
Disconnected the iPod, as it was still not recognized by iTunes (10.6).
Connected it to my Windows, wich has the 10.4 version of iTunes. Restored (Windows format) it and disconnected.
Went back to the Mac, and it was recognized. I Didn't restore it.
I've already transfered one album and it synced just fine. (One of the problems I was having is that the music transfer was really slow).
Already reconnected the iPod and it was once again recognized after a few seconds.
I really appreciate all the help.
I'll try to updated this post in a few days saying if it's still working properly.
