Corrupt and Frozen ipod classic

hi,
I have an i pod classic 120 gb its not even a week old and ive got about 11 gb of music on it, no video and no pictures. When i wanted to sync it with my itunes the screan froze on the ipod and now i can't do anything, itunes says that the ipod might be corrupt. Help me, what can i do?

I have tried this and continue to have to reset my ipod every time I connect to USB. The ipod completely freezes and I am left resetting the ipod then itunes recognizes it. Please note that itunes works fine while the ipod is frozen. I have restored the ipod and still have an issue. I have left it connected for longer than 10 hours and it stays frozen...I have 149GB of music on it...any help would be appreciated (reset is terribly annoying)

  • Frozen iPod classic with lock and battery images on the screen

    When I unlocked my iPod classic while listening to music, everything stopped, and i got an image on the screen of the time when this happened (6:30), a lock image below it on the left, and a black horizontal battery on the right. The iPod won't work now, whether locked/unlocked or whether connected/unconnected to my PC/iTunes. What, if anything is the fix?

    Have you tried just a hard reset yet? To do this, first make sure the hold switch is toggled to the off position, then press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • How to delete corrupted files on ipod classic

    Somehow the "index" of files on my Ipod Classic HD got corrupted so none of my music, video, etc files showed up on the Ipod.  The library, and all the files, would display in Itunes so I followed the instructions and copied them over to an external HD.  Then, when I synced the Ipod, about 1/3 of my available HD on the Ipod shows up as yellow in the space available indicator.  Fortunately I had enough capacity to re-sync....just with very little free space on the HD afterward
    My question is:
    Should I reset the Ipod and then copy the library media folder from the external HD back to my PC?....and then sync?  Will that get rid of the corrupted files so I regain the capacity on the Ipod HD?
    Thanks for any help

    Hi arakis,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    In this situation I would restore your iPod back to factory settings and then sync the music back onto it. It shouldn’t matter if the music is located on the computer hard drive or an external hard drive, as long as the iTunes Media Folder is pointed to the correct location to access the music from iTunes. The first article below explains the process of restoring your iPod back to factory settings and the second article shows the location (and how to change the location) of the iTunes Media Folder.

  • Windows 7 and 120GB iPod Classic

    I'm using latest version of iTunes on my Win7 PC and store my music on network drive. At first it worked ok, but at some point I started getting errors while trying to sync my iPod. Errors are: 53, 50, 1303, 69.
    I've tried:
    -moved my music to my primary hard drive
    -reinstalled iTunes and everything related to it. It copies about 10GB of music and throws an error.
    -asked my friend to sync it on his Mac notebook - everything was fine, 80Gb of music or something about that. Then formatted it for win and errors again.
    Plus Windows says it is corrupted and should be checked or something like that. Tried to check, format, repair, used some dick-checking software on it - no result.

    UPDATE: i think i know what caused it: i synced my ipod touch today before i did the classic. The touch (2g, 16gb) synced fine, but when i connected the classic it froze. I had not synced the touch for months so that has to be what caused it. Any ideas what to do? How to format without itunes?

  • I have been having a lot of trouble with the latest itunes update and my ipod classic 80Gb i.e. being unable to sync songs, but now i have no files at all on my ipod, it is completely blank when i view it from my computer. I need help, please, anybody.

    As it says above, i have been having a lot f trouble with my ipod classic and the latest itunes update, i was unable to sync songs or anything to it and have tried every conceivable 'fix' i could find. i have run an itunes diagnostic and the results are posted below. a major problem is that when i try and view my ipod through my computer it displays nothing at all on the ipod, no files or anything, this may be the problem but i have no idea how it has happened or how i could resolve it.
    This ipod holds huge sentimental value and i am loathe to buy a new one! If anybody can help it is greatly appreciated, than kyou in advanced.

    Hello there pipem90,
    Heres an article about that very issue. Check out this article named iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369.
    There is more to the article but start here:
    1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    If you have not already done so, try the steps in the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant which applies to your iPod; this will often solve your issue.
    If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
    Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

    If you haven't removed the previous update from your computer, try this.
    Remove the latest 1.0.2 update from the iTunes/iPod updates folder.
    On a Mac this is found in (name of)user/library/iTunes/iPod software updates.
    Then prevent iTunes from checking the internet for a new update (preferences/general and remove the check mark from "check for updates automatically), then use iTunes to restore in the normal way.
    You should then be asked if you want to use the previous version of the iPod software.

  • I have 2 Apple IDs, 1 associated with all the family devices and the other which has no devices associated with it.  Is there a way to split out the devices between the 2 IDs without losing apps(iPhone) and music (ipod classic)?

    I have 2 Apple IDs.  1 associated with all the family's devices and the other with no devices associated with it.  Is there a way to split out the devices between the 2 IDs without losing Apps (iPhone 4s) or music (iPod classic)?

    i'd be inclined to leave things as they are. Managing app updates over more than one account in the same library or device requires you to sign in and out of each account in turn. You cannot transfer content from one account to another.

  • Corrupted and Unreadable Ipod

    Hi there all,
    I just connected my 20G Ipod W/clickwheel to my laptop and I received this popup:
    The Ipod (insert name) cannot be updated. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
    Can anyone please give me a suggestion as to what I shold do?
    Thanks everyone.

    hmmmmmm.
    it might be possible to get it back working again by running a chkdsk over it:

  • Older iPod Dock and New Ipod Classic....

    I got an ipod classic as a replacement for my 5th gen ipod video... Back in august i got a universal dock to use with it and the dock dosent seem to work with my Ipod classic...Its an older model dock could this be why? What should i do? IT WAS A $50 DOLLAR DOCK not including a remote!

    Came across this in a search...
    I have a universal dock and an 80gb classic. Presumed it would work fine but no sound comes out, even though the volume is max. Tried my old 20gb and it works fine. No problems with the creature speakers. I used the supplied adaptor and tried without but to no avail.

  • Screen frozen ipod classic

    This has happened before, and I just left it for ages for the battery to discharge, and finally it started working again, but isn't there any quicker method? Also is there a way to prevent this from happening?

    You should just Reset (restart) the iPod. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
    This is like rebooting your computer when it crashes.  The iPod is not erased.
    If it happens too frequently, there may be data corruption or a software problem on the iPod's storage.  You may want to do a Restore on the iPod using iTunes.  The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  This does erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  You can then re-sync content from your iTunes library.
