Creative lab xdoc and iPod classic video problems
I purchased a creative lab xdoc which connects my ipod classic to my home theatre system, everything works except for the video portion, for some reason the ipod classic does not work with it,the question here is if Apple is working on a software upgrade so that we can use the video feature on the classic ipod,it is a shame that people try to be up to date with technology, but instead we get stuck with electronics that do work with later model, only with OLDER MODEL, i don't see the glory on this, do you?
Any help or guidance will certainly be appreciated

Xdoc and iPod Classic video prob
The question here is does anyone know if Creative will do a software upgrade so that the video portion of the ipod can be seen? Can the Xdoc receiver be upgraded via USB cable?, or does iPOD has a sofware upgrade so that the iPOD classic can be used with the Xdoc?.
If upgrade are out of the question why sell a product that is not compatible with the newer version of iPOD? Not fair to those that want to be always up to date with their electronics, makes no sense to go BACKWARDS.

I also have one of the newer DLO Homedocks and a 80GB iPod Classic. I only have music on the iPod, so I don't know if the video out feature is working for me. As for the music features, they all seem to be working fine EXCEPT I am not able to PAUSE songs. The Play/Pause button has no affect once the song has started. Do you have this problem also? Not sure if problem is with iPod or Homedock. I really don't care about the video, as I am using primarily as a music server. BTW, mine also doesn't display album art... a little irritating, but I can live with it.
Thanks

ITunes Match and iPod Classic sync problems
Hi all,
I've recently signed up to iTunes Match and use iTunes on my Windows PC (at home) and MacBook Pro (at work). I also use an iPod Classic which I sync with the Windows PC.
I've had an issue which has happened a few times when I sync. I think the problem occurs when iTunes is open on both the PC and the Mac, but I'm not sure.
When I sync my iPod, it increments play count, and updates the recently played playlist as normal, but every now and then, I am asked to sign back into iTunes Match, and when I do that, all play counts from the ipod sync disappear. The Recently Played playlist also no longer has songs played on the iPod included. However, on the "last played" field, the correct date and time of when the song was played in populated.
The iPod is where I listen to music most often, and I would really like to keep the play counts up to date, but I can't figure out what is happening.
Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas if I can resolve this?
Thanks.The same thing happened to my iPod. It shows that it has no songs, but when i checked the iPod's memory, it was using the same amount of space as before (i had 52 gb of music, now it's just 52 gb of... nothing).

ITunes 11 and iPod Classic Playlists - Problem?
I have an iPod Classic dedicated to use in my car [lives in the glove compartment]. A couple of days ago I decided to completely refresh the content, so plugged it in to my Mac Mini and set to work. First step was a factory reset, then a check for updates [none - it was running the latest OS] and then I loaded up about 156Gb of music data [all Apple Lossless].
Returning this to my car, I have discovered that it now plays music as before, but that it no longer recognises playlists. So for example, in my iTunes client, I have a PlayList folder called "_Compilations" [the underscore, _, brings it to the top of the list], in which I store about 8 or 9 playlists I have dedicated for use in my car. I can no longer access any of those playlists from my in-car stereo.
***Nothing*** has changed in this configuration, except the fact that I have upgraded to iTunes 11. There have been no changes to the configuration or firmware of the Pioneer in-car system, which is an AVIC-920BT
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/GPS-Navigation/AVIC-X920BT
and the factory reset of the iPod did not result in any firmware or other updates. I have re-loaded the iPod with the exact same load-out as I had before, but this makes no difference. I have tried a variety of different things, but for some reason, within the "_Compilations" folder [which the Pioneer can see and let me navigate to] the Pioneer can only see a huge collection of individual songs.
I bought the Pioneer new with the car in May 2011 and it has given me no trouble since then.
I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest if anything has changed, in iTunes 11, with respect to playlist management, or if they can think of any other reason why I would suddenly see this unusual [and wrong] behavior. Oh, for what it's worth, if I remove the iPod from the car and use it with earbuds, all my playlists are present and correct and work perfectly via the wheel controller. This looks very much like some form of config change...
Any feedback or suggestion would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

My IPOD Classic Video 5. Gen. showed videos, but now it does no longer show them, instead i see a black picture on my IPOD and it doesn`t work. I have to restart it every time, i try it. i restore the software with itunes, but the problem still exists.
The Videos are showed up front 4 months, but now they are no longer to be seen. When you star a video first the hard drive starts, but then it stops and hangs up. I have to restart it, starting with the apple logo....Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc. -
I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in". Could you please help?
Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books. -
Hi I Have an Ipod classic.My problem is that the Ipod seems to sync music ok but I have a number of podcasts downloaded to itunes but these don't sync to the ipod,(they have in the past,but no longer). Has anyone any suggestions please ?
hi gary
have you tried to sync your ipod ,when you click on the side where it shows your ipod?
Click on where it shows your ipod name for example garys ipod,when it opens up the summary page click the sync box,bottom right,and see if that helps.
In the summary page click on podcasts,click the box on sync podcast box (top),read before when the box opens and says are you sure you want sync podcasts.,theres a box underneath,which says automatically include ,make sure thats ticked.
hope this may help madforit -
I bought a Zeppelin music player and iPod classic in December 2012, and all went well until I last synched the iPod with iTunes, and now I get a message saying that the iPod doesn't recognise the attached accessory when I try to connect it to the Zeppelin. I did recently update to the latest iTunes version-could this be the problem, and if so how do I cure it? All help appreciated.
It's still charging when you plug it in. That just means it won't play music out the speaker. If that's what you were looking to do, they have speakers for iPods.

Iphone 4 and ipod classic computer autorisation bug
Hi there,
I'm having some problems with both my ipod and iphone.
I use my iphone on my PC and my Mac so 2 machine only it has not been connected anywhere else, however it tells me that I have it authorised on 4 machines and so i have only 1 authorisation left.
My ipod classic is even worst, as it is only ever being connected to my PC and more than once it has asked me to be authorised and i think i have no more authorisations left.
Many times after a major itunes update the PC will ask me to authorise the ipod for this itunes library.
is it possible to reset this authorisations? and why is this happening ayway?
Thanks
MikyI have Windows 8 Pro on my computer purchased from Microsoft for $39.99
I have the latest version of Itunes
I have desktop and the drivers seem to be installed but says "Windows encounted a problem installing the driver software of your device"for both iphone 4 and ipod classic 160gb.
The drivers are there and the actuall Apple products work but diagnostics in itunes don't recognise it. I''ve done Norton One/360 scans and no good. I paid Apple $39 dollars to fix and they said its a microsoft issue along with Symnatec.
I've disable the driver for Ipod and Iphone and reinstalled. It just says error updating the drivers and yesterday ipod worked and then did check for repair drivers and hardware and enabled ipod and iphone. Microsoft had a huge queue for 2 days and Apple don't understand windows 8. Can you help me diesel vdub? or anyone? -
I manage my music manually, as I use different computers to upload music (mostly CDs) to my iPod Classic (video). This means that the music on my iPod Classic is much more than on either of the computers. How can I back up my iPod Classic (without syncing!) to preserve its contents?
Its possible that the LCD display's ribbon cable was not properly attached to the iPod's logic board or was damaged upon replacement. I would take the iPod back to wherever you had it serviced and explain to them what is happening.

How can this be fixed, I noticed also that on I tunes on my PC before purchasing a song I listen to it and now it is only playing like 4 seconds of the song and I have opened up the URL and it still won't work correctly. PLEASE HELPAre these songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes? If there are iTunes purchases, delete them from your main iTunes library and redownload them again at no cost via iCloud.

What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?
What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?
Hello laurie0823,
already have ipod 32 gig and just go ipod touch 8 gig can i use both on same itunes account?
Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced with one iTunes account or library.
if i hook up ipod touch will i lose all of the stuff in library or can i sync library to ipod touch?
No you can sync your content to any number of devices.
Simply, plug new iPod in, configure it to sync with iTunes library however you wish and be on your way.

Protected videos and iPod classic
Hello,
I recently bought a new iPod Classic (7th gen, 160 GB) to replace a stolen 120GB iPod. When I tried to sync all of my movies to the iPod, I got the 'can't be played on this iPod' message. They are all standard definition movies, and they synced just fine with my 120GB classic. When I highlight the video (protected mpeg-4), it does not give me the option to convert to an iPod format. But again, I didn't have to do this step with my 120GB iPod. Any suggestions?
Thanks.If the message says the wall charger is not supported then its telling you that there probably is not sufficient charge to keep your touch going that means unfortunately that you will be best served by purchasing an official charger from apple or finding one through ebay the good news is that the quality of the ebay chargers is very strong but be forewarned that even the best will not work well in electrical systems where you have multiple connections coming from say a surge reducer or its like.

Applie iPod Classic Connection Problems
Hi there, me and my dad just bought 2 new iPod classics... Mines is working without any problems so far (although trying to figure out how to convert videos is ******* me off) but anyway his was working this morning before I left for work and I left it to update and download the newest artwork... Upon arriving home however his is unable to open up in iTunes and Windows Vista simply keeps trying to install drivers for the iPod everytime I connect it and ultimately fails everytime... Anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated
Hey there Joeyleo,
It sounds like you are unable to use any USB accessories with your iPod Classic. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article:
iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant
https://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
Here is step one to get you started, but there is additional troubleshooting within if needed:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip:
If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Hey, guys. about 3 1/2 months ago, my sisters iPod 30GB Video, stopped working, and its dead, which when we get a charge, and we boot up, it hangs on a Apple Logo, and we cant figure out whats wrong, Apple can fix it, but it will cost us, about 179 Dollars. and she doesnt want to spend 179$ on an already purchased iPod, ugh, Apple is losing its magic touch.
-DID (Developer in Distress)
James MaloyIf you do not want spending another $180 for the iPod, then you might as well buy a new Classic since the problem on your sister's video won't fix itself unless you send it to Apple after you do everything that says in the Troubleshooting page.
