Dock Adapter in iPod Classic Box--What Is It Good For + non-video iPod Doc?

I bought a 160 gig iPod Classic yesterday and it came with a small dock adapter (looks like a snap in type item). What is it for? I looked at the dock for my iPhone & the dock for my non-video 60 gig iPod (can't remember which generation--it's color display & does pictures), but the adapter did not work in either dock. Is it meant for docks like the Bose Sound Dock?
boldSecond question:bold I tried using my iPod dock with the iPod Classic, but it did not work--it felt like it was loose. Does anyone know of a way to get a dock to work with the iPod Classic?
TIA,
Amy

How hard is it to change out the dock adapter inserts?
Easy peasy. Just lift out the old insert and clip in the new one. Takes seconds.

  • Please tell me which Ipod dock adapter is compatible with the Ipod Classic 80GB?  They no longer make this particular Ipod and I need the right dock adapter for my Panasonic SC-HC25 stereo system I recently purchased.

    Look through the compatible list chart and see which 80GB model are you using, either ID 9 or 10. you can order through Apple Online Store.

  • Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic.  What is the fix?

    Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic.  What is the fix?

    If you are using automatic syncing with your old iPod, select that iPod in iTunes and go to its Music tab (next to Summary).  Note how this Music tab is set up.  Maybe you can do a screen shot.
    Now, select the new iPod in iTunes.  Go to its Music tab, like you did for the old iPod.  Set up the new iPod's Music tab exactly like the old iPod, and Apply the change. 
    The music on your new iPod should now match the old iPod.

    The operating system and space reserved for the iPod to carry out its tasks, such as remembering what you have played and how many times you've played it (this information is Synced back to your iTunes Library at each Sync.) There is also a slight discrepancy in the way that storage size is calculated, which accounts for some of that 12GB.

    You cannot.
    You still have 148GB for storing your music, vidoes and Podcasts. That's quite a lot.
    My music library is currently 115.78GB and is a mixture of songs at various Bit Rates. (The higher the Bit Rate, usually, the better the quality.) It has more than 17,000 songs and will play (non-stop) for 58 days.
    If your Library becomes (or already is) larger than this, it is possible to set iTunes to automatically manage the content, by removing (for example) recently played songs (except any specific ones you always want on your iPod) and then to put back onto the iPod songs that haven't been played for a while.
    If you would like any detail on how this is done, let us know.
    In the meantime, enjoy your iPod.
    Create your Library of music and - my advice is - to use Sync to add everything to your iPod. In other words, do not use Manually Manage. In the long run, Sync is easier. You can still fully control what is on the iPod using Sync. Again, if you need help, this is the place to ask. Generally speaking, the more points a user has, the more people feel that have been helped by that user.

  • Please help! I'm unable to access content on my iPod Classic while it is connected to iTunes. The iPod itself shows up and is set to manual management, but I am unable to view or play any of the content on it (music, movies, podcasts etc.).

    I'm unable to access content on my iPod Classic while it is connected to iTunes.
    The iPod itself shows up and is set to manual management, but I am unable to view or play any of the content on it (music, movies, podcasts etc.).
    I can click the tabs Music, Movies etc. but I can't see anywhere to access the files themselves, no music or movies are listed, I only have the option to 'Sync' with the iTunes, which I don't want to do as there is no content on the iTunes!!! 
    I just downloaded the iTunes program.
    Very confused, pleaseee help ...

    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.

  • IPod Classic has files, but won't play anything on iPod or in iTunes

    I have a question about iPod/iTunes file structure.
    I have an 80 gb iPod Classic with about 50 gigs of music and video. I'm not sure what I did, but I can't get the iPod to play, or recognize the data in iTunes. When I plug the iPod in, it registers in Windows with the disc name and all folders (showing 50 GB used space), but in iTunes, it just calls it "iPod" (not the iPod name)and it only shows the Summary page, no others with the only option being to restore the iPod. I get the message "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod 'MY STUFF'. Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings." I don't have the computer with the original music (my dad has it half the country away), so I refuse to restore. All the music and video was purchased through iTunes.
    Also, when the iPod is disconnected from the computer (or connected for that matter), it shows that the iPod has 50 GB's of data, but when I select Music or TV Shows for example, nothing shows up. It almost seems empty
    I'm thinking I deleted a file or two that iPod/iTunes needs to recognize all the files (the iPod Library file maybe??). I have a hidden folder called iPod_Control on the disk. Can anyone tell me what I need to do? Do I need to copy or create a file or folder? Do I need to move files around? Kind of random, I know, but I don't want to lose literally thousands of dollars in paid music and video!
    THANK YOU!!!

    I have the same problem -- my iPod (first-gen nano) says "use iTunes to restore" in several languages, and doesn't do anything. I can see it in disk utililty and in the system profiler USB list. Fine, I think, I'll just load all my music back on after I restore.
    Whoops! Apple forgot that if your iPod doesn't show up in iTunes, you can't restore it any more! Even the kbase is out of date, because it tells you (as the final step) to use iTunes to restore the thing on the page about iTunes not recognizing it.
    If I reformat in Disk Utility, will my iPod be permanently damaged? Because that's looking like the last thing I'll be able to do, now that Apple has dropped standalone updaters...

  • TS3716 iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0.

    iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0. It appears on the desktop and iTunes starts up when the iPod is connected, but it does not appear in a form so that I can manage its contents.

    Mike:
    Just had the very same problem.  iPod Classic shows up on my desktop but not in iTunes (11.0.1).  I tried restarting iPod while connected as suggested elsewhere.  Didn't work.  What did seem to work however was, while the iPod is connected (and on the desktop) restart iTunes.  Once it restarted it was there and synching.  I also, before restart, made sure that auto-synching was set up in iTunes preferences (under devices).
    Try this.  May work for you as well.

  • Can I use my 160gb iPod classic as an external hard drive for my MacBook?

    Can I use my 160gb iPod classic as an external hard drive for my MacBook?

    That link seems to be broken.  It does normally lead to a solution. For the time being go to
    http://www.google.com/search?q=ipod+classic+disk+mode
    Let your mouse hover over the link until you see the option appear on the right to view the cached version Google contains:
    Putting iPod devices with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode
    If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
    If you are having difficulty putting your iPod into Disk Mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center. If you are still unable to put your iPod into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
    If you have an older iPod model, without a Click Wheel
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, then release them. This resets iPod. When you reset iPod, all your music and data files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost.
    When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod should say "Do not disconnect".
    If you have an iPod nano (6th generation)
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode,  verify that it has a charge.
    Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black. This should take about eight seconds.
    When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.

    Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G.  Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch?  Is there a simple solution.  Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

    Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
