Everything about the IPOD Classic 160 GB Battery
Dear All,
Just want to know how the battery is connected and placed inside the ipod classic 160GB model, can it be replaced by a user without using a soldering iron.Is it attached with a adhesive ?
Kindly discuss.
Thanks
With the new ipods, the issue isn't the battery connection so much as it is the shell itself. It is now extremely difficult to open the ipod, as they have metal catches around the inside of the case. From what I have read, the battery and HD are still user changable, IF you can get in without damaging the outer shell, which is much easier to do with the new design. This is also why most of the online battery replacement companies are still not showing as being able to change out the HD/battery on the classics.

I'm user of iTunes for years and in possession of 2 iPod classics.
For both iPods I have a specific playlist created, which I sync with iTunes. Each of my nearly 50,000 tracks in iTunes comes with the right Album-art (all 500 x 500 pixels and 72 dpi) andeach track contains also the necessary meta data and is converted to 160 or 192 kbps M4a. In Finder on my MacBook I can see that the M4a files all contain album-art, because the file icons show the album art for each file name! Also in the grid overview of iTunes you can see them all, no exception.
For years that went well. Now, a week ago, I made a new playlist (16,000 tracks) for one of my iPod classics because I wanted a different content! The old playlist I discarded and synchronized the new one. Now it appears that a large number of album-art on the iPod is not shown, nor in cover-flow nor during play-back. I then tried to get my new playlist updated by exported as XML and then imported into iTunes again. In that case all tracks from the list are checked for completeness against the library and after import it should be fine. Unfortunately, it is not the case. Still the album-art is not shown for all tracks/albums on the iPod.
I run iTunes (11.2.2 (3)) on a MacBook Pro at the end of 2009, with the latest OSX version (10.9.3) and with enough disk space and memory.
My iTunes library is on a NAS (Synodisk DS209J II plus) the iPods run on the latest sw version (1.1.2) and are both Apple formatted.
I wonder if this is an iPod error or something wrong with the library. I hope you will understand, that I do not want to lose all the metadata of the 50,000 tracks by rebuilding the library, especially things like: date added, number of times played, rating, comments!
I hope someone can provide me an acceptable solution.
With regards, Sign-XI'm a bit confused, but I assume you want to shuffle your playlist while you are playing it in iTunes. If this is so, you will actually have to start playing a song before the shuffle button appears, and it appears in the top center panel of your iTunes window. Yeah, I know...

IPod Classic 160 GB doesn't work for audiobooks in BMW X3 F25
Hello
I have been owning a 160 GB iPod classic for a while now. I have newly acquired a BMW X3 (2012 Model, F25). The problem is that when listening to audiobooks, the iPod doubles or triples the speed (and pitch) when I return to the car after having parked. So it runs fine at first, then I stop and park the car and return and then it sounds like Donald Duck is reading to me ;-)
The car comes with the USB interface to which once can connect media players like the iPod. I am using the original BMW "Y-shape" cable that has once connection on the iPod that then splits into an USB and a 3.5mm jack. I also tried cables from Belkin and the cable that came with the iPod, but all to no avail.
It is not the Audiobook faster/slower function of the ipod that is activated because that would not change pitch, it's like "the record is turning too fast", you can see the seconds in the car's display movig much faster than at a second's pace. The iPod subsequently retains this increased speed even if not connected to the car anymore and can only be slowed down again by resetting it.
I onw an older iPod photo 80 GB which does not exhibit this behavior.
The iPod classic 160 is at the latest software level and so is the car.
Any ideas?

Redchair software's Anapod corrupts ipod classic 160 on PC?
Hello. Does anyone use Redchairsoftware's Anapod Explorer on their PC? I find that I can use it to add songs to the ipod classic 160, but once I disconnect, no songs are found on the ipod. And then when I connect to itunes, it says a restore is necessary, leaving me with an empty ipod. I was hoping someone out there might have gone through the same thing. Thank you for your time.
Welcome to the discussions, disintegration79.
It's been reported that iTunes alternative applications will not work with the new iPods due to some changes being made to how files are stored.
http://www.tuaw.com/2007/09/15/6th-gen-ipods-wont-work-with-linux-winamp/
There's currently no information on their website, but this statement from their front page
+"Anapod supports all iPod models available in the market."+
is most certainly false.

In ITunes,
my library was about 55 G. I have a Ipod Classic 160 G. I synchronised my IPod
on ITunes and I checked the tag Convert
songs with a throughput greater than 128 kbit / s ACC before
synchronisation I took maybe 6 hours to synchronise, and afterward my library was
about 42 G. All my tunes, more than 9500, seem still be in library. Most of my
library is from music purchased in ITunes store along with copies on my old CDs
an some MP3 files from other discs. This is good for me but what happened?This is good for me but what happened?
I don't understand the question... Did something happen that you think should not have happened?
It took such a long time to sync, because iTunes was converting songs with bit-rate higher than 128 kbps "on the fly" while syncing. That takes much longer than just syncing the songs.
Also, since you have so much space on your iPod (compared to the size of your music library), you should not use that "convert to 128 kbps AAC" setting. For songs that are encoded higher than 128 kbps, the conversion reduces sound quality. You may want to uncheck Sync Music and Apply, to remove the songs on the iPod currently, and then sync it all again without the "convert" setting checked this time. -
So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn’t find any files on the iPod anymore. However when you look in the settings it displays that ~roughly 90 GB free space is available. Seen the fact that I had about 60 gigs of music this doesn’t seem like a coincidence and I think my music is still somewhere on the ipod but the HDD isn’t recognizing it anymore.
I’ve tried resetting it, and resetting it to factory settings, which didn’t work. When connected to a desktop it won’t be recognized by iTunes, it displays an error message that the iPod cannot be read and that I have to reset it to factory settings.
I’ve spent some time researching this problem yesterday and I ran into a myriad of vaguely similar problems didn’t really offer any help. Currently I’m thinking that formatting the iPod might work, and restoring the software afterwards. However this is a rather bold strategy so I’d like to consult you here first.
Thanks in advance!Hi turingtest2,
Thank you for the info, with formatting my iPod I managed to connect it to iTunes again.
However..in the page you linked to there is a section about how transferring large amounts of data can dump your library. That seems to be the problem in this case. It won't even allow me to transfer more than 2 gigabytes of music per sync, if I go higher it will dump everything again. Having over >60 GB of music in my library, this is disastrous to say the least.
Do you think that there is any other solution besides the method you mentioned involving Smart Playlists? -
I have a sync problem when trying to sync multiple cd's I've downloaded into itunes, at the same time. I have an ipod classic 160 GB, and use itunes 11.0.1. If I delete the songs from itunes, reload the same discs one at a time, and sync after each individual cd, all goes well. What's going on and what's the fix?
Thanks for your help Jim
I found some info in other threads and read that some people had re-downloaded, re-installed and were now working OK. Unfortunately some others went through that pain and still had the issue.
I found a reference to deleting the file 'iTunes Library.itl' and copying back the previous version of that file.
I tried this and when I fired up iTunes I noticed there was a window pop up saying iTunes was updating the database to version 11. I then re-imported the CD and now the songs are there in iTunes, the artwork is there and song titles etc. The songs play and everything appears normal again.
It would appear that my issue was the database was not correctly upgraded correctly durting the original upgrade, this theory is to some extent supported by the fact some people have had success re-installing version 11. This also suggests the upgrade process may be a little flaky.
Anyway thank you to the person suggesting downgrading the 'iTunes Library.itl' file, sorry I did not take a note of your name. -
i have an ipod classic and I did have a macbook pro but it crashed. Is there any way to transfer the music from my ipod without losing everything on the ipod. Because my new computer is a pc it wants me to reset my ipod but I will lose everything.
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away. -
ipod classic 160 gb. Unable to Restore. Also cannot format via C:\ right click on drive and Format. Have tried all the recommended steps I can find. No luck. Any suggestions?
do you need an internet connection to do a restore? (after downloading the software of course)
I can't get to a different connection until Friday night...
It doesn't seem like the antivirus and whatnot made any difference.
what kind of hardware problem do you think it is/would it be fixable or would I have to buy a whole new ipod?
I think the harddrive is still okay... it feels the same vibration wise now as it was when it was working fine- no awkward clicking or movements like I experienced when my old laptop's harddrive crashed. -

I connected my brand new iPod Classic 160 GB to my brand new Sony home entertainment system through the headphone jack (to the audio line in). The volume is ridiculously low. Can somebody help me out here?
Make sure the volume on the iPod is turned up fully, since this will affect what you hear through the stereo.
Make sure Volume Limit is set to full. (From Main Menu, Settings/Volume Limit)
If you purchased your iPod inside the EU (European Union), then the maximum volume from the headphone jack is lower than elsewhere in the world. If this is the case, buy yourself a 30-pin Dock Connector to 3.5mm jack lead, such as the one linked here...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Decrescent-Connector-Stereo-Auxiliary-iPhone/dp/B007NIE5 EE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386012456&sr=8-1&keywords=30+pin+to+3.5mm
That connector will take a higher volume out (than the European Union's output) and that will be louder (and hopefully loud enough) through your stereo. -
I just purchased I IPOD Classic 160 gig 7th generation and when I look at my menu, I have no settings listed. I want to set it to shuffle mode within a genre. Do I need to have this connected to the itunes software for this to show up?

Brand new iPod classic 160 gb won't show up in iTunes devices
Brand new iPod classic 160 gb won't show up in iTunes devices. The iPod is fully charged, iTunes reckonises my iPod touch, iPad, iPhone 3G and iPhone 4, but not the iPod classic, although it says the iPod is connected it doesn't register in iTunes.
I purchased a new iPod Classic 160 GB in August 2013 and it (the iPod Classic device) would not show in iTunes though it did show in the Apple Finder. I tried EVERYTHING numerous times including resetting the iPod, updating iTunes and trying everything in the book and in on-line tips. Nothing worked and I was about to give up when I tried using the Apple iPod Classic cable that actually came in the iPod Classic box. It worked!!! Conclusion? Dont just use any old Apple cable eg. from a iPhone or whatever; TRY the USB cable that came with your iPod Classic!!! I have 2009 iMac with the latest Mac OS BTW.
