please email me if u can at [email protected] or just reply.

For at least the Mini Golf game, you won't be able able to transfer it to the new iPod Classic. All the others should work perfectly. Just click on this link and you'll see a list of the 5 th Generation games and other: http://www.apple.com/games/ipod/

    I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb.  The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs.  The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process.  The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack.  Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause.  The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that.  Your advise would be enthusiastically received.

    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.

  • Which hard drives can I put in my 120gb ipod classic? 30gb, 60gb, 80gb or only a 120gb?

    which hard drives can I put in my 120gb ipod classic? 30gb, 60gb, 80gb or only a 120gb?

    Physically, the small capacity hardisk (60,80) are thicker at 8mm,
    while the 120gb is thinner at 5mm,
    there are some thin hardrive 30 GB (MK3006GAL), 60GB (MK6015GAL) and 80GB (MK8022GAA).
    The firmware 2.0 should be able to handle upto 160GB.hardrive.
    However the difficulty, is opening the iPod case, and getting the thin hardrive or else your iPod case wont close, better stick to 120GB.

  • I recently upgraded from an 80 to 160GB Classic but only some of the artwork in iTunes is synching. There was no problem with the old 80Gb classic. any suggestions?

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

  • Going from 30GB to 80GB

    Folks, I'm thinking of going from my 30GB Video to one of the new 80GB. Not worried about the cost, but more concerned about how easy and upgrade would be ... is it as simply as plugging the new one into the computer and having my tunes library sent to the new device? Thanks in advance for any/all advice!

    Follow the instructions in this article if you want to erase everything from the iPod; plugging the iPod into a new computer and then changing the computer it is linked to will erase music, photos, and videos from it, but won't affect other content, such as notes and data.

  • 80gb classic crashes computer, get blue screen.

    80gb classic
    Windows Vista
    Ipod crashes computer when itunes is running, get blue screen.
    A while back my ipod started having trouble playing songs. I would tell it to play a playlist of say 50 songs, it would then freeze for about 30 minutes, and when it would finally start playing, it would be 30 songs into the playlist. I also couldn't get itunes to read it.
    So I used itunes restore feature, and then after that, every time it tries to synch to itunes, it would crash the computer, and I would get the blue screen saying that my computer was dumping physical memory. Well nothing gets dumped from my computer when it does it, and the ipod stays the same.
    I even tried formatting it manually, having windows fix it, having itunes restore it again, but always the same thing... once it was restored.. BAM computer crashes.
    I can have it plugged in no problems, I can run itunes no problem, but when the two are done at the same time, it would crash my computer.
    So I looked for other reasons. I needed major updates for vista, so I downloaded all of them, which took a while. And I even uninstalled itunes and re-downloaded and installed. Now what happens is Itunes freezes when it's plugged in, but I can still use all my other windows, just itunes is inoperable while the ipod is plugged in. As soon as it is unplugged, itunes starts working fine again.
    I'm not that great with this sort of tech thing, so any suggestions would really be appreciated.

    many thanks, i!
    atapi.sys is a Windows OS file ... it's your Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller. So it's plausible that it's either got damaged, or we're looking at a driver issue that is manifesting as trouble with atapi.sys. So we'll proceed on those two fronts to begin with.
    Just in case the file is damaged, I think we should try an sfc /scannow. It's not user-friendly on an XP system, but the following document may be of some help (fingers crossed):
    http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html
    If no joy with the scannow, we'll try making sure your drivers and so forth are up to date. If you've got a name brand PC, head to the manufacturer's website and look for the downloads page for your model. Look for newer versions of firmware for your hard drive, BIOS updates and chipset driver updates (in particular), but now might be a good time to check on things like video drivers, RAID controllers and so forth.
    If you've got third-party componentry installed in the PC (like for example, a USB card, or an external drive, or a new internal hard drive), or if you have a home/custom-built PC, head to the websites of the manufacturer's components (in particular the motherboard manufacturer), and check for newer drivers, firmware and BIOS versions there. The following document may be of some assistance with that:
    Updating the drivers on your Windows PC
    Any joy with any of those measures?

  • 80gb Classic iPod is dying on me (Not Starting, Not Recognised...etc)

    Hi
    I have an 80gb classic iPod and I am having major trouble with it.
    It started with the iPod showing the Apple logo screen for a long time then a multilingual message saying I need to "Restore using iTunes" I have no problem with restoring, yet once I connect it to my Macbook Pro it is not recognised, not even in Disk Utility nor the USB list (from System Profiler). Now it doesn't even show the "Restore Using iTunes" message and just gets frozen on the Apple logo.
    It does however charge, I attempted the whole resetting thing but to no avail.
    Interestingly, the iPod automatically switches to 'Disk Mode' when I keep it connected to the computer, with the blinking "Do Not Disconnect" in old school screen. So I hurry to check with Disk Utility, NOTHING.
    So basically nor iTunes or the computer recognise it, and I want to restore it but it's being non responsive and I could seriously use some help trying something on my own before the trip to the shiny Apple Dealer here.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Well, here are a few other suggestions:
    try a different cable - one of the pins on your cable may be damaged
    try connecting to a different computer
    try connecting it to a different USB port on your computer
    try connecting it through a powered USB hub
    If none of these work, the only other suggestion would be to bring it (or send it) somewhere for diagnosis and repair. There are a few sites here in the States that offer this service, and I'm sure there is something available in the UK as well. They tend to be less expensive than asking Apple to service an iPod.
    I am not a Mac person (Windows for me), so I cannot give you any tips on attacking the problem from that side of things.

  • 80GB Classic touch wheel non-responsive

    Just got the 80GB classic, and am liking the new interface but the touch wheel is having some issues. The scrolling action only moves 20-30 lines at a time and then pauses, making it tedious to scroll through artists/albums. Anyone else having this problem? My old 3rd gen ipod would (and still does) scroll as fast as I can move my finger around the wheel.
    Have tried the reset suggested in the Apple KB article but no luck there. Any other suggestions?

    General opinion seems to be that the Classic wheel has a different response from earlier models. The Classic models won't work with skins that cover the scroll wheel for example and it's easier to lose access to fast scroll if you stray away from the optimum line. Since this is the first iPod I've owned myself (children have 5th gen) it seems to work OK although a fast scroll in Cover Flow would be useful.

  • Can't update firmware on *80GB Classic

    I was prompted to install firmware update 1.1.1 for my 80GB Classic but I keep getting the message that the request has been timed out. On the downloads section of Itunes the estimated download time is showing as up to 3 hours, depsite me being on a fast broadband connection. Previous updates have gone fine.Purchases from Music Store go fine.
    I have tried reinstalling Itunes and resetting Ipod but to no avail.
    Anyone have any ideas? I am on Windows XP Home.

    No you don't need to update the firmware.. but if you have forgotten the password you need to reset the TC.. it will then become available to the network.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Soft Reset to get around passwords.
    To actually get around the password all you need to do is press the reset button for between 1-4sec seconds.. do not exceed that..
    The passwords will then disappear for 5min reverting to default.. ie nothing on wireless and public for main access.
    That allows you time to do the setup. Then try again with your ipad etc.
    Otherwise find someone with a pc with windows and use the 5.6 utility on that or use an older Mac OS.. yosemite is hopeless.

  • Cant sync iTunes Videos to my NEW 80gb Classic!

    Just hooked up my new 80gb classic to iTunes for the first time and all my music loads just fine. However, I bought a handful of music vids and a couple episodes of Entourage from iTunes and they refuse to sync. Itunes gives me the "not the correct format" error. Did I just throw away $20? What can I do to resolve this?

    I'm sorry, the error is actually something to the effect of "your iPod does not play videos"

  • Problem with 80GB classic it won't be recognised on itunes or my computer

    My girlfriend told me that her pod had suddenly stopped working on her and was telling her that she had to restore it within her itunes, when she tried this the computer wouldn't recognise that there was even anything there. Later trying the same ipod on my computer i found that it wouldn't recognise the device on there either. I've heard alot of things about the 80GB classics suddenly stopping working when itunes is updated is this the same problem?

    I'm having the same problem. Been struggling to get 80gb Ipod Classic to work with Windows XP. I've gone through 4 Ipod Restores, and just when I think it's stable, some new issue rears it's head. Initially, I was convinced that I had a corrupted Itunes library, as eventually during a sync, Itunes would get stuck on some random file, and I would have to pre-emptively disconnect. Eventually, this would corrupt the database files on my Ipod, and it would start up fine, but say it had no content on it (but with, say, 60gb free). So I cleared my library and database files (my documents > my music). started from scratch basically. Since doing this, syncing has been fine for the past month...Now (started two days ago), connecting my Ipod to my computer, Itunes won't see it. On the Ipod, it shows "Do not disconnect" screen, and then "Ok to Disconnect" screen immediately. Last night, I experimented, connecting and disconnecting the Ipod to my computer, and eventually Itunes did recognize it (seems hit-or-miss), but then during the sync it eventually got stuck syncing a file, and I had to pre-emptively disconnect. Luckily, it did not erase/screw up the library on my Ipod.
    Another issue, I have is that Podcasts, never show in the outermost Main menu. The only way to access podcasts on my Ipod Classic, is to put them all in a playlist. Any one else with this problem?

  • 5thGen 80GB Classic Backlight in settings has no arrow no

    80GB Classic ipod.
    Suddenly there is no backlight. I need a flashlight to see what's playing and after having thousands of songs on here, it's just another apple frustrating issue with this ipod. It has been pretty much trouble free, except for a few hicups, but this time takes the cake.
    I went into the main screen on the ipod and noticed there is no right arrow on the right hand side of the screen, it appears to be missing or blank,. but I can see all the other arrows on the right side of the screen. (EQ, Shuffle Volume limit, About, Repeat,etc.)
    I went into SETTINGS, went to BACKLIGHT TIMER, which was set for 15 seconds. Went to BRIGHTNESS, and that's on high.
    So I tried to RESET it, that did not wotk, it's really not any good info. I toggled the switch back and forth several times, then it tells me to put it on HOLD, then push the center button,then the top of the menu button at the same time until the apple logo appears.......OK, now what? I went to the next thing to do, but that was it!  Once you get the apple icon, what to do next?????  Not very good instructions.
    I really don't want to RESTORE IT, because it will erase thousands of songs, which would be a pain to replace.
    If the LCD screen is the problem that controls the backlight feature, and it went south, is this what I have to be stuck with from now on with my IPOD ?  So it's basically useless without a flashlight to see what i want to listen too?
    Please tell me what, if anything I should do to rectify this backlight problem?  Thank you!  :-(

    ,"Firewire connections are not supported to transfer songs. Connect the USB cable provided."   And when I  do this....
    This is usually a good indication that there is debris lodged in your iPod's dock connector port or that some of the pins are damaged/bent/corroded.  Try taking a can of compressed air to it and a small brush if you have one to try and clean it out.

  • 80gb Classic won't sync or charge; "USB Device Not Recognized"

    I have an 80gb classic, and a 5th gen. 30gb ipod both with the same issue. I recently rebuilt mine and my husband's computers with new MB's and Processors. I reformatted the HDD's and then installed all necessary drivers and the like along with the newest itunes 9. My ipods had no previous problems and worked like a charm 5 mins earlier.
    I hooked them up to my computer and windows came up with an error message saying "USB Device Not Recognized...one of the usb devices has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it." I put in my other ipod, same error message.
    I have tried everything to fix this including, unplugging all usb's but ipod and trying all usb ports, reinstalling usb drivers, switching to 1.1, uninstalling itunes completely and using older versions 5-8, wiping OS and installing vista instead of XP, putting ipod into disk mode, resetting ipod numerous times, among some other things. This error message comes up on all computers in the house (4) including ones that have not been wiped or upgraded.
    In addition to windows and itunes not seeing it, it will not charge via USB or wall AC power. The Ipods are devoid of charge now, but when they were full on battery life they still played music through headphones and stereo with no issues, they just won't do anything computer related it seems.
    I have not given up hope because I have about 20gb of music and vids I foolishly didn't back up and I want it back. How is this possible that 2 ipods were fine one second then broken the next? Please, Please, Please need help.

    I have a Dell Laptop that I've been synching my iPhone with for six months. Now all of the sudden the connection has been lost. I'm having the same problem as you describe and have tried everything I have seen on this forum and elsewhere to fix it, but nothing is working.
    I think it is an issue with the driver, but I have confirmed that usbaapl.sys driver is installed in "Program Files," "Common Files," "Apple," "Mobile Device Support" folder. I tried copying the driver and putting it in the main Apple folder, but that doesn't help either. I have tried removing and reinstalling iTunes multiple times, rebooting my iPhone and computer (many, many times). I've tried updating the driver and pointing the USB device directly to the driver, but it does not see it. The strange thing is that when my iPhone is plugged in, it charges just fine. It just won't connect to iTunes or synch with my outlook anymore.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? This is a major issue for me as I have to synch calendars to be able to function between work and home. Doubly frustrating that it used to work and now it does not. The only thing that has changed is that I installed printer software and updated iTunes. No other changes to my computer that I am aware of between when it worked and now.

  • Unsure what to do with my broken 80gb classic.

    I have just received a 80gb classic as a gift from my work, it arrived tuesday and was working fine, i updated it to the latest firmware and loaded all my podcasts and music on and its been great since.
    Today i dropped it. straight vertical fall onto the headphone jack.
    in doing so, it appears that the screen has disconnected itself but in a way that it is still active because the screen shows bright white. I just restored it back to default and the Peso is working so im sure it is just the screen. the only other damage is to the headphone jack which is dented but still usable.
    I live in the UK and i am unsure whether this possibly minor problem that i have diagnosed myself is actually in requirement of Apples full repair price and im unsure how to go about returning the product.
    Can anyone help?

    Apple will fix and probably has flat-rate costs depending on how much damage they find.
    No, they won't. If Apple find the iPod has been accidentally damaged, they'll simply return it and might even charge a diagnostic fee.
    This is a quote from the repair terms and conditions.
    +"Apple reserves the right to refuse service on iPods that are outside their warranty if damage has occurred due to accident, abuse, misuse or unauthorized modifications. In such event, Apple will return your original iPod to you without providing service, and may hold you responsible for diagnostic fees."+
