Functions on iPod classic want work in reverse why?

"I have an older iPod Classic 40gb click wheel. I have tried everyone one of the options suggested by Apple. The iPod will turn on and I can
move forward in the menu. However after a song is selected I can not click foward or backwards or go to the menu anymore, functions stops, why? I'm using Mac OS 10.6.8 and iTunes ver. 10.6.2 and the software on the iPod is 3.1.1.

TS1425 My iPod Classic was working fine all day. Came home and uploaded to voice memos via iTunes, now there is no sound coming from my iPod. I've used both headphones and a docking station. The songs don't even begin, they just skip to the next one.

My iPod Classic was working fine all day. Came home and uploaded 2 files via iTunes, now there is no sound coming from my iPod. I've tried both headphones and a docking station......nothing. The songs don't even engage, they skip to the next one. I've tried rebooting the iPod and still nothing. Any ideas?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you tried resetting the PMU?
I'm not optimistic that this will help any more than the procedures you've already tried, but it won't hurt to try.
Do you still have your OS 9 installation? If so, try booting into OS 9 and see if the problems with the audio are happening there, too. If so, you can bet it's a hardware problem.
How big is your hard drive and how much space remains available on it? If you don't have your OS 9 installation in order to check out whether it's a hardware problem and you have enough available hard drive space, you may want to try an Archive and Install of the OS in order to make sure it isn't an OS X system-wide problem. If that doesn't do it, you could back up your hard drive and restore your software.
All of this may just be spinning your wheels, but it's all stuff you can try before shelling out a lot of money for repairs.

New 3G IPhone. Why won't my IPOD Classic headphones work with 3G?

Why won't my new IPOD Classic earphones work with my new 3G IPhone? These are the original earphones that came with the IPOD and IPhone. Thanks.

When I tried the headsets again, they all work. I didn't have one of them plugged in far enough. I guess didn't want to breakanything. Thanks for your reply. All fixed!!

How can i set songs within a playlist, or an entire playlist, so that they are not included when using the shuffle function on IPOD Classic? Is this possible?

You can set any song to Skip when shuffling.
In your iTunes Library, highlight the song and right-click/Get Info. On the Options tab is the Skip when shuffling box. Select that and then Sync the iPod with your Library.

My Ipod Classic Stopped Working

Hey..
please help me, my Ipod Classic stopped working for a 3H And i can't use it
or turn it off ..
what's the solution ?
Thanky you

I am having a similar problem at the moment. My ipod is a 20g and fairly new. It has been skipping through all of the songs as though they can't be played. I have soft reset it on numerous occasions and most of the time it has worked. But now I have reset it through itunes for about the fifth time and it won't work. All I have on screen now is the apple symbol and I can't get anywhere. I have updated itunes and reset my ipod after removing all of the music. It seems to be corrupted somehow. Is there any software I can use to wipe it or possibly defrag it other than what is available through itunes?
My computer can recognise the ipod but itunes won't.

QT player export function for iPod doesn't work!

hello
i just bought QuickTime Pro.
unfortunately, the export function for iPod (.m4v) doesn't work...
it stops after a short while and dont't go any further.
thanx for your help!
greetings, iMats
iMac 800MHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

While I haven't used it, QT 7 and the iPod preset (H264 encoding) seem to be quite slow compared to other compressors. Many people have mentioned the seeming freeze, while other state that if you let it run long enough it will eventually finish the project. If you don't have the patience to wait, you might want to try exporting to mpeg-4 and see if that works a bit faster.

My ipod classic wont work with my new macbook pro?, My ipod classic wont work with my new macbook pro?

My ipod classic, (that I've previously used on another mac), is not working on my new Macbook Pro?? I've had all my music transered to my new Macbook, but can't upload anything onto my ipod :-(

IPod Classic 80GB works OK with iTune 9.0.2.25 under Vista Home Prem-64Bit

I have been reading all of the many problems people are having with their iPod classic after their iTunes 9 upgrade.
I just wanted everyyone to know that I have been upgrading iTune software automatically as soon as they become available, and right now it is Ver. 9.0.2.25. My operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium - 64 bit. Everything is running just fine.
Hope this piece of information helps narrow the focus as to where problem lies.

Glad you've been doing okay, PK.
Here's a few possibilities that might be worth checking on with people that aren't covered in the standard documentation.
*Windows 7 USB Host Controllers and nVidia chipsets*
One issue that has been catching people out on *Windows 7* systems with nVidia chipsets is a flaw in the Windows 7 USB Host Controller drivers, as per:
[You encounter problems when you move data over USB from a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer that has an NVIDIA USB EHCI chipset and at least 4GB of RAM|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976972]
It can manifest as intermittent trouble with normal syncing. Then folks (naturally enough) often try a restore in an attempt to rectify matters, and then can't restore, or have no luck whatsoever getting any syncs to work afterwards.
Here's a typical example of that one:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10948150&#10948150
*CA security software*
CA security products have been interfering with restores, updates, iTunes Store connections and sundry other matters in recent times. Folks with CA software can often get past that by applying the settings changes described in kalda01's post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10525876#10525876
*error 0xE8000065*
Seems to be related mostly to the Intel P55 and P55M chipsets. Checking for BIOS and chipset updates helps for some people. With others (with a user configurable BIOS of the right sort), the following workaround has been of some help:

(Unfortunately, not everyone gets that option in their BIOS.)

80GB Ipod classic Not working

well i have a 80 gb ipod classic and as soon as i plug into my computer it just decideds to freeze itunes and not let me click anything on itunes but allows me to still run everything else, also in my computer my ipod appears there but does not allow you to accsess it also, but also does not appear in itunes
any help/advise ??

I am having the EXACT same problem. All the buttons work fine on my 80gb iPod Classic, except for the play button.
I am experiencing the exact same thing as the poster. The play button will not work. I also have to unplug the headphones to pause the music and let it go to sleep when I am finished.

I am using Tiger, 10.4.11, and have an iPod classic 120gb working fine. Just got a 160gb classic and would like to sync it to same i-Tunes file. It said "must have iTunes 9.0 or later to sync." If upgrade i-Tunes to 9.0.2, will my 120gb iPod sync o.k?

I am using Tiger, 10.4.11 and have an iPod classic 120 gb working fine with about 7 gb of music on it. I just got another iPod classic 160 gb for my wife, and would like to sync it to the same iTunes file, but I got a message which says I must upgrade to iTunes 9.0 or later. If I upgrade to 9.0, will my 120 gb iPod be o.k. with that? Rumor: I have heard that iTunes 9.0 or later changes the format of the music.

Thanks to all for reviewing my question. I am trying to avoid a possible disaster here, having to load about 90 cd's all over again. If anyone knows, could you tell me what will happen if I download iTunes 9.0, and install it. Will it copy all of my music into it, or fail to recognize it, or recognize 8.0 and just upgrade rather than replace it? Thanks again. Tom

IPod (5G) and iPod (Classic) Not Working

_*iPod 5G:*_
I bought the iPod 5G 2-3years back ago. It was working all fine. Few months back I accidentally dropped the iPod. After this, the iPod was not working at all. None of the buttons works. But i am still able to put in on HOLD or even restart/put to disk mode. I am using it as a 80gb External Hard Drive.
*iPod Classic (120GB):*
I bought this iPod from Bangkok in December 2008. Later, in March, used to restart by itself and freeze suddenly when a track is being played. I had some tracks on it then. Whenever i try to play any track it showed the time 00:00 and started to play that particular track after this 'click' sort of sound from the inside, possibly from the hard drive. It even freezes during the RESTART process. So I had to bring it to a stable condition by restarting it during it is being restarted. My computer is not able to identify it. I have tried to restore it a couple of times now. Sometimes, I am able to get through the RESTORE process but most of the time my mac/ipod freeze together and wont come back to normal until and unless the usb wire is pulled out forcefully. Well, whenever iTunes recognizes it, I try to sync music. I have about 200 tracks in this one playlist. Whenever i try to sync it, the ipod freezes together with my mac. The sync process stops without copying all the tracks to my ipod. After that the screen goes black and then comes back with a dull APPLE logo displayed.
+Information on iPod Shuffle:+
My dad is going to Bangkok tomorrow. I asked him to get me a Shuffle. The new one that talks. I use the ipod mainly in my car (using the aux). There are no buttons on the Shuffle as everything in situated in cable of the ear phones. How am i going to use the controls if my connect the AUX (from my car's stereo) to my iPod? I wont be able to change tracks, pause or even shut down the ipod. Another thing is that whenever the ear phone plug is disconnected from the ipod, while it is playing a track, the track gets automatically paused.
This is very long, consumed a lot of time for you to read/for me to write. I guess making it longer would help me to kill time as I am running a ZERO OUT format on the 2nd ipod I own. :P
Thank You,
Samin

The classic bought in December 2008 would still be covered by warranty. Have you arranged for service for it?

IPod Classic not working in car but works everywhere else. Troubleshooting?

My iPod is not working with my Infiniti iPod jack but all other iPods work fine with the in-car system. My iPod synchs fine to my Mac and to an external stereo player through the connector on the bottom of the unit. So it looks like both units work fine with any iPod, but only my iPod will not work with the car while it does work with other connections. How can I troubleshoot this? Thanks for any help.
BTW, the Infniti is a 2008 G37 and the dealer just put a brand new unit in it and the same thing happened. The iPod is a 2008 80GB Classic.
Heeeelp!!!!

I have the same problem with my infiniti G37. Soo frustrating!

Ipod classic wont work with Itunes

This is my first ipod purchase and I am not pleased, its 2 days old and still isn't working. I did exactly how the instructions set out how to set it up. I plugged the ipod in, it charged for a few minutes, and a menu popped up on the screen for my language, I selected it and then it went to the connected screen, and continued to charge, I loaded itunes, nothing appeared, so I decided to let it charge to full, after it had been fully charged, still nothing, I have done everything apple have suggested, reset ipod, unistalled itunes, reinstalled, turned off the ipod service and turned it back on again, used a different USB port, itunes just will not find my ipod, therefore I cannot set it up to add files to it. I am extremely disheartened by how incredibley difficult this has been as this is my first apple product

When connecting to your Mac, make sure it is a high power USB2.0 port on the CPU body, do not use the USN port on the keyboard or any USB Hub.
If you are connecting to a MacBook Pro, only one USB port can provide enough resource for the high Drain device like the iPod. The other USB port is shared internally with other IO devices.
Given the huge amount of iPod Classic sync issues, I would recommend, that you dont use any USB port with other devices, when you are syncing or Restoring any iPod Classic.
So with the above info
Reset you iPod while connected to the High power USB port.
When iTunes comes up and prompt you to Restore, please do so (this will fix any hardisk filesystem corruption)
Good Luck!
