Getting my 80G Ipod classic to play on TV,s or video players

I have tried almost everything I can to get my Ipod to play on video players and my TV. I have the setting to TV OUT on. Have all the cables that I need. Yet when I try to play it on any thing else all it does is stay on the TV OUT screen Get sound but no picture. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help?

If you bought the iPod AV Cable (The one for $20), you got the wrong one. That one -the one that connects from the Headset jack to the 3 color cables (RCA)- is not for the iPod Classic, it works only with the iPod with color display, iPod Photo and iPod Video.
I saw one kit earlier today on Wal-Mart with a bigger box and for a much bigger price: $99 Dollars! HEY APPLE! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? You need to be more clear on your packages as to what iPod is compatible that device and/or need to make more devices for the iPod Classic.

I cannot get my new iPod Classic to play through car dvd with USB.

My car stereo is a Clarion VZ709 in dash dvd player. According to Clarion's website, this iPod is supported and should be playing through the USB connection, but all it does is display on the iPod screen "Ready to Disconnect". My new iPad3 64GB WiFi plays perfectly through the car stereo, and it is not even listed in Clarion's list of supported devices. Any idea why one is recognized and not the other? And how to get the iPod recognized? I listed this under "connecting to a mac" since there was no category for connecting to a car stereo. Thanks!

Do a Hard Reset, while connected to the Clarion, hopefully your iPod is fully charged
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the Red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons

The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I have!

First off, I would STRONGLY suggest that a external hard drive would make you life much easier by at least being able to back up your songs on the external drive for when you need them. Even if you don't want them in the iTunes library, you can have them all ready on the external to be re-added as needed. You can get 100's of gigs for under $100 shipped.
Anyway, since you used Yamipod, are all the songs back on the computer? If so, I would go ahead and restore the iPod, let iTunes then resync everything back to the iPod, then switch it back to manual and see if the restore and resync clears up the issue.

HT1339 ipod classic doesnt play

My 80gb ipod Classic wont play. The music syncs with my itunes and it all appears to be there, but when I click on a song to play it, nothing plays. I hear a small (only can hear it of you put your ear to it) high pitched whirring and ping sound as if its trying to do something and keeps repeating the process. Any ideas how I can get past this?
I've tried restoring it and I get a 1413 eror message. I've tried installing the new versions of ITunes and we're all up to date.

I assume you have tried everything in this article?
iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

80g Ipod classic only holds 16g What's wrong ?

I have an 80g ipod classic but when I get about 16g of music in it, it locks up and erases everything.
I tried restoring and updating but nothing works.

Try restarting if that doesn't work then try self diagnosis;
To restart, press and hold the centre button and the menu button that is at the top of the click wheel. Press and hold both of these utill the apple logo appears.
When the iPod has reset it's self try again to get sound.
To run diagnostics
Follow the restart steps, when you get to the screen with the apple logo press and hold the centre button and the track back button at the left of the click wheel. When a black screen with writing appear let go.
The following screen may look a but scary but scroll down to the audio option and go through the tests to see if it recognises head phones and see if it can produce audio. When finished repeat the restart steps to get back to normal iPod functionality

How can I set my Ipod Classic to play the next podcast rather than repeating same one

I have several episodes of a podcast on my Ipod Classic. I would like to set it so that when one finishes, the next episode starts. How can I do this?

As you may have found out, the iPod Classic will play Podcast episodes in reverse order if you let it simply play from the programme's episode list.
The solution is to create a Playlist with the epsiodes in the order you want them to play. You can either create a Playlist in iTunes and Sync it to the iPod, or create an On-The-Go Playlist on the iPod itself. Make sure that shuffle is turned off, because if it is on, the Playlist will stop at the end of the first episode.
Oh, and to stop it repeating the same one, turn off the repeat feature too.

80G ipod classic, black, having a fit. Keeps turning itself on and off

Hey people.
I made the mistake of letting my 80G ipod classic run down to a completely empty battery. I think it is the first time in the year since I bought it that I have done this! Anyway, it keeps flicking on and off when I plug it into my macbook. The apple logo appears and then it goes, it appears and then it goes. I've left it plugged in for 2 hours now so it's obviously not taking any charge because its not been recognised by my macbook at all. It doesn't show up in itunes and it doesn't show up in finder.
I can't even do the 5 Rs because it won't stay on long enough so I'm not sure what to do! I think it might be dead but I wondered if anyone had any ideas on how to save it.
It's been treated quite well, I have dropped it once and it ended up in the bath once but that was over 7 months ago and it has shown no ill effects at all so I don't see how that could be the problem now.
Anyway, let me know if you think you can help fix it. I kinda need it right now to help me learn Japanese!

Ooh I just tried plugging it into another laptop and it dd the same thing, but when I took it out it said 'conect to power'. That's the first thing it's done other than display the apple logo for a fraction of a second in a while. I'm just going to leave it plugged into my laptop for days and see what happens.

Why does my ipod classic stop playing after a few songs?

why does my ipod classic stop playing after just a few songs?

is your battery charged? How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a playlist when it stops)? I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.

IPod Classic stops playing

My iPod classic stops playing intermittently. I've 'restored' to factory settings, have the latest updates, and currently have only about 20Gig of music on it and it's still doing it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. It only started doing this in the last six months and I bought it in 2009.
thanks,
Peaky11.

Hi, i have a logic 3 £20 of amazon which seems to work fine, the only prob i had with it is that it kept saying battery full and i had to press play on the remote to restart the music.
Does anyone know if the problem your talking about is with all speaker systems or just certain ones? Anyone know which ones work fine with it as im looking for a new speaker system for it.
Thanks

30G iPod doesn't play audio in movies or videos

My 30G iPod doesn't play audio in movies or videos... Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

What is the source of the videos and movies? Downloaded from the iTunes store or did you convert them from other sources? If the latter...
QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

How can I get my iPod Classic to play playlists in the order I selected them to play ?

I've had my new iPod Classic for a couple of months, and with the help of a couple of third-party books (e.g., the missing manual), I'm getting comfortable with its operation. But here's a baffling issue: It appears there's no way to select, say, three or four playlists in iTunes and to synch them to my Classic so that they play in the order I want, much the way I did for many years with my 5-disk CD player. Note: I assiduously avoid shuffling, and I do all my synching in iTunes manually. I'd be grateful for any help (or workaround) to deal with this irritating issue. Thanks to all.

On the iPod, create an On-The-Go Playlist.
Navigate to the first Playlist you want to use; press-and-hold the Select (centre) button until the Playlist name flashes. This puts that playlist into the On-The-Go Playlist, which is located at the bottom of the Playlist menu.
Now navigate to the second Playlist you want; press-and-hold the Select button until the Playlist name flashes. This has added the second Playlist to the On-The-Go Playlist.
Repeat for each Playlist you want to add.
Once you have added all the Playlists you want, scroll down to the end of the Playlist to On-The-Go list. If you go into the On-The-Go list, you will see all the songs form your other Playlists, in Playlist order. Simply scroll to the first song and press the Select or Play to start the first song playing.
By the way, there was no missing manual. No manual was supplied.
If you cannot find the answer by:
trial and error
by looking at the online manual;
160Gb Classic> http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1195/en_US/iPod_classic_160GB_User_ Guide.pdf and 129Gb Classic > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA630/en_US/iPod_classic_120GB_en.pdf (no idea why there's a difference to be honest)
