Help in purchasing another ipod classic

i want to buy another ipod classic.  any ideas on where to find the real thing.  i'm hesitant to pay so much and not get a brand new ipod.  many say they are in unsealed packaging but the packaging isn't for retail.  what does that mean?  any help would be sooo appreciated.
APPLE NEEDS TO BRING BACK THE CLASSIC!!!!   iphones and ipads have all the apps the the ipod touch has.  so sad!

  • HT1351 I have just purchased an ipod classic 160GB and decided to sync my itunes music and videos that I purchased via itunes.  All the music sunk but it didnt sync my videos.  It said that they were in the wrong format.  What to do??

    I have just purchased an ipod classic 160GB and decided to sync my itunes music and videos that I purchased via itunes.  All the music sunk but it didnt sync my videos.  It said that they were in the wrong format.  What to do??   I would have thought if I bought the films from itunes it would be compatible with an ipod classic??  How do you change the video format?

    My mistake, it was nothing to do with format.  It woldn't sync because my movies were HD.  HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod.  Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions.  Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

  • I want to purchase an ipod classic in england but i live in spain will i  be able to use itunes the same way to download music, does it really matter  which country you buy your ipod

    does it make any difference if i buy my classic ipod in another country, i live in spain (dont speak spanish) & have itunes already on computer, but will be buying my new ipod in the uk, cheaper!

    I would recommend trying to purchase an iPod in the United States. iPods sold in the EU have the volume control crippled.

  • How do i transfer songs from my ipod classic to another ipod classic?

    How do I transfer music form one Ipod classic to another?

    Music cannot be transferred from iPod directly to another.  You'll need to make sure the music on the iPod is in your iTunes library first. Once you have done that (if it even needs to be done) go ahead and sync it to the 2nd iPod.

  • I have an ipod nano 8gb which is full, my husband is a jazz fan, I am thinking of buying another ipod classic 160gb - is it possible to link this to the same library in itunes and just put all his jazz on the new ipod?

    I have an ipod nono 8gb which is about 5 years old and is full - my husband is a jazz fan, and now I have  jazz on my little ipod and my ipod touch. I am thinking of getting an ipod classic 160gb and putting all his jazz on to it. Is it possible for me to link it to my Itunes library and his Itunes library and just put all the jazz on to the new Ipod classic? if so, how do I then delete the jazz of the other two ipods?

    There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account. 
    You might want to create a seperate iTunes library for him, perhaps on another user account on the system and move all of his Jazz music over to that new library.  Once you have all of his music moved over to his own library, remove it from your own and then resync both of your iPods to clear his music off.  This is just one way to do it.
    If that was a bit confusing, take a look at this article for a few ways to manage multiple iPods with one computer.

  • I Need Help On Fixing My IPod Classic 160 Gb

    ive been very very frustrating lately on my iPod classic 160gb so the problem is when I connect my iPod to iTunes it just freezes iTunes freezes not my iPod so when I disconnect my ipod itunes unfreezes and also my iPod appears as a removable disk not as iPod please help

    It's possible that there is a problem on your iPod's hard drive.  iTunes freezes because it is trying access the iPod's iTunes data, but is unable to do so.
    Hopefully, the problem is  data corruption, and not a hardware fault.  Either way, you probably need to try doing a Restore on the iPod, which will erase its current content.  These are the instructions for doing a Restore.
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
    However, that's probably not possible because iTunes freezes when you connect the iPod.  Therefore, first try putting the iPod into Disk Mode.
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode
    If it goes into Disk Mode, connect it to the computer and run iTunes.  If iTunes does not freeze, or it prompts you to do a Restore, do a Restore on the iPod.  If the Restore completes successfully, the iPod's hard drive is probably OK, and you'll be able to set it up for syncing.

  • PLEASE help: video on new iPod Classic 160gb

    Hi all,
    I would be really grateful if someone could help me. I was lucky enough to receive a shiny black 160gb iPod Classic for Xmas to replace my old 3rd Gen one.
    However I'm having a bit of trouble with videos. I have downloaded some video podcasts via iTunes store that have synced to my pod and play fine. However I have just downloaded some TV shows from the internet - they play in iTunes and are listed in my iPod under"My Devices" but I just can't find them on the pod.
    Any ideas????

    Hiya and thanks for your respose!!
    I downloaded them from a torrent site but they did say they were specifically formatted for iPod use - the file format is MPEG4.
    However, I've also tried downloading a video podcast from directly from iTunes (again in MPEG4 format) that hasn't synced to my pod either.
    It seems the only video I've managed to sync is a podcast I downloaded about a year ago and two music videos I had from importing CD's.
    Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • [PLEASE HELP!] Problems with iPod Classic 160GB.

    Okay, I was about to sync my iPod Classic 160GB and go to bed. I plugged it in and everything was good. I am not sure if it was syncing yet, but it fell off the cord because my HP laptop moved. I wasn't worried at the time, The apple screen came up so I pressed Middle Button+Menu to reset it, then I plugged it back in. When I plugged it back in it said I had to format the drive in G.. The screen of the iPod said Connected Eject before disconnecting and had the circle arrows like when it is loading. It seems to be working fine when I unplug it.
    But anyways, When I unplugged it a second time (I did click Disconnect in the toolbar on the actual device, not in iTunes) it didn't work again, and it brought up the grey apple screen again, then went to the language. so I plugged it back in. Then I said OK to the reformat. I clicked Default settings to the format and left the Volume Label blank because I don't know what that is...
    It said WARNING: Formatting your iPod will delete all files on it, or something along the lines of that. so, I said okay, I'll just resync it, just get on the reformat. When I clicked format it said that it couldn't format my iPod... So, once again, I disconnected it, ejecting from the actual device in the toolbar, and it was absolutely cleared asking me for the Language. It keeps doing this every time I plug it in, and even when I switch USB slots. it wont read into my iTunes either.
    I am really sad, and please answer because my iPod is basically my life, this is my worst nightmare come true.
    PLEASE ANSWER QUICK, Thanks...

    I had a simalar problem with mine about 6 months ago. I formatted my ipod to and it completely fried my ipod. I had;the same ipod and it was just out of warrenty.  Yours might be fried,take it to a genius bar. I ended up getting a used iPod because I had to have music.
    **** I am no tech wizard*****
    So Sorry about your iPod...

  • I purchased a ipod classic on 1/27/13. I now have gotten a red x when I turn it on. Is that covered under the one year warranty?

    When I went to the applestore I was told that it was covered for only 90 days. What I read on the website says 1 year. The tech also did not seem to know much about the ipod classic. He was very rude and condescending.

    Hey James1964,
    Sorry to hear about your experience at the store. You can leave feedback here:

    To address the issue with the iPod, if you haven't already done them, I'd like to supply you with the recommended troubleshooting steps for when you see that red "X" icon on your iPod:

    Disconnect iPod from your computer.
    Manually put iPod into Disk Mode.
    Open the latest version of iTunes and connect iPod.
    Restore iPod.
    Setup Service for iPod
    If you cannot force your iPod into disk mode and restore it, then your iPod may need service. Click one of the links below to setup an iPod Service Request online or make a reservation at the Genius Bar before visiting your local Apple Retail Store.

    Hello adifromba
    Try putting your iPod Classic into Disk Mode to force a restore within iTunes to get it to show up. The steps to do that are within the first article below, I have also provided a second article for further troubleshooting if it continues to not show up.

  • Purchased another Ipod do I need to install software again?

    I just purchased a new Ipod shuffle for my son - I have a mini - do I really need to install the software and I tunes again before plugging in the shuffle?

    Your Shuffle should work just fine, there's no need to reinstall iTunes. Just check you have the latest version of the updater which you can get here: http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

  • Need help before purchasing 5G iPod to be used on a Mac

    Hi y'all,
    I am looking to invest in a new 5G ipod, and I am really excited, but I have a few questions for the iPod experts out there. (I find the general public to be more knowledgeable than sales associates) OK...
    1) I currently have a 2nd generation 10GB touchwheel iPod (old school!) I know that the new iPods do not come with power charges and I do not have a computer with USB 2.0. I will buy the so called "Apple iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable" (Part Number: M9127G/A) Since the one end of this cable should connect into the bottom of the 5G ipod and the other end is a standard 6 pin firewire connector, can I use my existing power adapter from my 2G ipod to charge the new 5G ipod????????
    2) Is this device really worth the hype? Please provide some insight.
    iMac FP Combo drive, iBook 800, iPod 10 GB   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    1) I believe it can but dont quote me directly...do a search on these boards and youll see many related post on this same question.
    2) I was leary on all the hype to. That was until i actually got one in my hand 2 weeks after they were announced. I compared it to my old ipod photo. It saw so much advancement between both models that i knew it was a solid ipod. I ma sure youllb e very pleased. Just warning though be smart and research what and how you can get videos to work on this ipod so you can be smart when you get it.

  • Help with a 30gb ipod classic

    [IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/2cwpf7b.jpg[/IMG]
    My ipod is displaying this screen, i have tried to charge it and it wont work. The computer does not recognise it either.

    Not sure what happened, but have you tried to do a hard reset to see if that fixes the issue?  To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

    Glad 7.7.1 worked for you, I updated itunes on my macbook, and every time i try to sync the music to my ipod classic, it goes for 23 songs and then it freezes and I get "Cannot read or write to this disk", and it ejects it. I tried uninstalling itunes, reinstalling an earlier version (7.6.2) same problem, plus a new issue with itunes. (It was a clean uninstall, btw, I got everything cleaned out, I think, lol). Video's transfer fine. And no good way to get ahold of apple. That's great. If I have no music on my ipod, it's useless. Think they'll give me my money back? (lol)
