How drop-resistant/durable is the iPod Classic?

How durable is the 7th gen Ipod Classic? I recently dropped my Ipod 160 gb classic twice on the same day! Once at Best Buy, it fell out of my pocket while playing Xbox Kinect like two feet onto the carpet, and then agian while getting out of my truck not reliseing my ipod was on my lap, and it fell face planting 5 feet onto the driveway.  I can't tell if there is any problems with it, but it still plays. I was woundering how drop-resistant/durable the Ipod classic, and would it effect the sound quality.

I'v used my iPod (5G... just upgraded to classic) for the past 4-5 yrs working out 5 to 6 times a week. I invested in an armband (with one of those rubber iPod cases) and I have never had to replace it. I have never had issues with the iPod malfunctioning while running or lifting weights. My battery finally died and rather than replacing it I decided to just invest in the latest model. I like the variety.

  • How to store content on the iPod classic

    Dear all,
    I've got a small problem.
    Oh, at first I wish you all Merry Christmas.
    Now, back to the issue :-)
    Not all my films can be played on my iPod classic. Only those that I bought in iTunes Store. All the other, that I usually convert to format called "Apple Universal" can be played on Apple TB, iMac, iPad, but not on my iPod classic. Only if I convert movies to the other format. Smaller, with les pixels. But when I bought something via the shop, the same film can be played everywhere. And I do not want to convert the films double. Once for iPod and second for anything else. Plllls, is there any way how to do it?
    And if no, is there a way how to even store movies on the iPod, withot playing in on it. I would like to use it ony when I go for holiday as a media storage. In a hotel room connect it via AV cable to the TV and only on TV play it.
    Kind Regards for any advice in this matter.
    Martin

    You remove it from the list of items in iTunes set to sync with the iPod, or if syncing it manually, select the iPod in the iTunes source list, find that music, and press Delete.

  • How come Apple still sells the iPod classic?

    It's beautiful but I think people like touch screens more?

    it is all personal preference. if you like loss less format and have a big library then the classic is the way to go. the ipod touch use lots of space for built in apps that most of us dont use (takes up music space).

  • How durable it the iPod touch 5 screen?

    I'm always really afraid that I'll crack the screen if I drop my iPod touch 5. I see people with broken iPhone screens everyday, I'm and really afraid that one of these day I'm gonna end up with a shattered iPod. I know I should get a case, but it can't find any that aren't rubber. I HATE HATE HATE rubber cases. They always get stuck in my pocket and get gross lint all over them. What are some cases that are slim, plasticky, and are protective? The case I have now is a little too slim and it's basically only for  decoration,  because it wouldn't protect it at all in a drop. Plus it doesn't go over the edges so it causes the screen protector to peel. Do iPhone 5c cases fit on the iPod touch 5?
    I also HATE screen protectors, they always get bubbles and dirt and dust under them and they just look awful. And the. They alway peel away in my pocket. How scratch resistant is the screen? How can I get my screen protector on PERFECT without bubble or peely edges? I know you can get them done at the apple store, but the nearest Apple store is 4 hours away from me. And apparently everyone in my town is too ghetto for apple stores idk.
    So how durable IS the iPod exactly? Will keys in my pocket scratch it? Will this stupid buttons on the top of my jean pockets scratch it? Will dropping it Fromm approximately 5 feet onto a wood/tile floor crack the screen (case less)?

    Hello. Skydiver pretty much said it all! Don't know that I have anything more other than another voice in the dark. You really should get the case that is meant for your iPod. The phones look like the iPod but they are different dimensions and buttons are in different places. The screens are glass and glass breaks and scratches, etc. Unfortunately the cases that protect the glass as well as the body of the iPod will have rubber and add some bulk. As for falls and drops, any fall / drop may do damage if it hits the road so to speak the right wrong way, even with a case, but your odds of survival without damage are better with a case.
    I have a Griffin Survivor it's day glow yellow and black, makes it easy to find. One of the benefits of the rubber, makes holding on to my iPod easier, and it keeps the iPod from slipping falling out of my pocket when I bend over. The seals on the ports have kept mine clear of stuff in the ports and kept the weather off my iPod. I know this is starting to sound like a commercial but I'm happy with my case. I have beat the snot out of it, dropped it on rocks, spilled tea on it, been caught in the rain and snow, gone dirt biking, rolled it down a flight of stairs in a backpack with a glass bottle of tea, (remember the tea), the bottle broke, tea on everything, ruined everything, but just wiped the iPod off and still going, and worst of all... left it in the hands of a 6 year old, so far, so good. Something to note some cases state they are waterproof and some say they are watertight, waterproof means spill something on it or get wind driven rain on it your most likely protected (the Survivor is waterproof) but drop it in the toilet and your all wet. Watertight can go in the water and should be OK as long as the seals work. Sorry it's so long, Hope this helps, Good luck.

  • I have an iTouch, and I just got an iPod classic -  how do I copy podcasts from the iTouch onto the iPod classic?

    I have been able to move over music, by dragging and dropping the "music" icon into the area on iTunes on the left that shows the iPod classic, but I can't move over podcasts - how do I do this?  Thanks!

    Like LexSchellings said, simply plug it in, configure to sync however you like, and then actually sync away.  Basically, you can do the same thing you did with your first iPod. 
    There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync with one iTunes library, computer, or account.

  • How to play only one episode of a podcast on the iPod Classic 120GB?

    With my previous iPod-- the 60GB iPod Photo-- I could play only one episode of a podcast. I would scroll to "Podcasts" on the main menu, find the name of the podcast I wanted to hear, click on an episode and only that one would play. If I wanted to listen to all the episodes of that particular podcast, I'd access it through the Playlist feature.
    The system above for playing a single episode doesn't seem to work on the iPod Classic 120 GB. All the episodes play no matter how I access the podcast.
    What am I overlooking?
    Thanks.

    I must have had the Shuffle setting turned on for the old iPod, but I forgot all about that.
    Probably not! My 30GB video iPod will only play one Podcast episode at a time and this does not change by using shuffle. I think your 60Gb iPod was the same as the 30GB.
    As S_Edwards has posted and as you have found, the Classic does use shuffle to alter the way Podcasts are played. Quite why Apple use shuffle to control single or continuous playing of Podcasts, and then not document it either, is a mystery.
    As a useful reminder, while the Podcast is playing, the screen display will show 1 of 1 to denote single-episode mode or 1 of x to denote continuous-episode mode.

    For the iPod Classic, in settings, how does the volume limit work? After setting a limit, how to re-set to a new volume limit?

    This thread - with a quote from an LR4 Beta thread - says that all 6 central Basic controls in PV2012 (Exposure thru Blacks) are now image-adaptive, as were Recovery, Fill Light, and Clarity in previous versions:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4253485
    Whether they are suitable for creating a Timelapse sequence without significant flicker is entirely subjective and up to you - and of course, dependant on your specific images & how they change over time.  Sorry, not much advice beyond try PV2012, and revert back to PV2010 if you get too much flicker.

  • How much does it cost to replace a battery for the iPod classic?

    How much does it cost to replace a battery for the ipod classic?

    Depends on if you have Apple do the job or a third party repair company.  Apple will charge you $59 to swap the battery out.

    You may be able to find 3rd party service centers that do it for less.

  • HT1386 How do I get the music on the Ipod Classic on to an Ipod touch

    Please Help

    Everything on the iPod classic should be in your iTunes library, ready to restore to it or add to any other device. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Is the Ipod classic gonna be discontinued?  I love it, I have two of the 160gb ones.

    Is there a danger of the Ipod classic being discontinued?  I love it, and have two of them since i have such a big CD collection  I don't know what I would use if that went away.

    We should not speculate about the future of an Apple product here.  A point to consider is why we need to carry around our entire music collection.
    My music library is "only" about 45GB at this point.  I don't own any iPod that can hold it all, but that's not a problem for me, because 45GB is almost 20 days of continuous music.  I have no need to have all of THAT with me on an iPod.  A 160GB iPod would hold more than TWO MONTHS of continuous music.
    I like to listen to my music in shuffle mode, which lets me hear songs I have not (intentionally) listened to in a long time, songs I forgot I had.  Even my 1GB iPod shuffle is sufficient to listen to my entire collection in shuffle mode.  I use the Autofill feature to randomly fill my shuffle from my complete music library, every time I connect it to my Mac to charge.  When I play that music, I am essentially shuffling a random selection of songs from my complete library.  So a 1GB shuffle lets me listen to my complete 45GB library in shuffle mode, over time.
    On my 8GB iPod nano that I use for running, I have a "favorites" playlist that I sync from my iTunes library.  I also have Genius playlists that I have iTunes create for me, and I sync those to the nano.  This keeps the songs on my nano focused on songs that I like to hear, not random songs (so it's the opposite of how I use my shuffle).
    I prefer to use the newer (smaller, lighter, and more durable) designs, and load them with songs smartly, not completely.

  • I need a Metronome for the iPod Classic

    Hi all,
    I own an iPod Classic 6.5 G and as an musician i would love the iPod being capable of helping improving my skills and tempo feeling with a simple metronome.
    The click in mp3 format is, for me, a very incomplete solution, and I really don't understand why Apple is not developing such a little piece of code, that nowadays is included in every crappy cell phone.
    As an iPod Classic costumer i feel a bit abandoned, just seeing how many nice apps are developed for ipod touch/iphone and how poor is the offer for the ipod classic.
    A small effort for a huge community of thankful musicians.
    Regards

    Huh. I've never seen a metronome on a standard cell phone.
