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 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 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).

iPod classic content is missing from my iTunes library after a reinstallation of Windows 7 on my PC. How do I restore the contents of my iPod classic to my iTunes library WITHOUT losing that content on my iPod?

I am rebuilding my iTunes library, but still have all the old content on my iPod Classic. I have just download some songs from the iStore and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when I try to sync it asks if I want to delete all content from the iPod and add only the material that I have just downloaded from the Store. I do not want to lose my old content, because it is very extensive.
You are trying to sync to other than the one iTunes library you can sync to. You can copy music from multiple library/computer if you use the manual method of syncing. That method is described here
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
If you want to make this computer/iTunes library your syncing computer/library you have to restore the iPod on this computer/library. Restoring erases the iPod.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
To copy other music to the computer see:

My dausgther has forgotten the password to her ipod touch. The ipod has never been sunced to itunes. Is it possible to recover the contents of the ipod?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

"iTunes cannot read the contents of the ipod", How can I fix this?
Hello everyone, I am having trouble with my iPod touch 32GB and getting iTunes to detect it. I'm using Windows 7.
When plugging it in tonight, I got the message "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod (Name). Go to the summary tab in the iPod preferences and click restore to restore this iPod to factory settings". I attemped to do this, but I then got an iTunes error "3184" and was unable to install the iPod software.
I've tried...
- Using a different computer
- Using a different USB cable
- Rebooting the iPod
Nothing seems to work. I've read a solution as to delete one of the iTunes files on the iPod, but the iPod doesn't show up in my Windows Explorer, so I am unable to do this. The computer does however charge the battery when I have the iPod plugged in. I'm also able to still listen to music on the iPod as well.
One other note, I had the same thing happen to my previous iPod touch. I got my original iPod touch back in December 2010. In October 2011, the iPod just died one day and I was not able to turn it on at all or charge it. When I'd plug it into the computer, I got the exact same errors and was unable to restore the iPod. I sent it in to Apple as it was still under warrenty and they sent me a replacement. Now 3 months later it's happened again. Of course the warrenty starts from the day you purchase the original, so this is no longer under warrenty despite having it for only 3 months. The only difference this time is that the battery still charges and I can still turn it on and listen to music.
Any ideas?
Thankshi Angie!

I'm unable to access content on my iPod Classic while it is connected to iTunes.
The iPod itself shows up and is set to manual management, but I am unable to view or play any of the content on it (music, movies, podcasts etc.).
I can click the tabs Music, Movies etc. but I can't see anywhere to access the files themselves, no music or movies are listed, I only have the option to 'Sync' with the iTunes, which I don't want to do as there is no content on the iTunes!!!
I just downloaded the iTunes program.
Very confused, pleaseee help ...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. -
I have the IPod Classic. In the past, whenever I connected the IPod to my computer, ITunes automatically added new playlists to my IPod. It no longer does this. How do I copy new "Playlists" to my IPod?

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.maderoos wrote:
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. -

When connecting my 120GB iPod Classic I receive the prompt; iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "Name". It asks me to reset it. If I do this I will lose the contents of the iPod. The iPod shows no music on it yet 41GB of data is on it under "About" on the iPOD itself. It would appear that the music files are still there. I don't want to reset the iPod as it will mean reloading a significant amount of music i.e. my entire CD collection. Any suggestions? Has my iPod died?
(I'll lose all my music right?)
That is correct. A restore wipes all content from the device, resets all settings back to their defaults, and loads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device.
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
After all the music is safely in iTunes again, go ahead and restore the iPod to factory settings as it says.
