HT1320 how do i reset an ipod classic?

My ipod Classic has frozen. no matter what buttons i press it has no effect. Any suggestions please?

Hopefully,  you have charge the iPod, for at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours) (most time, iPod have no display because the battery is flat)
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 about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

    What do you mean none of these options? What have you tried so far? Are you referring to the 5 R's described here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/

  • How do you reset the iPod Classic?

    My iPod Classic froze up the other day and is totally nonresponsive. Does it need repair, or can it be reset?

    Try a hard reset.  To do this, toggle the hold switch on and then off, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may or may not work the first time around, so don't be afraid to try it more than once.

    Hello theplantman5,
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPod only shows a circle and cross (or x) screen after resetting or restoring it, try placing it in Disk Mode and restoring it.
    Restore iPod from Disk Mode
    Disconnect iPod from your computer.
    Manually put iPod into Disk Mode.
    Open the latest version of iTunes and connect iPod.
    Restore iPod.
    If these steps don't work, or you've already completed them, your iPod may need service:
    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.

    You have to restore via recovery mode by following the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and may need to do that more than once to succeed.  If you have a backup of the content, restore that after you have regained access to the iPod.

    how can i reset my ipod if the lock button is broken?

    To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
    If you mean place in recovery mode then use on of these

  • My laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!

    my laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!
    Please help!

    Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
    If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
    If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
    You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

  • How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID?

    How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID? It belonged to someone else so presumably it has been authorized with another id. Your help and answers are much appreciated.

    To make sure the file system is closed properly iPod classics should be ejected from the iTunes interface, or if iTunes isn't running, using the "Safely remove hardware" tool. That message is a standard warning. If the device shows up in iTunes you can configure the selection of media content that you want to sync to it and press the sync button to start the process. iTunes may spend quite a long time "thinking" before any tracks are copied over.
    If you think there might be something wrong with the device itself see Corrupt iPod classic for some troubleshooting tips.

  • How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (windows 8). It synced with my old computer (windows XP) but not with my new one (windows8)

    How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (Windows8).? It synced with my old computer (WindowsXP) but will not do so on the new computer?

    Hi Lechwe,
    I had this issue recently, due to changing HD for an SSD.
    In my case, since the library in my iPod was synced to the HD it was not syncing to the library in the SSD, though they were the same (had the same contents).
    I found there's this checkbox in iTunes > iPod > [Settings] Music, called "Sync Music". Mine was unchecked, I guess due to iPod being synced to the old library. I marked the checkbox and clicked then in Sync. iTunes asked me if I was sure I wanted to sync the iPod with the "new" library, i clicked yes, and the it started determining the song to sync. Since the library was essentially the same (just a couple songs more in the new one), it synced the couple new songs and that was it.
    Hope it helps!
    Regards,
    Awlo.

    I recently downloaded music on my iPad via iTunes, but I can't get it to my iPod. Any help?

    You cannot. There is no iTunes application on an iPad and iPods cannot sync with an iPad.

  • How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1

              How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1?

    You are correct in some of your assertions, Limnos but, if I were to follow Apple's wishes, I would have to purchase the latest and greatest Apple product every month!  I refuse to do that.  I understand that my G4 is old but, it does what I need it to do.  To answer your question though, I purchased the iPod classic as a refurbished unit, about 5 years ago and had it replaced three times, since then so, there is no way for me to know how old it is.
    From my knowledge of how the Classics work(which is extensive.)  It is basically a hard disk.  There should be of performing a low level format, plug it back in and the G4 should recognize the ROm and automatically search for the correct software associated with that version of iPod and load it but, Apple will most likely no longer carry the software on their servers anymore!(surprise,surprise.)
