HT1459 Cannot play ipod classic on philips micro hi fi system using a USB connector

I have an older classic ipod and cannot play it on a new philips micro hi fi system using a USB connector. Serial number for ipod is 5U7458PSY0R

Hi,
theoretically it is possible to obtain a digital signal from the iPod, but it's not that easy. To my present knowledge, the only dock that actually does it is (will be) this one:

What does "has restore" and "hangup" mean?
Maybe the battery is dead but need more information.

Cannot Sync Ipod Classic with Itunes 11

After installing Itunes 11, I cannot sync my Ipod Classic. It has worked perfectly up until this version. Here are the options I like:
Open Itunes when... -- ON
Sync only checked... -- OFF
Convert higher... ON (128) (I have a LOT of music I like to fit on this little ipod)
Manually manage... -- OFF
Enable Disk Use... -- OFF
I have tried restoring the ipod and resyncing everything, but that doesn't work eiter.
I also got some errors about not being able to copy some podcasts (like 100 of them) when I tried syncing after restoring, but I have seen that before and just ignored it and it still gets stuck.
It gets stuck around song 5, I've left it running for two days and still no progress. Even checking "On this iPod" shows me that no songs have sync'd.
Help?

Update: More information and how I've temporarily solved this problem. I installed the new iTunes 11 on two computers when it came out both of which have the same specs. One was an upgrade from most previous version of itunes, the other was a new install. My idea was to move my library to my other laptop as the old one was running out of space.
I copied my iTunes library over to my other laptop, installed iTunes and started making adjustments like deleting smart playlists and turning off genius. My thinking was to see if i could get itunes to run faster on my other laptop. It did run alot faster with all the genius playlists btw.
I now have my music in two different locations; same everything minus some smart playlists. Long story short, my identical playlists that where not syncing did sync from my original laptop. so there is something different between my two laptops that is causing the sync not to work, again my guess is converting tracks to acc. Maybe the upgraded itunes has files that my new install itunes does not which allow conversion of songs to ACC.
Good news is iTunes now allows you to have multiple locations without deleting your iPod so I can retransfer all my music on my old laptop and keep the library on my new laptop. At least until Apple comes up with a fix.
Good luck, I'll drop more info if anything changes.

Playing Ipod Classic with no car radio?

Is there any way to play an Ipod classic in a car that doesn't have a radio, but has speakers?

If you put "iPod FM transmitters" into your favourite search engine you'll get dozens of hits for these. A good place to start would be one of the review pages for comparison of different models. Have a look here for instance: Playlist - Product Roundup: FM transmitters

You can plug the iPod into the same iTunes library as your iPod Touch and sync whatever content you like to it. There is no limilt to the number of iPads, iPhones, or iPods you can sync with one iTunes library, account, or computer. How you sync one device will not affect the syncing preferences of the other.

No matter what I do I cannot restore ipod classic. Ipod is corrupt with unknown error 1439.cannot restore the ipod Have tried all options but . can anyone help?

I recently bought a second-hand ipod classic. When connecting to itunes the message reads that the ipod is corrupt and needs to be restored to factory settings. However, this does not solve the issue and I get the message saying unable to restore, unknown error 1439. No matter what i have tried through apple support i get the same result. My computer runs Windows XP but I have also tried on my laptop which operates Vista and still no joy. Anyone able to solve this one?

Normally unknown error is due to timeout, cause by
connected to slow USB port at the front of the PC, or using USB Hubs - Better connect to the USB HUb at the back of the PC. (Some Laptop, has only one High Power -USB2.0 port
USB resource low, due to sharing of other USB devices - Disconnect all other USB devices when Restoring.
Winsocks conflict with iTunes - Disconnect Internet and Stop firewall and Antivirus, emails apps.
Your hardisk is dying, read this earlier post by tt2.

This wont solve your problem. but is very helpful in troubleshooting.
It would also help, if you can state
Which version of iTunes are your running?
What is your iPod software version as shown in the iTunes summary page?
Have a nice day!

HT4235 HELP! I am trying to synch my ipod classic after a few years of non use of itunes. I cannot do so. Diagnostic tests, specifically Device Synch Tests report that "no ipod found". What have I got to do please?

HELP!!!! I am attempting to synch my ipod Classic but have not used itunes for a few years. My ipod refuses to synch & its driving me crazy as I know nothing about computers either. I have run the diagnostics, specifically the Device Synch Tests which report that "no ipod found" although it is showing up clearly in itunes itself. So its recognized and showing me my libraries but is unrecognised when it comes to synching. I gave tried a few tips from previous similar queries (unchecking various boxes) and nothing is working. I am using Windows 7 64. Can anybody assist please??

You could try the DFU restore method in Corrupt iPod classic.
Or visit http://www.apple.com/uk/support/contact/ to explore your support options. Is the device still in warranty?

Itunes cannot synch ipod classic

My Ipod crashed during a Synch, the only way i could get any sense was to reset to factory condition. Now it looks like a new iPod Classic in it's self and it opens itunes when plugged in, but itunes does not list it for synching, can this be fixed?

1. Update iTunes to the newest version.
2. Reboot your iPod for a trial.
3. Restart your computer or mac.
4. Try a different USB cable and USB port.
5. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
6. Try another syncing method: Wi-Fi sync.
7. Reset & Restore your iOS Device.

I cannot get Ipod Classic to sync in iTunes

Hope someone can help me. I have an iPod Classic that will not sync any of my music to it. I just got a new computer with Windows 8 (before I had Vista). Windows recognizes the iPod and so does iTunes. It starts to sync, the wheel turns for about 20 seconds then says 'eject before disconnecting". I've tried restoring the iPod, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and I've run the iTunes diagnostics. On the sync test is says no iPod found. I've checked to make sure iTunes was enabled and I've also made sure new computer was authorized. Any ideas?

How is your iPod configured to sync music to your device from iTunes? In other words, what configurations have you made/enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs in iTunes.

I want to use my iPod Classic with my MacBook Pro, I am using it on my G5

I have me iPod Classic, on my G5. This is where all the content on the iPod is from. I want to be able to connect my iPod Classic to my MacBook Pro and be able to have the iPod show up, on the devices list where I could access all my music, playlists and podcasts. Where can I find information on how to do this?
Thanks in advance for reading and replying to my post.
Sebastian

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

My ipod classic is having problems with docking system worksok with earphones

my ipod classic seems to having problems on docking station gear4 houseparty smart dock. its playing ok but am unable to make louder and wont respond to remote . its charged to the full and my sons i phone works perfectly

Hey Silverdemon, sounds like a short, most likely in the headphones. Try a different set of headphones with this iPod or try the headphones with a different device. If the problem stops with your iPod or it moves to another device, then replace the headphones. If within 1 year of date of purchase Apple will replace the headphones for free if problem is a defect, not abuse. If the problem continues with a different set of headphones, check the port for damage and foreign debris. If you note debris, attempt to remove it, if damage noted contact Apple and set up an appointment to have it evaluated. if nothing appears wrong, try plugging / unplugging to jack about 12 times maybe corrosion on the contacts if so that should clean it. Next thing to try reset your iPod. After that try restore from backup. Last resort, restore to new. Just make sure you make a full backup to your computer before you restore so no data is lost. If nothing works, contact Apple and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

Ipod Classic will no longer connect to car deck's usb

I updated my ipod in itunes and now my car's usb deck will not recognize the ipod. It had been working for years without a problem. I emailed kenwood and they said apple pushed out an update that is causing compatibility issues with car decks. They suggested a "soft reset" which did nothing. Kenwood told me to contact Apple and Apple wants me to pay for support. Guess I'll surf around this forum till I find a way to revert back to an older version of the ipod software.
Here's the thread from kenwood:
Thank you for contacting Kenwood USA Corporation. We value you as a Kenwood customer and appreciate the opportunity to be of assistance.
I understand you are having an issue with playing back your Ipod. If you recently updated your Ipod to the newer iOS4 software version we recommend attempting to soft reset the Ipod and attempt reconnecting to your head unit. The available updates from Apple have caused some issues with connectivity. For information on resetting your Ipod we recommend visiting www.apple.com.
Please feel free to contact us again with any additional questions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Read this Apple Support Article on Restoring iPod.
It is on step 6.
Restore would reformat your iPod Hardisk, if it is still in good condition, but some iPod Hardisk may be damage, due to abuse and misuse, so the Restore would fail.
For a successful Restore, I would also suggest that
Disconnect all other USB devices
Use the USB2.0 port
Do not use any USB Hub.

Why will iTunes v. 8.0.2 not load my songs to my iPod Classic 3rd generation ver. 2.3 using OS 10.5 ?

Problem: iTunes does not automatically transfer my songs to my iPod.
I have an iPod Classic 3rd generation v.2.3, it has a 20GB capacity, I'm using iTunes 8.0.2 and am connected to a Mirror Drive Door 1.25 GB DP running OS 10.5. I am using the Firewire Dock to communicate with my Mac and to charge/power my iPad.
It has a bad battery, however, it still holds a charge. I've been able to reset the iPod. I do not have the installation disk. The iPod does cause iTunes to open. The iPod shows up in the iTunes sidebar. It shows that it has checked for updates. However, I'm using a dial-up connection and thus, it will not finalize a connection with Apple to do the RESTORE. My problem is that according to the manual any songs in iTunes will download to the iPod automatically. Well, it does not do that. In fact, I have seen no evidence that that downloading process has ever been initiated. I have connected the iPod at least a dozen time with the the dock plugged in when placing the iPod into the dock. I've also plugged the Firewire connector into the port on my Mac with the iPod already in the dock.
Am I missing some step or some setting that I have to do manually for the transfer from iTunes to the iPod to take place?
Anyone have any ideas, I would appreciate assistance from my fellow Mac compatriots for your help with this problem.

Thank you so much! It's updating now. I'm hoping that once the update is finished that it will sync like normal as well. Of course I'm still a bit confused/concerned about how it refused to update on it's own, but for now that's not a problem. Hopefully from now on there won't be any more problems.

My daughter bought an 4th generation ipod classic without a charger. We are using the charger from an ipod touch and it won't charge. Someone posted online that not all chargers will work on the classic. Anyone else have this issue and any suggestions?

My daughter bought a 4th generation ipod classic without a charger. The ipod was working just fine, but then we tried to charge it using a brand new charger for an Ipod Touch. It won't charge and someone online someone posted that there ipod touch charger worked on the ipad, phone and whatever else he had but it wouldn't work on the classic. Anyone else have this same issue? Any solutions?

The ipod did not come with a power cord as we purchased it used from ebay. The ipod was half charged when we received it and it worked well enough to transfer songs to my computer (the previous seller didn't delete their 2000 plus songs). My son then used the same cord on his computer to transfer the songs, but processed an update to the ipod and after that,it wouldn't work. So, I'm not sure if we received a bum ipod, an update issue or we have a charger issue, but the cord we used to transfer the songs came from my son's brand new ipod touch. We've also tried 2 other chargers from ipods we have in the house, 1 being a wall charger.
One individual posted online that he took his ipod classic, mac and phone overseas with one charger and it worked fine on all but the classic. So, I'm thinking that they cords may not be universal. Online I've read that it must be a 6 pin firewire, high power 2.0 usb cord. Or that I need to purchase an applie charger. We don't live close to an apple store and I'm reluctant to order one just to have it NOT work.
My daughter is learning the hard way that buying off of ebay is not always the best solution to a cash strapped 12 year old.
Any other advice is greatly appreciated.
