HT2305 ITunes/Ipod Classic Problem w/reinstall

I had to re-install ITunes and now my Ipod classic doesn't appear in my ITunes & therefore, I am unable to access the serial number which I need to get help thru Apple. Think it would help to reinstall ITunes?

Okay now my fifth generation won't show up(in Itunes or on computer),it does make the ding noise when I plug in the cable. I've done the USB check and mass storage check and it doesn't show any red x'es or ! in anything so what should I do...heck I'm afraid I'll fix the fifth gen and then start having problems w/ the classic again!!!Both Ipods are up to date on itunes.I have windows XP 2000 service pack 2..THANKS!!!!!

How to get music for itunes windows to itunes ipod classic

how to get music from itunes windows to itunes ipod classic 160?

Connect the iPod to your computer, select the Sync options you want, let it Sync. Click on the eject button.
At which point do you get stuck?
Have you previously put music onto this iPod?

ITunes-- iPod Classic, iPod Touch, iPhone 4 - What to do, what to do....

Like everyone else, I've been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the iPhone 4. Unlike everyone else, I was disappointed in the release, but only in one respect - I thought for SURE that Apple would be releasing a 64GB model. No go, what a letdown!
So here is my dilemma...I currently have no iPhone. I have a 64GB iPod Touch 3G that is loaded with some 6000 songs, videos, applications, notes, etc. I actually purchased a 32GB model first, got the error about not enough room, returned it, got the 64GB model. iTunes tells me that I am currently using 49.41GB, of which 27.54GB is music, 16.62 is video, and the rest is incidental. That's a problem.
I also have an 80GB iPod Classic, which I sync to the same iTunes library. And I have another computer, currently without iTunes.
You can probably see where I'm going with this...I firmly believe in carrying around every piece of music that you've ever owned, because you never know Either I have to change my thinking, or employ one of several possible ideas that have been thrown out there for me:
1.) Install iTunes on computer #2, load up all music, sync it to the iPod Classic. Whittle down the current iTunes Library on computer #1 to something less than 32GB, and the iPhone becomes a "greatest hits" music library for me. Probably the easiest road with some obvious disadvantages.
2.) Back up my entire MP3 library onto external disk, and let iTunes convert those MP3 files over to some lower quality AAC files. I would probably still have to whittle down the library substantially to get below that 32GB threshold.
3.) Figure out some way of getting one iTunes library to sync differently with two different devices, I don't think it's possible. But I do know that there's some way that iTunes realizes that you don't have enough room and will sync to some sort of "iPod Playlist" if available.
4.) Pray that Apple comes to its senses and releases a 64GB model before I jump on the bandwagon.
Anyone have any other ideas?

With your iPod connected, click on your iPod on the left pane under "Devices." Look at the Summary tab, and you will see the option "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC." Next time you sync, it will place 128 versions onto your iPod/iPhone.
Be aware that the first time you use this option, syncing will be extraordinarily slow, since it must do an on-the-fly conversion of each song. In my case, the first sync took 9 hours. On later syncs, it will be quicker, since it does not have to re-convert the ones that are already on the device.

Continual Ipod classic problems

I would like to say first that I have been very patient waiting for an update to supposedly fix the problems of not being able to use mt ipod classic 160 I have owned for about a month and a half and it has been replaced about 6 times one of which time was at the apple store where it also crashed for them. I have tried everything loading it manually sometimes day by day slowly it would reach a point and just do the same thing over again. I am at my wits end, thank god I still have my rugged old click wheel ipod to get me through the day. A couple of days ago I saw that there was itunes update 7.5 so I downloaded it that said it fixed some ipod classic issues, I went to this discussion forum for a couple days and didnt see much activity about the ipod classic so I thought maybey there was a cure. I then today went to my closet where the last ipod I received from the apple store was and proceeded to load it. Everything seemed fine until the end when the ipod ejected itself it said it was safe to disconnect... I disconnected it and it went into a continual crash with the apple logo displayed. I then connected it again this time putting it into disk mode and did a restore halfway through the restore I got a message saying that the ipod was corrupted. The ipod ejected and again went into the apple screen crash and I connected it and put it into disk mode again and reconnected it and proceeded to restore it. The fist restoration attempt gave me a message of unable to restore the ipod error 1419 so I tired it a second time. The second restoration was succesful and the ipod began to load. It then disconnected and did same thing over again continual crashing. So the last step was to again to start it in disk mode and I restored again only to be able to not load anything onto it and restore back to the factory settings so it will turn off so I can return it back to the closet and continue to be frustrated and disappointed in my purchase. it is pretty bad when you spend close to 400 dollars for something and you cant use it. I need a solution.

Thanks for your concern. I am using Vista and its a bummer because I have a G3 ibook and probably wouldnt be having this problem if I were using it. But I have to use a PC for work and I wanted all my music on my computer also for traveling on business. I just think there are some bugs for Vista and they can't iron them out yet. There silence on issues is quite frustrating I am very disapointed in my purchase. I was going to bu an Archos player and decided to be loyal to apple because even though I am on a PC for work I have had nothing but Apple computers from the beginning. I think there support is lagging a little on the ipod classic. I guess the only thing I can do is wait for another update from Apple. Because when i take my computer and my ipod classic to them they get the same result I do and they don't know how to support it. I have no options at this point. I was looking forward to buying movies and music videos too. Back to the closet shelf.

IPod classic problem syncing

IPod classic syncing very slow with updated iTunes program, fix?

I've encountered the same problem. For some reason either it be the Firmware on the iPod or iTunes program - it doesn't automatically sync updates to the iPod.
The only solution I've found is to have the Manually manage songs and videos in the Summary window checked.
That way I can add or delete off the iPod itself and update accordingly.
It's a more tedious process but it's not like the 'old days' when you could plug your iPod in and it did all the changes. I guess Apple is placing less and less value on these players.

Audiobooks computer to ipod classic problems

Okay. Nothing seems to help. I have followed all the directions I've read and I still cannot get the audiobook I purchased to go to my ipod classic. I've updated the device. I've reauthorized the computer. I've made sure the audiobooks setting is "on" on the ipod. I've made sure the auto sync is selected. The book shows on my computer. I even tried dragging it into a playlist but it still does not show up on the ipod. Additionally, my ipod will not charge now when I plug it into the computer. It used to automatically charge and sync. What a hassle! I prefer the old itunes.

Audiobooks:
Connect device to iTunes, select the device either from the device icon at the top-right or from the sidebar (enable with CTRL+S), select the Books tab, then scroll down for options to make sure the book is selected to sync, and sync.
Charging issue:
In some cases you can get a small piece of fluff in the port that can prevent the charging lead making contact. Canned air or a good strong puff should dislodge if present. Poking around in the port should be avoided, but if it must be done use something flexible and non-conducting, e.g. a thin strip of card, and only if you can clearly see that something unexpected is there.

IPod Classic problem with BeoSound 8 Dock

We bought a Beosound 8 yesterday. The sound is wonderful, but it only works properly with my iPhone. My iPod (Classic 80GB) menu can't be accessed - the screen and 'click wheel' appear to be locked, with the display showing "OK to disconnect". The only way I can get the music to play is to select the desired album/track before docking the iPod, which rather defeats the object. The iPod works fine when not connected to the BeoSound. I've tried re-setting the iPod but that doesn't seem to change anything. The iPod software is up to date. Please can anybody help?

I didn't respond to your first post because I wasn't sure that I could give you any useful information. However, since you have posted again and have yet to receive any reply, I thought I would chip in.
You can confirm the software version on the iPod by either of the following methods:
1. On the iPod, go to Settings/About and when the "amount used" bar shows, press the centre button twice to move to the screen that shows the serial number, model and version.
2. Connect the iPod to iTunes and look at the Summary screen which will show you the *Software version.*
However, you need to be aware of the following; my 160GB Classic has *1.1.2 for PC* on it and is up to date. As far as I can tell (and I'm not expert at this) the Software 2.0.2 and later is only for iPod classic 160GB _*(Late 2009).*_ So for example, my iPod's software "is up to date" because it has the latest version _for my model,_ which is older than "late 2009". Likewise, I'm not convinced that your iPod will have 2.0.4 on it because it isn't for the 80GB Classic. If anyone knows differently, I suggest they add to this thread and let us know.
So that begs the question "are B&O correct to imply that your 80GB iPod can have that software?" If they are not, and their Beosound only likes iPods with that software, perhaps that's why your iPod doesn't work correctly - because B&O have got it wrong. (It's not impossible! I've seen one car stereo that the vehicle manufacturer claims to be iPod friendly, but it isn't. I tried using it and found it complete rubbish.)
Anyway, back to your situation: once you start the iPod playing, if you then connect it to the B&O, does it continue to play the rest of the tracks that you expect it to? For instance, if I connect my iPod Classic to my car's stereo, I start it playing the section I want (usually all songs on shuffle) and just let it do its thing. I can skip to the next track and back to the beginning of the "now playing" track, but I cannot use the playlists (despite instructions suggesting that I can) nor can I access the menus or change to a different selection (such as changing from one genre to another or one album to another.)
So I've got used to this quirk and simply decide what I'm going to listen to, start it playing and then connect it up.
By the way, when your iPod is coneected to iTunes, there is a button to check for software updates. I've not known it to be wrong.

Deleting content on iTunes/iPod Classic

I purchased through iTunes a couple tv shows that due to personal reasons I have to delete on iTunes, but what I want to know how do you cause iTunes to delete the tv shows on the iPod Classic??? Thank you.
Aaron

I use automatic sync of all checked tracks, so if I uncheck or delete something in iTunes, it is taken off my Nano the next time I sync. I don't have to remove podcast episodes once they have been played once on my Nano. iTunes updates the episodes as being played, and while they remain in iTunes until I delete them, they are taken off the Nano just by syncing after the episode has been played. To get the episode back onto the Nano, I mark it as unplayed in iTunes and sync again.
You probably have manual sync. Do you drag tracks to the Nano? If so, click on the Nano device icon on the left and delete the tracks manually.

HT1320 ipod classic problem

I have an Ipod classic, i have restored, reset, restored, reset...... and its still coming up in recovery mode and wont sync my playlist onto my ipod thru itunes...help i am ready to throw my PC and Ipod out the door.

A Big Red X is fatal, you need to have the Hardisk replaced.
To do a hard Reset,
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
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.

Ipod classic problems: screen and connecting to windows..PLEASE HELP ME!!

Ok, so I know many people have problems connecting their ipod classics to computers, it seems like it only happens to classics. But anyways, lately my ipod screen has also been doing weird stuff like cutting words in half..(example: instead of music it would show usic. etc.) Has this happened to anyone else? It has also erased some of my music, but luckily I was able to get it back. Does anyone know how to fix any of these problems?
thanks!
-krenny

I definetley think apple should work on that model, I've have friends who purchased a zune and haven't had problems with it at all since then. They did say it is difficult to find cases and car plugs, etc. for zunes though, I don't think I'd purchase one just because I like the way ipods work better ( controls, screen layout, etc.) but besides that I'd say they're pretty nice.
I just realized it was probably a bad idea to mention zunes on an Apple forum, but what the heck!

ITunes/iPod Nano Problem?

I recently purchased a refurbished iPod Nano 4th generation from GameStop. When I went to sync the iPod with iTunes, it proceeds to tell me that it is installing "Natrual Voice Text to Speech Reader Standard". After a moment, it shows this -
When I click "Cancel", it proceeds to show the same thing all over again.I have to end the task in Windows Task Manager to get the box to go away, and this closes iTunes with it. iTunes still works when the box is present, but the iPod is not recognized in iTunes.
Thinking this could be a virus, I ran antivirus scans on the computer and the iPod. Nothing showed up.
At this point, what should I do?

iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
