"the system can't find the disk", but it's always connected without touching it! Can anyone help me?!
I tried to reset the ipod but I cannot syncronize the new music I added.
Could it be a problem of the songs or the ipod?

  • Are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

    are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

    I have an iPod Touch 2 with iOS 4.2.1.  This is the highest version that works on this device.  I checked it once and it had to do with iOS 4.3 and above only supporting the higher RAM CPUs on newer devices.
    Apple does make it harder than it needs to be.  There still remain a number of apps available on iTunes that will work but they are hard to find because you must manually look at each app specs to see if the app supports an iOS below 4.3
    App backups are your friend since iTunes has no way to keep older version of apps.

  • Can't reset new ipod classic

    I've just bought a brand new ipod classic 160Gb and managed to get it to sync with iTunes and download all my music. However after I disconnected it from my pc the Apple logo screen appeared. I then tried to reset it by pressing the centre button and menu as I've done many times before with my old ipod classic 80Gb. All this does is get the Apple logo to reappear but it never gets to a point where the start menu appears.
    I've used this reference to put the ipod into disk mode http://http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363 and then was able to access the hard disk in Windows and see that there were files on the ipod. I left it attached to the pc until it was fully charged. Afterwards when I managed to exit disk mode the problem hadn't been solved.
    Is there anything I could do in disk mode to resolve what is going wrong? The article above doesn't say anything about what you do once you are in disk mode.

    Hey basilfaulty,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Looks like the iPod does not start up past the Apple logo. This article explains what you can do after you have tried Disk Mode.
    iPod only shows an Apple logo and doesn't start up

    I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restored bcause there are files that are used by other application. My iPOD appears in My Computer in drive H as a mass storage generick volume

    Try disabilng the Enable Disk Use option from under the iPod's Summary tab, applying the changes, and seeing if that helps.
    Otherwise, temporarily disabling any antivirus, security, firewall, or file indexing software that may be running on your system and then try restoring your iPod again.

  • My ipod classic 80gb shows an error code 1439 can it be fixed

    my ipod classic 80gb shows an error code 1439 can it be fixed or can anyone help please.

    Hey there tomhanson
    How are you?
    Well, I have an iPod Classic, it gave me the error -1436 error and would not restore on iTunes.
    I did the following:
    My Boss (@work) has a fairly old iBook but it has OS-X, so I decided to give it a try and connected my iPod to it.
    The system showed a window telling me that the disk is not MAC formated and needs to be validated prior further action. Snce it is a Mac product, I thought "yeah, go ahead".
    It then opens the disk manager utility for the Mac and showed the disk. It's window has some tabs, one is to verify the disk, so I verified it. Guess what, it had some invalid clusters.
    Then I formatted the iPod to OS-X Plus file system (next tab to the right). After formating the iPod, I "ejected" the iPod and reconnected to my PC. The Windows iTunes found an iPod with Mac file system and asked me to restore it. As I clicked on the "restore" button, I crossed my fingers as this was the last resource I have.
    Finally, after the file extraction was done, it began to restore the iPod!!
    I'm so happy about being able to restore the iPod that I decided to share with all you guys this solution as it is the most usefull, in my opinion.
    Hope you can find someone with an iBook or a desktop Mac, so you can fix yours.
    If it works for you, make sure to share the tip!!
    Kind regards

  • Can't find my movies on my iPod Classic 80GB

    I downloaded some free comedy podcasts that are in movie format.  At first they wouldn't copy to my iPod Classic 80GB.  I then figured out that I needed to create a new version using the menu option in iTunes.  I did that and sucessfully copied the 8 podcasts to my iPod.  With my iPod connected to my computer, I can see the "Movies" category on my iPod and the 8 podcast videos that I placed there.  However, when I disconnect my iPod and search for them, I cannot find them on the iPod.  There is no "Movie" category on my iPod and looking for each one via the "search" feature comes up with no results.  What gives? 
    If it matters, I'm using a MacBook running 10.6.8 and using iTunes v. 11.0.1
    Thanks in advance for any ideas/help you can provide.

    Ah! But iTunes and iPods have so many options, it's sometimes difficult to know them all.
    I just happen to know that one.
    and that's what this forum is for!

  • How can I get an album from my iPod Classic 80GB onto my refurbished MacBook Air?

    Hi there
    I have a new to me refurbished MacBook Air and an old iPod Classic 80GB.  I've somehow managed to get my music off my iPod onto my laptop apart from one album which doesn't seem to have copied across.  Please could anyone tell me how to do this?  On my ancient iBook, back in the day, you could just drag music across to copy it but that doesn't work here.  I've looked on Help about backing up, but it's a bit cond=fusing as the set up isn't the same the Help section mentions, although I must have managed to back up to have the rest of my music on my laptop at all.
    Also, please could someone explain syncing to me?  I've looked on Help, but i still don't know what it means.
    Sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm not that clued up technically, thought trying to educate myself bit by bit now I have my own laptop.
    Thank you in advance.

    Ps Just to add a bit more information, I just realised there are loads of albums on my iPod I don't have on iTunes on my laptop.  I wonder if the ones that /are/ on my laptop got there are there because there got there via me having the same apple id.  I don't know if that's a ridiculous suggestion, but thought I'd better mention it. 

  • My apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. can't restore.

    my apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. the only way to unfreeze it is by detatching the ipod or resetting with menu/centre (until it loads up again, where it immediately unfreezes and comes up with a load of messages saying "cannot read iPod" and when i try and restore it by pressing menu/centre button while it's plugged in, it says "cannot restore as it is being used by another program" or "error 1415". Any ideas how to sort this out? hope i haven't majorly screwed it up. thanks.
