I'd like a new iPod Classic model

Is it really too much to ask for one with a larger SSD drive and possibly wireless sync capabilities? Admittedly, since I got a Sonos the iPod has been relegated to the office but I still use it most days. What else would you like?

We're supposed to stick to technical support questions and answers.
Whatever Apple's future plans are, they keep them very much to themselves.

I just received a new ipod classic and I would like to sync it with my Itunes. However, my Itunes or Mac computer isn't picking up that it is hooked in. What do I do?

I just recieved a new Ipod classic. I am currently trying to sync it with my Itunes (on my Mac computer), but my computer and itunes isn't even showing that it is hooked up to my computer. Can you help me set it up?

Figured out the problem!

I have a new ipod classic...

I just got a new ipod classic 120 gb model. It does this thing where while the ipod is showing the usual album cover and the name of the song, the time remaining and so on. After about a minute and a half, the screen changes where it's only showing the time in big numbers and the battery indicator only instead of the usual screen. why is it doing this, and is there any way to get it to stop doing that and show the album art and the song like normal. The older ipods did not do this. I have not been able to find any information about this. Thanks.

You can turn it off under settings. Have the backlight stay permanently on, but this will run down your battery faster.

Are they coming out with a new iPod classic

Are they going to make a new iPod classic. If so what is it going to be like.

We aren't Apple, just users of Apple's products, so we don't know.
But - probably not. Apple just released a 16-GB 5th gen model this summer.
Otherwise Apple would have revealed the new 6th gen in September/October this year.

How can I get films purchased from the iTunes store to work on my new iPod classic?

I have recently purchased a new iPod classic, everything works accept it will not play films. At first I thought it was a problem with the films I was trying to put on as they were from my computer; but after purchasing some films from iTunes it still keeps saying that they cannot be played on this device. Please help as I have spent money on films I otherwise cannot watch.
Any advice is welcome.

Hey Shelly29,
It sounds like you might be trying to sync HD videos to your iPod classic.
HD videos purchased from the iTunes Store are compatible with iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), Apple TV, and computers. You may need to download your purchased video from iTunes in the Cloud in a lower resolution for your device.
You'll want to check out the following article to resolve the issue, specifically the "Download previously purchased content in a lower resolution" section:

Itunes won't sync to my brand new ipod classic. It says "The Ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found.

I have been onto Apple by phone, and into the Apple store where both of them recomended that it gets replaced. I did, got a brand new ipod classic, and i still have the same problem.
I have attempted to restore, but it won't let me for the same reason.
On a couple of occations it starts to sync!! however it goes through practicly the whole syncing process (12,000 songs, heaps of videos) and then just freezes up! The little rainbow orb spins forever until i have to force quit.
I have had my old ipod and my partners ipod regestered and used on the one itunes with no complications whatsoever, our old ipods sync perfectly with no problems at all.
very frustrated.
Is it my Ipod Box?
Or is it Itunes?
or does it not like me having more than two ipods registered?
with the last new ipod which was replaced and the current new ipod that's a total of 4 ipods regestered on the one itunes
My partner has a Dell Laptop with Microsoft. I downloaded Itunes on there, ripped one cd, formatted the current new ipod, and it synced the one cd i ripped with no trouble at all.
Has anyone else had the same problem with their Ipod Classic?
Mick

Is iTunes up to date (10.7)? Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB or using a different USB cable?
I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread to check your Hard Drive's health. He always covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Windows XP sp3 + iTunes 8 + New iPod Classic 120GB = Blue Screen Of Death

HELP
My PC has just upgraded itself with Windows XP Service Pack 3, I have downloaded iTunes 8, and just today bought a new iPod Classic 120GB so I could enjoy the new Genius facility (my old iPod was a 20GB model from 2005). However I keep getting the Blue Screen Of Death whenever I plug in the new iPod, even if I start-up the computer with the iPod connected.
I've read other threads about this topic, but I've only seen people reporting this issue with Vista, not XP.
- I'm thinking of uninstalling and re-downloading iTunes 8. Will it retain all playlists, album artwork etc.?
- I'm also thinking of trying to connect with the iPod manually set to disk mode. Will this help to begin with?
Anyone got a fix for this problem yet....Apple?

As a follow-up to my questions above, I've now tried uninstalling and then re-installing iTunes 8 direct from the Download link at Apple.com. I still get the BSOD. I also tried with the new iPod 120GB manually set to disk mode. Again, still I get the BSOD. I also unplugged a couple of other USB peripherals from my PC (writing tablet, card reader), checked for any more Windows XP Updates, but still get the BSOD.
Anyone got any more ideas?

Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic. What is the fix?

Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic. What is the fix?

If you are using automatic syncing with your old iPod, select that iPod in iTunes and go to its Music tab (next to Summary). Note how this Music tab is set up. Maybe you can do a screen shot.
Now, select the new iPod in iTunes. Go to its Music tab, like you did for the old iPod. Set up the new iPod's Music tab exactly like the old iPod, and Apply the change.
The music on your new iPod should now match the old iPod.

Connecting new iPod Classic to a TV

Hi! I am hoping that someone can help me. I am somewhat new to this whole mp3 thing. I did get my 9yr old daughter an iPod nano for Christmas and have been helping her set hers up, but that's pretty much the extent of my experience. So, please forgive my ignorance.
I am thinking about getting myself a new 80gb iPod classic. I would like to be able to easily hook it up to various TV's to watch downloaded movies. As I believe that composite hook-ups are the most universal, I'm thinking that composite cables would be the way to go. However, after researching this for the past couple of hours, I think I am more confused than I was before. If I am understanding this correctly, with the new iPod classics, you have to purchase special $50 Apple cables if you want to watch your videos on a TV. And then there is a $50 dock that is available that I can't really figure out what it does. Is the dock necessary? Do I need both the cable and the dock? Is there anything else I would have to buy? Is there a better and/or cheaper way to achieve this? I would really like to know before I spend $250 on the iPod how much more money I am going to have to spend in order to watch downloaded movies on the TV. Any help/advice at all would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
AC

Unfortunately for both of us the $50 cables are required for the use of an iPod classic on the TV. I got on the chat with one of the apple professionals to ask this question because I have purchased $10 cable that I thought would connect my iPod to the TV for the purpose of viewing videos, to my surprise all I was able to achieve was sound. After messing with the video settings it was all still to no avail. As far as the Dock...it's not required for use with your TV, the cables will do just fine, and I've not looked into what the dock does myself.

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

Using iPod Camera Connector on the new iPod Classic

Hi, I have successfully used the iPod Camera Connector on my old Classic iPod to back up my camera. Would like to move with the times and buy the new iPod Classic but don't want to loose the ability to back up - will the camera connector work with the new Classic please? (and has anybody done it?)

Why can't this work with the classic?
another thread states "as the iPod touch doesn't support "disk use" (it doesn't mount as a hard drive on your computer)."
Well, my classic does support disk use so I would like the option to use this. Is it really that hard to have a software update to recognise a piece of software that has presumably been programmed before for previous models

New Ipod Classic syncing problems, restoring problems

Hello,
Just got my 80gb Ipod Classic yesterday, and have had syncing problems, and now Itunes does not recognize it at all.
I'm using the latest version of Itunes (7.6.2.9)
Ipod Firmware 1.1.2 (or whatever the newest is)
Windows XP Pro
I'm a long-time user of a 5g 30gb Ipod and never have had issues like this. I am syncing to the same Itunes library as my old Ipod. Connecting my new Ipod Classic, I updated the firmware, and tried to sync. Halfway through the sync, I got an error. I disconnected the ipod and reset it. I tried syncing again, and again it would hang at some point, had to disconnect, and then it said my ipod had no music, but with 60gb free only. So obviously a database problem on the ipod and some mp3 files that my new ipod classic didn't like (though my old 5g ipod has no problem with this library).
Next, I connected and did a Restore.
I removed the culprit mp3 files from Itunes Library, attempted to sync again. Again, it would freeze at some point during sync. Had to disconnect Ipod while Itunes was frozen. Again, Ipod says has no music but with only about 60gb free.
So Ipod is corrupted again. The problem is when I connect it to my PC, Itunes no longer recognizes it, so I can't do a Restore. What do I do?

Just wanted to post my results, for future users benefit:
Putting my Ipod into Disk Mode, connected to computer, Itunes recognized it, performed a Restore.
Still had syncing/freezing issues.
Decided that my Itunes library database was corrupted. Went into My Documents > My Music, and deleted the Itunes Folder, except for the containing Artwork Folder.
Have been rebuilding my Library from scratch since, and have had no syncing problems yet again.
Only problem is that in the outermost Podcast menu, it is always empty. The only conveninent way to access my Podcasts is to make a playlist and put them all in it.

New computer, new iPod Classic - doesn't sync my purchased tunes

In a perfect storm of technical catastrphies, my desktop PC went belly up, followed by my iPod. When I bought a new PC, the dealer transfered all My Documents, including Music to the new PC. 2 weeks later, my old iPod likewise demised but my wife bought me a new iPod Classic for my birthday. It was easy to sync my iTunes library to the new iPod except I have notice that many tunes are not being synced to iPod. Looks like none of my purchased tunes are being transferred and I get a message informing me something to the effect that this PC wasn't liked to this iPod or somesuch.
Any body know how to get around this?

Hey there,
Before you can transfer of play any songs from iTunes you have authorize your computer first. To do this just head to +Store->Authorize Computer+ and see if that does anything for you. Hope this helps.
