I have a 6th gen ipod classic that will not turn on...

So,
As the title says that is what I have, however, here are more specifics and what I have done so far...
The ipod will not power on. When I try to turn it on, the logo appears, then it seems to power cycle. Now, onto what I have tried thus far...
I have tried the reset using the menu/center button combos several times and it just does the same thing. I have also tried to plug it into my windows 7 pc, and utilizing Itunes "restore" it. I will quickly back up and state that when I plug it in, Itunes will recognize that it is an Ipod, and display a msg saying that an ipod is plugged in that may be corrupted, please restore it. After I click the "restore" button, itunes will start to extract the s/w to restore it, then an error msg pops up and says "unknown error - 1415" - "unknown error - 1439". Now, I will say that when I plug it in and try to restore it, the first time around it gives me the 1439 code. Subsequently, it will give me the 1415 error if I try to repeat the process. I will unplug it and try again, and the same exact pattern occurs, 1439 on first attempt after plugging into itunes, and then 1415 subsequently. I have read several other forums to no avail possible solutions.
At this point, Im feeling like the only option left is to pay a visit to my local apple store. BUT, before I do that I wanted to see if any experts might have a solution for me here! PLEASE HELP! Im using my shuffle right now, but I really want to get this classic running again! I do have screenshots of all my errors and what itunes shows me in case anyone might want that stuff. In any case, I digress...

Thank you Bilbo! I was trying to find the instructions on how to do this, but was unable to locate them until you pointed me to it!
After running the diag, it shows me error...
[Device Opened]
Error
Menu to continue
From the information Ive read on this occurance, my HD is shot? Is this true or likely? What would be recommended as the next step?

I have an iPod touch that will not turn on.

Hello forums! I have an iPod touch that will not turn on. I have tried everything I can to turn it back on, but I just cant find the right thing. I dont know if it is in need of a new digitizer, or the battery is dead, but I would really appreciate some help. It is an iPod touch 3rd generation.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an old ipod classic that will not show up on my mac or itunes?

i purchased an older ipod classic, my cousin bought it for me for my b day. he even put songs on it from his computer for me. it gave him no issues. but my new mac book pro does not recognize it. it does not show up on the computer or on itunes. i don't know what to do! it shows up on all my cousin's computers but mine. i feel like mine must be missing a file that allows my mac to see it. when i connect it to my mac it says the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.

How can I update my iPod classic that will not mount on iMac computer?

I can't update my iPod classic from my iTunes on my iMac computer with OSX 10.9. It will not mount or be recognized by iTunes version 12.1.
I plug it into the USB port and it charges, gives the "Do not disconnect" symbol but the computer does not recognize or mount the iPod at all. I haven't been able to update the music for years. I have four other devices associated with my Apple ID for automatic downloads. Is it too antiquated to upload any of my music from my computer to it anymore?

Ahh! The plot thickens!
I went thru the console and read the error logs. It appears that the .ipsw file does load.....I think. It's been years since I spoke computer....
Here is what I got after double clicking the .ipsw file and iTunes opened:

I have a second generation ipod touch that will not update past version 3.1.3, when i check updates it says it is up to date but im quite sure i should be able to get at least a 4.2 ios update. If someone could please help id really appreciate it!!

I have made sure that my ipod is second generation, and i have tried to resotr it twice to fix the problem. I'm getting a little bit frustrated with it. I went to the apple store in metrotwn and the gentlemen didnt even look at the ipod, just told me that it was maybe to old of a generation to support updates. Funny thing is my boyfriend had it before me and he updated it past 3.1.3 no problem.

I have an 6th gen Ipod that keeps making me restore it. How can I fix this issue

I have a 6th gen ipod that keeps making me restore it. It says there is another application running somewhere else. I just want my sons brand new ipod to work without paying apple another $45.00.

Disable any and all A/V or Security software running on your system before syncing your iPod with iTunes and see if that helps. A simple reboot your or PC may help as well.
If you do disable any security software, make sure to re-enable once you have finished syncing the iPod with iTunes.

6th Gen. iPod Classic has video or not?

I have a 6th Generation iPod Classic and I got it because I thought it has video capability, but when I try to download a video podcast, I get an error message telling me that 30 of the podcasts were "not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPod". The wierd part is that eight of the videos actually downloaded onto my iPod. I know for a fact that there is plenty of space for 2 hours of video on my iPod. What am I doing wrong or is there something I am not aware of?

Some podcasts are encoded so that they are more compatible with newer iOS Devices rather than the older iPod lineup including the iPod Classic.
If possible, try highlighting the podcasts and choosing Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone version in iTunes. Then try syncing the newly converted podcasts over to your iPod.

You have 2 options: #1 - iPod Repair Tutorials
#2 - take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

I have a 2nd gen. ipod shuffle that I want to load music onto, but only have the shuffle. can i get software for it?

Hi, my son has a second generation shuffle (the first type of aluminium clip-on one) and the current version of iTunes "talks" to it just fine. iTunes is a free download from Apple. That's all the software you need.

I have a 6th gen iPod Nano, how do I create a podcast playlist?

Hi,
I have a 6th gen iPod Nano, I would like my ipod to play all unplayed podcasts continously. For instance, once I have played all of the Nerdist podcasts, it automatically starts playing all unplayed Radio Lab podcasts I have loaded.
How do I set this? Can I create a podcast playlist?
Thank you for your help!
