I have an ipod classic 120gb. Its not getting recognized by itunes.

I have an ipod classic 120gb. Its not getting recognized by itunes and i am unable to format it even though it says i must if i want it to appear on itunes. It does'nt work on any computer so its not the usb. ive reset it a few times but no luck. Any ideas?
Here is some of the info i got, im not sure however what they represent.
Retracts: 534
Reallocs: 216
Pending Sector: 62
PowerOn: 1253
Smart/Stop: 469
Temp:Current 27c
Temp:Min 5c
Temp:Max 56c

If Windows or Mac can recognise it, then reformat it using a Hardisk Partition tool, if not, it is time to replace the Hardisk.
The High Pending Number, indicates some bad cluster, which Hardisk firmware can't reallocate or remapped. This maybe due to, leaving the iPod in a Hot environment, damaging the Hardisk.

    If not successful try the remaining items of:
    - 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 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.

  • IPod Classic 120GB is not recognized by computer even after hard reset

    I have an iPod Classic and it recently would act like it was playing music but was not in reality. I ended up having to hard reset the iPod. Now that it has been reset it will not sync with my computer. I hook it up and the screen reads +do not disconnect+ my iTunes will not recognize that there is an iPod connected and when I open My Computer it often freezes or tells me that I need to reformat the iPod for it to be recoginzed by Windows. I do not have the option to format it to FAT 32 though. What do I do??

    This is my iPOD
    iPod (touch wheel)
    All iPod (touch wheel) models have a FireWire port cover. Scroll wheel models don't, and dock connector models don't have a FireWire port. The iPod (touch wheel) model controls look similar to the iPod (scroll wheel) but the touch wheel itself does not turn. iPod (touch wheel) models are considered second generation iPod models. The top of an iPod (touch wheel) model is shown here:
    I went into the link and looked at the 5 R's. Nothing there. I couldn't restore the iPod if I wanted considering I would need to connect my iPod to the Computer which I cannot do.
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode - did not work - I tried the click wheel instructions, but it did nothing at all....it was totally unresponsive. then I went and did the *If you have an older iPod model without a Click Wheel* instructions get to the fourth step where it says
    *When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.*
    but the Disk Mode screen does not appear. It goes straight to ""ok to disconnect"
    Is there something else going on or something trivial that I could be doing that could be messing up these instructions?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen        
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • I am using Tiger, 10.4.11, and have an iPod classic 120gb working fine.  Just got a 160gb classic and would like to sync it to same i-Tunes file.  It said "must have iTunes 9.0 or later to sync."  If upgrade i-Tunes to 9.0.2, will my 120gb iPod sync o.k?

    I am using Tiger, 10.4.11 and have an iPod classic 120 gb working fine with about 7 gb of music on it.  I just got another iPod classic 160 gb for my wife, and would like to sync it to the same iTunes file, but I got a message which says I must upgrade to iTunes 9.0 or later.  If I upgrade to 9.0, will my 120 gb iPod be o.k. with that?  Rumor:  I have heard that iTunes 9.0 or later changes the format of the music.

    Thanks to all for reviewing my question.  I am trying to avoid a possible disaster here, having to load about 90 cd's all over again.  If anyone knows, could you tell me what will happen if I download iTunes 9.0, and install it.  Will it copy all of my music into it, or fail to recognize it, or recognize 8.0 and just upgrade rather than replace it?  Thanks again.  Tom

  • HT1363 i have an ipod classic 120gb. it has a white screen although i can hear the sound of the click wheel and even songs would play.but once dicharged ,my computer cannot recognize it please help

    I bought an ipod classic 120gb in 2008. once by mistake it went in along with laundry in washing machine. I kept it under the sun to let it dry and tried to start it but it wouldn't.I kept it for charging and it started normally.after around 1 month when it got fully discharged i again kept it for chargin but it showed white screen.Although i could hear the sound of clickwheel and songs too but the screen remained white..Some suggested to replace the screen. Please help

    It's likely that the moisture fried some of the internal components of the device. You'll need to take or send your iPod in for service/repair.  Apple will do an out of warranty exchange versus actually repairing the device as a third party service would do.
    Here is pricing for iPod repairs from Apple.

    Hi,
    As soon as the devices connected to your network the printer should appear as AirPrint.
    You may ensure it is connected by clicking the wireless icon on the printer screen to locate its IP, then type the IP into Safari and check if you can access the printer homepage from your iPad.
    If the printer conncted but still not being detected as AirPrint, ensure you have the latest firmware for your printer:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03312867&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &product=5271613&tmp_track_link=ot_search
    If the printer still not being dedected I would rather suspect the network as AirPrint uses Apple Bonjour and therefore require your network to support multicasting to operate..
    You may test it by temporary setting direct connection using Wireless Direct, if the printer being detected without using the router please clarify your router brand and model to better understand your router capabiities.
    The steps to enable Wireless Direct can be found listed below:

  • My nano ipod 7 gen will not be recognized by itunes but my classic ipod syncs just fine

    my nano ipod 7 generation will not sync or be recognized.  it says it detects an ipod but cannot be recognized.  i have an ipod classic that syncs just fine.  why will my nano not be recognized?  it is a new computer and i have done everything it has asked in the help section.  nothing works?

    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  It does not appear there, when you connect the nano?
    If not...
    it says it detects an ipod
    Where does it say the iPod is detected?
