I have been using ipod classic. Recently i restored my i pod. Since then i am encountering different kind of problems like i have not been able to store songs as data. Everytime i tunes doesnt recognize my i pod.

Please help!

Storing songs as data?
If you mean putting the iPod into disk mode and using it as a external Hardisk, here is the Apple support article.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
You can then use the iPod as a portable disk to store your data files.
Of course, these "data" songs files wont play in normal mode iPod as music player.
If you want iTunes to recognise your iPod, what version of iTunes are you using?
Have a nice day!

  • Used Ipod Classic issue...

    Hello all,
    I was wondering if anyone could help me out here...
    I purchased a used Ipod classic yesterday from a pawn shop (first time I have ever done this).
    Ipod seems to be working fine when listening to headphones with the music(as undesireable as it may be) already on there.
    Now, when I try to connect to my pc and try to add/delete music to it I keep getting an error that reads "Attempting to copy to the disk -69 error occurred".
    There is plenty of space available (13.3GB) on the ipod, I have I tunes set to manage music manually(not syncing)
    I purchased this ipod for my teenage daughter as a quick fix because her other ipod is full and she does not want to delete any music off of it because she says she listens to all of it.
    i would appreciate any help I can get.
    Thanks.

    I wasn't ever concerned about physical harm to myself, but I can assure you I did indeed FEEL the shocks. They were jarring and too substantive to continue working out under the conditions. I was also concerned about short-circuiting the iPod, but it sounds like that shouldn't be an issue, correct?
    Ears are sensitive... you're really going to feel AND hear a static shock!
    Electronic components are very sensitive to static charges and I can't speak to Apple's design. But, +in my opinion+, a static charge would pass through the protective shielding of the metal case back and not harm the electronics inside.

    Regarding "rubbing the device on your polyester shirt while exercising & listening to music" the device rested in a cubby near the control panel of the treadmill. I'm far from an expert in the realm of static electricity, but I have to assume the entire treadmill builds a charge while in motion. I just didn't expect the charge to be released into my ears!
    Yes. The sliding rubber belt of the treadmill is the source of the build-up of charge in your body. The iPod is resting elsewhere putting it at a different "potential" than your body. The *difference in potential* (a.k.a. voltage) meets inside your ear between your skin and the earbud whenever the charge builds up to a level great enough to break-down the resistance of the air gap.

    Again, I'll play around with some variables and hopefully build this thread into something worthwhile for anyone else experiencing similar problems.
    Try wearing, or better yet, holding your iPod... it should keep it at an equal potential to your body thereby eliminating the discharge through your ears.
    NOTES: Voltage is also referred to as "Potential Difference"

  • Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognice it when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or itunes?

    Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognise the device when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or current version of itunes?

    It should still be compatible.  Have you tried plugging it into a different USB port using a different cable to see if that helps?  Perhaps, try it another computer as well to see if it's recognized there.
    Otherwise, start by checking to see if it's even recognized in Device Manager.  See this article for details.

  • The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I have!

    The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I just got!

    First off, I would STRONGLY suggest that a external hard drive would make you life much easier by at least being able to back up your songs on the external drive for when you need them. Even if you don't want them in the iTunes library, you can have them all ready on the external to be re-added as needed. You can get 100's of gigs for under $100 shipped.
    Anyway, since you used Yamipod, are all the songs back on the computer? If so, I would go ahead and restore the iPod, let iTunes then resync everything back to the iPod, then switch it back to manual and see if the restore and resync clears up the issue.

  • Used ipod classic won't download music?

    I bought a used ipod classic and whenever i try to download a song i bought on my touch to my classic it won't.

    How are you trying to put the song onto the Classic?
    You cannot transfer it directly from the Touch to the Classic
    You cannot download anything from the iTunes Store directly onto the Classic.
    You put songs onto the Classic via the iTunes programme on your computer.

    Recently I have not been able to purchase songs from my iTunes on my phone, but can purchase apps with no issue.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    If this is an Alienware system, the most likely culprit is the Bigfoot Networks LSP as per the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    Head to the Downloads and Drivers page at Dell for your particular model of Alienware. Look for available updates for your BigFoot networking device. If you update those drivers, does that give you back your Store access?

  • Restoring a used Ipod Classic 80gb I bought

    Hello,
    I bought a used Ipod Classic 80gb after my Ipod 30gb 5th generation was stolen.
    In order to use this "new" ipod I had to download a newer Itunes version and do some changes. This Ipod I bought (that's 100% authentic) needs to be restored to a windows formatted version, when I hit RESTORE. It says it has to download something and afterwards it says the connection time expired and that I need to check my network properties. They seem to be working ok!!!!!.....at least the Ipod is being recognized by the computer at last but HOW CAN I RESTORE IT!?!?! WHAT IS HAPPENING!!??!?
    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    *Hay man That same problem happened to me when I wanted to update to 1.1.2. I kept trying but download doesn't complete. I went to a friend's house with a higher bandwidth and installed the iTunse and it worked fine. Maybe it was just my connection or something else. Try it. It might help. ;)*

    thank you,

    To give you something, I need something too, like
    How old is the Ipod? (if it is still under warranty, then send it to Apple service shop)
    Are you running Windows iTunes or Mac iTunes?
    What do you see on the iPod screen?
    My guess is, your iPod classic is more than 2 years old and out of warranty, and the hardisk has gone kaput! and need to be replaced.
    Have a nice day!
