I just purchased a 120gb iPod classic 6th generation from a friend. I have the latest iTunes installed and the software on the iPod is also current. My problem is whenever I'm syncing the iPod and iTunes freezes between the 250- 300th song... I have to manually reset the iPod for the iTunes to run correctly, but then my music isn't added and iTunes tells me I have to restore the iPod... I've done this numerous times only to no avail... Someone please help!!!

Here is what worked for me:
  My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • I have an ipod classic 6th generation which has a 160gb MK1626GCB HDD in it. This drive has failed so I bought a new one. I don't know how I've managed it but I've ended up with a 160gb MK1634GAL. Can I just get a different ribbon so it fits?

    Hello I hope somebody can help. I have an ipod classic 6th generation which has a 160gb MK1626GCB HDD in it. This drive has failed so I bought a new one. I don't know how I've managed it but I've ended up with a 160gb MK1634GAL. The connectors on the hdds are different on the hdd end but look the same on the mb end. Can I just get a different ribbon so it fits? Ive looked for one and have found a couple of different ones and the seem to be specific to the ipod although I cannot find one specific for the 160g. Can anyone shed some light onto this?

  • IPod Classic 6th Generation Sound Quality

    So I'm looking to buy the iPod Classic 6th Generation (80gb) because it's cheaper than the 7th Generation. But after some internet research, people are saying the sound quality is really bad. Is there any way to upgrade the sound quality, and just make it better?

    iPod Classic doesn't have any wireless built-in, so you would need a wireless microphone system plugged into the iPod output (and which is the size of 2 iPod Classic) and a wireless receiver. so it won't be very comfy to "walk around home, and this stuff start around 100$, so you'd be better off with an iPod Touch, although it has less storage.

  • Ipod classic 6th generation 160gb

    I have just bought a second hand ipod classic 6th generation 160gb, I synced it with my itunes and all seemed well, the library on the ipod shows fine when connected, however when I disconnect it, he ipod is empty.

    Hey philip288
    Try syncing a different way, like enabling Manually manage music and videos. Then you can drag and drop the music that you want on it. Also try and restore your iPod Classic if that does not work either.

  • IPod Classic 6th Generation wireless streaming to speakers?

    I have an iPod Classic 6th Generation 160 GB and I loaded lots and lots of music. Ideally what I want is to stream music from my iPod wirelessly to speakers so that I can walk around at home and have my iPod in my pocket and change tracks, kinda like a remote control. Is there any way that this can be done?

    iPod Classic doesn't have any wireless built-in, so you would need a wireless microphone system plugged into the iPod output (and which is the size of 2 iPod Classic) and a wireless receiver. so it won't be very comfy to "walk around home, and this stuff start around 100$, so you'd be better off with an iPod Touch, although it has less storage.

  • IPod classic 6th generation no sound

    I have an iPod Classic 6th generation 80gb that worked fine until a week ago. It randomly stopped working. The iPod works perfectly but there is no audio. I've tried everything.
    do you have any idea what to do?

  • IPod Classic (6th Generation) 80GB syncing problems

    Hello,
    I have been encountering this problem for a couple of months with my iPod Classic. I have researched every possible fix, and I haven't been lucky enough to find a fix. When I connect my iPod to my computer sometimes, it'll just freeze everything up and I have to manually restart my computer. Other times I try to put songs onto my computer and it'll add a few then freeze and I have to restore my iPod. My problem is that it wont add songs and it keeps freezing. I have tried reformatting, putting the USB in different ports, last night I let it sit overnight to try to sing and let it work itself out. It seemed like it synced all the songs but as soon as I disconnected the iPod it restored itself and had factory settings with no songs on it. I have wasted a lot of time with this iPod in hopes of trying to fix this. But I refuse to pay Apple their crazy repair prices for something that isn't my fault. If I could please get a fix for this, cause I know A LOT of people are having the very same problem with their iPod's.

  • Building a 240gb IPOD classic 6th generation???

    I have been doing a lot of research and I haven't found an exact answer to my question. Right now I have a 6th generation 80GB ipod classic. I have run out of storage and I really need 240GB. I bought a rebuilt 240GB 7th generation Ipod from ebay a few days ago for ($274), I received it and I dont like the fit and finish of it. It looks like the wheel and faceplate are aftermarket replacements so it does not sit flush against the rear case and neither does the wheel to faceplate, there is an excessive gap around the circumference of the wheel and the faceplate, and the screen flickers at times, so I am going to return it. I primarily use my ipod for mountain biking and cycling so it gets exposed to sweat and rain. My 80GB has never failed under these conditions for 5+years, and I think this ebay version will fail very quickly.
    I would like to know what are all the parts needed to make a 240GB hard drive work in my 6th generation ipod classic. I know if I install a 240GB hard drive in my 6th generation ipod it will only read 128GB. So can I replace the logic board in my ipod with a 7th generation ipod? I can find the 7th generation logic boards for ($60+) on ebay, then buy the 240gb hard drive ($86) and 6th generation (thick)160GB rear cover ($10) new 850mAh battery ($10). That would be a $166 upgrade..... Is that all I would need? Would the logic board be a direct swap, or would I need a different connector, screen, etc? I would prefer to just modify my 6th generation ipod since I know it works and it seems like it could be the cheapest way, and I don't need two ipods so I feel like it would be a waste to buy another one.
    My other option is to buy a new 160GB 7th generation ipod classic ($230), and buy the 240gb hard drive ($86) and 6th generation (thick)160GB rear cover ($10). That would put me around $326....
    I would prefer not to take another gamble and buying another ipod off of ebay, so I would like to keep it to these two options.....  If buying a 7th generation is the only way, could I then put the 160gb hard drive in my 6th generation? Would it still only read 128gb max? Would the hard drive be the only thing I would need to swap? From what I read it appears all the thin (6th and 7th) ipod classics used the same hard drive connector. To make the 160gb hard drive work, would I again need a 7th generation logic board?
    Do I need a new headphone jack? Ive heard that it may need to be replaced but I dont remember for what ipod versions. Does this apply to my thin 6th generation, or the thin 7th, or neither?
    Could someone please give me a complete parts list for making a 240gb 6th generation AND a 240gb 7th generation. Thanks!

    You obviously know A LOT about this already.  I hear the "iPod classic" is known to be VERY difficult to pry open.  If your current iPod classic is working well, do you REALLY need more than 80GB of music when you go mountain biking.  If you replaced it with a new iPod classic, do you really need more than 160GB of music. 
    I have a smart playlist, where I start out with ALL of my music, but exclude things I don't usually want on my iPod, such as Holiday Music, Classical Music, Soundtrack Music, etc.  For my smaller capacity flash-based iPod, I have a smart playlist that starts with ALL of my music, then randomly selects a subset of songs that fits below the capacity limit of that iPod.  In both cases, I manage my iTunes library to fit the iPod, instead of making expensive and potentially damaging upgrades to my iPod to fit my iTunes library.
    I understand that some folks just like doing these upgrades for the sake of doing the upgrade, and I can certainly understand that...
    Here's another high-cool-factor approach.  Replace the hard drive with a standard Compact Flash card (Type II) on an adapter.  For example
    http://www.amazon.com/Komputerbay-128GB-Professional-Compact-Extreme/dp/B008O7N0 W6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
    (There is one customer review of it being used in an iPod.)
    It's expensive, but less than any of your total upgrade costs.  I have a much older 4th gen iPod with a Compact Flash card on an adapter, and here are the benefits I see.  It's significantly lighter than the same iPod with a hard drive, especially if it has a double-platter "thick" hard drive.  You can keep your iPod's sleek "thin" profile.  It uses less battery power, because no moving parts.  It is more shock resistant for the same reason, which I'm sure is an advantage for mountain biking.  There is no "hard drive spin-up" delay; songs always start playing instantly (and no faint hum and vibration when the hard drive is spinning).  I did not do any timing test, but I think it syncs faster.

    Wipe it clean and restore it. You should then be able to rename the iPod and set up an account with iTunes. I hope this helps!

  • Sync'ing a used ipod classic 6th generation to my pc..

    Can't get my music video's to sync over.  I have the box checked to automatically have it come over.
    I had a first generation iPod that died and bought this one on eBay.

    So you have the Include Music Videos option enabled from under the iPod's Music configuration tab in iTunes?  Where are you looking for the Music Videos at on your iPod?  You can view them from under Music or Videos.  When under Music, it will only play the audio whereas when you play it from under the Videos -> Music Videos it should play the video as well.

  • Can I still buy a new iPod nano 6th generation from Apple Store?

    I like 6th gen. really much and would like to buy a spare one!!

    If it's from a local Apple Store, you would have to call them and ask.  If it's from Apple's online store, you only can from the refurbished section. Otherwise, you'll have to look on other retailer's websites to find and order them.

  • I just purchased a like-new Time Capsule, Generation 1. Anyone still have one that is still going strong?

    New to the community.  I decided to replace my Netgear router with a TC.  I found an original G1 on Amazon in like-new condition for an outstanding price.  It is the 500GB model and has had the Apple power supply replacement done.  My question is does anyone have one they are still using from the original G1?  If so, any problems or issues?  I have read some horror stories but have also read positive ones too.
    I will be running my MacBook Pro, 2 PC's, 1 iPad, 1 iPod, & 4 iPhones on the TC.  My understanding is that I can manually backup the PC's.  Thanks for your help.

    The power supply  in the refurbished one is still prone to failure, due to the very high internal temperatures. If you have some warranty wait that out, and as soon as that is finished, open the TC and turn on the fan. Leave the rubber mat off and stand the TC on feet. Alternatively use an external power supply. They will last a long time but only with some effort made to keep it cooler.
    The 2.4ghz will not use 40mhz dual channel so they are restricted to 150mbit connection. And since it is not dual band simultaneous you do not have access to high speed since you must run it on 2.4ghz to run things like iphone and ipad as they do not work on 5ghz band. You would have done better buying the next model.
    If you have a wireless router now, keep using that in G or N wireless at 2.4ghz and use the TC in bridge and run it at 5ghz.
    You can indeed manually backup your PC's. You can also plonk a 2TB drive into the TC. Once you do the above to keep it cool.
