I keep having to restore my ipod classic to sync music
Hey everybody, I have this annoying problem with my iPod classic that won't go away - for over a month now my music keeps disappearing from my iPod when I disconnect it from my computer, but my hard drive is not wiped out, so the music is still there it just won't show up on the iPod when disconnected. I have to keep restoring the iPod to factory settings in order for it to go away, but it keeps happening every other day or so. Its not an iTunes problem that's for sure, because I stopped using iTunes thinking it was the source of the problem but surely now I know it's my iPod. iTunes displays "*iTunes cannot read the contents of this iPod*" etc.
I tried asking around, but never got an answer. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Same problem: since 2 days my iPod cannot be syncronized.
Itunes indicates "error 1601" and then is unable to restore the iPod.
In the Apple support page, no solution is given (a part from uninstall and re-install iTunes, which I did and had any good result) and the page appears to be NOT updated since 2008.
Does this have something to do with the last update for iTunes that I just made?
Any clue of any solution for this ?
thank you

How can I fix this problem of finding the music that was lost since I restored my ipod classic. I still have some albums but some music is missing,
Hello lg3hree
Check out the first article to look on your computer for the music files themselves. If you had purchased anything from iTunes, you can just download the tracks from the iTunes store.

Hi there
I've an iPod Classic that is only synching 26 out of 41 music items in my playlist. I plugged in my Nano and it synchs all 41 music item fine.
I reset my Classic but still no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks
friendlI have reviewed numerouse forums and have tried many suggestion but still can't get my classic 80 G ipod to sync music. Everything was deleted from my ipod after synching it to my library. I only had a few podcast that needed updating. I am not sure why the ipod had the items deleted in the first place. I linked the ipod to itunes and was told I needed to reset the ipod. I reset it, loaded the newest software and still could not get the ipod to synch. I have 4335 songs and podcast total. The ipod would sync to 3775 and just stop. I have deleted itunes reinstalled. Reformatted the ipod. Reset the ipod. I have followed all suggestion and still can't get the ipod to update. Even after the ipod appears to be updated when it locks up and I disconnect it the songs do not show. Any suggestions would be so appreciated.

Tried to restore my ipod classic on a windows computer... there was some sort of failure and it is now stuck in "disk mode." The ipod is no longer being recognized by itunes.
I am having the exact same problem. My ipod has been stuck in disk mode for over two hours and now itunes is frozen.

I have restored my iPod classic and everything has been wiped off, now when I connect it to the laptop, iTunes doesn't recognise it and windows won't format it, an error message comes up "unable to format". Can someone please help me sort this problem, it's so frustrating!!!!!!
It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Hi i'm trying to restore my iPod classic and it says that the iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1434) what can i do to fix this? Thanks
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

Thanks fiend,
I don't have access to a Mac. This ipod (bought 2nd hand) is my first apple product & came with some music on, but I can't add any, till I reformat to use in Windows. Was hoping not to lose existing music but ..... Thanks for helping a novice. -
Has anyone else received error 1434 when restoring their iPod classic.
I can't seem to restore my iPod classic. I get the above error message...a little help?
It doesn't contain your exact erorr number, but perhaps something here will help.
iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
Be sure to carefully work through each every suggestion. Also, make sure you are plugging the iPod into a high powered USB port on the Mac itself and not through a USB hub.

HT1339 how to restore an ipod classic with error 1415
how to restore an ipod classic with error 1415 latest operating system
Hey there beaver17
How are you?
Well, I have an iPod Classic, it gave me the error -1436 error and would not restore on iTunes.
I did the following:
My Boss (@work) has a fairly old iBook but it has OS-X, so I decided to give it a try and connected my iPod to it.
The system showed a window telling me that the disk is not MAC formated and needs to be validated prior further action. Snce it is a Mac product, I thought "yeah, go ahead".
It then opens the disk manager utility for the Mac and showed the disk. It's window has some tabs, one is to verify the disk, so I verified it. Guess what, it had some invalid clusters.
Then I formatted the iPod to OS-X Plus file system (next tab to the right). After formating the iPod, I "ejected" the iPod and reconnected to my PC. The Windows iTunes found an iPod with Mac file system and asked me to restore it. As I clicked on the "restore" button, I crossed my fingers as this was the last resource I have.
Finally, after the file extraction was done, it began to restore the iPod!!
I'm so happy about being able to restore the iPod that I decided to share with all you guys this solution as it is the most usefull, in my opinion.
Hope you can find someone with an iBook or a desktop Mac, so you can fix yours.
If it works for you, make sure to share the tip!!
Kind regards

HT1339 how to restore my iPod classic

Please be advice how to makes this work..my ipod is to big to carry my iphone need wifi to be the music but the small ipod is handy to bring inside my work place.
thank you mariquitHello Mariquit,
It sounds like you would like to restore your iPod classic to factory settings. I recommend the following steps:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.

I am constantly having to restore my Ipod Touch 32g 4th Gen. This is the 7th time in about 5 months.
If you have only restored from backup in the past, try resoring to factory defaults/new iPod since there may be some corruption that is causing the problem and corruption is in the backup.
If you still have a problem after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod the you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is n order.
