I Pod classic 160 gb Battery Problem

Right my problem is that my battery went low with the message 'connect to power' so i connected it to a usb power adapter,it says it's charging and the menu comes and u can play music when its connected,ive had it on charge on the usb power adapter for hours but as soon as i disconnect it,the screen goes blank and it wont turn on at all.If i connect it to a computer it comes up with 'charging please wait' but it stays like that for hours! What exactly is wrong here?

Possible a failed battery.
Maybe this page has some useful information for you...

I POD CLASSIC 160 GB

My i pod classic 160 GB will turn itself off mid-song ???? Help

Are you locking your iPod when playing (moving the slider on the top of the device to the right). If you do not lock the iPod, it is possible that you are simply pressing buttons accidentally (if you are carrying the iPod in your pocket, for instance) causing the iPod to stop playing.
If you are definitely locking the iPod, you should first try resetting the iPod (the equivalent of rebooting). Hold down the Menu and center buttons together for about 10 seconds. You will see the Apple logo appear for a little while, then the main menu will appear. This will not wipe your iPod.
If the iPod is still exhibiting this behavior, then restoring would be your next step.

Hello, I would like to buy an I Pod Classic 160 GB and have heard that the volume limit in Europe has been reduced from the factory. Are the devices in the U.S.A also affected?

No, they are not. But getting round this is not that simple.
Until recently, the European Volume Limit that you're referring to affected iPods sold within the EU (European Union countries), so one purchased in the US would not be affected by this. Nor, in theory, would an iPod purchased in Norway or Russia, since neither of them are in the EU.
However, iPod Classics now sold within the UK (where I live) now appear to have an option to disable the EU Volume Limit. I would assume therefore, that this option is available on an iPod Classic bought anywhere within the EU. The firmware on an iPod Classic that can turn off the EU volume Limit is 2.0.5.
iPod Classics running earlier versions of the firmware (including 2.0.4) cannot be upgraded. I have personally seen one with 2.0.5 Mac on it in an Apple Store and the EU limit could be turned off. Check the picture from Badgorr in this thread New Option to turn off EU Volume Cap? (It's towards the bottom of the page.) However, non-Apple stores may still have older stock, so be aware of this when you go shopping.
Experience tells me that buying an iPod from outside the European Union area is not that simple and you are unlikely to manage it. Apple will not ship goods to another country. So either you travel to the US to buy one from a shop (that's a bit extravagant) or you persuade someone else to buy one and send it to you. However, not only will you have the cost of shipping, but in either case, your country's tax department will almost certainly add tax to it when it comes into the country. The service delivering it will apply the tax and charge you for doing so as well or you get charged by the customs department at the airport.

Pod classic 160 appears on desktop but not in iTunes

My new iPod Classic 160 appears on my desktop but not in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes installed (and reinstalled (twice)). When I first launch iTunes I get the warning that my iPod is using (old) usb 1 port to connect to my G4 (my beloved G4). This is correct, it is, I can live with slow sync. Anyway, I want to restore my iPod but iTunes freezes (crashes) after giving me his error message:
'The iPod "Mark Carter's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-1302).'
Then I have to force quit iTunes,etc.
Also, I was listening t music on iPod but then it just seemed to disappear? Can still see albums/songs/artwork etc. but won't play track just skips through them.

IPod Classic (160 gb) Serious problem, need help!

a day ago, i was playing some music (with iPod speakers), after an hour of playing i connected my ipod to headphones and resumed playng, but my ipod started "lagging" like when i pressed music it took 1 min to enter Music menu. after 15 minutes it returned to normal, and after playing some music for 30 minutes it just froze.
i was not at home so i had no computer to restore it with itunes, so i tried to reset it, when i reseted it ipod logo appeared and nothing more happened. i tried to reset it again but again, i got stuck on apple logo. i decided to let it rest for a while and i wanted battery to die and charge it back up. after an hour it started reseting itself it went on and off again but nothing more than apple logo appeared. every 15 minutes or so it did that. when battery died i recharged it but i couldnt get past apple logo.
i restored my ipod with itunes today. it gave ema an error 1453 (or sth like that) but first when i connected ipod my computer didnt recognize it. i put my ipod into disk mode and then itunes started recognising it. i restored it it kind of started normally sycnronised songs but when i disconected it, bang apple logo appeared. i tried restoring it again but the problem didnt go away. i tried scanning my ipod for viruses. (i have a good anti-virus) so after 40% of scanning was done it gave me an eror that there was no disc. and the scan button never appeared on ipod again after that...
so can anyone help me?
or am i doomed? oh and by the way i bought my ipod 1 year ago and i had dropped it only once throughout the whole year (it was 5 months ago) and nothing happened to it.

I've had that problem before, reboot your pod. hold down the center button and the menu button at the same time till you see the apple logo. That should clear it up.

Everything about the IPOD Classic 160 GB Battery

Dear All,
Just want to know how the battery is connected and placed inside the ipod classic 160GB model, can it be replaced by a user without using a soldering iron.Is it attached with a adhesive ?
Kindly discuss.
Thanks

With the new ipods, the issue isn't the battery connection so much as it is the shell itself. It is now extremely difficult to open the ipod, as they have metal catches around the inside of the case. From what I have read, the battery and HD are still user changable, IF you can get in without damaging the outer shell, which is much easier to do with the new design. This is also why most of the online battery replacement companies are still not showing as being able to change out the HD/battery on the classics.

IPod Classica 160 GB - Syncing Problem

This issue just started yesterday! I went to sync my IPod and I kept getting this error code 50 Unknown error occurred. I tried resetting my IPod, making sure I had the latest version of ITunes, and restored it to factory settings lastly!!
It did copy only 532 songs of my 6678 song (34.4 GB)library into my IPod. My husband's IPod is an 80GB and it synced just fine with no problem. Can someone tell me what to do here? I am so lost w/o my IPod with my workout music....HELP!!

Book on CD to I-Pod , what length of time will the I-Pod classic 160 gig hold aprox ?

so we're thinking about loosing the required storage space for book on CD purchases and converting them to I-pad . I have no idea what 160 GB of space equates to hours of storage … most titles are +/- 6 hrs listening time some are 14 hrs or more … so what is aprox. time available in 160 gig ??
sorry fairly new to this stuff

My 160GB Pod currently has 118GB of music in various formats and bit rates. That music will play for 58 days.
Even without knowing what Bit Rate you are using (the higher the Bit Rate, the more space each minute of audio uses for storage), is approximately 58 days enough storage time for you?

I pod Classic gives no response to i tunes. Done formatting, resetting etc.

My i pod classic 160 GB has stopped functioning all of a sudden. I tried resetting, formatting and even re installed i tunes but no use. The device seems all fine but i tunes is not able to detect it.i tunes doesn't give any response if i when i try to connect the i pod.
Otherwise the i tunes seems to be working fine.
This what I got when i ran the diagnostics check for Hard Drive:
Retracts: 3
Reallocs: 944
Pending Sectors: 128
Power on Hours: 55
Start/Stops: 13095
Temp Current: 33c
Temp Min: 14c
Temp max:56 c
Can anypne please help me how to get out of this issue?
Since I have formatted the drive,I have no songs and I donot want to buy a new one.
Thanks

I am having the same problem! Ever since the last 2 or 3 newer versions of iTunes updates!
Ugh!

IPod classic displays 'No music' after sync, HDD problem? Geschiedenis • Verwijder So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn't find any files on the iPod anymore. H

So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn’t find any files on the iPod anymore. However when you look in the settings it displays that ~roughly 90 GB free space is available. Seen the fact that I had about 60 gigs of music this doesn’t seem like a coincidence and I think my music is still somewhere on the ipod but the HDD isn’t recognizing it anymore.
I’ve tried resetting it, and resetting it to factory settings, which didn’t work. When connected to a desktop it won’t be recognized by iTunes, it displays an error message that the iPod cannot be read and that I have to reset it to factory settings.
I’ve spent some time researching this problem yesterday and I ran into a myriad of vaguely similar problems didn’t really offer any help. Currently I’m thinking that formatting the iPod might work, and restoring the software afterwards. However this is a rather bold strategy so I’d like to consult you here first.
Thanks in advance!

Hi turingtest2,
Thank you for the info, with formatting my iPod I managed to connect it to iTunes again.
However..in the page you linked to there is a section about how transferring large amounts of data can dump your library. That seems to be the problem in this case. It won't even allow me to transfer more than 2 gigabytes of music per sync, if I go higher it will dump everything again. Having over >60 GB of music in my library, this is disastrous to say the least.
Do you think that there is any other solution besides the method you mentioned involving Smart Playlists?

I pod classic battery dies (2n ipod classic that i've had to do this) and won't hold a charge. 1 month out of warranty. How do you get a company to make better products or have better warrantys?

Second time this has happened to an ipod classic that i bought (the last one I bought 14 months ago and it is out of apples warranty.) Battery won't hold a charge or even register when pluged into anything (wall charger, USB, mac book, etc.)
Apple is refusing to do anything except charge me $60 for a refurbished battery (let me remind you that I gave them $370 14 months ago for a brand-new (not refurbished) i pod classic.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this battery issue? The obvious answer is for apple to make a better product (2 ipod classics, 2 ipod classic battery die outs. the most recent purchase in a shocking 14months ago.) Better products or more realistic and forgiving warrantly policys.) I am NOT going to pay for the $60 swap out as Apple has taken enough money from this sucker (will never purchase another shoddy apple product again.)
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Shame on me for giving my $ to apple. THEY ARE A FAD COMPANY WHOSE PRODUCTS ARE PART OF A CULTURAL FAD---nothing real is in there (well SOMETHING was real and working for 14months.)

I feel your angst, especially, knowing that Apple has become the most profitable company in the world, by selling us products that breaks down when the warranty run out, and crap service staff, who doesn't know anything about the iPod Classic, except offer to sell us refurbished iPod classic.
You can get the Battery replaced at 3rd Party store for less.
BTW, (most contributors might not agree with me) if you recharged your iPod everyday, it will be dead just 2 months after the warranty expires. My logic, the iPod battery will last for about 400 recharge cycles according to Apple Specs listed below
Charge Cycles
A properly maintained iPod battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 400 full charge and discharge cycles
So if your lifestyle is plugin in to car Audio dock, while driving, and plug in to home stereo while home, then it is 2-3 charge cycles per day.
But then you cant do anything about it, just switch to another media player.

SYNCHING PROBLEMS WITH I POD CLASSIC

SINCE UPGRADING TO MAVERICKS MY I POD CLASSIC WILL NOT SYNCH WHEN I CONNECT TO I TUNES...ALSO WHEN MY I POD IS CONNECTED AND I'M PLAYING MUSIC FROM IT, IT WILL CRASH ONCE IN A WHILE...MY I PHOTO ALSO CRASHES ONCE IN A WHILE....NEVER HAD THESE PROBLEMS WITH MOUNTAIN LION.. ANY ANSWERS OUT THERE?????

Not sure what you just wrote.
You can use your iPod on any computer.
When you connect it to iTunes for the 1st time on a computer, it will ask if you want to link the iPod to this library. If you say yes, it will simply Automatically update everything when connected to this computer.
You don't need to delete anything from another computer.

Ipod Classic 160 6th g. doesn't sync w/Imac g5 non intel OS 10.4.11. This is a replacement for same ipod which was stolen recently. That pod worked fine with Itunes 9! Now this pod says it only works with Itunes 10.7. ***!!!! Why has Apple screwed up?

My ipod classic 160 6th gen. was recently stolen. It had 3000 tunes on it and it synced perfectly with Itunes 9 on my Imac G5 non intel OS 10.4.11. So I recently bought same model and guess what, it doesn't sync at all. Now message says it only works with Itunes 10.7 and up. I certainly cant afford to buy a new intel based Mac and I really dont need a new pc. It feels like Apple has dropped the ball on its long time users and tough luck to you and all the $$$$$$$ spent on downloading songs and buying ipods over the years! I AM SO ANGRY THAT I CANNOT BRING MY MUSIC WITH ME ANYMORE. I dont know if there is any solution to this except being extorted to upgrade to new tech! I have been trying to get answers to this issue but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a tech genius so extremely techy solutions will be in vane.

one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?

Problems in compatibility of iPod radio remote with iPod classic 160 GB

Hi all,
I have just bought a iPod classic 160 GB and want to buy a iPod radio remote as well. However, after I have done my research, I find the radio remote is not compatible with iPod classic perfectly…
Do you think it is a good idea for me to wait a new radio remote (maybe) or later Apple will release update?
Thanks

I use my Radio Remote with a Classic; it does everything that it had with my 5G-Video EXCEPT it will not allow me to set radio stations, either with the Radio Remote's control or the iPod's control.
I have spoken with an iPod specialist (Apple Care) and according to him Apple has acknowleged less than 100% compatibility/functionality with the Radio Remote and the Classics. One of the reasons, he stated, was that several 5G-Video iPods were "getting fried" when the Remote was not fully connected to the docking-port. So Apple has decided to reengineer the port [for better a connection, I gather]. What puzzles me the most about the new generation of iPods is why they were rolled out without warning customers that their Car-Charger, Video Player, dock, AV Cable, or APPLE'S OWN Remote will not play nice with each other!
This go around, it's find out the hard way.
