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!

    If at all possible, keep the pc alive.  You will need a place to backup your stuff that will not go to the cloud.  If your pc supports the current version of I tunes, then load it up and make that your central storage place.   If your problem is simply lack of disk space on the pc, external USB drives are pretty cheap.
    In any event, you will need I tunes to get the non purchased music o to your pad, so you will need a pc at some point.

  • Is there a better way to share your music library outside your home network other than using an i-Pod classic?

    APPLE-Here's a complement and a question.  Why has the i-Pod Classic fallen from grace compared to other i-Pods?    Please know that while I can share my music using home sharing within my home network with a different i-Tune account, it seems to me that the best benefit of having an i-Pod Classic is that you can give your dedicated music library and device to a friend or housemate to use outside your wireless network (and not on the internet) to use while traveling.   Am I wrong?   Is there a benefit to sharing the cloud usage with a friend.   Add that to the click wheel and I think I'm going to be a fan of the i-Pod Classic far longer than it is in production.  I hope Apple NEVER stops production of this device.   Are you listening Apple?

    Yes it is, and it's precisely what the music industry has been fighting about for years.
    Interpreting the law to suit yourself does not render law ineffective. Apple's Terms of Use mention this:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise 'work around' digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about 'ripping' DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    ...which is why my original response was framed as it was. Nothing to do with "attack mode". (You're the one with an "attack style" user name.)

    Heck, as I understand it, I can legally burn up to five copies of a bought song for noncommercial, personal use....so copying in and of itself is also not illegal.
    As I recall, the music industry has acknowledged that making a copy of a CD (that you own, and still have in your possession) is regarded as "Fair Use" - and is therefore tolerated. But until that point was established just a few years ago, then technically, it was illegal to rip a CD into iTunes and onto an iPod. Slightly different to your interpretation. That same music industry (and the musicians) regard the following as unacceptable:
    keeping a copy of a CD but disposing of that CD to someone else
    lending the CD to friends, so that they can make a copy
    making copies and giving them or selling them to someone else
    But what is okay is:
    Home sharing
    use of the CD by someone in your family, living under the same roof
    At this time, if a couple wish to combine their two iTunes accounts of purchased digital music once they get married, they cannot. Perhaps that's where Home Sharing comes in.

  • I pod classic for I pod touch

    I have an I pod classic and it has warranty on it. Is it possible for me to turn the ipod classic in for I pod touch with the warranty I have?

    You will get the same model if BB still carries it. If that model is no longer avaliable, you'll get a comparable model, meaning another Classic. Your store may be willing to give you a store credit for the comparable model which you can use to purchase a touch. However, the store is not required to do this.

  • Need help on playing videos on 80 Gb I Pod Classic

    Hi,
    I need help!!!!!!!!!!!
    My I Pod Classic 80 GB jus wont play any video files.
    I have set it to manually sync songs and videos using iTunes.
    I dont have a problem with any of the music files.
    The video files just would'nt play.
    The video files are in the .mov format and play both in my quick time player and in i tunes.
    However, when I try to add the videos to the iPod, it displays the following error message
    "MC_1 was not copied to the iPod 'ar iPod' because it cannot be played on this iPod"
    This ipod is new and since i brought it it this is the first time am adding videos to the iPod.
    Any suggestions?
    P.S. I have also tried automatic sync from itunes and also reset iPod to the factory settings.

    Hi Ar_08. It is probably a problem with video format. Make sure you are using a compatable format. What extension does the filehave on it. Check this link - http://support.apple.com/specs/ipod/iPod_classic.html . It will give you information about video and audio format. Good luck.

  • What cable do I need to connect an i-pod classic to a Boze Wave machine?

    What cable do I need to connect an I-pod classic to a Boze wave machine?

    If you're trying to transfer the music, from the Nano to the Air, you have to either download your purchased songs again in the purchased tab of iTunes or sync them to the Air, using iTunes on your computer.
    Its been a few years since I've used a Nano, but IIRC, the only way to get the music on the device to begin with is by syncing with iTunes, so the songs have to be in your iTunes library.

  • The hard drive was recently replaced on my computer and I now only have music purchased from i-tunes store showing in my library. Is there a way of syncing from i-pod classic back to library without re-copying all my cd-collection?

  • My i-Pod classic is no longer listed as a device & cannot sync.

    I have an i-Pod classic (click-wheel) that works just fine.  I recently transferred my i-Tunes to a new Windows computer, successfully.  I just tried to sync my i-Pod and found that my i-Pod is not listed as one of my authorized devices - therefore it won't sync.  I removed the former computer from the list, but not my i-Pod.  How can I get my i-Pod back on that list of devices - there is no "add a device" icon...  When I called support, they just tried to charge me more money to investigate the problem.  How hard is it to simply put my device (that I already paid money for...) back on my list, as it was in August before I got the new computer?  I am starting to feel like they are forcing me to purchase a new i-Pod.... not cool for the customer.

  • TS1538 My I-pod Classic is not showing up in I-tunes, but my I-pod nano does. What do I need to fix this?

    When I connect my I-pod classic it automatically says its connected in the Classics window, but does not appear in I-Tunes. I have tried removing the old I tunes program and re-installing the newest version, I have done the toggle the hold button reset trick, and nothing. But when I plug in my nano it sync's the connects and shows up in I-Tunes. So that tells me my cord is good and the USB I am using is good. Any help would be great.. Thanks

    1) Plug in the USB then the 21 pin dock connector to your Classic while iTunes isn't open and if your computer makes a little du du noise it means its installing the iPods Device software and should work once its finished
    2) Try using a different USB port or cord and see if that makes a difference
    3)Contact Apple directly by phone and there support line is here http://www.apple.com/contact/

  • I Pod classic not appearing in i tunes

    When I plug in my I pod Classic 80g the follwing error message occurs:
    There might be a problem with some of the files on this device or disk. This can happen if you remove the device or disk before all the files have been written to it.
    Scan & Fix (recommended)
    Continue without scanning.
    I have tried clicking both options, but although a scan appears to start, the dialogue box disappears and nothing happens. I have tried the "5 Rs" but am unable to restore as the device is not shown in I Tunes.
    I also have an i phone which I have no issues connecting to the same laptop & itunes, so would appear to be an issue with the i pod?
    Any ideas would be appreciated as I am at a loss with this...
    Thanks abs

    I have the ipod classic 120gig and am having the same problem. Just started today. I even tried Media Monkey and can't get it to recognize my ipod. Still searching the discussion groups for a fix.

  • 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.

  • Download from i-pod classic to i-tunes

    All my i-tune songs have hidden themselves in my system. I have an appointment at an apple store this friday. The tech I talked to said worse case scenario I could get a third party program to download from my i-pod classic back to i-tunes. Any suggestions on such programs, I have an i-mac running 10.6.7
    thanks'
