Ipod 160 and 120

is there a reason apple downgraded in memory from 160gb to 120 gb, and are there any bugs or anything they found wrong in the 160gb ipod?
and is there any real advantages to buying the newer 120gb over the 160 gb?

Ok apple thought that it would be better to do a "ONE SIZE" fits all.
This is reasonable concept rather than have a 60-180 gig ipod the just made a single ipod at 120 gig for the same price 5th generation 30 gig ipod video 249.99. the 60 the 180 was about 349.99 the new ipod is more reasonable yopu get a ton of space to store what ever you want movies, music, ect....
******* HOWEVER I urge all to stay away until the kinks are worked out *****
I have had the unfortunate pleasure of picking up this wonderful new product on 9/13/08 after 3 days and some serious problems ie... track skipping, freezing
and it locking up my computer when trying to reset. I finally got the red X in a circle I called apple support and after literal hours on the phone was told to return the ipod. I picked up my new ipod on 9/20/08 and guess what happened.
It started only playing 30 second clips of my songs and the same "CRAP" started again. After again literal hours with "Tech Support" I got nowhere but angry.
and this time my computer said my ipod was corupt.... sounds like a hardware problem to me.
All though they say they are not having many problems when you call.
Beware and wait..... as for the five R's I give them five F's and not for failure.

I have an ipod 160 and have only been able to copy about 12000 songs to it. now it is telling me it cannot copy my last 894 mbs. any words of wisdom?

I have an ipod classic 160gb and have copies 12000 songs down to itunes to move to it but at the last minute i got a message that it will not accomodate 896 mb of what I have copied to itunes. any words of wisdom?

You have to open the iTunes program, on the file tab there is an option to "create new version" you click on this option and goes to change iPod or iPhone version. If you want to change the version of videos you click on iPad or TV version, and these will appear in movies because the format is MPEG-4.
Care with the music, you repeat music tracks, and maintains the old format version.
I hope it helps.

That is precisely what my mid-2010 MacBoook Pro 13 was doing before the drive finally died after an Apple Genius rebooted it a dozen or so times. I have since read about the exact same thing happening to others, including a writer for The Atlantic magazine who had never had an issue with a Mac before. Do a back-up ASAP to make sure you don't lose anything and see about replacing the HDD. It is only about $140 for a new drive. The real issue is if you lose your data, too. So, make sure you do that back-up!

Bought a new computer, and new ipod 160 GB. I went to sync all my music and it's telling me that the computer isn't authorized. I authorize it and it still won't let me syn these songs

Think you got to reboot or relaunch iTunes after the Authorization.
but here is the Apple support Article on Authorization and sync to iPod

Have multiple devices associated with one Apple ID: iPod Touch and Ipad Mini stopped sending/receiving iMessages and FaceTime all of a sudden

This is the listing of what we have:
Ipod Touch 4th Gen for daughter
Ipod Touch 5th Gen for another daughter
Ipad 3
Ipad Mini
Iphone 4S
Iphone 4S
For sharing/downloading convenience, all of these are linked to one apple ID. iMessage and FaceTime were working flowlessly when we set it up. Yes, there was a problem initially where some devices were receiving someone else's texts, but they were resolved when I went to Settings and chose a specific # or email address for each DEVICE (so there's no overlapping)
All of a sudden, my daughter's Ipod Touch 4th Gen started having problems sending messges. Sending bar will go up to the end then stop right before it gets completely full--end result, message not delivered. I tried to facetime her, but nothing happens. Sometimes when I try facetiming ipod touch 4th, I'd get an error message '____ is not available for FaceTime'
I've confirmed the email address associated with ipod Touch 4 has been added and verified under my apple ID. I've tried restoring the iPod in iTunes, hard resetting the unit, turning off and on iMessage/FaceTime... and still doesn't work.
All our software is up to date. By the time I started thinking maybe ipod touch 4th gen is getting old, my husband's newly bought ipad MINI started having the same problem.
This is really frustrating---help?

We're screwwwwwed! Not THAT familiar to apple, just barely plugging along and dove in with two ipads and two ipod touches. Previous experience was just two ipods (160 GB) that I had to still rotate audio books out of every few months... well, for me. My wife doesn't use hers as much. ANYWAY, I lost a zillion things with the ipod classic since it didn't have a back-up option and many of the CDs I scrounged up when it first came out were already lucky to have survived college. 8 years later and the computer that had the original files had been replaced umpteen times. ipods failed and decided to quit being a tight wad. Not sure if these gifts are worth it yet.... well, two of them were.

Ipod scan and fix error

I have A 160 gb ipod classic and am using windows 8, I plugged it in this morning and got the "scan and fix" error message and accidentally clicked it and it erased all 5,600 songs I have on ipod. when I go to summary it still shows all the space is still taken up but instead of music files, they're "other" is there a way to fix this?

I am having the same issue with my iPod Shuffle (512MB). I keep hitting No, but is there anything out there to fix this issue? Is there something wrong with my iPod? Please advise.

Ipod 160 Classic Constantly Skipping Songs. :c

You will probably get a better response if you post in the iPod Classic Forum:

IPod 160 GB stopped working... now I'm sad.

I have an iPod 160 GB that after reset, only shows apple logo... when plugged into Mac, never appears in iTunes, and has old dos look with "do not disconnect" and blinking stop signal. Never does anything else... any ideas on how to get it to work again?
Was originally purchased over 3 years ago, but have made sure software up to date each time I sync.

Did you not have the iTunes library XML file on your external HD? Try reloading that, if you still have it. I believe this stores information of playlists and whatnot.
Otherwise, I guess you're stuck with looking at what songs you've had in your playlists on your iPod, if you didn't update it with the next iTunes, and dragging songs in.
Best of luck loosing iTunes information and preferences is painful.

IPod Classic and Camera Connector

Apparently Apple's camera connector will not work with the classic (?) Hopefully they will release as I purchased the 160 gig and should have a lot of space left. What are the alternatives? Apple release an updated version please for the Classic.

yes this is true. If you search in this forum you'll see more discussion of the topic. Send feedback to apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html and request that they fix the issue via firware. Of course we don't know if that's even possible because maybe they changed the hardware such that there is no going back. Very frustrating.

My Ipod 160 GB

It has a red circle with a red x in the middle how do I get it off. I went to the support page. I even re-did iTunes even. Please Help

I'm having the same issue. Old ipod 160 gig worked for years; it crashed. I bought a new "used" ipod. It starts reading all my music and syncs a few songs then crashes. I get the same screen you do about duplicate, etc. Very frustrating. I'm downloaded the new iTunes (not impressed). I've tried unchecking most of my music to see if that would help but it didn't. Any suggestions? Thanks

My iPod 160 GB Classic won't sync at all

Alright, so I got this iPod at Christmas. It randomly started to erase my music, and then it wouldn't register on my computer whatsoever. I've gone to the Apple store itself, asking the manager for some help. They told me they were too "busy" to deal with me- and that I should just contact the Support Groups on line on iTunes. So here I am. Her only advice was to try erasing iTunes on my computer and reapplying it to my computer- and I just tried that, but it hasn't worked. Another thing my iTunes is saying is that there are two files on my computer for this device? The exact wording is- "The iPod "Laura's Ipo" cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified." What does that even mean?! I'm really sick and tired of running into dead ends and nothing working for me- I loved this iPod before it crashed on me... Can someone please help? I don't know how much more of this I can take...

IPod 160 Gb Reboots upon Item Selection

Greetings. I have been unable to find this specific sort of rebooting problem mentioned in the forums, and am hoping someone will be able to provide some insight.
I had a 3.5-month old 160 Gb iPod Classic that functioned fine initially, but eventually developed the problem that whenever I made a selection (song, artist, playlist, etc.), the iPod would reboot. Very infrequently, upon selection the reboot did not occur, but then would occur later next time I selected something new, or just backed out of the menu. I believe, but am not certain, that this behavior did not begin until I updated to iTunes 9.1. Unfortunately, I also transferred my iTunes set-up to a new Windows 7 system about the same time.
After searching the forums and support, I did all the reasonable things: updated iTunes and iPod to the current version software, ran the diagnostics, restored, rebuilt my iTunes library, restored again, and ran a checkdisk program, all to no avail. I was convinced at that point I had a hardware failure. Yesterday, at my local Apple store, the tech quickly verified that there was a problem and gave me a new unit.
After charging and syncing to iTunes overnight, this morning I established that the new unit is doing the same thing. I observed three quick reboots, once each on selecting a playlist, an album, and a genre.
Unless I am just incredibly unlucky and got two identically bad units, I am wondering what else might be going on. I have this iPod almost fully loaded up: 149 Gb of music files, 33,000+ songs, 50+ playlists (some with >30,000 songs), 3100 CDs. Does anyone know if this might exceed some internal limit that could be resulting in reboots?
My firmware is 2.0.4 and I think my iTunes is 9.1 (whatever is current; I don't have access at the moment, but updated iTunes last weekend). Any advice or comments are welcome.

I had a 160 GB classic with the same problems. And I was syncing manually. Only about 60 GB of music.
But then, no matter what I selected, music, artist, playlist, composer, etc, the iPod would seem to work, then hang at the Apple logo.
I tried the extras, games, chose Klondike, and it hanged in loading. Never got to the Apple logo. Same with iQuiz.
I reset it several times (in between trying all variations) which just resulted in seeing the Apple logo again. I restored it several times. Same behavior.
I took it to the Apple store.
They replaced it with a brand new one. They said the drive had failed.
I synced the new iPod with my library. And the same thing has happened again. Anything I selected cause rebooting.
iPod Classic 160 GB
iTunes 9.1.1 (12)
OS X 10.6.3 Build 10D573
This happened with 3 iPod 160 GB Classics. It happened with 2 different Macs. (I got a new computer in between the 2nd and 3rd iPod)
None of my other iPod nanos or 60GB iPodPhoto or iPhone have this problem. Same music.
I took it back to the Apple store.
They suggested it might be a problem with the computer since it happened so many times. Could my library be corrupted? I rebuilt it. But if so, how come there is no problem with the other iPods with the same music? Can my data cause a hardware problem? Could it be iTunes 9 that is the problem?
Could I be the only one this has happened to?
Not according to this discussion.

I decided that since it would not work with my hardware, I returned it.

Ipod 160 Gig Question

I have a 160 gig Ipod classic and have encountered a new problem since the latest version of Itunes. I listen to a lot of audio books and they used to play one cd to the next.
Now the Ipod stops after each chapter and I have to manually find the next cd and start it. Is there a way to have the IPOD play one CD to the next like it used to?

Solved the problem, some how the little loop button or repeat all was deselected on the Ipod classic. Now everything is working normally again. I'm glad it was a simple fix. Thanks for your input.

I have an ipod touch and want to purchase an ipad can i use one account

I have an Ipod touch and want to purchase an ipad. Can the same account be used. Can my purchases on my ipod touch be synced to my ipad?

the only limits you'll face is if any of your iPod touch apps are for the iPhone only, they'll show up as tiny in the middle of the screen. There'll be a 2X button that'll allow you to zoom it up...some look better than others. All depends on how high resolution they are made.
Other apps will be in the app store with a + by them, those are universal and scale to fit the screen they are displayed on. Other apps you'll need to buy the iPad version. And you'll find some apps that are iPad only.

My 4th gen ipod touch and my 6th gen ipod touch is not recognized by windows 8 or itunes

Help! Both of my ipods are refusing to be recognized by both windows 8 and itunes. I've tried many different things from redownloading itunes, plugging the cables into different usb ports, using different cables, etc. I'm upset because I have no other ipods availabe and I really cannot afford to buy another one.

Hello Caitlin,
I'd suggest taking a look through the following article for a whole host of useful troubleshooting steps that can help get your iPods to reappear in iTunes.
