Ipod 160 GB, why 148 GB
Hi! I have 160 Gb ipod but when I connect to my pc they said 148 Gb even in my ipod said too, what happen with the rest 12 GB, I know they using some for the ipod but I know it's no more then 1 Gb but what happen with the rest 11 Gb lost or this ipod they are no really 160 GB, please answer me soon thank you.
Not to beat a dead horse, but to every hard drive manufacturer, OEM, and reseller, 1 billion bytes = 1 gigabyte. Your 160GB iPod contains a hard drive that has 160 billion bytes (give or take). The problem is that computers count in binary (base 2) as opposed to decimal (base 10). This is - and has been - true since the the earliest computers. One gigabyte is actually 2 to the 30th (1,073,741,824) bytes. My 160GB PC hard drive reports a formatted capacity of 149GB. I'm willing to bet that your 500GB drives are reported by Windows as having only about 465GB. Yes, it's all marketing - hard drive manufacturers should advertise the capacity as reported by the computers (and back in the day, they did), but Apple is far from alone in this respect. Oh, and your 5gig iPod, really only had about 4.66 gigs.

i spend a long time to try to sync my itunes music on my ipod 160 GB Classic, but after waiting so long get a pop up message that itunes stop syncing because of error 46, some times giving me 58, 1469, and many other numbers, please help am using macbook pro
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!

Can an ipod get a virus from a pc that has a virus. After connecting two different ipods to my pc to download music they both are not working correctly, could the virus have transferred to the ipod, if not why would both ipods not work and be doing the same thing? When trying to click on a game it just stays on the main screen.
- I have not heard of a virus that can cause problem with an iDvice that has not been jailbroken.
- Try resetting the iPods. nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Do you hve problems with one game? The same game on both iPods?
Other apps? -
I bought music on my ipod touch. Why is it that I cannot put that music on my other ipod(s)?
Hello,
I bought music on my iPod touch. Why is it that I cannot put that music on my other Ipod(s)?
I downloaded my IPodTouch to my computer with no problems. I tried to drag the music I bought on my IpodTouch to other playlists on my computer and it did not let me. It refuses to let me even try to drag it to my computer music Library. It shows on my IPodTouch, but like I said, it will not let me drag it to my other Ipod(s) or even to my Music Library on my computer. Please help me.Aurthorise / Deaurthorise About

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

I have purchased the new iPOD 160 GB classic, ... the problem is I can't figure out the code for the volume limit... none of the common ones like 1111 or 5555 are working ... anybody with the same problem please help ...[:(]
If you can't remember the code, you'll have to restore the iPod.

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.

I cannot record anything on iPod shuffle. Why? I do not recognise any of the windows shown in the various manuals about shuffle. Why? Currently an Orange light is blinking on the shuffle, and has been doing so for hours. Why?
I finally stumbled across a fix for this problem, and in case someone else is frustrated at some point by a similar issue I'm posting what finally worked to enable me to bring iTunes up at any time (without rebooting first).
The solution was to go to the preferences to uncheck "search for shared libraries".
I'm glad the problem is fixed, but Apple developers really should include a timeout function on iTunes search for a shared libraries. At least a visual dialog to confirm that the application is in the process of searching for a shared library on the network would help provide clues as to what is causing the spinning beach ball to appear right about the time the application window should pop up. -
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

iTunes doesn't provide the ability to upload media from the iPod/Iphone. Why is this and why can't it be a drag and drop option as windows
Because Apple have designed it that way.
It's actually against the (Apple) rules of this forum to speculate about Apple's decisions, so if perhaps you should ask your question on a more appropriate (non-Apple) forum. If you continue the discussion here, you could simply find that your post gets removed by the moderators. -
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.
jamI 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.
