IPOD 160 GIG CLASSIC

having issue with ipod to turn on giving error measage example showing big (X) in middle of screen saying www.apple.com/support/ipod? can anyone me with thsi matter?

I've bought an iPod Classic as well. And I experience the same sound. The reason why this happens is because the iPod Classic has a spinning hard drive like the one in your computer instead of the flash drive found in the other iPods.
Whenever you browse e.g. your music the hard drive starts spinning, and when the song is found it stops the hard drive to save battery. it's the stopping of the hard drive that makes this sound.
Hope this was useful to you

160 gig classic cover?

Sounds kinda dumb with the problems some of you are having, but I'm trying to find a silicone skin for my 160 gig classic and am out in the boonies. Would appreciate any help you can provide for online locations for finding a good cover to protect my iPod, prefereably silicone, but a hard case would be OK too. I have a leather case that came with it but it's thick and bulky and I'd like something a little more sleek. Thanks.

Games can only be played on the iPod. They cannot be viewed via the TV.

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!

When synching my ipod 80 gig classic, I get this message " iPod cannot be synched. A duplicate file name was specified" And yet, any new music in iTunes is added. What causes this message?

Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from the nominated folder that you have set up to sync photos to the devices.
See iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder for more info.

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...

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

Purchased, mp3 and Podcasts won't sync to 160 gig classic

I have a six-month-old iPod Classic 160 gig, with about 90 gig of music and 10 gig of video on it. In the last two weeks, though, iTunes tells me that 109 tracks won't sync, with the error message "because they cannot be played on this iPod." Some of them, homegrown movies, I understand, but others are either podcasts downloaded through the iTunes store, purchased music (Sheryl Crow's new album) or recently ripped tracks that I did through iTunes using either 128 AAC or Apple Lossless. Most of the ones I've noticed to date were imported in the last 2-3 weeks, and play fine on iTunes, just not the iPod.
I've tried restoring the iPod and deauthorizing then reauthorizing the computer. Neither works. The next step, I think, would be to rebuild my library, but I have tons of playlists I don't want to recreate (or export/import one-by-one, which is how it looks like have to do it).
I can't help but wonder if this is something related to the latest updates to iTunes, seeing as how it's a such a new phenomenon, and there seem to be several similar posts (although not exactly my situation) in discussions.
I welcome any and all suggestions!

Podcasts are completely independent of Apple and iTunes, they're not from iTunes itself. All iTunes does is list the podcast and tell iTunes where to go and find it if you ask to download it. There are other (non-iTunes) Podcast catchers which do the same thing for other MP3 players. So I think that when listing podcasts on iTunes, Apple/iTunes does not consider it's playablity - because it's a podcast and that's the way of Podcasts! Also, the podcaster has probably not produced these podcasts specifically for the iPod and so has not realised that they don't work on our iPods as you and I expect them to.
You could try sending feedback to the podcast creator, explaining that their Podcasts don't play on the iPod itself. They may +_or may not_+ do something about it.
I've had this problem with both audio and video Podcasts. There is an option to convert selections for the iPod which I have tried for the videos, (click on the top menu and *Advanced/Convert selection for iPod/iPhone*. However, this process takes forever and I gave up trying it. I simply watch them in iTunes. I cannot actually remember what I did for the audio Podcasts, but if I right-click (in Windows that is..) on an audio Podcast, I see the option to *convert selection to AAC*. I don't promise that it will work, but you could give it a try.
As for the Sheryl Crow album , if it was purchased from iTunes, I would expect it to play on the iPod without converting it. The same goes for tracks ripped using iTunes on your PC. I can't explain that, perhaps someone else can?

160 gig classic froze as soon as plugged in

I plugged my 160 gig iPod classic into my computer to sync it, and as soon as I plugged it in, it completely froze and remains lit up and frozen. It also will not show up in my iTunes as a plugged-in device. Please help!

I can assure you that Lenovo support is excellent. It's handled by the same original IBM division in Atlanta Georgia. They are there for you 24/7 every day. I would not hesitate to give them a call, as it's also beneficial for them to hear from you. If it's not reported, they won't be aware of it. Many things like this do not show up in the very extensive testing that Lenovo does before releasing a new model. Therefore we are helping them by reporting these issues. Please let us know the outcome of your call....

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.

ITunes 11.1.3 and a 160 gig Classic iPod....

I got a brand new imac and I have an ipod classic 160. Everything synced musically etc etc but I do not see calendars. Is there no way for the classic to sync with calendars since it is not backed up to the icloud? I exported all the calendars and dragged them into the calendars folder on the ipod as it was disk enabled and everything shows up but my question is going forward....what or how does it sync or am i just SOL since I don't have an iTouch.
Any insight?
Thanks!!!

Select "Show Sidebar" under View menu, you will then see the familiar iTunes sidebar and you'll be able to select your iTunes playlist and drop songs into your iPod playlist.
Select "Hide Sidebar" under View menu, select iPod button top right, select "On this iPod" tab, select Music, click "Add to.." tab on top right which will pin your iPod to the right window, then select Playlist view tab, and drag and drop your songs to your iPod playlist.
Other option is using "right click" or the "triangle" dropdown next to songs, select "add to playlist", and scroll to your iPod playlist.
There are are no multiple windows in iTunes 11, and you can't move songs between iTunes playlists using the right sidebar, but it works for moving iTunes to iPod playlists.
iTunes 11 attempted to simplify its interface and ease-of-use but failed miserably. Make sure to select "Enable list view in all media" in iTunes Preferences for easier navigation.

Can you use this devise as storage? It appears that you can create a folder and drop information (doc. files). Thoughts.
Thanks in advance,

My 160 gig classic freezes itunes

My one year old ipod classic has recently sufferd from sort of odd error! Two days ago I connected my ipod to a friends mac to let it charge when i came back my ipod had been wiped of all music and videos! while that bummed me out at first the problems got worse once i got home. Now when i connect my Ipod to my Computer (windows 7) it asks weather or not i want to reformat the device, and my itunes simply freezes when it tries to connect to the Ipod. Is it possible connecting it to the other computer somehow screwed the software? also i cant do a restore since it just freezes my itunes.... any suggestions?

Hey Glitch_Dancer503,
MY suggestion would be to put the iPod Classic into disk mode. After that the restore option should not be as difficult.
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
iPod devices with a Click Wheel
If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
6. Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
