IPOD 160GB

2 real interesting questions here. 1) Since getting the 160GB (lost the 80GB on airplane) I see the new split screen stuff which is cool, but not so cool. Can it be shut off?
Also on my 80GB i used a Belkin cable to go from the headphone jack to my TV using standard video and audio. With the new 160GB it won't go and shows me a picture of the bottom flat port used for syncing. Is the way I used the 80GB not possible with the new 160GB?

You are using a new Classic model, not a 5th generation anymore, so your question may have been better asked in that forum.
I don't have a Classic so can not answer the first question (report over there).
As to your second question, the answer is yes, the way you did it before is no longer possible with the new Classic line as there is no longer a video connection through the headphone jack like there is with the 5th generation models.
You need to buy a compatible cable which plugged into the dock connector of the iPod as all video signals are not accessed exclusively though that bottom connection.
Sorry,
Patrick

Ipod 160GB showing in Windows Vista OS as Removable Disk, not appearing in iTunes (latest version). How can I resolve?, Ipod 160GB showing in Windows Vista OS as Removable Disk, not appearing in iTunes (latest version). How can I resolve?

My Ipod 160GB when disconnected is showing without any files, but no room available. It appears in my 'Computer' screen as 'Removable Disk (though the icon is a little iPod). It does not show up in iTunes at all (I have the latest version).
When I right-click the icon on the 'Computer' screen it does run incredibly slowly. I was doing this to consider if I should try formatting it (only NTSF and exFAT formats were showing) but I wasn't certain if that would be a good idea.
I have thus far:
Hard Reset iPod
Verified the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver was installed correctly via Device Manager
Checked the device in 'Computer Management' > 'Disk Management - showing as a RAW file with only format option as exFAT or NTSF
Ran iPod in Diagnostic Boot Mode - IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* - stats revealed 'Error' (did this twice to confirm error). Reset iPod from here.
After this it actually came up in iTunes but said it needed to be restored - ran Restore iPod. Error message said 'iPod cannot be restored. Uknown error occoured (1415).
Tried Solution 1 (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539) - Reregistering the .dll files. Was unable to complete step 11 as the iPod did not appear in iTunes.
Verified that Apple Mobile Device Manager was installed.
Restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service.
Checked for third party conflicts - couldn't find any.
Changed the drive letter and restarted the computer.
Put into disk mode - unsure what that achieves.
Downloaded the HP USB with no luck running the program. I believe that Windows Vista doesn't allow formatting drives to FAT32 at all, and even previous editions of Windows wouldn't allow formatting above 32GB so certainly no suitable for me. If I got hold of a mac computer - could I format on that? Or is there a FAT32 Formatter that works for 160GB?
So I am at a bit of a frustrated loss. If you have any suggestions or know what I should do - I am all ears or eyes as it were. I will be on standby to give you more information if required.
Thanks,
Ashley

Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Also see these (if you haven't found them already):
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod
iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes

HT1209 I have a music collection on my iPod (160GB Classic). I have that collection on my old Mac Book. Now I have a new Mac Pro and want to transfer the collection to the new Mac Pro, is that doable?

Thanks roaminggnome. Can I do that transfer wirelessly or do I have to get a large jump drive to copy and transfer. I presume that I cannot use my iPod right?

Select characters/symbols won't display on iPod 160GB Classic since restore

I don't know if anyone has come across this yet or not. My new iPod 160GB Classic crashed after 1 week. Since restoring, I've noticed that certain characters/symbols won't display in artist/title names on my iPod that used to display just fine before the restore (symbols like + and ÿ). The restore function says that it restores it to the 'original factory settings,' but obviously not. I have tried restoring again, but that hasn't solved the problem. I've tried getting the track names from Gracenote (thinking maybe it was a font-specific thing), but that didn't help either. I know it seems petty, but I'm not sure how to solve it. The latest update has been applied to my iPod and I have the latest version of iTunes. Any ideas? I believe the crash was caused by a third party software which has since been removed. I have not experienced any problems since.

Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.
a slightly quicker method is to highlight all the songs on that album (make sure it is just that one album) and paste the artwork into the box.
Sync the iPod with your iTunes Library.

Ipod 160gb sync problem

I have a Ipod 160gb (late 2009) that im trying to Sync all my music to from my itunes library.
Itunes will start the Sync and go for awhile, but then it seems like my ipod ejects itself or something and the sync stop and i get a error
one of the errors i got was unknown error -124
the other times the ipod has just ejected itself for no reason
Any help would be greatly appreciated

hI,
ARE YOU GETTING A DIALOG WINDOW THAT SAYS IT CAN'T FIND CERTAIN FILES.
i AM AND IF i CLOSE IT THE IPOD STOP SYNCHING.iF i JUST LEAVE THE DIALOG BOX OPEN THE IpOD CONTINUES TO SYNC AND THEN WHEN IT'S DONE SYNCHING i CLOSE THE DIALOG BOX THAT SAYS IT CAN'T FIND CERTAIN FILES (Sorry For The Caps)

ITunes 11.1.5 completely wiped ipod 160gb classic

Updated to itunes 11.1.5, unchecked a few songs for my ipod 160gb then hit sync. The whole ipod has been wiped!!!!
I spent hours with all this music and playlists, now totally gone, so much for new music on the roadtrip tomorrow. To say I'm hugely annoyed would be an understatement.
To top it all off I've had to restore (think ipod wouldn't recognize?) which has resulted in the error 'the ipod could not be restored because it is busy.

The 160GB iPod classic was released in 2009. It is still being sold unchanged. That's a much longer product life than most Apple products. So, a 160GB iPod classic can be brand new, or almost 5 years old. A high percentage of them currently in use are approaching the end of their useful life (even if treated carefully), because hard drives eventually wear out and become unreliable over time. They are fragile and have many moving parts. It's not a matter of IF they start to have problems, but WHEN they start to have problems, just like hard drives in desktop and laptop computers.
Here's an example of what often happens... An aging iPod seems to be working fine, but the hard drive is slowly becoming less reliable, with problems like bad sectors. As long as data updates are small, incremental, and not that frequent, it continues to work fine, with minor issues such as occasional slowness and songs that skip. The owner wants to give it a "fresh start" by doing a Restore. The Restore requires a major update to the hard drive's data, and the hard drive errors out, "bricking" the iPod. Conclusion by the owner... iTunes broke my iPod. It can't be a coincidence that the iPod's hard drive "completely died" exactly when I did the Restore. iTunes is bad.
No, it's not a coincidence, because the hard drive was already unreliable. It continued to work as long as most of its data stayed mostly static and unchanged. But when a major update to the hard drive's data took place, such as the Restore, it failed. The Restore revealed the problem, it did not cause the problem.
There is no problem that is specific to the latest iTunes and 160GB iPod classic. The problem is that many 160GB iPod classics in use today are aging, and their hard drives are becoming unreliable. In your case, your iPod's hard drive may be unreliable because of the "hot car for a month." When you had the iPod set for Manually manage music, and mistakenly changed it to using syncing, that was a major change in the hard drive's data (like doing a Restore). That may be why iTunes then indicated the iPod was corrupted. That sequence of events is not related to using iTunes 11.1.5.

Ipod 160gb classic is frozen. please help!!!!!!

Ok so my ipod 160gb froze, I'm guessing its cuz i tried to sync it and iTunes froze so i disconected it. Anyway, I've tried wiggling the hold button, holding down the center and play/pause button. Nothing is working. I've even tried plugging it back in but nothing is working. Also, iTunes wont sync the stuff I just got off the iTunes store. My computer recognises it, but itunes doesnt. I tried to update my software, but it wounldnt let me. It would stop halfway through the download. Can someone please help me out! Thanks.

Turn the Hold switch on , then off again and press-and-hold the Menu and Select (centre) buttons for ten seconds.
"Wiggling it" will not work, unless it's a new form of dance

Using iPod 160GB with Alpine HeadUnit

Does anyone have any experience with an Alpine FullSpeed headunit and the iPod 160GB ?
I'm planning to buy an iPod, to connect to my CDA-9887 using the FullSpeed interface.
Now I'm wondering if the response time is good / search is fast or slow / possible setbacks / advantages / fast or slow track selection / etc ...
Anyone experience that they want to share ?

Alpine support says, basically, live with it. I noticed in a review off the Crutchfield Web site that someone else was having the same issue. Actually, what Alpine CS said made sense. The way the unit is set up by default is to repeat the playlist/album that you are listening to in the car (much like many single-disc CD players start replaying the CD when they get to the end). So, when you disconnect the iPod from the hi-speed cable, it's set to replay all. It's really not been much of a problem for me. If I forget to switch it off after removing the iPod from my car, the worse that happens is that it replays whatever playlist/album I listen to the next time I use the iPod outside the car. And, as you and I both agree, it's great save for this one quirk.

Major problems with ipod 160gb

i bought an ipod 160gb classic only a few months ago and its already giving me problems. i was listening to it and it stopped playing the music, then it started moving through the list without playing any songs. if i tried to go back to a song it would just skip ahead and not play it. now it keeps displaying the circled X sign and tells me to go to www.apple.com/support/ipod. the website isnt really helping because it tells me to reset to the disk but i cant really do that. PLEASE HELP much appreciated. thanks.

the website isnt really helping because it tells me to reset to the disk
I have no idea what that means.
Have you tried these basic troubleshooting steps?

If nothing helps, you can arrange online service here.

Or you could take it into an Apple store and have them take a look at your iPod.

IPod 160GB Frozen, not recognized in iTunes or HardDrive

My iPod 160GB froze mid playing of a song. It won't turn off, even if I try restart by pressing the play/pause key and middle of the wheel. I connected it to iTunes and iTunes doesn't recognize it, meaning the iPod isn't appearing in iTunes, or even on my HardDrive.
Any suggestions?

I just installed the latest iTunes. It found my 64GB touch 3G no problem. An hour later, it no longer can recognize it (iTunes takes forever to load). This happ4ned 2 weeks ago, with the last iTunes upgrade. I had to restore it, losing everything on it. I won't do that again. I did not hing to my computer/itouch between working an hour ago and now. My iTouch is less than a year old. There is no excuse for it to be broken. There are no Apple stores by me, either. There is no reason for the iTouch to stop being recognized randomly.

IPod 160GB - the good and the bad new

I received my iPod 160GB this morning. Here are some of my first impressions.
The good news:
I was a bit worried about speed issues and/or crashing as posted on this forum, but my iPod seems to work without any major speed issues, and I haven't encountered any crash so-far. The content is about 60GB of music, lots of covers, 2 movies, agenda and contacts. Even cover flow has a very acceptable speed (faster than on my dual G5 PowerMac), though I wonder its suitability with an amount of covers associated with 160GB of music. The only performance issue I encounter when I go back to the main menu, where arbitrary cover art is shown using Ken Burn effects. I guess a bit of caching can solve this issue.
The bad news:
Sound quality. The good thing is that it's more crisp than the iPod Video 5G 60GB (more loudness > 8kHz) adding to a pronunced sort of accuracy with cymbals and percussion beats, but a bit too crisp from a timbre standpoint of view (reminds me a bit of my iPod 3G). It also has less energy in the lower mid-range (200-800Hz), so it misses some push and harmonics. Overall this results in a less harmonic sound, less spatial (the scene is inside your head instead of around your head), a bit too much emphasis on high treble, and "less silence between the notes". It sounds more technical, and less acoustical/realistic. The output of my PowerMac G5 resembles the iPod Video much more than the iPod Classic. I suspect there is a mismatch in the group delay of the treble, where the treble arrives "faster" than the lower frequencies. That's a typical error in DA-conversion and filtering, that can be fixed by FIR filtering, or masked by a slight attenuation (0.1-0.3dB of treble starting from 8kHz).
Some say it is a small issue, but I think it is a huge issue.
Annoyances/strange things:
- Sound quality. A bit more natural and acoustical instead of technical.
- When the screen blanks during playing, it shows a clock, and a battery indicator. When music plays I'd like to see where in the track I am, what number is playing etc., without having to touch the iPod to wake its screen up.
- EU sound limit. With my Sennheiser HD650 and some soft recordings, it is too soft. I hope for a fast update of GoPod, to be able to accomplish normal sound levels.
- Clicker hardly audible through the headphones.
- Everywhere album art in the main menu, except for the "Now Playing" menu, which only shows a title.
Some bugs:
- The time shown when the screen blanks is always in US (no AM/PM!) format instead of the selected 24h format in the preferences.
- The date is always shown in US format (m/d/y instead of d/m/y).
- Home addresses and office addresses in the address book are all mentioned as home address on the iPod.
- The camera connector doesn't work.
- Equalizer heavily distorting. It is amazing that this is the case since the 1G iPod, and nothing has ever been done to fix this.
I hope a firmware update will solve things quickly. Especially the sound quality issue should be solved; this is the primary reason to buy an iPod.

As an audio engineer I must disagree with your conclusions regarding severity of the issue. The variations found (0.1dB) are simply too small to amount to anything significant. 1dB is DEFINED as the smallest volume change that a human can perceive, and 0.1dB is a variation far smaller than batch discrepancies in any group of identical speakers or headphones you care to name.
Furthermore, the so-called “incorrect timing response” is EXACTLY what one SHOULD see given a small change in treble response - this is systems engineering 101, folks. The time and frequency domains are different reflections of the same behavior.
I will add that this “timing response” is far more linear and of a smaller magnitude than any mechanical device (speaker, headphone) you will find on the planet. These mechanical necessities will simply swamp any small variation in the electronics.
As to spatial effects - I will step into deeper waters here and state that any that exist in 2 channel recordings are subject to an awful lot of much larger forces, such as room acoustics, headphone behaviors, and a lot of psychology. Spatial data simply is so poorly represented in 2 channel audio that when it seems to work it is often as not a fluke - the data just isn’t there in a reliable form. When we have recordings that actually represent multi-channel, multi-direction room reflections and multi-channel, multi-direction playback systems we might have something, but not today.
So, is the iPod perfect? No. But I sincerely doubt that these changes are in fact audible, even given good quality headphones. I have listened to far too many pieces of gear to believe that.

IPod 160GB not working on new MP

I cannot use my iPod classic 160GB on my new Mac Pro - neither under Mac OS nor under Vista 64. On Mac OS iTunes hangs after plugging in the iPod, similarly under Vista iTunes and Windows explorer hangs too.
Interestingly the same ipod works with any other PC; already tried with downgraded firmware (from 1.1.1 to 1.1 and 1.0.3). iPhone works with the same machine! Very annoying.
Any ideas?

before plugging it in, make sure your ipod is turned on. stupid, but that's the only way mine (5G) works without hanging.

IPod 160Gb works with Macintosh, but not with Windows

Hi,
My much treasured 160Gb iPod crashed and since then, I can restore it on a Macintosh machine and add music, etc. HOWEVER, as soon as I try it in a Windows PC it tells me I need to re-format it for Windows (expected) goes through the process OK, reboots and then drops into Disk Mode and sits there!
I have tried restoring it on the Mac and choosing not to use the disk as a hard disk (can't remember the actual terminology), still no good. Unfortunately, I don't have a mac and am able to temporaily borrow one, but would ideally like this back to working in windows.
Any ideas, please.
Just to let you know I have done the 5 Rs to death and have de-installed the latest iTunes and rolled back to a 7.6 version.
Hope you can help.

You are running an OS that is 5 years old and you want to use the latest hardware. You need to check system requirements before you buy new gadgets whether they are Apple, Microsoft, IBM, or whatever. You can't use a Zune with 98 ME or 2000...you need XP or Vista. We could debate whether Apple chose not to support new iPods in 10.3 for technical reasons or for financial reasons. Since there are more folks using ipods with windows (I think) than with Macs, I have to assume there is a technical reason. Neither one of knows for sure, so please read the stuff on the box before you buy something new.
