Ipod 40 gb Classic ='(

I have an Ipod classic 40gb (love it) Very nostalgic. It is old as you may notice by the 40gb. I try going into disk mode and every once in a while it will go into disk mode. I mean once every 25-30 times. I don't want to trade in for 10% of a new Ipod nor do I want to spend 100-200$ on repair it. It shows the apple sign, Apple support sad face, and a charging battery (which never moves.) When I do get it into disk mode I ofcourse have to update the drivers and software on it but when I try to it always fails. I think if I can update the software it will be fully functional again. I really love this Ipod. Please help ='(

The genius functionality is not available on your ipod 40 gb:

  • My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
    BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • How can I start up my ipod 120GB classic without a firewire connection? Is this possible to do?

    I have had this ipod for 2 years and its been sitting in a box because I didnt know how to fix it, thought I'd give it a whirl tonight. It stopped working, displaying the red X screen and Im trying reboot/reset it and  I am at the Accessorize Test. However my Ipod/ Computer doesnt have a Fire Wire port to connect so can I continue in anyway to fix this IPod without the Firewire Port, if not is there any other way to fix this?

    You dont  need Friewire for a 120GB, unfortunately you are going about things the wrong way.
    Try these steps
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours) (the iPod need power to run)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

    Installed iTunes and connect iPod to the USB port.
    Good luck!

  • IPOD 120 Classic:  What is the latest download Version?

    I want to make sure I'm kept up to date on my Ipod 120 Classic. What is the latest version download? I'm not sure what current version I have. Do I get the latest version on Itunes?

    Do I get the latest version on Itunes?
    Yes. Software updates for the iPod classic aren't available as standalone downloads, and iTunes will tell you if there's an update.

  • Ipod 160g classic issues.

    Hi Please help.  I have a Ipod 160g classic. Ive been on the phone today to apple support for over an hour and a half to try and resolve this issue and its still happening.  I am trying to transfer music from my windows 7 PC to my Ipod and it keeps freezing after transfering a few diffrent albums tracks. Im having to switch off my PC and start again as it locks the whole PC up. I have the latest software on the Ipod and the latest itunes which I have unintsalled and reinstalled this afternoon and it is still happening.  this issue has only seem to have started since downloading the latest version of Itunes. Is anybody else experincing this issue.  Thanks

    I have audio books and have been informed by Apple Support that in order to keep the audio books in the audio book folder of my iPod and I have to have the iPod set to disk use mode and therefore cannot have iTunes and my iPod sunc. In other words I have to drag and drop new items into my iPod. This is time consuming when I add new songs to iTune.
    That's nonsense - use Sync with selected playlists and it works fine, although there are a few issues you certainly don't need to use disk mode or manual management.
    With iTunes 8.x you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
    Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook.
    Having established that the files are of kind Audiobook, they will then only show in the Audiobook section of the iPod plus any playlists they are explicity included in. The files don't show anywhere else in Music, i.e. Coverflow, Albums etc.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?

    There is not.  Your only option is to connect the Nano to your new iTunes library and restore it.

  • How do I use ipod 5th classic with new itunes

    how do I use my old ipod classic 5th generation with the latest itunes software?

    The same way as before...
    If the new look of iTunes is confusing, it may look more familiar to you if you show the sidebar.  It is hidden by default to streamline the look and feel.
    From the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  With the sidebar not hidden, iTunes mostly works like it did before.
