  • I have an ipod classic 6th generation which has a 160gb MK1626GCB HDD in it. This drive has failed so I bought a new one. I don't know how I've managed it but I've ended up with a 160gb MK1634GAL. Can I just get a different ribbon so it fits?

    Hello I hope somebody can help. I have an ipod classic 6th generation which has a 160gb MK1626GCB HDD in it. This drive has failed so I bought a new one. I don't know how I've managed it but I've ended up with a 160gb MK1634GAL. The connectors on the hdds are different on the hdd end but look the same on the mb end. Can I just get a different ribbon so it fits? Ive looked for one and have found a couple of different ones and the seem to be specific to the ipod although I cannot find one specific for the 160g. Can anyone shed some light onto this?

    Did you turn proxies on?  If so, you should turn them off.

  • IPod Classic 6th Generation Sound Quality

    So I'm looking to buy the iPod Classic 6th Generation (80gb) because it's cheaper than the 7th Generation. But after some internet research, people are saying the sound quality is really bad. Is there any way to upgrade the sound quality, and just make it better?

    iPod Classic doesn't have any wireless built-in, so you would need a wireless microphone system plugged into the iPod output (and which is the size of 2 iPod Classic) and a wireless receiver. so it won't be very comfy to "walk around home, and this stuff start around 100$, so you'd be better off with an iPod Touch, although it has less storage.

  • IPod classic 6th generation no sound

    I have an iPod Classic 6th generation 80gb that worked fine until a week ago. It randomly stopped working. The iPod works perfectly but there is no audio. I've tried everything.
    do you have any idea what to do?

  • Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me.  I recently got my first ever Ipod.  It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.  I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

    Thanks for your help.

    I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos.  It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again.  Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device).  Under Settings, click on Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box at the top for Sync Music.  That turns ON automatic syncing for music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below.  Then click Apply.

  • Just got a ipod 7th generation and having some difficulty copying tunes from 5 generation to new ipod; cant seem to sync old with new. any suggestions?

    Plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on it from under Devices in the left hand pane.  This brings you to the Summary tab.  Locate and click on the Music tab.  What configurations do you have made from under this tab?  Is your iPod configured to sync those playlists?

  • IPod Classic 6th Generation wireless streaming to speakers?

    I have an iPod Classic 6th Generation 160 GB and I loaded lots and lots of music. Ideally what I want is to stream music from my iPod wirelessly to speakers so that I can walk around at home and have my iPod in my pocket and change tracks, kinda like a remote control. Is there any way that this can be done?

  • Ipod classic 6th generation 160gb

    I have just bought a second hand ipod classic 6th generation 160gb, I synced it with my itunes and all seemed well, the library on the ipod shows fine when connected, however when I disconnect it, he ipod is empty.

    Hey philip288
    Try syncing a different way, like enabling Manually manage music and videos. Then you can drag and drop the music that you want on it. Also try and restore your iPod Classic if that does not work either.

  • I just purchased a 120gb iPod classic 6th generation from a friend. I have the latest iTunes installed and the software on the iPod is also current. My problem is whenever I'm syncing the iPod and iTunes freezes between the 250- 300th song...

    I just purchased a 120gb iPod classic 6th generation from a friend. I have the latest iTunes installed and the software on the iPod is also current. My problem is whenever I'm syncing the iPod and iTunes freezes between the 250- 300th song... I have to manually reset the iPod for the iTunes to run correctly, but then my music isn't added and iTunes tells me I have to restore the iPod... I've done this numerous times only to no avail... Someone please help!!!

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

    Hello! Not a problem, because you will get a Ipod Nano 1st generation as a replacement, not a new / latest generation.

    No. You can sell it or Apple will give you a recycling fee.

  • Building a 240gb IPOD classic 6th generation???

    I have been doing a lot of research and I haven't found an exact answer to my question. Right now I have a 6th generation 80GB ipod classic. I have run out of storage and I really need 240GB. I bought a rebuilt 240GB 7th generation Ipod from ebay a few days ago for ($274), I received it and I dont like the fit and finish of it. It looks like the wheel and faceplate are aftermarket replacements so it does not sit flush against the rear case and neither does the wheel to faceplate, there is an excessive gap around the circumference of the wheel and the faceplate, and the screen flickers at times, so I am going to return it. I primarily use my ipod for mountain biking and cycling so it gets exposed to sweat and rain. My 80GB has never failed under these conditions for 5+years, and I think this ebay version will fail very quickly.
    I would like to know what are all the parts needed to make a 240GB hard drive work in my 6th generation ipod classic. I know if I install a 240GB hard drive in my 6th generation ipod it will only read 128GB. So can I replace the logic board in my ipod with a 7th generation ipod? I can find the 7th generation logic boards for ($60+) on ebay, then buy the 240gb hard drive ($86) and 6th generation (thick)160GB rear cover ($10) new 850mAh battery ($10). That would be a $166 upgrade..... Is that all I would need? Would the logic board be a direct swap, or would I need a different connector, screen, etc? I would prefer to just modify my 6th generation ipod since I know it works and it seems like it could be the cheapest way, and I don't need two ipods so I feel like it would be a waste to buy another one.
    My other option is to buy a new 160GB 7th generation ipod classic ($230), and buy the 240gb hard drive ($86) and 6th generation (thick)160GB rear cover ($10). That would put me around $326....
    I would prefer not to take another gamble and buying another ipod off of ebay, so I would like to keep it to these two options.....  If buying a 7th generation is the only way, could I then put the 160gb hard drive in my 6th generation? Would it still only read 128gb max? Would the hard drive be the only thing I would need to swap? From what I read it appears all the thin (6th and 7th) ipod classics used the same hard drive connector. To make the 160gb hard drive work, would I again need a 7th generation logic board?
    Do I need a new headphone jack? Ive heard that it may need to be replaced but I dont remember for what ipod versions. Does this apply to my thin 6th generation, or the thin 7th, or neither?
    Could someone please give me a complete parts list for making a 240gb 6th generation AND a 240gb 7th generation. Thanks!

    You obviously know A LOT about this already.  I hear the "iPod classic" is known to be VERY difficult to pry open.  If your current iPod classic is working well, do you REALLY need more than 80GB of music when you go mountain biking.  If you replaced it with a new iPod classic, do you really need more than 160GB of music. 
    I have a smart playlist, where I start out with ALL of my music, but exclude things I don't usually want on my iPod, such as Holiday Music, Classical Music, Soundtrack Music, etc.  For my smaller capacity flash-based iPod, I have a smart playlist that starts with ALL of my music, then randomly selects a subset of songs that fits below the capacity limit of that iPod.  In both cases, I manage my iTunes library to fit the iPod, instead of making expensive and potentially damaging upgrades to my iPod to fit my iTunes library.
    I understand that some folks just like doing these upgrades for the sake of doing the upgrade, and I can certainly understand that...
    Here's another high-cool-factor approach.  Replace the hard drive with a standard Compact Flash card (Type II) on an adapter.  For example
    http://www.amazon.com/Komputerbay-128GB-Professional-Compact-Extreme/dp/B008O7N0 W6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
    (There is one customer review of it being used in an iPod.)
    It's expensive, but less than any of your total upgrade costs.  I have a much older 4th gen iPod with a Compact Flash card on an adapter, and here are the benefits I see.  It's significantly lighter than the same iPod with a hard drive, especially if it has a double-platter "thick" hard drive.  You can keep your iPod's sleek "thin" profile.  It uses less battery power, because no moving parts.  It is more shock resistant for the same reason, which I'm sure is an advantage for mountain biking.  There is no "hard drive spin-up" delay; songs always start playing instantly (and no faint hum and vibration when the hard drive is spinning).  I did not do any timing test, but I think it syncs faster.

  • How can I sync new songs when 6th generation ipod says syncing is complete but new songs added on itunes are not synced to ipod

    my new 6th generation synced fine the first time I added my cd's to itunes.  Thereafter, I added additional cd's which are on itunes but the message I receive is syncing is complete but they do not appear on my ipod.  Only the original cd's are still on the ipod  Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Just adding albums to iTunes does not mean they will be added automatically to your iPod. You can set it up that way, but it sounds like you do not.
    Under the music tab for the ipod, you can select what music, albums, artists and playlists can be sync'd to your ipod.
