  • Brand new iPod classic 160 gb won't show up in iTunes devices

    Brand new iPod classic 160 gb won't show up in iTunes devices. The iPod is fully charged, iTunes reckonises my iPod touch, iPad, iPhone 3G and iPhone 4, but not the iPod classic, although it says the iPod is connected it doesn't register in iTunes.

    I purchased a new iPod Classic 160 GB in August 2013 and it (the iPod Classic device) would not show in iTunes though it did show in the Apple Finder. I tried EVERYTHING numerous times including resetting the iPod, updating iTunes and trying everything in the book and in on-line tips. Nothing worked and I was about to give up when I tried using the Apple iPod Classic cable that actually came in the iPod Classic box. It worked!!! Conclusion? Dont just use any old Apple cable eg. from a iPhone or whatever; TRY the USB cable that came with your iPod Classic!!! I have 2009 iMac with the latest Mac OS BTW.

  • My Ipod Classic 160 GB will charge but is not recognized on my macbook or in itunes. Just began suddenly

    I purchased my Ipod Classic 160 GB about a year ago new and never had any issues until lately. I recently updated my itunes to the newest version and my Ipod seemed fine and didn't have any trouble. About a week later my Ipod was no longer recognized by Itunes or my Mac book. The catch is, that my Ipod is still able to charge but never shows any signs of connection besides the charging screen. I have no clue where to begin.
    Any help would be awesome! Thanks

    Have you updated your iPod and iTunes sofware?
    most cases, iTunes can play these high quality songs, which is meant for newer mobile devices like  iPhones, iPod Touch, nano and iPad, which the older iPod cant play, but only playable with iPod classic sofware version 2.0.4
    most likely it is an incompatible song format, read this Apple support article.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1334?viewlocale=en_USet
    If  your iPod software is version 1.1.2, then you have to use lower quality format.
    Can you select the problematic song, and Advance -> create iPod version

    In ITunes,
    my library was about 55 G. I have a Ipod Classic 160 G. I synchronised my IPod
    on ITunes and I checked the tag Convert
    songs with a throughput greater than 128 kbit / s ACC before
    synchronisation I took maybe 6 hours to synchronise, and afterward my library was
    about 42 G. All my tunes, more than 9500, seem still be in library. Most of my
    library is from music purchased in ITunes store along with copies on my old CDs
    an some MP3 files from other discs. This is good for me but what happened?

    This is good for me but what happened?
    I don't understand the question...  Did something happen that you think should not have happened?
    It took such a long time to sync, because iTunes was converting songs with bit-rate higher than 128 kbps "on the fly" while syncing.  That takes much longer than just syncing the songs. 
    Also, since you have so much space on your iPod (compared to the size of your music library), you should not use that "convert to 128 kbps AAC" setting.  For songs that are encoded higher than 128 kbps, the conversion reduces sound quality.  You may want to uncheck Sync Music and Apply, to remove the songs on the iPod currently, and then sync it all again without the "convert" setting checked this time.

  • Will charger that comes with iPhone 3GS charge my new iPod classic 160?

    I have an iPhone 3GS; which comes with a charger. I recently purchased a new iPod classic 160; which doesn't come with a charger.
    Will the iPhone charger charge my iPod without damaging it?
    It appears to work (shows it's charging), but I want to make sure they're compatible.
    Thanks.

    Yes, I have the same question- the old classic came with the charger (the rectangular white one). We travel alot and don't take our laptops with us so we need to charge ipods with chargers. So we can still use the one that works with our old classic or the new one, right?

  • IPod Classic 160 - unplayable mp3s

    Hello to all
    I recently purchased an iPod Classic 160 GB
    On iTunes I have about 45 GB of music including mp3 recorded by my concerts
    The iPod can not play some of these mp3, whereas other mp3 players have no problem to play these songs.
    iTunes on my MacBook Pro works correctly with all the mp3.
    When I connect the iPod via bluetooth to my car, the car appears on the display "iPod error" (which does not happen if the songs mentioned above are not present on the device)
    Do you have ideas? Suggestions?
    Bye

    Howdy spacecraft24,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    From what I gather, your iPod classic isn’t recognized by iTunes on your PC. Take a look at the article linked below and try running through the troubleshooting suggestions that it provides.

  • "This game cannot be launched error" iPod Classic 160 Gb

    I have an iPod Classic, 160 Gb. I purchased Sudoku from the iTunes store.
    The game downloaded to my computer; and it shows in the iPod Games tab.
    It appears to sync to the iPod, but in the iPod's games menu there is no icon for the game (just the black and white dice). When I try to play the game, I get the "This game cannot be launched error" with the prompt to reinstall the game.
    Are there any fixes for this? I've tried all the troubleshooting in the support docs, and nothing seems to work.

    Thanks for your suggestions; however none of them worked.
    I contacted technical support, and the only suggestion they had for me was to request a refund - because for some reason, unknown to them, the game doesn't work on my iPod.
    I'm not generally a ranter - I try to be polite to people, in person, on the phone, online - wherever, but I have to say that in my experience, Apple seems to have the worst support of any company with which I have ever dealt.
    After being told no less than eight times, by five different representatives from iTunes support, I was referred to technical support, who told me in essence, "tough cookies" (although the representative certainly didn't say that, he was quite polite).
    I had to double check that I was talking to "technical" support.
    I've been a faithful iPod user for many years; but this experience has certainly soured me. I will have to think long and hard before buying another Apple product if the support I have experienced is indicative of a typical support instance.
    Thanks again for your suggestions.

  • I connected my brand new iPod Classic 160 GB to my brand new Sony home entertainment system through the headphone jack (to the audio line in). The volume is ridiculously low. Can somebody help me out here?

    I connected my brand new iPod Classic 160 GB to my brand new Sony home entertainment system through the headphone jack (to the audio line in). The volume is ridiculously low. Can somebody help me out here?

    Make sure the volume on the iPod is turned up fully, since this will affect what you hear through the stereo.
    Make sure Volume Limit is set to full. (From Main Menu, Settings/Volume Limit)
    If you purchased your iPod inside the EU (European Union), then the maximum volume from the headphone jack is lower than elsewhere in the world. If this is the case, buy yourself a 30-pin Dock Connector to 3.5mm jack lead, such as the one linked here...
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Decrescent-Connector-Stereo-Auxiliary-iPhone/dp/B007NIE5 EE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386012456&sr=8-1&keywords=30+pin+to+3.5mm
    That connector will take a higher volume out (than the European Union's output) and that will be louder (and hopefully loud enough) through your stereo.

  • HT3798 Ipod Classic 160 7th Generation - I don't see any settings in the menu.  I want to shuffle songs.

    I just purchased I IPOD Classic 160 gig 7th generation and when I look at my menu, I have no settings listed.  I want to set it to shuffle mode within a genre.  Do I need to have this connected to the itunes software for this to show up?

  • Ipod classic 160 , iMac tiger 10.4.11 , itunes 9.1 not syncing & freezes up

    Im ready to yank my freakin hair out. I have called and talked with itunes support and got nowhere. I have downloaded , upgraded , restored and even returned 2 ipod classics to see if they were the problem.
    When I sync it gets to about 1-3 gb and freezes everything (ipod , itunes , computer) I have put up with everyone acting like its something Im doing. It always ends up saying ( cant read or write to the ipod ) This is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!! I have 15,500 songs and cant use them mobile at all, this *** after my girlfriend spending $280.
    What is going on?????? , and is there going to be an itunes up date for this sooner than later or should I return it before its to late? A Best Buy saleman said something about many complaints about this and that I should be able to expect an update soon... so I have a new 160 sitting in a box Im afraid to open.

    I'm not sure that if this is exactly the same problem you're having but it sounds similiar...
    I have just purchased a new ipod classic 160, and have attempted to sync it with my itunes 9.1 library. It managed to sync about 3 Gb and then an error message came up saying "Attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." I then tried manually transferring the music and was successful with some of the music, but with other tracks the same error message came up. I performed a restore on the iPod, as I initially formatted it on a PC, not my Mac, and thought this might be the problem. Unfortunately this didn't fix it. As far as I can see there is no pattern to the tracks that it won't load on (well not to my eyes anyway). I would be grateful for any suggestions as I'm off traveling in a few days time without my laptop and can't imagine myself without my music collection!

  • Discussion: backing up or restoring from my Ipod Classic 160

    Recently I had a hard disk problem on my PC and had a new disk installed as H drive. I use Windows XP home edition and H is now the start up drive.
    The previous hard disk remains as C drive.
    I have had major problems restoring the backed up music from an external hard drive that I thought had my entire music library backed up. But apparently not so.
    Anyway, right now I am satisfied that my Ipod Classic 160 has my entire music library (approx 12000 songs) on it and is working satisfactorily. (I purchased the Ipoc Classic 160 earlier this year to replace a defective Ipod Classic 120 and at that time the Itunes library synched perfectly with the new Ipod.
    Similarly, when I open Itunes it shows my music library and playlists as they should be.
    I have purchased a third party software (CopyTrans) with the view of restoring my Ipod and its contents and hopefully again synchronising it with Itunes.
    But I am not sure the best way to go. I dread the thought of doing something that could compromise the data on my Ipod Classic 160 because it seems the only place where my entire music library is intact.
    I can't explain how or why files are missing from my hard disk (H drive) or external back up (J drive).
    I've contacted Apple support and they have been most helpful as far as they can be. They can't assist with advice of getting the data back from my Ipod Classic 160 and again synchronising with Itunes.
    I am conscious of the old saying that a little knowledge is sometimes worse than none at all and am rather nervous about what I need to do so any advice or assistanct would be appreciated.
    Thanks in anticipation

    I think I know what you're trying to do, and I know how to do it, but I'm not entirely sure. if you want the songs, pictures, etc. that are on your iPod to transfer to your computer, there is a way of doing that simply through the computer its self. without buying anything. it's entirely free and legal. and then if I'm understanding correctly, you have an external hard drive that you want all of those songs on. so if I were to tell you how to take the songs from your iPod, put them on your computer, and then move them from your computer to an external hard drive, would that answer your question? because, if so, I can tell you how to do that, but if thats not the answer you're looking for, then I can't be sure exactly what the question is that you're asking. sorry, hope I can be of help..

  • My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode and won't turn off, itunes doesn't recognize it - ¿how can I make it work again?

    My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode.  I responds to nothing.  iTunes doesn't recognize it.  It doesn't sync.  I've tried to restore and got error 1429.  Now it just stays in disc mode and won't turn off.  I'm keeping it connected to the charger so it doesn't go dead.  Is there anything I can do to resurrect my pod?

    To get out of disk mode do a iPod Hard Reset.
    Toggle the Hold switch till you dont see the red mark.
    Press Menu and Center buttons simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    See this Apple support Article on the 5Rs.

  • IPod classic displays 'No music' after sync, HDD problem? Geschiedenis • Verwijder  So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn't find any files on the iPod anymore. H

    So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn’t find any files on the iPod anymore. However when you look in the settings it displays that ~roughly 90 GB free space is available. Seen the fact that I had about 60 gigs of music this doesn’t seem like a coincidence and I think my music is still somewhere on the ipod but the HDD isn’t recognizing it anymore.
    I’ve tried resetting it, and resetting it to factory settings, which didn’t work. When connected to a desktop it won’t be recognized by iTunes, it displays an error message that the iPod cannot be read and that I have to reset it to factory settings.
    I’ve spent some time researching this problem yesterday and I ran into a myriad of vaguely similar problems didn’t really offer any help. Currently I’m thinking that formatting the iPod might work, and restoring the software afterwards. However this is a rather bold strategy so I’d like to consult you here first.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi turingtest2,
    Thank you for the info, with formatting my iPod I managed to connect it to iTunes again.
    However..in the page you linked to there is a section about how transferring large amounts of data can dump your library. That seems to be the problem in this case. It won't even allow me to transfer more than 2 gigabytes of music per sync, if I go higher it will dump everything again. Having over >60 GB of music in my library, this is disastrous to say the least.
    Do you think that there is any other solution besides the method you mentioned involving Smart Playlists?

  • Ipod Classic 160 6th g. doesn't sync w/Imac g5 non intel OS 10.4.11. This is a replacement for same ipod which was stolen recently. That pod worked fine with Itunes 9! Now this pod says it only works with Itunes 10.7. ***!!!! Why has Apple screwed up?

    My ipod classic 160 6th gen. was recently stolen. It had 3000 tunes on it and it synced perfectly with Itunes 9 on my Imac G5 non intel OS 10.4.11. So I recently bought same model and guess what, it doesn't sync at all. Now message says it only works with Itunes 10.7 and up. I certainly cant afford to buy a new intel based Mac and I really dont need a new pc. It feels like Apple has dropped the ball on its long time users and tough luck to you and all the $$$$$$$ spent on downloading songs and buying ipods over the years! I AM SO ANGRY THAT I CANNOT BRING MY MUSIC WITH ME ANYMORE. I dont know if there is any solution to this except being extorted to upgrade to new tech! I have been trying to get answers to this issue but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a tech genius so extremely techy solutions will be in vane.

    one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file.  Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing  even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
    This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer.   Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar.     Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
    Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
    Ideas?

  • IPod Classic 160 GB doesn't work for audiobooks in BMW X3 F25

    Hello
    I have been owning a 160 GB iPod classic for a while now. I have newly acquired a BMW X3 (2012 Model, F25). The problem is that when listening to audiobooks, the iPod doubles or triples the speed (and pitch) when I return to the car after having parked. So it runs fine at first, then I stop and park the car and return and then it sounds like Donald Duck is reading to me ;-)
    The car comes with the USB interface to which once can connect media players like the iPod. I am using the original BMW "Y-shape" cable that has once connection on the iPod that then splits into an USB and a 3.5mm jack. I also tried cables from Belkin and the cable that came with the iPod, but all to no avail.
    It is not the Audiobook faster/slower function of the ipod that is activated because that would not change pitch, it's like "the record is turning too fast", you can see the seconds in the car's display movig much faster than at a second's pace. The iPod subsequently retains this increased speed even if not connected to the car anymore and can only be slowed down again by resetting it.
    I onw an older iPod photo 80 GB which does not exhibit this behavior.
    The iPod classic 160 is at the latest software level and so is the car.
    Any ideas?
    Regards
    Chris
