Ipod classic 160 TV out

I find it annoying that we have to use a dock to get the TV out signal to work. I can no longer use my video player with an ipod dock on planes. Back to trying to watch on ipod screen. It is annoying that when apple improves a product, they sometimes take away a really good feature. I'd give up the fancy artwork on the screen to not have to use a dock. Frankly two new ipod 80 might have been a smarter choice for me. Most Hotel rooms don,t have the connections for the A/V cable.
Anyone else troubled by this? I've requested a software update to fix this.

Maybe leave Apple your feedback on this:

  • In Car iPod Classic 160 cutting out after about 2 mins

    I have a Kenwood KDC6537u car headunit with the KCA iP200 cable and an iPod classic 160gb. Everything seems fine and runs well for about 2 mins when I get a 'iPod Err' display. The display on the iPod goes back from the 'Kenwood' screen to the normal iPod screen. Switching the unit off and on restarts the iPod only to stop again after another two minutes or so. Is there something that I need to reset on the iPod to stop this. I've upgraded the headunit to the latest available from kenwood so I'm now stuck.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Further to the description I have done two journeys where this didn't happen and all was well. This makes for even more frustration. Kenwood can't offer anything other than to reset the iPod which didn't work. They also suggest there may be a fault in part of the 'chain' of bits but I don't have the capability to check - I only have one of each bit so can't compare.
    Anyone have any suggestions? Please?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 will not synch with Itunes

    Message from Itunes when I connect Ipod Classic 160 is "Software required for communicating with the Ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes" I have reinstalled 7.6 several times and tried 7.5 but nothing works. I have tried the 5R's. Nothing. When I connect the Ipod to another older Seanix with Itunes 7.5, it works. Can anybody out there solve this problem. I have been going round and round for 10 hours. Cheers.

  • Ipod classic 160 not visible in tunes 12

    My perfectly functioning ipod classic 160 gb is invisible to itunes. It shows on the ipod screen it is connected and it shows on the imac screen as an ipod. In itunes it does not exist. It worked perfectly with itunes before the upgrade. I have seen the device bar and my iphone 5s displays there normally and functions perfectly. When only the ipod is plugged in, there are no devices in the bar and the itunes menu for device is greyed out.

    If you have not, disconnect all USB devices (including any hubs).  You can leave standard keyboard/mouse connected, if used.  With iTunes running, connect iPod to a direct USB port by itself.  This is to rule out a problem a conflict between connected USB devices, or a lack of power on the USB bus for all connected USB devices.  If you already tried that, or it does not help...
    Since the iPod appears initially in iTunes, the problem may be a "feature" that recent Windows PCs, with Windows 8 and USB 3.0 ports, seem to have.  It is an "energy saver" setting that turns off full power to the USB port if the connected device is deemed "inactive" by Windows.  When you connect the iPod, iTunes does its initial sync for a few seconds.  That's when the iPod is seen in iTunes.  After the sync, iTunes unmounts the iPod's disk.  If Windows considers the iPod to be inactive and turns off full power to the USB port, that is when the iPod disappears from iTunes.
    If this is the cause, you may be able to go into Windows Control Panels and turn OFF this feature (so USB ports always stay at full power).  If that does not work, or you can't find such as setting...
    Alternately, you can Enable disk use on the iPod.  With disk use enabled, the iPod's disk remains mounted by the system until you Eject the iPod in iTunes, so the port remains at full power.  This may be difficult, if you don't have enough time to click on the iPod in iTunes and check the box for Enable disk use on the iPod Summary settings screen (and click Apply).  I'm assuming you have your iPod set to automatically sync your entire iTunes music library.  If so, you can extend the iPod's initial sync (when you connect it) by making a significant change to your iTunes music library (before you connect it).  If you happen to have some music CDs that you need to import into iTunes, that would work.  Add new songs to your iTunes library, and then connect iPod.  If you use the Sync only checked items setting, you can uncheck a large number of songs in your music library, connect to sync, then recheck the songs, connect to sync.  Making iTunes sync a few dozen songs during the initial sync should give you enough time to go to the iPod's Summary settings screen, and check the box for Enable disk use (and click Apply).
    If that does not work (or the iPod still disappears quickly even when there are changes to sync), the cause something else.  FYI - It's not because iTunes 12 does not support discontinued iPods.  I have an 3rd gen "classic" iPod from 2003, and it works fine with iTunes 12.

  • Problems in compatibility of iPod radio remote with iPod classic 160 GB

    Hi all,
    I have just bought a iPod classic 160 GB and want to buy a iPod radio remote as well. However, after I have done my research, I find the radio remote is not compatible with iPod classic perfectly…
    Do you think it is a good idea for me to wait a new radio remote (maybe) or later Apple will release update?
    Thanks

    I use my Radio Remote with a Classic; it does everything that it had with my 5G-Video EXCEPT it will not allow me to set radio stations, either with the Radio Remote's control or the iPod's control.
    I have spoken with an iPod specialist (Apple Care) and according to him Apple has acknowleged less than 100% compatibility/functionality with the Radio Remote and the Classics. One of the reasons, he stated, was that several 5G-Video iPods were "getting fried" when the Remote was not fully connected to the docking-port. So Apple has decided to reengineer the port [for better a connection, I gather]. What puzzles me the most about the new generation of iPods is why they were rolled out without warning customers that their Car-Charger, Video Player, dock, AV Cable, or APPLE'S OWN Remote will not play nice with each other!
    This go around, it's find out the hard way.

  • Ipod classic 160 gigs, only 150 gigs free when arrived?

    so my empty, new ipod classic 160
    reads only 150 gigs free
    now i know hard drives lose a few gigs in the translation
    from retail packaging number, to actually available gigs
    but 10 gigs?
    what gives?

    Hi Dr. Rek,
    Actually, losing 11 GB with the 160 GB iPod Classic makes sense.
    It's the same binary system and same percentage lost (about 8%, I believe) as all of the previous iPods were. It just seems worse when several GBs are lost in the conversion, simply due to the fact that this is a bigger hard drive we're dealing with.
    Think of the 27.72 GB vs/ 30 GB discrepancy, for example; 92.4% (total storage space gain) is the same rate of as it's always been, just with a 160 GB model, it turns out as about 11 GB lost.
    So, it's normal for your computer (and on your iPod, too) to read the GB space as about 149 GB instead of 160; if you calculate it, it's actually the same percentage, but not a similar amount that we might be used to, since the iPod's hard drives are just getting larger in storage space.
    I hope that all makes sense!

  • IPod classic 160 last effort before returning it...

    After my Archos PMA400 packed in - it was merely 5 years old... sigh ... I made the horrible mistake to replace it with an iPod classic 160. Guess what...
    After updating iTunes and the iPod firmware to the latest releases, it still won't sync more than 20 songs in a sync.
    Turned off covers, turned off mountable volumes, but it made things worse..
    Anything else I have to try before leaving the Apple universe once and for all?
    Honestly, I am deeply disappointed. Visited the London Apple Shop only to be told I need an appointment for talking to an enginner... well London is a two hour trip for me and being treated like that is a PITA...!
    Apple, get this sorted out!

    Here is possibly a strange solution for you....
    I noticed that when I first tried to sync my 160 I had some issues...
    Upon looking at the device, I noticed the clock never set itself.... Since you have 2 smart devices talking to one another, some times they do need to know they have the correct time etc to communicate...
    After manually setting my iPod Classic's date and time things have been a cinch and no issues...
    Give that a try or see what the clock says in your ipod... Also note that I had to restore after setting the clock because the first syncs really crapped out and windows was always complaining about possibly bad items on the disc...
    Good Luck Man!

  • 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!

  • Redchair software's Anapod corrupts ipod classic 160 on PC?

    Hello. Does anyone use Redchairsoftware's Anapod Explorer on their PC? I find that I can use it to add songs to the ipod classic 160, but once I disconnect, no songs are found on the ipod. And then when I connect to itunes, it says a restore is necessary, leaving me with an empty ipod. I was hoping someone out there might have gone through the same thing. Thank you for your time.

    Welcome to the discussions, disintegration79.
    It's been reported that iTunes alternative applications will not work with the new iPods due to some changes being made to how files are stored.
    http://www.tuaw.com/2007/09/15/6th-gen-ipods-wont-work-with-linux-winamp/
    There's currently no information on their website, but this statement from their front page
    +"Anapod supports all iPod models available in the market."+
    is most certainly false.

  • 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

  • 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?
