IPod Classic 160GB audio still there even at zero volume

Hi there,
Unfortunately I haven't found any topic here that's dealing with my problem on the first gen 160GB iPod Classic. Yesterday I realized that there's something wrong with its volume control. Even when I shift down the volume to zero there's still audio hearable (no matter if it's an audiobook, music, a podcast or a video clip) there at a fairly decent volume level (not nearly close to the sound level of whispering, by far louder).
First I tried to do a Hardware Reset on the iPod but this didn't help me a bit - the problem is still there.
So, I put all my hopes in that forum - actually I prefer listening to my audio books on a really low volume but that's not really possible right now...
Greetings from Austria,
Stefan

Same here! Please Apple, fix this issue in the next update! This should be no problem I think!

TS1382 I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it back up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that

I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still showing 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it backed up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that memory or to get it the music back, there is approximately over 1400 songs on it?

What is the memory being used by, is it Other? If it is, that means the iPod can no longer read the music, so it has put it all in "Other".
The usual fix for this is to allow the iPod to Sync with its iTunes Library. If that doesn't work, the next option is to Restore the iPod using the Restore command in iTunes, on the Device/Summary pane.
Unless you are very (very) lucky, I suspect that you are going to have to Restore your iPod. Restoring will remove everything form the iPod and put back onto it only what it finds in your iTunes Library, which you say is currently empty.
If you have to rebuild your Library after this issue, by adding all the music back again, this is going to be hard to hear, but for the future, you may want to consider always having a backup of your library. The easiset way to back the Library up is;
if the Library is small enough, burn it to a DVD, as digital files, not a "music CD".
If your Library is too large for a DVD, buy yourself an external hard drive and copy the Library onto the drive. Remember to update the backup every so often.

Hi, Just bought an ipod classic 160gb and i notice that when I turn the volume down all the way, music is still heard, i.e. I cannot turn it down lower than a certain volume. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

I've got a feeling that's the way it is. I know that if I turn the volume down all the way, I can still hear the music very softly -- which is great for listening when I have a migraine!

My iPod Classic 160GB is recognized by computer, and goes through sync process, but still has old stuff...

My iPod Classic 160GB is recognized by computer, and goes through sync process, but still has old stuff...
I feel like there must be an issue with the library location, but I don't know how to correct that. My Dad recently wiped my computer and deleted Windows XP and installed Windows 7. I don't know what he did, but my iTunes library is still intact it seems. However, I've added quite a few podcasts that I'd like to sync to my iPod. When I connect it, it goes through the sync process, but ends quickly and says its safe to disconnect. None of the new podcasts are on there though.
Also, there was something really wrong with my iTunes account. When I went to buy something from the store, it wouldn't accept my password, and when I went to reset it, it wouldn't recognize my birthdate and month (I had the correct username). I ended up creating a new account and purchasing a song. This time, it did sync the new song onto my iPod, but not the podcasts I'm trying to sync.
As far as the library location, is there anything particular that has to be included in that library in order for it to be recognized by iTunes when you sync? Awhile back (before my Dad worked on my computer), I had changed the folder location to my external hard drive, but in researching, I saw that I still had in another drive some folders with music that is currently on my iPod. So it looks like I have some stuff on two different drives... Maybe this has something to do with it not syncing right?
I did check, and my Firewall doesn't have iTunes blocked.
As you can see, I'm not very experienced with all of this... Sorry for the confusion. If you are interested in helping me and have any questions, please let me know.
I'm hoping someone will be able to help me... I desperately want to be able to listen to my podcasts, as I'm a stay-at-home Mom of 4 little ones, and the podcasts are kind of an "escape" for me when the children are napping or playing. :-)
Thank you in advance for your help!

Oh my goodness!! I am absolutely thrilled right now B-rock!! I don't know how I missed it, but when I went back to change the setting like you mentioned, I noticed that the very top box that says "Sync Podcasts" wasn't checked! I have no idea why... But my heart started to race when I checked that box and all of a sudden it started syncing all my podcasts!! It's gonna take a long time (I have 385 of them!), but I am just so happy you helped me with this problem. Thank you SO much!

Transfer all of your content to the computer:

Then try turning the device off and on again. I'd leave it off for 10-15 minutes, but that is up to you:

If the item is still there, you may need to restore the device:

Hope that helps . Worst case scenario, you may need to write into iTunes support to see if they can also help!!

My Ipod classic, 160gb is full. I am still buying new music. How can L expand my storage spaces..

My ipod classic, 160gb is full up. How can I expand? a) buy a new and bigger storage ipod or get a 2nd library and a 2nd ipod?

ITunes 11.1.5 says my iPod Classic (160gb) full when it is not!

I want to say that after iTunes (11.1.3?) my iPod Classic (160gb) will not sync anymore.
I have recently updated iTunes to latest version of 11.1.5 with no luck!
In short, I am using Windows 7 and cannot get my iPod to sync anymore.
I keep getting the error message that my iPod is full and cannot be synced unless I clear some space...and when I say 'space' it wants
another 20gb free to just add a few new albums that I downloaded.
The problem is that I still have 15gb free and IT IS NOT FULL. With a full capacity of 148gb, I have used ~130gb. Even in the info bar it shows the correct usage of space on my iPod and shows that there IS free space.
None of it makes any sense and it is completely in error on behalf of Apple.
Also, I am no novice to PC's and have tried everything short of re-installing iTunes, which I refuse to do.
My current PC build is and has the latest software and hardware available and everything up-to-date.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If you need anymore info from me then just let me know.
Many thanks

First of all, let's get a few things straight.
me too said:
I purposely created several different threads because I wasn't sure which discussion to enter in and it is my opinion that it fit into any of these categories.
Actually, you posted the same thing into the iPod Classic forum four times, and one additional thread in (if I recall correctly) the iTunes for Windows forum. That's impolite; at best it simply clutters up the forum with unnecessary threads, which can cause other people's valid posts to be missed in the mass; and at worst, you'll get responses to more than one of your threads which will confuse, not just you, but anyone trying to help you. I've seen it happen.
I'll ask again, please refrain from multiple posting.
me too said:
I am also aware that the "other" is my album art.
No it is not.
There is always a small amount of Other on an iPod, but large amounts of Other indicates data that has become corrupted and cannot be used by the iPod.
Your screenshot, which finally confirms the actual message you are getting, suggests that despite what you may believe, you are trying to Sync at lest 22GB of media to your iPod. One album in .wav form would only take up about 700MB, so you have to work out what else is set to Sync. Check the photos pane (just along from Summary) to make sure that there isn't an album of photos set to Sync. Also check the other panes as well, for Podcasts, videos etc. that you may not have realised are set to Sync.
If all else fails, start taking music off your iPod, so that this unknown media can be put on. That way, at least you will be able to see what is being put on that you didn't know about. Then, you can take that off and put back on only what you want.
Let me just make a final suggestion: your comment ...
"None of it makes any sense and it is completely in error on behalf of Apple."
... isn't going to help you in any way. Stop blaming Apple and look for the actual problem. Once you find the problem, and can therefore see the cause, then - if you must - you can blame someone.

IPod classic 160GB not detected under Windows Vista

Hi,
I was trying to find something on that problem, but obviously all the problems with iPod and Vista are slightly different.
Here's my story:
Toshiba Portege R400
Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit
iPod Classic 160GB
iTunes 7.6.0.29
USB 2.0
When I try to connect iPod to the computer NOTHING happens. Not that it starts searching for drivers or something like that. NOTHING.
The same iPod works fine with another computer but there's XP. I haven't tried it with different Vista so far.
USB ports are fine cause other devices like mouse or headphones work fine.
What else... I re-installed iTunes 3 times so far, didn't help. I also have the latest updates for Vista (at least Windows Update says that).
I know there are some workarounds to point different folder to look for drivers etc. But I don't even have the opportunity, cause nothing happens.
I've noticed one thing: when the iPod is plugged-in and I turn on the comp then, the iPod display flashes. It doesn't say it's connected but it reacts. And that's all. Later it comes back to normal "not working".
Have anyone encountered similar problem?
Regards
Tomek

I have the same problem and I have Windows XP on 2 machines with iTunes. I plug the iPod in and it is not detected at all.
I plugged it into my girlfriends laptop (also XP) without iTunes and it is detected and works fine.
I have uninstalled iTunes and that does not help, it's like the iPod Classic 160GB is invisible on my 2 main machines...

My iPod Classic 160GB has lost all its music and won't sync or restore

My iPOD Classic 160GB has spontaneously lost all its music - approx. 5000 songs. One minute they were all there, now they're all gone - display says "No Music" although memory still shows 23GB in use? I tried to re-sync on iTunes but the iPod won't sync (error 1415) or restore (error 1439). As things currently stand,my iPod is just a very expensive paperweight - please can anybody help with this?

hi lindsay
i understand you have all your music still in your itunes library?
Try the basic resetting of your ipod,also try another usb port.
Have you tried ,when ipod is connected,click on your ipods name,for example lindsays ipod,another window should open up and you can see summary,click on the sync box ,bottom right hand corner,see if this helps.
Or you could ,when you have itunes open,click for updates.
hope this may help you
thanks madforit

Cover flow on ipod classic 160gb 6th gen

I was just given an ipod classic 160gb 6th gen, it the previous owners music on it, so I hooked it up to itunes & restored it & updated it to factory settings & put my name on it. I noticed in cover flow mode, that albums are doubled, one for the entire album, then the album cover again for individual songs. when I go to album view, the albums show up ok, there are no double ups there. I also notice when I scroll down to the now playing with the split screen, it comes up blank with no cover art. I had an 80gb 5th gen ipod & everything seemed ok. I wiped it clean with a restore as well to start fresh. It took about an hour & a half to sync over my music library from my external hard drive to my new 160 gb 6th gen ipod. It seems to play ok, so far, I just got it today, & I have been playing it on & off to try it out.
I am running itunes 9.0.1.8. Also when I plug in my ipod, itunes ops up with an update message for me to update, I click ok for the update, but nothing seems to happen, so I do not know if itunes has updated or not.

Ok, should I try the trialing X, for those persistent multi covers that do not respond to adjusting the track names as first suggested? I went to your tips page & saw the graphic for that. Is it ok to just leave the Xs in or must they be removed?
iTunes tries to be "smart" and only updates the tag if it thinks you've changed something. Adding the X is a temporary measure to force iTunes to acknowlege that something has changed and thereby hopefully merge the album. Once it's done you can get rid of the unecessary trailing Xs.
I also looked at your image for handling multi discs, will this group multi discs together in cover flow?
Yes, that's the point.
& when one is playing a multi disc set, will the ipod just go straight to the next disc (disc 2) in playback as though it were one single album?
Yes.
or will playback stop at the last track of disc 1 & then one would have to select disc 2 to play.
No.
Will the multi disc set still come up as 2 different discs to selct to play? I may not want to start with disc 1.
No. You can always chose which track to start playing.
One of the albums I was having trouble with multi covers was part of a 2 disc set, disc 1 was credited to the main artist, but had guest artists for 1/2 the tracks, disc 2 was by the same artist with no guest artists. I have now gotten disc 1 to show as a single cover in cover flow by checking off part of a compilation in the info panel, but it does not appear next to disc 2 in cover flow.
Again setting *Part of a compilation" is the wrong approach. Set *Part of a compilation* to No, put your guest artist info. into the track titles (or any other scheme you choose) and make sure that the Artist value is consistent for all tracks.
on an off note, I notice when I press my ipod button or navigate any of its features, there is a slight grinding noise, I can hear the hard drive, when I bring it close to my ear, it sounds like a chewing mouse is this ok/normal to hear slight noises? it seems to be functioning alright. It is pretty responsive.
Yes, the noise from disc activity is normal. My iPod lives in a silcone sleeve which probably muffles it a bit and most of the time I'll have already have music playing so I'm rarely conscious of the noise of hard drive activity but it is there.

Problem with my iPod classic 160gb - making funny noises, and no download

Hi, At the same point every time i try to put music on my ipod classic 160gb, it begins to make a funny noise, and itunes and the ipod freezes. I have to disconnect it unproperly, and the message "The ipod disk could not be read from or written to", but my old music still remains. So i tried to restore the ipod on my macbook, but i still have the problem.
This is the 4th Ipod classic 160gb i have had, and there has been a harddisk problem with all of them, so this could be the problem, but the funny click-clack sound is new to this one.
Anybody in here have experience with such kind of problems?
Hope to get the problem solved soon.
Oliver Nash, DK.

Unfortunately, when a hard drive starts clicking that means it's going bad. The mechanism is having trouble reading the drive. Since the iPod is mostly just a harddrive and a battery I have a feeling that this is your problem.
watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMm6c3fr-fU
about 25ss in is where the clicking starts. If it sounds like that, but softer and more muffled since it is a smaller drive that is being enclosed then I think you might be SOL. Maybe if you're iPod is still under warranty you can get a credit and go for a touch and avoid moving parts all together?

Playlist on iPod Classic 160GB are empty

Something strange is happening on my brand new iPod Classic 160GB. I followed the instruction to install and sync my iPod with the newest iTunes 11.0.2.26 on market. The sync went all fine, but when I want to choose a playlist, for example the playlist "Hip-Hop" on my iPod it's shown all empty (0 songs)! When I'm searching a song on the iPod which it must be listed in this playlist, the song is found without a problem. It seems that all songs are synchronized correctly, but there is a bug with the visualization of some playlists. I note: Not all playlists are affected from this problem and on the iTunes in the chapter "songs on iPod" the songs are all listed correctly.
I tried to make a restore, but the problem is still the same. A sync from one playlist (by choosing manually the playlist) it hasn't helped as well.
Anyone have some suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help ;-).

I found the problem !!! I had many smart playlist with a rule that was -> "Album - is - "empty"". It seems that the new iTunes this kind of "empty rule" would not accept. I had to add a new rule -> "Playlist - is - Music". Now it shows all the songs on the iPod.
It seems to be an Apple Bug on iTunes. I hope they can resolve this problem.
