IPod classic 30 gb no sound problem.

I have an old ipod classic 30gb. Anytime I try to play it, it only produces sound in only 1 ear. The other ear is completely deaf. I tried my headphones on other stuff and they work perfectly fine. I've tried the 5 R's, but no progress. Its fully charged. I have no clue what to do now. Anyone help?

Sounds like a problem with the jack, I had the same problem with my 160GB. If you're within your warranty the apple store may replace it, if not they might tell you to send it to a third party for repair, that's what they told me.

  • Ipod Classic A/V Component Cable problem

    Hi guys,
    I'm having trouble with my brand new, latest generation, Ipod Classic 160GB with tv out A/V component cable.
    When I plug it on my tv I get a vertical split image with some color distortion. Sound is ok, though.
    Funny part is that I also own a 2nd generation ipod touch and the cable work fine with it.
    Please help me out! I've searched the entire internet and couldn't find nothing regarding this problem yet

    This is probably a long shot but:
    Are you getting both channels of sound? I know this sounds ludicrous, but a friend of mine had a third-party cable and it seems the colour coded sleeves - red, white and yellow - on the AV plugs were mixed up so that video was coming through one of the audio plugs. The upshot was that he got one channel of audio and video sash until he tried different combinations of plugging the cables into the ports.

  • IPod Classic 6th Gen - Distorted sound :-(

    Hey folks, my friends iPod Classic 80gb 6th Generation iPod has a crappy distorted sound when tunes are played from it.
    He sent it away to get fixed thinking it would be the headphone jack that was the problem - they got back to him and said that it was the Logic board at fault, and charged over £79.99 +VAT for this repair.
    When it came back, all seemed to work okay, except a very short battery life.
    A week later, the iPod froze with no backlight (the menu was still visible but not reacting to any button presses)
    Nothing happened when the charger was plugged in, so we held the Menu Button + the Select button, and it rebooted successfully however the orginal problem came back of distorted sound....:-(
    Very unhappy as £79.99 was a lot to pay for it be broken again so soon.
    Can anyone shed any light onto why this may of happened?
    Was he right by saying it was the logic board at fault?
    Cheers

    I haD the same issue, and was thoroughly ticked off until doing some research and then trying couple things.
    I was able to change the volume limit, that WAS set at half.  I adjusted it to max volume, set a lock passcode, and away I drove.
    Then, upon hitting "play", I began to get a little ticked off.  I realized after a few minutes, I couldn't hear anything playing.
    It was so quiet- and I-95 is noisy, with me regretting buying another Apple product, after is wrote not to.
    So- after reading through a couple of these threads, I just adjusted the volume limit, and VOILA!
    It reverted to 50%.
    So, I did a total wipe, factory-reset it as new iPod.  I checked setting=>volume limit and it was at the 50% point again. First thing that I did was go to the last selection under settings menu, "reset settings" and noted it doesn't delete sync days, solely sys settings.
    I adjusted the volume limit to 100% immediately afterwards, set a new passcode and then.....
    Hit play.
    It worked. Plays just as loud as my original 3rd Gen iTouch. 
    So Dylan1219, maybe try that?  It's so simple, I am shocked that's how I fixed it.  It had been set- and always snapped back to the 50% mark.
    So, MAYBE that could solve the problem..?  I have hearing loss from rock & roll and concerts, etc...so, thankfully this isn't a bunk product.  Just had a bunk setting. 
    It has stayed at Max level for hours now, and can state it solved it for me.
    I would hypothesize, all iPod classics are made the same, except for the "options"  of storage and color.  Maybe a small "governor" or a piece of extra firmware is added after the fact, or only "every 9th iPod" who knows for sure...?

  • IPod Classic 160GB film library sync problem -  trying to sync films that have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store - all other libraries sync perfect - why?

    Hello Apple and the iTunes Windows PC users community.
    I am trying to sync films that I have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store. The mp4s all appear and play successfully in my iTunes application but will not sync across to the iPod film library folder.
    For your information: I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 7 64bit machine with 500GB hard disk and 8GB of Ram in the UK.
    I have restored the iPod classic 160GB three times now to see if it was a hardware problem with no joy. Each time all the music restores properly as do the podcasts and all the items in TV programmes all appear to sync and work fine.
    I have also tried to copy films into the TV Programmes to get around it with no joy. They always go to the films section to start with. It is just the Films library that does not sync - all others work perfectly. As a last resort I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes with no joy either.
    I am technically savvy and have gone through the itunes and ipod settings but nothing appears to make a difference - This is the first time I have had to post here as I can usually solve the majority of the ipod anomilies but this one has me flummoxed.
    Has the film encoding type changed in the newest itunes update? - Has this happened to anybody else and is it a hardware, software, or operating system problem.

    Having uninstalled the current version 11.1.3.8 and loaded and older version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 I can now categorically confirm that the newest update seems to be causing the problem as the films and TV Programmes are syncing perfectly on this older version.
    If you are going to do this please dont forget to remove the  ' iTunes Library.itl' file as this stops the older versions from running as I've just found out

  • Ipod classic  5th gen no sound, ipod classic  5th gen no sound

    hi i got a 5th gen ipod classic, today  no sound will come out of it (headphone or dock) i tried to reboot it but that did not do any thing, has any one got any ideals what to do.
    thanks
    steven

    I have one doing that.  I suddenly had audio quit.  Everything else checked out and works just no audio.  Tried everything and by chance I found that if I squeeze lower right hand side of case audio starts.  Had a shop check it and found nothing wrong with audio cable but think it may be logic board.  Found a forum and it seems that apple is aware of this issue.  Here is the link to the forum I am in the process of trying to get mine fixed or replaced.  Hope this helps you somewhat.  http://forums.macnn.com/103/ipod-iphone-and-ipad/351485/no-sound-ipod/

  • IPod Classic (6th Generation) 80GB syncing problems

    Hello,
    I have been encountering this problem for a couple of months with my iPod Classic. I have researched every possible fix, and I haven't been lucky enough to find a fix. When I connect my iPod to my computer sometimes, it'll just freeze everything up and I have to manually restart my computer. Other times I try to put songs onto my computer and it'll add a few then freeze and I have to restore my iPod. My problem is that it wont add songs and it keeps freezing. I have tried reformatting, putting the USB in different ports, last night I let it sit overnight to try to sing and let it work itself out. It seemed like it synced all the songs but as soon as I disconnected the iPod it restored itself and had factory settings with no songs on it. I have wasted a lot of time with this iPod in hopes of trying to fix this. But I refuse to pay Apple their crazy repair prices for something that isn't my fault. If I could please get a fix for this, cause I know A LOT of people are having the very same problem with their iPod's.

  • 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?

    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 connectivity to Car Stereo problems

    I have an iPod Clas. The software version is 1.1.2.  My new car stereo will not recognize anything before 1.2.  Is there anyway to upgrade the software version of my Classic?
    Thanks.

    jfallon_bonedoc,
    If iTunes does not see any firmware updates for your model of iPod classic, and you are positive your iTunes application is up to date, then I'm afraid there is no way to update to another firmware version.  Sorry.

  • IPod Classic 80GB 6th Gen,Restoring Problems

    hi i really need help! :/
    my iPod has frozen, I've been using it as removable disc to transfer some files,but while i was transferring the last file,i need to disconnect it from my computer and i did that without pressing "safely remove device from computer" and that's when the frizzing happened then I've reset it manually as usual and then for the first time it shown "use iTunes to restore". I've tried every technique for restoring it but nothing works,when i use iTunes to restore,it does the whole "restoring" thing but when it finally finishes it says do the same procedure again (this was with version 7.6 of iTunes) because with the 10th version just starts restoring it and it stops just a few seconds after ( The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1439) ). I've tried changing the usb port,updating the drivers,reconnecting the iPod several time,restoring it in disk mode,trying different versions of iTunes,using different computers, different cables, but nothing works. I've even tried to restore it using mac laptop with fire-wire (but when using the fire-wire didn't even recognized the iPod as a device) so I've tried with usb port on the mac laptop but even that didn't work (only the error was different error 1430 ). only LINUX is able to format it but thats about it! then I've tried the diagnostic mode and nothing,everything seems to be fine,but it still doesn't restores!
    Could somebody PLEASE help!!!!!
    Thanks

    So what seems to be the problem then?  Does iTunes still see the device?  If so, just go ahead and sync it as you normally would.

    Using an iPod Classic on a Bose sound dock....when loading the iPod from the Mac, what  "Import Settings" (under iTune "Preferences"),  should be used to maintain a constant sound level when playing music?  Mac OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.1.
    There are many Import Settings available and it is somewhat confusing.  Any suggestions?

  • TS1363 iPod classic no longer recognised in iTunes (v11)

    I have an 80gb iPod classic that, since I upgraded iTunes to the latest version in December 2012, no longer gets recognised within iTunes, so I cannot sync it anymore.
    I am running a PC on windows 7, with iTunes v11 (the latest version as I have removed and replaced it several times in the last 24 hours).
    My PC does recognise the iPod in "My Computer".
    I have spent hours trying all sorts of Apple Troubleshooting guides, to no avail.
    First I tried the reset: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    Then I went through each of these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363
    I've also tried various different apple USB cables, and different USB ports on my PC.
    My iPhone 4 connects no problem.
    My iPod Classic used to connect no problem until I downloaded the latest / current version of iTunes.
    Other than not being able to sync my ipod with itunes, the ipod works and behaves totally normal...
    VERY frustrating. PLEASE help.
    Thanks.
