Ipod Classic 30GB shutting down

I have a Clasic Ipod 30GB that I've had since probably 2006ish. It's been very reliable and I still have a ton of room on it but as of the last year or so it won't play my songs for any longer than an hour or so. It'll tell me it still has a full charge but it'll die and I can't turn it back on unless it's hooked to my Ipod Dock or our Bose player. Is this the battery failing? Is it possible to replace the battery or will it just be easier to get a new Ipod altogether? I would probably end up getting another classic pretty much since I have no need for a Touch or anything like that as long as I can get at least another 30GB

What iPod software version? Restore the iPod again

Check the settings and set it to OFF

  • My Ipod Classic keeps shutting down, even when fully charged

    I have upgraded my Ipod classic operating system and all was well. Suddenly, it has started shutting down after 5 minutes of use, even when the battery is fully charged.

  • TS1502 My iPod Classic is shutting down iTunes, blue screening my computer (windows7) and restarting it... any suggestions?

    I hadnt used my iPod in awhile, so when I tried to sync it, the libraries didnt match up and to avoid hassle I decided to restore it (using the option on itunes when you plug in your device).
    After restoring, I tried to connect to iTunes again. While it said 'syncing iPod' on my device, it froze iTunes. Within seconds, my computer crashed and a blue screen came up. I restarted my computer and tried to sync again, with the same result. I should also mention that upon plugging it in, my computer comes up with a box saying check device, hardware problems. I click 'find solution/check for problems' but they always come back negative. I've searched for and tried many options:
    Starting it in safe mode, disk use, not allowing auto sync. Rebooting my iPod (hold down menu+center). Rebooting then connecting while the apple logo is displayed. Tried different USB cables. iTunes help said to check for driver updates on my computer, and all are fine.
    If my iPod can just stop working for no apparant reason (its not like it took a late night toilet bowl swim) how I can determine if its toast or I'm just trying the wrong things? Suggestions, please??!!!

  • Firmware 1.1.1, Ipod Classic 160 shuts down in the middle of MP3 playback,

    On Firmware 1.1.1 I noticed that sometimes the Ipod would turn-off (or crash I suppose) while playing an MP3 song. Does not happen often but it does.
    I think it might have happened with 1.0.3 but I am uncertain.
    Anyone has that problem???
    Thanks!!

    Actually i have the same problem since upgrading to 1.1.1. It stops playing an mp3, and then losses the album art when I choose another song. If I reset it, it will play the same sone fine. Also noticed that if I pause it and leave it for a bit it lock up and have to reset it.
    Just downgraded to 1.0.3 to see if it's the ipod or the firmware.

  • I added 2 cd's to itunes 11, I have an ipod classic 30gb, how do I export the albums from itunes to my ipod?

    Hi Ihave an ipod classic 30gb, i imported 2 cd's into itunes on win xp pro sp3, how do I export the albums from itunes to my ipod?

    It depends on how you previously added content to the iPod?  Or are saying the iPod is currently empty, and you want to add these albums to it?
    If you want to sync your entire iTunes music library to the iPod, which may or may not be just these two albums at this point, you can do the following.  Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  If you are using the latest iTunes 12, you do this by clicking the "device button" on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top).  The button's icon looks like the connected device.
    On the iPod's screen, there is a sidebar (along left side of window).  In the sidebar, under Settings, click Music.  To the right, the iPod's Music settings screen is shown, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.  Near the top, there is a checkbox for Sync Music.  Check that box to enable automatic syncing.  NOTE:  If that box is not already checked, checking it will replace the iPod's existing content with content from your iTunes library.  Any songs on the iPod now that are not in your current iTunes library will be lost.
    Below that setting, there are two options for how to sync songs.  30GB is a decent amount of storage space, so if your entire iTunes library can fit on your iPod, you can use the option to sync Entire music library.  Then click Apply.  iTunes syncs your entire iTunes music library to your iPod.  Going forward, any changes to your iTunes music library (such as adding more albums or songs) will sync automatically to the iPod, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync if already connected).
    If your situation is different, please reply back with more details.

  • My brand new 6th gen ipod nano keeps shutting down after about 30 seconds?

    My new 6th generation ipod nano keeps shutting down after 30 seconds. It has been registered with itunes and has about 200+ songs on it. I have not tried to reset it because i was not sure what this would do. Please help!

    This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in.  Make sure you cannot see any silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  It may require a little extra force to get the headphones to become fully inserted.  You should hear a sort of clicking noise indicating that they have been fully seated.
    Also check the headphone port from a damage or debris.

  • My ipod touch completely shut down after i tried to update the software. It won't respond at all. Any advice?

    Hi, I was updating my apple software and my ipod touch completely shut down. I got an error message that my ipod touch could not be restored. what the ????
    please help. it wont start at all, no power. itunes doesn't even recognize it anymore.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • I have an IPOD Classic 30GB.  I thought the battery was not recharging so I bought a new battery and had it installed.  The device will come on and has a message on the screen "Please wait.  Very low battery."

    I have an IPOD Classic 30GB.  It would not stay on but a few seconds so I thought the battery was not recharging and bought a new battery.  I charged the new battery overnight and when I turned it on I could see the apple for only a few seconds and it would go off.  I tried the trouble shooting suggestions and reset the device. The screen is frozen with the message "Please Wait.  Very low battery." I also thought it might be a problem with the display but since it is on now, I'm not sure what is going on with it.

    There are several types of iPods that are "30GB," 3rd gen ("dock connector"), 4th gen ("click wheel" or "photo"), and 5th gen ("video").  This documents shows the iPod models

    Which one is your iPod?  Do you use a Mac or Windows PC?  Do you have a power adapter?

  • IPOD TOUCH WONT SHUT DOWN

    I CANT GET MY IPOD TOUCH TO SHUT DOWN I PRESS ON THE TOP AND THE BOTTOM OF IT BUT IT WILL NOT GO OFF UNTIL MY FINGERS STARTED HURTING

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod classic 30gb not holding charge

    As stated above I have an iPod classic 30gb. After a few mins of removing from charger the iPod dies. Is there any way the battery can be replaced.?

    You can hope that when it dries out that it will work. You shouldn't have turned it on yet....so let it sit for a few days and then see if it works. Other than that there isn't much you can do.
