IPOD Classic 5th Generation 30gb

I have an IPOD Classis 5th generation 30GB. The audio doesnt work and I think it is the jack. Everything works great. It is a great model and I have an Iphone but use this in the car. What should I do?

Do the iPod disk diagnostic, to check Hardisk health, refer to this excellent post by tt2.
Most likely the hardisk is dying, with high Realloc and Pending sector numbers.

TS1441 IPod classic, 5th generation [30gb] [video] [restore issues]

I have an IPod classic 5th generation (video). I followed these steps exactly. But, whenever
my iPod is plugged in it makes the sound, like the hard drive is trying to start but stops its
self. It stays in this cycle of trying to start until the battery runs out. Please help. My iTunes
is up to date. This is so weird because it was working just a minute ago and this has never
happened before. Please help me! I need music!

Ipod Classic 5th Generation problem

i have a ipod classic 5th generation connected it to my macbook pro retina display and it doesn't come up on itunes but it does charge?

Same deal here, recent problem.
Concurrent with new issues where it will no longer play video podcasts.
I suspect an update hindered stability.

What should i do?

Assuming that you actually have the volume turned up (you don't say that you have, after all), make sure that the Volume Limit is not turned all the way down.
Look in the Settings/Volume Limit menu. The small arrow controls the volume as well.

REMOVING MY STUFF FROM iPOD CLASSIC - 5TH GENERATION

I now have a iPod Touch, and I want to give my iPod Classic 5th Generation with video screen to a friend. How do I remove all my "stuff" (photos, music, movies, contacts) from the iPod Classic?
I do not want to lose any of my "stuff" on my iMac in iTunes.
Thanks for any help.

To remove your information and content from the iPod (but keep it on the computer), you want to restore the iPod:

Ipod Classic 5th generation works ONLY when connected

I have an ipod 80GB 5th generation for 5 years now and when I remove it from the charge it stops working instantly saying something like "no power please connect" but for that fraction of second I see that the battery is full in the corner... Someone understand the problem? I guess if the battery was starting to fail me it would have been gradual, because some days ago it still worked for hours without connecting it.
Thanks in advance
Samuel

That's a good sign that the battery is shot and in need of replacement either by Apple, a third party service center, or you can even do it yourself if you feel up to the task.

IPod Classic 5th generation will not sync with new MacBook

I have had a 5th generation iPod classic that I have been super happy with. I have used it with several PC laptops. Because I have gone through so many PC's, I decdied this year to get a new MacBook Pro. Since my old PC was dying it took forever to get all my music and videos transferred to my new MacBook. Anyhow, I have had no luck syncing my iPod with my new MacBook. I have read several other posts (but mostly older like 2007-2010) that others have had similar problems. Here is a quick list of what I have done/what has happened:
Initially, I would get one of two messages:
'The ipod '(My Name) ipod' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-124)'
- 'The ipod '(My Name) ipod' cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found.'
Two times it told me I needed to use a USB 2.0 port (but I have a new MacBook and was using the newer 3.0 port). I haven't seen that message since.
It actually "transferred" over 4500 of my 7000 items (I have a ton of music that I use for my job) and then just stopped. When it was disconnected only about 200 songs were actually on my iPod.
I've restored it several times.
Seems to "freeze" on random songs or videos and will not continue to sync, even theough the iPod says it's syncing. Then iTunes freezes. I have to "force quit." Sometimes (but not all the time) if I try to re-open iTunes, I get a message that says iTunes is locked.
I thought maybe my cable was bad (it was the original that came with the iPod). I actually spent $20 and got a new one. No luck.
With the new cord iTunes now gets frozen on the 3rd or 4th song it is trying to transfer. Once I disconnect the iPod (I have to disconnect with ejecting because iTunes is frozen and it also freezes up Finder to eject) my iPod makes an awful click sound and I have to start it by toggling and then holding the play/pause button.
I have tried enabling disk, manually controlling music, etc. but nothing helps.
I am sick about it because I rely on my iPod a lot for my job-- and I can't afford a new one since I just bought a MacBook. I think it has something to do with the fact that I got this new MacBook. My old PC was getting so sensitive that I didn't download the latest version of iTunes (but I still had the second latest version).
Any help is appreciated.

Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

I have a ipod classic 5th gen 30gb, if i download a movie or song from the current itunes i use with my ipod touch will it play? or do i have to get another type of itunes, if so which one?

You can plug the iPod into the same iTunes library as your iPod Touch and sync whatever content you like to it. There is no limilt to the number of iPads, iPhones, or iPods you can sync with one iTunes library, account, or computer. How you sync one device will not affect the syncing preferences of the other.

How much can an iPod classic 5th generation live?

I have a fifth-generation iPod classic, which was forgotten in my drawer and I had bought it before about 5 years.It has no battery and I lost the charger and the cable.Maybe it works yet?Worth the effort to find a charger and charge it?
Please answer me!

The sceen is quite strong/break resistant with a distributed force like you laying on it in bed. It does not fair weel will point conntact. Dropping an iPod on the corner will almost surely break the screen since all forece in in a small area.

My iPod Classic 5th Gen 30gb won't sync

I need some help here. In the past, I've been able to connect my iPod to my iTunes, hit sync, and be on my way. Now, I don't know what has happened, but, whenever I connect my iPod to iTunes and hit sync, iTunes just keeps saying that it is "Starting sync" and doesn't get past that. It does show up in iTunes and I have been able to move files on the iPods disc, but it just refuses to sync. I've tried waiting for very long amounts of time, yet it still just says "Starting sync." I've tried resetting, using different USB ports, using different iPod cables, rebooting my computer, letting the iPod die completely and recharging it completely, checking for updates on the software, and even restoring, which wiped away all the music off of my iPod which I, for the time, cannot sync back on. I haven't found any other problems like this and am becoming worried beacuse I need my music a lot of the time. Is there anything I can do?

I don't think the wireless receiver for the keyboard/mouse will have any effect. Sometimes, there can be conflict between USB devices, so that's why I advised removing as much as possible.
The fact that it completes Restore successfully seems show that the iPod is OK. If it was getting stuck during the syncing, like maybe a part of the iPod's hard drive has bad sectors, then it would get passed the "starting sync" bit and show the progress bar. So I think it's something related to software (on the computer).
Try this... Select the iPod in the sidebar under DEVICES. Over to the right, on the Summary tab, check the checkbox for Enable disk use. Apply the change. This will keep the iPod connected to Windows as a "disk," even when iTunes is not syncing. With disk use enabled, try doing a sync. NOTE: When disk use is enabled, you have to Eject the iPod in iTunes before physically disconnecting it.

What happens when my ipod classic 5th generation is stuck on the do not disconnect screen?

first you must connect it to pc or mac, then attemptto reset once that happens it should come back up and only when the red circle blinks then it will show up on itunes display again, then you push eject wait till regular ipod screen come up showing music, videos, etc, then you take of ipod usb.

Try holding down menu and the center button for a few seconds, until the apple symbol appears. This has always worked for me
