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:

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!

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.

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!

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.

I just can hear mono on ipod classic 5th Generation

If I use my iPod with headphones then I can just hear mono! Anyone who knows how to fix this problem?

You connect the sound system to the iPod via the iPod dock or just using a RCA jack?
If it is via Ipod Dock, then the Audio chip circuitry in the iPod is kaput!, bad mounting.
If it is RCA jack, it maybe cheaper to replace the Audio jack circuitry, eBay selling it for less than 10USD, but opening the iPod is another big exercise, need proper tools and steady hands.
You can Google a 3rd party iPod service in your Area, then ask for a quotation, yah 170€ is almost the cost of a new iPod.
Sorry not much help given.

Ipod classic 5th generation doesn't appear on Itunes

When i connect my iPod to my computer it doesn't appear in my iTunes. I tried using disk mode and that doesn't work. I tried using developer mode and that didn't work. I re-install iTunes a few times and that didn't work. When I disconnected my iPod there was a notification and it said "USB device not recognized."
When I connect my iPod to my computer I realized that it didn't have that screen (Do not disconnect) but my iPod does is charge my phone.
Please help me!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

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
