Ipod classic 60gb charge issues

hi,
i have a 60gb ipod classic & recently it has decided that it will switch itself on when putting it to sleep, or even when you don't touch it. it also will not hold any charge possibly because of this??
also if the wire is not in a particular point it will say connected then disconnect itself.
any help or reason why it would do this all of a sudden?

I have an old iPod classic 60GB (video) which has a dodgy HDD. It was clicking and in a constant sad face/charging loop. I've managed to get it display "Please restore iPod" message and it is now being recognised by my macbook. I've tried to restore it via iTunes but when I try that I get an error message tht says "The iPod could not be restores because it is busy".
I've tried toformat the iPod using Disk Utility too but i get an error:
Disk Erase failed with the error:
POSIX reports: The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory
The oddest thing is that under disk utility my iPod drive is showing up as a 2TB drive:
All I'm realy trying to do is restore the iPod so I can try to recover some of the tracks using Disk Drill. Can anybody help?

See if you can find a window based PC and try to do a Restore there.

TA26689 can ipod classic be charged with the iPhone's or iPad's charger?

Can iPod classic be charged with the iPhone's or iPad's charger?

There shouldn't be any issue using one of those chargers. When I need to charge something, I just connect to any 30-pin connector/charger that's closest.

My "iPod Classic (60GB) Click Wheel" is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows up in 'my computer'.

My iPod Classic (60GB) Clickwheel is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows in 'My Computer'. The problem started with an error message in iTunes saying "Could not complete sync as devise may have become corrupt" and suggested I restore the iPod to factory settings which I have done several times. I've carried out an error check in the iPod properties. I've completely removed iTunes and all related software components in the correct order and reinstalled version 10.5.3. I have been through the 5 R's numerous times but still the iPod is not being recognised in iTunes. I have Windows XP, I'm tearing my hair out now so any help or suggestions would be great

Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPod
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

Can I charge my 2013 ipod classic with my original ipod classic firewire charger?

Can I charge my 2013 ipod classic with my original ipod classic firewire charger?

Nope, I'm sorry. iOS/iTunes only (you need a connection to your network, and the iPod classic doesn't have network capabilities).

Ipod Classic (120Gb) charging

My Ipod Classic (120Gb) charges when I use my Retina Ipad USB charger but does not show the charging/completed symbol as it does when I charge from my PC. My Ipod Nano (2Gb) has no problem with either method. Any ideas why?

Hi Mario,
All good information but it doesn't answer the question. The Adaptor supplied with the latest Ipad is more than adequate to supply the Classic and so I would expect the charging symbols to appear. When using the standard 5w charger the Ipod displays the charging state correctly but when using the 10w charger it gives the impression that it isn't charging even though it is. One snippet I didn't say is that the charge symbol only showed a 50% charge when in actual fact it was fully charged.
Anyway thanks for your interest if I find an answer I let the community know.

How can I transfer music from my ipod classic 60GB to my iPhone 4 music library, just by song or whole CD that I have bought? Help needed!

How can I transfer music from my ipod classic 60GB to my iPhone 4 music library, just by song or whole CD that I have bought? Help needed!

load the current version of I tunes on the laptop and sync the pod. Then sync the phone - you can select all or as much of the music you want to.
Also - if the music on the pod was purchased from the itune store in the first place, you should be able to redownload it to the phone for free, as long as you are using the same apple id that it was bought with.

Using my old ipod classic 5g charger on the new ipod touch 3g?

is it possible to use my old ipod classic 5g charger on the new ipod touch 3g? thanks

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Updateentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:

Does it go through properly this time?

Hey zerrodactyl,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Can't access IPod Classic when charging

Hi All...
I have 30GB Ipod classic. When I plug it into the computr to charge (USB), I see a flashing red circle with line thru it in the middle fo the screen with message Do Not Disconnect.
While it is charging I cannot clear this fromthe screen and listen to the stuff on the Ipod. Is there something wrong or is this by (very very very bad) design?
How can I listen to the Ipod while it is charging?
I tried to eject the device from systray icon, but when I do that, it stops charging?
Help please.
Thanks in advance.

This is because the iPod is being synced to the computer, which means that it is being updated and the information on it is being changed. While that is happening you cannot do anything with the iPod. Once it has finished syncing, (when the message *iPod sync is complete - OK to disconnect* displays in the top of the iTunes window) you can click on the *Eject iPod* button which you will find in the bottom right hand of the *iTunes summary screen* (not the systray icon) and which will "disconnect it" from iTunes but allow it to continue charging. You can then listen to it while it is still plugged in and charging.

No, nothing wrong with it or the design. It is syncing as well as charging. If you try to "use" the iPod while it's being updated that would confuse it!
I tried to eject the device from systray icon, but when I do that, it stops charging?
That is not the correct (or best) method of disconnecting the iPod. As I stated above, you should use the *Eject iPod* iPod button.
By the way, there is no such model as a 30GB Classic, perhaps yours is a 5th generation or photo iPod? See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688 for information on identifying your iPod model.

IPod Classic having strange issues

My 80 Gig iPod Classic is having the following issues:
1.) It appears empty when I search for songs using the wheel.
2.) It shows on my desktop as "Unknown" and is ejectable when I drag it to the trash.
3.) When I put it into disk mode, clicking the mounted disk on my desktop shows pictures and about 150 songs that are unchangeable (i.e., I tried deleting stuff and I was given error code 61.)
4.) I can reset it using Menu+Select, and I can also put it into disk mode.
5.) When plugged in to my computer it displays "connected, eject before disconnecting."
6.) When I eject it (by using the trash bin) it displays "ok to disconnect" - but it immediately resets, the Apple logo comes on, and it asks me to select a language preference.
7.) When it's first plugged in, iTunes will open and the Apple logo at the top of the screen will flash quickly, but the device does not show on the left hand side of the screen.
And the biggest problem...
8.) It is not recognized by iTunes - therefore I can't figure out how to restore it.
I have 8 other kinds of iPods/iPhones, all of them are recognized by iTunes (version 9.1) using my MacBook Pro, using 3 different USB ports. I've restarted iTunes, my computer, everything, and I still cannot get the device to show in iTunes.
Any suggestions to get this going?

IPod classic click wheel issues

Is thee anything I can do or should I take it to an apple store?

ITunes 9, iPod Classic, iBook G4 - Issue!

Okay, I'm in desperate need of help.
I have an iBook G4, an iPod Classic, and had iTunes 9.
The iPod was formatted for my PC but I restored it so that I could have it on my Mac. So my issue is this: the iPod shows up on my desktop, and when I plug the iPod in, iTunes automatically opens, but the iPod does NOT show up in iTunes no matter what!
I considered going back to an older version of iTunes (iTunes 8) but I'm thinking I was told I need to use AppCleaner to get rid of all the newer iTunes crap, because when I tried without it, iTunes 8 said it could not open because the music was done with a newer version of iTunes.
So my PC is about to crash (which is the only way I download music to the iPod now) and I really need to fix this problem. Does anyone have a suggestion or encountered this problem and were able to fix it? I'm at my wits end.
Thanks!!

I used AppCleaner to delete iTunes and reinstalled iTunes 8.2 and now the iPod only appears on the desktop for a moment and iTunes says "An iPod has been detected but cannot be identified properly." Unplugging and replugging back in does not work. I then tried clicking update iTunes (to the newest version) just because I'm willing to try anything at this point and I'm back to desktop recognizing iPod but not iTunes.
Please can someone help, I am frustrated beyond belief.
