Ipod classic 80G freezing on "big sync" after restoring

I recently restored my ipod due to issues and upon the big re-sync that happens the ipod freezes and sticks on one song. I try to stop the sync and ejecting and neither work it just causes my computer to freeze. Anyone have a solution or suggestion, I don't want to have to buy a new ipod because of this.

I've been having the same problem too. I've spent countless hours on the phone with Apple Support, brought the iPod into the store, and even sent it to get repaired. The repair service said the problems could not be replicated, so I'm back at square one again. Hopefully we'll be able to figure this out!

IPod classic 160GB 6th gen not sync after HDD & ribbon cable replacement

I recently replaced my iPod 6th gen HDD and ribbon cable, but when I connect it to my PC and iTunes recognizes it, I can't sync or load music to it 'cause it displays an 1439 error, What can I do?

I assume you have tried everything in this article? And I do mean everything.
iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
Have you tried restoring it another available Mac or PC to see if the problem persists there?

IPod classic 160GB freezing when plugged in

Hi,
My new iPod classic started freezing when plugge in after the night, for example - it needs a restore, then works fine. Any ideas?
Thank you for your help

Yikes!, it may means it is the iPod Classic firmware 2.0.4, that is hanging up the USB Host controller, which freezes your whole Computer.
Could be a partially updated firmware 2.0.4, (so kind of corrupted)
Can you
1. Open in finder <yourname>/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
2. Remove the .ipsw and .ipsw.signature for the version you are wanting to drop, in this case, 2.0.4
3. Open iTunes and in Preferences uncheck automatic check for updates.
4. Connect iPod and select restore. It will ask you if you want to check for newer update. Select Yes. All files will be removed and it will have to resync the entire library but it worked.
PS: try and do this in Diskmode.

Podcasts Ipod Classic 80G

Hello Folks,
I am new to this forum, having just purchased a new Ipod Classic 80G yesterday. I tried so far to sync some golf lesson podcasts that I had subscribed to in Itunes, and they did sync with my Ipod, but are all in a single file, not in single lessons that I can access one at a time. I tried to create my own playlist of all of the in a list and sync'd that but they show up as music and will only play the sound on them. Can someone help me to get them on my Ipod in selectable order so I can play each one separately, with the video and sound?
Many thanks,
Jim

I discovered after working with my unit more, I had the lessons on it just the way I wanted them to be.

Loading cd collection onto ipod classic 80g

ihave 700cds to load onto ipod classic 80G via itunes but my computer only has room for approx250.Can i delete those 250 from my itunes folder and start again?how do i load them all?

To load them all you would have to buy an external hard drive to move some other things over from your computer or just have the music files on the hard drive. If you can only have 250 of them then here is what to try.
Import the first 250, then have the ipod on manually manage music etc... Drag and drop all the 250 CDs content to the iPod.
After done copying delete the files for the first 250 and then put the next set on and repeat copying them to the ipod, repeat this until all 700 CDs are on iPod.

Ipod touch 5th gen will not sync after windows 8.1 update

ipod touch 5th gen will not sync after windows 8.1 update. Computer see's Itouch as mass storage and charges. Worked with Window's 8 fine, as soon as update was done and restarted computer Itouch doesn't show up. Itouch seen on two other computers.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Run this to help if it identifies the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

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!

Make an appointment at the genius bar.
If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

IPod classic will not mount or sync

I seem to have the same problem explained here: http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9775240-7.html
My new iPod Classic 160 GB will only sync once and then nothing. It won't mount in iTunes or on the desktop. I have tried restore and resetting but to no avail. If I log out and log back in it still won't mount but if I restart my Mac then it will mount and sync once. If I try to make any changes to the settings, I get the message: "the settings were not saved for the ipod "my iPod" because it could not be found"
Anyone know how to fix this?

This Gizmo report saved my day (and more since I had this BUG for a lot of weeks…)
To solve your problem just follow the advice in the article.
To have more time to enable the disk use I'd suggest you add before you connect your iPod a lot of new files to your iTunes Library! Video files would take more time to synch…

I've got a iPod classic 80g I've got loads of pictures on there and I want to get them off. I've tried something where the files I get off come up as thumbnails which I can't open. Is there any way of getting them off and viewing them as a normal photo?

IPod Classic keeps freezing...what do I do?

My iPod Classic keeps freezing. It still plays music, but then the screen freezes and won't let me command the device until the backlight switches off. I noticed it's got a bit worse since I bought 'Bush' iPod speakers to play my music out loud through my iPod. What do I do? It's getting annoying.

Hi Candyfornia,
I think you must restore your iPod (with iTunes) to solve your problem...

HT1351 I have just purchased an ipod classic 160GB and decided to sync my itunes music and videos that I purchased via itunes. All the music sunk but it didnt sync my videos. It said that they were in the wrong format. What to do??

I have just purchased an ipod classic 160GB and decided to sync my itunes music and videos that I purchased via itunes. All the music sunk but it didnt sync my videos. It said that they were in the wrong format. What to do?? I would have thought if I bought the films from itunes it would be compatible with an ipod classic?? How do you change the video format?

My mistake, it was nothing to do with format. It woldn't sync because my movies were HD. HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod. Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions. Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod
