Ipod classic 80GB 6th Gen Alarm not playing a Playlist

Is this a software bug? my old iPod Video (5th Gen 30GB, software version 1.3) alarm plays a playlist with no problems.

So what seems to be the problem then? Does iTunes still see the device? If so, just go ahead and sync it as you normally would.

IPod Classic 80GB 6th Gen,Restoring Problems

hi i really need help! :/
my iPod has frozen, I've been using it as removable disc to transfer some files,but while i was transferring the last file,i need to disconnect it from my computer and i did that without pressing "safely remove device from computer" and that's when the frizzing happened then I've reset it manually as usual and then for the first time it shown "use iTunes to restore". I've tried every technique for restoring it but nothing works,when i use iTunes to restore,it does the whole "restoring" thing but when it finally finishes it says do the same procedure again (this was with version 7.6 of iTunes) because with the 10th version just starts restoring it and it stops just a few seconds after ( The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1439) ). I've tried changing the usb port,updating the drivers,reconnecting the iPod several time,restoring it in disk mode,trying different versions of iTunes,using different computers, different cables, but nothing works. I've even tried to restore it using mac laptop with fire-wire (but when using the fire-wire didn't even recognized the iPod as a device) so I've tried with usb port on the mac laptop but even that didn't work (only the error was different error 1430 ). only LINUX is able to format it but thats about it! then I've tried the diagnostic mode and nothing,everything seems to be fine,but it still doesn't restores!
Could somebody PLEASE help!!!!!
Thanks

IPod Classic 80GB 6th Gen help

I put my ipod on the usb cord. Windows gives me a scan and fix (recommended) window. I click scan and fix. Then it gives me a window that says check and fix problems. So I click check on Automatically fix file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. I click start.
"Some problems were found and fixed. any files that were affected by these problems were moved to a folder named 'found' on the device or disk. Your device or disk is now ready to use.
If you removed the device or disk before all files were fully written to it, parts of some files may still be missing. If so,go back to the source and recopy those files to your device or disk."

Cover flow on ipod classic 160gb 6th gen

I was just given an ipod classic 160gb 6th gen, it the previous owners music on it, so I hooked it up to itunes & restored it & updated it to factory settings & put my name on it. I noticed in cover flow mode, that albums are doubled, one for the entire album, then the album cover again for individual songs. when I go to album view, the albums show up ok, there are no double ups there. I also notice when I scroll down to the now playing with the split screen, it comes up blank with no cover art. I had an 80gb 5th gen ipod & everything seemed ok. I wiped it clean with a restore as well to start fresh. It took about an hour & a half to sync over my music library from my external hard drive to my new 160 gb 6th gen ipod. It seems to play ok, so far, I just got it today, & I have been playing it on & off to try it out.
I am running itunes 9.0.1.8. Also when I plug in my ipod, itunes ops up with an update message for me to update, I click ok for the update, but nothing seems to happen, so I do not know if itunes has updated or not.

Ok, should I try the trialing X, for those persistent multi covers that do not respond to adjusting the track names as first suggested? I went to your tips page & saw the graphic for that. Is it ok to just leave the Xs in or must they be removed?
iTunes tries to be "smart" and only updates the tag if it thinks you've changed something. Adding the X is a temporary measure to force iTunes to acknowlege that something has changed and thereby hopefully merge the album. Once it's done you can get rid of the unecessary trailing Xs.
I also looked at your image for handling multi discs, will this group multi discs together in cover flow?
Yes, that's the point.
& when one is playing a multi disc set, will the ipod just go straight to the next disc (disc 2) in playback as though it were one single album?
Yes.
or will playback stop at the last track of disc 1 & then one would have to select disc 2 to play.
No.
Will the multi disc set still come up as 2 different discs to selct to play? I may not want to start with disc 1.
No. You can always chose which track to start playing.
One of the albums I was having trouble with multi covers was part of a 2 disc set, disc 1 was credited to the main artist, but had guest artists for 1/2 the tracks, disc 2 was by the same artist with no guest artists. I have now gotten disc 1 to show as a single cover in cover flow by checking off part of a compilation in the info panel, but it does not appear next to disc 2 in cover flow.
Again setting *Part of a compilation" is the wrong approach. Set *Part of a compilation* to No, put your guest artist info. into the track titles (or any other scheme you choose) and make sure that the Artist value is consistent for all tracks.
on an off note, I notice when I press my ipod button or navigate any of its features, there is a slight grinding noise, I can hear the hard drive, when I bring it close to my ear, it sounds like a chewing mouse is this ok/normal to hear slight noises? it seems to be functioning alright. It is pretty responsive.
Yes, the noise from disc activity is normal. My iPod lives in a silcone sleeve which probably muffles it a bit and most of the time I'll have already have music playing so I'm rarely conscious of the noise of hard drive activity but it is there.

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?

HELP! New iPod Classic 80GB Recognized By Computer, Not iTunes

I have a brand new ipod classic, and it refuses to be recognized by itunes so i can install it. The "install new hardware" wizard pops up instead and it thinks it is a USB Mass Storage Device. I've tried everything on the apple support page.
PS I am aware that this sort of question probably has been answered before. I am new to this board haven't found the information i need. thanks for the help!

Hi,
I'd been really frustrated with ITunes not recognizing my IPod after failed attempts at using the "5Rs" to resove the issue. I just wanted you guys to know that I found a resolution posted under http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1372 and after following the instructions, I "forced" ITunes to recognize the Pod and it is right now, as we speak, syncing my entire library back to the IPod! THANK YOU to whomever posted this solution! I was so lost without my IPod and was about to go on a trip without it! Whew! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Need software/firmware 1.0.0 to Ipod Classic 80Gb 5-gen

I need the old firmware, the new ones wont work with my dock. Anybody who knows where I can find it?

I agree with Jeff's comment about Pioneer - if they state that the iPod is compatible with their head unit, then they (Pioneer) should support it and not Apple. Again, as Jeff says, how can Apple support every 3rd party product that is produced?
I've just checked the Pioneer web site and although I did not find the AVIC X3-BT that you mentioned, I did find the AVIC-X3 (http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/products/archive/AVIC-X3/index.html) and I see that it is only compatible with iPods up to August 2007. It is not listed on the Pioneer.no site, so perhaps it was never available there.
The AVIC-X3-II which *is shown on the Norwegian site* (http://www.pioneer.no/no/products/25/111/241/AVIC-X3-II/specs.html) states that it is compatible with iPods up to September 2007, but specifically excludes the iPod Touch (introduced that month). This is the same month that the original Classic was introduced. So - first thing - work out exactly which model of iPod you have (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353). If yours is a Classic, introduced in September 2007, then there may be an issue, but that is up to Pioneer to sort out, perhaps with an update to their product.
I did look for the AVIC-X3-BT on both web sites, but as far as I can tell (with my Norwegian!) it is not there.
I also found a forum specifically about the AVIC X3, at http://www.avicx1forums.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6 and this post (http://www.avicx1forums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1617) in particular about the Classic not working with the AVIC X3. In his reply, Oliver says that there is a problem with the Classic (at the Pioneer end) and he advises the original poster to contact Pioneer Customer Services by phone.
By the way, your English is better than my Norwegian, I guarantee it!
Med vennlig hilsen,
Phil

I have a iPod classic 80GB (2008) which no longer plays or connects to iTunes

My iPod worked faultlessly until recently when it suddenly began having difficulties connecting to iTunes and the wall charger. I managed to reset the iPod and it worked as usual for 2 days but then it decided to revert back to not working. When connected to the computer, the screen flickers with an Apple logo every 2 seconds but there is no other connectivity. Pressing the iPod central button and Menu together brings up the logo for a few seconds but makes no difference. I have changed connectors with no difference.
Now it is completely dead unless i connect it to a radio with an iPod dock. Then it works as normal and states it is fully charged! I can navigate the Menu and select songs. However, as I can't connect to iTunes I can't add any new songs and I can't take it anywhere with me.
It has been well taken care of since new and lives in a protected cover. What is wrong and How do I fix?

Hi Luckytimmytot,
Thanks for your reply and letting me know it did not work. It sounds like a different direction may be warranted here. Due to the nature of your issue you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources:

Ipod Classic 160 6th g. doesn't sync w/Imac g5 non intel OS 10.4.11. This is a replacement for same ipod which was stolen recently. That pod worked fine with Itunes 9! Now this pod says it only works with Itunes 10.7. ***!!!! Why has Apple screwed up?

My ipod classic 160 6th gen. was recently stolen. It had 3000 tunes on it and it synced perfectly with Itunes 9 on my Imac G5 non intel OS 10.4.11. So I recently bought same model and guess what, it doesn't sync at all. Now message says it only works with Itunes 10.7 and up. I certainly cant afford to buy a new intel based Mac and I really dont need a new pc. It feels like Apple has dropped the ball on its long time users and tough luck to you and all the $$$$$$$ spent on downloading songs and buying ipods over the years! I AM SO ANGRY THAT I CANNOT BRING MY MUSIC WITH ME ANYMORE. I dont know if there is any solution to this except being extorted to upgrade to new tech! I have been trying to get answers to this issue but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a tech genius so extremely techy solutions will be in vane.

one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?

IPod Classic - 80GB - Invalid Index Key. Won't Sync.

So, my friend recently gave me his old iPod Classic 80gb 6th generation. I restored it, then began to sync it with my itunes library. It began to sync, but then froze. iTunes and Finder became frozen. I had to force quit iTunes and then unplug the iPod and restart finder to get everything in order. The iPod still doesn't work. I ran the disk utility and got the results as follows.

I would really appreciate a free solution to this problem as I can't live without my music.
Thank you very much.

So I had a similar problem on my 120 gig classic. After months of go around with the repairs department, we finally figured out the problem. ITUNES 9.0.3, KILLS THE HARD DRIVE on classics. What you need to do is get apple support to send you a REPLACEMENT, do NOT accept a repair, as they are idiots and only try to sync maybe one song, don't get the problem, and will send it RIGHT back to you, unfixed. Believe me, it is a Hard Drive issue. Once you get your new ipod, UNINSTALL itunes 9, and go back to using 8.2.1, it will work believe me. Hope this helps.

IPod Classic 80gb, 5/6th gen doesn´t work properly with Renault Media Nav?

Hello,
I really hope, anyone in here can I help me. Recently I got an new Renault including the Media Nav Radio System. I wanted to use an Ipod Classic 80gb, 5 or 6th gen. I connect it via USB an everything is fine. The problem that is annoying me, is that if I shut down the Radio by closing the doors with the key an start the Media Nav afterwards, the iPod everytime starts playing from the "All-Songs"-Playlist and not from the point of playback I was listening to, as I stopped playing music. The iPod touch 4g (8gb) in contrast works fine and without any problems.
My question now is: is it possible in general to use the iPod Classic properly or are the Software versions used in Media Nav and iPod incompatible?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station pls

any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station please ? classic working fine, so not the fault of the station itself ? it's been bought as a present for my father & he's confused !

Check the headphone jack with a flashlight and clean it if necessary. The jack on a new Nano is very tight, be sure you push the headset jack all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

IPod classic 80GB playing just one podcast episode

I upgraded from my Fifth generation iPod and was wondering if it was possible to set my iPod Classic 80GB to play just one podcast episode and then return to the menu? It seems like the default is to move to the next podcast episode after the prior one is finished. Thanks

Yes, turn on shuffle song/albums! I know - that makes no sense
Either:
1. use the Settings menu, go to shuffle and turn it on, or;
2. while playing a song press the select (centre) button until the shuffle option appears and then turn it on.
Then when you play a Podcast the display will show 1 of 1 (instead of the 1 of X that you see now!) and at the end of that one episode, it will stop.
One important thing to note though, there is a shuffle option on the *Main Menu* but if you use that to start shuffle, it will not change the Podcasts to play-one-episode only. (For this reason, I removed the shuffle option from the *Main Menu* .)
I only found this by accident - if it's documented, I can't find it!

IPod Classic 80GB - "iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" It says it has synced but it hasn't. Help please I am not very tech minded

iPod Classic 80GB. Message reads ' iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation'. It says it has synced but it hasn't. Please help, I am not very tech minded.

See this article about troubleshooting the error message regarding access privelages. It may be preventing your iTunes library from being able to save/retain music you have recently imported to it, which may explain why no new content is being added to your device.
