Ipod classic 80GB wont open when the charger is disconnected - battery ?

my ipod doesnt open if i removed it from the charger whats wrong help me out guys thanks

What do you mean "Open"??
If you mean that it won't turn on or show you the list, I would definatley say that the battery is shot.
Otherwise, please explain because the iPod is normally a contained device and won't open (physically)

How come my ipod classic 80gb wont show up on my computer or itunes

can anyone tell me why my ipod classic 80gb wont show up on my computer anywhere

Hi lllaass,
Do you know of any solutions to restore my ipod touch generation 1 or 2 I think. Itunes says it cannot restore and now it won't work? Do I have to go to an apple store or do you have any advise?
Thanks!

My ipod classic 120 wont respond and the screen is frozen

my ipod classic 120 wont respond and the screen is frozen

Hello Charles,
What happens if you try to do a hard reset? To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may or may not work the first time around so be sure to attempt this at least a minimum of three times.
If the iPod remains frozen, let the iPod's battery drain completely, but attempting to recharge the iPod.

IPod Classic 80Gb, wont show up in iTunes 8, but does in Finder

Just plugged my iPod classic 80Gb in and it wont show in iTunes 8, although it shows up in Finder
Tried a iPod reset. restarted my Mac but no good.
Come on man I need to do a sync....

I have a similar problem.
This morning, all music was gone from my iPod, just like that. I had been having troubles with playing a couple of songs last night if that's connected. Anyway, I connect it to my Macbook. I try to reset it through iTunes and that was done, I pressed eject and ejected it when it said OK to disconnect -- although when I did so it said it wasn't ejected properly. Now when I connect it appears in Finder as a device (like that thingy that appears when you install stuff, a white thing) but it doesn't in iTunes. In fact, as soon as I plug it in iTunes freezes and I can't open it or do anything in there, the marker just shows that it's loading.
What do I do?

Why does my ipod classic (80gb) connect for a few seconds then disconnect?

I have a ipod classic 80gb, granted its old, but it has a big memory so I can store my whole collection. Anyway, when I connect it to my PC (with windows 8.1) it will connect for a few seconds then disconnect. It will sometimes start to sync, but then disconnect after a few seconds. My computer is pretty new, Acer Aspire V5. I have tried reinstalling itunes, a new cable to connect it, different usb ports(2) and with and without the pc plugged into the mains, which is when it starts to sync for a brief second. Has anyone else had the same problem??

The S.I. prefix Giga is used to mean both 1000x1000x1000 and 1024x1024x1024. Computer software typically uses the second version, but using the first number makes the same number of bytes appear bigger when expressed as Gb, so is favoured by hard drive manufactures.
80Gb10 = 74.3Gb2
It's a bit like specifying a quantity in gallons without saying whether they are US or Imperial gallons - everybody gets the same volume but one number will be bigger than the other. I could offer you a tank with 10 Imperial gallons of fuel in it - but if I tell you it's 12 US gallons it sounds like you're getting more for your money.
Once the total size of your library exceeds the capacity of your device all you need to do is create some size limited playlists to determine what goes on the device. Don't sync all movies, sync one or two that you plan to watch soon. Likewise with TV Shows. Limit podcasts to unplayed episodes and finally create a music subset. What worked for me for some time was a smart playlist called Steve's Tunes defined as Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude where Exclude was regular playlist that I would manually add to until Steve's Tunes was small enough to fit. These days I run an iPhone and have a number of smart playlists with ? Gb of most played, ? Gb of highly rated, ? Gb of recently added, ? Gb of essentials, ? Gb of unplayed etc. Each time I sync I get slightly updated selection without having to put any extra effort in.

I am Having iPOD Classic 80GB.On Sync. a message tells that it is not able toread the ipod contents -restore to factory settings-on restoring it tells that it can not be restored as it has files that are used by other applications. Pl advice

I am having iPOD classic 80GB . I Have the 10.5Latest Version of iTunes installed. When I go for Sync.It tells me to restore to factory settings as it is unable to read the contents. On restoring it tells : unable to restore as this has files that are in use by another application. I have no idea what to do now. Pl advise. Thanks

Try disabling any and all A/V or security software you are running on your system and see if that helps.

Ipod classic not connecting (not even showing 'do not disconnect' on Ipod)

Help! I have an ipod classic and, since I upgraded to itunes 9, I have noticed that, all of a sudden, my ipod won't connect at all.
When I connect the USB cable to the ipod, the screen lights up but does not start charging nor does it show 'do not disconnect', and the ipod is obviously not recognised by Itunes. I have tested the same USB port on my printer with no problems, so it doesn't seem to be the port. I have also tried downgrading to itunes 8 with no problems. I have tested the cable and ipod on another computer and it worked fine. I am basically all out of ideas as to how to fix it.
When I restart the computer with the ipod plugged in, the ipod briefly starts charging and shows 'do not disconnect' before disappearing after a few seconds. It is a total mystery to me.
Does anyone have any ideas whatsoever? I am getting desperate!!!

I have the same problem as you describe it. My iPod Classic 160GB freezes up when I plug the apple usb cable into the iPod. I am using Windows 7 64bit, and iTunes v9.0.2.25 64bit for Windows Vista & Windows 7. Firmware 2.0.3 PC. And I do not have this problem with my iPod Classic 80GB.
This is the workaround to the problem: Reset your iPod. You need to hold down the center button and MENU button TOGETHER, and wait for the iPod to start resetting. Then release the buttons. When the Reset completes, it should start synchronizing normally.

Hello adifromba
Try putting your iPod Classic into Disk Mode to force a restore within iTunes to get it to show up. The steps to do that are within the first article below, I have also provided a second article for further troubleshooting if it continues to not show up.

Generic USB auto charger will not charge iPod Classic 80Gb

I have two generic USB auto plug adapters that deliver the USB standard 5VDC, 500Ma output. My 3G iPod charges from either of these using the Apple-supplied USB cable. My iPod Classic 80Gb appears to receive power from these, but will not charge. Is an Apple-sanctioned auto charger required, or does the Classic not charge from such sources? If the later, which I doubt, back it goes to as this "breaks" the Classic for me. If the former, might anyone know why this is the case with the Classic? I sincerely hope it's not a thinly veiled excuse to drive sales of Apple-sanctioned auto chargers which may also drive me to return it out of resentment (I returned a Creative Xen Micro Photo since it also would not charge from these whereas the older Zen Micro did. The Micro Photo required a $30 charger from Creative with a large, in-line "lump" possibly for the "magic charging handshake").

Thanks for the reply.
"I assume the iPod charges with the SAME cable when plugged into a computer?"
Yes, the iPod charges with the same cable when plugged into a computer, even one without iTunes installed.
I opened both of the chargers and see that all four lines are connected. I'll break out my voltmeter and see what pins are powered and compared them with those on my computer and go from there. According the following URL, pins 1 and 4 are for power and pins 2-3 are for data: http://www.hardwarebook.info/UniversalSerial_Bus(USB)
I may also try a dedicated iPod auto charger as these are not too expensive.

I traded my iPod Classic 80GB at the apple store for a junk one.

I recently traded my iPod Classic 80GB for a new one because my friends dock messed up my iPod. Then I received a "new one" (notice the quotes). This didn't seem like it was new. I got home and synchronized it to my iTunes. I ejected it properly and all the stuff like that. I picked a song and it played properly but, when i pressed the menu button it did nothing. So, I kept pressing it and eventually got it when I pressed it very hard, which shouldn't happen. I tested all the other buttons and i realized that the menu button didn't work properly, the play/pause button wasn't stable (you have to press it hard and hold it completely still until it turned off or played a song, the next song button didnt work, the iPod could not reset because of the broken buttons and everything was "laggy." (Meaning that the scrolling the volume up and down had a slow, very choppy movements). Also when it would go to another screen it would take about 3-7 seconds to react. When I tested my friends iPod Classic 80GB, it did not do any of this. Just the other day I tried to reset it (holding down the play/pause button and the center button) then all the buttons stopped working. I pressed every single button it did not work. It didn't even reset. Would I get a new one if I brought it back to the apple store?

The entire point of any warranty is that it guarantees against manufacturer defect for the term of the warranty. There is no guarantee past the warranty period. This is the way a warranty works.

Try the remaining items of:
- 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 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. However,it may not be worth it for a 2G iPod. Might just trash it.

HT1384 My iPod Classic doesn't appear to be charged. There is nothing on the screen. Has anyone else had this problem?

My week old iPod classic doesn't appear to be charged although it has been connected to my laptop. Nothing happens when I select the menu. I've followed the trouble shooting suggestions but nothing has changed. I've shut down my laptop and rebooted it. Still nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

How long did you leave the iPod to charge? Have you tried doing a hard reset to see if that makes a difference? To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Hello there, Conorjl7.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some good, practical steps for troubleshooting issues with charging:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
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.
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.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Please tell me which Ipod dock adapter is compatible with the Ipod Classic 80GB? They no longer make this particular Ipod and I need the right dock adapter for my Panasonic SC-HC25 stereo system I recently purchased.

Look through the compatible list chart and see which 80GB model are you using, either ID 9 or 10. you can order through Apple Online Store.
