IPod Classic calendar display bug

I just bought an iPod Classic (Version 2.0.5).  When viewing calendar events (synced from my iMac's Calendar) on the iPod Classic, any text longer than the width of the iPod screen does not wrap to the next line, and instead just disappears off the side of the screen.
What's up with that?  My old iPod Photo didn't have this problem.  Wrapping text to the screen width seems like should be a very basic issue to have done right.  Here's an example of what it's doing:
The Calendar event on the iMac (10.8.5):
How the same event appears on the iPod Classic:
Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this an embarassing Apple bug?

iPod Classic alarm has never worker reliably!
"Geniuses" & phone support are clueless and disempowered to do anything about it. Apple doesn't seem to read these posts.
You must restore your iPod to version 1.1.1 then reset your iPod and leave it alone for the alarm to go off. Problem is, resetting will loose any changes you recently made to the alarm. Seems alarm will not play a song if you are on pause. Alarm is not triggering a high level interrupt and playing no matter what is going on. Maybe apple programmer think this is a "feature" that alarm won't play a song if another song is cued.
Please post feedback and tell programmers that alarm still doesn't work in v1.1.1 and we want it to fire off the player list no matter what is going on.

  • IPod classic's display: always have to see time?

    Hello,
    I really go used to my 30GB iPod over the years and miss its display. Whereas the new iPod classic shows the time/clock while listening to a song, the display of the 30GB iPod showed the actual song that was playing.
    Is there any (easy) way to change the display of the iPod classic? The display really bugs me! I've read that there are some crazy hack-jobs to help with this issue, but I was hoping for something easier.
    Thanks!

    And I do realize this has been posted before. I am hoping that since it's been posted on here, perhaps there has been a fix for it. I'm guessing not, though?

  • IPod Classic Calendar Sync Problem

    I have an 80 gig iPod classic, and it works perfectly fine except for the calendar sync function. I really want to get my Outlook calendar on my iPod, and for some reason whenever I sync it, it says it is syncing my calendars and takes a long time. Then I check my calendar on my iPod and the calendar is empty. I've made sure that the box is checked for it to sync calendars from Outlook, and I've even cleared Outlook plug-ins, leaving only iTunes and my security plug-in. I have also tried syncing it after doing these things multiple times and the same thing happens.
    How can I get my Outlook calendar onto my iPod classic?

    doesn't work for me with classic 120, vista and outlook 2007.
    Looks like it needs a fix and will have to wait for apple to sort it.

  • Iphone 4 and ipod classic computer autorisation bug

    Hi there,
    I'm having some problems with both my ipod and iphone.
    I use my iphone on my PC and my Mac so 2 machine only it has not been connected anywhere else, however it tells me that I have it authorised on 4 machines and so i have only 1 authorisation left.
    My ipod classic is even worst, as it is only ever being connected to my PC and more than once it has asked me to be authorised and i think i have no more authorisations left.
    Many times after a major itunes update the PC will ask me to authorise the ipod for this itunes library.
    is it possible to reset this authorisations? and why is this happening ayway?
    Thanks
    Miky

    I have Windows 8 Pro on my computer purchased from Microsoft for $39.99
    I have the latest version of Itunes
    I have desktop and the drivers seem to be installed but says "Windows encounted a problem installing the driver software of your device"for both iphone 4 and ipod classic 160gb.
    The drivers are there and the actuall Apple products work but diagnostics in itunes don't recognise it. I''ve done Norton One/360 scans and no good. I paid Apple $39 dollars to fix and they said its a microsoft issue along with Symnatec.
    I've disable the driver for Ipod and Iphone and reinstalled. It just says error updating the drivers and yesterday ipod worked and then did check for repair drivers and hardware and enabled ipod and iphone. Microsoft had a huge queue for 2 days and Apple don't understand windows 8. Can you help me diesel vdub? or anyone?

  • IPod classic calendar

    Now that my Sony HD5 seems to be on its last legs I'm thinking of biting the bullet and getting an iPod. I have a (probably very noobish) question about the PIM functions though: how do I get my data into them? Is it a question of syncing with MS Outlook (please god no :P) or will iTunes sync a .ics calendar file and an address book onto the device for me? This is on Windows XP by the way.

    What I was really trying to do is get an iCal file (.ics) onto my iPod without using Outlook (I normally use Thunderbird for my email, and I'm using Gmail at the moment because my main computer is being repaired). It [seems|http://www.xenzero.com/blog/2007/10/06/sync-google-calendar-with-ipod-on -ubuntu-linux> however that I can simply copy a .ics file onto a folder in the iPod (OK that link is for a Linux automation of the task, but the iPod folder structure is independent of the operating system you use it on no?) using Windows Explorer. That would work fine for me - I don't need two-way sync (I don't know if you can even edit appointments on the iPod), just a means of getting a calendar from my desktop (or Google Calendar, haven't decided which I'm using yet) onto the iPod for reading on the move.
    Ah well, I suppose that's something I can find out when I speak to the people at the retail store (going to make one of those free Personal Shopper appointments)

    Try putting the iPod into disk mode manually, then attempt a restore via iTunes.

  • My 6th generation 160gb ipod classic is displaying the red cross logo directing me to apple support. It's completely full and I'm wondering how I can recover the files form it. The iPod isn't recognized by my computer or by iTunes, help is appreciated!

    Looking for help as to recover the files, thanks!

    Hello Lawrence,
    I do have AppleMobileDeviceService.exe running.
    My USBs are plugging in straight into the laptop.  All 4 work.  Just today, I synced my iPod with multiple USB ports.  It works for the iPod, but the iPhone won't pop-up.  The iPhone does not appear in iTunes as a button anywhere.
    I am unable to use another computer for this.  I can actually go into iTunes, add file to library, and add photos that way.  So, it's recognized by my computer.
    This should have been seperated.  Basically, I don't have another computer accessible to me to back-up sync on iTunes with.
    The last part means in iTunes, I can click "File > Add file to library" and the iPhone is shown as a camera icon.  I can click on it and have access to photos.  I can add those photos to the iTunes library.  That's about as far as the connectivity goes with the iPhone right now.

  • Ipod classic will only show apple sign and a big red X when I try to do anything? What happened? How do I fix it?

    Ipod classic froze and after resetting it, will only show a grey apple sign and a big red X when I try to do anything. Don't know what happened. Don't know how to fix it. Tried everything it says to do in support. At this point I would be happy with getting it back to  factory default.

    I bought a 160gb iPod classic every time I try to put music on my external hard drive only copy up to 1500 songs and then freezes Itune me and I can not close, asks me to restore the ipod as factory, and do nothing . I try to close the program and itune will not let me, I try to turn off the computer and I can not shut, I looked to see if the iPod disk errors and says it's okay. I restored it about 8 times and I've put music and videos but I always delete everything. I crushed and Selection Menu to enter diagnostic sistemade or ipod and I put the manual test where I enter the IO and q tells me everything is fine. I have already given several Format directly from the Windows 7 and anything either, I always delete everything from passing over 1300 songs and I congeal whole team. No longer have to think of this company because Apple gives no solution has this issue.

  • Ipod classic will only show up as new ipod

    I've had an Ipod Classic for about half a year now, having purchased it new from B&H over the summer, and it's worked just fine. Today, however, upon plugging it into my computer, I was greeted with the "New ipod" screen in itunes. The ipod still works fine, plays music, everything, but I cannot access it within itunes, as the only option is to sync it by clicking "Get Started" in the itunes window.

  • Incorrect display iCal calendar events on iPod Classic

    Hi.
    I'm the owner of iPod Classic 120Gb with latest firmware (2.0.1)
    I synchronise iCal calendars with my iPod Classic.
    My events in "iCal" contain much of the text, but iPod Classic can show only little first part of text when i select this events.
    I cannot see all text.
    It is incorrect
    For Example - iPod Nano 4gen can show all text of this events.

    They do sync back for me. So, I'm not sure what the problem is. You might try resetting the sync history:

    Alternatively, (and drastically) maybe Restore your IPT.
    Hope this helps...

  • IPod Classic Won't Display Notes or Contacts

    After I installed iTunes 11.1.0.126, my notes and contacts don't display on my iPod Classic.  I have the "enable disk use" option checked on iTunes. I have manually saved txt files saved to the Notes folder and vcf (vCard) files saved to the Contacts folder on my iPod.  When I select "Notes" on my iPod, I get the display "No Notes" even though there are notes entered. Likewise, when I select "Contacts" on my iPod, I get the display "No Contacts".
    Thanks for Responding,
    George

    I have discovered a bug in iTunes related to this issue.  If you click on "Enable Disk Use" in the Summary tab in iTunes with your iPod Classic 160 connected, you can then manually add notes and contacts.  Unfortunately, if you uncheck it and then sync your device, all of the manually added Notes and Contacts will disappear on your device.  The only way you can make Notes and Contacts reappear is to use the restore function on the Summary tab in iTunes with your device connected.  Of course if you do this it will erase everything on the device and you will have to start over again like it is new.
    A word to the wise, if you ever check "Enable Disk Use" don't ever uncheck it.

  • My ipod classic 80G is displaying the error message "this accessory is not supported" when placed on my Altec Lansing dock

    Ipod is 80G Classic and displaying no other unusal or faulty behaviour. In the couple of days between the dock working fine and the error message appearing, there were no software updates. The ipod is actually a couple of years older than the dock- what's going on?

    So the iPod worked previously on this particular dock? Does Altec's support website state that it supports your particular model iPod Classic?
    Have you tried a hard reset of the device with it still connected to the dock?  To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    It wouldn't hurt to also check the dock connector on the iPod for any signs of debrisa and bent or corroded pins that could be blocking the connection between the dock and iPod.
