IPod Classic crashes with 32.768 or more songs

After I lost the second iPod Classic with about 35.000 songs (128 kbit/s ACC; iTunes shows 15GB as free), I did some research, and with 32766 the iPod works fine, two more songs and the iPod reboots and hangs in the Apple screen, so it should be restored.
Can any one confirm this behavior? Or found a way around this problem?
Occurred on Mac OS 10.6.6 (iTunes 10.1.1) and Windows XP/Vista/7 (iTunes 10.1.1)

Perhaps it would be worth it to run a health check on your iPod's HD. See this older post from another forum member turingtest2 on how to perform this test and what the resulting numbers indicate.

IPod Classic 120GB freezes, won't add more songs

Hi Guys!
I was wondering if anyone can help me, I've been reading through some posts and it seems some people may have the same problem as me.
A friend of mine kept my iPod plugged in and was transferring all my music onto her Macbook pro, and I'm not sure what she did, but somehow it erased all my songs from the iPod. Since then every time I try to add songs, whether on iTunes or bypassing iTunes, it freezes just after adding a maximum of 300 songs, and only about 60 will be found on my iPod, or sometimes nothing at all, even when I safely remove the device.
I've even tried many attempts of restoring, reformatting, bypassing iTunes, all sorts of ways, trying a Windows format, Mac format. Nothing works. I am so upset, my iPod was full, and now that I'm traveling I don't have anything to listen to. I'm worried my iPod is permanently dead.
Can anyone diagnose my problem for me by any chance?
Thank you so much.
Kershia

My ipod classic crashes after about 2-3 days of being attached to my Kenwood KDC-248U receiver in Pickup. There are 2700 songs but only get through the first 200 Apple has replaced the Ipod 3x and Kenwood says it is not a problem with the receiver.

My ipod classic crashes after about 2-3 days of being attached to my Kenwood KDC-248C receiver in my Pickup. There are about 2700+ songs on the Ipod, but only get through the first 200 to 300 songs. The screen fades, but there is still power and a charge. Does anyone have a clue because I don't.?

There seem to be compatibilty isuue with KDC receiver and Ipod Classic firmware 1.1.2.
Here is an earlier post on the same problem.

How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (windows 8). It synced with my old computer (windows XP) but not with my new one (windows8)

How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (Windows8).? It synced with my old computer (WindowsXP) but will not do so on the new computer?

Hi Lechwe,
I had this issue recently, due to changing HD for an SSD.
In my case, since the library in my iPod was synced to the HD it was not syncing to the library in the SSD, though they were the same (had the same contents).
I found there's this checkbox in iTunes > iPod > [Settings] Music, called "Sync Music". Mine was unchecked, I guess due to iPod being synced to the old library. I marked the checkbox and clicked then in Sync. iTunes asked me if I was sure I wanted to sync the iPod with the "new" library, i clicked yes, and the it started determining the song to sync. Since the library was essentially the same (just a couple songs more in the new one), it synced the couple new songs and that was it.
Hope it helps!
Regards,
Awlo.

Ipod classic compatible with Vista Home Premium 64 bit

Hi,
Is the Ipod Classic compatible with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit?
I found out the hard way that the Itouch is not!
Greetings,
Miguel

If I could I would answer your question.
But I do not know how I did that.
Itunes has been working since day 1 on my 64 bit machine, only problem is that it takes half a minute to copy album cover art to song in itunes, the computer is hanging for 15 seconds before the album cover art is copied.
I just took the Ipod out of the box and connected it to the computer and it worked fine.
Only problem that I had yesterday is that when I'm intergrating album cover art my hard disk is doing strange things.
Just yesterday, my RAID 1 was corrupted by Itunes, first hard disk 1 was failing and an hour later hard disk 2 also crashed.
Was able to reconnect them into RAID 1, luckilly.

My iPod Classic is cutting off the ends of songs; what's up with this?

My iPod Classic is cutting off the ends of songs...just silence. The play indicator shows that there's more data there but it's just blank. The songs play fine on iTunes and the data on my PC (Windows 7, iTunes 11.02.26). And it's not always the same song... It's like random. So it's got to be a bug in the iPod Classic firmware. Any help from Apple? Get a Zune?

Is it always the same songs that get cut off? So the question is, after you do a Restore, when you re-sync songs back to the iPod, is it always the same songs that get cut off? Or are they different songs each time? Try doing a Restore and re-sync several times...
If they are the same songs, that points to a problem with the song files. Maybe there is data corruption on your computer's hard drive, that caused the song files to become corrupted in a way that iTunes on the computer can still handle, but the iPod's software cannot. The corrupted songs stay the same.
If they are different songs, that points to a problem on the iPod. If a Restore does not fix the problem, then it may be data corruption caused by the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable. When you do a re-sync after Restore, the data is not being stored properly on the iPod due to a hardware problem. It randomly affects different songs each time during the re-sync

Will my ipod classic work with windows 8

I am finally updating my Windows XP desktop to a Windows 8 laptop. Will my ipod classic work with Windows 8? I've seen a ton of problems from other users with regard to compatibility.

Do yourself a big favor. Switch to Windows 7. (Or buy a Mac.)

How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1

How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1?

You are correct in some of your assertions, Limnos but, if I were to follow Apple's wishes, I would have to purchase the latest and greatest Apple product every month! I refuse to do that. I understand that my G4 is old but, it does what I need it to do. To answer your question though, I purchased the iPod classic as a refurbished unit, about 5 years ago and had it replaced three times, since then so, there is no way for me to know how old it is.
From my knowledge of how the Classics work(which is extensive.) It is basically a hard disk. There should be of performing a low level format, plug it back in and the G4 should recognize the ROm and automatically search for the correct software associated with that version of iPod and load it but, Apple will most likely no longer carry the software on their servers anymore!(surprise,surprise.)

Is the ipod classic compatible with icloud

Is the Ipod Classic compatible with ICLOUD

No, the iPod classic has no means of connecting to Wi-Fi, thus making it incompatible with iCloud.

i just dowloaded an il divo album. when it was placed on my ipod classic it came in as 8 different songs; not listed as 1 album with 8 songs. this has happened before with other purchases. Why? How can I insure an entire album is saved as an entire album and not individual songs. And now how can I move individual songs to the album they belong in?

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

I was given an 80gb ipod classic formated with mac os. Is there any way to connect it to my windows pc so I can transfer the song to my library?

I was given an 80gb ipod classic formatted with mac os. Is there any way to connect it to my windows pc so I can transfer the song to my library? When I try to connect to my pc I get a message asking me if I want to format the drive. I want to try to save the 15000 songs that are already on the ipod. Any suggestions?

The iPod and iTunes are designed so that you cannot transfer music on an iPod to another iTunes Library. This is because the 15,000 songs do not belong to you and you have no legal right to keep them.

Can I use my Ipod Classic(MC297ZP) with Sound Kick SFQ-04 via bluetooth

can I use my Ipod Classic(MC297ZP) with Sound Kick SFQ-04 via bluetooth

If you old charger is a USB (+5V output) it will work. If it is a Firewire charger (+12V) then I think it will still work, but Apple has removed Firewire charging from most of the new iPod lines including the iPhone and 4th Generation Nano. However I think that the 120GB Classic may be the last iPod to still charge off Firewire chargers.
It won't hurt anything to try it. If it doesn't work, you will get a screen display that states that the accessory is not supported or something to that effect.
Good luck,
Patrick

Can I charge an iPod Classic 3G with the Apple USB power adapter?

I have just buy an iPod Classic 3G with 15 GB (SN JQ4239GQQQF) from ebay.
I have read that it's posible to sync it with my PC with Windows 7, but, It is not possible
to charge it by usb.
I could charge it with the Apple USB power adapter?
Thanks

With that particular model, only the Firewire cable and connection will provide power to the device. The USB cable is only for syncing.
Using the iPod Dock Connector to FireWire and USB 2.0 Cable
Here is the cable you'll need.
