And it freezes while syncing an5d sometimes when im listening to songs

Your iPod seems to have data corruption. You should probably do a Restore on the iPod using iTunes. This will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. Hopefully, all the songs on the iPod are in your iTunes library...

After the Restore, set up automatic syncing to sync your iTunes music library to the iPod again, and it should be back to normal.

My music won't play on my ipod classic 160GB and it skips songs can anyone help me?

My ipod classic 160GB won't play my music there is sound coming from it but the music won't play and it skips songs as well does anyone now how to fix that?

Have you checked if your Earphones are working?
Do you get the Music menu after the reset? (what is display on the Screen? song playing)
Normally if you Reset the iPod, it will turn the shuffle mode off, but do check under setting that shuffle mode is off.

Why is my ipod classic freezing and crashing/deleting my itunes??

When I connect my ipod Classic to my laptop the screen on the ipod says that is connected (Eject before disconnecting etc) however my itunes isn't showing my ipod as being connected and therefore I can't sync.
As a bonus, my itunes freezes as soon as my ipod is connected to the laptop and I can't disconnect my ipod or close itunes. The first time this happened I had to shut my computer down to be able to disconnect and when I restarted it I was faced with a major system error! My computer told me that this was likely connected to a portible media device's installation software and Windows was thankfully able to run a self-diagnostic, solve the problem and restart after 2hours.
When i got restarted, itunes was gone from my system completely!!! I reistalled the software from itunes website and thankfully my music library was still there I thought I was in the clear but when I connected my ipod once again I encountered the same problems all over again.
This has only happened since I updated itunes software 2 weeks ago after an alert from itunes. I get these regularly and I always update and have never had any problems until now. I am not even sure which version I updated to as I just clicked install without paying much attention to the version number.
Can anyone offer help or advice? I'm going on holiday this weekend and the thought of a 12 hour flight with no music is horrible.
Thanks in advance.

Disconnect you iPod from the PC
Put your iPod into DiskMode, (refer to this Apple Support Article)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363?viewlocale=en_US
Connect the iPod to PC, but close iTunes when it opens up, you need to do the iPod hardisk filesystem repair.
in my Computer or WinExplorer, right click the iPod->Properties->Tools
Click on Error Check
Tick on both Autofix filesystem and Scan for bad sector.
Click OK.
After finish the error check, disconnect and connect back the iPod (give a delay of 1 minute)
If iTunes launch, select the iPod and Restore.
The above should work if you don't have too many plugins installed that conflicts with iTunes, such as Antivirus, emails and skins that make the Vista to look like Windows 7 or Mac OS X.
Good Luck!

When I try to play one of the games my ipod classic freezes and I can not do anything what do I do

Can anyone help as to either why my iPod freezes when I try to play the games or how to sort it out when it freezes

You could try to reset your iPod. Here is how:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.

Is there a way to transfer songs from a Sony 16GB MP3 player to an iPod Classic? Tried dragging the songs to iTunes,only accepted 1400 of the songs. MP3 player was full. I also had compiled the songs in a specific order and iTunes changed order.

The songs from the Sony MP3 player need to be imported into your iTunes library first before they can be synced or added to your iPod Classic.
Regarding the songs that didn't import into iTunes, what format are they in and what seems to be different from them compared with the tracks that did import?

60gb ipod photo keeps freezing and skipping through songs

I've had my 60gb ipod photo for almost a year and it keeps freezing and skipping through songs and sometimes it won't respond to a reset. I have to let the battery run down in order to use it again. I have restored it several times and it seems to keep happenning at least once a week.I have the latest software for it. Is there any thing else I can do?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync what you want
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

The album artwork on my iPod Classic is all mixed up. Wrong artwork on each song..

Why does the album artwork on my iPod Classic get all mixed up wheres it is correct in the library. Please help

Hello Derick,
This usually happens as the result of a corrupt iPod artwork cache. The only way to correct this is to restore your iPod to factory settings via iTunes. Doing so will rebuild your iPod's artwork cache. Not exactly sure as to how or why the corruption happened to begin with.

IPod Classic Freezes Everything!

Ok so it seems there are alot of these questions on this website but none of them have helped me. So I have the 7th Gen iPod Classic 160GB and out of nowhere it just wouldnt sink all my songs (about 6500) and ever since then whenever its plugged into a computer it freezes the whole computer. Ive tried safe modes and disk mode and everything on these forums and nothing seems to work. I love my iPod and just want to be able to use it again.
Any info would be great thanks.

TS1382 I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it back up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that

I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still showing 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it backed up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that memory or to get it the music back, there is approximately over 1400 songs on it?

What is the memory being used by, is it Other? If it is, that means the iPod can no longer read the music, so it has put it all in "Other".
The usual fix for this is to allow the iPod to Sync with its iTunes Library. If that doesn't work, the next option is to Restore the iPod using the Restore command in iTunes, on the Device/Summary pane.
Unless you are very (very) lucky, I suspect that you are going to have to Restore your iPod. Restoring will remove everything form the iPod and put back onto it only what it finds in your iTunes Library, which you say is currently empty.
If you have to rebuild your Library after this issue, by adding all the music back again, this is going to be hard to hear, but for the future, you may want to consider always having a backup of your library. The easiset way to back the Library up is;
if the Library is small enough, burn it to a DVD, as digital files, not a "music CD".
If your Library is too large for a DVD, buy yourself an external hard drive and copy the Library onto the drive. Remember to update the backup every so often.

HT1320 why does my iPod classic freeze up when i plug it in to my computer

why does my iPod classic freeze up when i plug it in to my computer

It's not a "fix," actually. If that is a 4th gen iPod connected using USB, you need to do what it says and plug it in to the white square power adapter that originally came with those models. Later Apple power adapters should work; third-party adapters may or may not work. It has something to do with voltage. The USB connection to computer does not provide the required voltage (although it's obviously fine for normal syncing and charging).
If that iPod is connected to a FireWire port, it apparently provides the required voltage, because that step does not come up during the Restore. That model was a transition between iPod connecting to FireWire and connecting to USB. Earlier models required FireWire. Later models only used USB.
If you don't have an adapter, and there is an Apple Store nearby, I guess you could take it to the store's Genius Bar. I'm sure they have a power adapter there, to complete the Restore. (Just don't let them re-do the Restore on a Mac, if you use a Windows PC. Different storage formatting.)

My iPod classic shakes and makes pinging noises, should this be happening?

No, a normal iPod Classic doesn't shake and makes pinging noises, unless you are playing a pinging song. I would suggest you read this exorcism post by tt2
