Ipod classic goes back on by itself

When I set the timer on my ipod classic to go off, the music stops; but a few minutes later it frequently spontaneously begins to play again. By then I usually am not listening, so it continues without stopping.

If this problem, started after a recent Sync, does the songs skipped in iTunes?
if it does not, then you could try the Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

Good Luck!

+I tried various troubleshooting steps and each time when plugging the iPod in Itunes it starts up and it takes maybe 1 minute trying to recognize it when the computer crashes and reboots automatically going to the black screen and doing a file dump.+
I'm curious about this point. Is there any flash of a blue screen at any point here? (That's a more familiar sort of thing to be seeing prior to the system doing a restart after a serious error.)

IPod Classic's Back & Forward Button Work The Wrong Way

As I was clicking through the podcast episodes on my new iPod Classic 120GB I had to find out that if I wanted to go forward one episode I had to click the back button because if I clicked the forward button it would take me to the previous episode.
Also when I finish listening to a podcasts episode it does not jump to the next episode but to the previous episode.
I looked at the settings of the iPod but didn't find any options that would change the behavior of the iPod. I also thought it might be a sorting issue but I couldn't find anything that would change this either, nor could I find any setting in iTunes.
Is there a problem with my settings or a problem with the iPod itself?

In the iPod podcasts are organised in reverse order of release date. Most recent first, then the next oldest etc.
+"It's not a fault, it's a feature"+
Well it's a very strange feature!
Seriously, iTunes and the iPod catch and play Podcasts much better than some other Podcast Catchers and MP3 players I've tried but this is one of the few strange "features" about the Podcast capability of the iPod that let it down. Working on the philosophy that "even if you are ahead, don't stop trying to improve" Apple should at least consider the following:
1. User facility to reverse the play order of Podcasts
2. An indication that only part of a Podcast episode has been played (in addition to the existing blue {unplayed} spot)
3. Indication of the "episode time" in the menu, (so that I know if I have enough time to listen to that episode. One programme can have episodes of very different lengths.)
... and yes, I have put these in as suggestions.

My ipod classic 160 GB continually reboots itself after crashing about a half hour ago. How can I fix this?

Please help me figure out how to fix this situation, whether I can reset it or whether I need it serviced. I tried the center and menu buttons, and again, it just kept rebooting itself.
I stopped upgrading iTunes at 10.3.1, so please don't suggest that I upgrade because I need my Front Row. Plus, my iPod has been working for at least 6 months with 10.3.1.
Thank you,

Ipod classic music back to iTunes library?

I Lost my iTunes library that had my music uploaded from CD. I have downloaded iTunes again but it only has new purchased music. my ipod Classic has all the old music on it, how can I transfer the files to my new iTunes?

You can manually do it by first showing the hidden files, and then dragging them as a group to your machine.
I asked a similar Q, and got the same lame answer.
At least w/ iPads there is a backup option w/ iTunes ..
try RealPlayer on a Win7 machine

Hard drive failed, transfer ipod classic & ipad back to new drive?

Our windows laptop died and of course we replaced it with a macbook. have both an ipod classic and an ipad with music and apps that need to get on the new macbook. do it myself and how? or just let a genius do it? will they if i bought the mac from amazon?

For your iPad, you can connect to iTunes while holding the command and option keys down until the iPad appears under devices in iTunes. This will prevent syncing. Then use the iTunes File menu > Transfer purchases from XXX's iPad.
This $20 app for your iMac will allow you to transfer any non-iTunes Store music and videos to your iMac: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
This app can transfer music and videos from your iPod Classic: http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/ There is a 30 day/1000 song free trial period.

Hi out there... this problem began when I uninstalled Lion and reinstalled Snow Leopard on my older MacBook. If you have some advice for me, thanks! John

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes.
BTW, you posted in the iPod touch forum.

My iPod touch 5 will not turn on, charge, is not recognized by computer or iTunes, will only be recognized when in recovery mode but then an error 1601 occurs and iPod then goes back to being dead and nothing happens

My pod is literally not breathing, no screen display no matter what, I've tried everything, wondering if there's anything I've missed :( please help

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

How do i get my ipod classic to stop making the sad face and saying to get on apple support?

my ipod classic goes back and forth between a dimmed screen with the apple on it and a bright screen with an i pod classic that has a frowny face on it and an exclimation point and a webside at the bottom saying "apple.com/support/ipod". and i dont know what happened to make it do this.

That usually means the hard drive has failed. You might be able to find a repair shop who can replace the drive or you may be able to do it yourself depending on the model.
It may just be better in the long run to just buy a new iPod. You can get a new 160GB Classic for around $200 or so at some online retailers.

Can a 160gb back cover, headphone jack and battery work on a 120 gb ipod classic?

Can a ipod classic 160gb back cover, headphone jack and battery work/with on a 120 gb ipod classic?

Yes, the only difference is the HD capacity, the other physical attributes are the same, as there are paddings in the 120gb casing.

Ipod classic corrupted and cannot save music..

Suddenly I found out that my iPod Classic 5th Gen reset by itself and lost all music in it. I thought the hard drive was corrupted and tried to restore the iPod with iTunes. After that I mannually copied music back into iPod using iTunes. But soon I rejected the iPod off the computer (Windows 7), it reseted back to zero with no music on it.
I don't know what's going on. Do any you share me some tips how to fix this thing? It is really frustrated and hope that you can help me.
Appreciated,
Alann
