IPod classic having trouble to eject.

I plugged my iPod classic into my mac and it finished syncin my music and i clicked eject, but it wont work and says it contains files that are in use by another application, someone help please!

If song files are being used by another application, then it is possible to see that message.
Are you, or were you, modifying songs in another programme such as Garageband or Audacity? On a Windows PC, anti-virus software checking the music files can cause this issue, but I don't know how this works on a Mac.
In the end, you should be able to turn off the computer and once turned off, you simply disconnect the iPod from the computer, because at that time, no prgrammes are using the iPod , including iTunes.

Ipod classic having trouble to connect my car USB

I use to connect everyday in my new camry 2012 but recently it is not connecting through USB . when i plugin into USB it just shows charging . when i connected to my laptop its works fine.
i checked with my wife iPhone , it is working fine in my car with USB.

Reset the iPod and connect it back to the Car Audio.
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.
Connect to the Audio System.

IPod Classic having strange issues

My 80 Gig iPod Classic is having the following issues:
1.) It appears empty when I search for songs using the wheel.
2.) It shows on my desktop as "Unknown" and is ejectable when I drag it to the trash.
3.) When I put it into disk mode, clicking the mounted disk on my desktop shows pictures and about 150 songs that are unchangeable (i.e., I tried deleting stuff and I was given error code 61.)
4.) I can reset it using Menu+Select, and I can also put it into disk mode.
5.) When plugged in to my computer it displays "connected, eject before disconnecting."
6.) When I eject it (by using the trash bin) it displays "ok to disconnect" - but it immediately resets, the Apple logo comes on, and it asks me to select a language preference.
7.) When it's first plugged in, iTunes will open and the Apple logo at the top of the screen will flash quickly, but the device does not show on the left hand side of the screen.
And the biggest problem...
8.) It is not recognized by iTunes - therefore I can't figure out how to restore it.
I have 8 other kinds of iPods/iPhones, all of them are recognized by iTunes (version 9.1) using my MacBook Pro, using 3 different USB ports. I've restarted iTunes, my computer, everything, and I still cannot get the device to show in iTunes.
Any suggestions to get this going?

The Very FIrst iPod Classic - Having Issues

So, my brother's iPod keeled over and I told him I'd see what I can do. It's one of the very first iPod classics. They don't even sell these anymore. It's a 20GB metal design from 2004. I figure it's just fried, but I still wanna try. I don't think it died until recently, which is a shame. Even charging for a whole 48 hours, it wont turn on. I've tried resetting it numerous times.
Anyone wanna try and help? Any advice is appreciated.
NOTE: I do realise this is probably pointless since it's so old. I don't expect to fix it. It'd just be cool if I did.

It sounds like a third gen iPod. Does it have four buttons in a horizontal row with a circular wheel below? All of these buttons and the wheel touch sensitive? If so, it's a third gen. If it has a clickwheel and it's 2004, it's a fourth gen.
Sounds like the battery's gone. Just replace it yourself. It's like $30 with a DIY kit.

IPod Classic having massive problems (Not able to connect, Music gone, Etc)

First of all I bought my iPod classic little over 6-7 months ago.
1.About three months in my iPod started to erase my music... So I reset it, didn't work, and restored it to the factory setting.
Now Starting 3 weeks ago, it started to have this massive problems, The musics disappeared even though I disconnected it. So I restored it..AGAIN, but it still does it with new musics.
2. Now it will not even connect itself to the computer anymore. I've erased the iTunes, Reset the iPod, Restored it, but it will work when it feels like it (I've also tried my friends iPod...Wire...Connector.)

Hi, I have not made back up. So I will be loosing all data and apps and music. Do you know any other way to overcome and save all the music and apps in my ipod? My ipod s working fine only problem is I can sync it to itunes it says-"itunes cannot read the contents of the ipod " Go to the Summary tab in ipod preference and click Restore to restore this ipod to factory settings". It is the same error message. Is there any alternate ways to save my music photos and apps ?

Ipod Classic audiobook trouble

Ok, so in an effort to separate my books from my music I have spent weeks (I have a lot of audiobooks) combining my multiple track books into one file for each book. So now, they show up in the audiobooks section of my ipod in alphabetical order by album title (book title at this point). I started listening to one book, and noticed when it finished that it automatically began the next book in alphabetical sequence. Why would it do that?
And, problem number 2. I have one book that has a bookmark of some sort in it and the ipod will not let me fast forward past that point. I can play past that point, but not fast forward. Everytime I let off the fast forward button it automatically goes back to that bookmark spot. I don't SEE anything a bookmark, but something is there that prevents fast forward.
Any ideas?

Ipod classic photo troubles

I have an 80g iPod classic, and am using a spanking new macbook 13". up until now, everything worked fine, but then I noticed that whenever I plugged my iPod in, it synced ALL of my photos again and again. When I looked, the photos were not on the iPod when it was disconnected. After investigating further, I've found that not all of my iCal calendars are being synced either. I've checked the options in iTunes and they're all set to all sync. Can anyone help?

I have a new 120gb iPod Classic, and only 2 of my iCal calendars sync...At first, they would all sync if I re-synced the calendars, but not anymore. They are not in folders either. All my photos seem to sync with the iPod

IPod classic quits charging after ejecting from iTunes

Running Windows 8.1, more of a recent problem I noticed. I'm guessing the solution has to do with going into device manager, but not sure what the fix is. Any help?? Thank you for your time.

It turns out I am having the same problem, and I am also using Windows 8.1. I'm pretty sure that I haven't plugged in my iPod since the update. At first my laptop wasn't recognizing that my iPod was plugged in at all, and after I uninstalled the driver then reinstalled it, it started working again. My best idea for a solution right now is to put the iPod into Disk Mode, because it seems to be charging that way. But maybe Apple could check on a driver update, or what ever it is that is causing the problem.

Ipod Touch having trouble syncing with my MacBookPro (I have 2.0.2 update)

Well, my Ipod Touch is not able to sync with my MacBookPro and Itunes. I have the 2.0.2 update, and I know it messes things up, but I've had it since the day it was released and I haven't had trouble syncing before, so I don't think that is the problem. I plug my Ipod Touch in, my computer recognizes it and my Ipod starts to charge... than it starts to sync and after 30 seconds at the most, usually after 5-10 seconds, my ipod goes to the home screen like nothing happened(nothing syncs), and itunes does one of three things. It either: continues to think its syncing to my ipod, it acts as if the Ipod has been unplugged, or it goes to my Ipods summary page as if it was syncing, though nothing is syncing.
What should I do, I've tried to be as detailed as possible, but if more detail is needed, just ask.
Thanks in advance to all who can help

I have this problem too, but on an iPhone 3g rather than a Touch. I basically cannot sync calendars at all so any calendar additions i need on my mac i just have to enter manually. It's been like this since August despite many attempt to do a restore and fix it. I even tried clearing out all my calendars thinking that perhaps there were too many entries. Anyone have any ideas?

2.2 Generation one Ipod touch having trouble connecting to wifi

Ok, I am having a BIG issue with connecting my ipod touch to a linksys WRT54GX4 wireless router running WPA/WPA2 wireless security (there is an option that allows BOTH to be selected, but I disabled WPA2 as an option after I first started having issues with the IPOD touch wifi).
Here are all the details.
Bought the Ipod touch last December and while the firmware version was in the "1's", I had no issues connecting to the router and using the wifi functions.
After the 2.0 upgrade, I had intermittent connection issues with the router. Sometimes, I could connect to the router easily and maintain a connection; however, the MAJORITY of the time, I would select the router from the wifi list, and receive a "Cannot connect to router" error. When I could connect, I would often lose my connection after a minute or two (regardless of using safari, youtube or the email client; all three would cause the connection to drop).
Now, in 2.2, I STILL get issues connecting to the router with no seeming relief! I find that after I restart the router (power off for 30 seconds), I am able to connect, albeit with a slower connection, for a while. After I put the Ipod on "hold" after that first time, I start getting the problems I listed above with intermittent connectivity. Since I am not the only person in my household who uses my router wirelessly, powering off the router whenever I want to connect the IPOD is NOT an option!
Here are connection logs from the router, annotated by me to show different attempts to connect. I hope these can help a technician resolve my problem:

#Same here#
This is incredibly frustrating. Should I return the IPOD to an apple store and ask for a new one? Is there a setting on my router that will allow the IPOD to actually connect?
Some more information:
*Mac filtering is off.
*Encryption algorithm is TKIP
*Group renewal key is 3600 seconds
*First installed firmware 2.0 OVER 1.4. After I got wifi issues, I restored the ipod to 2.0 after a full format. Did not solve my problems.
Please help...

I am so disappointed! The exact samething has happened to me, AND my husbands Touch. We had no problems before, and as you say with 2.1 a little stared - I ignored it because I love and defend my touch. After 2.2 all heck broke loose, I went to the genius bar and of course it ran perfect there. I had numerous screen shoots in one day, 'failed to connect to server, safari server, gmail server' - timed out blah blah blah, so they suggested I call my internet provider, they run a test and everything fine, they suggest I call the router people, ten bucks later and with nothing really showing a problem with the router our Touches still do not work like they used to. I am NOT buying a iphone, I want Apple to fix it or tell me how, it worked fine before what the heck gives, I wish someone could answer honestly.
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest, I really hate to switch to Zune as my nephew has been bragging about.

To All IPod Users having Trouble with Live Updating playlists.

I thought I should share this with other IPod users as there is quite a bit of discussion on the net about it.
After 3 days trying to get "Smart Playlists"to live update on my IPod touch, reading, researching and reading more, I finally got my Ipod playlist to live update.
I've discovered that certain rules break live updating.
OK it is only a basic set of rules, but it is working.
The 1st thing I did was group all my songs using the "Composer" field. Do not use sorting, it breaks live updating.
example: All songs were composed by Music, all Soundtracks were composed by Soundtrack. And so on. I did this in ITunes using "Get Info".
I placed two rules in my playlist:
Composer is Music
Last Played is not in the last 6 months.
I ticked "Live Update"
Do not use Limit to as this breaks Live Updating as well.
If your list is in a different order on your IPod then in ITunes just select any other column in ITunes other than the numbered column, e.g. Name. Your list should match now in both ITunes and your IPod.
Just use shuffle within the playlist to mix things up.
Once played your track should drop off your playlist.
Hope this helps.

I live by my Smart playlist to sort out all my TV shows and Video Podcast but it suddenly stopped updating after I paid $25 for the iTunes Match service.
It stopped in iTunes. I don't worry to much about my iPhones because I plug them in every day and it will update iTunes.
If iTunes doesn't work the apple TV, iPads and iPhones don't work.
Do I need to cancel the iTunes Match service?
Please someone find a fix.

My ipod is having trouble with the lock function. It is pausing when I lock and sometimes going to the beginning of the podcast I listened to.

Any help?
