IPod classic music deleted while charging

i was listening to my iPod classic when it died due to not being charged. I plugged it into a dock to charge. When I took it off all the music pictures and videos were gone. Is there anyway to retrieve all that I lost??

  • IPod Classic Music deleted

    So I have a old 80GB iPod Classic so i can look at the music on there going through my computer. i recently brought a MacBook Air and wanted to transfer the music from my iPod to my mac without syncing it as yet because a lot of my music is from old cd's and not considered a purchase so it wouldn't transfer over.
    I tried through the way that i use to all the time and now my iPod is stating that there is no music on there but i go and have a look through my computer or the mac equivalent and it is still on there.
    Is there a way that i can transfer my music off my iPod then restore it then add it all back on?
    I have 11205 songs and have collected it from since i was 13 and i dont want to loose it.

    Finder has a user preference to show hidden files?  Couldn't find it.  But that CNET article describes a method that seems to be your way (using a utility to show hidden files). 
    http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-transfer-music-from-an-ipod-to-your-computer/
    If you can't copy off the data using Finder, there is probably serious data corruption on the iPod's disk.
    Have you tried doing a Repair Disk on the iPod's disk using Disk Utility, or a third-party utility (such as TechTool Pro).  NOTE:  It's possible for an attempt at repair to make things worse.

  • IPod Classic music artwork Displayed on TV????

    Is there a way to display my iPod Classic music artwork to my TV like my Zune does?

    You cannot drag and drop photos. Read your manual and you will quickly find out it mentions nothing. However in ITunes, click edit and preferences while your IPOD is connected. Click IPOD tab and you will see a photos tab. Designate where your photos are you want to snyc.

  • My Ipod classic stopped suddenly while playing on the dock. On checking it said connect to iTunes to restore and the battery had also exhausted itself. On connecting to iTunes it kept displaying the message Do Not Disconnect. It never worked after that.

    My Ipod classic stopped suddenly while playing on the dock. On checking it said connect to iTunes to restore and the battery had also exhausted itself. On connecting to iTunes it kept displaying the message Do Not Disconnect but showed the battery getting charged. Sometime later it said OK TO DISCONNECT. It never worked after that. Please help /guide to restore...

    Hello Harrywahi,
    Sorry to hear about the trouble you are having with your unresponsive iPod classic.  I found a resource that I think would help in a situation like this.

  • How to put my iPod classic music onto my iPad?

    Hi I was wondering how to move my iPod classics music on to my new iPad. Thanks.

    You will need to sync your music via your computer's iTunes, you can't connect an iPod to an iPad for copying music. If you don't have the music on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to copy music purchased from iTunes from the iPod via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then if you don't have it on your computer nor on a backup then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from your iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • TS1382 why does my ipod classic keep saying its charging and the back of it get hot

    why does my ipod classic keep saying its charging and the back of it gets hot

    The battery and/or charging circuit may be faulty. Reset the device and try again having let it cool down first.

  • Does the latest Ipod Classic use the same charging pins as the earlier versions?

    Does the latest Ipod Classic use the same charging pin positons as the earlier versions as I want to use it in my Audi where my 5th gen Nano will play but not charge as the pin configuration for charging changed from that of the earlier models.

    If your 5th gen nano doesn't change, then a new iPod Classic will not either.
    The "change" was that older iPods used firewire to charge the iPod. But that's 12volts (the same voltage as a car's battery). Then along came charging by USB, which is 5volts. So car manufacturers who were on the ball, introduced electronics to drop the 12v car battery voltage to 5v and put that 5v on the appropriate USB pins. (I would hope, that by now, every car manufacturer has sorted this out, but of course that doesn't help anyone with an older model car.)
    The incredibly obvious - to anyone with technical knowledge - was that one day, Apple would stop the 12v charging method on newer models of iPod. But somehow, a lot of manufacturers of devices that charge iPods failed to see this. (It really was incredibly obvious, believe me!)
    It wasn't just car manufacturers who were caught out by this, so were Docking Station devices. I know of one make, where the manufacturer recalled the ones still in shops so that they could re-work them to charge using the 5v USB pins.
    In my car, made around 2006, I had an external device fitted so that I could plug my iPod into the car stereo through the Dock Connector. But hey, guess what? That device will charge my iPod Classic, but not my iPod Touch.
    A long-ish answer, but hopefully it not only answers the question, but tells you why too.

  • My ipod classic got unplugged while restoring

    my ipod classic got unplugged while restoring and now it wont connect to itunes and the screen has a sign saying to plug your ipod into a wall outlet i tryed plugging it into my computer but it was still there what do i do!

    Yes, it's likely that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and is in need of replacement.

  • My iPod classic won't hold charge and has a lot of static when i play music

    My iPod classic 80GB won't hold a charge and has a lot of static when i try to play music...fixable problem or do i need to invest in a new one?

    Hi Candyfornia,
    I think you must restore your iPod (with iTunes) to solve your problem...

  • Why does my iPod Classic keep pausing while playing music in a dock?

    Hi, can anyone help with this? I am playing music through the iPod Classic on a Philips docking speaker and every few minutes it pauses. This is so maddening, what can I do to stop it. Thanks

    From my own experience recently, I would suspect that the Philips dock is faulty. However, that won't get you very far, so as a method for narrowing down the problem, ask yourself the following:
    Has the iPod/Philips dock combination ever worked?
    How are you connecting the iPod with the dock? Is it the docking connector, a cable, bluetooth?
    How long does it work before it pauses (time it)? Is it the same time each attempt?
    Can you try the iPod with a friend's dock, or can you try the dock with another iPod? What happens?

  • New ipod classic, music sync error

    On Sunday I got a new silver 160gb ipod classic. Today in unpackaged it followed the quick start instructions, so connected ipod to the computer to charge, registered it, and then chose to sync (autosync) my iTunes library, and everything was going fine about a quarter of the way through. I decided to leave the computer to let it finish and charge fully. However when I returned it said there had been an error syncing "JAMES'S iPOD". So I decided to sync again, and now when I try and sync it comes up with the message "Attempting to copy the disk ~ JAMES'S IPO ~ failed. An Unknown error occured (-81)", and then when I press ok on that the message "The iPod ~ JAMES'S IPOD ~ cannot be synced. An Unknown error has occured (-48)".
    I'm a bit confused as to why this seems to happen with my brand new ipod, and want to get using it! Does anyone have any idea what may be the problem?
    Thanks , let me know if you need any more info

    I've got the same exact problem. mine says:
    "The iPod "iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (-48)."
    I've had my iPod now for about 2 years and I usually don't have too many problems with it. I've tried everything that apple has suggested, except for the restore option. NO WAY AM I RESTORING MY iPOD!!! I've got like over 2000 songs on that thing and they aren't backed up! It's too much work to back up all those songs. I've reinstalled iTunes, I've restarted my computer and my iPod, but no matter what happens I can't put new music on it. I can listen to the music on and off my computer, but I can't make any changes. This is driving me crazy. I haven't been able to put new songs on my iPod in a while and have been listening to the same old things. Now that I've finally able to download new ones this thing just craps out on me. I just want to put new songs on my iPod, but can't. What's the point of having an iPod you can't change it? Also for some reason i've got duplicate songs that I now can't erase. Apple is just letting me down more and more lately.

    This is okay, it is thinking what to do.
    after that start to blink the battery symbol with a ray
    This is okay too, it is now charging.
    and change quickly to the battery symbol green with a plugged symbol
    Good, it is now fully charged.
    i left the ipod charged approximately for 12 hours or more but when i unplugged it appears the same battery green simbol, it wont appear like it fully charge
    The fully charged symbol is the full green symbol. After time the green symbol is still green but not full. See the link: *About the battery charge status icon* : http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60970
    i just want to know if i been doing someting wrong or if the ipod need a new battery or accesories to charge correctly, at this moment the ipod classic doesnt have any music or picture.
    I cannot see anything wrong, put some music on now and enjoy!

  • My Ipod Classic 160 GB will charge but is not recognized on my macbook or in itunes. Just began suddenly

    I purchased my Ipod Classic 160 GB about a year ago new and never had any issues until lately. I recently updated my itunes to the newest version and my Ipod seemed fine and didn't have any trouble. About a week later my Ipod was no longer recognized by Itunes or my Mac book. The catch is, that my Ipod is still able to charge but never shows any signs of connection besides the charging screen. I have no clue where to begin.
    Any help would be awesome! Thanks

    Have you updated your iPod and iTunes sofware?
    most cases, iTunes can play these high quality songs, which is meant for newer mobile devices like  iPhones, iPod Touch, nano and iPad, which the older iPod cant play, but only playable with iPod classic sofware version 2.0.4
    most likely it is an incompatible song format, read this Apple support article.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1334?viewlocale=en_USet
    If  your iPod software is version 1.1.2, then you have to use lower quality format.
    Can you select the problematic song, and Advance -> create iPod version

  • Ipod classic music to Mac Book Air

    I am a new owner of a Mac always used PC in the past, and have an Ipod classic from a ba-billion years ago (2006)
    My old PC computer died.
    My old itunes account was attached to an email that got hacked and I can no longer use.
    When I try to log in to the account through apple it says my birthday is wrong. (I know when I was born) so I assume this has to do with my email being hacked.
    I cannot get purchaced music off my ipod.
    I also keep getting an error message everytime I try  to transfer music from the "harddrive" option of the ipod classic to the new computer. I have music going back as far as 2002 on this ipod from several different computers, cds, etc. All paid for! Nothing stolen, but I cannot get it from my ipod to my new mac Its so frustrating because I didn't hack anything or steal anything and now it looks like I'm either going to never buy new music for my ipod or erase and start all over...
    Any advice to keep all the music would be appreciated!
    I never had any problems transfering from one computer to the other with a PC does apple do this on purpose? It really makes me wonder if I made the right choice if everything is going to be more difficult on my new Mac?

    Also I cannot get the ipod to stay connected to my Mac for more than a min??
    Everything about this switch is annoying and doesn't make sense. It's an apple product trying to work with another apple product so why is it so much trouble?
