IPod classic not restoring

I have a 5th gen iPod classic. It kept freezing my iTunes. I would be forced to restart my pc to get iTunes to run again. So I hit Restore, but it keeps claiming the program is in use by another program. No other programs are open. Any advice?

Do the iPod DiskDiagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem but helps in troubleshooting.
Then click on iPod properties, in my Computer, and do error checking, tick on fix filesytem, to clear any redundant flag of the error.
Have a nice day!

  • IPod Classic not restore -error 1430

    My iPod doesn't want to restore anymore. Error 1430 in itunes, I performed the procedures shown on the site without success. What should I do?

    Hello soraiaSP
    Check out the steps in the article below to try and restore it again. One of the steps is to put your iPod classic into Disk Mode and then use iTunes to restore it.

    Hello,
    The cord might be the case, but first, try these suggestions:
    Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then try connecting it to your computer again...
    <a href="How to put your iPod into disk mode</a>
    Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?
    Have you checked this link out?:
    <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60941">iPod doesn't charge correctly
    Does your iPod appear in "My Computer"? If so...
    iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
    If not...
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes
    Post back on what happens when you try these things out. I hope this helps!

  • TS1372 ipod classic wont restore or reset

    ipod classic wont restore or reset error code 1415,,1417,

    I assume you have seen this article regarding this error message.
    iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

  • 80GB Classic not restoring, error code 1439

    My IPOD was working fine yesterday and I connected it to my comp. to sync and Itunes stated that my IPOD was corrupt and I needed to restore my IPOD. So I opted to do so, and now I am getting an error code 1439 and my IPOD will not restore, it will not turn on, it is not doing ANYTHING now. Does anyone know what I need to do? Please help!
    Thanks

    the error can mean 1 or many things. hopefully its just a software issue or hardware issue other than the ipod itself such as the computer or cable. here is a good tutorial video i found on how to possibly fix it.

  • Font in iPod classic "Notes"

    I'd like to know what font (and font size) the iPod classic "Notes" module uses.

    I don't know but it's very small and I would love to be able to change it to something larger.
    It looks like Helvetica 8 but I'm not sure. The font used in the Table of contents is much more readable, so it should be possible to increase the font size in the notes. I'll ask Apple… I'm joking.

  • Ipod will not restore after update

    I downloaded the new version to make app. to my ipod touch and I was told to restore my ipod to have the update. Now my Ipod will not restore and I have lost everything in Itunes also. What do I need to do?

    I just did the install of 2.0.02 last and I had one dickens of a time restoring my library. Here is what happened to me. Right before doing the update it tells you that all of your music, videos etc.. will be removed from the Ipod Touch once the update is done installing. So I found a DVD and burned my library to it. Then I went ahead and did the install. It clean my Ipod Touch clean, but my iTunes library was still intact so I thought all will have to do is resync it but that didn't work. I tried and tried. I disconnected my external HD. Oh yeah by the way this is a new computer that I just bought and last night was the first time I used iTunes on it so I had to populate my library using iGadget.
    Anyway, I realized that I didn't have manually manage my iTunes library unchecked I unchecked it and it began to sync the back up copy I had of my library. Did either of you back up your library before installing 2.02? Do you have a place where most of your music is stored outside of iTunes? You cannot have Manually manage library checked it won't restore if you do. Be aware though 96% of my cover art was gone with this restore. How annoying. I don't know if this is the information you were looking for but I hope I have been able to shed some light on the issue.

  • After iTunes 10 upgrade iPod Classic not identified nor can I restore

    Totally lost and don't know how to proceed. I have been using iTunes with my iPhone with never a problem. I received an iPod classic 160GB for Christmas last year and again, no problems, everything has been working great.
    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. I upgraded to iTunes 10 and iTunes works great. I plugged in my iPhone 2G, no problem. I plugged in my iPod Classic 160GB and iTunes freezes, NOTHING happens at all. The album cover pictures don't even display until after I unplug the iPod Classic device.
    I can see iPod device in "My Computer" but not in iTunes 10. In iTunes 10 the device doesn't appear at all until I give up and unplug the device. Then an error message pops up and the iPod is shown in the left column. The error says a file is missing and the device can't sync. I can't do anything except click OK. Then the error message goes away and the device drops out of the left column.
    I searched for info on this problem, and have tried all of the suggestions.
    It charges through USB with no problem except the battery is fully charged.
    I tried 3 different USB ports on the PC.
    Tried restarting iTunes.
    Tried restarting the computer.
    Went to Apple support website, tried the troubleshooting assistant:
    *Reset the iPod.
    *Had already tried different USB ports.
    *Had already tried restarting the PC.
    *Removed iTunes 10 and all the software programs in the order specified.
    *Went to Apple website and Re-installed iTunes.
    *ITunes and iPhone still work fine, NO iPod Classic recognition in iTunes.
    *Next option is to Restore but CAN'T because iTunes won't recognize the iPod to perform Restore. After reading the instructions, it appears that the iPod has to be connected to do this, and that's the problem -won't connect!
    Is there anyone who can help? This didn'thappen until installed iTunes 10.
    The iPod has 120GB of music on the device. The device is still working fine. I just can't get iTunes 10 to recognize the iPod Classic device.

    After upgrading to iTunes 10, when I tried to connect my 80GB iPod Classic to my Mac Book Pro, the iPod was not recognized by either my computer or by iTunes. It would say "Connecting" on the iPod, but then it would click and show the Apple icon for a few seconds, then the cycle would repeat.
    I finally decided to start the iPod in Disk Mode and then connect to my computer. When I did that, it would connect to my iTunes and I was able to sync.
    I then went to Disk Utility and verified and repaired my iPod disk (no problems and nothing to repair.) On one discussion, the person then erased everything from his iPod and then restored. Rather than do that, I disconnected my iPod and re-connected it in the standard mode. This time, it was recognized by iTunes and I was able to sync.
    Tried it again this morning and again it was able to sync. The next time, it may not, but right now it appears that might be a possible solution.

  • Tried to restore Ipod Classic 80gb; restore ran for 3 days but not restored

    Hi there,
    So i bought first ipod from one of my friends, which does have some damage to the screen on it but i have been using for a few weeks now as she had 1800 songs on it. I finally was able to purchase the usb cord and i downloaded Itunes. When i connected it to itunes it basically told me something about how the music list is part of another collection and if i wanted to add songs i would have to remove hers, which i am fine with but when i went to the summary and hit restore it popped up a little window downloaded something then states it is restoring. I left it connected to the computer and went to bed, the next night i went to my computer and it said the same thing, this went on for 3 days on the third day the i tunes was frozen and i had to close it via the task manager. i then shut down the the pc waited for the ipod to say it was ok to disconnect then removed it from the computer then rebooted the computer. i turned on the ipod and i see the menus i can play the games still but all the folders music, podcast, everything states their is no music, no videos, etc. Now every now and then it will show the apple and what seems to be a restart. I have followed the 5r's and tried to hold the menu and select key which seems to do about nothing, then i brought the ipod into disk mode and hooked it up to itunes which then tells me to reformat again. the problem is this was a working ipod with songs til i connected to itunes at my house, my friend showed me how to use itunes at her home with this same ipod and she did not have the error as soon as she plugged it into itunes.
    Anyways, now i plug into itunes and it tells me to reformat thats all it will do, it does show the ipod on the left side of the menu, it does show in my computer as a drive but i can not restore and i can not sync songs.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
