IPOD CLASSIC ON READ ONLY , CANT CHANGE IT

i have an ipod classic which at some point it was changed to " READ ONLY ". now my classic wont open and windows says i need to format it though after trying many time only to have windows tell me that its unable to format. when i try to open ipod classic , whatever page im on
, be it : computers,
"tunes or any other window it freezes my ipod and will not un-freeze until i reboot my computer so at the moment all i have is a 160GB IPOD CLASSIC THAT DOES NOTHING. HOW CAN THIS B TAKEN OFF SO THAT I CAN ONCE AGAIN HAVE MY IPOD BACK.

It looks like MANY people have various problems with iPod Classic 160GB models on Windows 8.1, while they work just fine on other computers. I suspect crappy Apple drivers that don't work correctly on Windows 8.1. I have a Classic 160GB iPod and you would think that it is corrupted/damaged/about to die on the Windows 8.1 computer, but works just fine on everything else.

Ipod classic 160 gigs, only 150 gigs free when arrived?

so my empty, new ipod classic 160
reads only 150 gigs free
now i know hard drives lose a few gigs in the translation
from retail packaging number, to actually available gigs
but 10 gigs?
what gives?

Hi Dr. Rek,
Actually, losing 11 GB with the 160 GB iPod Classic makes sense.
It's the same binary system and same percentage lost (about 8%, I believe) as all of the previous iPods were. It just seems worse when several GBs are lost in the conversion, simply due to the fact that this is a bigger hard drive we're dealing with.
Think of the 27.72 GB vs/ 30 GB discrepancy, for example; 92.4% (total storage space gain) is the same rate of as it's always been, just with a 160 GB model, it turns out as about 11 GB lost.
So, it's normal for your computer (and on your iPod, too) to read the GB space as about 149 GB instead of 160; if you calculate it, it's actually the same percentage, but not a similar amount that we might be used to, since the iPod's hard drives are just getting larger in storage space.
I hope that all makes sense!

Does Universal Connector read only the changes or the whole of the database everytime

Does the Universal Connector read only the changes in the external database into the Connector View every scheduled cycle or does it read the whole of the database into the connector view every time ?
I need to write a indirect connector for Lotus Notes database using the universal connector and univeral text parse.So I want to know if the Import and Dump scripts that I will have to write will have to read just the changes that took place or the whole of the Notes DB everytime ?

If it is possible to get just the changes then do that.

Just got a new iPod Classic and can only sync 536 songs of the almost 8,000 that I have stored in the cloud. How can I download all my music to the new iPod Classic?

Does anyone have an idea how to transfer music stored in the cloud to a new iPod classic?

You must download it to your iTunes library first, before syncing the iPod classic.

Ipod classic sound from only one channel

My 80GB Ipod classic has sound from only one headphone. Same problem when docked so it's not a headphone or socket problem. It's as if only one channel is working. Any ideas?

Did you check System Preferences>Sound to make certain that the balance scroll section was in the middle?

120GB iPod classic: iTunes 8 only?

Hi all,
Apple's specs say that the 120GB iPod classic requires iTunes 8 or later. Has anyone tried using it with previous versions? I'm perfectly content with iTunes 7.4.2 and would rather leave well enough alone.
Thanks!

You are going to have to upgrade to at least iTunes 8 to make things work.

Ipod classic 160gb will only turn on when plugged in

i recently got a ipod classic from a friend of mine who has no use for it and i knew there was something wrong with it but its confusing. the ipod will turn on if plugged in but will go to chatging please wait screen and never charge. if you put ipod in disk mode you can restore it but it will just go back to "charging please wait" after its done. i have no way of getting a new battery nor do i think i need to. i have tried all the the options there are , oh and i also have yet to see an apple logo and it turns off if i unplug it.

Sounds like a dead battery. You can have Apple replace it for a flat fee plus shipping and handling, or you can send it into a third party service center who can do the same job for a little less.
Google for third party repair centers.

IPod Classic 80GB will only play music through the right earphone

Hi everybody
a few days ago my ipod stopped playing music through both earphones and will now only play through the right one. it isn't the headphones because i brought a new set and used another set that i know work through both earphones but neither will work through both earphones on my ipod. This problem is really annoying me. I tried resetting it but nothing. I didn't do anything to it, i just didn't use it for a few days. and i really want to avoid restoring it to factory settings because it is almost full and only a handful of my songs are on my computer. any solutions?

Yeah I now know that after finding it in another thread. Thanks anyway. I live in Australia so I just gotta find someone who will repair it because I don't wanna risk ruining it by trying to do it myself. I asked an electronics place that replaces the batteries but they wouldn't do it. So if I can't find anybody to fix it, I'll probably buy a new one (cos I need one anyway) and try to fix the old one. The problem with finding someone to fix it is that I live in a country town and about 2-3 hours from Sydney and we don't have much here.

HT1329 iPod classic disc use - only some music visible in Windows Explorer!?

I followed above steps but then realized that it has only copied some of my music over. When I look at the music folder on the ipod in Windows Explorer, I only see some of the artists/albums/songs that actually on the iPod! I can see that a certain song is on my iPod and can play on my iPod without a problem, but it is not visible in Windows Explorer, hence it doesn't get copied over.
I can find the songs in the hidden ipod_content file on my ipod, but if I copy a file over to iTunes it gets added as a new file (which works), but the 'old' non-functional file is still there. We are talking hundreds of songs so doing it this way would mean hours and hours of locating manually and adding to playlists plus deleting the 'old' file in iTunes.
Is there a way to copy everything over from the ipod_content file and getting iTunes to match that with the missing songs like it did with the songs that were copied over the first time around?

Hmm.
Ideally you would have copied the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one, having first consolidated your library to make sure that all the media content was inside the iTunes folder. If it isn't too late then go back and do it again.
Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. If you have your preserved library file what might work is to manually recover the media files into a new iTunes library with the iLounge article near the end, get iTunes to organize the media. Then cut and paste the new media folder onto the one you had previously so that no duplicate files are created. With luck your original library can then find the recovered files.

Does ipod classic & itunes read or see ANSI unicode for the ID3v2 text

I am batch converting a bunch of flac files to mp3 for my ipod with the ID3v2 text encoding ANSI, for the most compatibility with mp3 players, will my ipod & itunes see these albums? will they show up on my ipod?

I use normal English, with an occasional "&" ampersand symbol, and other symbols;
: ; " , [ ] ( )? some song titles may have an accent mark but that is about it.
I had my batch converter in unicode before & switched to ANSI in another forum they told me to try ANSI because I could not get my mother's sandisk sansa mp3 player to see the albums I put on it, even though they showed up when looking in windows with the mp3 player hooked to my PC. But when I tried to see the albums after I unplugged the player from the computer, they did not show up.

Just took my iPod classic 160GB out of box turned it on and accidently hit clickwheel or button and eveything is in language other than english. How do I get it back to english without being able to read symbols.

just took my iPod classic 160GB out of box, turned it on and accidentially hit a button changing the language from english to something else (chinese or japanese). All I see now is symbols. How do I turn it back to english without knowing what any of these symbols mean. I started clicking buttons and click wheel and can't seem to get to any section with various language options. Please some help me get it back to english.

There are two options. The first is to learn whatever language you have it set to, the second is to find someone else with an iPod Classic and read the English menu and follow it in your iPod. I also believe you may be able to set language perfunces from within iTunes while the iPod is docked, providing they are in English.

I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. I inadvertently changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity and want to remove the music from my phone. How do I do that?

I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. In error, I changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity on my phone and don't want any music on my phone so I want to remove the music from my phone without disturbing my iTune music files on my PC and iPod. How do I do that?

On your phone: Settings>General>Usage>Music...tap the Edit button...then the red minus sign. This will delete all music on your phone.

IPod classic as e-book reader?

I just heard that ipod classic can read ebooks in text format. I wonder how can you convert pdf files to txt and put them in ipod so you can read them through notes. I don't know how to do it though so that's a question to everyone who done did it. Thank you

I don't think you will have much joy with this idea. The text files have to be no more than 4KB in size,which is a maximum the iPod can handle. Anything bigger would be truncated. This would mean that you would have to edit a converted PDF file into text files smaller than 4KB, and this would be so time consuming you would have no time to read the book.
