IPod Classic Screen Lock

I bought a used Ipod Classic 7. I accidentally locked the screen.
1. I don't know the code.
2. Connecting to Itunes/Pc and disconnecting doesn't work.
3. Ipod restore. Does this mean I have to erase 100GBs of music? "Your top 40,000. Erased if you forgot f* screen lock code"

You bought a used iPod classic. None of the music that was on it when you bought it belongs to you. Your music should all be in your library. Wipe it and put your music on it.

  • IPod classic is locked and wants a combination. Never set one. How do I unlock?

    iPod classic is locked and wants a combination. Never set one. How do I unlock?

    Is your iPad new in the sense of being brand new or is it the latest generation?
    If you do not have very much on it you could connect it to iTunes on your computer (if you use one) and on the screen that pops up starting with the Summary tab click on the Restore button further down. Be sure to set it up as a new device? You will lose any saved data but at least it will unlock your device. Alternatively, you could could do it through Settings on your ipad. Either way, you my have to redownload your purchased apps again.

  • White Line Down Middle of iPod Classic Screen

    I have recently noticed a thin white vertical line on the right side of my iPod classic screen.  It doesn't affect the iPod's function at the moment but I'm worried that it is signaling a potential technicial problem.  I have tried all the initial troubleshooting steps suggested but am leery about uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. 

    Removing and re-installing iTunes won't do any good as it does not pertain to the iPod in any way.  If none of the 5 R's of troubleshooting helped, we can definitely say that it is a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display.

    Sometimes it helps to let the battery fully drain and then redoing the 5 R's.

  • White lines on ipod classic screen, could it be cracked screen? it has never been dropped or anything. Is it pretty common problem. Contacted apple support, denies problem exist.

    White lines three appeared on my ipod classic screen. It has never been dropped or screen scratched. Suddenly white lines appeared on the screen. Tried to reset settings, nothing changed. Is this a common issue with ipod classic coz apple adviser denying ever having heard of this problem and I have to pay half of msrp to fix it. Offered 10% off to purchase new ipod and turn in old one. What a waste. Apple should take responsibility if this problem is indeed inherent with this product.

    The magnets are tnot the cause.
    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem.
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore tofactory defaults/new iPad
    If still problem then time for an appointment at teh Genius Bar of an Apple store. The drops may have damaged it or there could be another cause.

  • Ipod classic periodically locks up.

    ipod classic periodically locks up.  It does it while charging, syncing and playing.  Could it be the battery or something else?  The battery is also not wanting to charge properly.

    need more info:
    when it locks up, what do you do to unfreeze it?

    How long does the battery last, after charging it for at least 4 hours?

  • Ipod Classic screen say connect to restore???

    Ipod Classic screen say connect to restore but when I do so it just goes into do not disconnect screen and computer wont recognize it at all
    I tried everything possible, I reseted it multiple times. try hard disk wont work. tried connecting it wont work. it is just usually stuck in the apple logo screen until it tells me to connect to restore and then after that it goes into Do not disconnect and then after a while it just say OK to disconnect but nothing else happens. HELP PLEASE

    Since you stated
         I tried everything possible
    Most likely your iPod hardisk is giving problem, bring it in to Apple store if it is under warranty, else
    do the Disk Diagnostic as posted by tt2.
    It wont fix your problem, but the report will help in troubleshooting.

  • Nothing shows on my ipod classic screen

    I can not get anything to show up on my ipod classic screen. I tried resetting my ipod and still nothing shows up on my screen, not even the Apple logo. I wonder if the battery is dead.

    If the battery is "dead" (as in "fully drained", or empty), you will need to leave it on charge for at least thirty minutes before it shows any signs of life. Then, let it fully charge.
    If that is not the issue, try leaving the iPod alone and unplugged for a few days (painful, I know). If the iPod is stuck doing something, but unable to turn on the screen, leaving it alone will cause the battery to empty out. Then, go for the "empty battery" option of recharging, as above.

  • I have just updated to itunes 11 and when I plugged in my ipod classic it locked up. When I tried again it said my ipod was corrupt and advised I reset it. I reluctantly did this as I lost all my music and now itunes just locks up when I plug in my ipod.

    Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

  • Frozen iPod classic with lock and battery images on the screen

    When I unlocked my iPod classic while listening to music, everything stopped, and i got an image on the screen of the time when this happened (6:30), a lock image below it on the left, and a black horizontal battery on the right. The iPod won't work now, whether locked/unlocked or whether connected/unconnected to my PC/iTunes. What, if anything is the fix?

    Have you tried just a hard reset yet? To do this, first make sure the hold switch is toggled to the off position, then press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • IPod classic  staying locked

    Hi
    I have a strange problem with my iPod classic 120 GB from few days. It gets locked(or on hold you can say) on its own. Initially if it happened.I used toggle the hold button (turn on hold and turn off) and it used to work fine. Now even that doesn't work. On toggling the hold button, the "Lock" icon goes off on screen, but as soon as I click on Wheel or the select button,the "Lock" icon on the tops appears again and the the iPod behaves as it is put on hold. It becomes unresponsive completely. Really don't know what to do
    Solution tried:
    1. Tried to reset the iPod. But it worked.
    2. Did a restore from iTunes. But this didn't work either.
    Can some tell me the solution please? is this hardware/software related?
    Thanks,
    Mehul

    Solved this one last month. I got it replaced as it was hardware issue.
    Thanks,
    Mehul

  • IPod Classic Screen still black after restoring it

    After dropping my iPod classic, the screen went black and I could no longer get it to work.  I was able to restore it however the screen is still black. I can hear it clicking when I spin the will and it connects to iTunes but the screen is still black. Is there any way to fix this?

    Put it in the rice for couple of more days. Then
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB one and $149 for the others. They do not fix yours.

  • IPod Nano Screen Lock bug

    I think I have discovered a bug in the iPod Nano software. I'm using the latest software available as for today.
    I lock the iPod Nano's screen and as expected, the graphical display of a combination lock appears. I insert the iPod Nano on to the Universal Dock and then proceed to control the Nano from the Apple Remote. It works partly. I am able to pause and play music and after a song finishes, it goes to the next one. I am not, however, able to fast forward, rewind, or skip tracks. I am able to play and pause, plus the Nano goes to the next track automatically after it finishes play the current one.
    Seems to me a bug! I would imagine that the screen lock is supposed to lock all kinds of control to the iPod except entering password.

    connect it to itunes and it will unlock

  • 160gb iPod Classic, Screen No Longer Working

    Hello,
    So I have a 160gb ipod classic. I dropped it a few weeks ago by accident and now the screen does not work. No backlight, no lightup, no nothing. It will sync up to my PC just fine and if I plug headphones in and navigate to a song by memory it will play. I hoped it was just an issue with the connector coming loose inside the ipod. So i took it all apart since I got it in like 2010 and was out of warrenty. Unfortunatly, to my dismay, the issue was not the connection to the logic board. After doing a little more research I took it apart even more to see if there was a tear in the lcd connecter anywhrere, there wasn't. So I put it all back together and I was still getting the same issue. Great. My next thought was to get a new lcd. I had an ipod classic 80gb in like 2007 with a broken hard drive so I did some research and found they were the exact same lcd. So instead of buying a new lcd, I just took it out of that one and replaced it in the 160gb ipod. It worked!! well... sort of. I still get nothing on the display screen, but now, when I touch the clickwheel, the backlight lights up. Again, I can select songs from memory and it syncs up fine, but I cannot see anything on the screen. So thats a start, isnt it? I'm not sure. I tried to restore it in iTunes but kept getting an "unknown error 1514." Did some reserch on that and wasnt very helpful.
    If anyone could help me out anymore that would be great. I am kind of at an end for what else to do. I'm out of ideas and after looking through this forum and others I have not found a real solution. ANY advice would be helpful. Thanks so much!
    I am seriously considering ditching hard drive based media players, as the second they get dropped its all over. But I love being able to carry around all 100+ gigs of music and 30+ gigs of movies with me in one small device. if they made a 128 gig flah memory itouch id be all over it...

    Hi, Meg.
    I've contacted Apple as you suggested and they have already taken care of the problem.
    Thank you for your help and reply.

  • Why do duplicate albums appear on my iPod Classic screen when there are no duplicates in my iTunes Library?

    Why do duplicate albums appear on my i{Pod Classic screen when there are no duplicates in my iTunes Library?

    It's probably going to be a capitalisation error. In other words, one or more tracks on the album has a lower case letter at the beginning of the album name while all the others have a capital letter. They can be difficult to spot.
    In iTunes, examine one of your duplicated albums carefully. You should be looking for a slight difference between the album title name. Look at the screenshot below, can you see the error in the album title?
    It is there...
    The title track (Left Of The Middle). Look at the capitalisation of the album name.
    Once you find you error in your album, re-type it (or copy-and-paste from one track to all the tracks) and then SYnc your iPod to iTunes. Does that cure it? If nto, let us know.
