Ipod classic stuck

plugged in ipod classic to download some music ipod wont work buttons nothing its just stuck can someone plz help

Could be a dud iPod.
Although in some cases, the iPod might get into a state in which the battery needs to be drained before it can be reset so try these steps.
1. Disconnect iPod from all power sources and leave it disconnected for about 24 hours.
2. Reconnect iPod to the Apple iPod Power Adapter or the computer and reset it.
If not, given what you've already tried, I suggest you return it.

  • Brand new 160gb ipod classic - Stuck on charge "Please wait..."

    Unpacked my new ipod classic about 2 hours ago and connected it to my iMac to charge.

    Any ideas?

    Well I left it charging over night and still the same result

  • Ipod classic stuck in loop

    My ipod classic 80gb got stuck in a loop of resetting?
    It plays for 2 minutes, then resets itself.
    Connecting to Mac/itunes does not work: itunes does not recognises it and ipod says disconnect.
    Please help.

    Hey there,
    Have you tried putting your iPod into Disk Mode? If you are unsure of how to do this, the webpage below should be able to assist you. If you are able to put it into disk mode and iTunes recognizes it, you should probably restore it. Hope this helps.

  • Help! iPod Classic stuck in hold switch mode!

    Hi,
    I got a new iPod Classic 80 GB this past week. It works great, except today its stuck in the hold switch mode (shows the lock in the upper left corner), even when the hold switch is not toggled. I've tried restoring the ipod, but nothing works. How can i fix this?

    hold switch is for locking keys. it is there for 2 reasons. One, to prevent you accidentally cranking volume or anything while listening. Second, it cuts off power flowing from battery to touch pad. This saves battery power.

  • 160GB iPod classic stuck in lock mode

    My 160gb iPod classic is stuck in lock mode.
    The lock switch is off and the iPod itself is still "locked"
    Is there any way i can fix this? it seems like there's a glitch with the lock but it moves smoothly and doesn't seem to have anything wrong with it
    Yet the iPod is still locked
    should I take it to the apple store?

    If none of the 5 R's are able to resolve the issue, it's likely a hardware issue, meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party service.

  • TS1441 Ipod classic stuck in disk mode

    My ipod classic is stuck in disk mode, computer/itunes won't recognize, i've tried resetting, but either says "ok to disconnect" or "restore with itunes."  When i plug it in, the computer nor itunes recognize that it's plugged in.... please help.

    The best way to get out of this situation is to use a well-known tool called TinyUmbrella.
    First of all download TinyUmbrella  http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.in/
    Now, making sure your device is connected to your computer, launch TinyUmbrella
    It will automatically detect that your iPod is stuck in recovery mode
    Select the Exit Recovery button and it should throw your iPod touch out of recovery.
    Alternatively, you can right-click on your iPod name from a list at the side
    of TinyUmbrella and select Kick out of recovery.

  • Ipod Classic Stuck In 'Verifying Ipod' Mode When Connecting To iTunes

    I currently own an iPod Classic 160GB and an iPod 5th Gen 30GB. Both of them were working perfectly and synchronizing with iTunes up until i upgraded my OS system to Windows 7 from XP. I am also running iTunes 9.2
    Now when i try and synch them, both say 'Verifying iPod' and then iTunes freezes after 5 minutes and i have to disconnect them and start all over again. I have not been able to update either of them with music for over 2 months.
    Some blogs say to try and move you .xml file out of your library, some say change the .itl file to .itl.old and some say try changing back to a previous version of iTunes. However none of these have worked for me.
    I have over 110GB of music on my computer and i'm trying to avoid wiping iTunes off my computer altogether and having to reload it all back on. I've had to do this once before and it took about 3 months as i had to double click on every single track befor itunes would load it - and thats a lot of songs to click ! Unless of course somebody out there knows a quick way of wiping iTunes off my hard drive altogether and starting all over again.......................??
    Has anybody had the same problem or anyone got any solutions ??

    My iPod Classic is also sticking in verify then iTunes freezes. This only happened after iTunes was updated to 9.2. According to CCleaner's registry check, two problems appear - both are missing TypeLib References; the IUserHelper and the IiPodManagerUI. I can only assume that the latest iTunes is causing the trouble because of these missing files. This led to me completely reinstalling iTunes yesterday, but all that achieved was to empty my iPod and leave me library-less. The only way around it I can see is to wait for a new iTunes update. A real pain.

  • Ipod classic stuck in recovery mode

    hello, i have an iPod Classic 120 GB, i noticed recently it was stuttering and freezing a few seconds every now and again in the menus so i decided to reset it by holding menu+select. it reset but when it came back on it asked me to pick a language, i picked english and all my content was gone, much like during a restore. when i got home i plugged it into iTunes, got an error message that said it had to be restored, after restoring it went into recovery mode so of course i got the message it was in recovery mode and had to restored. i have tried restoring a few more times but it keeps going into recovery mode and thats where it still is. i read somewhere about enabling disk mode  after a restore and dragging certain files onto the ipod to make it work again, this sounds to me like basically a manual restore, i never got the chance to try it as the files were hosted on a mediafire link that is no longer active. I am simply wondering if anyone has heard of this, where/how i can do it, or any other way to get past this never ending cycle. I have it enabled in disk mode and i want to go poke around at the files but it only shows up in iTunes and not on my sidebar under devices (I still run OS X Leopard 10.5.8) Any other way to access the files? thank you!

    You can ring them up but be aware that if you haven't got AppleCare and you've had your iPod for more than 90 days you'll be charged for technical support. You only receive one complimentary support incident, which must be used within the first 90 days of product ownership: Contact Apple Support

  • 80GB iPod Classic stuck in recovery mode, tried EVERYTHING

    Hello, i'm Michael, and i need some help right now :c
    i just got an iPod Classic with 80GB of HDD, just a gift, but it had some "issues" (the screen showed a dock connector and it reads "Use iTunes to Restore"), i had an iPod Touch 4G, and i had that restored several times, so i knew the trick.
    Okay i came from my grandmother's house and plugged my new fancy iPod! (it came with no USB cable so i bought a cheap one) but when i plugged the iPod had not enough power to remain connected, so i though (maybe the usb cable is not powerfull enough to mantain the charge cicle, it's a 2$ one, so it's big deal) plugged my iPod to my speakers on the Dock station, and leave it there for the entire night
    The next morning i plugged my super charged iPod to my Windows 7 PC, and it got detected YAAY!, iTunes asked me to download the software to restore, so i let it do just that, waited for the 56mb ipsw file to download, and after that the restore process begun. At 57 seconds of the process (i timed it) the PC turned OFF (not big deal, my processor is not the best processor ever, and my PC usually turns off after a small overdrive)
    Well, the iPod restarted and it was at the "Use iTunes to Restore" screen again. So i tought (Well, let's try my sis laptop) connected my iPod to the Windows 8 Laptop from my sister, and the iTunes download (iTunes + iPod ipsw) took a lot of time to me.. But when it comes to the Restore Process, after the same amount of time, i got the "1439" error, and after looking foward throught a lot of web pages, i came out with the "Windows 8 is the one of the problem :L" so i plugged my iPod out and leave it charging in my speakers, at the next day, i was in my Grandmother's house again..
    So i came out with my uncle and told him to lend me his Lap, a Windows 7 64X Core i5 Extreme with VT (super machine i loved it *¬*) and plugged my iPod in, i tried to Restore with his iTunes version (11 one) and guess what? 1439 error! it looked like the USB cable was the problem one, but i didn't gave up, and installed Virtual Box with Widnwos XP (i rode some guy had it working with a restaration with XP, and makes sense, since Windows 7/8 can't format large drives with FAT32, and XP sure can) so i plugged my iPod and installed Guest additions and the Expansion pack (for USB 2.0 support) installed the last iTunes version and tried to restore, and guess what? 1434!
    So, i tried something different, i tried to format the iPod with Windows Explorer, and guess what? it worked! NTSF system was loaded ad working, i dragged some 134mb files to it, and they could be readen every time i wanted. But there's a problem, iPod software is not NTSF but FAT32, so i downloaded EaseUS partition manager and formated it to Fat32, 128kb cluster size, and unplugged it to plug the speakers again (YES, I TOOK THEM TO MY GRANDMOTHER'S) after the battery's top capacity was acomplished, i tried the restore form XP again, and after a few tries, i got a succefull restore!
    The iTunes screen showed "your iPod is going to restart, please leave it connected, and it will be recognized after the reboot" (or something like that Cx) i was really happy i could get my iPod to work, but when the Apple logo appeared with the progress bar, it filled like 84%, and the screen became white, it showed the same "do not disconnect" regular screen, and iTunes told "iTunes has detect and iPod in Recovery Mode, please restore it to be used with iTunes"
    So, i tried a LOT of methods from Apple Discussion, formating in Disk Mode, Restoring in Disk Mode, regular mode, DFU mode (only downloads a 1.4mb file and says "preparing the ipod" after 34 seconds and an uncomplete bar it closes ._.) restoring with XP, 7, 8, rebooting the iPod (select + menu, 6 secs) DFU mode (menu + select 12 secs) disk mode (play + select, 6 secs in apple icon) and a lot of hard work.. nothing worked.
    So i tought.. (maybe the iPod's HDD is broken or something) opened Diagnostics and this are the results:
    Retracts :432
    Reallocs: 319
    Pending sectors: 0
    Poweron Hours: 560
    Start /Stop: 426
    Temp status are not important right now, current 23, max 43c, min 15c
    it's obviously an used iPod.  But the Reallocs count is not THAT big
    Okay so i tried something different and asked my friend's iPad cable, this one connected pretty well with Windows 8 and it did restore with no problems at all. but there's one little small issue.. it didn't work either...
    So, i'm here, out of ideas, i can imagine a restore with OS X will change my point of view in some way, but i can't do that right now...
    i Must add that the HD is completely functional, i can add files to it right now, and use them in another PC, i can format it, partition it, and a lot of crazy things, so the HDD is not the problem one..
    Please help me.. i have EVER SEEN a iPod's menu, other than my DSi iPod themed homebrew music player.. (wich looks fantastic)
    Thank's in advance, i'm sorry for the lenght of my note, i have been thinking on it for a long time hehe c:

    After hours of searching for a fix I may have found one on a Mac Forum. This worked for mine but I had to restore it from the last back up. I also gave me the option of restore to new condition (out of hte box) but Ichoose from the last backup that itunes made. It took about 4 hours to fully restore all my 24gb of material. BUT,Now it's working perfectly. For how long...who knows?
    Here's the link to the page where I found the info. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=447185
    Below is the solution that worked for my 2nd gen 32 gig.

    try and do this:
    1. start itunes.
    2. plug the ipod into your computer
    3. hold the power (on top) and home (on front) buttons for a few seconds.
    the ipod should power up, and if if is screwed up, will be in recovery mode... from there itunes will tell you that it finds your ipod in that mode, and needs to restore it.
    just click restore, sit back and it should work again.
    did you hack it at all?
    if you did not hack it, and that doesnt work, call applecare and see what they say. maybe it is faulty?
    still, from my experience with my friends ipod that i made 100% unusable, there is a way to restore even the most broken ipod as long as it has a battery charge.
    i suspect a small portion of the memory is dedicated to keeping emergency boot files that allowe you to restore, no matter how bad things get."

  • Ipod classic stuck at HP detect

    Was getting red x with 2009 ipod classic 160gb.  Tried to manually put it into disk mode, but it get frozen at HP Detect.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Did the problem start occurring right after you upgraded to iTunes 7.6.1 (the latest version)
    I don't use DICE but I have the built-in BMW iPod interface and it no longer works...
    Other people have reported the same issue.
    I'm so mad at Apple for breaking it, they advertise car integration and them mess it up. I already talked to BMW and they said "well, that's an Apple problem"

  • IPod Classic "stuck" at "connected" screen?

    Hi there. I have a BMW and I use a hardware device by DICE to hardwire my iPod to the car. This decive allows the ID3 tags to show up on the Navigation screen as well as the "on board computer" that is underneath the speedometer, as well as allows me to control the iPod either via the iPod itself or the buttons on the navigation device or on the steering wheel. I first used this with my iPod nano, then my 2nd generation nano, and then a 5th generation iPod... all without a problem.
    All of a sudden I sell the 5th generation iPod and get an iPod Classic (80 GB black) and now when I connect to the DICE I cannot use the iPod to control the music. It just loads to that generic orange screen that says "connected to device" and the buttons on the iPod are in essence disabled. I can control the music via the car, but the songs just automatically sort by artist and I can only use the forward/back buttons to browse through my music. Imagine how annoying that is with 80 GB of music!
    I am running the latest version of the software (I forget what that is... I don't have the iPod Classic in front of me but I've run Software Update to check) and with this latest version at least now in that same "Orange Connected Screen" the ID3 tag will scroll along the bottom of the screen, but still no control of the iPod from the iPod itself.
    Anyone else seen this/know how to fix it? Please help!
    Sincerely,
    Keith

  • HT1320 ipod classic stuck during Ok to disconnet message

    My ipod classic has the message ok to disconnect although the bar doesnt go right to the end, I disconnected from my PC but it has now frozen! any ideas???

    Update - the sme happens if I load the music in a different oredr (which would appear to rule out the "corrupt file" possibility). Starting from the other end of the 22,000 tracks, I synched in stages up to 17,000 - all worked fine, I could eject the ipod and play music, all OK. But then when I tried to synch the remaining 5,000, taking it up to the full 22,000, I hit exactly the same problem.
    I even left the ipod connected (saying "OK to disconnect" and with the progress bar complete) overnight, to see if it was just a matter of time - it wasn't, it was still the same in the morning.

  • IPod classic stuck on 'X' screen, can't restart or sync with iTunes

    I've tried everything, but nothing has worked to fix my beloved iPod classic.  It hasn't worked since last September, so about four months.  I'm curious if it has something to do with the classic being discontinued, but I don't see why that would destroy my iPod, which I had for about a year.  If I hit a button, the apple logo pops up, and after a few seconds it goes to a different screen with an 'X' on it, giving me the url for apple support.  It didn't seem like any of the support was directed to my sort of problem.  I have a lot of music, so without my iPod I've been forced to only add a small amount of it to my 16gb iPhone.  I'm hoping that I can get my iPod working again, since I used it everyday.  I would appreciate any help!
    Thank you!

    Hi b.lindstrom,
    If you are seeing the Red X on your iPod, then try putting your iPod into Disk Mode and then restore it within iTunes. If that does not work, then you will need to setup service on your iPod. The article below will have more information to help you out.
