IPod Classic syncing

I have an older 30G IPod Classic given to me by my daughter. I am having a problem syncing Pod Casts from my iMac. I was able to transfer all of my music to it as well as iCal & Address Book data, but am unable to sync my Pod Casts. I get no message as to what the problem may be. Any help will be appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi JH,
Let's start with the Podcast settings. With your iPod connected, the iPod selected in the Device List, and the Podcast Tab selected, have you made these selections?
Sync, All Episodes, All Podcasts.
Regards,
Jerry

  • My iPhone and iPad aren't detected by iTunes but iPod classic syncs

    My iPhone and iPad aren't detected by iTunes but iPod classic syncs. I have re-installed iTunes, reset devices etc. The iPad and iPhone charges through the computer and Windows 8 recognises them.

    If the issue is not resolved, you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:

  • I have an Ipod classic sync'd to a PC. The PC is no longer working. I purchased a new MacBook pro. How can I sync the Ipod to the new Macbook pro

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the Mac as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your Mac first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • HT1384 My Ipod Classic syncs and charges, but stops charging once it's done syncing.

    I just got a new laptop with Windows 8 and downloaded the new itunes on it.  My Ipod classic syncs fully and while syncing charges the battery, but when the syncing ends so does the charging of the battery.  Is there a setting I need to fix in Itunes?
    Thank you!

    I did the restart with holding the center and menu and then I reset my computer all of which did nothing. any other ideas?

    My oldest iPod is an ancient 30 GB Classic, and it syncs fine with the newest iTunes (12.0.1).

  • IPod Touch vs iPod Classic Syncing.  Simple question,  Any answers?

    I have an iMac G4 running Leopard and a new Mac Mini Intel running Snow Leopard. Here is my connection issues:
    1) My iPod classic syncs to both computers.
    2) My iPod Touch (running OS 4.0) syncs to my iMac but not the Mac Mini.
    Why?
    There has to be a simple solution, but I haven't seen one. I've tried all of the solutions posted here for the Touch, but none work.

    Your mini needs to be running iTunes 9 to start. The touch syncs via a piece of software called Apple Mobile Device Services, the classic does not use this.
    These two tech articles will help you solve the problems you are having with AMDS on your mini:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
    and if you need to remove and reinstall iTunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224
    If you are connecting through a USB hub, try connecting directly to the mini until you get this sorted out. If you are going to use a hub, it needs to be powered.

  • My iPod Classic sync keeps failing with iTunes 11.4

    My 80GB iPod Classic stopped syncing with iTunes once it'd updated to iTunes 11.4 and then the memory failed (at least I think so as it no longer seems to have any, even though it has no music on it). Assuming this was an issue related to my dying iPod, I purchased a second hand 160GB iPod Classic that has been tested and should be working fine yet when I tried to sync it with my iTunes yesterday it would copy about 8 tracks and then freeze, giving me the spinning beach ball of doom before eventually telling me the sync had failed and giving me the error message -1401 (which I can't find anywhere online). According to iTunes some of the memory has been used up and the iPod says that there is now 7gb less free memory than when I got it but there's still nothing on my iPod. When the iPod is plugged in it says it has zero capacity according to iTunes yet the bar along the bottom shows it has plenty of free space. I've tried restoring it, restarting it, etc but to no avail. Please help!
    I currently have iTunes 11.4 and use Mac OS X Mavericks (not quite sure which release currently as I'm at work but it was updated recently) on an iMac from 2009/2010 trying to sync with a 160GB iPod Classic (which currently claims to have 141GB of free memory even though it has no content on it).

    You might want to read through this post I recently wrote summarizing what can lead to synchronization problems. My first suggestion would be to determine whether the problem lies with iTunes/your computer or the iPod itself. To that end, if you have a friend with a working iTunes setup (or at the Apple store), I'd see if you can get that machine to at least connect to your iPod and restore it with something... anything. If that works, you know the iPod itself is OK and not corrupted, and you can look at disk diagnostics and such. If that doesn't work, then contact a Genius bar for service.
    If the problem is on the iTunes/your computer side, my post cited above should help. I'd suspect the problem is in the underlying Apple media drivers, and I'd move back through the iTunes versions until I find one that works. Note that, at some point, you may no longer be able to read the backed Itunes library (and do back up your libraries). If that happens, you should be able to reimport your music from where it is on disk, but you may lose metadata such as ratings, play counts, and playlists.

  • Ipod classic syncs with itunes, but when I disconnect, no music shows on ipod

    I have an iPod classic 160GB and am able to sync the ipod to my macbook with iTunes 11, and it shows that I have 35gb of music on the iPod in iTunes. But when I disconnect the ipod, it says there is no music on the ipod. I think the problem started when I tried to connect the ipod to someone else's computer, but then there was a power outage so the computer died while the ipod was connected. Next thing I know, there is now music on the ipod. I've tried erasing everything and going back to factory settings, then re-syncing with my computer. Once the sync is complete, on the computer it shows the music is loaded, just when it's disconnected, there's nothing there.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Is this a playlist you created or one that was created by iTunes?  Is it configured to sync to your iPod from under the iPod's Music configuration tab in iTunes?

  • Ipod classic sync to new macbook pro

    Hi,
    I bought a new ipod classic and did use it on my old PC but now have a new macbook pro.  What, if anything, should I do when I attach my new ipod to the new computer??
    Thanks

    Doris,
    Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it to a new computer/iTunes library the process will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with the content that is now in your new iTunes library.  If possible, copy your entire iTunes library from your PC to your Mac first.  Here are a few ways to do it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    One way to do it is to use your iPod Classic as an external hard drive and copy it that way.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
    Otherwise, you'll need to use one of the methods described in this Apple support document to copy content from your iPod back to your Mac.

  • IPod Classic Syncing Error

    I have an iPod Classic 80GB from a few years ago. and everything works well besides i cannot sync it or see my music that was on it before it started to have issues. I can still scroll throught the menus, so it is not the OS, but i cannot see my music in the menus, and it says it is there if i go under info and look at the memory used. Also when i try to sync it to itunes, it either crashes it(this happens 90% of the time), or it asks to reformat, then after a while says it cannot be reformatted.
    And i tried reformating it on my friend's mac and it would not work either. I have windows 7
    Any ideas? It is well past it's warranty.

    Hi Iggy,
    good to know its not just me!
    I have an appointment with an "Apple genius" at the apple store on wednesday so will let you know how get on.
    On the phone to apple support the other day they suggested it could be my pc...however have just stnced my library sucessfully to my wifes nano - she doesnt like music though! so to me that means that it cannot be the PC?
    GLNHP - thanks for you post, I have tried restore so many times I have lost count so it cannot be that. Also, thought about a sonng being corrupt so I exclude the song where it stopped for the next sync and it still stops, just on another song, again at the 2GB stage.
    Any more suggestions will be well received and will post to say what has happended at the apple store.

  • My iPod Classic syncs some music on and then corrupts and wipes... Help?

    I decided to restore my iPod Classic 160GB because it was running a little slow.
    I have since on numerous times over the past few weeks tried to restore all my music back onto the device but I've came up with the same problem everytime.
    Everytime I sync it, it gets to around 10% of my music library onto it and then corrupts and wipes itself and demands a restore.
    I've tried everything with the files. I have put them into sepreate smaller playlists, I've ticked and unticked them all and I've restored the library itself but not to any avail.
    Can anyone help me?

    The iPod hard drive has bad sectors, a replacement hard drive will resolve your issue.

  • New Ipod Classic syncing problems, restoring problems

    Hello,
    Just got my 80gb Ipod Classic yesterday, and have had syncing problems, and now Itunes does not recognize it at all.
    I'm using the latest version of Itunes (7.6.2.9)
    Ipod Firmware 1.1.2 (or whatever the newest is)
    Windows XP Pro
    I'm a long-time user of a 5g 30gb Ipod and never have had issues like this. I am syncing to the same Itunes library as my old Ipod. Connecting my new Ipod Classic, I updated the firmware, and tried to sync. Halfway through the sync, I got an error. I disconnected the ipod and reset it. I tried syncing again, and again it would hang at some point, had to disconnect, and then it said my ipod had no music, but with 60gb free only. So obviously a database problem on the ipod and some mp3 files that my new ipod classic didn't like (though my old 5g ipod has no problem with this library).
    Next, I connected and did a Restore.
    I removed the culprit mp3 files from Itunes Library, attempted to sync again. Again, it would freeze at some point during sync. Had to disconnect Ipod while Itunes was frozen. Again, Ipod says has no music but with only about 60gb free.
    So Ipod is corrupted again. The problem is when I connect it to my PC, Itunes no longer recognizes it, so I can't do a Restore. What do I do?

    Just wanted to post my results, for future users benefit:
    Putting my Ipod into Disk Mode, connected to computer, Itunes recognized it, performed a Restore.
    Still had syncing/freezing issues.
    Decided that my Itunes library database was corrupted. Went into My Documents > My Music, and deleted the Itunes Folder, except for the containing Artwork Folder.
    Have been rebuilding my Library from scratch since, and have had no syncing problems yet again.
    Only problem is that in the outermost Podcast menu, it is always empty. The only conveninent way to access my Podcasts is to make a playlist and put them all in it.
