IPod Classic Time format

I Have ipod classic 80 gb in time format i've chose 24 Hour format and it shows the time in 24 Hour format but when the screen turns off when it shows for ex the play sign and the hours it shows the hours in 12 hour format.
I hope you can understand and let me know how to fi it

It is not a problem in itself. It just speaks a lot about Apple's firmware quaility considering how old this issue is, how often it is mentioned, how obvious and how easily fixable it is.

  • Ipod Classic Re-Formatted In Disk Utility Not Being Recognized

    I last posted about this question 4 months ago on this forum and still havent received an answer that works. My Silver Ipod Classic 80GB was used to update the OS on my computer. Foolishly I partitioned the disk on it using disk utility and updated my computer. After i tried to erase the partition the ipod stopped being recognized as an ipod on my mac running OSX. It is recognized as a hard drive. I formatted it with Mac OSX extended Journaled in disk utility and nothing seems to work. When i plug it in itunes auto starts and pops up but the Ipod simply doesnt show up in the side bar. I have tried it on all different macs and windows computers and it still wont be recgonized on the mac. On the windows machine i am able to reformatt it so it works with a PC but when i plug it into a mac itunes autostarts and it still isnt recognized as an ipod
    help would be greatly appreciated

    i dono man, but I have exactly the same prob. if u wouldn't mind letting me know if you figure it out I will be happy to send u a quick message if I figure it out first
    thanks

  • Ipod Classic Date Format

    Hi, can anyone tell me how to change the date format on an Ipod Classic from Amercian (mm/dd/yyyy) to British (dd/mm/yyyy)?
    Many thanks.

    Hi, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I don't think you can change the format, not that I've really looked until now. I certainly can't find an option on the iPod for it. Then again as far as I can see the only place it actually appears in that form is on the Set Date page, everywhere else I see Nov 18 2009 or November 18, 2009 so it shouldn't be too confusing.

  • Does restoring an ipod classic (prior format on Mac) in Windows delete music?

    Does restoring an ipod classic (which was previously formatted on a Mac) in Windows 7 delete the music already on ipod?

    Thanks fiend,
    I don't have access to a Mac. This ipod (bought 2nd hand) is my first apple product & came with some music on, but I can't add any, till I reformat to use in Windows. Was hoping not to lose existing music but ..... Thanks for helping a novice.

  • TS1891 is there a way to invoke the disk scan mode on an ipod classic 80GB formatted on a PC?

    I have tried to understand what the diagnostic information says under HDSmartData option, and apparantly there are:
    Reallocs: 392
    Pending: 40
    So, I assume that 392 reallocs are bad. The 40, umm well, are about to be reallocated? What can I do to fiqure that out and to take action and fix the errors. My iPod is way out of warranty. This iPod classic is the one from 2007 by the way.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Andrew Joseph Poulain

    I would, but swap the HD with a SSD, which besides lower power consumtion, dont gives HD problems like bad cluster, worn drive.
    And I prefer the older iPods (I'm still using my flawless 80GB iPod 5th Gen Enhanced) and Original iPod Classic ( 6th Gen), which is showing some age, as the Realloc has creep up to 2650, but other numbers are low). I guess the newer hardisk are less durable.

  • Transferring songs from a Windows-formatted iPod classic to iTunes on Mac

    Hi everybody, I'm curious to see if this is even possible. My husband's Windows laptop died for the second time in three years, so he decided to switch to a Mac after seeing my MacBook last longer than both of his Windows laptops. :o) Anyway, now that the Windows hard drive is dead-and no, he didn't back up his songs to CD-he wants to transfer the songs on his Windows-formatted iPod Classic to iTunes on his Mac. I tried Yamipod, but it said "firmware unsupported" and quit-I suspect the Windows format had something to do with it. He has a lot of songs ripped from CDs and he doesn't want to lose them or have to spend time re-ripping them. Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help!

    same thing happened to me. I purchased iPod Access from the internet (for about $15). This program will let you transfer your music and playlists from your iPod to your library

  • Itunes is no longer synching with my ipod classic. I have changed computers a few times. itunes knows it's my ipod, but won't synch. Possibly something I need to do with the network?

    I haven't been able to synch for a very long time. I'm finally tired enough of the same music constantly on my ipod that I'm trying again to find some help. I'm computer literate, but not a tech person by any stretch.
    According to itunes, I'm not due for a software upgrade until later this month and yet it seems also to reject my request to check for software upgrades. Which seems like there isn't a connection. The fact that it says I'm not due yet makes me think it does happen.
    One thing I've gotten lately is the message "itunes isn't my default" and when I go to make it and check everything for itunes and nothing for windows media, nothing changes and I get the message again. This morning I checked "All" and will see if that makes a difference.
    I was unable to connect to itunes store until this week. For some reason it worked and I was able to download a movie.
    Apple says I have no coverage for help from them -- of course.
    Anyone?

  • My apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. can't restore.

    my apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. the only way to unfreeze it is by detatching the ipod or resetting with menu/centre (until it loads up again, where it immediately unfreezes and comes up with a load of messages saying "cannot read iPod" and when i try and restore it by pressing menu/centre button while it's plugged in, it says "cannot restore as it is being used by another program" or "error 1415". Any ideas how to sort this out? hope i haven't majorly screwed it up. thanks.

  • IPod classic displays 'No music' after sync, HDD problem? Geschiedenis • Verwijder  So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn't find any files on the iPod anymore. H

    So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn’t find any files on the iPod anymore. However when you look in the settings it displays that ~roughly 90 GB free space is available. Seen the fact that I had about 60 gigs of music this doesn’t seem like a coincidence and I think my music is still somewhere on the ipod but the HDD isn’t recognizing it anymore.
    I’ve tried resetting it, and resetting it to factory settings, which didn’t work. When connected to a desktop it won’t be recognized by iTunes, it displays an error message that the iPod cannot be read and that I have to reset it to factory settings.
    I’ve spent some time researching this problem yesterday and I ran into a myriad of vaguely similar problems didn’t really offer any help. Currently I’m thinking that formatting the iPod might work, and restoring the software afterwards. However this is a rather bold strategy so I’d like to consult you here first.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi turingtest2,
    Thank you for the info, with formatting my iPod I managed to connect it to iTunes again.
    However..in the page you linked to there is a section about how transferring large amounts of data can dump your library. That seems to be the problem in this case. It won't even allow me to transfer more than 2 gigabytes of music per sync, if I go higher it will dump everything again. Having over >60 GB of music in my library, this is disastrous to say the least.
    Do you think that there is any other solution besides the method you mentioned involving Smart Playlists?

  • Windows 7 and iTunes doens't recognise iPod Classic 80g after wipe clean hard drive and format fat32.

    My iPod Classic 80gb every now-and-then goes funny, and eventually iTunes doesn't recognise it. In the past I could put it on disk mode, and do a reset, but some times I would have to format (FAT32), uninstall and reinstall iTunes, so it would work. Now it happened again, this time wiped clean the hard drive and formatted. However windows 7 and iTunes still doesn't recognise it. Tried many tips online but nothing works. All software I have used don't see the hard drive, so can't format it again.
    I can get it on disk mode but even then windows and iTunes don't recognise it. When connecting to laptop my machine goes boiling hot. Left it connected with iTunes on for  few hours but still no luck.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello @turingtest2.
    Following your threat I realized it was time to have my hard drive changed. My iPod classic has a Samsung Model: HS081HA, 80gb/3600 rpm (real hard to get it open and check out!!!).
    My question is if I DO HAVE to buy exactly the same hard drive, or I could get away with another manufacturer and model, such as Toshiba (80 GB MK8009GAH FOR iPod Video 5th 5.5th iPod Classic 6.5th 7th Gen Hard Drive - Ebay listing)?
    I ask you that as these Toshiba hard drives are considerably cheaper.
    Help much appreciated.

  • Restoring/Formatting my ipod classic?

    After replacing my ipod classic for a third time, the sales representative, to test my ipod, plugged it into his mac. The ipod began to optimize itself for a mac. he assured me this was no problem, and so I went on my way. When I home, I plug in the ipod and it sayed that the ipod had to be restored in order to work with windows. When i hit restore, however, it tells me that itunes was unable to complete my request and that I was unauthorized to download the software. What's going on, and how can I get around this?

    Fair enough. The issue is that the ipod is unable to be restored/formatted. When I plug in the ipod and click restore, the message always states that I'm not allowed to access the software that the ipod requires to download; I've tried on 3 different computers and they all get the same message. It's possible that I may have to plug it into a mac to restore it, as it's been optimized for a mac, however I feel that that's just going to cause a repeat of the same issue. This is pretty much all the info I can give, unless there's something I'm not thinking of. Thanks for taking the time to try and help me out, by the way!

  • Hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone. how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?

    hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone.
    how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?
    the device has just installed necessary drivers to microsoft upon plugging in
    like a say though, not showing up in itunes still
    before it recently had this failure, it had shown up as corrupted and that it needed restoring (but i was holding off, as i manually managed all music and was hoping for a way to back it all up, to no avail)
    first time posting here, would appreciate a quick answer because tempted to just click the 'restore device defaults' option
    Many thanks

  • IPod Classic 160GB film library sync problem -  trying to sync films that have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store - all other libraries sync perfect - why?

    Hello Apple and the iTunes Windows PC users community.
    I am trying to sync films that I have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store. The mp4s all appear and play successfully in my iTunes application but will not sync across to the iPod film library folder.
    For your information: I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 7 64bit machine with 500GB hard disk and 8GB of Ram in the UK.
    I have restored the iPod classic 160GB three times now to see if it was a hardware problem with no joy. Each time all the music restores properly as do the podcasts and all the items in TV programmes all appear to sync and work fine.
    I have also tried to copy films into the TV Programmes to get around it with no joy. They always go to the films section to start with. It is just the Films library that does not sync - all others work perfectly. As a last resort I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes with no joy either.
    I am technically savvy and have gone through the itunes and ipod settings but nothing appears to make a difference - This is the first time I have had to post here as I can usually solve the majority of the ipod anomilies but this one has me flummoxed.
    Has the film encoding type changed in the newest itunes update? - Has this happened to anybody else and is it a hardware, software, or operating system problem.

    Having uninstalled the current version 11.1.3.8 and loaded and older version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 I can now categorically confirm that the newest update seems to be causing the problem as the films and TV Programmes are syncing perfectly on this older version.
    If you are going to do this please dont forget to remove the  ' iTunes Library.itl' file as this stops the older versions from running as I've just found out

  • IPod classic formated for MAc and Windows

    Hello
    I have a problem with my iPod classic. I use both Windows and Mac platforms and have iTunes library on both. Or course i would like to use my iPod with both as well. But each time i connect my iPod classic th any of the computers it asks me to restore the settings i.e. format it to either Mac or Windows. Does anyone now how to go around that problem, how to set it to work with both platforms?
    Thanks

    I have a similar problem.. I have a normal iPod, and I originally used it on my PC. I recently got an iMac and now iTunes says that "..Windows formatted iPod's cannot be updated on Macintosh computers.." or something very similar to that..
    Any tips/ideas?? Would be greatly appreciated.
    BTW.. I still have the PC, but would just prefer to control my iPod from the Mac.
    Thanks =]
    [edit] Ahh, have read another post about this. So if I restore my iPod, will the music be transferred automatically or do I have do do something else for that?? [/edit]
