Toggle the Hold switch till you cant see the red mark
Press the Menu and Center Button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON then release the buttons

Ipod Classic wheel will not sync with ITunes 11.0.4.4

My IPod classic wheel will no longer sync with the ITunes program on my Windows XP system. When plugged in with cord, the IPod acts as if it is syncing. ITunes shows the eject button for the IPod, but it isn't recognized as a device by ITunes. Our IPad and IPhones will sync.
Does anyone have any ideas? Would appreciate any help you have. I had just reloaed my entire ITunes library after losing everything except what was purchased but didn't think that should be a reason for the IPod to quit syncing. HELP!

120GB iPod Classic Wheel Sensitivity

I bought a 120GB iPod Classic from Best Buy in January and I find the click wheel sensitivity is really, really bad. As in, I have to press the center button in order to scroll most of the time. If that doesn't work, I have to flip the hold switch so it'll work. Even when it does work, the movement is incredibly choppy (you can imagine how annoying this is when I'm trying to fix the volume).
Is this normal or will Apple be able to do something since it's still under its one year warranty? I'm just really frustrated that I dropped $280 dollars on something that doesn't even work well.

I'm having the same problem with a brand new Nano. If that's the way the "new" iPods are working, it's completely unacceptable! Mine hangs up and even pressing the buttons does little to help it because I end up pressing them 5-10 times before anything will happen. I've sent an inquiry to the support team, so it'll be interesting to see what they recommend. I'll re-post if I receive any useful info about it.

Ipod classic 80gb doesn't charge in all accesories!!!

I've always charged my ipod in several speakers (bose, jbl, sony, etc) but now it doesn't charge at all! It only charges using my usb port.
But trying different speakers, docks, even wall adapters it only charges in some of them (quite a few actually), I also tried the same speakers with other ipods and they charged properly!
What can I do so my ipod starts charging again in every accesory I try???

mauricioflorez,
Did this same iPod Classic charge via these other accessories before, or have these accessories charged different iPod models you've had in the past?
The only way to ensure your particular iPod will charge using another accessory would be to verify that accessory is compatible with that particular iPod model. Most vendors are good about listing compatible iPod models on the device's box or on the vendor's website.
It could be that some of these accessories in question are not optimized for use with your iPod Classic, especially if other accessories do work including the ones that shipped with the iPod originally. I would try contacting the vendor of the accessory to verify compatibility.
Hope this helps,
Raleigh

Ipod Classic 160Gb doesn't Sync at all

Hello my friends . I have a 160 GB iPod Classic that I can not sync with itunes , the songs take forever to be transferred and at the end got an error message .

I had the same symptoms years ago with my old HDD based iPod, but I'll save this for last ...
I'll work under the presumption you have already power cycled the iPod.
First, check your connectors. A bent pin, a dirty lead, something not plugged in firmly can and has lead to transfer problems.
Second, check USB wire itself - especially around the stress points for any compromises or tears. Again, this can lead to transfer problems.
Third, change USB ports. Sometimes peripherals suddenly don't want to play nice with a particular USB port.
Fourth, reboot your machine. Most iTunes sync issues often end up being solved by a reboot of the computer.
Fifth, do a hard reset (not a restore) of the iPod.
If none of those work, and I cannot say this with 100% certainty, but I fear that your hard drive could be failing. My iPod experienced the same errors and slow transfer issues right before it gave me the big triangle exclamation mark on the screen and never came back no matter what I did.
Put your iPod to your ear while transferring and listen carefully for anything that doesn't sound like smooth spinning and the read head moving freely.
If you hear any repetitive clicks or pops, or a rhythmic ticking - the drive is probably kaput. Try not to let the iPod power down (it may never come back on) and try to off load as much data as you can.

IPod Classic alarm doesn't work

I've used the alarm successfully on my old iPod Classic 60GB, now on the new iPod Classic 160GB it doesn't work anymore (I tried every option I could think of (with & without headphones, while keeping it on/off, etc., even enabling the clicker sound which seems to be the solution on iPhones, even after a full restore etc., etc., etc.)… but there seems to be a solution because I found this message:
a certain user "jaz271", had a similar problem, then added "Sorted" but doesN'T TELL HOW… what the use of putting such messages if there is not even a single way to contact the author?
Please help me out on [email protected]
Thanks.
PS: Also bizarre: the function on the old iPod Classic (60GB) vanished since the latest update. SO no more alarm on Ipod Classic 60GB.

I had the same problem -- alarm doesn't work on iPod Classic 160 GB, meaning I can't use it to listen to music to put me to sleep since the headphones block out any external alarm. I assumed it was something I'd done wrong, but viewing this and an even earlier (2007) thread, it looks like an Apple bug that hasn't been fixed in five years. APPLE PLEASE HELP! This is not what we expect from you.

HELP! Why is my ipod classic wheel rough??

is the ipod classic's wheel suppose to be rough? can i return it for a new one?

If it is the 6th Gen ipod Classic, it is smooth and sleek to the touch, so bring it back to the store that you bought, and feel another one. If both feel the same, then you are at a disadvantage. Or else apply the lemon law.

IPod classic alarm doesn't 'beep'

manual reads
"Choose a sound Choose Tones or a playlist. If you choose Tones, select Beep to hear the alarm through the internal speaker. If you choose a playlist,
you’ll need to connect iPod classic to speakers or headphones to
hear the alarm."
I select Tones, then Beep, and the iPod comes on with a notification when the alarm time comes up, but no 'beep'.
Running firmware 1.0.1
Anyone else having this problem?

A restore (with upgrade to firmware 1.0.2) fixed the problem.
One note, I had used carbon copy cloner to backup my ipod first, but upon restoring my backup, the alarm stopped beeping).
Restored again, and manually copied my music and files, and all is good.

Ipod classic 160g doesn't sync Itunes 11.0.4 (4)

Since I updeted the Itunes I noticed that it crash at the end of the syncing with the ipod 160g classic, some songs were not trasfered, I tried to restore the ipod many time, re-install de Itunes many times, change the settings from automatic to manual when I sync, I erase the preferences of itunes, and Nothing.
I did the Test to check the hard drive and this are the results
Retracts:1
Reallocs: 0
Pending sectors: 0
Power on Hours: 33
Strats/Stops: 3912
Temp current: 34c
Temp Min: 53c
Temp max: 254c
I noticed that Temp max:254c is wired
I always noticed that the Itunes crash at the end of the sync, bot it doesn't store the all the music only 200 songs from 11500 aprox.
Do somebady has an idea how to fix it?

After 3 days dealing with the problem and searching all the tutorials over there. I found a weird solutions. But I want to tell you all my process just in case that this could help you.
I try the tutorials that apple support offer, and I try some of the tutorials from the next links:
http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/erase/index.shtml
http://geeknizer.com/how-to-fix-corrupted-ipod/
http://www.macworld.com/article/1151428/itunes_uninstall.html
Nothing work until this point. Also I reinstall Itunes from zero. I try everything carefully and I was conscious not to damage the ipod. However when I finally was thinking to quit.
I decided to sync the ipod in the old Macbook 2006, but the harddrive doesn't have enough capacity so I decided to sync the songs that I purchased form Itunes. Surprise surprise everything was ok. I decided to return to the Imac to do the same and surprise surprise no problems only with the songs from apple store. That makes me think that maybe something in the library was the cause of the problem.
I decided to sync manually the music (big deal because I have 11450 song aprox). However I started little by little adding songs by album checking mark boxes in the albums classification, maybe 200-500 per time.
I noticed that in one group of songs (the album named "Various Artist" the unknown artis for an album name !!) showed the crash behavior with Itunes, so I decided to skip that album and continue, I succeed and at that time I almost finish my library.
I returned to check that album classification and I noticed that It contained four albums and random songs, some of them showed strange look (albums divided in a wrong way even though I downloaded from a original cd), but I stop in a particular album (one that my brother shared with me from mp3 files) I deleted and after that I finished the library.
I finally synced 10400 songs from 11450. I checked and the rest of the songs are related with some English courses and multimedia files but I'm still losing 1000 songs over there. I think I will erase my full library from Itunes and import the songs again to create a new fresh library.
But now almost my full library is in the iPod. I have been modifiying the content of my playlist and it doesn't show the crashed problem.
I hope this culd helped you and Good Luck!

IPod classic 80G doesn't show on iTunes

My iPod is not even a year old.
I haven't been using my iPod for a while now (maybe for two weeks now), because I didn't have money to buy new earplugs. Before my earplugs were broken, I could see my iPod on iTunes, but now, I don't. I thought it was because the iTunes needed to be updated, and I did it, it still didn't show on iTunes. I don't know, it doesn't show on My Computer either. It used to.
I did the 5 R's, I did everything else also, what apple had in their troubleshoot. Ipod is loading and charging when I connected it to any USB port. so they are working. Ipod is working also well. I have no idea, is it that my computer is faulty, or my iPod is faulty. So Im asking, please, help me

If no luck, do you have a warranty on the unit from Apple? If so, I would set up a service request. Otherwise, it may be a good idea to send it to an iPod repair center for a diagnostics test. There are several places out there that can make this happen. Just do a simple google search for "ipod repair parts" and you should receive several sites that can assist you.

IPod Classic Calendar Sync Problem

I have an 80 gig iPod classic, and it works perfectly fine except for the calendar sync function. I really want to get my Outlook calendar on my iPod, and for some reason whenever I sync it, it says it is syncing my calendars and takes a long time. Then I check my calendar on my iPod and the calendar is empty. I've made sure that the box is checked for it to sync calendars from Outlook, and I've even cleared Outlook plug-ins, leaving only iTunes and my security plug-in. I have also tried syncing it after doing these things multiple times and the same thing happens.
How can I get my Outlook calendar onto my iPod classic?

doesn't work for me with classic 120, vista and outlook 2007.
Looks like it needs a fix and will have to wait for apple to sort it.

Ipod Classic+mini Cooper

I have a new ipod classic that doesn't connect to the mini cooper interface. My older nano worked fine. Ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I'm not familiar with the mini Cooper interface, but it could be that there are some compatibility issues with the new iPod.
You could try resetting the iPod while it's connected...
Reset iPod
Also, make sure that all of the software on the iPod is up-to-date via iTunes (make sure it says that software is updated). If there had been an issue, it may have been fixed with a recent update.

hey, I have an iPod classic and it can't connect to iTunes.
I put the USB into my computer trying to add music, but it doesn't seems to react.
It DOESN'T say that it can't recognize the Ipod..
- Itunes just simpely doesn't react when I put the USB-cabel into my computer.
- when i go to the task manager the "apple device mobile" and "ipod service" is acitve in the processes
- I've tried to restart my computer (windows XP)
- update iTunes
- reinstall iTunes
- restart my apple devices mobile manager
what I think is the problem (which I can't solve) is that iTunes doen't even react to the USB
plz hlp me!
- ps it really should be able to add music to my iPod without getting help from a expert.

Hello qz0rz213,
It would seem that iTunes has encountered or developed an issue in the process of trying to sync photos to your device. The best place to start would be removing the iPod Photo Cache (thus allowing for a new version to be created).
Note: Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
If the issue is not resolved by removing the iPod Photo Cache, the following article goes into further steps that can both help you determine the source of this trouble and eliminate it.
Symptoms
In certain situations, iTunes may display an alert or may be unable to sync photos to an iPod or iOS device. Examples include:
After updating iOS, iTunes displays an alert that there is not enough room to sync photos
This error appears: "The iPhone/iPod touch '[device name]' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
This article outlines steps to resolve these issues.

I have a IPOD classic late 2009 160gb ... Only my play/pause buttons doesn't work ? Do I need to replace the click wheel ?

I have a IPOD classic late 2009 160gb ... Only my play/pause buttons doesn't work ? Do I need to replace the click wheel ?
May try DIY due to cost
Just wondering if anyone's had this fixed how much it costs
Or if it's another problem before I order parts

I have found the solution for myself for the above. I use a specific scripting program which is accessed by Control A. To pause it, you need to use Control B. not sure if this would work for any other application but it resolves my dilemma after hours of trying!
