IPod Classic won't charge with iPad charger

I have a 120GB iPod Classic and tried to charge it using the charger from my iPad 2. No luck - the indicator doesn't show that it's charging. The iPad 2 charger works fine on my iPhone 4 and I read that it should work with the iPod as well. Shouldn't it? Any thoughts? My goal is to be able to travel with just one charger. Thanks

It should work.  See here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3044169?start=0&tstart=0

  • Ipod classic won't sync with iTunes 10.4

    My ipod classic 160 does not want to sync with the latest iTunes update(s).  The same thing happened with the last update about a month ago.  How do I fix this?  The last time I put the ipod in disc mode and that seemed to work.  But it isn't working this time.  Any suggestions?  Anyone know why this keeps happening?
    Thanks.

    Hi Pharmer
    I had the same problem and finally found out it was the Spotlight in Lion that was causing the issue of the sync failing as its trying to do two things at once. At least thats what it has been for me.
    By going to System Prefs > Spotlight > Privacy and adding the iPod to the list I was able to stop Spotlight indexing the iPod every time I attached it to my machine and thus stopping it from being able to sync.
    You can check if its doing it by attaching your ipod then clicking on the spotlight in the top right. If its indexing it will tell you.
    Hope this helps you out
    Update: This worked to get my iPod full of stuff. Next time I tried, it won't sync, so back to square one...

  • New ipod classic won't  sync with itunes on windows 8

    I transferred my itunes library (via an external hard drive) from laptop windows xp to new laptop windows 8. I am now unable to sync my new ipod classic 160gb. I have also tried my old ipod classic 80gb but it won't sync either.

  • Ipod classic won't sync with itunes 10.6.3

    My new iPod Classic 7th Gen (2.0.5 mac) is not syncing with iTunes 10.6.3. I get an error message telling me to update iTunes to a version above 10.7.
    This is not possible on a Powermac G5 (10.5.8) since it has no Intel Core.
    Is there any way to restore the the iPod Classic to an earlier firmware version (before 2.0.5), that can communicate with iTunes 10.6.3?
    Cheers, Joern.

    Then I guess this iPod is going back to the store. I have a PPC G5, and everything was working fine. But, I just lost my iPod classic from two years ago, and just bought a replacement... now I cannot use iTunes 10.6.3 to synch with it. I am *not* buying a new computer *just* to sync my iPod. I will try linux synch software and if that doesn't work then it's going back to the store.

  • IPod Classic won't sync with iTunes library on external drive

    iPod Classic 160 is recognized by iTunes.   It knows the library is bigger than the iPod, and it allows me to select parts of the Music and Podcasts to install on said iPod.  It whirs for a long time, pretends it's writing to the iPod.  When I disconnect, there are no songs and no Podcasts on the iPod. 
    It did the same with a NEW iPod I bought yesterday.
    How can I fix tbhis so I can write part of my library to at least one of my iPods?
    Thanks for any help.

    After searching this issue out and trying a bazillion different things (with no luck), I deselected 'Enable Disk Use' then re-enabled, and everything is working now.

  • Ipod classic won't sync with Itunes

    Help! Since the time change, neither my Iphone 3G nor Ipod classic will sync with Itunes.
    I unplugged Iphone after receiving can not sync messages. Plugged back in & Itunes did a restore. However, upon starting to sync, message re-appeared that it could not sync. I unplugged Iphone and it is still functional.
    However, when tried to sync Ipod, syncing continued overnight (about 12 hours). When I awoke this morning, PC was frozen and had to hard boot it. I then went back into Itunes and Itunes did not recognize that my Ipod was connected. I ran diagnostics and it failed at recognizing Ipod. Ipod is frozen with message "Connected, Eject before disconnecting' and is not functional. I have sent diagnostics to Apple and am waiting to here from them. However, thought I'd check here to see if anyone else had encountered this issue. I am totally lost without my Ipod and can not run or workout until repaired. That may sound silly. But it really helps me mentally through workouts.

    Update: OK! I am not sure what happened because I have tried this all morning. I held down the menu key on Ipod for about the 12th time. This time it rebooted. Ipod is functioning and appears that it did sync. However, I am not yet confident about connecting it to Itunes. I may wait until I am ready to purchase more tunes in a few weeks. LOL.

  • Ipod classic won't connect with PC unless reset

    Everytime I conect my Ipod to my windows 7 pc it does not appear in the iTunes list as connected devices, the iPod screen also does not recognise the PC when connected via USB.  Reset the Ipod and it wil then connect as normal.   A reset needs to be done everytime I want to sync.

    A typical case of Antivirus intervention.
    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with Ipod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes cant read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your Ipod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When Itunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    Good Luck! and have a Nice Day!

  • Ipod Classic Won't Sync with ITunes - Windows 7

    I've been having some problems syncing my Ipod up with my Itunes.  The last time I had a successful sync up was probably 2 and a half weeks ago.  I've tried multiple solutions already but havne't had any success yet.  I tried reinstalling itunes, switching usb ports, resetting my ipod by holding in the center and top button, launching itunes in safe mode, switching computers to see if it will install on my PC instead of my laptop, and I have tried switching USB cables.
    Everytime I try to sync it up the same thing happens.  On the Ipod's screen it will read "Connected Eject Before Disconnecting", however on my computers screen it will not appear under devices.  I opened up My Computer to see if I can at least see it there and my Ipod does appear there for about 20 seconds and then it will disapear.  It's as if the Ipod disconects itself....however it continues to receive electricity from the computer cause I can see it charging.
    Has anyone had this problem and knows of a way to fix it?

    one more thing... once you're finished and you want to get your ipod out of disk mode...
    Hold down the center button along with the menu button and then your ipod will turn of
    After that step has been completed and your ipod is switched off you turn your ipod back on but press the play/pause button so that it switches from disc mode to non-disc mode.
    Well then your ipod is back to shape and you can carry on listining to your music!

  • Ipod classic won't sync with itunes 11 anymore

    My ipod 160gb classic died from a low battery, so i connect it to my computer, and then a strange white screen with a exclamation mark pop up saying 'do not disconnect', and then itunes suggested me to restore it, taking precaution, i went ahead and did that, but now itunes won't sync music to my ipod anymore, i think it has something to do with enable disk use being checked, but it won't let me uncheck it, i don't know what to do, someone please help!

    Unclick Manually Manage Music and Videos, which is right above Enable Disk Use.  You can then click on Enable Disk Use.  I had the same problem as you and that fixed it.

  • IPod touch won't "pair" with IPad 2

    Has anyone been able to pair their iPod touch with their iPad?  I want to use the remote on Slide Shark or Keynote to wirelessly control the presentation on my iPad and can't get them to recognize each other.  Any suggestions or work-arounds?  I don't have an iPhone and the apps are not supported on my Droid phone.  Thanks!

    For an iPhone and an iPad, the two devices just have to have Bluetooth turned on witin range and be running Keynote Remote and Keynote respectively. The two apps connect across Bluetooth; the devices do not need to pair.
    Does that not work with your iPod touch?

  • IPod Classic won't sync to PC

    My iPod Classic won't sync with iTunes on  my PC. An error message is received stating that there is not enough memory available to sync, but I have 101 GB free on the iPod. I'm using iTunes Version 10.6.3.25 on a PC with the Vista operating system.The iPod operating system is 2.0.1 PC.

    It sounds like your PC may be too low on memory (RAM) or Hard Drive in for the iPod to sync properly with iTunes.  Try rebooting your PC to see if that helps.  Then run only iTunes and try to resync your iPod.
