Ipod Classic won't display on Samsung HDTV
Hi, I searched the forums, and someone has already asked this but no one has been able to answer. I thought I'd try it because I'm desperate. I have an awesome brand new HDTV by Samsung. I went and purchased the component cables for my ipod classic. They don't work on this TV?!!! All I keep seeing is "no signal." How is this possible? Grrrr. I've been back and forth to Radio Shack. I tried the "composite" cables and they worked OK but the picture keeps pausing and skipping (not cool when you're trying to do a workout video)!! Has anyone figured this out yet? I want my component cables to work! We got them to work on a little tiny Sony TV at Radio Shack, so I know the cables aren't bad. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
I have discovered a bug in iTunes related to this issue. If you click on "Enable Disk Use" in the Summary tab in iTunes with your iPod Classic 160 connected, you can then manually add notes and contacts. Unfortunately, if you uncheck it and then sync your device, all of the manually added Notes and Contacts will disappear on your device. The only way you can make Notes and Contacts reappear is to use the restore function on the Summary tab in iTunes with your device connected. Of course if you do this it will erase everything on the device and you will have to start over again like it is new.
A word to the wise, if you ever check "Enable Disk Use" don't ever uncheck it.

160gb ipod classic won't display album artwork...sometimes
I have a 160GB iPod Classic (version 2.0.4 PC), and ran into a strange problem regarding displaying album artwork. Here's what I can describe:
--> When browsing through albums, any albums that have been added to my iPod or had their info changed since a certain time (not sure of the exact date but I believe it to be July 2013) do not display artwork.
--> If these albums are played, one song from the album will not display artwork, but all the rest will. I can't detect any set pattern as to which song won't display artwork once I update it, but I'm sure there's some pattern.
--> All the album artwork is displayed on Cover Flow and on iTunes, but not in these places.
--> It doesn't matter whether I downloaded the artwork directly through iTunes (i.e. clicked "Get Album Artwork") or put in artwork from a file on my computer, this happens literally every single time.Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.
a slightly quicker method is to highlight all the songs on that album (make sure it is just that one album) and paste the artwork into the box.

IPod Classic Won't Display Notes or Contacts
After I installed iTunes 11.1.0.126, my notes and contacts don't display on my iPod Classic. I have the "enable disk use" option checked on iTunes. I have manually saved txt files saved to the Notes folder and vcf (vCard) files saved to the Contacts folder on my iPod. When I select "Notes" on my iPod, I get the display "No Notes" even though there are notes entered. Likewise, when I select "Contacts" on my iPod, I get the display "No Contacts".
Thanks for Responding,

IPod Classic won't display artwork, delayed gap when playing songs
Hi there,
Recently I had my computer wiped and upgraded from Windows XP to Windows Vista (Ultimate) The music and iPod were both originally synced to the XP version, Upon reinstalling iTunes on my computer and placing the songs stored on my external hard-drive in my iTunes library and re-syncing my iPod Classic I have found that artwork will not display on the songs (it does display in the side view when browsing through albums though.) along with this whenever I choose a song to play on the iPod there is a long delay with the iPod loading and even just skipping a songs, which is even more annoying, Along with this when I sync my iPod or go to update it, it crashes iTunes
I have tried restoring my iPod countless times, I've enabled disc use, disabled disc use, browsed over and over at the settings and preferences, restored the iPod, reset it, reformatted the iPod, reinstalled iTunes, defraged the iPod (I know its not recommended) performed a disc check on the iPod (which there are apparently no errors) I originally believed it to be corrupted but went through the necessary steps to fix that, I'm at wits end with the thing, any help?
I'm pretty anal when it comes to my iPod being all organised so this is a massive bother to me lol.
Cheers for any help and suggestions,

Settings are set to English. Reset several times, changed usb port, rebooted computer, followed all troubleshooting directions. Only thing I haven't done is remove itunes and reinstalled. Registered successfully online, Apple site obtained serial # through computer's internet connection.
Initially booted up in Asian language and won't change. Also, won't go past first menu. Got it at Best Buy yesterday 2/7/2012. Should I return and get another?
Running Windows 7 Pro, 32 on a PC.

Ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2
ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2.
I updated to itunes 11.0.2 today, after delaying it for a looong time (I have it @ work and don't like the new layout).
Since then, none of my ipods will mount/show up/update. I've tried all USB ports, 3 ipods, 3 cords. Wondering if you know of any issues. I've restarted the mac about 15-20 times today since as soon as I hook up an ipod, itunes immediately spins the beach ball and won't let me click out of it.
I've restarted the ipods 10+ times each.
All of the ipods DO show up on my desktop though. Just not in itunes anywhere with 11.0.2.
One more thing: It's not the cables or the ipods: they both mount fine when connected to my laptop (running old *** 10.4.11 and itunes 9.)
Machine is a Mac Pro running 10.6.8.Finding this Post took some time but I thought it was me talking when I read it. I was having the exact same issue. I have a G3 I've been upgrading like mad, including a Sonnet G4-500 CPU a Maxtor 60gb & 80gb HDs 1gb of RAM a new LaCie Firewire800 PCI card Graphics card etc. the latest was installing Panther 10.3.9 on the new 80gb HD and also swapping out the old CD-ROM and replacing with the (Apple standard) Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-110D combo drive in it's place. got everything up and booted and poof! no burning. Toast worked read/write no problem. iTunes could read and import no problem, but wouldn't burn a CD.
Downloaded "PatchBurn 3.1.3" installed, re-booted and all is OK in burner land again :>)
I wanted to just post my additional thanks to the lead to Patchburner, and I'm going to donate to the cause. It's worth a $20 donation just for my joy of not throwing this computer out the window!! -
IPod Classic won't connect - need to restore. What do I do?
I installed the latest iTunes onto my laptop (Windows 8), and now my iPod Classic won't connect to my laptop or iTunes. It's also telling me I need to connect to iTunes to restore it. I can't connect it to iTunes.
When I plug in the USB cord, It starts the iPod in Disk Mode - still no connection. What do I do?!Hi DanielleGuise!
It sounds like your iTunes installation is not recognizing that your iPod is plugged in, so you will need to address that issue before you can restore the iPod. Here is an article that will help you do this:

IPod Photo won't display album artwork for purchased songs
I bought some songs on the ITunes Music Store, and I can see the album artwork on the ITunes, I can also see in my IPod the artwork for most of the songs that I've downloaded, but I CAN'T see the artwork for those recently purchased.
I also noticed that when I purchased songs I had a duplicated file for each one of them, stored in \iTunes\iTunes Music\ and \My Downloads\ respectively, so I deleted the copies from \My Downloads\
Bottom line is, I can see all the album artwork in my iTunes, but my iPod Photo won't display some of it (specifically, the songs that I purchased)Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.

the past few times I've connected my ipod to to itunes, it doesn't update. there's also no "update ipod" option under any menus. ***? anyone know why?
I have a different issue but my ipod classic won't update either, figure I'd post in the same topic.
I can download the software but once it extracts, an error message pops up saying my ipod can't be updated and a code (1462) is at the end of the message.
I have 1.1 and no previous issues with updating or with the ipod. I've tried rebooting it and no difference.
Any ideas why or what to do?
Thanks in advance. -
When using USB input iPod classic won't read in new car
Just bought a new car with a factory iPod ready stereo system. When using the USB input iPod Classic won't read but son's iPod touch does. Anyway I can fix this? I know my Classic works fine as I was using it in my other car and it works in my wife's car. Is the car just too new therefore making my Classic incompatible and soon to be obsolete?
the best option is to contact the car manufacturer or look at the manual to make sure it supports your ipod verision. if it is a custom radio then look then contact the manufacturer or look at the manual for same thing. you can try a reset with http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.

160gb ipod classic won't sync since update to 11.2.2, system wants to wipeout all current info on device
same has happened to me, on and off, for the last 6 months. Its an issue with the Mavericks system and ipod classics. works great for a while - then one day for no reason - erases the entire iPod. some days the copmputer will not recognize the iPod and you have to start over. Apple will tell you that "you" may have a disc problem in the device. that is all the help I have received.

My iPod classic won't synch from iTunes. This is a recent problem. The error message reads "The iPod cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that the music will sync but photos will not sync. I am running current versions of software on the iPod and the iMac / iTunes. HELP! J
First try to resolve #2 by:
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says. -

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.
