Ipod Classic wont recognize Music as Music it says "other"

I just got an iPod Classic of 120Gb..
Yesterday i installed the latest iTunes, and restore de iPod Classic, it works fine..
Now here is the problem i have around 7,000 songs in my PC, thats like 50GB-60GB.. I tried syncing my device with al the music with no succes, after 3 or 4 hours transfering songs y unpluged from the Itunes button and then disconected from the PC and the iPod says i have no music.. I went to the space in the HDD of the iPod and says 50GB of "other" instead of "music"..
I tried it again thinking i did something wrong, but same problem actually everytime i conect to itunes the iPod says i need to restore.. So i restore everytime..
Now thinking the iPod was working bad, i transfer just 1 song manually and it works..!! I was able to hear it actually. So i thought if i do the manual transfer could be fixed.. I did transfed first 2,000 songs in one step and didnt work.. Same problem..
I know i can use other software basically other firmware and this would be fixed but i love to have my things like the original.. So.. How do i fix it..?
Its obvious there is no way im going to transfer manually 7,000 songs..

Its a problem from apple and apple need to fix it.. When they sell their products dont tell you to sync in packs of 200 songs..
Where and when did you buy this iPod? The 120G iPod Classic was replaced by the newer 160GB some years ago, so it begs the question "did you buy this iPod second-hand?"

Still better than the alternative surely? And since you are the one who said: I tried it again thinking i did something wrong, but same problem actually everytime it makes me think that perhaps you are, every time. We just havent discovered yet, what that is.   
Have you connected the iPod to your iTunes Library and let the Sync complete? Did you see the message telling you that it has completed?
Did you check (if not, try it now) that the Capacity bar at the bottom of the iTunes Device window looks more or less correct?
If the blue "audio" is small, and the orange "Other" is large, then try clicking the Sync button again before disconnecting.
When you remove the iPod from the computer, you do use the eject (aka safely disconnect) button, don't you? Either of these, according to how you have your iTunes configured:

Because, as a rule, you don't need to...

  • How do I get my iPod classic 160GB to upload my music to iTunes in my new Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5?

    How do I get my iPod classic 160GB to upload my music to iTunes in my new Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5?

    That would be via home sharing.
    Make sure  it's enabled in iTunes (file - home sharing) and Apple TV (settings - computers)
    You would then access on Apple TV using the computer icon. Your computer would need to be on and running itunes

  • The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I have!

    The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I just got!

    First off, I would STRONGLY suggest that a external hard drive would make you life much easier by at least being able to back up your songs on the external drive for when you need them. Even if you don't want them in the iTunes library, you can have them all ready on the external to be re-added as needed. You can get 100's of gigs for under $100 shipped.
    Anyway, since you used Yamipod, are all the songs back on the computer? If so, I would go ahead and restore the iPod, let iTunes then resync everything back to the iPod, then switch it back to manual and see if the restore and resync clears up the issue.

  • TS1372 ipod classic wont restore or reset

    ipod classic wont restore or reset error code 1415,,1417,

    I assume you have seen this article regarding this error message.
    iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

  • My Ipod classic wont turn back on

    My IPod classic wont turn back on. I dont know why.

    Try a Reset.
    Turn the Hold switch on, then off again and then press-and-hold the Menu and the Select (centre) buttons together for at least ten seconds. The Apple logo shoudl apapera at soe stage and then the iPod will re-start.
    Alternatively, if the iPod's battery is drained, plug it into a power source and leave it for at least thirty minutes. Only then will it show signs of life.

  • Classic wont recognize new printer.

    My boss just got a new printer - which can only be installed in OS X 10.2 or higher. Now - she has a program that only runs in Classic - OS 9 - and she needs to print, but Classic wont recognize the new printer.
    I've found the article on how to share printers between the two - will that fix it - or do you need installation software for OS 9 as well - in which case the new printer can't be used to print from the older program.
    Thanks,
    -Brad
    Ps. - The details below are my bosses details.

    Hello brad,
    It would help if you list the model and make of the printer. I am new to X but have been reading that there are often work arounds for this type of situation. There may be an alternate driver. I have just started to read about "GIMP" printing which i think is like generic driver for many printers.
    Start with the make and model and I feel confident others will offer more help. It is quite possible that there may be a workable solution........Jim

  • My ipod classic wont turn on. telling me to go to a link

    my ipod classic wont turn on. telling me to go to a link. www.apple.com/support/ipod cant find for what im looking for. can someone tell me what i can do.

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

  • My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen. Have tried everything on apple troubleshoot but hasn't helped. Still works in Logitech iPod player. Any suggestions please???

    My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen on the ipod. Have tried different computers, usb cables and ports, as well as restarting computer, updating itunes, and rebooting ipod. Still works in Logitech iPod player, however it has just wiped itself of all songs so at the moment I'm stuck with a useless iPod. Any suggestions please???

    If you happen to have a USB docking cable that is new (or close to being new), try using that one.  If the cause is the dock connector on the iPod becoming worn, if you try it with a cable that is not worn, it's possible that it may connect for data.
    I believe the dock connector is internally part of the logic board, so it may not be economical to have a repair shop (including Apple Store Genius Bar) do the repair.  You'll need to ask for pricing.

    If it's the most recent iPod classic, it appears to be quite difficult to pry open.  I have an older 4th gen (and 3rd gen) "classic" iPod, and those are fairly eash to pry open, using the plastic tools.

  • Ipod classic corrupted and cannot save music..

    Suddenly I found out that my iPod Classic 5th Gen reset by itself and lost all music in it.  I thought the hard drive was corrupted and tried to restore the iPod with iTunes.  After that I mannually copied music back into iPod using iTunes.  But soon I rejected the iPod off the computer (Windows 7), it reseted back to zero with no music on it.
    I don't know what's going on.  Do any you share me some tips how to fix this thing?  It is really frustrated and hope that you can help me.
    Appreciated,

  • Why does my iPod Classic keep pausing while playing music in a dock?

    Hi, can anyone help with this? I am playing music through the iPod Classic on a Philips docking speaker and every few minutes it pauses. This is so maddening, what can I do to stop it. Thanks

    From my own experience recently, I would suspect that the Philips dock is faulty. However, that won't get you very far, so as a method for narrowing down the problem, ask yourself the following:
    Has the iPod/Philips dock combination ever worked?
    How are you connecting the iPod with the dock? Is it the docking connector, a cable, bluetooth?
    How long does it work before it pauses (time it)? Is it the same time each attempt?
    Can you try the iPod with a friend's dock, or can you try the dock with another iPod? What happens?

  • HELP! My 5th Generation iPod Classic will not sync all music.

    So, I recently bought a 5th Gen 80GB iPod Classic (used) from eBay and I just got it in the mail today. However, when I try to sync it, it starts to sync normally, the progresses to slow down, and eventually stops syncing. While iTunes is syncing the iPod, the screen on the iPod says that it is "Synchronizing" and eventually goes to the "Connected" screen which is why, i think, it isn't syncing. I went to Best Buy today and bought a new 30-pin to USB cord for the iPod, but that didn't fix it. I also tried syncing the music by artist, album, and even did the same by manually dragging the music into the sidebar where my iPod shows up. Help!

    Sorry, it'a s 6th Generation, not a 5th.

  • My new Ipod classic will only synch purchased music from my Windows 8,1 computer

    My Ipad and an older Ipod synch the entire library, but the  new Ipod classic won't see anything but music purchased from the Itunes store. I have used both the entire library option and the manual option, but neither will see anything but the purchased music. Please help!!!

    I had something similar occur when I purchased a new I-Pod. Sync did everything except vids I had downloaded from YouTube.( These are placed in films/home films.)
    Apple support rang me after about 30 secs and talked me through how to sync these and done within 5 mins. All vids now synced on my I-Pod.
