Just got a iPod Classic and I need help. Been trying for a few days already
Just got my iPod classic. Plugged it in once and iTunes read it fine, I uploaded a few songs. Later that night, I plugged it back in...and the ipod cant get pass the Connected screen. Once that screen shows up, the ipod shuts off. It does that over and over and over so its not even showing up in itunes.
I'm getting frustrated.
Try to leave it connected for a while so that the battery can fill in without any request of power.

Whenever i plug my Ipod Classic (new) into my computer it says Sync in progress, then switches to "OK to disconnect" after loading about 40 songs on, and then deleting them off the Ipod. What's going on? All the computer says is "cannot load songs, unknown error occured."
To help in troubleshooting,
What is your iTunes version?
What is your iPod firmware number, as shown on the Itunes summary page?
You problem is iTunes timeout the sync process because there is no response from the iPod. Possible causes
iPod Hardisk malfunctioning.
Antivirus scanning
Other USB devices, using up the USB resource
iPod connected to USB 1.1 port instead of High Power USB2.0 Port
IPod connected to USB Hub.
Windows plugins or Malware using up CPU resource.
Whenever you sync or Restore the IPod, connect the iPod to the Back panel USB 2.0 port, disconnect all other USB devices except the mouse, and disconnect from Internet, stop your antivirus.
But if the above doesn't work, bring it back to Apple , since it is under warranty.
You can also do a Disk Diagnostic as posted regularly by tt2, to check your Hardisk, it wont fix the problem but help you decide what to do.

I am using Tiger, 10.4.11 and have an iPod classic 120 gb working fine with about 7 gb of music on it. I just got another iPod classic 160 gb for my wife, and would like to sync it to the same iTunes file, but I got a message which says I must upgrade to iTunes 9.0 or later. If I upgrade to 9.0, will my 120 gb iPod be o.k. with that? Rumor: I have heard that iTunes 9.0 or later changes the format of the music.
Thanks to all for reviewing my question. I am trying to avoid a possible disaster here, having to load about 90 cd's all over again. If anyone knows, could you tell me what will happen if I download iTunes 9.0, and install it. Will it copy all of my music into it, or fail to recognize it, or recognize 8.0 and just upgrade rather than replace it? Thanks again. Tom

How can I get itunes to download on my PC. I just got an ipod classic for Christmas and can not get Itunes to download. Website goes to downloaded page but i never get a downloading popup. I even turned off my popup blocker.
Make an appointment at the genius bar.
If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away. -

Just got the iPod Classic. What is taking up 12GB of space when it says it's empty? (Hoping to clear it)

The operating system and space reserved for the iPod to carry out its tasks, such as remembering what you have played and how many times you've played it (this information is Synced back to your iTunes Library at each Sync.) There is also a slight discrepancy in the way that storage size is calculated, which accounts for some of that 12GB.

You cannot.
You still have 148GB for storing your music, vidoes and Podcasts. That's quite a lot.
My music library is currently 115.78GB and is a mixture of songs at various Bit Rates. (The higher the Bit Rate, usually, the better the quality.) It has more than 17,000 songs and will play (non-stop) for 58 days.
If your Library becomes (or already is) larger than this, it is possible to set iTunes to automatically manage the content, by removing (for example) recently played songs (except any specific ones you always want on your iPod) and then to put back onto the iPod songs that haven't been played for a while.
If you would like any detail on how this is done, let us know.
In the meantime, enjoy your iPod.
Create your Library of music and - my advice is - to use Sync to add everything to your iPod. In other words, do not use Manually Manage. In the long run, Sync is easier. You can still fully control what is on the iPod using Sync. Again, if you need help, this is the place to ask. Generally speaking, the more points a user has, the more people feel that have been helped by that user. -

I have 3 ipod touches. Just got a new one and set up an apple id for it. But when i use the ipod to go to store to make a purchace. It tells me to sign in, and brings up an Apple ID and ask for password. the problem is the Apple ID its bringing up is for my other Ipods. How do i change it to bring up my id i set up with That ipod. I never once put that id into the current ipod. Like i dont even know how it got there.
This is what yo have to do:
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign in with the other account.
That is the only place.
Try signing out. Then
Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then sign back in. -

I just got an ipod nano and noticed i had Itunes on my computer. My boyfriend had downloaded it for him a while ago on the computer with his own music. I went on the account and downloaded some music but it will not let me sync it to my nano. I believe that must be because it is his account. I went to the control pannel to uninstall the program (with his permission hehe) and re downloaded it. All of his stuff came back up. I am not able to sync anything to my nano thanks for any input!
Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has no affect on the media on the computer or the account it is linked to.
If the media was purchased under another iTunes account, then it is permanently tied to that account.
