More of a Buying iPod Classic question...

I am in the market for a new iPod since my 8GB Nano is filled and i have more music that I want to add to it.
Although the iPod Touch is neat, I need more room and was considering an 80 or 160 GB Classic.
I went on ebay and found tons of them...only they were cheap as heck. Are these legit? Or chinese knock offs?
Anyone know?
Thanks!

Don't go with the 5g... Yes the classic is buggy right now, but apple will fix it, you know them. With the new one you get:
Full metal (more durable and scratch resistant front)
Glass screen (read this on a review, maybe apple insider, not confirmed though)
Bigger hard drive for cheaper price
New UI/Cover flow
Support for the future games when apple pulls the ones for the 5g out of the store

  • I had to reinstall iTunes and lost the library, so I used what I had on my hard drive, but I have much more music on my iPod classic than is in the iTunes library. If I synch now will it delete all that extra music from my iPod?

    I recently had to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows 7) and lost most of the library. I restored with what I had on my hard drive on the PC, but there is much more music on my iPod classic than is in the iTunes current library. I'm worried that if I synch now it will delete the extra music from my iPod, some of which I don't have available to re-rip etc.. Will this happen, or is it safe to synch more content without losing from the iPod what is already there but not in my iTunes library on the PC?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
    To fix Home folder permissions
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder.  At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    Press RETURN.  You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

  • Buying iPod Classic in UK for foreign user.

    I would like to buy an iPod classic in a UK retail store, but the computer/itunes account that will use the iPod will be foreign (EU), will it work? If so what about the warranty and are there other things to keep in mind?

    It will work fine. The warranty rights should probably hold elsewhere, particularly within the EU See http://www.apple.com/uk/legal/warranty/ for small print.

  • Ipod classic question (possibly first generation)

    My mom has an ipod classic, I believe it is a first generation, and the computer it was "synced" to went down and so I was going to connect her ipod to my laptop and add music to her ipod for her. But I don't want to delete any of the songs from her ipod that are already on there, is there a way to add more music to her ipod without deleting all the music that is already synced on to it?

    When I sync I get the message that some of my content wasn't synced to the iPod because of an unrecognized format. Its odd because it is downloaded from iTunes and is in m4v...I have not checked my settings. I will do that.

  • IPod classic question, need answer

    I noticed this, when ever I play a album on my 80GB iPod classic when it's done it goes back to the track list. Does this happen to anyone else?

    Hi, can anyone help before I throw my new Ipod Classic in the bin please ?
    I have uploaded all my music ok but when I connect my Ipod, I get a 1/2 page request to agree to sofware licence. I click to agree but can't go forward as the "next" or "continue is on the other 1/2 of the page which I can't see.
    How do I reduce it to get to the instruction ?

  • Need more capacity/furture of ipod classic

    Hello,
    I’m a 5th generation owner and the thing is still going strong after 5 years. (Gotta say, I’m impressed about that.) But I’m out of space. I was wondering if anyone’s heard any rumors about the future of iPod Classic. If there’s a chance they’ll discontinue it and double the size of the Touch I’ll need to get one this summer (don’t think 128 is gonna hold me for long), but if they’re going to continue it and maybe even upgrade again I will definitely want to wait till September.
    Anyone hear anything? What would you do?
    So tired of having to “uncheck” to add music.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I downloaded the update separately as I was updating a lot of podcasts and that took 22 minutes. That is as much a factor of my ISP and the time of day (among other things), of course. When I was ready, I started the install and I do remember that the initial part of the restart seemed to take an age until the progress bar started moving; but the whole thing was done in about 30 - 35 minutes. The data itself was not replaced. I did that once before just after I bought it and that took an hour or two.

  • IPod Classic Question

    Could someone let me know what will happen if I sync my ipod to my itunes library even though they are not the same (my ipod has more songs & my playlists) will I lose my ipod items or will they copy to my itunes library? Thank you so much.

    just connect your ipod to pc and open ipod drive...........there is photos,contacts,etc folders in it .
    now go to folder options and turn on HIDDEN FILES there it is an ipod folder NAME(IPOD_CONTROL)  i it copy it to your pc.
    then just add it to itunes and sync your ipod:)

  • IPod Classic question(s)...

    I just bought a classic (80GB) the other day and I'm waiting for it to be delivered. I opted not to get the touch because I already have an iPhone and I didn't want to get the two devices confused by looks, nor did I feel like spending 500 bucks for a lame 32GB of space!
    Anyways I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the finish is like on the black one? Is it a shiny piano black or a flat black? I can't really tell by pictures online.
    Also, would this model be over or better then the iPod video? I had a 30GB model over a year or so ago but sold it cause I wasn't really using it.
    I just hope I made the right choice.
    Thanks.

    I was out traveling tonight and decided to check my mail from my iPhone and got a very strange message from the following user (who responded to this post earlier last night), by the name of "Snipereye64" and his response was "I hope u die"!
    I must admit it took me by surprise that someone would respond like that to my post. What is his deal? Is he a troll? I see his post has been removed, but that was totally uncalled for, kinda creepy too!
    Thanks again for your answer though Hrveylee...
    Yeah, unfortunately as with all interactive sites like this, occasionally the brain dead post with stuff like that.
    His post will have been removed by the forum Hosts. Don't worry about it, as I doubt it was directed at you specifically, just that he (or she) picked on one of your posts from the iPhone forum where that person also posts a lot.
    These trolls are best ignored.

  • Video to iPod Classic Question

    I'm having an odd problem that I can't seem to fix. I've downloaded from iTunes the first season of "Dexter", synced it and watched the program on my 80GB iPod. I just downloaded season two, and though I can watch it on iTunes, I can't get it to sync onto my iPod. Season one still does, but it won't recognize season two.
    Any help please? I'm travelling soon and desperate to get this fixed. Thanks

    When I sync I get the message that some of my content wasn't synced to the iPod because of an unrecognized format. Its odd because it is downloaded from iTunes and is in m4v...I have not checked my settings. I will do that.

  • Getting my 80G Ipod classic to play on TV,s or video players

    I have tried almost everything I can to get my Ipod to play on video players and my TV. I have the setting to TV OUT on. Have all the cables that I need. Yet when I try to play it on any thing else all it does is stay on the TV OUT screen Get sound but no picture. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help?

    If you bought the iPod AV Cable (The one for $20), you got the wrong one. That one -the one that connects from the Headset jack to the 3 color cables (RCA)- is not for the iPod Classic, it works only with the iPod with color display, iPod Photo and iPod Video.
    I saw one kit earlier today on Wal-Mart with a bigger box and for a much bigger price: $99 Dollars! HEY APPLE! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? You need to be more clear on your packages as to what iPod is compatible that device and/or need to make more devices for the iPod Classic.

  • What do I need to buy in order for my iPod Classic 160GB to connect with my blue tooth speaker

    What do I need to buy in order for my IPod Classic 160 GB to connect with my blue tooth Ultimate Ears Boom speaker?

    Upgrading RAM and your HD will give you some performance gains, but depending on what you are doing, it may not be enough. Your best friend will always be processor speed. This has a direct relation to how many cores and the speed of the RAM.
    However, if you are unable to spring for a new computer, then the options of running more RAM and a biggger, faster HD should ruduce some bottle necks.
    Here is a site where you can check out what your computer can handle http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade They have some charts comparing speed gains with various components.
    Are you using the track freeze option to manage the track count and subsequent demands on your machine?

  • Can I buy an iPod classic in the USA and use it in Germany

    Dear friends and apple users,
    I am currently using a MacBook bought in Germany with Mac OS X 10.4.11 and I would like to buy an iPod in the United States as I am staying here for a long time. Can I also use this iPod classic in Germany without any restrictions? I have heard that there is some kind of feature from Apple that makes it possible not to be able to use the iPod outside the USA/with a non-american Apple device.
    Thank you for answering in advance,
    my name

    I really want to get an iphone, but I'm in the Army and I'm getting assigned to Germany in a few months. I plan for Germany to be my home for a few years. When I looked at Apple stores in Europe I saw they had them in Italy and UK, but not in Germany. My main issue is if AT&T is the service provider in GE. Or do they offer more options over in Europe? Does anyone have any knowledge or experience?
