- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

I have plugged in my ipod into my windows computer, scanned and fixed it (which was recommended), now when I tried to sync it again, I couldn't because the memory was used up with 'other'. I don't know what this is and how I can get rid of it, I have no music, films, photos, contacts on it, so am completely stuck! Help me please!
A large amount of other usually signals corrupt software and/or files that were synced to the device. You'll need to restore the iPod via iTunse to reduce it down to a much much smaller size.

Hey I plug my iPhone 5 and the charger is not working and I'm freaking out!!! It never hasn't happened and I just have in this moment 4% I all ready tried on pther pluggers on the house and is the charges that doesn't work. What should I do?
@whimsei,
Hello and thank you for posting back. What it sounds like is the cable that connects to the screen from the motherboard has either come loose or has a issue after the fall.
To fix this it would have to be opened up and the connections checked. If there is an issue with the cable then it would have to be replaced. This will require either you opening up the system yourself and checking the connections and tha cable or sending it in for repair.
Here is the link to the maintenance and service guide. If you feel comfortable doing the work it will help you.

Netflix streaming from iPad to hgtv via VGA cable not working. Message says to turn off mirroring in airplay, but I don't know what that is or how to turn it off. Any help?
Try resetting the iPad (hold the home and power buttons down until the Apple logo appears).

My ipod classic 160 6th gen. was recently stolen. It had 3000 tunes on it and it synced perfectly with Itunes 9 on my Imac G5 non intel OS 10.4.11. So I recently bought same model and guess what, it doesn't sync at all. Now message says it only works with Itunes 10.7 and up. I certainly cant afford to buy a new intel based Mac and I really dont need a new pc. It feels like Apple has dropped the ball on its long time users and tough luck to you and all the $$$$$$$ spent on downloading songs and buying ipods over the years! I AM SO ANGRY THAT I CANNOT BRING MY MUSIC WITH ME ANYMORE. I dont know if there is any solution to this except being extorted to upgrade to new tech! I have been trying to get answers to this issue but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a tech genius so extremely techy solutions will be in vane.
one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.

IPod Classic 160 GB doesn't work for audiobooks in BMW X3 F25
Hello
I have been owning a 160 GB iPod classic for a while now. I have newly acquired a BMW X3 (2012 Model, F25). The problem is that when listening to audiobooks, the iPod doubles or triples the speed (and pitch) when I return to the car after having parked. So it runs fine at first, then I stop and park the car and return and then it sounds like Donald Duck is reading to me ;-)
The car comes with the USB interface to which once can connect media players like the iPod. I am using the original BMW "Y-shape" cable that has once connection on the iPod that then splits into an USB and a 3.5mm jack. I also tried cables from Belkin and the cable that came with the iPod, but all to no avail.
It is not the Audiobook faster/slower function of the ipod that is activated because that would not change pitch, it's like "the record is turning too fast", you can see the seconds in the car's display movig much faster than at a second's pace. The iPod subsequently retains this increased speed even if not connected to the car anymore and can only be slowed down again by resetting it.
I onw an older iPod photo 80 GB which does not exhibit this behavior.
The iPod classic 160 is at the latest software level and so is the car.
Any ideas?

ipod classic 160 gb. Unable to Restore. Also cannot format via C:\ right click on drive and Format. Have tried all the recommended steps I can find. No luck. Any suggestions?
do you need an internet connection to do a restore? (after downloading the software of course)
I can't get to a different connection until Friday night...
It doesn't seem like the antivirus and whatnot made any difference.
what kind of hardware problem do you think it is/would it be fixable or would I have to buy a whole new ipod?
I think the harddrive is still okay... it feels the same vibration wise now as it was when it was working fine- no awkward clicking or movements like I experienced when my old laptop's harddrive crashed. -
I have a sync problem when trying to sync multiple cd's I've downloaded into itunes, at the same time. I have an ipod classic 160 GB, and use itunes 11.0.1. If I delete the songs from itunes, reload the same discs one at a time, and sync after each individual cd, all goes well. What's going on and what's the fix?
Thanks for your help Jim
I found some info in other threads and read that some people had re-downloaded, re-installed and were now working OK. Unfortunately some others went through that pain and still had the issue.
I found a reference to deleting the file 'iTunes Library.itl' and copying back the previous version of that file.
I tried this and when I fired up iTunes I noticed there was a window pop up saying iTunes was updating the database to version 11. I then re-imported the CD and now the songs are there in iTunes, the artwork is there and song titles etc. The songs play and everything appears normal again.
It would appear that my issue was the database was not correctly upgraded correctly durting the original upgrade, this theory is to some extent supported by the fact some people have had success re-installing version 11. This also suggests the upgrade process may be a little flaky.
Anyway thank you to the person suggesting downgrading the 'iTunes Library.itl' file, sorry I did not take a note of your name. -
My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode. I responds to nothing. iTunes doesn't recognize it. It doesn't sync. I've tried to restore and got error 1429. Now it just stays in disc mode and won't turn off. I'm keeping it connected to the charger so it doesn't go dead. Is there anything I can do to resurrect my pod?
To get out of disk mode do a iPod Hard Reset.
Toggle the Hold switch till you dont see the red mark.
Press Menu and Center buttons simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

My ipod classic 160 gb suddenly became 0 kb free after i restored it to factory setting
my ipod classic 160 gb suddenly became 0 kb free after i restored it to factory setting. it should be a lot more. I dont know what to do with it. I tried resetting it, but it still says "0 kb free" in the setting area.
For your info,
restored it to factory setting
means erasing everything in your iPod, and putting back factory defaults, ie no music.
read this Apple Support Article on Restore
You must have music in your iTunes Library and then press SYNC button in iTunes, which will populate the iPod.
Watch this Apple Support video on Sync iPod
If you dont have any music in your iTunes library or somewhere in your PC, then buy some or import from CDs.
Have a nice day! -
Is there a bluetooth adaptor for an old iPod classic (160 GB) that also works like a radio remote?
Is there a bluetooth adapter for an old iPod classic (160 GB) that also works like a radio remote? I have a bluetooth headset and I want to listen to FM radio on my iPod.
Or is there a better way than to use an adapter in order to listen to the radio on an iPod with a bluetooth headset?
TIA!Have you updated your iPod and iTunes sofware?
most cases, iTunes can play these high quality songs, which is meant for newer mobile devices like iPhones, iPod Touch, nano and iPad, which the older iPod cant play, but only playable with iPod classic sofware version 2.0.4
most likely it is an incompatible song format, read this Apple support article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1334?viewlocale=en_USet
If your iPod software is version 1.1.2, then you have to use lower quality format.
Can you select the problematic song, and Advance -> create iPod version -
