My ipod classic 5th gen was resetting and it had a caution sign saying to come to ipod support

what do i do? it says to go to apple.com/support/ipod

Start with the iPod troubleshooting assistant.
iPod (5th generation) Troubleshooting Assistant
If the issue still persists, it's likely a good indication that your iPod has a hardware issue and will need to be serviced.

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync.

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process. The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack. Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause. The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that. Your advise would be enthusiastically received.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

IPod Classic 5th Gen

My iPod classic 5th gen will not do absolutely anything even when plugged into a working charger. Ive tried resetting it but there is not even an apply logo pop up screen, it absolutely does nothing.

Have you tried a reset of the iPod? To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, try a restore of the iPod in iTunes.
See here more help on skipping tracks.

My iPod touch 5th gen went black and is not being recognized by my computer?

My iPod touch 5th gen was working perfectly fine about an hour ago i was taking pictures talking to my friends. I had it in my pocket for about 30 mins without using it and when I went to grab and check on it went completely back and I thought it was dead but I remembered it was charged more than half way. When I got home I plugged it in my computer and it doesn't appear on my computer what do I do?

Dang, if you had a Windows, I'd definitely be able to help you. Maybe try restarting your computer, & re-installing the Apple Mobile Device Support & iTunes under your "programs" on your computer settings. Idk if this helps because I have Windows not Mac :/ Best of luck.

Ipod classic 5th gen 80 GB, cannot add more files past 12.9 GB

I have an ipod classic 5th gen and I can't add any songs or videos past 12.9 GB even though its an 80 GB capacity. I keep getting the error messages:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "ipod" failed. the disk could not be read from or written to."
"The ipod could not be synced because it can not be read or written to"
"itunes could not copy "x" to the ipod "ipod" because the file could not be read or written"
I have already restored, updated, erased hard drive using disk utility and installed fresh copy of ios 1.1.2, replaced the battery, used all my usb ports, used firewire port, formatted on both windows and mac, and downgraded to 1.1.0, but still can't go past 12.9 GB.
What can I do to resolve this problem?

By the sounds of it, you have pretty much exhausted all forms of troubleshooting for this type of issue. It appears that the iPod's HD is beyond repair. To verify that, see this older post from another forum member turingtest2 going over step-by-step instructions on how to perform a disk diagnostics on the iPod and what the resulting numbers mean.

Ipod classic 5th gen weird serial number 8L*****887

Have an ipod classic 5th gen all functions perfect. connects to itunes. restores fine and all seems as it should except serial number on rear case of 8L******887 model no A1238 and serial number showing in itunes is u1******890.
Anyone got any ideas????
<Edited By Host>

To be of any assistance, we need more info
Which version of iTunes are you using?
What is the iPod software version as shown in the iTunes summarry page?
Which model of iPod Classic are you using?
Can you play the music listed in the iTunes library?
Most helpful if you try and get the error message or bring it in to the Apple Store for the Genius to have a look.
Have a nice day!

IPod classic 5th gen. with sad face goes into disk mode but wont register in itunes

I have an iPod classic 5th gen. A while ago it stopped working and the sad faced iPod started showing up. i've tried putting it into disk mode but when i do it wont pop up into itunes like it should and as soon as i unplug it the sad face appears again. is there anyway to fix it or is it done?

There is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon. You may find it useful.
The Sad iPod/folder and ! icon.
Btw, there's no such thing as a "4th generation 20gb classic." Your iPod is a 4th gen and not an iPod classic which is a completely different model.

Ipod classic 5th Gen stuck in recovery Windows Vista

Alright, here are the details: my iPod classic 5th gen. is stuck in recovery mode,
and it won't connect to iTunes so I can restore it. Now, I know I have the latest
version of iTunes, I have deleted it & reinstalled it, and even restarted my
computer, but it still won't come up in iTunes...What should I do??

A person on youtube presented a fix by putting the ipod into disk mode and then plugging it into your Windows computer. Well... what happens on mine is the itunes dashboard does come up which to me means it recognizes an ipod is attached but after 30 mins. the icon showing my ipod never appears on the dashboard so I can open it to restore it. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated (especially if you ever found something that worked).

Make an appointment at the genius bar.
If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

DoI have to sync the ipod? DoI have to reset the ipod?

Copy all the contents currently on your iPod Classic to your new iTunes library and then choose the Erase and Sync option. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I have an iPod Classic 5th Gen. After 1 month I've lost all my music and playlist files. The only files left are music I have purchased from iTunes. How do I restore my music library to my iPod?

I have an iPod Classic 5th Generation. I have not used it for about one month. When I turned it on, I had lost all my music and playlist files. The only thing left on the iPod was the music and audio books I have purchased from iTunes store. I tried to delete everything on the ipod by sliding the hold button and then pressing the center button and the menu and I saw the apple logo on the screen but the iPod wouldn't reboot. Any suggestions as to how I can delete everything on the iPod and then plug it into my computer to restore my music library? I am using a Windows 7 operating system.

Does both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
if it does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
Connect back to the Mac
When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
Sync your library.
Good Luck!

How can I unlock ipod touch 5th gen currently disabled and never sync'd with itunes

Basic situation. Ipod touch 5th gen. Passcode forgotten and tried too many times such that ipod is disabled and requested to connect to iTunes. Problem is that the ipod was never sync'd with iTunes so the connection fails. I've only owned it for 9 months or so. I know I can recover all my music through iTunes and my applications through the app store since all of my content was legally purchased. The problem is that I need to also recover my contacts and pictures since this is the only place they exist.
I have read about methods up to 4th generation where you can access a particular file on the device via computer and rename it to unlock the device. That would most likely allow me to then sync/backup via iTunes and recover my data. Problem is that I can only access the DCIM folder via windows manager and it contains no data. Perhaps there is a way to access the device a different way?
Is there a way with the 5th generation to either reset the lock (from disabled to locked with a 1 min wait for retry as an example) to allow me more opportunities to try other passcodes that I may have set (including mistypes etc) or to remove the passcode completely and let me set it to something I will write down this time?
Please do not reply with the standard apple responses of 'sync with itunes' or 'factory reset' and no, I did not sync with the icloud either (I tried but it was unsuccessful for some reason).
The answer doesn't even have to be a free one as I would be willing to pay for the solution if it were guaranteed to work. Since apple seems to want to charge for any type of support, even to ask a question, I am relying on the community for help. Thanks much.

You have to place the iPod in Recovery mode as Apple says and erase the device. It is a security feature.
or
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
There is not other way

IPod Touch 5th gen RED product and Beats Pill disconnects

My iPod Touch 5th gen, RED product keeps disconnecting from my Beats Pill. I thought it was the Pill so I sent it back to the manufacturer, twice. Finally got a new Pill with the new firmware from them but the iPod Touch RED won't work. Boyfriend tested his regular iPod Touch 5th gen and my iPhone 5 with the Pill and they run for hours. iPod Touch RED disconnects within one song. SO annoying and I have no idea what the fix is. Help!

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to rejoins wifi networks as well as repair the headphones.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPod Touch 5th gen headphone jack and battery not working properly

Yesterday my iPod touch 5th gen's battery started draning at an incredible rate. Won't last longer then 1 or 2 hours now. And add onto it the headphone jack stopped working properly. It's now only plays in one ear, it's all static over the sound it's supposed to play. I baby my iPod. This all happened out of the blue. What do I do to fix it?

Saraa22 , the same recommendation was given over a year earlier:
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If anyone has this same problem with their Ipod touch 5g headphone jack. I found a way to fix it. I did everything of the above but nothing actually worked . But this is what worked!
First reset your Ipod by pressing down the on/off button and the home button at the same time for 10 seconds until you see the apple icon
Then after it turns back on : Go to settings then press on general. Then press on accessibility and scroll down and make sure MONO AUDIO is on!
This will definitely fix the problem.
