Yes, it's likely that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and is in need of replacement.

  • My Ipod classic stopped suddenly while playing on the dock. On checking it said connect to iTunes to restore and the battery had also exhausted itself. On connecting to iTunes it kept displaying the message Do Not Disconnect. It never worked after that.

    Hi THEAnswer-78,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like iTunes is giving the message that the iPod is corrupt. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

    Most likely, water damage.
    You can try putting your iPod in a tupperware, half filled (maybe half inch) with rice grains, close the cover for about a week.
    If you have done this, as soon as it got wet, higher chances of success, now looks like the water moisture is getting to the LCD screen.
    Then you can always bring it to Apple Genius bar, for a an overhaul. (may cost you half the price of a new iPod classic.)

    Hello adifromba
    Try putting your iPod Classic into Disk Mode to force a restore within iTunes to get it to show up. The steps to do that are within the first article below, I have also provided a second article for further troubleshooting if it continues to not show up.

  • 7th Gen iPod Classic was unplugged during sync, now it pops up in Windows Explorer, but not iTunes. How can I fix this?

    Okay.
    I have a Windows 7 x32 OS, and an 80gb Silver 7th Gen iPod Classic.
    So, I bought an iPod used off of eBay and I recently decided that 80gb was a bit too much, so I was going to resell it on eBay and buy a smaller iPod.
    While I was restoring it to set it back to factory settings, my computer shut off due to a power problem.
    Now when I plug it in, I get a message from windows saying "You need to format the disk in drive :M before you can use it. Do you want to format it?"
    It shows up in windows explorer as a Removable Disk, and it isn't being detected by iTunes. I plug it in the iPod says "Connected. Eject before disconnecting." with a symbol that it makes when it is syncing.
    I've tried putting it in disk mode, and it still will not detect it.
    Can somebody help me? I really don't want to be stuck with a broken iPod.
    If anyone needs or wants any more information before they can advise, please feel free to tell me what you need to know and I will post it!
    Thanks, and have a blessed day.

  • IPod Classic wont update OR restore

    Well, I've had my iPod Classic (80 gb) for about a year now. For a few months it's been trying to update but I haven't been able to because it keeps having an error while downloading it. So I just haven't been updating it since It wont let me. The other day my iPod kept skipping songs and doing crazy stuff so I plugged it in and it said the iPod was corrupt and I needed to restore it. So I tried that and it said update and restore. I keep trying to update it but it still won't update, therefor it wont restore. And thats the only option I have. Any suggestions or help?

    For a few months it's been trying to update but I haven't been able to because it keeps having an error while downloading it.
    What has that error message been saying, Bre?

  • TS1420 my itune music won't transfer to my ipod classic its been fully restored and the music still won't transfer over it locks up halfway in between the transfer

    can someone please help me with this. I got a fully restored iPod Classic I was able to transfer only 211 song that I purchased from iTunes on to my iPod I have successfully transfer music from my computer into iTunes but when I go to transfer that music to my ipod it starts to transfer and then it locks up on the computer..my iTunes is up to date and so is the iPod I have restarted my computer and resync several times I've dealt with this issue all day and I'm still struggling and not having no luck

    Leaving an iPod in a car is a bad idea, aside from the theft potential. The extremes of heat and cold that a car can face can damage the internal hard disk. Remember, an iPod classic is not like the newer devices: it is like your older desktop computer with a physically spinning hard disk, with reading heads floating microns above the disk. Heat and cold creates expansion and changes tolerances.
    I'd suggest bringing the iPod inside, and leaving it inside for at least 24 hours to let it come to temperature equilibrium. Try that first.
    Your response didn't address the other side of the equation: the iTunes you sync to. Have you updated iTunes recently or any other component? Install any drivers? Change the port where you plug in the iPod? Install any new security software, such as antivirus, that wasn't present when it was last able to synch?

  • IPod Classic got a combination and I can't open it, what should i do can you please help ???

  • IPod Classic won't sync, restore or register in iTunes

    I currently have my 160GB iPod classic plugged into my MacBook Air and it is giving me the "Do not disconnect" warning. If my predictions are correct I should about to be prompt with a notification via iTunes that my iPod needs to be restored. As I predicted, iTunes sends me this notification: "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes" is the prompt I'm given. I click restore and of course, it gives me an error prompt (1434). Only after all of this am I able to properly disconnect my iPod from my computer but the process repeats itself anyway because the iPod wasn't successfully restored nor was I allowed to enable disc use- which may be my issue.
    I've done the following suggestions as per iTunes and discussions.apple.com
    -restarted my computer
    -checked for iTunes update
    -tried a different USB plug in
    -computer>devices>ipod>uninstall
    I've heard that uninstalling iTunes once you've backed up your music is a good way to do it but I'm praying there is an easier and less time consuming way to deal with this issue. I've already spent three hours the first round and twelve plus the second round with this problem so I'm hoping there's an easy solution I just haven't tried. But I'll do what it takes to get my 160GB freedom back. Thanks!
    Sincerely a VERY frustrated Apple customer!
