My ipod classic keeps freezing my computer
everytime i plug it into my computer it freezes it, does anyone know what could be causing this?
So does my 160GB classic. iTunes won't recognise it either. Am at a loss to know what to do as I haven't been able to get any music on it or anything. All suggestions gratefully received.

IPod Classic keeps freezing...what do I do?
My iPod Classic keeps freezing. It still plays music, but then the screen freezes and won't let me command the device until the backlight switches off. I noticed it's got a bit worse since I bought 'Bush' iPod speakers to play my music out loud through my iPod. What do I do? It's getting annoying.
Hi Candyfornia,
I think you must restore your iPod (with iTunes) to solve your problem... -
My ipod classic keeps freezing when I plug it in, why?
I have an ipod classic that I bought off of Amazon about month ago. When I first plugged it into my computer to put songs on it, it worked fine, but now whenever I plug it into my laptop it freezes. I have to let it die everytime and this is becoming ridiculous. I even tried closing out all other open windows on my computer so that iTunes is the only thing that's open and it still freezes. I am severely ****** off and I feel like I've wasted $250 dollars. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
Hello Briannat1995,
It sounds like your iTunes application is becoming unresponsive when you plug your iPod Classic into your computer. I recommend trying the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My 7th generation 160 g iPod classic keeps freezing, I've only had it for 3 months?
This iPod was ordered brand new 3 months ago, however it keeps freezing and locking up when I try to scroll through menus or switch songs. I would really like this problem to be fixed. How do I go about this?
Try the Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted by tt2,

If you have high numbers on the first 5 items, better bring back to Apple Store for a replacement.
Good Luck! -
My new ipod classic keeps freezing
I got it for christmas and have been looking after it. The screen and buttons consistantly freezes at least once a week. I don't know what triggers it besides that it only happens when I'm doing something with it. So it dosn't happen when it's in my pocket. The screen dosn't shut off or dim. When I plug it into itunes my computer registers that a usb device was plugged in with a sound effect but itunes dosn't communicate with it. The only way I found to fix it is to wait until the battery drains and then charge it again. It's a classic 160 gig. I don't know why it would be broken because I've never dropped it or bumped it and because it's only a month old it's very dissapointing.

Why does my ipod classic keep freezing my itunes account
so i have had my ipod classic for a few years not and i love it. but lately i cannot plug it into itunes without it freezing my itunes all up. i have tried resetting it, ive re downloaded itunes and everything i try doesnt work. i dont know what to do. i really dont want to have to go buy a new one.
It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

If necessary, post the resultings numbers and we can verify what the next steps to take.

IPod classic 160GB freezing when plugged in
Hi,
My new iPod classic started freezing when plugge in after the night, for example - it needs a restore, then works fine. Any ideas?
Thank you for your helpYikes!, it may means it is the iPod Classic firmware 2.0.4, that is hanging up the USB Host controller, which freezes your whole Computer.
Could be a partially updated firmware 2.0.4, (so kind of corrupted)
Can you
1. Open in finder <yourname>/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
2. Remove the .ipsw and .ipsw.signature for the version you are wanting to drop, in this case, 2.0.4
3. Open iTunes and in Preferences uncheck automatic check for updates.
4. Connect iPod and select restore. It will ask you if you want to check for newer update. Select Yes. All files will be removed and it will have to resync the entire library but it worked.
PS: try and do this in Diskmode. -
Tried to restore my ipod classic on a windows computer... there was some sort of failure and it is now stuck in "disk mode." The ipod is no longer being recognized by itunes.
I am having the exact same problem. My ipod has been stuck in disk mode for over two hours and now itunes is frozen.

Install disk drive from old computer in an external enclosure.
Then copy the complete iTunes library from the disk drive to the disk drive in the new computer. -

Best iPod to PC -
My Ipod Classic appears in My Computer when I connected it to my new Windows 8 pc. When Itunes starts my Ipod is no longer appears in My Computer and is not shown under Devices in Itunes. It appears that Itunes disconnects my Ipod from the pc. My Ipod still sync's up fine with Itunes on my old Windows XP pc.

I wiped my ipod classic and then my computer crashed, so i no longer have the songs i purchsed from itunes on my ipod or computer! I have a new computer now with itunes installed, can I get the songs purchased previously from itunes somehow?
Yes, you can!(:
STEP 1: Open iTunes
STEP 2: Navigate to the "iTunes Store". It can be found under the "STORE" tab.
STEP 3: On the right side of the store there should be a "Quick Links" Section. Click on the "Purchased" link.
STEP 4: Navigate to the "Music" tab and click on "All Songs". Then at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says "Download All". Click the button and your songs will be begin downloading!
NOTE: This will only work with songs that you bought from the iTunes store, if you imported them from a CD, you will have to do it again.
NOTE: You can also do this with Apps, Movies, TV Shows, and Books.
NOTE: You may have to sign in with your Apple ID to verify the download.
Hope this helped! Enjoy your music!(:
