  • My Ipod Classic will not sync to my itunes or even get recognized by the computer.

    I have put it on my IHome and it recognizes it there. I do have a PC. I am not sure if it is the USB ports or the Ipod.

    Have you carefully worked through each and every suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • I ipod classic 80 gb when I am connected pc connected after that is hanged just showing connected its not working any button

    I ipod classic 80 gb when I am connected pc connected after that is hanged just showing connected its not working any button .

    Try connecting it to another PC, if it is ok, then your PC has some software conflict with iTunes.
    If it hangs other PC also, then your iPod Hardisk, maybe bad.
    Do the disk diagnosticas posted earlier by tt2, to check the health of your Hardisk.
    Have a nice day!

  • Can I use an iPod classic with a Bose wireless speaker. Will it be recognized by the bluettooth?

    "It" being the iPod Classic I assume.
    The iPod Classic does not have Bluetooth.
    If the Bose wireless function is Bluetooth, then you could by a Bluetooth transmitter, designed for the Apple 30-pin dock connector. That takes the output from the iPod and sends it via Bluetooth. Power for the transmitter is taken from the iPod.

  • I have a ipod classic 5th gerneration. Is there any way I can get a new battery for it? Or does Apple only get new batteries for the 7th generations? Thanks

    Yes you can still purchase replacement batteries your iPod from third party repair companies.  Apple does not offer replacement parts.
    Do a Google search for iPod battery replacement and you should get a plethora of results.  There are many good deals on Amazon and eBay.

    Make sure your machine meets the minimum system requirements:

    Although it says 2 GB RAM is the minimum, it's generally recommended to have at least 4 GB unless you only use your machine for "light" use (no movie editing/burning, etc).

  • [Work around] iPod Classic automatically disconnects when open itunes (PC Windows Vista)

    I have a:
    iPod Classic 120GB
    HP Pavilion Laptop
    iTunes 10 (latest)
    Windows Vista OS (32-bit)
    THE PROBLEM
    I connect my iPod to my laptop with a working usb cable. The computer recognises the iPod as is shows up as a drive in "My Computer". But as soon as I open iTunes program, iTunes recognises the iPod for a few seconds, then automatically disconnects from the program and the computer.
    Only after updating my iTunes to 10 have I encountered this problem.
    I have tried all the suggestions on the apple forums and others to no avail.
    THE WORK-AROUND
    Calling this a work around simply because it is definately not a solution. and developers should really get off their backsides and fix this bug.concerning the problem of iPods (particular the older models) automatically disconnecting.
    When connecting the iPod to the computer (NOT IN ITUNES), open the iPod drive through "My Computer", keep that window open as a folder, then proceed to run iTunes. This should allow you to use iPod through iTunes as normal.
    NOTE: this is not a superfix and may not work for everyone, but it won't hurt to try. for more drastic but permanant solution, switching to 3rd party software might be for you. I have tried Songbird and had no problems link: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/29716/heres-five-alternatives-to-itunes-10-for-ea sily-managing-your-ipod/
    Hope this helps. Peace

    I'll give this a shot, thank you for posting. I don't want to say I'm glad it's a bug but it's better then two brand new ipods in 10 days being crap.

  • MY IPOD CLASSIC NEEDS HELP!

    Hi,
    My ipod classic 160GB has a problem. A serious one. It was fine until I tried plugging it into the laptop via usb. Windows suggested I reformat it, but i cancelled that. Upon ejecting my ipod to try reconnecting it to the laptop again, the ipod launched into a reset screen infinite loop where it keeps resetting over and over again. Now I tried reformatting it by entering disk mode and then connecting it into the computer. However, windows was unable to reformat the ipod as it could not access the disk drive. When I open 'computer' on my laptop, the ipod is detected as a removable disk. However when i attempt to open it, windows tells me "Please insert disk into removable disk." I have no idea how to solve this problem. Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • IPod Classic: Need auto aux cable recommendation

    My apologies as I realize this issue has been brought up on support boards in the past.  I could not however find a recent discussion on the topic.
    I have only recently been provided with the opportunity to plug my iPod Classic directly into my car stereo, via auxillary or USB.  I immediately noticed that one cannot access the menu of the iPod once it's been plugged into either of these outlets, forcing one to rely on the car's audio menu, which is cumbersome to say the least.  In the past I used a device that connected via the 12V cigarette lighter, which still allowed for iPod menu accessibility during iPod functioning.
    Is there a USB or auxillary cable available on the market today that will (1) charge the iPod and (2) maintain iPod menu accessibility?
    Thank you for your recommendations!

    Hello Brutl6,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod classic.  You have gone through some really good steps to isolate the issue. I recommend continuing with the steps in the following article to further isolate and troubleshoot the issue of no audio when connected to headphone or speakers:

  • How can I use my iPod Classic (6th Gen) as a voiice recorder?, How can I use my iPod Classic (6th Gen) as a voice recorder?

    I just bought an iPod Classic, and in the shop, the demo model had a "Voice Recorder" option on the menu, and I read somewhere that my ipod could be used as a voice recorder, and I was just wondering how to do this? Do I need a microphone??

    Yes, you'll need to purchase a microphone for it.  Just do a simple Google search for iPod Classic microphone, and should get a number of good hits.  Here is one such product that would work.
