My iPod Classic turned into an iPod Generation 1!

I do NOT know how this happened. You may not belive it,a nd that's fine, but when I plugged my iPod Classic (or iPod 6th Generation) into my computer, the screen turned black and white, lost almost all of it's brightness, and changed the screen to the Generation 1 icon. And when I disconnected it, it never went away from the "OK to Disconnect" screen. The only way tofix it was to let it run out of batteries! How and why did this happen? Has this ever happened in the history of Apple? Did ANYONE know that the Gen 1 firmware was still buried in there?

OOps... Just tried to listen to some tracks and most of them will not play, yet they play and are listed in itunes,... How do I get these tracks onto my ipod?? Any help would be greatly appreciated !!

  • Connecting ipod classic to new iPad (4th generation)?

    Which adapter connects older ipod classic to new iPad (4th generation)?

    The "connection" for the iPod needs to go through iTunes on a computer.  You cannot connect your iPod directly to an iPad. 
    So (for example), if your intent is to transfer songs from iPad to iPod, you need to use the copy of the songs that are on the computer and use iTunes to sync them to the iPod.  If you can't do that because you bought the songs on the iPad from the iTunes Store, you can use the Purchased screen in iTunes (on the computer) to re-download them (at no cost) into your iTunes library.  The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, to the right, under QUICK LINKS.
    You can then sync those songs to the iPod.

    my daughters ipod generation 4  has frozen whilst attempting to download some apps , its showing the white apple sign and cannot be switched on or off ?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I have an iPhone 4s (jailbroken), then when i updated it, it turned into an ipod. How to fix this?

    If the jailbreak was to unlock the iPhone you will need to call AppleCare, give them the model and serial number of your iPhone and find out which cell carrier it is locked with. Then contact the cell carrier and see what their official unlock process is and if you qualify.

  • Audio/Voice Recorder for iPod [video] classic 160 GB Silver 6th Generation?

    Hi, I'm looking for a voice recorder for my iPod, but I'm not sure which ones are compatible with my version, and which one is best.
    i.e. Belkin TuneTalk, Griffin iTalk, etc. (I don't know which one is compatible, and then which one is best.)
    This is the iPod I have:
    Apple iPod classic 160 GB Silver (6th Generation)
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPod-classic-Silver-Generation/dp/B000JO7RVC
    I've been doing research on the matter, but due to conflicting reports, I am left in ultimate confusion.
    So I thought it would be best to ask the experts.
    Thanks!

    tunetalk & classic: No way.
    I am having endless trouble with Belikin Tunetalk stereo & IPOD classics.
    I've asked Belkin & Apple & had nothing useful.
    background: Been using Belkin tunetalk stereos (2) with 2 Ipod 5G (video) for more than a year. They work ok: [given the well know issues of harddrive noise picked up with internal microphones.]
    Two modes available: "low" 22050 MONO & "high" 44100 Stereo
    Had a ipod die on me, so upgraded to classics.
    Recorded away, got nothing but 44100 MONO. Not supposed to be able to do this mode. & since I was recording TWO channels, I lost data. Belkin site says for classics only with the lastest software".
    I've reflashed the ipods multiple times I one ipod records only mono (BLACK), the other (SILVER) records about 1 in 10 mono. Of course you can't tell till you're done whether you're going to get mono or stereo!
    As iDude80n said about asking experts? Any one know if I go buy TWO MORE ipods, eg nanos, will these things actually work? Will post as separate question.

    Please don't shout.
    Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?  Has it EVER been dropped?  Did it EVER get excessively wet?  Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
    If "No" to all the above, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • My ipod turns on shows the apple logo, then turn into a white screen until it dies.

    I was updating my ipod and it was almost complete, it restarted and the loading bar under the logo stopped. Then the ipod restarted again and now when it turns on it shows the apple logo, then turns into a white screen until it dies. After I charge it again it does the same thing automatically. Ive tried to restart and restore it but it wont work. What do I do? I've tried all the troubleshooting and nothing is helping.  The screen is also cracked, this wasnt the cause because it worked fine for 3 months after it was cracked.

    See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore.

    If not successful that indicates a hardware problem. It could be that the damage started with the drop that also caused the cracked screen and the damage progress to the problem you have now. An example would a cracked that has finally progressed to it causing the problem.

  • Ipod generation 1, updated ipod software version 5.1.1 and now my ipod is dead..

    I have an ipod generation 1 since 2005 and it works perfectly till yesterday when i receive a prompt from iTunes store (after my last login 6 months ago) reminder/alert to update my ipod software version to 5.1.1 in which i did and just after i updated the software my ipod went dead..
    The message appeared "Please Wait..Very low battery.." However, when i plug it into adapter charger i'll see the normal screen, but the message appear when i use the cable to connect to my lappie....Urgent help! Thanks.

    You need to continue with the Recovery...
    Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... After the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • HT203681 Volume limit comes on with Bluetooth earphones on iPod generation 7 and won't go off

    WWhen I connect Bluetooth earphones to iPod generation 7 the volume limit comes on automatically and won't go off

    Hi craig9798,
    If you would like to change or turn off the Volume Limit on your iPod nano 7th Gen, you may find the following section from the User Guide helpful (pg. 25, PDF):
    Set the maximum volume limit for iPod nano:
    1  On the Home screen, tap Settings > Music > Volume Limit. The volume control shows the maximum volume limit.
    2  Drag the slider left to lower the maximum volume limit, or right to raise the limit.
    Note: In some countries, you can limit the maximum headset volume to the EU recommended
    level. Tap Settings > Music, then tap the switch in the EU Volume Limit section to turn it on.
    Require a passcode to change the volume limit:
    1  After setting the maximum volume, tap Lock Volume Limit.
    2  In the screen that appears, tap a four-digit passcode.
    If you tap a number by mistake, tap , then tap the number you intended.
    You can keep tapping to erase all numbers and return to the Volume Limit screen without setting a passcode.
    3  When you’re prompted to reenter the passcode, tap the numbers again.
    Remove the volume limit:
    1  On the Home screen, tap Settings > Music > Volume Limit.
    2  Drag the slider all the way to the right.
    If you set a passcode, tap Unlock Volume Limit first, enter your passcode, then drag the slider. If you forget the passcode, you can restore iPod nano. See Updating and restoring iPod
    software on page 59.

    Are there any games you can download on your ipod generation 2?? Every app I go into says its not able to download due to upgrade.

    I don't think there is one all of the developers moved to the iPods 4&5. I think it may be time for an upgrade.

    Hey erinoneill24,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
    iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1441?viewlocale=it_it
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
    If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    Have a nice day,

  • I want to sync music from my PowerBook G4 to my Ipod Generation 7 but it says i need to update the Powerbook but the Powerbook says there is no updates plus i need to update Itunes but its not working.

    I want to Sync music from my PowerBook 4 to my Ipod generation 7 but it says I need to update Itunes to 10.7 but when it finishes updating and i go back to itunes nothing has changed and Itunes is not updated.

    In order to install iTunes 10.7 or later you need OSX 10.6.8 or later. A PowerBook can install up to OSX 10.5.8
    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but any new iPod won't sync with iTunes on Mac not using an Intel processor.

  • Ipod generation?

    How do you know what ipod generation you have

    Ya, 30GB iPods are hard drive models. I think the magnets used for the latched of most iPod cases are likely too weak to do any harm. However if you want to be perfectly safe, then you could avoid those type of cases if you wished.
