My new iPod Classic doesn't 'wake' when my docking station switches on (alarm setting)

My new iPod Classic doesn't 'wake' when my docking station switches on (alarm setting).
My old iPod Classic never ever let me down, and I used it in the docking station every working day for two years.
But this new iPod Classic has let me down three times just this week!
Any clues?

While the iPod is connected to your iTunes, look (in iTunes) on the Device/Podcasts pane (tab) and make sure the Sync Podcasts option has been selected (there should be a tick in the box).

Are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

I have an iPod Touch 2 with iOS 4.2.1. This is the highest version that works on this device. I checked it once and it had to do with iOS 4.3 and above only supporting the higher RAM CPUs on newer devices.
Apple does make it harder than it needs to be. There still remain a number of apps available on iTunes that will work but they are hard to find because you must manually look at each app specs to see if the app supports an iOS below 4.3
App backups are your friend since iTunes has no way to keep older version of apps.

New computer, new iPod Classic - doesn't sync my purchased tunes

In a perfect storm of technical catastrphies, my desktop PC went belly up, followed by my iPod. When I bought a new PC, the dealer transfered all My Documents, including Music to the new PC. 2 weeks later, my old iPod likewise demised but my wife bought me a new iPod Classic for my birthday. It was easy to sync my iTunes library to the new iPod except I have notice that many tunes are not being synced to iPod. Looks like none of my purchased tunes are being transferred and I get a message informing me something to the effect that this PC wasn't liked to this iPod or somesuch.
Any body know how to get around this?

Hey there,
Before you can transfer of play any songs from iTunes you have authorize your computer first. To do this just head to +Store->Authorize Computer+ and see if that does anything for you. Hope this helps.

New ipod classic doesn't play on my BOSE Soundock

Just got my new ipod classic, but when i connect to my boase soundock, though the ipod says track is playing no sound comes out

- Does the manufacturer say it will work with the 4G iPod and iOS on the iPod?
- Did yo reset the dock
-Sometimes this works
Try:
- 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 all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

New iPod Classic doesn't show podcasts?

I've just received a brand new iPod classic and have synced it with my Mac's iTunes. When I look on the iPod through iTunes it seems to show that all my podcasts have been transferred, but when I disconnect and try to listen to a podcast I can't find them - when I click on the podcasts menu option it tells me there are no podcasts... but they're not under the music/artist menu or anything like that either.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?

While the iPod is connected to your iTunes, look (in iTunes) on the Device/Podcasts pane (tab) and make sure the Sync Podcasts option has been selected (there should be a tick in the box).

ITunes 10.6.1 (7) freezes when syncing brand new iPod Classic

In my attempts to sync a brand new iPod Classic (160 GB) with iTunes I only get a freeze up of iTunes, where only a force quit helps to terminate the hang. I have of course done all the usual, i.e. restored the entire iPod Classic, restarted my Mac, made sure all software is the latest software. All to no avail.

Syncing a 160GB iPod Classic, may take a long time, so better to stop all other process or apps, when you do it.
Especially, disconnect all other USB devices and connect the iPod directly to the body of the Mac and not to the Keyboard USB port or any USB hub.
I think you have done all other suggestions, that I can think of.
Except doing a Disk Diagnostic on this new iPod, and send it back to Apple if the DD report is bad, refer to this earlier post by tt2

Having trouble syncing music videos and playlists to my new iPod classic, already have an iTunes account, have an iPod nano, what am i doing wrong?

You may want to check ur settings. when you plug in ur ipod make sure it is highlighted then at the top of the page you will see tabs Summary Music Podcast Info....click on the MUSIC tab...in that box there will be 2 options:
Sync Music
Entire Music Library
Selected playlist, artist, albums, and genres
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CHECKED OFF ENTIRE MUSIC LIBRARY
I hope this works....Let me know

Ipod classic doesn't free memory even if I delete music so I cannot download any new content

ipod classic doesn't free memory even if I delete music so I cannot download any new content

When you connect the iPod to iTunes, in the summary page, what do you see in the Capacity bar?
How much is used for Audio, Others, video?
Most likely you have high usage of others, which maybe caused by incomplete sync Operation and the iPod need to be Restored.

Brand new iPod classic 160 gb won't show up in iTunes devices

Brand new iPod classic 160 gb won't show up in iTunes devices. The iPod is fully charged, iTunes reckonises my iPod touch, iPad, iPhone 3G and iPhone 4, but not the iPod classic, although it says the iPod is connected it doesn't register in iTunes.

I purchased a new iPod Classic 160 GB in August 2013 and it (the iPod Classic device) would not show in iTunes though it did show in the Apple Finder. I tried EVERYTHING numerous times including resetting the iPod, updating iTunes and trying everything in the book and in on-line tips. Nothing worked and I was about to give up when I tried using the Apple iPod Classic cable that actually came in the iPod Classic box. It worked!!! Conclusion? Dont just use any old Apple cable eg. from a iPhone or whatever; TRY the USB cable that came with your iPod Classic!!! I have 2009 iMac with the latest Mac OS BTW.

New iPod Classic 160 GB not read by MacBook

My new iPod Classic 160 GB is not read by my MacBook. It doesn't show up in Finder or in iTunes. What can I do so my computer recognizes it?

Swap to another USB 2.0 port and dont use any USB HUB. (only one of the Macbook USB port can be use for iPod Classic)
If that doesn't work, use another USB cable.
When you connect to the Macbook USB port, the iPod screen should show this symbol.
Battery charging (lightning bolt
or
If you get just the menu screen, it means there is no signal or power coming across the cable from the Macbook to the iPod.

My ipod sounds as if it has interference when on docking station.....3 other apple devices work with no such problem...i.e nano ,classic and 2x separate iphones, with no problems .I have been given a 2nd ipod touch replacement, it plays with interference

ipod problems
My ipod sounds as if it has interference when on docking station....3 other apple devices work with no such problems, i.e a nano. a classic and 2 separate iphones so the problem doesn't seem to be the docking station...I have been given 2 reolacement ipods and the sound persists....it is obviously the connection.....as before downloading any data on the new ipod I docked it and the noise was present ....mairiskye....

- Is it a 4G iPod? That model sometimes mates poorly with dock because the configuration of the iPod by the dock connector is different that other devices. Thus, make sure it is fulld/seated in the dock.
- Have you brought the iPod and dock to the Genius at the an Apple store.

Can't reset new ipod classic

I've just bought a brand new ipod classic 160Gb and managed to get it to sync with iTunes and download all my music. However after I disconnected it from my pc the Apple logo screen appeared. I then tried to reset it by pressing the centre button and menu as I've done many times before with my old ipod classic 80Gb. All this does is get the Apple logo to reappear but it never gets to a point where the start menu appears.
I've used this reference to put the ipod into disk mode http://http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363 and then was able to access the hard disk in Windows and see that there were files on the ipod. I left it attached to the pc until it was fully charged. Afterwards when I managed to exit disk mode the problem hadn't been solved.
Is there anything I could do in disk mode to resolve what is going wrong? The article above doesn't say anything about what you do once you are in disk mode.

Hey basilfaulty,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Looks like the iPod does not start up past the Apple logo. This article explains what you can do after you have tried Disk Mode.
iPod only shows an Apple logo and doesn't start up

Help Please - New iPod Classic will not sync with existing iTunes library

Please help, I have researched every forum I can find and all the suggested tips have not worked for me. Here is my problem.....
I have a new laptop and a new iPod classic. I have checked and both have the most up to date software. I have logged into iTunes and all the music and films I had purchased previously is showing.
I thought I simply had to log into iTunes,authorise the laptop, plug in my Ipod and then sync the music and films from iTunes onto my iPod.
When I do the there is a message within seconds to say the iPod sync is completed but the iPod remains empty. I can't figure out where I have gone wrong.
All suggestions gratefully received

Problem solved. It seems that iTunes archived my music to iCloud so once I downloaded all the files again they sync'd rght away

Brand new ipod classic won't sync to itunes 11.

I just got a brand new 160gb ipod classic for Christmas, and when I tried to sync it with itunes it wouldn't work. I ran the diagnostics and it failed the sync tests, and apple's help/troubleshooting page does not give any solutions to this problem. I have the latest version of iTunes and my computer is a Windows XP. What do I have to do so I can sync my ipod?

I posted as other have that there is something wrong in iTunes going on with the syncing of these classics. First my wifes stopped being recognized in the diagnostics. It says there is no phone, ipod or ipad attached, but iTunes shows its attached. then I called my daught up and had her check her iTunes version and she is also at the latest version online. I asked her how long has it been since she knows she has synced her music...she said a week or so.
I asked her to download any podcast or free music and try to sync. Her Classic 160 did the exact same thing 200 miles apart. Both iPods previously worked with no problems for years. Now neither is detecable in the iTunes diagnostocs. I unloaded and reinstalled a clean iTunes on my wifes win 7 x64 laptop that she has used since the ipod was new (years). No good.
I know Apple is going to find a problem either with the mobile service or something else that is going to be the cause of this syncing or not syncing issue.

New iPod Classic not recognised by Windows 8.1 or latest iTunes

I have a brand new iPod classic and have just made several playlists on iTunes.
As a sidenote, I am due to have a baby in one week and bought the iPod just for the hospital stay so I am getting extremely frustrated!
My computer is running Windows 8.1and recognises my iPhone and iPad Air but will not connect the iPod Classic.
When plugged in, it makes that little musical sound to say an item has been connected then nothing.
It does not register in 'My Computer' or on iTunes.
The iPod says "Connected. Eject before disconnecting". I don't get the iPod sad face or the exclamatuion mark.
I have reinstalled iTunes, the one time it registered the iPod was when I plugged in the iPad Air (iPod was no longer plugged in) and wanted me to restore the iPod, which it was still attempting to do 7 hours later (I did plug the iPod back in for this)!
Any suggestions would be super as I have now spent about 5 hours more on this than I would have liked to and about 10 hours more on this than I should have.
Thanks
