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).

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?

New iPod nano doesn't show on iTunes and I'm tired of it.

Since Feb. 24, I've tried and tried to put music on my new iPod nano with no success, and I am extremely sick of it. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I know for some reason the ipod service doesn't show up and now I cannot connect my older iPod to iTunes. When i try to repair it, it says the service can't be stopped. My mom spent $200 on this iPod and I'm getting in trouble for not being able to put music on it. I've spent hours uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and trying to stop the stupid service and I cannot take it anymore. I've always had issues with iTunes and put up with it but this is ridiculous. The ipod shows on the computer but obviously doesn't work on iTunes. Can anyone please help?

I tried to stop the ipod service so I could plug the iPod and then restart it but it said error: the ipod service could not be stopped on the local computer. Error 1053: it said something about control and the service not being stopped in a timely fashion.

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.

My ipod classic doesn't show up on windows or itunes, i have restored it quite a few times, it doesn't seen to make any difference

my ipod classic (new to me- ebay) does not show up on windows or in itunes, i've gone thru troubleshooting, can't really tell if i've successfully restored it or not, and can't seen to add it to my device mgr. I have tried rebooting computer, any ideas would be great

Hello bithedz,
Have you had a chance to look at this Apple support document related to your issue? If not, it would be a good place to start.
[iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410]
And if no luck there, try manually forcing your iPod into *Disk Mode* using the instructions provided in this Apple support document with your iPod connected to your Mac. This should help your iPod mount as an external drive at least on your system so that you can view it from a Finder window and perform a reformat on it if desired.
[Putting iPod into Disk Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363]
And if you are able to finally get your iPod recognized by iTunes, I would definitely recommend performing a restore of it there.

New iPod Classic keeps running through podcasts

My old iPod classic recently died and I bought a new class (120g). I'm all synched, but there's a problem when playing podcasts: The new iPod plays through all episodes of a podcast without stopping.
My old iPod would stop playing at the end of a episode.
For both iPods, shuffle is "off" and repeat is "off".
How do I get my new iPod to naturally stop at the end of a podcast episode??
Thanks!

It may be related to the data "caching" used by iPods with a hard drive for storage. This caching (pre-loading upcoming song data into memory) allows the iPod to play continuously, even if movement and vibration cause access to the iPod's hard drive to NOT be continuous. However, if the iPod is stationary on a desk, this should not happen.
If you have not already, Reset (restart) the iPod

If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the iPod using iTunes. The cause may be data corruption on the iPod's storage. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. After the Restore, sync your songs as before, and see of this problem still recurs.
It's also possible that the iPod's hard drive is faulty, and that is why the iPod is having problems accessing the song data (which causes these pauses). If the Restore does not resolve this problem, you should have it looked at under warranty. If there is a conveniently located Apple Store, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar. OR, if possible, return it for a full refund and get another one.

IPod classic doesn't show up in iTunes.

Dear All: Having problems with my iPod. I tried all of the iTunes diagnostics recommended. Have executed soft resets..but not a complete restore. Any ideas or other steps to follow?
thanks,

Have you tried Resetting your iPod while it's connected to the Mac? That usually works for me when it fails to show up first time. Toggle the hold switch off and on a few times then hold down the MENU and SELECT (centre) buttons for five or ten seconds until you see the Apple logo appear. Give it a few more moments to appear in iTunes: How to reset an iPod

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.

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.

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.

Will charger that comes with iPhone 3GS charge my new iPod classic 160?

I have an iPhone 3GS; which comes with a charger. I recently purchased a new iPod classic 160; which doesn't come with a charger.
Will the iPhone charger charge my iPod without damaging it?
It appears to work (shows it's charging), but I want to make sure they're compatible.
Thanks.

Yes, I have the same question- the old classic came with the charger (the rectangular white one). We travel alot and don't take our laptops with us so we need to charge ipods with chargers. So we can still use the one that works with our old classic or the new one, right?

HT1386 how do I sync manually, with new update it doesn't show option?

How do I sync manually, with new update it doesn't show the option?

For iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync you device>Setup syncing
Sync your device manually
If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.)
You can manually sync music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and iTunes U lessons. You can’t manually sync photos and info (contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and so on).
Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
Click the Summary button and select “Manually manage music and videos” (below Options).
Click the On This Device button.
Click Add To on the right side of the iTunes window.
Drag items from the left side of the iTunes window to the pane on the right. To add other types of content, choose a category from the Library pop-up menu.
Click Done.
If you use automatic syncing, you can also add items to your device by dragging. To drag items to an automatically synced device, follow the instructions above, but skip step 2.

IPod classic - sort order of podcasts

I have a new iPod Classic 160 GB. Love it so far, but it has one annoying thing. In iTunes, I have my podcasts sorted from oldest to newest. There are some podcasts, like news and training podcasts that need to be listened from oldest to newest or the content gets confusing when listening out of order. When I sync podcasts to my iPod, it refuses to sort from oldest to newest (even though when I look at the sort order of my iPod in iTunes it does show the order correct, just not on the actual iPod). So when I start a podcast, it automatically plays going from newest to oldest, which is not what I want. Any way I can change that?

This drives me crazy as well. I hope they fix this in a firmware update.
