New iPod Classic needs Vista, I have got Windows 2000. Any way round this?
I have just run over my iPod photo 60 GB with the lawn tractor and reduced it to tiny fragments!
Having purchased a replacement, in the form of a Classic 120 GB, I now find that it requires a later version of iTunes - which also requires a later version of Windows than the Windows 2000 Professional I currently have. I appreciate Windows 2000 is "old hat" but I know that all my other programs run OK with it and may well not run with a later operating system.
I have over 10,000 songs within my iTunes library which I am scared of losing.
Is there a way round this conundrum?

You won't be able to use this to do any future updates/restores on your iPod.

I was given an 80gb ipod classic formatted with mac os. Is there any way to connect it to my windows pc so I can transfer the song to my library? When I try to connect to my pc I get a message asking me if I want to format the drive. I want to try to save the 15000 songs that are already on the ipod. Any suggestions?
The iPod and iTunes are designed so that you cannot transfer music on an iPod to another iTunes Library. This is because the 15,000 songs do not belong to you and you have no legal right to keep them.

Took pictures on new ipod. Did restore - lost all current pictures. Any way to get the others back?
Had Christmas pictures of family and friends. I'll be so sad if I can't them back.You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore.
If you failed to do this, then they are very likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup -
I have a new ipod Classic 160GB. I already have an Itunes account. The Itunes account recognizes my device but will not sync my library to this new device.
What do I need to do?Hi Amy2250,
Have you tried to sync music to the iPod via the iPod subdirectory of iTunes? To do this, plug your iPod into your computer, go into iTunes, click on the iPod tab, click on 'Music' in the iPod subdirectory and select whether you want to sync your whole iTunes library or just selected songs and press sync.
Alternatively, have you tried manually transferring music onto the iPod using the 'drag and drop' method? To do that, go into iTunes with your iPod connected, click on the iPod tab, in the iTunes iPod Classic subdirectory click on the 'Summary' tab, then tick the box saying 'Manually manage music' and click save. Then, in the same subdirectory click on the 'On this iPod' tab and click on Music. Then, select the songs you want to transfer either in Finder or Windows Explorer, select the songs you want to copy to the iPod and drag them to the blank list in the 'On this iPod' area of iTunes you just opened.
Good luck,

iv just bought a new laptop, i am trying to sync my songs on my iphone to my itunes, but it says it can only be sync with 1 itunes, any way around this?
The iPhone like all iDevices is not a storage device, it is merely a mirror of the content in the library to which it is synced.
If you wish to sync to a new computer, the first step is to copy or move the iTunes media library from the old computer to the new computer. This can be done via the network or by using an external hard drive.
Once the library has been moved, simply sync to the new computer. -
I have been onto Apple by phone, and into the Apple store where both of them recomended that it gets replaced. I did, got a brand new ipod classic, and i still have the same problem.
I have attempted to restore, but it won't let me for the same reason.
On a couple of occations it starts to sync!! however it goes through practicly the whole syncing process (12,000 songs, heaps of videos) and then just freezes up! The little rainbow orb spins forever until i have to force quit.
I have had my old ipod and my partners ipod regestered and used on the one itunes with no complications whatsoever, our old ipods sync perfectly with no problems at all.
very frustrated.
Is it my Ipod Box?
Or is it Itunes?
or does it not like me having more than two ipods registered?
with the last new ipod which was replaced and the current new ipod that's a total of 4 ipods regestered on the one itunes
My partner has a Dell Laptop with Microsoft. I downloaded Itunes on there, ripped one cd, formatted the current new ipod, and it synced the one cd i ripped with no trouble at all.
Has anyone else had the same problem with their Ipod Classic?
MickIs iTunes up to date (10.7)? Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB or using a different USB cable?
I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread to check your Hard Drive's health. He always covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Manual transfer of music to new Ipod Classic
I want to select only some of the music library contained on our computer to download on a new ipod classic. We already have another ipod that is synched to that computer. How can I move only some music to the new ipod?
Connect it to your computer, select it in the Devices frame, on the Summary Tab tick the box saying "Manually Manage music" and click Apply.
Drag the songs from your library that you want to your iPod. -
I have a new ipod classic, do I need to download sd or hd videos from itunes?
I have a new ipod classic, not sure what which version but is brand new. Do I need to purchase sd or hd videos from itunes for my classic?
Hi Powell73,
Your iPod Classic will most likely work with Standard Definition (SD) video content. You may find the following articles helpful in that regards:

Does anyone have an idea how to transfer music stored in the cloud to a new iPod classic?
You must download it to your iTunes library first, before syncing the iPod classic.

I just got a new ipod classic 120 gb model. It does this thing where while the ipod is showing the usual album cover and the name of the song, the time remaining and so on. After about a minute and a half, the screen changes where it's only showing the time in big numbers and the battery indicator only instead of the usual screen. why is it doing this, and is there any way to get it to stop doing that and show the album art and the song like normal. The older ipods did not do this. I have not been able to find any information about this. Thanks.
You can turn it off under settings. Have the backlight stay permanently on, but this will run down your battery faster.

Need Help Getting New iPod Classic to work on system with existing iPods
I have an iPod shuffle (for workouts) and an iPod photo 60GB which I have had for some time. I have iTunes 8.
Got a new iPod Classic 120 GB for Father's Day - I cannot get it to work with iTunes yet. Plugged it in and nothing happened. iTunes just acted normal, no setup assistant, nothing. Going to reboot and see if it does the same thing, but in the meantime I am hoping someone here can advise.
Thanks in advance,
jfTurns out, of all things, it was the cable - seems the 'old' cable does not work with new iPods, but the newer cable that comes with Classics works with everything - cable was updated somehow, per Apple.
Thanks,

My new ipod touch 4g that i just got is running extremely slow and the apps crash alot. I have about 10gb left out of 16 gb. When i got it, it was brand new, and ran like how it is now. I was just wondering if this could be some sort of defect?
