New iPod classic software?

Does anyone know for sure when Apple will release a new software version for the iPod classic?
THANKS!

Apple has not announced anything (and rarely does announce anything in advance).

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

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

New iPod Classic 2.0.2 and iTunes 8.2.1 (6)

Just bought a new iPod Classic 160 GB with the 2.0.2 firmware (or software?).
I'm using iTunes 8.2.1 (6) after reverting back from iTunes 9 because I couldn't sync my mp3 player with iTunes 9 - they were incompatible.
When I attach my new iPod to my G5, I get this message:
+"The iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 9.0 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."+
But I don't want to use iTunes 9 because I won't be able to use my other mp3 player.
Question:
Is there any possible way to use my new iPod with iTunes 8? Is there a work-around?
Thanks for your help!

Yeah. I found that out experimenting a bit. Thanks.
How about this: Can I format the new iPod and install an old software version that's compatible with iTunes 8?
I read somewhere that I could format the iPod using Disk Utility, then restore it. The tutorial stated to upgrade iTunes first, but what if I didn't? What if I restored the formatted iPod with iTunes 8?
Would that work?

New iPod Classic jumps to next track after a few seconds of certain songs

I have several tracks that will not play on my new iPod Classic (80 gig) for more than a few seconds. After a few seconds, the iPod jumps to the next track. I have played the same songs on my last generation iPod with no problem and in Itunes and Windows Media player with no problem. There is clearly an issue with the new iPod hardware/software. Anyone else having this issue and found a fix.
I have already done a complete reinstall of the new iTunes and restored my iPod to factory settings and installed the latest iPod software.

Actually - I just noticed your solution to the issue. I tried PT's solution, which I mention above and it didn't work. I haven't tried your solution - however, I have considered it. Here's the problem with it though. The first problem is having to sift through 5400+ songs on my ipod to know which ones are having the issue and which ones need to be burned. The second issues is that the songs are compressed mp3's. Converting the compressed mp3's into a cd and reimporting it back into mp3 further degrades the file - you're essentially making an mp3 from an mp3. It actually makes no sense to do this unless you've purchased your music from an online store and therefore don't have the original cd's. Since all of my music is from my cd collection, it would be simpler to re-import the songs from the cds. But, it's really the first issue I mentioned that is the kicker - I don't want to go through my entire music collection to find out which ones are having the problem. The problem isn't the tracks as far as I am concerned - I still have my previous generation iPod and the same tracks play fine. The same tracks play fine in iTunes and Windows Media Player. The problem is the new iPod. If Apple can't resolve the issue through an iPod/iTunes update in the next week or so, I'll just return the iPod and stick with my old one.

Using iPod Camera Connector on the new iPod Classic

Hi, I have successfully used the iPod Camera Connector on my old Classic iPod to back up my camera. Would like to move with the times and buy the new iPod Classic but don't want to loose the ability to back up - will the camera connector work with the new Classic please? (and has anybody done it?)

Why can't this work with the classic?
another thread states "as the iPod touch doesn't support "disk use" (it doesn't mount as a hard drive on your computer)."
Well, my classic does support disk use so I would like the option to use this. Is it really that hard to have a software update to recognise a piece of software that has presumably been programmed before for previous models

HT1386 I have a brand new Ipod classic (Christmas 2012-13), a newish laptop (2012) and have downloaded the latest version of iTunes. However, despite the ipod being recognised by the laptop/iTines, telling me it is synchronising, it actually won't synch.

However, despite iTunes working fine on the laptop, the ipod being recognised by the laptop/iTunes, telling me it is synchronising, it actually won't synch. I have reset the ipod, tried different USB ports, restarted the laptop, and uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes, but still not working. Can anybody help ?

Well, I don't know if that's a software or hardware problem. You should take it to Apple Genius Bar or send it to service center. And one more thing, Its not synch...... Its Sync... Just saying... It would help if you send pictures of the problem. Such as the screen of iTunes saying it's syncing. It will help everyone and me...

How can I get films purchased from the iTunes store to work on my new iPod classic?

I have recently purchased a new iPod classic, everything works accept it will not play films. At first I thought it was a problem with the films I was trying to put on as they were from my computer; but after purchasing some films from iTunes it still keeps saying that they cannot be played on this device. Please help as I have spent money on films I otherwise cannot watch.
Any advice is welcome.

Hey Shelly29,
It sounds like you might be trying to sync HD videos to your iPod classic.
HD videos purchased from the iTunes Store are compatible with iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), Apple TV, and computers. You may need to download your purchased video from iTunes in the Cloud in a lower resolution for your device.
You'll want to check out the following article to resolve the issue, specifically the "Download previously purchased content in a lower resolution" section:
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device

Just got a new iPod Classic and can only sync 536 songs of the almost 8,000 that I have stored in the cloud. How can I download all my music to the new iPod Classic?

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.

HELP! New iPod Classic 80GB Recognized By Computer, Not iTunes

I have a brand new ipod classic, and it refuses to be recognized by itunes so i can install it. The "install new hardware" wizard pops up instead and it thinks it is a USB Mass Storage Device. I've tried everything on the apple support page.
PS I am aware that this sort of question probably has been answered before. I am new to this board haven't found the information i need. thanks for the help!

Hi,
I'd been really frustrated with ITunes not recognizing my IPod after failed attempts at using the "5Rs" to resove the issue. I just wanted you guys to know that I found a resolution posted under http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1372 and after following the instructions, I "forced" ITunes to recognize the Pod and it is right now, as we speak, syncing my entire library back to the IPod! THANK YOU to whomever posted this solution! I was so lost without my IPod and was about to go on a trip without it! Whew! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Itunes won't sync to my brand new ipod classic. It says "The Ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found.

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?
Mick

Is 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.

New ipod classic won't sync with itunes on windows 8

I transferred my itunes library (via an external hard drive) from laptop windows xp to new laptop windows 8. I am now unable to sync my new ipod classic 160gb. I have also tried my old ipod classic 80gb but it won't sync either.

Windows XP sp3 + iTunes 8 + New iPod Classic 120GB = Blue Screen Of Death

HELP
My PC has just upgraded itself with Windows XP Service Pack 3, I have downloaded iTunes 8, and just today bought a new iPod Classic 120GB so I could enjoy the new Genius facility (my old iPod was a 20GB model from 2005). However I keep getting the Blue Screen Of Death whenever I plug in the new iPod, even if I start-up the computer with the iPod connected.
I've read other threads about this topic, but I've only seen people reporting this issue with Vista, not XP.
- I'm thinking of uninstalling and re-downloading iTunes 8. Will it retain all playlists, album artwork etc.?
- I'm also thinking of trying to connect with the iPod manually set to disk mode. Will this help to begin with?
Anyone got a fix for this problem yet....Apple?

As a follow-up to my questions above, I've now tried uninstalling and then re-installing iTunes 8 direct from the Download link at Apple.com. I still get the BSOD. I also tried with the new iPod 120GB manually set to disk mode. Again, still I get the BSOD. I also unplugged a couple of other USB peripherals from my PC (writing tablet, card reader), checked for any more Windows XP Updates, but still get the BSOD.
Anyone got any more ideas?

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
