Please Help Me..!! Ipod Classic 120gb

Hello Friends Please Help Me...
I Just Bought an IPod Classic 120gb In Second hand. While Buy The Condition Was Good. Once I Connect In My Laptop It Ask Me  To Restore. I Restored Successfully Then I Load Some Songs But It Showing In Others Not In My Music (It Shows No music). Another Problem Is Many Times Its Reset Automatically .

I am sorry to hear that your experience has been so bad with your iPod. As I said, there are some annoyances - some people may be more bothered by them than others. And of course, losing ones music (more than once) is a major deal.
One note concerning one of your complaints - the low volume. Since you mentioned you paid Euros, I would have to guess that it was purchased in the EU. Apple was sued over the maximum volume several years ago by the French government which ultimately resulted in the EU regulating maximum volume in all MP3 players. Units purchased in the US do not suffer from this issue (as my ringing ears can attest to on more than one occasion). And I actually reduce the gain on all of my albums to reduce the distortion that current record producers introduce into the music with over-compression.
The one issue I wholeheartedly agree with you on is the pausing. Though to me it is nothing more than an annoyance (and it happens only rarely), I can see how it would REALLY bother someone. As far as other players are concerned, I've had issues with those as well - a SanDisk device that suddenly decided to show duplicates of all of my songs. Of course, the SanDisk did not cost nearly as much as my iPod.
Are iPods either the best or the worst of the MP3 players on the market. I can't say as I have not done the research. I agree though, that there is plenty of room for improvement.

  • Please help?  ipod classic doesn't show up in itunes or the finder.

    I can't sync my ipod classic to itunes on my macbook.  I have the updated version of itunes and tried the trouble shooting steps apple suggests, but problem is not resolved.  My ipod doesn't show in itunes or the finder so I can't do anything.  Please help with suggestions??

    Have you tried using a different cable?  Does it connect to any other computers and/or iTunes libraries?
    Is it powered on when you connect it?

  • IPod Classic 120GB cannot sync, "Required disk not found"

    Somebody, please help! iPod Classic 120GB charcoal, current OS as of about a week ago (won't stay synced long enough for me to see what it is), iMac 24" 10.6.4, iTunes 10.0.1. Let me know if you need any more info and I'll try to provide it.
    Everything was absolutely fine until I updated to the newest version of iTunes. Now, when I plug in my iPod, it says it's connecting then jumps straight to the "Okay to disconnect" screen. It never shows up in iTunes at all. After doing this repeatedly, I unplugged it then immediately plugged it in again before it had finished the progress bar on the "Okay to disconnect" screen, and it finally showed up in iTunes, but it gave me an error of "iPod was not properly disconnected" then "cannot sync - required disk not found" and disconnected itself again.
    I tried resetting it (menu+center buttons) while it was plugged in, and this did nothing. iTunes still didn't recognize it at all.
    About a week ago, I followed some instructions somewhere and toggled the "enable disk use" option (I usually keep it unchecked) then was able to restore it. The songs were added back in a bizarre order (not alphabetical, not chronological, songs within an album added out of order, jumping from artist to artist, etc.) and I had to sync it again for three random albums that it missed the first time, but once everything was in again it was fine. I haven't added any new songs or playlists to my iTunes library since then (just changed a few ratings and I like to keep track of play counts), but when I tried to sync it again this morning, I got exactly the same errors.
    The only difference this time is that it alerted me that one song in my library (a song I happen to like very much) could not be synced. The song still shows up on my iPod, but will not play. It still appears and plays in iTunes on the computer.
    The iPod works perfectly in day-to-day use and is a little over a year old. I take very good care of it (my previous iPod is four or five years old and still works fine) and it has never had any problems before this. It has almost 100GB worth of music (no other media, just music), which makes it pretty annoying to have to restore it more than absolutely necessary. What is going on here and is there some way to fix it that will last longer than a week?

    Hi, yeah I'm experiencing the same issue as everyone else with a 120gb iPod classic using iTunes 10.1.1 (4). Started about the time of OSX 10.6.5 update and hasn't been resolved with the OSX 10.6.6 update.
    iPod attempts to Sync but now quits without even appearing on the computer let alone iTunes.
    I have ESET security but quitting the app doesn't help.
    I also have an iPhone 3Gs and that's still syncing fine (thank heavens), via a different library.
    I've since managed to wipe the iPod clean (back to factory settings) as forced to do so by following the instructions in another post to remove the iPod Photo Cache. I then moved my iTunes folder to another directory for safe keeping.
    I set up a clean iTunes database thinking my old one might have been corrupted. To do this you open iTunes from scratch while holding down the option key and select "Create Library". iTunes then remembers the last library created whenever you open the app.
    When I am able to see the iPod summary screen (a rare occurrence now) I see that "enable disk use" is checked ok - this has been noted as a problem in previous forums. So that's not the issue.
    Actually the iPod doesn't even stay connected to my 2010 unibody MacBook Pro when the iPod is switched over to disc mode. It immediately goes into "OK to Disconnect".
    So I now have a clean iPod, and clean iTunes - all empty and essentially useless!
    Anybody out there with any ideas? Plllleeeeeeeese?

  • HT1363 i have an ipod classic 120gb. it has a white screen although i can hear the sound of the click wheel and even songs would play.but once dicharged ,my computer cannot recognize it please help

    I bought an ipod classic 120gb in 2008. once by mistake it went in along with laundry in washing machine. I kept it under the sun to let it dry and tried to start it but it wouldn't.I kept it for charging and it started normally.after around 1 month when it got fully discharged i again kept it for chargin but it showed white screen.Although i could hear the sound of clickwheel and songs too but the screen remained white..Some suggested to replace the screen. Please help

    It's likely that the moisture fried some of the internal components of the device. You'll need to take or send your iPod in for service/repair.  Apple will do an out of warranty exchange versus actually repairing the device as a third party service would do.
    Here is pricing for iPod repairs from Apple.

  • HELP PLEASE!!! ipod classic 120gb is skiping parts of songs

    i had an ipod nano 4th gen be for it and quickly maxed out its memory. so for my birthday this year i figured id up grade to an ipod classic 120gb (6th gen). i just got this thing 3 days ago. i reset it for PC's and loaded my music on. now its skipping parts of songs. it will play through half of a song, or less, and then jump to the next. and some times when i try to go back to the song it skipped it freezes and restarts its self on me. help please?
    oh and before you go and say "just restore the thing" i cant. i live out in the middle of nowhere and the internet/itunes connection takes for ever. it took 11 hours for it to download the software update for PC's. and now it wants me to re-download it.

    I had the same problem with iTunes 10.3.1.55 on WinXP and the steps in the link referred to here https://discussions.apple.com/message/15394615#15394615 fixed it for me.

  • Can I do a duplicate search to delete on my ipod classic 120gb only?  There are no duplicates on my itunes... I think these duplicates arose when I did a restore, and had to reload from the cloud, and my computer backup.... please help...

    I have an ipod classic 120gb...
    Somehow I have managed to get mutiple duplicates.....
    I had a computer crash... and I restore several songs from the cloud, and from my computer backup from an external drive...
    and also, from past purchases on itunes...... some songs I had loaded from my own cd collection....and songs had overlapped......
    I knew I had duplicates before the crash and never took care of it.... but now of course there are more...
    I have taken care of the duplicates in itunes, by deleting them one by one..... I made the mistake of checking boxes then highlighting and doing a mass delete... thinking it would only delete my check boxes.... and loss a lot of music... so had to restore backups again....
    so.......
    Ipod......... how do I delete duplicates from the ipod, without loosing music from my ipod... I have lost music that is still there I believe on the Ipod that is not on my itunes... but I am not sure...and I can not find a search duplicates in itunes for Ipod....  can anyone help me on this... is there a way to do it, without going through 8 days of music line by line??
    Thank you

    Restore the iPod and reload it from the library... Ah, but there might be media on the device that isn't in the library yes?
    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device and a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates from iTunes if you end up needing to do a blanket recovery from the iPod. See this  thread for background on DeDuper.

  • Help! My iPod Classic 120gb isn't working.

    Hello All,
    First, some details - I have an iPod Classic 120gb and I'm running Windows XP.
    My iPod was originally configured so that I manually copied songs/videos to it.
    Two days ago I plugged it in a friend's laptop. While plugged in, the laptop froze and was restarted.
    My iPod was not safey removed from the laptop, and since that moment every time I plugged it in any computer, iTunes would give out this error:
    "The iPod "iPod" could not be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
    I tried copying the iPod_control folder so that I'll be able to perform a restore on it and then dump that folder and have all my music with minimum bother.
    I was unable to copy that folder off my iPod to my computer, even when I put my iPod into disk mode.
    I decided to perform a restore on it. After resetting it to go back to normal mode, it didn't show up in iTunes. Not even in disk mode.
    I formatted the iPod with Windows' Disk Management.
    After the format the iPod appeared in iTunes and a restore was called for.
    After the restore, the iPod does not appear in iTunes.
    The iPod turns on and shows its menus and everything. It seems to be working OK, hardware-wise.
    When plugging it in, iTunes freezes for about a minute, and when it comes to the iPod is not recognized in iTunes.
    It is, however, recognized in My Computer and in it appear the iPod folders (Calendars, Contacts, iPod_control, etc.).
    Please help me get my iPod working again.
    Thanks!
    Kelso.

    Anyone?

  • Need to get firmware 2.0.4 on to my ipod classic 120GB (on PC). Currently running 2.0.1. How do I do this please?

    Hi there
    I'm trying to hook up my ipod classic 120GB (serial no ends in 2C7 so think its 6th Gen?) to my Audi in car entertainment system. When I hook it up the car is telling me the ipod is not compatible. I think I'm using the right cable as the car is only 4 days old and the cables came with it. When I check the system requirements in the car manual, it states that Classics are compatible running on 2.0.4. My ipod is on 2.0.1. Itunes tells me there are no software updates pending. How do I get my ipod to run on 2.0.4 firmware?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks
    Paul

    Oh, and I've also tried to hook up a different ipod (8GB Ipod touch)which worked on the same cable. So dont think its an error with the cable or the car!?

  • IPod Classic 120GB

    I have a iPod classic 120GB and itunes isn't syncing all of my music. I have over 5,000 songs. But, once it syncs about 500 of the songs itunes freezes and stops syncing and gives me an error. I have tried changing the music files from MP3 to AAC that didn't work, I've also tried dragging and dropping the songs in sections and once it gets to 600 songs it give me another error. I've pretty much tried it all and now I have no idea what to do. Someone please help!

    It is likely that the iPod's hard drive is faulty, and there is a problem with the iPod's storage media at about the point where 500 to 600 songs would be loaded.  That is why it errors out consistently at about the same point in the data transfer, no matter how you load the songs.
    You said you tried converting your song files from MP3 to AAC, so that would rule out a problem with the files being transferred.
    It may be a problem with the connection between iPod and computer, but then, I think the problem would occur at a random point, not consistently when you get to about 500 to 600 songs.
    You can set the iPod to Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
    With iTunes NOT running, connect the iPod.  If you have any Windows utilities that can examine a hard drive, you can try them on the iPod's hard drive.
    You may want to try reformatting the iPod's hard drive using Windows (instead of doing a Restore in iTunes).  The format type used on the iPod's hard drive is FAT32 (when the iPod is used with a Windows PC).  If there is an option to do a "quick format," do NOT select that option.  Do a "full" format (it may fail at that same point).
    If that completes successfully, try running iTunes.  It will probably prompt you to do a Restore, which you will need to do because the iPod does not have any of its software loaded.  Then, see if your problem still recurs.

  • Horizontal White Line Right Across Screen iPod Classic 120GB

    I bought an Apple iPod Classic 120GB 14 months ago. I have looked after it very carefully (it hasn't even left the house) and only used it sparingly. Last week an annoying horizontal white line appeared right across the screen. I have tried all the recommended including resetting it.
    Having trawled the internet forums and asked at my local Apple franchise dealer this seems to be a common fault with the screen hardware. I gather I can expect more line to appear over the next few weeks. I followed Apple's online repair procedure and once I ticked the box for 'screen problem' there is another drop down box with about 4 options. One of these refers to horizontal or vertical lines across the screen so Apple must be aware of this fault. At the next stage I was advised that I must pay approx £95 before the iPod could be repaired or replaced.
    I subsequently phoned their Customer Services Department in India to ask why I was being charged so much for what was clearly a manufacturing fault and was told that they had no authority to offer discounts for repairs. Having asked to speak to someone who could help I was put through to Apple in Ireland.
    The person I spoke to again repeated that Apple would only repair the iPod if I paid £95. He claimed it was a very rare problem but they were aware of it. I suggested that if this was true, surely they would want to replace or repair the iPod free of charge or at least for a reasonable price. The answer to this was no. I asked how long they expected iPods to last as 14 months did not seem very long. He said that he couldn't answer my question. I would have thought that it was reasonable to expect a life cycle of nearer 5 years for an high quality mp3 player. I feel that if an iPod fails after only 14 months it is hardly fit for purpose.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    this is the exact same problem as mine (mine is classic 80GB) :[
    it started happening out of nowhere, for no reason too. it happened 10 days ago, and ive had it for 2 years 3 months
    in addition to the line across my screen, there are some scattered dots above it that move around everytime i turn off my ipod and turn it back on, which is really odd and at first funny but now just very sad.
    please please tell me if you find a solution (minus the huge fix cost), and/or email me at [email protected]

  • My iPod Classic 120GB is clicking and not turning on. It has been charged but does not hold charge. I am not able to restore factory settings. Error code and have tried troubleshooting options without success. Thoughts?

    My iPod Classic 120GB makes a clicking noise when syncing with iTunes and will not sync. It will not turn on at this time and has been charged but does not hold the charge. After trying to sync, iTunes states that iPod must be restored. Have tried to do this but not successful, I receive an error code and have done the troubleshooting steps for the error and I am still not able to sync or use my iPod. HELP?

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • 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?
