Is the new iPod classic's scroll wheel less sensitive?

I have an iPod video that had a silicone skin on it. When I put the it on the new iPod classic I recently bought, it can't sense my scrolling. Same issue when I put it in my armband that has a plastic cover. Curious to know how many other people have or have had this issue. Wondering if there's any way to change the sensitivity on the iPod.

I think the topic starter means iPod 3G not the second generation iPhone 3G.
But sorry, I don't know. I never used the new USB-cable for the iPod 3G, I always used Firewire.

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.

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

How you can load the Genius mix list in a Ipod Classic 80 GB

Hi, G´day!
Somebody can help me about how you can load the Genius Mix List in a 80 GB Ipod Classic?
I have totally updated my Ipod Software and the Itunes but the Genius Mix List didn´t appear on my device, can you help me if is possible to load this kind of list?
Best regards!

Hmmm, I bought a 60-GB Ipod Classic at first then it was stolen. The thing is my 2 year warranty didn't kick-in, nether did my car insurance which doesn't cover theft.
So I had to take the loss and come up with cash for another Ipod but this time it was the 80-GB Classic. Now this one has crashed. So I may try ZUNE this time, are you listening @ APPLE ? I've only had this new one since July 7th- 07.
So far I've shelled out roughly $930.00 for two APPLE Ipods with the 2 year warranty in approve. 18 months.
Another thing is that I didn't transfer the warranty to the new Ipod. They don't tell you themselves about the transfer but you have to take the initiative yourself. They never offered to give me the paperwork. There you have it the pitfall of not transferring your warranty. Without that warranty you are left holding the bag. So get that warranty puuuleeeezze.

No Genius mixes in itunes for ipod classic

I own an ipod classic and although Genius is ON in itunes, i cannot see any genius mixes in itunes and of course not on my ipod either. I used to see it but after one upgrade of itunes it just disappeard.
I keep updating Genius but still no genius mixes. Apple people please help

Hello simoneta10,
iTunes 11 looks a little different than the previous versions of iTunes, and I'm wondering if you do not see the Genius Mixes because the Sidebar is hidden. You can follow these steps to bring back the sidebar in iTunes:
Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
You can find the full article here:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Additionally, I recommend reviewing the following resource to sync the Genuis Mixes to your iPod:
iPhone and iPod: Understanding Genius Mixes

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

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.

Disc utilities fail with the new iPod Classic

Like with any HD based device, I always perform regular checks and maintenance on it. I frequently check my daughter's iPod Mini and repair the directory, if needed, and occasionally defrag when required. However, attempting to just check the directory structure, or view possible fragmentation without even starting the defrag process with the Classic, causes TTP 4.5.3 to crash, DriveGenius to report:
"Read error whilst trying to read the Wrapper Master Directory Block" and also tell me that the volume is not HFS+.
I don't understand why I'm not able to work with this iPod in the same way I do with my daughter's. Can anyone help?

The following is a bit more information on what happens when I try and rebuild the directory.
The iPod works and behaves perfectly. I'm really worried now.
Analyzing an HFS Plus volume.
Error : Read error whilst trying to read the Wrapper Master Directory Block
Error : Read error whilst trying to read the HFS+ Volume Header block
Error : Invalid HFS+ signature found in the volume header (0000 - (n).
Error : Invalid HFS+ version number in the volume header (0).

I have posted this in the general 'Using OSX' as well but so far there's been no response.

I have an ipod nano 8gb which is full, my husband is a jazz fan, I am thinking of buying another ipod classic 160gb - is it possible to link this to the same library in itunes and just put all his jazz on the new ipod?

I have an ipod nono 8gb which is about 5 years old and is full - my husband is a jazz fan, and now I have jazz on my little ipod and my ipod touch. I am thinking of getting an ipod classic 160gb and putting all his jazz on to it. Is it possible for me to link it to my Itunes library and his Itunes library and just put all the jazz on to the new Ipod classic? if so, how do I then delete the jazz of the other two ipods?

There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.
You might want to create a seperate iTunes library for him, perhaps on another user account on the system and move all of his Jazz music over to that new library. Once you have all of his music moved over to his own library, remove it from your own and then resync both of your iPods to clear his music off. This is just one way to do it.
If that was a bit confusing, take a look at this article for a few ways to manage multiple iPods with one computer.

Can new iPod Classic play movies types iPod 5th Gen cannot?

I have an iPod 5th generation and I have not really tried to put movies on it. My wife just got a new iPod classics and we've been uploading (MP4 H.264 codec) movies on her iPod Classic. When I try to upload it on my iPod 5th Gen I get an error these files cannot be uploaded since the iPod cannot play these file types. I had the same with a *.mov file.
Can the new iPod Classic play more than the iPod 5th Gen? Or is there a way to fix this?

Try right clicking the movie in iTunes and picking the "Convert for iPod" option. Then try syncing the converted copy ("converting" makes a new copy, old version is left alone) to your 5th gen.

Connecting new iPod Classic to a TV

Hi! I am hoping that someone can help me. I am somewhat new to this whole mp3 thing. I did get my 9yr old daughter an iPod nano for Christmas and have been helping her set hers up, but that's pretty much the extent of my experience. So, please forgive my ignorance.
I am thinking about getting myself a new 80gb iPod classic. I would like to be able to easily hook it up to various TV's to watch downloaded movies. As I believe that composite hook-ups are the most universal, I'm thinking that composite cables would be the way to go. However, after researching this for the past couple of hours, I think I am more confused than I was before. If I am understanding this correctly, with the new iPod classics, you have to purchase special $50 Apple cables if you want to watch your videos on a TV. And then there is a $50 dock that is available that I can't really figure out what it does. Is the dock necessary? Do I need both the cable and the dock? Is there anything else I would have to buy? Is there a better and/or cheaper way to achieve this? I would really like to know before I spend $250 on the iPod how much more money I am going to have to spend in order to watch downloaded movies on the TV. Any help/advice at all would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
AC

Unfortunately for both of us the $50 cables are required for the use of an iPod classic on the TV. I got on the chat with one of the apple professionals to ask this question because I have purchased $10 cable that I thought would connect my iPod to the TV for the purpose of viewing videos, to my surprise all I was able to achieve was sound. After messing with the video settings it was all still to no avail. As far as the Dock...it's not required for use with your TV, the cables will do just fine, and I've not looked into what the dock does myself.

My new Ipod classic will only synch purchased music from my Windows 8,1 computer

My Ipad and an older Ipod synch the entire library, but the new Ipod classic won't see anything but music purchased from the Itunes store. I have used both the entire library option and the manual option, but neither will see anything but the purchased music. Please help!!!

I had something similar occur when I purchased a new I-Pod. Sync did everything except vids I had downloaded from YouTube.( These are placed in films/home films.)
Apple support rang me after about 30 secs and talked me through how to sync these and done within 5 mins. All vids now synced on my I-Pod.

New ipod classic crashes pc every time I plug it in

I've been reading the forums, and know I'm not the only person experiencing this, but here goes...
I bought a brand new 120gb ipod classic and downloaded itunes yesterday. I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 and the latest available download of itunes. I have the latest available drivers for my printer, webcam, and USB 2.0 card.
I have tried plugging the ipod into my USB 2.0 hub, into the computer direct, into different USB ports, and disconnecting all other USB devices, all to no effect.
Every time I plug in the ipod, Windows recognises that the Apple ipod USB Driver has been connected, then my computer restarts. I simply don't know what else to do. I've reset the ipod, what on earth do I try next? I've wasted a whole day, and it's made me absolutely miserable.
Help, please.

Hmmm... The guy writing that article indicates that the problem is to do with the Apple USB driver. It appears that for him, and many others, Apple's temporary fix of rolling back the USB driver from version 1.35 to version 1.29, has resolved the problem of Blue Screen Of Death.
It hasn't fixed it for me. I've got the XP sp3 and the new iPod Classic 120GB, and I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it from the Apple website several times. I've checked, and my version of iTunes 8 has version 1.29 of the USB driver. I've tried with the iPod in disk mode too. But I keep getting the BSOD, with the message "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL".
However, my old iPod Photo 20GB from 3 years ago works fine!!!

How cld I transfer my beloved music on Mac 10.3.9 to a new iPod Classic?

I have all the music stored on my Mac OS X 10.3.9. My old iPod broken and I bought a new 160GB iPod Classic. But the iPod Classic says it requires 10.4.8 and above. Does it mean I will never be able to copy out all the music I stored on my old Mac OS X 10.3.9 out to a new iPod at all? Or could I re-format the new iPod Classic?

Sorry, your computer doesn't meet the tech specs for using an iPod Classic.
You need to update your OS.

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
