Serious problem with Classic and iPod Hi-Fi

I have a problem with iPod Classic 80GB and iPod Hi-Fi. When iPod is docked in Hi-Fi and it's play music, it always stop play after minut or two, randomly and in display it shows battery icon. What kind of problem could it be? Hardware or software? Maybe is solution for this? Maybe downgarde iPod software could help? How to do it?

A known problem, with no fix it seems.

  • Multiple problems with itunes and ipod touch

    I don't even know where to begin explaining all the problems I've had with itunes and my ipod touch, along with the troubleshooting that I've done to no avail.  Now, I'm totally frustrated.  So, here I am hoping that I can get some help from someone.  I spent almost $400 for my ipod touch and don't want to have to give up on it.
    First, in case you need to know, I have the latest version of iTunes (10.2.2.14), an iPod Touch.  My Windows edition is Windows Vista with Service Pack 2.  My system has the following:
         Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard Company
         Model: m9150f
         Processor:  Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU   Q6600 @ 2.40GHz  2.40 GHz
         Memory (RAM):  3.00 GB
         System type:  32-bit Operating System
    Next, in order to simplify what I have to say, I'll just briefly tell you what problems I've encountered, what I've done, and the results:
         1.     iPod not displayed in Computer when plugged into USB port
         2.     no device displayed in iTunes
         3.     unable to sync music and photos from my computer to iPod
         4.     have gone through and completed all troubleshooting two times to no avail
         5.     lost all settings and apps on my iPod and can't restore and/or retrieve them (my fault for erasing the info)
         6.     can't get iTunes to recognize(?) my iPod, after plugging it into the the USB port, in order to possibly restore it to working order
    If I haven't provided enough info, please let me know.
    I'll appreciate any help that you can give in order to resolve these issues.
    Thank you.

  • Problems with iTunes and iPod running under Windows Vista

    I recently changed my computer. I now have an HP Pavilion running windows Vista (use to have XP). I have a video iPod -30GB. I downloaded iTunes onto the new equipment without incident, but that is the last thing that went smoothly.
    I can no longer watch TV shows or movies from iTunes. The video plays like a slide show of stills (the audio is real-time however). Eventually I will get an error message from Windows and it closes the application.
    I am also having issues with syncing my iPod and computer. I get a message requiring me to delete all of the content of the iPod and replace it with the contents of iTunes. I haven't done this -no trust and no backup
    The delete message is from iTunes. I suspect it is a security feature to prevent downloading to more than one iPod, as iTunes doesn't seem to 'know' my iPod anymore. Syncing has also caused iTunes to close and my computer to reboot. Has anyone else had these problems?
    HP Pavilion   Windows Vista  

    you may want to take a look at the iPod 101 tutorials. Those might help.
    Regards.

  • Problems with itunes and ipod

    If anyone can help me with this problem i would really appreciate it
    The problem started about a week ago when i had just finished downloading some music off of morpheus. My computer displayed a message saying that I didn't have anymore space on my ipod, i knew this was incorrect because my ipod holds 500 songs and at the time i only had about 270 songs. Itunes displayed another message saying that it would select various songs to a new created playlist. The problem with this is it only put 70 songs back on the ipod. So I deleted it. The next day i tried putting more songs back on it, and i got another message saying that itunes was corrupt. Strangely, itunes wiped ALL my songs off my ipod. I have virus protection so i ran the mcafee virus scan, and no files were infected. Now Everytime I hook up my ipod to my notebook i get a message saying " Ipod cannot be updated because all the selected playlists for updating no longer exist." I have tried resetting my ipod, updating itunes, creating new playlists, and nothing just seems to work.
    If anyone knows how to remedy this problem please let me know.
    Thanks.

    " Ipod cannot be updated because all the selected playlists for updating no longer exist."<<</div>
    It sounds like you have the ipod set to automatically update selected songs and playlists only. Try placing it into a different updating configuration.

  • New Computer = New Problems with iTunes and iPod Classic

    I recently got a new computer. I was successfully able to transfer the iTunes music files from the old machine to the new. However, I had to reload my iPod from scratch. My problems are:
    -- songs from playslists that aren't checked to be loaded are loading into my iPod (my son's music).
    -- I'm getting multiple messages to authorize the computer for it to load purchased music (I have authorized it in the past). I get an error message when I try to authorize the computer (-44084).
    --If I uncheck a play list or song, will it be removed from my iPod next time I sync? If not, how do I "erase" songs from my iPod that I dont' want anymore?

    I'm getting multiple messages to authorize the computer for it to load purchased music (I have authorized it in the past). I get an error message when I try to authorize the computer (-44084).
    With that one, I'd try the following document:
    [iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389]
    (Probably best to start with the user account control section with a 44084.)

  • Problems with iTunes and iPod Touch

    I'm unable to properly install itunes. Here is the process I go through in trying to connect my brand new ipod touch:
    Open itunes 7.5, and proceed through installation as normal. Problems occur on the following progress bar:
    updating component registration
    copying new files
    status:
    (pauses for about 30s)
    status: rolling back action:
    (status bar backtracks to 0% and then installation continues)
    I select to open iTunes after the installation completes.
    I then plug in the ipod touch and get the error message:
    "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    Also, a window pops up saying there is a camera connected, and asks if I want to use microsoft office word, microsoft scanner and camera wizard, or photoshop to open "Apple iPod"
    I've followed all troubleshooting steps provided on the apple website and am still having the issue. Any thoughts or recommendations? I have a very clean system with hardly any running processes. (my task bar has 3 icons total: trillian, volume control, and itunes)

  • External Hard Drive problems with iTunes and iPod

    I recently purchased a 320 gig external hard drive for my computer, hoping in part to load my iTunes library onto it. Obviously I'd have much more room on disc than my actual iPod, so I was going to manually manage my music (an option I didn't have selected on my iPod before).
    I followed all the online help topics which have all been helpful so far. I organized my music files, changed my directory, consolidated my library, and now everything is on the external hard drive and is working just fine.
    The problem comes when I connect my iPod. iTunes barely even seems to recognize my iPod all of a sudden, saying that it has been corrupted and needs to be restored. When I try restoring it, nothing happens, and I can't seem to do a thing about it through iTunes. Of course, there's actually nothing wrong with the iPod at all, since it still works fine and plays music exactly the same as before. It simply won't update or do anything at all when hooked up to my computer.
    I know this has something to do with the new hard drive, since everything was just fine a few hours ago, I just can't figure out why I can't get my iPod to sync all of a sudden. Like I said, my iPod is working fine otherwise, iTunes is playing music through the external hard drive without any issues, and I haven't touched any files other than music files (I haven't even deleted them off my original hard drive yet, so all the original fines remain unchanged, even though I switched the directory).
    To the best of my knowledge, all my software is up to date, and the iPod is a 30 gig photo. Any ideas?
    pc   Windows XP  

    Yeah, I gave the new drive the letter Z, so there shouldn't have been any conflicts there. I also tried your other suggestion, and while the computer recognized my external hard drive, it didn't seem to make any difference once I plugged in the iPod again.
    I've been wrestling with this for days now. I've tried changing the drive letters for both the external hard drive and my iPod several times (but no matter what, the iPod always seems to take F when it's unplugged and then plugged back in). I've tried restoring the iPod on multiple occasions. I've tried reinstalling all my USB drivers. I've consolidated my music library on several occasions (I now have two identical libraries on my external hard drive), yet annoyingly, iTunes seems to keep switching file paths away from the external hard drive and back to their original locations on the C drive. I'm trying to free up internal hard drive space, not house 30 gigs of media on it. That's what this new external hard drive is for.
    Somehow, I was able to get them both to be recognized at the same time, but it never lasts long. I'll start iTunes with the external hard drive disconnected, plug in my iPod, wait for the iPod screen to come up in iTunes, then plug my external hard drive back in. Then, I can miraculously start to transfer music back onto my iPod, but iTunes doesn't seem to want this to happen for some reason, and will usually cut off the transfer. So far I've managed to put three whole songs on my iPod.
    So now I'm trying to do two things. One, the same as before, get my computer and iTunes to recognize both my iPod and my external hard dive at the same time. And two, get iTunes to stop changing the file paths back to the C drive. These files are already on my external hard drive and don't need to change.
    (As a side note, I should comment on how helpful people are on this discussion board. The Apple representitives I called on several occasions seemed totally unwilling to help, acting more like pushy salesmen than anything, while people here seem to be much more friendly and knowledgeable. Just thought it needed to be said.)

  • Syncing problems with Itunes and Ipod Help?

    Okay..I don't even know what's been happening with the newest Ios 5 update for apple products, but since the update, my ipod hasn't been able to synch with Itunes.
    For example, I manually organize all my music and when I edit the album artist or the album artwork etc, it would show up in Itunes perfectly, but on the Itouch, nothing has been changed. This means that not only does it now show the album artwork that I set up in Itunes, but also all the artists as well. I've seen many people so far having this problem, but through all the solutions people have said, none have worked for me. Another problem is that it also mix and matches all the songs I have downloaded as well. Only the songs I purchase seem to be alright.
    I have tried many things from restoring my Itouch and re-downloading music, manually re-synching my Itouch to see if the artists will show up, but to no avail, it hasn't worked.
    Please help me. It's getting quite frustrating that nothing is synching since the newest ios 5.1.1 update. Thank you

    The ipod touch will only sync to one computer at a time. If you sync to another it will indeed erase the content from the ipod first, then replace with content from the new computer.
    Sign into your account on the computer, make sure it is authorized, then connect the ipod:

  • Problem with itunes and ipod

    well i have my ipod nano i believe and i tried upgrading to the new itunes. when i did i get an error saying the ipod communications program is not working. when i try to plug my ipod in itunes does not recognize it at all. and i cannot get my music then from itunes to my ipod. i have tried re-installing it several times but to no avail. what can be done about this because i am getting extremely annoyed.

    Have a look at whichever one of these articles is most appropriate first: "iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
    If you have no luck and want to use an earlier version of iTune, you'll find one here: http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.htm Remember to back up your iTunes folder if you plan to change your installation in case you run into problems.

  • Problem with itunes and ipod touch

    my ipod touch is recognize by itunes but the song that i have in my itunes dont want to get into my ipod. so i dont have any songs now. it's my new computer. it didnt happen on my old computer.

    Is the computer authorized for the music in your iTunes library? 
    Is the iPod signed into the iTunes account the purchased the music?

  • Serious Problem with thumbs and duplicates

    To make a long story short, I made a complete backup of my computer to an external hard drive. I erased my entire computer and reinstalled the system.
    When I tried importing my iPhoto library, for some reason I now have three versions of every photo. I have 24,000 photos when before I had 8,000. For every photo there are two duplicates and one thumbnail. What is weird is that the duplicates are not even the same size. They are close, say one is 3.6MB, the other is 3MB.
    So somewhere I messed up big time. While looking through the photos and realizing that I had 3 of each I started deleting the files that were around 20-30k. I had no idea why they were there. Now I realize that they were the thumbnails....duh
    But since I have so many I've only thrown away about 1000 thumbnails. And gave up.
    How in the heck do I get my iPhoto environment back to the way it was?
    Signed, stupid iPhoto user.

    You do not import iPhoto libraries - you place them in the pictures folder and launch iPhoto and it opens them - the iPhoto library is a database and contains ups to three different versions of each photo - iPhoto knows what is what by using the database files
    so just drag the iPhoto library from your backup to the pictures folder and launch iPhoto

  • Serious problem with my iPod Classic/iTunes

    I have a 6th Generation iPod classic (80 GB), and recently, I have been having some serious problems with it.
    When I connect it to iTunes, there is usually no problem, it shows up, plays and displays the music correctly, etc. However, if I try to ADD any music to it, iTunes will freeze, then close, and within 5 minutes, my entire computer will freeze completely, and be shut off. For whatever reason, happen when my iPod finally disconnects because my computer turned off, all of my music is missing from the library (This doesn't happen every time it freezes, because I try to disconnect my iPod manually before everything freezes). The music is still on the iPod, (it says that I have XX.X GB of "other" instead of music/videos), but it doesn't show up. When I plug in my iPod, iTunes says that there was a problem and I need to restore it. The first time this happened, I lost over 5,800 songs, but I forgave Apple, because these things do occasionally happen, plus I had no idea what exactly went on. The SECOND time happened within the same week, after I had put 800 songs back on the restored iPod. The first time happened when I was using iTunes 10 (which is seriously buggy on my computer, and freezes often), so I switched to iTunes 9 (still buggy, but doesn't freeze quite as much), and the same thing happened. So now I'm thinking it's my iPod's fault. My iPod does a whole host of minor problems over time such as making certain songs cut off at a certain specific point for no reason (Always the same song, always the same cut off point, and I can't fast forward past it, I also can't delete the songs because if I highlight them on iTunes, iTunes will freeze, and if I find them under the music folder in iPod control, my computer will freeze), freezing the entire iPod for seemingly no reason, and somehow messing up my album artwork (it will appear as "Colourful Static"), along with alot more.
    I know this is a troublesome problem, but if anyone could somehow shine some light on this problem, it would be tremendously appreciated.
    Thank you
    -Eric Luna

    Unfortunately, when a hard drive starts clicking that means it's going bad. The mechanism is having trouble reading the drive. Since the iPod is mostly just a harddrive and a battery I have a feeling that this is your problem.
    watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMm6c3fr-fU
    about 25ss in is where the clicking starts. If it sounds like that, but softer and more muffled since it is a smaller drive that is being enclosed then I think you might be SOL. Maybe if you're iPod is still under warranty you can get a credit and go for a touch and avoid moving parts all together?

  • Alpine CDE-103Bt Head Unit and Problem with 160 Gig Ipod Classic

    Hi,
    2 weeks agao I brought a new Alpine CDE-103BT Head unit for my car. I have owned one of the old 160 gig classics for the last year and a half and at the time I brough the unit I was told this should all work sweet. Indeed all of the documentation from Alpine, and the Sales person, said this would not be a problem.
    Unfortunately from Day one, most times after I received a phone call, while playing my ipod, the Head Unit would givesme an "Error-03" message and stop playing my music. I would then have to unplug my ipod, reset it, and plug it back in. Extremely frustrating.
    The people I brought the Head Unit from are trying to say its an Ipod problem, yet I never had any problems with it and after I contacted the Australian Ipod help line they said it all appears to be working correctly. The firmware version I was on when I first tried the ipod on the head unit was 1.1.2. The Alpine manual said it should be 1.1.1 (then again you would expect them to be able to cope with updates) so as a last ditch attempt I downgraded the firmware on my ipod to 1.1.1, but it did not make a difference.
    The only other thing I have noticed is that I switch the repeat and shuffle settings off when I plug in the unit, but after I unplug it after an Error-03 the Repaet function has been swtiched to all - I am not sure if this is what is causing the problem.
    I am getting pretty frustrated with everything and I was wondering if anyone else has come accross this issue and even me helpful had they found a way to fix it.
    If not has anyone had any postive expereinces with Alpine head units?
    Thanks

  • Serious problem with Ipod touch 4g

    Hi.
    Sorry form my bad english but i have a serious problem with my Ipod.
    Couple days ago my Ipod touch 4g was little bit weted on rain(just couple drops on screen and maybe little bit in headphones and dock connectors) When  saw this, i putted Ipod in rice for 72 hours.
    After being wet i not try ot tuned on or charge, just stay in rice. After that i try tuned on. but the device isnt'starting.
    When putted oncharge, and after 2 hours i pushed sleep and home buttons and he turned on. On the display had a "z" or other name sig-sag symbol,
    later i readthis meeans battery is fully discharged and it's need from couple hours to charge. Butwhen i saw this symbol, on the display in upper corner have a little spot(maybe moisture),and putted in rice for other 24 hours. On nextday try to charge and turned on, but this time the ipod isn't turned on. Even can't start recovery or dfu mode.
    My question is - did wet and not warking Ipod is normal to be not recognises by pc?-  even date recovery programs cant'recognised him.
    Also the important is condition on my cabble. Its verry bad condition, and even before weting Ipod,ismaking problmes wih charging.
    Its posible problem is cabble?
    Pleasa help.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
