Sincing ipod classic 120 gig with i tunes
I've been trying to update a new 120 gig classic with my i tunes library but i keep getting the message that i tunes 8 has to be donwloaded. when i try to download version 8, i get the message that a windows installer package programme that is required couldn't be found.
can anyone help ?
If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected. Try ejecting again after the restart.
If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage. When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes. This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk.

I cannot eject my new ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc due, it states, to open files being used by another application. What does this mean? How can I get my ipod to eject?

Trouble with artwork on iPod Classic 120 gig
I know that in previous version of iTunes, the solution to corrupted artwork files has been to deselect the "include artwork" option (or something like that) in Music...however, the latest incarnation of iTunes doesn't allow for this. I've tried resetting, rebooting, etc. the iPod three times.
Help, anyone? Thanks...appreciate it a lot.Welcome to Apple Discussions
It seems that you made a wrong turn on the main page of Apple Discussions & ended up in the forum dedicated to the word processing/page layout application, Pages. I think you'll get the best response to your questions in one of the forums in the iPod Classic category. -
I purchased from Apple, a new universal dock with remote (MC746LL/A) along with the proper dock adapter for my ipod Classic 120. According to Apple the dock works with any ipod with a dock and adapter.. The remote does absolutely nothing despite a brand new battery. The only reason I purchased this pricey accessory was to have an additional ipod station with a remote. I could have saved a ton of money if I didn't care about a sensor on front of the unit. Any thoughts.
You are in exactly the same boat as I. I have the same problem. I posted a query on this forum too but no help came forth. Looks like Apple could be blocking replies to iPod Classic issues since it withdrew the product. Amazing company. But incase anyone can still access this query, please help. It will help two customers of Apple if not more.
Awaiting help !! -

HT2305 Problem with syncing Ipod classic in Itunes with Windows 8
I am having problems getting my Ipod classic to sync with Itunes. Is 2.0.4 the current firmware for me to use with my Ipod using Windows 8? If not, please let me know what firmware I need to use. Thank you.
Hey catwoman001,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far! iPod software version 2.0.5 is available for the iPod classic 160GB (Late 2009). If this is your model, you may want to update the iPod. If you are having issues with your iPod, the following troubleshooting assistant may help:

Ipod Classic 120 opens iTunes, is in My Computer, but NOT in iTunes
When I plug my iPod Classic 120 into the PC it opens iTunes automatically. It shows as an iPod in My Computer, BUT doesn't show in iTunes.
It doesn't show the Syncing Circle when I plug it in.
The screen just changes to 'Connected'
I also get a Caution bubble in the taskbar
Here is the other photo
I followed all the recommended options I saw posted including uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.
It also locks up when I eject, and freezes up the PC as well.Stays on 'OK to Disconnect' for a while, not the way it always was.
Its getting to be a real pain!
Any help??
Please email me [email protected]
ThxDid you put it on your ipod?

I have an ipod classic 120 gb. I had it set up so that I manually sync and manage my music. Twice I have had my ipod plugged into my mac and it had erased everything on my ipod. All the music on my itunes was still in my library, but all the other music was lost. I understand that I need to go back to the other libraries I got that music from, but how do I make sure that my ipod doesn't keep syncing and erasing itself? Also, now every five minutes a message will pop up on my itunes saying that it cannot sync because of an unknown error and then it has the number 13014. I have no idea what that is about. Does anyone else go through this? How do I fix it?
Well the iPod is supposed to be synced from YOUR iTunes music library, if you used other means to put music on there then the iPod is going to sync to only what's on your itunes music library when you connect it.
You need to put the files into itunes.
Far as your other issues, sounds like the drive is dying.

Ipod classic wont work with Itunes
This is my first ipod purchase and I am not pleased, its 2 days old and still isn't working. I did exactly how the instructions set out how to set it up. I plugged the ipod in, it charged for a few minutes, and a menu popped up on the screen for my language, I selected it and then it went to the connected screen, and continued to charge, I loaded itunes, nothing appeared, so I decided to let it charge to full, after it had been fully charged, still nothing, I have done everything apple have suggested, reset ipod, unistalled itunes, reinstalled, turned off the ipod service and turned it back on again, used a different USB port, itunes just will not find my ipod, therefore I cannot set it up to add files to it. I am extremely disheartened by how incredibley difficult this has been as this is my first apple product
When connecting to your Mac, make sure it is a high power USB2.0 port on the CPU body, do not use the USN port on the keyboard or any USB Hub.
If you are connecting to a MacBook Pro, only one USB port can provide enough resource for the high Drain device like the iPod. The other USB port is shared internally with other IO devices.
Given the huge amount of iPod Classic sync issues, I would recommend, that you dont use any USB port with other devices, when you are syncing or Restoring any iPod Classic.
So with the above info
Reset you iPod while connected to the High power USB port.
When iTunes comes up and prompt you to Restore, please do so (this will fix any hardisk filesystem corruption)
Good Luck! -

This happened to me aswell, but it happened to me when I plugged it into the PC but same problem. what you have to do is move the 'Hold Switch' to put it on hold and then move it back again and then hold both the 'Menu button' and button in the middle of the click wheel. then it will turn off and then come up with the Apple logo and then it will work fine and you can try again. (P.S: If it doesnt show the Apple logo just try pressing any button

My iPod Classic is synced with an old iTunes account. How can I transfer this music to my new iTunes account?
If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again. -
My ipod classic 120 wont respond and the screen is frozen
my ipod classic 120 wont respond and the screen is frozen
Hello Charles,
What happens if you try to do a hard reset? To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may or may not work the first time around so be sure to attempt this at least a minimum of three times.
If the iPod remains frozen, let the iPod's battery drain completely, but attempting to recharge the iPod.
