Synchronization problems on Windows 7 64bit - iPod Classic

Hi all,
I have some (minor) problems with iPod/iTunes synchronization:
1. Some albums have the cover image that shows properly in iTunes for each song, while on my iPod they seem to be associated only to some songs of the album.
2. Some albums are correctly displayed in iTunes while on the iPod each song is displayed as a separate album.
I've tried to erase all the songs on my iPod and then synchronizing again but it didn't work.
My pc is a HP ProBook 6540b with Windows7 64bit Enterprise N (version 6.1.7600) and I use iTunes 9.2.1.5.
Thanks,
Simone

Your right, but I need to buy a new hard drive first.
I like to do new OS installs on a new disk because that way I can mount the old OS drive and copy any previous application configuration files and whatnot whenever I realize I need them.
Where is bootcamp 3.0?
I have 2.0 on my disc.
I see 2.1 and 2.2 and 3.1 on apple downloads, but I don't see 3.0.x?

Transferring songs from a Windows-formatted iPod classic to iTunes on Mac

Hi everybody, I'm curious to see if this is even possible. My husband's Windows laptop died for the second time in three years, so he decided to switch to a Mac after seeing my MacBook last longer than both of his Windows laptops. :o) Anyway, now that the Windows hard drive is dead-and no, he didn't back up his songs to CD-he wants to transfer the songs on his Windows-formatted iPod Classic to iTunes on his Mac. I tried Yamipod, but it said "firmware unsupported" and quit-I suspect the Windows format had something to do with it. He has a lot of songs ripped from CDs and he doesn't want to lose them or have to spend time re-ripping them. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!

same thing happened to me. I purchased iPod Access from the internet (for about $15). This program will let you transfer your music and playlists from your iPod to your library

Windows Formatted iPod Classic Migration to Mac

I have a Windows formatted iPod Classic, and Just got a macbook pro. How can i transfer all my music from the iPod Classic to the macbook?

Hello JDFSX,
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

Problems with brand new ipod classic

I purchased a $245 classic for my son's birthday last week. He opened it, was excited, and went straight to the computer to begin using it. Unfortunately, it did NOT work. I can't really say the problems he was having because he was the one using it. I believe he said that it would not format, and that the computer did not recognize the device as an ipod. He then tried it on his girlfriend's computer and it did not work there either. We called Apple and the representative told us to return it to the store. The store told us that it had to go through Apple (per Apple's orders). We called the same guy back and he said to send it in and they would send us a new one. OK, fine. But now they are saying that it was "undetermined accidental damage" and they will not repair or replace it. The ipod did not work from the moment it was opened!!! I find it quite unfair that we now have a brand new completely unscratched $245 paperweight, and no gift for our son. The website does not give me help with addressing this issue. Does anyone out there have any ideas on who to contact next? The guy we talked to in customer service lied to us twice (first by telling us the store would return it, and second by saying they were just going to ship a new one since he had just opened it). We don't really want to bother with him anymore. Our frustration is unreal. Thanks for any insight you might have.

I can't speak for Apple, and I don't think we could speak to what your son did with the iPod (as opposed to following the setup instructions which I believe are in the box, and direct you to www.apple.com/ipod/start to install iTunes), as when I turned my Ipod Classic 160GB on, it simply booted up and started working. No "formatting" was required.
If you have an issue where a vendor promises you a return, then reneges ... turn all your information over to your credit card issuer or bank and ask them to initate a chargeback. That will get the seller's attention.
That's my $0.02.

Problems using my new iPod classic, says it requires iTunes version 10.7!

I've just bought an iPod classic to store my music collection, but it says it can't be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. (I'm currently running iTunes version 10.6.3) I can't download iTunes version 10.7 because my iMac is running on OS X version 10.5.8. I hadn't anticpated this problem as the iPod classic is a relatively old model, not updated since 2009. I didn't really want to buy new operating software for my Mac as well. Any ideas what to do please?

Whatever you do, DO NOT update to iTune 11. It won't work with iPod Classic.

Audio Problem on Quicktime Pro/Ipod Classic

I just downloaded Quicktime Pro and followed the steps in order to get a video from my desktop to my ipod classic. It looked and sounded fine on my Itunes (Aside from taking forever to convert). But by the time I had to convert it again for my ipod the picture was subpar and the audio was horrible. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

FCE works best with AIFF audio @48kHz. You can convert mp3s in iTunes (DRM prevents use of many iTunes Store tracks in FCE) but they wind up @44.1kHz. It's better to convert in QTPro, as that can give you the correct sample rate.

Windows recognizes iPod classic, but it won't play and iTunes doesn't see

Last week, I was playing my iPod classic on my work computer using iTunes. When one song ended, it was unable to find the next one. Then it was unable to find any songs. (I got the "!" next to the songs and they wouldn't play.) I unplugged the iPod and tried to play it with headphones, but when a song is selected, it doesn't play. Eventually, it will simply reset. I've tried the iPod on several computers, but the result is always the same - the computer recognizes the iPod, but iTunes does not. Any help???? I sure don't want to lose all my music if I can help it.

I have not. Because I use my iPod on several computers and due to limited hard drive space, I have not kept a full library of my iPod's inventory. Because of that, I suspect a restore will delete most of my library. I have just about everything saved elsewhere, but a large number of my recordings aren't in the song database and the track info will have to be manually entered again if my iPod's music files are lost. I will do a restore if I can't figure out another way or if I'm able to retrieve my iPod's files, but have held off on that as a last resort.

Problem with windows formatted iPod on Mac

I have a 20gb 4th gen iPod formatted for Windows. I just received a Mini Mac as a gift and now I want to use the iPod on it. When I connect the iPod and run iTunes it recognizes it and updates and does everything it's supposed to do, but if I try to click on any of the items in the menu on the left (Library, Playlists, etc.) iTunes quits completely and the iPod is ejected. I've tried restoring but that makes it quit, too. I've also tried completely erasing everything from the iPod manually (even the hidden files and folders) but that doesn't reformat it. Any suggestions?

Senuti.
It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
As is Music Rescue.
Both of these should work with a Windows formatted iPod because Macs can read and write to FAT32 formatted drives.

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

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.)

Album Cover problem on 160 GB iPod Classic

Ever since I got this iPod I have had an issue with the album covers showing on the iPod. At first they would show fine everywhere, then they just started showing fine in the lists. Once I would click on a track the album cover would look similar to "snow" that is seen on TV when you are not getting a signal. Now, the only things that have covers on the iPod are songs I bought from iTunes, but any of my CD's I imported do not show up at all even though most of them do have covers when I look at the Cover Flow in the iTunes Library. What can be done to fix this issue?

when you turn down the volume on any apple product to "zero" with headphones plugged in, they assume it means you want the minimum audible volume. if you don't want to hear it, unplug your headphones or just don't push play. it's not a malfunction of equipment, it's operator idiocracy.

Problem with connecting my Ipod Classic 80 gb to a Phillips Portable DVD

I just purchased a Phillips Portable DVD player that I can insert my ipod into.
It plays music, but everytime I go to play a movie it keeps coming up withTV OUT ENABLED, PLEASE CONNECT VIDEO ACCESSORY. I have set all the proper settings
TV OUT - ON
TV SIGNAL - NTSC
TV SCREEN - STANDARD
When I click on the source button it plays the sound but no picture appears on the screen.
Any idea what is happening.
I took the Phillips DVD player back to the store and their technician plugged in his older ipod and it works.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

If you have a new enough iPod, they are now requiring an apple adapter that has the apple computer chip in it to work. I did a general search on the web and came up with better info than here.

Restore problems w/ iPod Classic in Windows Vista

Hello everyone,
I'm having something of a cyclical problem with my 160GB iPod Classic. The iPod has stopped working and displays the message "use Windows to restore" when I turn it on. When I connect the iPod to my computer to attempt the restore, I first get a message in a dialog box that reads "you need to format the disc drive E: before you can use it." When I choose the option to format the disk, iTunes opens and a new windows dialog box opens and offers to format the iPod, but stops shortly thereafter, with a new message reading "Windows was unable to complete the format." This happens when the iPod is in disk mode as well. iTunes does not recognize the iPod, either.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and what needs to be done to solve it?
Thanks for your time.

Thanks, Bilbo.
I ran the disk diagnostic two times and got these numbers:
1st time:
retracts: 114
reallocs: 0
pending sectors: 17
power-on hours: 72
starts/stops: 101
temp current: 26c
temp min: 18c
temp max: 54c
I attempted a restore again, which failed, then ran the diagnostic again:
retracts: 134
reallocs: 0
pending sectors: 17
power-on hours: 72
starts/stops: 103
temp current: 28c
temp min: 18c
temp max: 54c
The only thing of interest that changed seems to be the retracts, but according to the article you linked to, 17 pending sectors seems to point toward hard drive failure. Can you corroborate this?
Thanks again for your help.
