Trouble synching ipod classic

hey guys,
I'm having problems with my ipod not synching to my itunes. Itunes registers my ipod but it won't synch. I have rebooted my ipod and I have the current version of both my ipod and my itunes.
Will I lose info on my itunes if I remove it and reinstall it?

Hint elsewhere in this thread solved my issue. Turned off the equalizer on each and every file. Originally, to save disk space, I had put "none" for each file. Then, as I found that I had a tun of room on the 160 Classic, I added the appropriate "Pop, Rock, Classical, Spoken Word" etc. for each track. A few disk back ups ago, I had NOT added the equalizer settings. Couldn't get synched thereafter. Once I removed them--voila! I'm synched! Thanks to whomever posted that info. . .

Can`t synch IPOD classic after 1.0.2 firmware

I just boguht an Ipod 160 GB 2 days ago. Using the firmware 1.0 I could synch anbd load about 1gb of music. The itunes asked me to update the firmware to 1.0.2 and the problems started from here.
After update, the itunes freezes, and ask for not disconnect while the ipod is not synchronizing. If I ask for eject, notthing happens... Tried to delete some repeated songs, and it freezes, just one and it freezes.
in a forum i found a way to downgrading the firmware to 1.0.1 It freezes as well the itunes, of course i think i couldn`t even update the firmware to newer versions...
Any help is appreciated, sinde i`m not in the states

I didn't think the new ipod classics would work with Windows 2000. I quote from the technical specifications:
Windows system requirements
PC with USB 2.0 port
Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
iTunes 7.4 or later
I seems odd that your ipod worked with 1.0.1 then ran into a Windows 2000 issue with 1.0.2 I don't have an answer but it might be worthwhile to ask Apple about this.

Can't synch iPod classic to iTunes after updating iTunes. a duplicate file name was specified.

I can't synch my iPod classic. "A duplicate file name was specified." I tried on two different computers on which it had previously worked fine.

Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from the nominated folder that you have set up to sync photos to the devices.
See iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder for more info.

Itunes cannot synch ipod classic

My Ipod crashed during a Synch, the only way i could get any sense was to reset to factory condition. Now it looks like a new iPod Classic in it's self and it opens itunes when plugged in, but itunes does not list it for synching, can this be fixed?

1. Update iTunes to the newest version.
2. Reboot your iPod for a trial.
3. Restart your computer or mac.
4. Try a different USB cable and USB port.
5. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
6. Try another syncing method: Wi-Fi sync.
7. Reset & Restore your iOS Device.

Trouble syncing iPod Classic after switching from Windows XP to Mac OS X

I'm using an 80 GB iPod Classic (the first iPod classic to come out) and I've had it for a little over two years. Ever since I've had it, I've been syncing it with a Dell Inspiron 1501 with Windows XP Professional. Haven't had any problems since buying it.
I recently bought a 13-inch Macbook Pro, and spent a long time transferring my music from my Windows computer over to this one. When it was done, I formatted my iPod Classic for Mac and tried to sync my library. It works slowly and steadily until the syncing freezes at a random song. Usually after about 700-800 songs is when this happens.
Then my iTunes starts moving very slowly and it's impossible to get the iPod to stop syncing or eject properly. I had to force quit the program and eject the iPod's disc before I could try again. I struggled with syncing in this way about 3 times before I gave up. Now I'm trying to add music manually, a little bit at a time.
However, every time I eject the iPod to see if my songs are getting put on there, it says there is no music. When I go to the "about" screen, it says I have memory on the device, but none of it is music.
I've tried reformatting through iTunes and erasing the disc using disc utility. Anything else I should do?

There are plenty of topics on this very question which gets asked fairly often depending on your search criteria.
Short answer is no.
The OS X license agreement provides for installing and using it on a single Apple branded/labeled computer only.
The only way to install Tiger on a PC is via a hack of some sort and even if the hack is successful, very little on your PC would be supported and the overall performance would not be worth the trouble.
> I was reading an artical and found out that the Mac OS X Tiger already has many of the things that the new windows vista has.
What you read is correct and it took Microsoft 5 years to come up with what amounts to a copy of OS X. I read there are 10 separate/different versions of Vista to choose from? How on earth is the average person (or even the above average person) expected to wade through all that confusing mess?
Apple is getting ready to launch a new OS X version called Leopard this spring which will place Windows even father behind.
If you want to run Tiger and Vista, purchase an Intel Mac which gives you the ability to run both operating systems natively on a single computer.

Do you have trouble with iPod Classic and Ford's SYNC?

Anyone have trouble with Ford SYNC recognizing iPod Classic? When I first bought my Lincoln my iPod Classic worked perfectly--just like it should with Ford SYNC. But a few months ago, when I plug in the iPod using a USB cable I get the message on Ford Sync that says, "incompatible device". At first I thought it was a ford problem so I began testing using a 2010 Buick and a 2010 Lincoln Navigator. My iPod classic doesn't work in either. However, a iPod nano works perfectly in either car. Also if I put some of my music on a flash drive it works fine in the Lincoln. So, I'm convinced that the problem is some type of update that occurred to my iPod or to iTunes.
I have tried several iPod Classics and several USB cables so it is definitely aiPod Classic software problem. By the way, my iPod Classics work fine by themselves--just not through Ford's SYNC.
I'm pretty lost as to possible solutions.
Thanks,

I have done some experimenting and testing with my old Classic iPod that uses operating system 3.1.1. I don't think this operating system has changed. However, later generation iPods such as nano, shuffle that use a different operating system seem to work absolutely perfectly in my 2010 Lincoln Navigator, especially the ones without a hard drive (i.e. flash drive). My conclusion is that the Ford SYNC updates have somehow not been backward compatible with the older operating system. I know this can be attributed to Apple for part of the problem but I suspect that Ford somehow did not do enough testing with the older iPod operating systems. Turns out there are probably 7 or more operating systems on iPods and while you would assume that "backward compatibility" is a no-brainer, that seems not to be the case with second party vendors such as Ford SYNC. Personally, I have given up trying to solve this problem and have gone to flash drive and a "line in" option. My old Classic iPod works exceptionally well, plus I have a spare so I can probably use these thing till "H freezes over". Being a older retired American these things may actually last a life time!

Synch iPod classic with computer

I purchased an IPod Class early last August. Everything was going fine until I changed my computer's ITunes to Apple Match. Now when I attempt to synch my I pod, it only loads about 10% of my music. Is there any way I can synch all the music that is on my computer to my IPod classic? I occasionally take extended road trips and the only way I can keep tunes flowing is by having the IPod hooked in.
Thanks.

Try deauthorizing a few times. Then shut down iTunes, reboot your PC, and then open iTunes back up and again authorize your computer.

Can't synch iPod Classic 80Gb

Help, please.
Have been using iPod without problems for 6 months. Library is on external drive (USB). Normally i have the drive plugged in at the back of the laptop and plug in the iPod on the side port. Today i had the drive in the side port while i imported some CD's and then plugged-in the iPod in at the back. I got "Found New Hardware" & "Your new hardware is ready to use" messages but iTunes said that it had detected an iPod in "recovery mode" and i had to restore it before i could synch. After the resore it said that the iPod was restarting and would soon appear in the side menu but it just keeps going back to the "found iPod in recovery mode" message. I been around this circuit many times with teh same result. Have tried ejecting and disconnecting iPod, closing/reopening iTunes, plugging drive in back and Pod on side, restarting computer. All music gone from the Pod and i can't synch, would appreciate any help available.
with thanks,
Kev.

Apple support supplied the following link which fixed the preblem:

Plugging the 'pod into a different USB port caused Windows to assign a new drive letter to it, unfortunately it used a letter already mapped to a network drive. An easy fix.
Thanks, folks........Kev.

Trouble synching ipod with itunes

Laptop had a virus which ate its way through most things including itunes (everything was gone). PC World have fixed it but after downloading itunes again and synching in my ipod, the only songs/albums that have been synched have been those purchased from the itunes store itself. Songs purchased via a CD or downloaded from Amazon have not been synched back in. Is there any way of getting itunes to take these songs back on board as it is a bit off it only accepts songs purchased from its own store only.
Many thanks in advance

itunes/ipods were deliberately designed that way - only purchases can easily be restored from the ipod. And even that is a fairly recent development; itunes v4,v5,v6 couldn't even transfer purchases easily. It's all about the record companies....it doesn't really stop music theives, just makes it harder for honest folks to recover from a hard drive disaster.
Your best bet is page 3 from this iLounge article:

Major Trouble with iPod classic

I kept finding myself looking on here to trouble shoot with this issue do i just decided to ask straight forward.
A few days ago i was trying to sync music onto my ipod and was getting the corrupted ipod thing so i did some research and found out how to hold the select and menu buttons and proceeded to put it into disc mode and finally was able to reset my ipod to the factory condition. However, now when i try to load my library to the ipod it will do about 200/900 songs and freeze and then i am no longer able to sync anymore music without restarting both the computer and the ipod and by that time the 200 songs it loaded are gone. i have no idea where to begin with this thing and am beginning to get frustrated with the whole situation. if any of you all have any advice or can at least point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it. thank you

Windows cannot read the Mac disk format. Try putting it in Disk Mode first
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
Run iTunes on the computer. Connect the iPod to a direct USB port on the computer. iTunes should prompt you about doing a Restore, to reformat the iPod using the Windows format. Hopefully it works this time...
If it does not work, it is possible that the iPod's hard drive is faulty.

Sync troubles with ipod classic 80 GB Itunes 9.0.3 and mac OS X 10.4.11

Hey,
Since very recently I can't seem to sync my Ipod anymore.
Basically It syncs and I get the message sync is complete but the recently added audiobook isn't on my Ipod and the movies that were on there but are now delete from the library are still on the Ipod. Same goes for the newly added music, it's just not on there?!
I tried: upgrading Itunes, resetting Ipod using control+menu, I tried restoring it to factory settings, I tried pretty much everything (I THINK)
Can someone please help me? you can contact me via stijnvth@gmail(DOT)com

I Have a similar problem after the last update to the iTunes 9.0.3, in my case my iPod (30Gb 2005with Video) keeping restarting and crash on the apple logo point , pressing play + enter for a few seconds it make it go to disk mode, the iTunes recognized it, i used the "disk utility" just to make sure if wasn't a HDD problem and wasn't there , now I'm just waiting to get some juice on the battery to start a few tests. But the "Do not disconnect" symbol is black now instead of red.....
In your case , if some how you are syncing your iPod with 2 different iTunes library (2 computers) this problem can happen , some people iPods get similar problems when using a different software to back up the music from the iPod to the computer, if already you reset it to the factory settings and is not working , please check if your iPod music folder is not been shared with the windows media Player,(if you are using windows) if it is in the WMP option menu select to not overwrite or update the files on the music folder, some friends had a similar problem the files written via the WMP, can be played in the iTunes , but for so how it can not be copied into the ipod, they use the iTunes to manage music and sync with the iPod and the WMP to stream music from a PC via the X-Box360, PS3 or some other "DLMA"(Or something with similar letters) compatible device .
If you could try to Sync this iPod on a friend computer just as a test propose (i recommend the OS 10.5 or 10.6) maybe the problem is not in the iPod ...
Well good luck , still i have to fix my iPod here ......
Have a nice one ....
