Trouble with ipod classic!!!

Hi all, i am having trouble with my ipod and i hope you can help me
I have a 80gb iPod classic and i am updated to the latest version of itunes. When i plug in my ipod, itunes stalls for a minute or two and when it finally comes back, itunes does not notice that the ipod is plugged in but it is shown on my computer and it says connected on my ipod. if anyone could help with this problem it would be a big help. Thanks.

Having EXACTLY the same problem on a 160 Gb model.
Win7 also asks for checking IPod for errors and recovery (answered NO).
Just bought 2 days ago my very first iPod: not bad as a start... :-/
(Weren't Apple products supposed to be hassle free?)
Thanks in advance for any help

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!

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 ....

Problems in compatibility of iPod radio remote with iPod classic 160 GB

Hi all,
I have just bought a iPod classic 160 GB and want to buy a iPod radio remote as well. However, after I have done my research, I find the radio remote is not compatible with iPod classic perfectly…
Do you think it is a good idea for me to wait a new radio remote (maybe) or later Apple will release update?
Thanks

I use my Radio Remote with a Classic; it does everything that it had with my 5G-Video EXCEPT it will not allow me to set radio stations, either with the Radio Remote's control or the iPod's control.
I have spoken with an iPod specialist (Apple Care) and according to him Apple has acknowleged less than 100% compatibility/functionality with the Radio Remote and the Classics. One of the reasons, he stated, was that several 5G-Video iPods were "getting fried" when the Remote was not fully connected to the docking-port. So Apple has decided to reengineer the port [for better a connection, I gather]. What puzzles me the most about the new generation of iPods is why they were rolled out without warning customers that their Car-Charger, Video Player, dock, AV Cable, or APPLE'S OWN Remote will not play nice with each other!
This go around, it's find out the hard way.

Used wrong charger with ipod classic, now it wont turn on, displays the low battery icon even though its connected to the wright adapter

used wrong charger with ipod classic, now it wont turn on, displays the low battery icon even though its connected to the wright adapter.
Can anyone help ?
please?

WHow long have you left it to charge? Have you tried resetting it after a short period of time to see if that can help jumpstart the charging process? To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Ios 7 not compatible with Ipod classic

Ever since Itunes updated to IOS7 my Ipod classic that has been completely reliable for about four years is now unable to sync. I get a wide variety of responces from itunes while trying. It says the disc is not located, compatable, or sometimes it pretends to sync but only about 20 songs out of my 8,000+ songs were synced. I've tried everything from restoring (about 8 times total), trying to fix any bugs through my windows7 on the device, and only attempting to put on certain playlists- only to have the same results.
I do hope that the Apple people know of this problem and are trying to resolve it because I would be very irritated to find that I can no longer use my Ipod. (its 160 gig)
-If you know of anything that could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

iOS has nothing to do with the iPod Classic, it is used on the iPod Touch and iPhone.
Your Classic uses firmware (the operating system) 1.1.2. Nothing whatsoever to do with iOS.
I suggest you have a browse through the Classic discussions and iTunes discussions for anything concerning problems with iPod Classic syncing, as I have noticed a few posts on that topic. I have not experienced any issues myself with my iPod Classic, running 1.1.2 for PC.
Since there has been no update to the iPod Classic's firmware (operating system) for quite a while, the problems that I have noticed in the discussions, that mention partial Playlist syncing, additional songs not being synced etc. are more likely to be associated with updates to iTunes, which is now on version 11.1.38.

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.

Hi,
   I ran into this a few months back... and ultimately i posted some how-to's on here... but basically something got botched with the isntallation... and what i learned thru pain was that un-installing and re-installing wasn't enough because the un-install process did not remove (registry entries, files/directories, services, ports, etc... in order to make for a clean reinstall).
   I also learned that the downloadable software does not have all of the framework needed for communication. So I had to find my original install disk and i had to go thru a very painfull (30min to 1hr) search and destroy registry mission... and other software removal steps. Once i got the software off completely and re-isntalled the sol man software worked without issue on detecting and finding the device and using the software.
    Now since then i read in another article (you can find it)... that HP provided a 2nd more advanced removal tool... but I'm not sure how well that works...
    Again if you search for my posts i think i put everything in there that you need to do.... and i do agree that I will never by a nother mid grade small office printer from HP... hardware is fine but software support and workability is complete *#&%)#&

ITunes won't sync with iPod Classic

Hi Helpful people,
Sorry to ask the same question as a lot of others but nothing seems to be working.
I have a 60GB iPod classic and I'm running iTunes 10.6.1.7
iTunes detects my iPod device.
In the iPod summary I have open iTunes when iPod is connected ticjed and sync only ticked songs and videos ticked.
I have tried sync'ing like this and with both unticked.
I have triied sync'ing from this page and also the File drop down.
The best I have achieved so for is it saying it is sync'ing but I don't get the usual message at the top of sync'ing 1 of 5226 or whatever that I used to.
Any tips from cyberspace?

Hi elleestgemma,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to use this article to confirm that iTunes is set up to sync automatically:

Itunes 10.6.1.7 will not sync with ipod classic. When is Apple going to fix this!!!!

After upgrading to the latest version of iTunes - 10.6.1.7 my iPod classic is not recognized and I cannot sync it.
The iPod does appear as a drive on my computer (with Windows XP). The screen message syas the ipod is corrupted. Did a disk check on ipod in disk mode and tried again. No success.
I've gone through the steps for troubleshooting;
It worked fine before I upgraded iTunes and I'm at a loss on how to fix this.

Try the steps listed on the linked pages in the answer below you up to the restore part. If it looks good, trying doing a System Restore in Windows XP to the day before you upgraded it, reverting it back to the older version of i-tunes. But, if something in the previous steps points to a hard drive issue, this won't help you.
Regards,
Brian

IPod Touch Compatibility with iPod Classic accessories

Hi,
I'm considering buying an iTouch. I currently own an iPod classic and have the car charger/player, camera connector and wall charger. Is the iPod Touch compatible with these items?

if you have an iTrip with the power supply for the car, i can most assuredly confirm they do work, i had an ipod 5th gen, the first video and i just got the touch, the wall charger should also work b/c it is the same size as the itrip, as for camera, i have no clue, hope this helps

Purchased games will not work with iPod Classic 160GB

I purchased the original seven games (Bejeweled, Cubis 2, Mahjong, PAC-MAN, Tetris, Vortex, Zuma) offered by Apple when they were released for the 5th generation video iPod. That iPod has since died and been replaced by a iPod 160GB Classic. Like all of my purchased songs, I expected my purchased games to be compatible with my iPod. The games in iTunes are only listed as compatible with 5th generation iPod. I was happy to discover that there is a Check for Updates button at the bottom of iTunes so I assumed that all that I needed to do to be compatible with my new iPod is click on that button. Nothing seems to happen though. With the exception of Vortex which seems to no longer be available, all of the other games currently posted in the iTunes store show that they are compatible with the iPod Classic. It would seem evident that the Check for Updates button would address this issue. Why don't I see anything happening when I click on the button? I know that I must be doing something wrong since all of my purchased songs did not need to be repurchased to be compatible. I am guessing that I could repurchase all of these applications to make it work but I do not think that would be fair nor does it sound correct.

in another discussion I read that you are supposed to rebuy the games from itunes store
I am having the same problem with my new 120gig classic

Need help with iPod classic/Alpine stereo deck interface

Hey All-
I have installed a brand new Alpine CDE-143BT stereo deck in my car. I have a 160gb iPod classic that I connect and control via the iPod sync cable, directly into the USB port on the deck. I currently have 113GB of music on the iPod. The deck is less than 4 months old, and the iPod also has the most current software on it.
When I do an alphabetical search for Artist, Album, etc. I have noticed that not all of the letters in the search take me to that letter group. For example, when I do a search for "D" it goes to "The Crystal Method"; "M-T" it takes me to "The Kinks", and so on. It seems to be worse with an Artist search over Album search.
Any suggestions?

If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
If not, there are a few programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
Keith's iPod Photo Reader Mac only
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
