If it is six month old, bring it in to Apple Store for the Genius to have a look, they may get you a replacement if it is not water damaged since it is under warranty.

    Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G.  Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch?  Is there a simple solution.  Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

    Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • For the iPod Classic, in settings, how does the volume limit work? After setting a limit, how to re-set to a new volume limit?

    For the iPod Classic, in settings, how does the volume limit work? After setting a limit, how to re-set to a new volume limit?

    This thread - with a quote from an LR4 Beta thread - says that all 6 central Basic controls in PV2012 (Exposure thru Blacks) are now image-adaptive, as were Recovery, Fill Light, and Clarity in previous versions:

    Whether they are suitable for creating a Timelapse sequence without significant flicker is entirely subjective and up to you - and of course, dependant on your specific images & how they change over time.  Sorry, not much advice beyond try PV2012, and revert back to PV2010 if you get too much flicker.

  • When I plug my ipod into my mac it does nothing. any ideas?

    when I plug my ipod into my mac it does nothing. any ideas?

    Try a different USB port on your computer. If your using a PC, the port on a keyboard is not strong enough; plug it into a USB port on the computer tower. 
    Be sure to wait awhile; mine sometimes takes a couple minutes to connect.
    Another tip would be to open i-tunes before plugging ipod in.
    If it still doesn't work, try resetting your ipod by turning the hold button on and off, then pressing and holding the center and menu buttons until the Apple logo shows up. When ipod returns to main screen, plug it into the computer again.
    If nothing works, you may have a bad connection cord.

  • Ipod Classic 160GB dropped dead

    My 1,5 year old Ipod classic 160GB just dropped dead yesterday. Nothing happened to it, I was listening music just before going to theater, I left it on my desk, I came back, it didn't boot up. I've tried to reset it 500 times, nothing works.
    The only way to get the screen to do anything more than just being blank is to connect it to my laptop or pc, with the connector cable. It doesn't function as a seperate harddisk anymore, it can't be reached or found, the only thing it does is showing an apple logo on the screen (like the one in reset) for less then a second, then turning of the screen again, and then showing it again, repeating this process forever.
    I doubt it any of you guys know how to fix this, but has anyone had experience with anything like this before?
    And does anyone know how apple deals with this? Yes I'm a couple of months over my gaurantee, but it can't be possible that a premium brand multimedia player like an Ipod (and an expensive one with that)just drops dead out of nowhere, after 1,5 year of very carefull use? I've never dropped it even once, it has always had a protection sleeve.

    I've had a friend of mine take a look at it today. He runs on a Mac but connecting the Ipod doesn't do anymore then on my windows machine.
    However, when we tried it with a firewire connection cable (instead of the normal type cable via usb 2.0) my Ipod was able to reset and even boot. I could listen to music, browse my stuff and the like, however as soon as I unplug, my Ipod is dead as can be. I've tried to make it charge for several hours with no effect.
    So it seems my accu is dead, but the rest of my Ipod is ok. I'm gonna check what a replacement accu will cost me and if Apple will fund this or if I'm gonna have to pay for the failing hardware at my local Apple retail point.
    *So trying firewire connection cable didn't do much for me apart from knowing that my accu is done for, but it might help others out here.*

  • IPod classic - iPod and iTunes is not recognizing music files

    Here's the problem I am having:
    iPod is saying there is "no music" on the iPod. Yet, when you view the settings and files it shows there to be 70GB worth of data - that is how much music I have. iTunes is also not recognizing iPod either. I also get an error stating:
    "iTunes cannot read the contents of __ iPod. Go to the summary tab in iPod preferences and click RESTORE to restore this iPod to it's factory settings". It's also not reading anything from the Music database.
    This is the 2nd time I've had this error in the past two months. It happened in August - I noticed it had happened as I disconnected my iPod from my computer. The first time was when I tried to eject from iTunes. It said the files were currently in use by another program (I had nothing running, what program?), so I "safely removed" as I would a USB device. The 2nd time happened similarly, though not before iTunes locked up totally and would not let me eject from there. The last time I had this problem, I also removed each file/folder manually from iPod control, to hard drive, and restored iPod, and put them back on iPod. However, this time I am not so fortunate as it gives me an error when I attempt to copy stating either the "parameter is incorrect", or "cyclic redundancy error". Some of these files that are giving me this error at some point during the process have been accessible and working fine, and other times they are not, as I successfully copied five folders worth of data without error, then after I started getting errors with the next folders, attempted to copy one of the same folders into a different directory, which THEN gave me an error. I'm not sure what's going on here, but this is proving to be quite the pain and never experienced these problems with my 60GB iPod, which I did not take nearly as good of care as I have this one - and is still working with all of my original music on it.
    My question is how do I solve any of these errors, and what would be the best course of action to take? I have a 160 GB Classic iPod. Warranty expired (probably) September, and purchased from Circuit City.
    *I DO NOT wish to "Restore" unless absolutely necessary as I have 18,000 songs on my iPod. Restoring this would be cumbersome, and I keep my music on my iPod as I do NOT have the hard drive space to store it with*
    Please help!

  • Ipod Classic-0 KB Free but nothing on it.

    I have a Ipod Classic.  In the setting menu it says 0KB Free but in all other parts of the menu there is no music, podcasts, movies etc.  When I try to go to itunes to reload the ipod will not come up on my itunes.  I have tried all the USBs on the computer. Different wires. I have hard reset the Ipod still nothing.  I have also updated the software in Itunes.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    Check out these troubleshooting guides.

    iPod does not appear in iTunes (Mac).
    If you have your iPod set to automatically transfer songs, right click on the iPod in iTunes, select options and if you have a check mark in the box marked “enable disk use”, remove it and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music. If it's set for manual transfer of songs, then you have to manually disconnect the iPod. You can just right click on it and select eject, or just drag it to the trash.

  • ITunes-- iPod Classic, iPod Touch, iPhone 4 - What to do, what to do....

    Like everyone else, I've been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the iPhone 4. Unlike everyone else, I was disappointed in the release, but only in one respect - I thought for SURE that Apple would be releasing a 64GB model. No go, what a letdown!
    So here is my dilemma...I currently have no iPhone. I have a 64GB iPod Touch 3G that is loaded with some 6000 songs, videos, applications, notes, etc. I actually purchased a 32GB model first, got the error about not enough room, returned it, got the 64GB model. iTunes tells me that I am currently using 49.41GB, of which 27.54GB is music, 16.62 is video, and the rest is incidental. That's a problem.
    I also have an 80GB iPod Classic, which I sync to the same iTunes library. And I have another computer, currently without iTunes.
    You can probably see where I'm going with this...I firmly believe in carrying around every piece of music that you've ever owned, because you never know Either I have to change my thinking, or employ one of several possible ideas that have been thrown out there for me:
    1.) Install iTunes on computer #2, load up all music, sync it to the iPod Classic. Whittle down the current iTunes Library on computer #1 to something less than 32GB, and the iPhone becomes a "greatest hits" music library for me. Probably the easiest road with some obvious disadvantages.
    2.) Back up my entire MP3 library onto external disk, and let iTunes convert those MP3 files over to some lower quality AAC files. I would probably still have to whittle down the library substantially to get below that 32GB threshold.
    3.) Figure out some way of getting one iTunes library to sync differently with two different devices, I don't think it's possible. But I do know that there's some way that iTunes realizes that you don't have enough room and will sync to some sort of "iPod Playlist" if available.
    4.) Pray that Apple comes to its senses and releases a 64GB model before I jump on the bandwagon.
    Anyone have any other ideas?

    With your iPod connected, click on your iPod on the left pane under "Devices." Look at the Summary tab, and you will see the option "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC." Next time you sync, it will place 128 versions onto your iPod/iPhone.
    Be aware that the first time you use this option, syncing will be extraordinarily slow, since it must do an on-the-fly conversion of each song. In my case, the first sync took 9 hours. On later syncs, it will be quicker, since it does not have to re-convert the ones that are already on the device.

  • IPod Classic, component cables, TV, does not work, help...

    I just bought the nifty Apple component cables for my 160GB iPod Classic and it is not sending video properly to my TV. I plug my DVD player component inputs into the TV, it works. I plug the iPod Classic component inputs in and I get sound but a black & white, swirly, barely distinguishable image.... and yes, I have triple checked that the cords are correct, and tried changing them around.
    Could someone shed some light on this? I plugged the component cable set directly into the iPod, so its not a dock issue, and I checked that the iPod is set to NTSC...

    i figured it out a while ago

  • I have ipod classic (about 3 yrs old) and when recharging, everything on it is gone.  When I tried copying the saved/backup items, itunes and ipod were stuck...doing nothing/frozen.  Help!

    I have an ipod classic which I had bought about 3 years ago.  I plugged it into my computer this past weekend to charge and it showed me that there were nothing on it...no music, no movies, no photos, nada.  I had updated the program on my computer and when I tried to reload all the stuff that I had saved, it locks up my itunes and ipod.  It doesn't do anything!  I don't know what is going on....Help!?  Anyone!?  Any clues? 

    Which version of iTunes are you using? (most probably the latest, a lot of this hung iTunes coming in)
    Which iPod software is shown on the iTunes summary screen?
    My suggestion go on Diskmode.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363?viewlocale=en_US
    Connect it to iTunes via a USB2.0 port (For Mac please dont use the Keyboard USB port and for MB, only one USB port is for iPod, the other will freeze your iTunes as the resource bus is shared with other devices )
    Then update the iPod software or Restore the iPod.
    Try to disconnect your iPod from the PC, if you are not charging or Syncing the iPod, or else, some Apps will just trigger a Restore and delete you iPod.
    For Mac users, who has a FAT32 iPod, you may find iTunes Restoring it to HPS+ if you leave it connected overnight.
    For Windows users, some Winsock layer conflict with iTunes will trigger the Restore.
    Good Luck!

  • Ipod Classic in disk mode does not show on desktop or finder

    Ipod Classic in disk mode shows in Itunes but not on desktop or in finder? Can't add any files to it.

    With the Finder as the front most application, choose Finder -> Preferences -> General and make sure there is a tick mark next to CDs, DVDs, and iPods, under the option Show these items on the desktop.
    Any luck there?

  • TS1363 My iPod Classic is frozen. it does not show up when connected to iTunes

    My iPod Classic is frozen. It will not open iTunes or show up when I open iTunes manually. How do I fix this?

    thanks. I followed all the steps but it said that itouch was unable to connect to itunes because a passcode needs to be entered first, but I'm unable to enter the passcode because the itouch is disabled and all I see is the red message Ipod is disabled. How do I get pass this message to where I can access a keypad to enter code? thanks!

  • I cannot turn on my ipod touch. the apple logo appears but does nothing after and when connected to the computer, it is nor recognize. what's the solution for this?

    how to fix ipod touch if it hungs/ does not turn on and stays only on the apple logo when you press/hold the keys home and sleep/wake. and when connected to the computer, it does not appear in the itunes that the ipod is connected or simply the computer does not recognize the device. i barely need you help guys! please...

    I found this possible solution on another support thread, so I tried it.
    turn off iPod
    hold Sleep and Home buttons to start it.
    When Apple appears, let go of Sleep button, but keep holding Home button.
    When screen goes blank, let go of Home button.
    Connect cable and check iTunes to see if it has conencted.
    This did not work for me.
    I then turned off the iPod, restarted the Mac, and restarted the iPod normally.
    I connected them with the cable, and it works like normal.  :-)
