good luck - deggie's advice is sound (no pun intended)
be sure and take good care of your "Classic", as it truly is a classic (discontinued) - I have seen new-in-the-box on eBay for ±$499 / 160GB model - used around $150-250

HT5622 My Ipod Classic shows a red circle with a cross in the middle. I've completed diagnostic tests which have popped up, however any HP/FW/Hard Drive tests freeze the ipod, as if the hard drive won't spin. What do I do?

My Ipod Classic shows a red circle with a cross in the middle. I've completed diagnostic tests which have popped up, however any HP/FW/Hard Drive tests freeze the ipod, as if the hard drive won't spin. What do I do?
After holding down the Select and Play/Pause button, I was able to restart the Ipod and then it brought me to a Diagnositc test. I have tried doing both the Mannual and Annual test on the ipod however in each test, the ipod freezes on different access tests. The HP (headphones) test, shows the headphones are detected, but then if it tries to play a song to make sure they work it freezes and goes back to the red cross. I have looked at various other questions regarding the FW cable, however I don't believe i have such a cabel. Then the Hard Drive test freezes up and I can hear a ticking noise coming from the drive but it doesnt seem to be spinning. Alongside these test issues, any computer cannot see the Ipod when plugged in (including itunes). Therefore some tests for the USB drive cannot be completed. I do not recall dropping it badly, though I have dropped it previously. Does all this mean there is damage to the drive? Should I instead take it to an apple store?
Many Thanks

The stats look fine. Try the DFU Restore method shown in Corrupt iPod classic. It may pay to disable any anti-virus software and use the staged transfer method to reload data, assuming you get that far.

IPod Classic shows up in My Computer, but not in iTunes

My iPod Classic shows up in My Computer, but not in iTunes. I've gone through the troubleshooting guide, reset it 3 times and put it in disk mode, reinstalled and updated iTunes and still nothing.

Hey there april_lee!
I have a website for you that can walk you through the troubleshooting steps on your iPod classic. This will help you determine the source of your issue and hopefully get the iPod working for you consistently again. The website can be found right here:

My iPod classic shows that memory full in other category however there is nothing on it. I have left it connected all day and over night trying to restore it but the progress bar never goes away. Is it shot or are there other options to restore to factory settings?

Hi pbworth,
When troubleshooting issues with iPod classic, it may be helpful to place the iPod into Disk Mode. For information on how to do so:

HT201272 When I download a movie I bought on my iPad onto my iPhone it downloads completely but doesn't show up in my videos, what is going wrong?

When I download a movie I bought on my iPad onto my iPhone it downloads completely but doesn't show up in my videos, what is going wrong?

Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!

Another thing is that on Skype, whenever i clicked to sharescreen it only show a complete black out window. nothing else.
Tried restore OSX mountain lion, doesn't work. what should i do?

kaeandcolesmon,
If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
See:
Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

IPod Classic 4th, desktop icon red circle with 'x'.

I've got an iPod Classic 4th, 20GB, which I use with my iMac G5. It works fine, I can add/remove music, and it syncs fine. However, whenever it's plugged in, and appears on my desktop, the desktop icon for the iPod shows a red circle with an 'x' on the screen, the same one you get on your actual iPod when it gives you the message: "Do not disconnect". It's not much of a problem, except the device didn't show in boot preferences either when I attempted to use it as an external HD in order to install panther on a partition. Any ideas what this symbol on the desktop icon could be?
Thanks.

All you can do is try restoring the device. If you are unable to you'll most likely have to get the iPod repaired.

My iPod Classic shows link to support

Hello, I have an iPod Classic 20G. When I turn it on, the apple appears and stays for a few seconds, then it displays an iPod on screen with the link to Apple.com/support/ipod. When I go there, I try to get help with a tech. It asks for my type of iPod and the serial number, but when I enter the information, it says the serial number is not valid. What can I do in order to get my iPod Classic to work again?

Hello justjakk,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPod classic. If you are getting a screen with the /support/ipod link, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

I can't sync all music to ipod classic. shows fault -69 or sometimes -50

I seem to have problem with my ipod classic. It started when i ejected from itunes when it was still syncing and all the files on ipod vanished. After that I couldn't sync at all & couldn't restore. I've updated the Itunes and restored the ipod so it works but it doesn't sync all the music, neither whole playlist it just picks some tracks.
The communications shows it cannot find some files with error -69 or -50 does anyone know what this could mean??? after that it stops syncing.
P.S. I've not moved the music anywhere and the itunes plays everything, what can i do?
Thank you in advamce for help.
Joanna

Error -50 is a connection timeout, when iTunes is trying to transfer huge number of songs to your iPod, see this support link.
It maybe cause by your Antivirus. So if you want to sync safely, disconnect your PC from the Internet, Stop your Antivirus
I would suggest that you split your songs into several playlist of 1000 songs, and sync 1 playlist at a time.
if that doesn't help, then check out this link.

120 GB iPod Classic showing only 111 GB Capacity

I have a 120 GB iPod Classic. Its original settings were restored before syncing it to my library. In the iTunes summary, its capacity indicates only 111 GB available. In the segmented bar at the bottom of the iTunes screen, all segments (Audio, Video, Other, Free) add up to 111 GB. The "Other" category shows only 232 MB used.
What can I do to regain the nearly 9 GB lost?
TIA - mahalo!

You need to complain to the whole data storage industry then. That's how all data storage devices are marketed. If you buy a 320GB hard drive, you are not going to get 320GB of usable storage; you'll come out short by about 22GB. If one company decided to use actual storage for marketing, that company would be at a marketing disadvantage compared to competitors.
An iPod is a data storage device that hold and plays music (and other media).
