What is going on with my iPod classic replacements?

Okay, so I'm on my 4th replacement of my iPod classics. Still having hard drive issues, the songs are skipping the iPod shuts down randomly and it has 0 allocs and bad sectors in the SMART data yet 16 retracts after 2 weeks. I'm also getting excessive vibrations and clicking from the internals all pointin to yet another failing hard drive. I'm furious this was 140 dollar swap for my old dead iPod and every iPod I've had replaced, this being the 4th for hard drive issues. I pointed out the 12 retracts it had on it before even leaving the store to the genius and he said it was fine yet now I'm getting hard drive failure symptoms again. What is going on because I'm so close to writing the attorney general for apple replacing my broken iPod with "new" iPods that I point out to be broken yet these "geniuses" think they are fine

Yep, I think that Genius, deosn't know what a lemon looks like, it is a case of bad lemon sold, since you have already pointed out the bead retract numbers.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod is really beggining to irritate me,wheni finally get apps sent to my ipod touch they are still saying "waiting..." and now the apps picture on all of them is blank and i still haven't dowloaded one app successfully.What's going on with my ipod?

    My ipod is really beggining to irritate me,when i finally get apps sent to my ipod touch thay are still saying "waiting...."and now the apps picture on all of them is blank and i still HAVE YET TO DOWNLOAD ONE APP SUCCESSFULLY! What's going on with my ipod & how do i fix it?

    Have you tried a hard reset of your iPod yet?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If that doesn't work, are you still connected to a network?  Either way try connecting to a different one and downloading another FREE app to see if that helps.

  • What is going on with my iPod?

    Ok so today I was listening to music on my iPod. I changed the song and it kept skipping to the next one, then to the next one. I reset the iPod then it displayed the "sad iPod." So it would not turn back on. I plugged it in my computer, nothing happened. I let it sit for about 2 hours, then reset it again and now it is working fine. What is going on? I had this problem before and I restored it and now I am back to this. Thanks guys.

    Mine is doing the same thing. But this time it won't respond to anything. It responded for about a second when I first hooked it up and showed me the apple icon and the sad iPod icon....and I left it charging for hours with no response this time...I'm puzzled as well....if you happen to figure it out, please let me know.

  • I know about the lack of boxes, but are there any more specific answers from Apple about what's going on for the ipod nano replacements?

    I've been watching the forums for a while now, and I know about the box shortage, but I'm afraid there are still some things that confuse me. It's been almost three weeks since I submitted a request for the first gen nano replacement program. Has anyone else been waiting this long? I admit, it's really frustrating to just have to wait with no word from Apple about when we can expect to recieve boxes.
    I was also wondering if there's been any sort of answer on what the mailed-in nanos are being replaced with. Brand new first gen nanos, new nanos of a different generation, refurbished nanos (first gen or otherwise)? Maybe I've been looking in the wrong places, but I haven't seen a definitive answer. Has anyone completed the whole replacement program who can answer this?
    Thanks for all the help! I was so excited when I first got the email telling me about this replacement program, but it's difficult when everything seems so vague.

    I was also wondering if there's been any sort of answer on what the mailed-in nanos are being replaced with.
    Call the replacement program (phone# is listed) & ask them. 

  • Whats wrong with my ipod classic??

    Maybe someone can help me with my iPod classic 160 GB...
    I have over 25,000 songs in my itunes. I have tried everything: Syncing entire music library, syncing half of it, then syncing in batches of 10GB. I always have the same problem at around 32 or 33 GBs it gives me an error message sayin smething like: cannot sync song "Whatever" error (50).
    I have restored ipod many times,  used different usb ports, read every post on this and other sites. It is always the same it won't sync more than 30something GBs!!!
     Please help because this TOTALLY bites. I only use my iPod for music. I need my jams. Just updated to 11.1.4. ITunes.

    ANY advice would be appreciated.

    Sounds like a hardrive problems. It seem to be the main problem with
    most of the issues that have come up.
    I myself am struggling with my ipod Classic.
    And everywhere I look to figure out what the situation is,
    points to the hardrive. Looks like the best thing would be
    To replace it...
    Apple likes to stick time stamped parts
    that way it works for a while, then craps out
    when you least expect it...
    Good luck man.

  • My podcasts will no longer sync with my ipod classic. Also when I tried to sync in itunes, the category "podcast" disappeared under my ipod listed in itunes.

    My podcasts will no longer sync with my ipod classic. Also when I tried to sync in itunes, the category "podcast" disappeared under my ipod listed in itunes.

    Are you sure your iPod Classic is configured to sync podcasts to your device?  You'll want to double check by taking a quick look at your iPod's Podcast configuration tab in iTunes.
    To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes when it appears to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab. Now locate the Podcasts tab and select it.  Under this tab you can configure how and what podcasts are synced to your device. If you make any changes, be sure to click theApply button in the lower right hand corner.

  • Have iTunes version 10 .3 but do not understand cloud in iTunes 11.03 can someone explain it and also how do you find duplicates in new version and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which I have had for 4 years

    I have iTunes version 10.03 which I love but my iPad Apple mini has iOS 7 but I don't understand the new iTunes what is the cloud shown next to the music and how can I find duplicates can anyone help me navigate the new iTunes and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which is 4 years old

    The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
    In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
    View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
    The cloud icons give you access to stream or download any qualifying past purchases that you don't currently have downloaded to the library.
    Regarding duplicates, things haven't really changed. Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
    Yes, iTunes 11 will support your iPod classic.

  • WhAT IS GOING ON WITH APPLE STORE IS NOT WORKING

    what is going on with the apple store, it is not working.

    Three basic questions (which you may have covered with the customer service people already):
    For your speed of movie download problem, how fast is your internet connection? The movie file is probably about 1.5 GB (much larger than the videos and short films you've downloaded before), which could take 20 minutes to download on a really fast connection (at a University), an hour or so on cable, 3+ hours on mid-range DSL, or a lot longer if your connection is slower than that. 8 hours does seem too long, but it's possible the problem is with your internet service, not iTunes. Your router is obviously not the problem if it still takes 8 hours after you've bypassed it.
    For the iPod transferring problem, does your iPod have the latest software update (v.1.1.2, which came in the iPod Updater 2006-06-28 for Windows)? You can see what version you have by clicking on your iPod in iTunes and looking at the Summary, where it will tell you what version of the iPod software you've got and will let you download the new one if you need it.
    And can you transfer music files to your iPod using iTunes 7 without problems? Can you transfer those old short films to it? Is it just the new movies that won't transfer?
    You wouldn't be the only person to be having problems with iTunes 7 for Windows (I'm one of them, too), but it would be helpful to eliminate the basic stuff before giving up.

  • What's going on with iTunes 7 and Videos????

    Hi! Thanks for reading me.
    Does anyone knows what's going on with the videos in iTunes 7? I use iTunes for Windows (XP Pro SP2). In older versions I used the next sequence:
    File>Add File to Library> I selected my file from my computer (music or video) and everything normal, then from iTunes to my iPod. But NOW! it just doesn't work!
    It is supposed that the video file has been added to library but when I search for it. It doesn't exist!! Sorry to say but, great MAC! something so easy becomes a mess.
    Any help or idea? I already looked for the video in the "Recent videos" and also tried the "solution" to play the video in Quick Time and then export it... The thing is that now Quick Time isn't running! Also a mess, I used not to have problems with the Quick Time, until the "great" new iTunes 7.

    PS I don't know operation system on my ipod classic, but on my mac book pro i am using (11.0.2) my mac os x (10.6.8). So, I try to take a quess at my os my classic

    Holding down the center/select button and the menu button will reboot your ipod. See if that helps. Also, I'd recommend something else- I had nothing but trouble with my ipod classic until I spent $20 to get Mac OS Mountain Lion. It did what you said and sometimes wouldnt play, or wouldnt power on...
    Try rebooting your ipod and let me know what happens and maybe in the future obtain Mountain Lion to aide your ipod in functionality.
    Good luck!

  • I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

  • My new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore

    any ideas on why my new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore?  It used to just show up on iTunes but it's not there now

    iTunes will only transfer music from the iPhone that were bought at Apple's iTunes store. You'll need to use a third party program such as Senuti to transfer music you got from other sources.

  • 2011 Macbook Pro suddenly says no space available on start-up disk (plenty available) and USB drawing too much power (only charging phone). What's going on with my computer? No longer able to charge my iPhone 5.

    Hi, all.
    Two days ago I was using my computer, a 2011 Macbook Pro, and suddenly got the error message reading "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your startup disk will also help."
    I was only using Google Chrome, nothing was running in the background, and I have 443 of 449.25 GB available (this is after clean-up I conducted after receiving the error message, but probably cleaned up less than 25 GB), so there should be no shortage of space. However, the message kept popping up and I deleted a few files and eventually it went away and hasn't reappeared.
    However, last night and then again this morning I have been getting the error message that my USB drive is pulling too much power and has been disable. All that was plugged in was my iPhone 5 on the charger and my computer is also on its charger, so I don't know why this would be an issue, either. I have always charged my phone this way and never had a problem until today.
    I haven't been able to charge my phone since. What's going on with my computer?

    Regarding the USB, see if zapping the PRAM helps.
