Why doesn't the iPod classic sync properly, and how do I fix it?

Notes
Before anyone mentions the lame suggestion of "Restoring", let me add that I have done that. Alot.
I'm pretty good with computers, so please get as nerdy as you want, just as long as you're only trying to help me.
This disscussion should only be about this particular problem, please refrain from posting you're problems to this (Make your own discussion).
If necessary, contact me via email if you need more information, or have other misc. questions or inqueries.

Additional Details
The iPod works fine after immediate restoration, however, after adding 500 or so songs it seems to quit responding and appears to terminate communications with computer while freezing iTunes. After fiddling around I usually grow tired and unplug it and iTunes quickly displays a message saying to restore the iPod, although it's unplugged... This happens everytime, so it's not a rare situation for me. I've tried repeatedly on two Windows computers and a brand new Mac.

It is hit or miss whether replacing the cameras will resolve the problem. I would first try taking it apart and then carefully disconnecting and reconnecting the camera cables.
Since it both cameras it is likely not a problem with the logic board but still could be.

Why doesn't my iPhoto library sync properly to my iPhone/iPad?

Why doesn't my iPhoto library sync properly to my iPhone and iPad? I have already tried deleting the iPod photo cache. I sync the entire iPhoto library, which includes about 8,000 photos. The Events and Albums never match up, with many missing photos in most albums and events.

Thats is how I did it originally and tried it that way again but it never brings in my library. Now it gives me a response saying it doesn't have correct permissions. I'm the only user on the iMac. I did recently move the library from my old iMac iPhoto with no trouble.

Why doesn't the iPod touch have the A7 chip if it supposedly made for gaming and hardcore apps?

Why doesn't the iPod touch have the A7 chip if it supposedly made for gaming and hardcore apps?

Apple has not released a new model of iPod touch since the A7 processor was introduced. When Apple will, or indeed if they will, is as lllass said not something any of use here would know. We'll just have to wait and see.

Hi
And without info - it's near to impossibly to help. Try my general troubleshooting note:
Troubleshooting note
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
Creating a new User-Account and log into this
This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
This You do by
First - close iPhoto
Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
Thirdly - now select all five options presented
THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
Screen must be set to million-colors
Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)

I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

Why doesn't the CC app work properly?

I've been using Creative Cloud for some time now and am really loving it, however I must say it is a source of annoyance that the Creative Cloud app just doesn't work properly.
Firstly, I used it initially to download all my apps, then after an update those apps no longer appeared in the "Apps" list. Now only those that have been installed since that update appear in this list. Why doesn't the "Apps" list display all of the Adobe CC apps that I have installed on my computer?
Why does it keep reinstalling fonts? I'm always getting "Lush Script Regular" and other fonts being added.
It regularly comes up telling me that Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro need to be updated, but always I get an error, then the update request disappears.
I'm regularly getting 4 files that it can't sync - even though they are the same files as others in the folder. If nothing else, why can't I say "Great, got the message". Also, why is the error message just "due to server error" with no advice on how to resolve it? Why is there a server error on only these 4 files?
It seems to me there are still some teething issues with the CC app, but what I don't understand is why they aren't being resolved much faster, given that this is the portal to the service.
Of course, given Adobe I doubt I'll get satisfactory answers – a little jaded with their responses. Anyway, thought I'd at least post the questions.

Questapo I am sorry you have been facing difficulties with your Creative Cloud experience. I don't believe it will be possible to address all of your concerns in one discussion. I would not be surprised if at least three of the issues are related to the same root cause.
First in order for the applications to be visible are you regularly needing to delete the OPM.db file? You can find this listed as solution 2 in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

Why not improve the iPod Classic?

Why do not improve the iPod Classic from the point of view of speed? The would be enough to put a chip designed specifically for the iPod Classic or an A5 chip that expedite both the iPod. Just a little, and you could even do that more subtle. do something

Since all of us here are only end users like yourself, nobody here would know of such information. Only Apple knows and according to the terms of use of these forums, we are not allowed to speculate. Sorry.

Why won't the iPod Classic 160GB charge with the iPad charger?

I found out the hard way that the iPad's 10w charger which works on my iPad-1 and on my iPhone 4s and on my iPod Touch *does not* work/provide a charge to my 2nd gen iPod Classic.
I had gone to Europe with a full charge on all of my devices, and on the long flight I used both the iPad and the iPod. Once in Spain, I left the iPod in the hotel safe; the phone and iPad were used throughout my vacation, receiving a charge every day via the 10w charger and European duckhead. The night before I left, I plugged in the iPod, knowing that I would need it for the return flight. Imagine my surprise the next day at the airport when I discovered that the iPod was practically dead. Before boarding, I verified that the charger itself (with the European connector) was still working on both the iPad and iPhone, and it was; but as soon as I connected it to the iPod...nothing.
When I eventually got home to the States, I sat down with both the 10w charger and two or three of the many other USB chargers I have accumulated over the years. With the exception of my ancient firewire connector, every single one will charge every single device-----except for the 10w charging the iPod Classic. The iPad will even get a charge from the non-10w charger; it just takes a very long time to get back to 100%. If I could find my 3rd gen Nano, I would try that, but I'm not sure where it is.
What gives here? Why won't the 10w charger work on the iPod Classic??

I finally got curious enough to get a young person's eyes to read the stuff on the bottom of my iPad Mini charger: 5v 1a which equates to 5W using Ohm's law P=IE (E=IR).
So that beng the max charging rate of a normal USB 2.0 port explains (derived from above posts by Bilbo_cheshire and CMJRoss) why that iPad charger does work when some of the larger iPad chargers do not work with the iPod. The current is limited so it does not cause the iPod to sqeal .

Why wont my iPod 4G camera function properly, and how do I fix it?

So, my older sister used to own this iPod 4G but then broke the screen on it, so she got a new iPod 5th generation instead, while my dad replaced the screen on the iPod 4G and gave it to me. Now, ever since the new screen was installed, both cameras would have horrifying quality or wouldn't work at all, because they're always flashing colors like blue, purple, and green, while the front camera might show almost everything in red. At first I thought it was because my sister dropped it on the concrete, but she acctually took a picture after it fell and everything was fine. I wanted to know if a wire might be loose, if it's just something wrong with the cameras themselves, or if my dad might've done something, and how can I fix it. I've already got two new camera that I might try to replace the old ones with, but first I need another oppinion wether or not its worth the risk of having no camera at all.

It is hit or miss whether replacing the cameras will resolve the problem. I would first try taking it apart and then carefully disconnecting and reconnecting the camera cables.
Since it both cameras it is likely not a problem with the logic board but still could be.

Ive been to the ipod store multiple times and they seem to fix my problem every time while im there but once i get home its still there... the problem is that i connect my ipod to the computer and it shows up as a digital camera but wont show on the compu

so my ipod is not operating properly and im tryin to fix it and ive been to the genius bar twice now and when im there it seems like theyve gotten it to work but once i return home my ipod is unable to connect to itunes, the computer picks it up as a digital camera and i can not connect it to itunes... now honestly all i want to do is put some music on there, but the computer wont allow me to do that at all so any ideas?

- Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You can try disabling the camer notification
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
- Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed? That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.

Changed passocde now cant remember it my ipod is now diasble and asking to be connected to i tune but mum has a new laptop and my ipod not synced to this how can i fix my ipod

changed my passcode on my ipod now I cant remember it it asking me to connect to iTunes but my mum has a new laptop and my ipod is synced to her old one witch is not working how do I restore my ipod to the old setting

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I dropped my mac book pro and the screen now has black and coloured lines in the corner. what is it and how can i fix it?

I dropped my mac book pro and the screen has now got a black rectangle and pink and green lines down it. What is it and how do i fix it?

Sounds like the display got damaged. Connect an external display and see if that's OK. If that's OK then the display is probably damaged. You can try reseating the LVDS connector but if that doesn't help the connections on the display body are very difficult to get to. Apple would just replace the entire display and that's what I would do as well.

Why doesn't my Ipod classic 160gb connect to my itunes so's I can back up the songs on my ipod???

All my music is on my Ipod. Have a new computer (Windows 8) with a some music. Want to back up my Ipod (like I used to 4 years ago) to disc and put it into my itunes library and as I add, I put new music to disc. Computer see's Ipod but won't let me do a back up. THE THE **** WITH THIS NEW VERSION??? :^0

There's nothing new about this with the latest version of iTunes. You have never been able to "back up" from an iPod to iTunes. Your music should be in your iTunes Library (and it's the Library that you should have backed up), what happened to it?
If you do have access to the old Library, copy it onto an external hard drive and paste it onto your new computer. Copy the complete iTunes Media folder.
If you don't have access to your old iTunes Library, then your options are to attempt to recover the music from the iPod, or re-build your Library from scratch.
To attempt recovery from the iPod, see this tip from user tt2; https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 which includes a list of software that can help you.
To re-build the Library from scratch, any songs you have purchased from the iTunes Store should be downloadable again. Sign into your account in the store. (Some countries don't have this feature though.)
Digital (MP3) songs purchased through Amazon should also be downloadable again, by signing into your Amazon account. Any other MP3 stores should offer the same faciltiy.
For any music imported from CD, you will need to import it from CD again.

HT1363 why exactly isnt the ipod classic 1st gen compatible with windows7?

when i connect my ipod classic 1st gen to my windows 7 32-bit labtop it says it says one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfuntioned and wndows dose not reconize it.....i have read that the 1st gen ipod classic isnt compatible with windows 7...but why?

clarification needed
if it is the iPod 1st Gen (2001-2002), then it run only on Mac OS 9 and 10, will not run on any Windows machine.
If it is a iPod Classic Rev 1 (generally known as 6th Gen, circa 2008), then it runs on both Mac OS X and Windows XP or later machine.
