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 .

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.

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 is the iPod classic so slow?

I was playing with the iPod classic at the Apple store and it ran slow. The iPod touch runs fast. My old iPod video (5th gen) runs slow. Why doesn't the iPod classic run as fast as the iPod touch or not any faster than my old iPod video? I thought Apple cared about a fast easy user experience like on their iPhone. Don't people complain about Android phones running slow? The iPod classic is so sluggish it's annoying. Why do they want their iPod classics to run slower than an old Zune?

Well, it could just be that the processor in the Classic doesn't like the particular video you were using, although I did base my answer on your first post, which said I was playing with the iPod classic at the Apple store... . As far as I know, in-store demo videos are not included on purchased iPods. So your decision to purchase was presumably based on your tests of it in-store.
It's still a matter of "you makes your choice - you pays your money".
My choice was to stick with my 160GB Classic for it's capacity, but to buy an iPod Touch in addition, for it's other abilities (including widescreen for videos, compared to the Classic). I realise that's not an affordable option for many people. But it was my solution.
Maybe that's why Apple provide choices.

Why no FM tuner for the iPod Classic?

Hi
I've been considering making the big conversion from PC to Mac for a while now (heard good things from my sister and suffered through Vista for 4 years) BUT my conversion hinges upon my music collection which is currently 18gb (and the majority of it transferred from my CD collection). Therefore I'm only thinking of an iPod Classic. My current mp3 player (Creative 30gb dino that's not compatible with Windows 7) has an FM tuner which is essential. The iPod Classic does not.
Why doesn't the iPod Classic have a built-in FM tuner like those miniscule you'll-lose-it-in-the-wash iPod Nanos? Are they just trying to keep the Classic classic? Would putting the FM tuner in a Classic not fit, even though it fits in 16gb Nanos?
I won't ask if they're going to put in one because that's speculation and from what I've read violates the terms of questions one can ask here.

You might still be able to find Apple's iPod FM Radio Remote accessory, or a third party alternative.

Why is apple taking the iPod classic off the shelves

Why are they taking the iPod classic off the shelves.

Usually when a product line is discontinued it is due to low-volume of sales. Not enough demand to justify the investment in manufacturing.

I have recently got a new windows lap top and transfered by itunes library to it successfully. i cannot however sync downloads to my ipod classic and my lap top is not recognising the ipod at all. Please help ! Thank you.

I have recently changed lap tops and moved my itunes library successfully.
However I cannot now synce my ipod classic with the new windows pc.
The lap top is not recognising the ipod.
I have spoken to apple and they think its a settings issue on my pc ? I have fully deleted and then reinstalled itunes .
can any one help ? This should be easy to resolve but appears to be a common issue when looking on the web.
Thank you

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

HT1459 Serial number is faded and too small to read. Itunes will not recognize my IPod Classic. How can I delete the current iPod software and reinstall it to see if this would solve the problem?

I recently upgraded my Itunes softeware, now itunes will not recognize my IPod Classic. If I delete the current IPod software and reinstall it, would this solve the problem, and if so, I'll need step by step instruction.

Yep.

Why does my lightening wire not fit the ipod nano 7th gen

Could someone tell me why does my lightening wire now not fit the ipod nano (7th gen)? I push it in but it seems to spring out and not fully connect. I only bought it 1 year ago and it is been great, but now I think it needs to go in the bin

I agree, sounds like there's something in the port on the Nano. Try cleaning it out with a can of compressed air, or a gently with a wooden toothpick.

I need a Metronome for the iPod Classic

Hi all,
I own an iPod Classic 6.5 G and as an musician i would love the iPod being capable of helping improving my skills and tempo feeling with a simple metronome.
The click in mp3 format is, for me, a very incomplete solution, and I really don't understand why Apple is not developing such a little piece of code, that nowadays is included in every crappy cell phone.
As an iPod Classic costumer i feel a bit abandoned, just seeing how many nice apps are developed for ipod touch/iphone and how poor is the offer for the ipod classic.
A small effort for a huge community of thankful musicians.
Regards

Huh. I've never seen a metronome on a standard cell phone.

Open Request to Apple: Time to update the iPod Classic

I do not have a question. What I have is a request.
For years, I, like many people, have relied on MP3s for my music. For the longest time, I thought an MP3 playing through my car stereo sounded great. However, times have changed and so have stock car stereos.
I recently purchased a used 2008 Volvo S80 and the stock stereo system sounds unbelievable. Sure, there will be people who will laugh when they read that statement, but it is the truth. When I heard how awesome it sounded, I loaded an MP3 and an Apple Lossless version of my favorite song onto my iPhone and listened to both. The difference was so shocking that I have been redoing my entire collection in Apple Lossless.
I have read several reviews about Apple Lossless songs on the iPod Classic. The only reason I even considered the iPod Classic was because it has a huge amount of storage. However, I read about Apple Lossless songs skipping because the cache in the iPod Classic is not very large. I also read that the DACs in the iPod Classic don't hold a candle to the DACs in the iPhones.
I understand Apple seems to be focused on making extremely small electronics. I have no problem with that. However, a revamp of the iPad Classic is in order. Yes, I realize the iPod Touch offers improved DACs and can likely handle Apple Lossless songs without skipping. Regardless, having a max capacity of 64 GB doesn't cut it. Additionally, I don't need the fancy touch screen, camera and apps to play music. That is why I have an iPhone. Next, Apple Lossless songs are HUGE and for good reason. An Apple Lossless album is even bigger.
My iPhone is maxed out. The time has come. Surely with Apple's cash, there is a supplier who can offer increased flash storage for the iPod. FLAC support would also be nice for those who don't want to be locked into Apple Lossless (which doesn't work well with other software).

Hello sevendustweb,
Apple does not read these posts or threads. You would be better off leaving them feedback on this page.

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

What happens when the iPod is plugged in? anything? any errors?
Why is 50GB of music gone? All music should exist on the computer. Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

Why not improve the iPod Classic?
