    This article will step you through the process of enabling 'manual mode' on your iPod Classic, which will allow you to sync it with multiple computers without disrupting the current contents of the iPod.

    Do other devices successfully connect to the iPod?
    Does the iPod successfully connect to other networks?
    Try powering off and then back on your router.

  • Why does my ipod classic keep freezing my itunes account

    so i have had my ipod classic for a few years not and i love it. but lately i cannot plug it into itunes without it freezing my itunes all up. i have tried resetting it, ive re downloaded itunes and everything i try doesnt work. i dont know what to do. i really dont want to have to go buy a new one.

    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

    If necessary, post the resultings numbers and we can verify what the next steps to take.

  • Why wont my ipod touch sync with itunes, and how can I fix it

    Key Facts:
    -I have an ipod touch (model number MC008LL)
         -It's probably running the same iOS id did in the package
    -It won't sync (and more importantly update to i0S5)
         -It's not a failed/slow sync, the option to sync as well as all other options under "Devices" is Grayed out
    -I am running iTunes 11.0.4
    -the Belkin cord I am using charges the ipod, and I think it was the one I used to sync it before.

    You have a 3G iPod and those can go as high as 5.1.1.  What exactly happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and try to update via iTunes? You need iTunes 10,5 or higher on the computer.
    After you get it updated see if syncs.

  • Why wont my android phone connect with my iPad

    I have an android phone on Orange (UK), and although the phone is recognised and paired with my iPad, it continually gives me the error message, "Cannot connect!"
    My iPad doesn't generate a passcode, so I have tried to option of manually entering a code, both without success.

    Are you trying to connect them via blue tooth? If so it won't work. the bluetooth mainly supports keyboards or speakers.
    or are you trying to tether the iPad to the phone and make a mobile hotspot to get the iPad on the phone's generate wifi?

  • I was given an 80gb ipod classic formated with mac os. Is there any way to connect it to my windows pc so I can transfer the song to my library?

    I was given an 80gb ipod classic formatted with mac os. Is there any way to connect it to my windows pc so I can transfer the song to my library? When I try to connect to my pc I get a message asking me if I want to format the drive. I want to try to save the 15000 songs that are already on the ipod. Any suggestions?

    The iPod and iTunes are designed so that you cannot transfer music on an iPod to another iTunes Library. This is because the 15,000 songs do not belong to you and you have no legal right to keep them.

  • HT1320 why does my iPod classic freeze up when i plug it in to my computer

    why does my iPod classic freeze up when i plug it in to my computer

    It's not a "fix," actually.  If that is a 4th gen iPod connected using USB, you need to do what it says and plug it in to the white square power adapter that originally came with those models.  Later Apple power adapters should work; third-party adapters may or may not work.  It has something to do with voltage.  The USB connection to computer does not provide the required voltage (although it's obviously fine for normal syncing and charging).
    If that iPod is connected to a FireWire port, it apparently provides the required voltage, because that step does not come up during the Restore.  That model was a transition between iPod connecting to FireWire and connecting to USB.  Earlier models required FireWire.  Later models only used USB.
    If you don't have an adapter, and there is an Apple Store nearby, I guess you could take it to the store's Genius Bar.  I'm sure they have a power adapter there, to complete the Restore.  (Just don't let them re-do the Restore on a Mac, if you use a Windows PC. Different storage formatting.)

  • Ipod classic compatible with Vista Home Premium 64 bit

    Hi,
    Is the Ipod Classic compatible with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit?
    I found out the hard way that the Itouch is not!
    Greetings,
    Miguel

    If I could I would answer your question.
    But I do not know how I did that.
    Itunes has been working since day 1 on my 64 bit machine, only problem is that it takes half a minute to copy album cover art to song in itunes, the computer is hanging for 15 seconds before the album cover art is copied.
    I just took the Ipod out of the box and connected it to the computer and it worked fine.
    Only problem that I had yesterday is that when I'm intergrating album cover art my hard disk is doing strange things.
    Just yesterday, my RAID 1 was corrupted by Itunes, first hard disk 1 was failing and an hour later hard disk 2 also crashed.
    Was able to reconnect them into RAID 1, luckilly.

  • Ipod classic connects to Itunes for a few seconds, then disconnects. Cannot sync!

    Help! I have followed all guidelines to uninstall Itunes and related software many times in the past two days. I have reinstalled multiple versions (downgrades) - none have worked. I have tried disabling processes, running Windows in safe mode, and running Itunes in safe mode. I have tried reinstalling the driver. All with the same result.
    My ipod classic connects to the computer, shows up as a USB drive, and shows up for a few seconds in Itunes. As soon as it shows up in Itunes, the ipod screen says "synchronizing" (I do not have it set to auto-synchronize), then it immediately says "ok to disconnect." At this point, I can click the ipod icon in Itunes, but anything I try to do says the ipod can't be found (because it ejects itself when it's picked up by itunes).
    I have tried resetting the ipod (not restoring) and I have tried to connect it under a different user on the same computer with the same result. At first when I reinstalled itunes I kept getting error messages or obvious problems with the install, but I finally got what seems to be a clean install without any error messages of version 12.0.1.26. All the other version 12's gave me ituneshelper64 dll errors. Any earlier versions and I can get my library back in, but it isn't correct.
    I have a Sony Vaio running Windows 7 64-bit. I used my ipod many days a week to listen to books and music on the road. Please help!

    Indeed. I forgot about them. Thanks.

    No, the iPod classic has no means of connecting to Wi-Fi, thus making it incompatible with iCloud.
