backup impossible ipod classic 160 GB in itunes

backup impossible ipod classic 160 GB in itunes

The function of backup in iTunes is only for iOS devices, like the iPhone and the iPod touch.  There is no backup function for iPod Player (such as iPod classic).  All the songs (and other media) on your iPod should exist in your iTunes library, because it was synced to your iTunes library.  Your iTunes library is your iPod 'back up '.

What you save is your iTunes library (on the computer), in the case of your computer (or player) fails.  Apple describes a way to backup your iTunes to complete on an external drive.

  • IPod Classic 160 GB freezes Itunes when connected

    I plugged my Ipod classic to my laptop to synchronize with Itunes and it went through all the processes as usual except at the end he came with an error message saying that the synchronization has failed. I retried the sync and got the same message. I unplugged the Ipod to see it wiped all content except the games. This laptop is configured to synchronize with the original computer. When I plug the Ipod in it now it sends ITunes in a mode of constantly trying to connect and says it is connected to the screen, but when you check the PC it says that itunes does not. The image of the Ipod appears in the top corner but everything is blocked, you cannot click on anything whatsoever or to scroll at all. Once the cursor sitting there in the way of thinking for 20 minutes and then came with this message.

    Unfortunately I can't ITunes to answer so I can not even the Summary tab to restore. Any help would be greatly appreciated I have to travel in two days and really want to go with. Thanks in advance.

  • iPod classic 160 GB will not appear in iTunes

    My iPod Classic 160 GB stopped suddenly appears in iTunes yesterday. He always shows up on my computer, however. I tried to reset my iPod. Then I tried to restart my computer and iPod. Then I tried to update the software from my computer and iTunes. Then I tried to put the iPod in disk mode. Then, I even completely removed iTunes and reinstalled on my Mac. Nothing I've tried has worked.

    Fact the iPod still works correctly as an iPod when disconnected (play songs)?

    Then, I even completely removed iTunes and reinstalled on my Mac.

    Since you are using a Mac, and iTunes is part of the standard installation, how your "remove iTunes completely?  What version of Mac OS X do you run on Mac?

    Then I tried to put the iPod in disk mode.

    Specifically, what happens when you run iTunes on Mac and then connect the iPod in Disk Mode?  What is the iPod screen say when you connect?

  • iPod classic 160 GB says no music after synchronization

    I have an old iPod classic 160 GB that has worked well for years. But suddenly, last week, while he was trying to put in new music (right now I have about 18 000 songs, more or less) he began to have problems with synchronization. After having tried in different ways (and after the restoration, with utility disk and with iTunes), I managed to synchronize all the music. However, it is very frustrating that after all this process my iPod displays "no music" in there. I'm desperate and I need advice because I really want to get it back and listen to music again.

    iPod classic 160 gb / Mac OS X (10.13) / last iTunes (12.3)

    Greetings!

    After a restore, iTunes current assigned to use the parameter manually manage music and videos by default (no Auto Sync).  Select the iPod in iTunes (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar) to show its settings screen in the iTunes window.  The side left (in the sidebar), under settings, click music.  Settings of music from the iPod screen is shown at right.

    Is currently checked the checkbox to Sync music ?  If your library complete iTunes music fits on the iPod, is the ability to synchronize the selected entire music library ?

  • iPod Classic 160 GB, do not sync, Windows 10

    I have an iPod Classic, 160 GB.  I have a HP and spin Windows 10.  My iPod synchronized for months with no problem.  I tried to sync two weeks ago and iTunes detects a connection, but the iPod wouldn't sync content.  I reset the iPod (menu button and Center, lock) as fulfilled and I tried to restore the iPod via iTunes.  My iPod is in charge and short syncs with iTunes, but no content does not transfer to the iPod.  Due to reboot and restore, my iPod is now empty, so basically useless. Does anyone have advice?

    Sometimes antivirus software can conflict with iTunes.

    Can synchronize you one piece or an entire album?

  • IPod Classic does not recognize Itunes library after updating 12.4.1.6

    After (sigh, unconsciously and unintentionally) update my Itunes 12.4.1.6 Macbook Pro, my Ipod Classic is as it does not recognize the Itunes Macbook is the parent library. I made a few additions to the Macbook Itunes playlists, but my Ipod sync... at least do not unintentionally erase all currents (gulp, 157 GB of data) and re-import the entire library again. Is there a way to get around this? I did have this problem - at least I don't remember having it-advance updates to Itunes, where the Ipod no longer recognizes the Itunes Macbook as his home library. I ran a "check disk" on the Macbook and Ipod, and they are both clean, no sign of corruption. FWIW, I use the laptop on Mavericks, OSX 10.9.5.

    Did you have to add your media to the library after the update? See the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library.

  • iPod Classic 160 GB Gen 7 BOTH of PROBLEMS!

    My ipod classic automatically disconnect whenever I connect it to my pc. I checked the cable, it is very good and works with the other iPod and usb port of my computer is powerful enough to manage this device. There are a few points in time where he would connect after many many menu + button select restorations, but this is an unreliable method. In addition, 4 times the ipod says there is no music. I plugged it and itunes could not read music files. When I checked my c: drive he showed that the ipod was all my music on it.

    I tried all kinds of breakdowns, apparently these problems have nothing to do with the drive hard because the diagnostic mode I can check his HDSpecs. I also tried disk mode but itunes does not show that the ipod is connected.

    I'm at my wits end with this ipod. Help, please!

    This type of problem can certainly be linked to the health of the hard drive.

    When disconnected, the iPod still works correctly as an iPod?  In other words, does show the screen menus.  He plays songs (if there are songs loaded)?

    The first step is to get the iPod in iTunes.  When you connect the iPod, watch the screen of the iPod.  It does not say 'do not disconnect' or give an indication that it is connected?  Is it just to show the symbol of battery?  Or not it reacts at all to be connected?

    My ipod classic automatically disconnects...

    Before it 'disconnects automatically", which says that the iPod is connected?  He initially appears in iTunes, then disappears?  Please provide more details...

  • gel syncing to iTunes (iPod Classic 160 GB stops synchronization)

    I have about 19000 mp3 files in my iTunes I try to sync my iPod 160GB Classic (2009). I've updated to the latest version of iTunes and my iPod is updated to 2.0.4.

    The iPod is recognized and synchronization starts as usual and files begin to transfer... BUT iTunes crashes at some random file and stops the synchronization. ITunes basically says it's still sync (but stuck on a single file) and the iPod shows the screen 'do not disconnect - please eject before disconnecting '. It seems to me that the iPod think it's done, but iTunes is still trying to synchronize.

    I have to close iTunes and restart the computer to get iTunes working normally again manually. I can close iTunes, but cannot get it to open again before restarting the computer unless I go into the Task Manager and terminate all the processes iTunes manually. If I have this and go back to iTunes and then start resynchronization, synchronization is completely blocked on the first song, while the iPod does not sync at all.

    If I restart my computer then start again so I can start the synchronization, but the same thing happens again.

    Moreover, I had an iPod touch 3G on this same computer with iTunes and have never had a problem syncing like that ever.

    Here are some of the things that I've figured out and to try to solve this problem:

    • I deleted all the songs (files) in iTunes which can not find the program on my hard drive more.

    • If it freezes, the songs he says were be synced with the iPod are not actually on the iPod. Only 2-3 of the first songs sent when syncing remained on the iPod. Well most of the time. In manual mode, they seem to "stick."

    • I have restored my iPod back to factory settings. Who has not solved the problem.

    • I understand that this has NOTHING to do with corrupted files. The file it freezes on seems completely random (I did about 10 to 15 times) sometimes it freezes as soon as possible and sometimes it freezes later. I also checked to make sure that the files are not corrupt. which is not. I even deleted them from the list at the beginning when I first had the problem.

    • I put it to sync only checked songs and then set only 30 to 50 songs at the time of transfer. In addition to taking FOREVER to sync my iPod (don't be easier?), it can still freeze at random to where iTunes synchronization, but the iPod is not. Basically, it can happen on the song #451 or song #3. The odds of a gel are far less it seems with very few songs at the same time, but it can always happen, no matter how little I do.

    • I tried the manual synchronization... same problem. It will freeze during the update.

    • I have tried different USB cables without effect.

    • I tried different machines slot USB.

    • Reinstall windows... that he has not solved.

    Looks like you did a lot of troubleshooting already.  As the hard drives used with computers, the hard drive of your iPod mini becomes unreliable over time.  So the cause can be the disc is hard not to write data at random times.  Maybe it's not the cause in your case, but it is possible.

    As a test, if you have other USB devices connected at the same time, you can try to shut down the PC and unplug it all the USB devices.  You can leave standard keyboard/mouse USB connected, if used.  In order to put the iPod in Disk Mode

    Put the iPod in disk - Apple Support Mode

    Computer, run iTunes and connect the iPod to a direct USB port by itself.  iTunes may ask you to do a restore with a message on the "recovery."  Tell iTunes to proceed.  Once the restoration is complete, try to do a full synchronization.  If this does not help, please report back.

  • iPod Classic 160 g will not sync

    My iPod stopped syncing all of a sudden after that my iTunes has been updated to 12.3.2.  Tested two USB ports, they work fine. Tested with different cables to connect, even bought a cable new, no connection. What is happening exactly the thing is, I plug it into USB, iPod lights up, says 'Connection' and goes straight to "Ok to disconnect with the bar of down" and passes automatically to my main screen. All the music it still works. Everything works fine with the iPod. He just used to sync my iTunes more. Sound also, somehow, the return for my entire iTunes library.

    Is it configured to synchronize automatically?  Select iPod in iTunes (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar) to show its parameters on the iTunes window screen.  The side left (in the sidebar), under settings, click music.  Right, parameters of music on the iPod screen.  Is the checkbox to Sync music checked?  If it is not checked, your iPod is not set to automatically synchronize music.

    NOTE: When you change the definition of all songs in the iPod that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.

    If the box Sync music is not checked, check it.  Below, if your library iTunes music fits on your iPod, choose the option to synchronize the entire music library.  Then click apply.  iTunes can remove all your songs from iPod and then synchronize your entire library of music back.  If your iPod has a problem with his hard drive, this can cause an iPod that has worked "like what" to will no longer work.  If it works, your whole music library will be on the iPod and iTunes will keep abreast of changes, when you connect (or click sync , if already connected).

  • My iPod Classic 160 GB (2009) will not charge or sync

    Don't charge or sync in my computer, but fresh in iLuv docking station and car with music Radio connector.
    I wonder if the problem is broken pins, I found a place where I can replace the charging port.
    But why the accusations in the iLuv docking station and the connector of the car radio. ? (using a cable not apple)

    Help, please

    Perhaps the connector of the docking of your USB cable is worn out?  You can try a different cable?

    If you've tried that already, are you using a Mac or a Windows PC to run iTunes?  When you connect it, look at the screen of the iPod.  Should I do something immediately after the connection?
