• 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...

• iPod Classic 7th gen Shuffle play Question

  A week ago, I was playing random songs on my iPod through shuffle. Today, I used shuffle and the same exact songs to play in the same order of a week ago... The iPod's battery die since then, so it was restarted. I find it weird that this happened. I was just checking to see if anyone has had a similar experience. This is not the first time that I've lived this BTW.

  Thank you.

  Under certain conditions, I can cause my iPod repeat a sequence of songs in shuffle mode. For example, if the third or fourth in a sequence random song and I press the "back" button a few times to return to the first song, repeat the sequence.

  Consider this:

  random playback of the songs actually means "to randomly choose another song", and yet it is in fact very difficult for the same a real computer to generate a random number because computers operate on a regular and predictable. Even if an iPod is a computer, it is nowhere near as capable as a full specification and I suspect that the mixed songs are actually a hidden playlist (or two), who (s) get updated when the iPod is synced with iTunes. It could explain why some users report seeing the same songs being synced over and over again, even though they have not played against them.

  Even if I say 'playlist', it is more likely to be a list of numbers, stored on the iPod that are used to select the next song "at random".

  So this isn't a bug, it's just a limitation of the power of an iPod. Are two things that you can do (well, three actually!);

  1. When you use the iPod, start your random game with a different song. The first song was a 'number' and this number dictates what "random" list is used. Every list is different.
  2. Sync your iPod with iTunes frequently as this will be the time that hidden on the iPod playlists are revised.
  3. Accept the status quo. (Okay, I'm being facetious...)

  It is a theory so I may be wrong, or even be shot down in flames (but only by more experienced contributors), but I don't think that this will never change as iPod Classic software is unlikely to be updated now.

• I'm told my iPod classic is not compatible with the latest version of iTunes and I need to buy a new iPod

  I have an iPod classic, 160GB, 2009 (I think that I bought in 2011, but they say it's a 2009 version).  I took good care of her, and it worked wonderfully for me.  Recently, with the latest updates of my OS, iTunes, etc. on my MacBook, I got the iPod synchronization problems.  This last time I tried, the iPod has not been recognized by iTunes, or it would be recognized and switch between connected and synchronization, but never go further.  Finally, if I left it long enough that, it would eventually be sync, but then he would go back and forth between sync synchronization, connected and finishing.  After leaving he did that for a while, he would finally come with an error message saying that the iPod could not be synchronized.  Then my iPod was erased at all to this subject (everything is always on my iTunes at least library).  I tried to restore my iPod, which she did, and then synchronize everything again.  He went through the process of synchronization, only to say in the end could not be synchronized.  Sometimes my iPod not even be recognized by iTunes.

  So I called Apple Support and they told me that my iPod software is not compatible with the iTunes software.  Both were up to date, so I think I 2.0.4 on my iPod and 12.3.2.35 on my iTunes.  Apple told me that I can't go back to an earlier version of the iPod software because I have no iPod backups on my iTunes.  Therefore they told me the only solution is to spend $ 400 on a new iPod, which I can't afford to do it, nor have you I feel it's a reasonable solution, since my iPod is perfectly good and I was very careful care of her.

  Is there anything that can be done to make the two compatible?  Can I download an older version of iTunes?  I'll be able to get my most recent iTunes library on the older iTunes?  Should not continue making it compatible, the iPod classic and iTunes since so many people use iPod classic, and they are the only thing like him around?

  I looked in the other forums on the topic, but nothing seems to talk about this compatibility problem and provide a solution.  Someone at - it ideas?  Can you manually manage your music on your iPod, even if the two are not "compatible"?

  Thank you!

  So I called Apple Support and they told me that my iPod software is not compatible with the iTunes software.

  Seriously...?  My 'classic' 3rd gen iPod in 2003 still works fine with the latest version of iTunes and the latest OS X.  Even the original iPod should still work (assuming the iPod itself still works).  Your iPod classic 2009 is certainly consistent.  That support the needs of the person coming back through training...

  When you connect it now, it seems in iTunes?  Are you able to select in iTunes, go to the settings screen, where you see the iPod photo and name in the upper left corner of the window and a box below that?

• IPod Classic compatible with EU Boom 2 via the Jack audio 3.5 mm?

  As far as I know, the sixth Gen iPod Classic should, theoretically, work with the EU Boom 2 via 3.5 mm audio cable "male-male". Can anyone confirm their experience that this is the case?

  I have no experience with that specific product, but if it has a standard (cable) analog audio input auxiliary iPod headphones (and more), is a standard analog audio output.

• IPod Classic reeked havoc on my iTunes!  Help!

  Can someone help PLEEEEEAASSSSE?

  I kept my iTunes library on an external hard drive Lacie for recent years.  From time to time I simply opened my iTunes library, music new dump in and re - sync my iPod classic.  A week ago, I did this and got an error during the synchronization.  The iPod is really old, almost complete, but still works.  Nevertheless, I had to stop the sync, restore the iPod and regain sync.  I did it and everything was fine... or so I thought.

  A night or 2 later I went to play a song on my iPod and noticed he wasn't there.  In fact, a very important (and random) part songs were gone from the iPod.   I went into my iTunes library to check and found a large number of songs with the red exclamation points.  I am aware of what that means and has been able to reconnect broken links which gave me about 200 songs which did not work.  The rest seems to be completely DISAPPEARED from my library.  If I go into the files of the album all that remains album files work... NO SONG NO FILES.  I did a spotlight search of title on the HDD for the songs and nothing.  What the * happened?  Miss me him more than 2000 songs.  Very random too.   Some albums have half songs left, a few 1 or 2, some not at all.

  Even weirder, is that if I connect to my iTunes library that sits right on my macbook (which is much smaller, but it shares some of the same songs) on a song/artist will play for that whole part of the alphabet.  For example, the song "Blue Sky" of The Allman Bros plays almost each piece separately in the section "A" of my library.  We go to a Beck song for all the songs of 'B' and so on.  Something bad happened?

  It could be my madness, but I swear yesterday as he tried everything to flow back to the previous libraries to change my main media folder location, which for a second that I did something that made all these songs to work again.  While I had that on the screen, I selected all the good work tracks and thrown on a flash drive to dump if all goes well in to my iTunes corrupt and all library set. I did, and none of the tracks that I've just spilled on the flash drive appeared.  A bunch of other tracks were there, but they were the songs that I didn't need to fix.

  I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

  HELP PLEASE!

  Since this problem noticing, you have restarted your Mac?

  iTunes, media synchronization is from iTunes library to iPod, so it is unlikely that the iPod "reeked havoc" on your iTunes library.  More likely, there was (existing but undiscovered) on your external drive and sync data corruption caused the problem on the iPod (a week ago).

  Run disk utility, select the disk volume (indented under the player) in the disk utility sidebar.  Click first aid.  You can also do the first aid with the drive selected in the sidebar, but a problem is more likely to be detected by checking the volume in this case.  You can also check the internal drive of the MacBook.

  You use Time Machine to backup your user data?  If this isn't the case, you are using other backup methods, such as cloning?

• My beloved iPod classic has stopped working

  Hello, everyone!

  So, Yes. My dear iPod classic is sadly passed away after almost 8 years. I don't know what to do.

  I'd really like to have your opinion: it is better to change the hard drive? Someone has already tried with an iPod classic?

  I would really like to continue to use it, because it is simply the best.

  Thanks in advance!

  If 'iPod classic' means that it is a 5th generation iPod (first one that plays videos) or later version, this website has interesting information and products to replace the bad hard drive with commonly available as a card flash storage compact flash or a SD card (on an adapter).

  https://www.iFlash.xyz/

  I haven't used those specific adapters with the 5th generation iPod later, but I have improved my 3rd and 4th generation iPod even older in a similar way (using different cards).  We now have the SD card and you use the card compact flash.  With the new battery (replaced at the same time), the two work better now with higher storage capacity than when they were new.  From my experience, SD cards are cheaper compared to the compact flash cards of the same storage capacity.  And SD cards are physically smaller.

  If your iPod "classic" is 4th gen or more (like mine), you can post back for further information.

  The hardest part is open the case without causing damage.  This web site has illustrated the repair guides (and there are also many 'how to' videos on YouTube).

• iPod Classic and TV displays error

  So I have an old iPod classic that I recently started using again, but he seems unable to sync the TV shows that I own. It can sync music very well, but even with sync settings, the 'all TV shows' value, it may not. When I try, the iPod is as there is nothing to synchronize. Even more curious, I got a movie and some clips on it since the time and they play well on the iPod.

  The shows are certainly downloaded on my system, and I can read on my PC. I found some old tips recommended I download an "iPod Version" of the show, but I can't find any option like that.

  I have a Windows 10 operating system with iTunes 12.4.3. The iPod is running version 2.0.5.

  Hey there RockDHouse,

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! From what you describe, you have problems of that sync TV shows that you bought your iPod classic. I'll be more than happy to provide you with information for troubleshooting.

  It is possible that the file format of the TV shows that you are trying to synchronize is not compatible with your iPod. Some older iPod models are only able to sync and play the SD versions rather than HD check this article from support for more details and suggestions:

  Take care!

• IPod classic 5th generation has no audio headphones.

  IPod classic 5th generation has no audio headphones, but it can play songs via computer, when connected to the computer. IPod recognizes when earphones are plugged and hold when deployed switch. Is the likely problem the headphone jack or a material issue of motherboard. I could try a correction to the earphone Jack, but a motherboard problem is a totally different animal. Would appreciate some advice from someone who had had the same problem and solved the problem.

  I guess you've proven the headset with another device. Y at - it no suspicion of audio if you push the plug in one way or another? Who could confirm that it is just the plug that is damaged rather than anything else. The taken switch headphone jack Assembly is relatively cheap. I've done several outings permutation of these two classic battery of 5th and 6th gen. The hardest part is the case open but there are guides online that explain the steps.

• iPod 4th Gen No Boot

  Hey guys,.

  My iPod (4th gen classic monochrome, 20 GB) and iPod the same a friend both have the same problem - no start. Once connected, it only ever turn hard drive and display the logo of Apple for about 10 seconds and then off for a second, and restart. Resets hard doing nothing. Anyway to solve this problem, because most of my music collection is (including a few songs that I for some reason any more inside iTunes)? I also saw this: does not work frozen on the apple logo , but the link in the answer and it's for a 7th Gen iPod.

  Thank you!

  The most likely cause is a faulty hard drive.  Did you do a Reset (reboot) as described in this document?

  Learn how to reset your iPod - Apple Support  (see iPod with a click wheel)

  If he continues to restart on its own, see if it passes in disc Mode

  Put the iPod in disk - Apple Support Mode

  If she goes into Disk Mode, connect it to your computer with iTunes does NOT.  If iTunes picks it up, it can invite you to do a restoration, which erases the iPod.  If you can get it to appear on your computer (except iTunes) as a USB storage device, you can unload your songs.

• Change the battery in the ipod classic

  MY ipod classic quickly loses its cgarge. I have changed battery?

  I doubt that Apple are interested in the performance of such a service, but you could ask at your local Apple store. The part is available online for some $/ £ if you want to do it yourself, or there may be third party repair outfits that can do the job for a price. I change several classics of 5th & 6th gen. The hardest part is to get the case open, but there are videos that explain the process.

• question battery iPod classic

  I bought a refurbished iPod video on ebay from a store that sells it to the left and to the right and had good reviews.  He supposedly has a new battery and a hard drive.

  When I disable and the value to the bottom of the stack is still dead when I'll be back in a few days.  Is this normal?

  I have a nano, but I've always had that connected when I used it so I don't know how long the battery lasts when it is off.

  A few days?  The battery charge level is down when the iPod is not used, but it should still hold some costs "a few days" If the battery is new and of good quality.  After a week or more to sign out and not used, it can be more normal than the iPod battery for not having a strong enough to propel upward charge.  Make sure that you did not leave the iPod playing songs (in library shuffle mode).  Sometimes I do, and then find the iPod completely drained battery.

  Also, I'd be suspicious of the claim that the hard drive is 'new '.  It may be again (as in not previously used), but those components are no longer produced, while the remaining stock tends to be expensive.  More often (especially for older lower capacity below 160 GB), they are recovered on the used iPods work records.

  Additional note: these days, the best way to replace the hard drive in the iPod is to use a commonly available (and affordable) card Compact Flash or SD card (on the appropriate adapter).  This web page has information for the 5th generation and later "classic" iPods

  https://www.iFlash.xyz

  I don't have a 5th gen iPod, but I made the equivalent mods on my old 3rd gen iPod 4th gen iPod and iPod mini (using different cards), and they work better than when they were new, with much higher storage capacity.  The mini iPod went only 4 GB to 64 GB...!

• Smart playlists are not updated on Ipod classic

  I have the latest Ipod classic 160 gb (7th gen?) with a couple of smart playlists on it. These selections are not updated on the fly on the Ipod. I don't know if they're supposed to, but I guess that if. They are updating on iTunes but I shouldn't need to sync to update the smart playlists, otherwise, they are not so smart than that.

  Any help? Thank you.

  Smart playlists act as regular playlists on the iPod.  They are only "smart" (automated) in your iTunes library on the computer.  When you sync the iPod, the changes you made on the iPod, like song of note or play counts, syncs to your iTunes library.  Update Live immediately updates your smart playlists properly, and they are synchronized to your iPod with all changes (during the same synchronization).
