• 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 80 GB volume will not go up

  Our 80 GB Classic is no longer opens in iTunes and disk utility in OS X shows that the volume doesn't go up. The iPod has been managed manually on several of our computers over the years, and the last backup was performed age there is.  DiskUtil is unable to repair the volume, or it will make a restore disc image.  It will be possible to retrieve all data from it?

  See corrupted iPod Classic. You can access the stats from HARD drive and if so what are they?

• 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.

• IPod classic has fallen and now ask restore

  Long story short, my ipod has fallen on the ground and immediately after that he was asked to restore through itunes. I connected it to my computer and itunes crashes completely and ask the screen of the ipod do not disconnect (as well) - I own an ipod classic 7th generation 160 GB I do not know if it's the hard drive makes or even battery issues to deal, but if anyone knows if I am able to do repair a large help - thanks

  Since this happened after a fall, it is more likely to be a problem with the hard drive.  Try to put the iPod in Disk Mode

  Put the iPod in disk - Apple Support Mode

  Then plug it into your computer running iTunes.  If iTunes picks it up, he may ask you to do a restore with a message on the "recovery."  Let the restoreiTunes.

  If the iPod does not go in drive Mode, or the restore fails, the hard disk of the iPod is likely to be defective.

• iPod Classic keeps restarting. Already tried several solutions, I can find.

  My classic iPod keeps restarting randomly. Sometimes he can play for a few hours, other times its a few minutes.

  I got it over a year and he had a spare battery rise (by Apple), in December, but no problems until this week.

  When I plug in my laptop (Windows) it gets usually recognized and appears in iTunes but usually disappears iTunes but says still 'connected' to the screen.

  So far I have tried:

  -Reset the iPod. (sometimes it's very slow)

  -Restore iPod to the factory via iTunes settings.

  -Check MP3 files for MP3 Diags with MP3val errors. Deleted everything that could not be repaired.

  -Put the iPod in disk and search mode of disk errors. No error found.

  Is there anything else that I could try or nobody knows what could cause this problem? Thank you.

  Take a look at Re: corrupted iPod classic. If the device cannot read the part of a multimedia file, it can skip to the next track, but if he struggles to read other data that may cause a reboot.

• need stop synchronization before finishing to avoid ipod classic remove

  I've updated to itunes version 12.5.1, as well as Windows 10.  If I let my ipod classic finish syncing, everything on the ipod is removed.  So I have to restore the ipod in disk mode so that itunes recognizes the ipod and avoid itunes gel settings.  I found the only way to keep my music is to stop synchronization before it ends or the entire contents of the ipod is removed, and I'll have to go through the process of restoring ipod to factory settings again.  During synchronization, I disable the Windows 10 firewall and anti virus as Apple support told me that it could interfere with itunes.  What is - this with the finishing of sync that removes my ipod?

  It's weird...  Hard drive it is possible to the iPod becomes unreliable and is damaged during the synchronization process.  What happens if you set it up to only synchronize a small number of songs, instead of "all"?  For example, on the settings screen of music from iPod in iTunes, rather than choose to synchronize the entire musical library, choose the option to synchronize playlists, artists, albums, and genres, and select only a SINGLE album.  These songs always get deleted at the end of synchronization?

  My ipod classic (I have the serial number) that I bought in 2007, was stolen from my room, Marriott Seattle Waterfront.  Can I use find it my ipod have a this old?

• I have a iPod Classic 30 GB. I have a new macbook pro and I managed to put my iPod, but now I can't synchronize my iTunes to iPod. What should I do next?

  iPod Classic does not sync with iTunes on MacBook Pro.

  If "reset" means you did a restore on it (to erase it), after the restoration, the iPod is set by default to use the parameter manually manage music and videos] .  If you expect not to sync automatically, you need to Sync music.

  Connect iPod and to find his button on the device to iTunes.  The screenshot below shows the left upper corner of the window of my iTunes, iPod button circled in red.

  

  Click this button to display the settings of the iPod summary screen in the iTunes window.  Along the left side, in the sidebar, under settings, click on music.  Parameters of music from the iPod screen to the right.  Check the box to Sync music.

  NOTE: For anyone else reading this, all the songs of the iPod that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.

  This enables automatic synchronization.  You can choose to synchronize your entire music library or a part of the selection .  Implement this screen as you want, and then click apply to sync iPod.  Further, iTunes automatically keeps iPod "in phase" with the changes in your music library (or the selected part of it), when you connect the iPod (or click sync , if already connected).

  If this isn't the problem, thanks for posting back with additional details about your situation.

• iPod Classic does not appear in iTunes

  My macbook release 10.9.5. iTunes (version 12.1) does not recognize my iPod classic Model # MB147LL version 1.2.2PC. I tried to reboot, reset, update, but it will not recognize to sync the iPod. My computer recognizes the iPod but not iTunes.

  The latest version of iTunes (12.5.1) should work on OS X 10.9.5.  Is there a reason that you are using an older version of iTunes.  A classic iPod should work with even older versions of iTunes, but there may be a problem with the specific version you have (fixed in a later version).

  If update does not help (or if you don't want to update iTunes), given that the iPod is recognized by the system, it seems to have a data connection.  Try to put the iPod in Disk Mode.

  How to put your iPod in disc - Apple Support mode

  Before you connect iPod, stop (power off) MacBook and disconnect all the USB devices.  Plug the MacBook power adapter (so it does not work on battery).  Startup MacBook, launch iTunes and connect the iPod (in disc Mode) on a USB direct on MacBook, by himself.

  If he picks up iTunes, it should invite you to do a restore with a message on the "recovery."  This erases the iPod, so if you're OK with that (because the content of the iPod is in your iTunes library), do the restore.  If all goes well, the iPod appears in iTunes (normally) after the restoration.

• I called Amazon to try to recover the serial number of my old iPod classic two weeks ago, and they gave me a kind of account; They pronounce it account 'seen - It '.

  I called Amazon to try to recover the serial number of my old iPod classic two weeks ago, and they gave me a kind of account; They pronounce it account 'seen - It '. I don't have to ask how, because I thought I knew, but I was wrong. Would what type of account be? And how it's spelled? The name of the account is a tiny s followed a 7-digit number. (Of course I will not type the numbers.)

  I would go to a forum for Amazon, because they can be better equipped to answer a question on their system. If synchronize you the device with iTunes, the number can be there in the backup section.  Find the serial number of your Apple - Apple Support product

• 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.
