Problems with my iPod classic

Hello, I have a 160 GB, 6th generation iPod classic yesterday still put some new music on my iPod and I noticed my iTunes starts trolling once or twice. When I eject my iPod, all my music, including new music had disappeared. I am currently on Windows 10 and with the latest version of iTunes (there is no other updates for iTunes). I did a few resets (by pressing the middle button and the menu button) in the hope that my music coming back (the only reason I did it is because something similar happened before and do the reset as magically worked to recover all my music) but it does unfortunately not this time. A few hours later my iPod was in the form of logo of Apple and kept free reset and did not go beyond the screen of the Apple logo. I tried to do the diagnostic mode and that has not worked. I also put my iPod mode disc and my computer felt that my iPod was plugged, but iTunes was not opening. When I had iTunes open and tried to connect my iPod (in disc mode) it begins to freeze. Whenever I have my iPod is connected without being in disk mode, it keeps resetting and showing the same Apple logo, screen is grey when plugged in and light when it is not plugged. I even let my iPod die by continuous reset, but that did not help. I even tried to format hoping to restore through iTunes but that didn't work. So now I don't know what to do because it keeps resetting and will not past the Apple logo and iTunes is not picking it up.

Thank you for your time, and if anyone can give any help that would be very appreciated...

  • I have an Ipod shuffle, 1 GB, he thinks that this is the 2nd generation. When I connect to the pc to load, I get "there is a problem with this ipod. Scan to see if there is a problem"is no problem with a sweep. Well, thought, grow old, bought new on

    Amber flashing light is not an indication of a problem.  Light flashing just means DO NOT DISCONNECT - eject the iPod before disconnecting.  It has nothing to do with the load or the condition of the battery.  If you eject the shuffle in iTunes but leave plugged in, the led becomes solid (not flashing).  Full light means OK TO DISCONNECT.  With the light, the color has meaning.  AMBER means battery recharges.  GREEN means the battery is fully charged.

    Concerned about the message and the inconsistencies in charge?

    What is the "inconsistency in charge?"

    NOTE: The shuffle gen 2 cannot use the USB to host port cable supplied with the 4th gen shuffle.  The connector is different between the 2nd and 4th gen shuffles.  Use the original (with stand) cable for 2nd gen shuffle and ultra cable short with 4th gen shuffle.

    This message always appears when you connect two changes?

  • I restored my laptop to factory settings. When I reinstalled iTunes music to my iPod synced with iTunes but don't sync back with the iPod classic. Help why does?

    How to get music on my iPod? Is this possible? Help please I spent hours to try!

    In general try to sync an iPod with an empty library will remove the contents of the device. Except purchases of synchronization is iTunes to the device, even if the purchases can be copied into the other direction. See recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device and make sure that you have really all media stored on the device and not, for example, a display of your purchase history is stored in the cloud.

  • iPod Classic Toyota Camry reading questions

    Recently, I traded in my 2012 Toyota Camry hybrid for a Toyota Camry hybrid from 2016.  In my old Camry I could recharge my iPod Classic while listening on the usb port.  In the version of 2016 of the Toyota Camry, the unit, no fees, but it also constantly freezes.  Is there something I can do to fix this?

    I rent cars often and I plugged my iPod Classic on a lot of different cars and it works fine.  The only time where I had problems with my iPod Classic is in my Camry from 2016.  Help, please.

    You should consult the user guide for the car audio system, to check the list of supported devices.

    NOTE: In systems modern car audio the connected device is as a storage for the files of the song.  Car audio system made the song played, by accessing the iPod as a storage device.  The iPod is not playing through the car audio system.  The iPod performs the same function as a USB at low prices with records of songs, when it is connected to the USB port on the car's audio system.

    If you haven't already, do a Reset (reboot) on the iPod.

    If this does not help, in case there is alteration of the data on the iPod that causes the problem of 'freeze' when the car audio system tries to access the iPod as a storage device, you can do a restore of the iPod using iTunes.  This erases the iPod, reinstall its software and sets it to the default settings.

  • Cannot reset iPod classic after a fall on the cement.

    Cannot reset iPod classic after a fall on the cement. Said to contact apple with a face sad iPod.

    iPod classic 30 GB.

    Tried resetting and it said to contact Apple. The 'do not disconnect' flashed continuously until it empty the battery. An error code came to my office saying I had expelled irregularly. I had not ejected it.

    Any ideas?

    You may have damaged hard drive to the iPod (or other component).  You are able to put it in Disk Mode?

    Put the iPod in disk - Apple Support Mode

    If it passes in disc Mode, run iTunes on the computer and connect the iPod.  iTunes may ask you to do a restore with a message on the "recovery."  If you're OK with deletion of the iPod, tell iTunes to perform the restore.

    If it does not go in Disk Mode, or the restore fails, you have a hardware problem with the iPod hard drive.

  • Apple and iPod Classic music please help

    Hello

    I have an iPod classic which I use for a number of speakers, I am owner and you use in my car.

    I am able to download music from Apple's music in my iTunes and then sync with my iPod Classic? This will allow me to use Apple music with my iPod Classic?

    Any input would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Songs downloaded from the Apple music streaming service subscription have DRM (copy protection) which prevents loading on iPod (except iPod touch).  The computer or device must have an Internet connection to check your subscription music from Apple.

  • 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).

  • fixed a bug with my ipod touch

    Hello. I am writing because I have a problem with my iPod Touch since the installation of ios 9.3.1 (I now use ios 9.3.2). When I open my iPod Touch, I have to go about it several times to unlock the ipod. I try to restore my ios and I reset my iPod Touch with Apple customer service without finding the problem. Anyone have a solution to my problem? I am DISCOURAGED.

    Did you restore factory settings / new iPod (no backup)?

    If you have done this then points to a bug and yo will have to wait for the next update of iOS.

  • My iPod Classic is not synchronized.  error message says file not found

    I've never had a problem syncing my iPod classic.  Yesterday I bought a song at the iTunes Store, and afterwards, when I synced my iPod he removed my entire contents except the song that I just bought.  Error message says cannot be synchronized because file not found.  What should I do?

    First of all, quit iTunes and restart.  Then re-sync your iPod?

    If the problem persists, try disconnecting in iTunes, so that you are no longer connected to your Apple ID.  Your library iTunes music shows still all of your songs?

  • Rented movies don't synchronize with the latest generation iPod classic

    I've been renting movies from iTunes and their synchronization iPod classic for years.  Yesterday, I rented a movie in SD like I always do, plugged my iPod into my Mac, clicked on the iPod when she appeared in my iTunes menu after he was connected, went to the movies, moved the movie rented to my iPod and click sync.  The movie settles on my iPod, the synchronization process lasted about a second, and then the film moved immediately to my Mac.  I thought there may be a problem with the movie, I downloaded, so I rented another film in SD and it's the same thing when I tried to move it to my iPod.  Until last week it never happened to me before.  Anyone with similar problems?  Thank you.

    I guess that there is enough free space on the iPod...  You don't get an error message?

    If all the songs on the iPod (and other content) are stored in your iTunes library, you can do a restore of the iPod using iTunes.  This erases the iPod, reinstall its software and sets it to the default settings.  If there is data corruption on the iPod that causes this problem, restore will fix it.

  • 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...

  • my ipod classic shows a red circle with a cross ared next and will not respond

    can you tell me what is the problem?.

    Dead IPod I'm afraid.

    See iPod displays an icon 'X' Red - Apple Support. Despite the date of the last update of this document, I doubt Apple have much interest in the classic iPod service. The line was removed some time ago. See also Re: corrupted iPod classic. You can try to get the stats, but my guess is that it will fail open player.

  • iPod Classic will not sync with iTunes

    I have a 30 GB iPod Classic model PA002LL. After the recent update, I can no longer sync my iPod with iTunes on Windows. It's not to recognize that the iPod is connect. I have already uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled to see if that could fix the problem, but I had no luck with that. However, the computer recognizes it because it will charge the unit.

    What should I do so that it can synchronize? Thank you!
