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

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...!

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • IPod Classic intermittent not recognized by iTunes on Windows 10

    I have an iPod Classic which, until recently, has been working fine on Windows 10 via iTunes.

    Recently, he has started only not to be recognized by iTunes when I conect via USB.

    I keep trying different USB slots and that cures the problem - for about 2 days.  It is not reognised again.  I'm running to different locations to try USB!

    I bought a new 30pin to USB cord in the last 2 weeks.

    I just uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes (an hour ago) and the same inability to recognize on an 'old' USB slot has occurred.

    I checked my installed programs - I Apple Mbilé Device Support installed (to 28.0 MB), but the icon is gray - should it be?

    BUT well, click on my PC-> selecting Manage-> expansion Device Manager-> expansion Bus USB controllers, I don't have an Apple Mobile Device USB Driver listed.

    I have (twice in the last month) resorted to reset the iPod and lose all my music on it and then copy back to iTunes (I manually synchronize)

    Please - what can I do to fix this?

    Exclude you a bad USB cable anchor to buy a new one.  You tried multiple USB ports.  You have reinstalled iTunes software, and it seems that it works pretty well (and quite long) to do a restore and then sync everything back.

    You have a lot of other USB devices connected at the same time?  If you do, it is possible that your PC does not provide enough total power of bus for all devices at the same time.  Perhaps the iPod question began when you added a new device.  Sometimes, all devices are not drawing full power (as if the battery of the iPod is supported against when it is fully charged), and that's when the iPod connects very well.  And at other times, he has not enough power.

    As a test, turn off the PC (power off) and unplug all USB devices, including hubs.  You can leave standard keyboard/mouse USB connected, if used.  Do a Reset (reboot) of the iPod (hold the Menu and Center buttons at the same time until the Apple appears in the display).  Starting the PC and only connect the iPod to a direct USB port on computer.  Use this way for a while, to see if there is a difference.  It also tests the possible interference between USB devices.

  • 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

  • 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).

  • is it possible to mix a playlist on ipod classic?

    I have several lists in memory on my classic ipod but do not know how to mix songs on a single reading list. When I select it shuffle shuffles all the songs stored on the ipod which is all my mixed together playlists. Am I missing something?

    Hi alex8199,

    Thanks for your question.   If you want to mix all the songs in a single playlist on your iPod Classic, you need to activate Shuffle for songs.   This will be random songs in an album or playlist you choose.

    Do this select Menu > settings > Shuffle.   Press the Center button to toggle your options and choose songs.  Press and hold the Menu button to return to the main menu.

    Now, go to your playlists, choose a playlist and press play.  You should see the shuffle icon in the upper right of your screen, and only the songs in the selected playlist should play.   If you do not take a specific playlist, all the music on your iPod classic will be mixed.

    Alex, take a look at the iPod Classic User Guide for more information.

    Have a great day!

  • 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 classic is frozen

    My IPOD classic is frozen, after being connecte3d in a car. He says OK to disconnect, but no reaction

    Try to flip the switch hold several times, then press and hold the Menu and Center button Select 20 seconds in order to get the device to reset. If she is not reset, let the battery run flat and aren't only when no sign of activity, put it on charge. It can then start normally.

  • iPod classic does not cool

    I just bought for my old Mercedes C300 universal media Interface, and it came with iPod Classic.

    It's OK then that plugged into the car / wall usb, but it does not cool (it will immediately stop after disconnect), and it cannot load (power lights, flashing screen) where to connect to the computer / macbook.

    I thought that I should replace the battery. But I can solve this issue another way?

    Chances are that a new battery will be called for. They do not last forever.

  • Stay at random - 1st generation (2001-mechanical wheel) iPod classic

    Hi all

    Thank you for taking the time to read my post here. Informative advice would be greatly appreciated!

    After 15 years of daily use, the girl begins to show its age. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

    Question

    • iPod will perform a hard reset to random occurrences
      • The music is played -
        • does not appear to trigger reset.
      • Battery levels -
        • does not appear to trigger reset.
      • Travel / SHOOTING.
        • does not appear to trigger reset.


    Background

    • Everything is original, inside and outside (including the battery).
    • The iPod firmware is 1.5

    Hard to believe that the battery still holds its charge, but the 1st and 2nd generation iPods have physically HUGE batteries compared to the models later, and they are the lithium - polymer (compared to the lithium-ion battery), then maybe these factors makes a difference.  More your "daily use", which is better for a battery, compared to is not used for long periods.

    (Did you ever) a restore of the iPod using iTunes?  In this case, I really HOPE your profile information is up to date and you use an old PowerBook with Leopard, with a REAL FireWire port.  This erases the iPod, reinstalls his old man but the latest software (which should be version 1.5) and restores the default settings.  If your version is iTunes 10.6.3(the latest version for PowerPC Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8), you should be able to connect to the Apple servers and download the iPod software (if not already downloaded).  This old version of iTunes is less likely to cause problems by doing a restore on your iPod, although it should always work with the latest version of iTunes.  The restore button is on the recapitulation of the iPod settings screen in iTunes.

    If you have never done a restoration during the 15 years following the purchase (which is amazing), he gives the iPod a new departure, at least for its embedded software.  If the problem persists after you perform a restore, the cause is more likely to be a hardware problem.

    This problem of "random reset" never happens when you play the iPod when it is connected to the FireWire adapter?  If this is not the case, the cause may be related to its battery.  He can still hold a charge, but it can be worn out and weak, and not to feed enough current, which causes the random reset.
