Endless restore loop ...
I have a 30 GB iPod classic from May 2006. I'm stuck in this infamous loop that I've experienced once before. It's terribly frustrating and sad, and I've tried most solutions I've seen across the web. I've changed drive letters, updated software and iTunes. When this happened a few weeks ago, the problem turned out to be a song I downloaded was a bad file. I deleted it and then the iPod synced. But ok - here's what's happening exactly.
-Played iPod. Wouldn't respond. Tried to restart but came up with "Connect to iTunes to restore."
-I connected it to iTunes and I restored the iPod. My iPod is cleaned out and it has it's factory settings, but it won't come up with the normal "Name your iPod" screen. It just says it needs to restore. Therefore I can't sync anything.
I'd rather not download an old iTunes or take off all of my music - simply because I have two backup drives on my computer, so my music is very scattered.
I'm probably just going to resort to buying a new one, because I don't think the newer ones have this issue...
But if anyone has any input, I'd appreciate it.

Volume Issue with 5th Gen 30GB ...
Lately, my iPod has been having weird volume issues. When I listen to it through my earphones or on a speaker system, it seems like the track volume is much louder than the singer. Sometimes, the background music is so loud I can't hear any of the words to the song. Does anyone know if there is a way this can be fixed?

Podcast Playlist Not Syncing with ...
Hello all, I am having a weird issue and I hope that someone can help (or at least commiserate). I had been syncing a smart playlist that I created for new podcasts in iTunes 8 just perfectly with my 5G iPod (on Windows 7 PC). A couple of days ago, I upgraded to iTunes 9. Everything works as before except my Podcasts playlist is now empty on the iPod. It is not empty in iTunes 9 (has three episodes) and I am syncing all audio content from my library (not select playlists or anything like that). The playlist shows up on the 5G iPod, it is jus empty. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

iPod keeps pausing and fast forwarding ...
I will select a song.
When it starts playing, I will browse my other songs. The second I leave the page of currently playing song, it automatically pauses and I will have to un-pause it so that the song can continue playing.
And sometimes, when a song is playing, it will fast forward itself 5-8 seconds at a time to the next song.
What is the problem here? Thanks in advance.

My 5th Generation iPod died the other day. I attempted to restore it using the menu center button technique, but a message came up telling me to connect to my computer in order to restore. I went home and did just that, however the message "Cannot restore Error 1428" came up. I attempted to restore it a few more times before giving up. Since then my iPod has died since I have no way to charge it because my computer won't read it as connected. If anyone has any information as to how to fix this problem it would be GREATLY appreciated. I feel as though my first born child has died. Thank you!

5th Generation 80GB sync too slow ...
I have an 80GB 5th Generation that was working fine before itunes 9.0. Upgraded to itunes 9.0.1 and there is no change.
Everything appears normal it just takes forever to sync. The sync wheel barely moves. If I just drag and drop one song into a playlist, it will take about an hour to sync. It finally finishes, but a complete album sync would take 5 hours. It is obvious that this is an itunes 9.0 problem as I have had no problems with this unit until 9.0. I would just buy a new one with a large drive (Classic 160 GB) since my 5th gen is 4 or 5 years old now, but I have read in the forums that the classics are having problems with 9.0 too. Does anyone have a resolve with the slow sync?

I recently bought a new HD receiver for my truck (JVC KD-AHD59) which has iTunes tagging. I am not able to use iTunes tagging with my 5th Generation iPod w/ Video. JVC claims this is not supported by my iPod. I have not been able to find anything that can explain to me why it is not supported. Of course I am running the most recent iPod software and version of iTunes. I am assuming it is a hardware limitation, but would like a definite answer to make sure the problem isn't with my HD receiver. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!

The screen stays black all the time, you cannot hear the disk drive or notice anything else. Plugging the usb cable doesn't have any effect either. Since the iPod doesn't even turn on, it is also not noticed by the OS at all.

Could a new backlight option be added so that I can program my iPod screen to stay lit while it is playing whilst it is connected to an iPod Dock. While my iPod is connected to its Dock I can either have the backlight on all of the time, whether it is playing or doing nothing, or only for a few seconds after I have issued a command with the Apple remote. It would be convenient to have the option of having the screen lit all the time that it is playing whilst connected to the Dock, when power consumption is not an issue, but off when the iPod is idle (when I am not listening to it) or after a delay when it is not connected to a Dock.

The Impossible Problem ...
So, here's the deal.
My Ipod has been working fine for about 2 years now, until just recently. I've experienced no problems up until TODAY. My Ipod wouldn't turn on. I tried doing the menu select button thingy; no effect.
So, I plug my Ipod into a USB and try turning it on. It turned on, displayed the apple, then quickly shut off. So, I tried doing the menu select combo while it was plugged in; the apple stayed on the screen a little longer, but it shut down eventually as well.
Then I try to put my Ipod into disk mode. I do all of the required steps SEVERAL times; I do the slider thingy, menu select combo, quickly followed by the select play/pause combo. Nothing appeared. It just shut down again before anything could occur. I don't even see a glimpse of the "check mark" that signifies disk mode has been activated.
I have a 5th gen 80gb Ipod; and to the extent of my knowledge it's up to date.
~~~~~~ADDITIONAL NOTES~~~~~~~~
Ipod will try, on its own, when plugged in, slider away from the headphones (unlocked), to turn on. It flashes to the apple for literally half a second, turns off, then flashes again
During this process, the Ipod will occasionally mutter some sort of noise, but I can describe it is that it's like a computer having difficulties reading a disk (somewhere along those lines).

Internal Speaker/ Head Phones ...
I have a read a few discussions on this topic and it seems that there are a few people who are having this same issue.
It seems as though the earphones will not connect to the ipod. When you play music, the internal speaker constantly plays, and it seems like the earphones want to play. (it sounds like the jack is not in all the way, and it plays really soft.) And with the radio, it require that the earphones be plugged in to pick up the stations. Well, no stations will come up because it ask that the earplugs be plugged in. Is this just a problem with my particular ipod? Thanks.

I have a 60GB 5th Generation iPod. A few weeks ago it was working fine. It has no damage, it operated like it was suppose to and charged like it's suppose to. I used it all day one day and it died on me before I could make it home to my charger, when I got home that night I plugged it into my wall charger and the screen said "Please Wait. Very Low Battery". I decided to just let it charge while I was sleep, but the next morning when I grabbed my iPod it STILL said "Please Wait. Very Low Battery". It wouldn't turn on at all, and I had the problem the whole day. I read through all the Apple Discussions related to my problem and tried all the suggestions.
-Toggle Hold Switch
-Reset the ipod (Multiple Times)
-Try Disk Mode
-Re-Install itunes
-Try a New Wall Charger (the adaptor thing)
-Try USB Port on Computer
-Try USB Port on another Computer

iPod 5th gen producing no sound output ...
My 5th generation iPod Classic is having the same problem that many in the forums are discussing in that it is not producing output when docked nor through the headphone jack. I experienced the same problem that is described by many on this support site: at first static, then sound would come in and out, and now nothing whatsoever.
My question is, what is Apple doing to reconcile this issue that apparently a large amount of customers are having with this model iPod? I purchased mine in early 2007 so it is out of the original 1 year service plan, but still this seems to be an overwhelming problem, which indicates a significant defect.
Has anyone come across a solution that Apple is providing for those of us who have this model iPod, who are also out of warranty?
I would love to continue to use this machine.
Thanks!

Internal Speaker/ Head Phones ...
I have a read a few discussions on this topic and it seems that there are a few people who are having this same issue.
It seems as though the earphones will not connect to the ipod. When you play music, the internal speaker constantly plays, and it seems like the earphones want to play. (it sounds like the jack is not in all the way, and it plays really soft.) And with the radio, it require that the earphones be plugged in to pick up the stations. Well, no stations will come up because it ask that the earplugs be plugged in. Is this just a problem with my particular ipod? Thanks.

My new iPod ...
I have had an 8-gig iPod Nano 3G (please bear with me, this is about the 5th generation Nano) for about two years now and have been nothing but pleased - for the most part. I downloaded nearly 1600 songs onto it and spent a great deal of time making sure that the track info was correct and matching each track to the appropriate cover art. A few months ago I made my first purchases from the iTunes Store and have had trouble ever since. When I tried to sync my iPod after that hundreds of songs in the Library would not register and many others had their artwork deleted on the iPod. I tried several times to restore the missing tracks and information, but each time I tried Sync or just to recharge the same deletions would occur.
Finally I decided to start fresh and this past Friday I bought a brand new 16-gig iPod Nano 5thG. When I tried to sync it not only did I get the same missing tracks and artwork in Library as before but the new unit will only download 483 tracks - the same 483 tracks every time. Apple does not seem to have assistance for this problem in their troubleshooting or customer service sections; before I have to return my new iPod and blacken Apple's name across the internet can anyone out there help me?
Thank you

Video Podcast question... ...
I have a bunch of video podcast tutorials that I subscribe to via the iTunes store. For whatever reason they do not show up on my iPod at all. I have to watch them on my desktop. Even if I right click the clip and choose convert to iPod or iPhone, it still does not show up.
I was hoping that I might be able to put in a blank DVD and burn them so I can watch them on my laptop wherever. My iTunes library is on my desktop computer. So that idea failed to work.
The way I can watch these particular video podcasts is on my desktop computer or if I send them to my Apple TV they will show up and I can watch them elsewhere in my house.
Are those my only options? Same question for Music Videos. I have downloaded close to 90 music videos through the iTunes store. Will I ever be able to put them on a DVD?

Unable to delete Podcasts ...
I am manually synching music to my IPod Nano. With the IPod disconnected, it lists 6 podcasts under the Podcast category. However, when plugged into ITunes, I can't find these 6 podcasts in my IPod list to delete them. I found three (which I want to keep), but can't find the other 3. Any ideas? Can you delete any content directly from the IPod (I don't think you can).
Thanks for any help.

ipod not recognize by iPod Hifi, ...
Hi, I'm facing a strange pb with my iPod 5th gen late 2006. It works very well with iTunes and in my car (on a Dension system), but my iPod Hi-Fi did not recognize the ipod, neither a Bose Sound dockstation. I also check with an iPod Hifi at a mac reseller, but it still didn't work.
It doesn't seems to be a hardware pb because the iPod works well on my card (dock connector) and with my Mac (connected with a usb cable).
I wonder what is wrong with my ipod. Oh, I also have an iPod Touch that works very well on both the iPod hifi and the Bose station..
Any help will be appreciated (i already have tried to reset/restore settings...)

Annoying little problem. ...
Hello everyone,
One quick little thing I'd like to ask.
Has anyone had an issue with your iPod restarting when you attempt to plug it in?
I mean today I go to plug my iPod into my computer, everything seems fine it switches to the do not disconnect screen and then it restarts. I unplug it I try to turn it off and it restarts. Now I can't turn it off and every time I plug it into my PC it just loops over and over it goes to the do not disconnect screen then restarts it's self. I plugged in a friends iPod it works fine. So what the heck happened to my iPod?

fixing my ipod... ...
I'm set on repairing my ipod. I know that there are several internal problems an ipod can have. But I also know you can order parts to replace. I've done enough pc and small electronics repairs so I'm confident I can do it. My question is, what's the best way to figure out what exactly is wrong with my ipod? Are there software diagnostic tools I can use?
Here's what it won't do:
Turn on
Screen won't show anything.
Connect to my pc after plugging it in
What is the most probable cause?

Hi, I just purchased the new Beatles Remastered CDs and replaced my old files on my iPod (60gb). In the process of replacing the files, I changes the files from 128 kbsp to 192 kbsp. Now when i play these files on my iPod, they cut off at about 2/3's the way through the song. In trying to correct this I have restored the iPod to it's facory settings twice and the songs still continue to cut off before they should. Are there ghost images of the old files on the iPod that are causing this? any suggestions or help would be appreciated

How can I fix my problem? My Ipod Just ...
I have a 60GB 5th Generation iPod. A few weeks ago it was working fine. It has no damage, it operated like it was suppose to and charged like it's suppose to. I used it all day one day and it died on me before I could make it home to my charger, when I got home that night I plugged it into my wall charger and the screen said "Please Wait. Very Low Battery". I decided to just let it charge while I was sleep, but the next morning when I grabbed my iPod it STILL said "Please Wait. Very Low Battery". It wouldn't turn on at all, and I had the problem the whole day. I read through all the Apple Discussions related to my problem and tried all the suggestions.
-Toggle Hold Switch
-Reset the ipod (Multiple Times)
-Try Disk Mode
-Re-Install itunes
-Try a New Wall Charger (the adaptor thing)
-Try USB Port on Computer
-Try USB Port on another Computer
-Replace Charger (the usb cord)
-and finally replace the battery itself
None of the suggestions mentioned worked for me and this problem didn't start until the iPod died on me. Are there any other methods for me to try? My warranty is expired and I'm not buying a new ipod so I'm going for the cheapest way to fix this.

How do I delete audiobooks that are not ...
I downloaded books from a friend of mines Itune list. These are books that she paid for so it is ok to share with me. Anyway, they never show up on my Itunes just on my IPOD. Normally I just go over to her computer and update a file I have with her. It has been easy to delete the books I have listened and download new ones. Her computer crashed and so I don't have a way to delete the files that are on my Ipod. I tried to set up a new file on her new computer but it doesn't remove the books that were already on my Ipod, just anything I have loaded since she got her new computer. What do I do now?

Problems with Muse - The Resistance on ...
Mine is a 5.5g iPod, which has a problem in that songs are being cut off before they are meant to end. I'm having this problem, but strangely it's only affecting the new Muse album, The Resistance. Apart from Uprising, every song keeps cutting off anything between 10-30 seconds before the end. I've tried re-importing the album 4 times, on different computers, and each time have I had the same problem, which only happens when I listen to it after disconnecting my ipod. When my ipod is plugged in and I listen to it through iTunes, the songs play fine, and the CD imports fine. I have also played the CD the whole way through on my stereo and no problems, with absolutely no scratches to the disc, so I don't think it's a disc problem. Has anyone else had this problem and/or can someone help me out?

iPod cannot be synced. Required file ...
I havent had any trouble syncing my ipod until last week when i purchased a song. When i dragged the song to a playlist on my ipod, it appeared grey in my playlist (because it was still loading) and then disappeared. I repeated this until i gave up and I reported this as an issue to itunes. When i tried again it worked and i thought maybe the problem had fixed itself, but i tried to add a CD to my ipod a few days ago and it only synced half of the songs. Now when i try to sync the leftover songs an error box pops up saying "The iPod (name of ipod) cannot be synced. Required file not found."
Some songs will sync perfectly normal, some load but disappear, some eventually just sync, and some won't sync at all. Has anyone had this problem/ can anyone help SOLVE it? please and thank you!!!

Trying to sync ipod with another ...
Well my old computer after 6 reliable years has finally died, god rest her soul, and was used for my itunes and music. Well I have now replaced it with my dad's 2 year old laptop. I bought some songs today on this laptop with my itunes account that I had used on my old computer. However, I continue to get this:
"The ipod 'Justin's ipod' is synced with another itunes library. An ipod can only be synced with only 1 iTunes library at a time. What would you like to do?"
I don't want to have to erase all the songs off my iPod to download the new songs from my itunes because I don't have access to all those songs I originally had. I have transferred some of my songs that it would allow me but I have 200 that were not authorized for transfer.
So the question I am asking is how do I keep all the songs on my iPod and continue to download purchased songs onto my ipod?
I do still have the hard drive from the old computer, so I assume I can transfer the files off of that onto my laptop but I would like that to be a last resort option.
Thank you in advance for any help you will provide.
-Justin K.
P.S. I don't know if this is relevant but,I have checked my purchase history on my iTunes account and it only goes back to 12/30/08. I've purchased about an extra 100 songs before then.

Play not always working correctly after ...
I have a 5th gen iPod (80 Gb) and sometimes after it wakes up from a short nap (not hybernation) the play/pause button does not work correctly. While the play/pause icon on the screen does change, the music does not resume, and remains paused.
The work around is to put it back to sleep (holding the play/pause button), then waking it up again, then I can get it to play. Is this 'typical' (presumably not normal)?

I have a 30 gb 5th gen iPod and no matter what I try, I cannot get my computer, nor iTunes to recognize it. The odd thing is that it will charge the ipod though. I have tried using many different cables, that I have verified worked, I have downgraded my iTunes from 9 to 8, since the problem didn't arise until I upgraded to 9. I have put my iPod into disk mode and still nothing. I have checked my iPod service and followed the instructions on resetting that with no luck. I have no idea now what to do to get my iPod to work again as it was a couple days ago!

I'm confused... My iPod is about full ...
Can someone please help me? I am new to all of this MP3 player business, but I am confused about my 5th gen iPod. I bought the 16gb instead of 8 so I could have lots of songs, but still tape my lectures at school. I have only ~1500 songs, but it is just about full. When I bought it, it said it holds about 4000 songs. Did I do something wrong? All I did was pop a CD into my computer, iTunes downloaded the info, and then I synced my iPod. Is there a reason I don't even have half of what I should have?
