iPod 120GB now broke. Time to shop for new one.

[MaCruz]

Does anyone have a solution is to why my iPod keeps freezing, and going back to the main menu. This is happening when I'm playing my digital copies.

I have used 110GB / 1.2 GB Free
Songs: 4,201
Videos: 62 (Digital Copies)
Photos: 33

FYI, I have recently erased everything, and re-synced everything back to my iPod and now it's giving me this problem with freezing when I play movies.

When I'm listening to music, it will play half a song, and it will skip and play the next track.

Solutions?

Should I just reformat everything again, and sync large files one by one instead of the whole damn iTunes Library?

Thanks for your help.

I wonder if it could be like what we were talking about in the iphone thread, that it is a glitch being caused by a recent app you installed?

Have you tried restoring the settings on it?

I found a buyer for my iPod!

Remember that Sunday 2 weeks ago? I was pissed off because my laptop, and iTunes were acting up. Well I got everything to work again, but I had to reformat my iPod back to it's factory settings. It started acting funny, but all my media in my iTunes is fine.

I think it's the iPod itself. I don't think it can handle all this memory I synced to it all at one time.

And my iPod was fine before all of this.

Is that one of the 120GB iPod Classics?

You may be right!

I'll restore it, and sync movies, and albums 1 at a time.

Try resetting your iPod: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320

I would also delete a few items making the available free space closer to 20%, although 10% free space should be fine.

Good luck.

Thank you. I'll give that a try when I get home.

[Mr. J]

In other words delete some of that trash that you listen to. Everything except Nas. That better stay on there forever, nah mean?

[MaCruz]

I just tried the reset procedure, and this is what happens when I play a movie. It will reset it self (Showing Apple Logo).

I think I may have to reformat the entire device and re-sync my files again.

[MaCruz]

There seems to be a major problem now.

Now my iPod can't be recognized by my iTunes.

When my iPod finally loads. It says it's probably corrupted, and I have the option to restore it.

Well I can't do it because that option won't show unless I unplug the iPod. When it's unplugged. The Option is there.

When I hit Okay.. the window disappears, and I can't restore my iPod.

[Mr. J]

Sounds like you have a good enough excuse to buy a new one

Yeah they have 160 GB ones now!

I bought mine last Feb and the 120 was the max. I don't want to spend $250 again, but I'll keep trying to fix this issue myself.

[MaCruz]

So I had a little luck last night, but I was able to erase the entire iPod and all of the contents.

However, my iTunes will NOT recognize my iPod.

For some reason. Now my iPod says it's used 103 GB, and has about 2 GB remaining?

There's no songs, or movies now. It's bascially empty.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. Maybe I might call Apple Support and be on hold forever.

Is it possible to bring my iPod to a local Apple Store to take a look at it? Buying a new iPod is the last option right now.

[Mr. J]

see what happens when you put UP on there
