Troubleshooting and replacing parts is somewhat complex, but we have made it easier below. Note: There are two versions of iPod Classic: thin and thick. The thin version refers to the 80 GB, 120 GB, and thin 160 GB models. The thick version refers to the thick 160 GB model. If you are unsure which 160 GB version you have (as some parts https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/iPod_Classic_Troubleshooting are not interchangeable between models), perform the following steps: 1) Locate the serial etched on the rear panel of the iPod 2) Go to Apple's Online Service Assistant and enter your serial number and country 3) Look at the text under the picture on the left. If it reads "iPod Classic," you have the thick version. If it reads "iPod Classic (Late 2009)," you have the thin version. iPod won't turn on¶ No matter what you do, you can't get your iPod to turn on. Hold switch is on¶ Before delving into the guts of your iPod, check to make sure the hold switch isn't activated. If the hold switch is on, the iPod will ignore any input on the click wheel and refuse to do anything. If your iPod's problem isn't so easily solved, read on. Drained/bad battery¶ If your iPod won't turn on, especially if it has not been used recently, you may simply have a drained battery. Plug your iPod into your computer or AC adapter and see if anything happens. Ideally your iPod will recognize it has been connected to a power source and charge its battery. If it will no longer charge, the battery must be replaced. We sell replacement batteries for both thin and thick iPod Classics. Bad display¶ It is possible that it a

I've never had problems copying songs into it, through iTunes, but from the beginning I never had much success using it as a portable hard drive. Whenever I tried copying large files, or many files, into it, it would hang and reboot after a while. The same happens when I tried copying videos into it, ipod classic hard also through iTunes, to the extension that iTunes complains that it can't read or write to the iPod. Usually, restoring the iPod returns it to the state that I can copy songs again, but when I increase the usage to videos or large files the trouble starts again. I'm pretty convinced it has a bad hard drive, but it is not covered by warranty anymore. Fixing it at a local Apple representative would cost as much as buying a new one, and the ifixit howto is pretty much discouraging, besides stating that video iPod use special hard drives and they don't sell them anymore. I was hoping that mounting the iPod in disk mode and running a check disk would mark the bad sectors and allow me use it as a <160GB iPod, but I can't find what tool would do that on the Mac. What do you recommend? How should I proceed? ipod share|improve this question asked Jan 5 '11 at 9:51 lpacheco 1,5982922 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote accepted You can try to diagnose if the disk has a problem with the diagnostic mode.

Rio were first with flash players) nor the first to feature hard drive storage (Creative's Discman-sized Nomad Jukebox predated it), the iPod's combination of clean design, easy to use software both on the player and the computer, and the growing ecosystem of third-party add-ons have all contributed to Apple's 80+% market share. Still, the iPod has come in for its share of complaints. The polished chrome backs and the plastic screen scratch too easily. The rechargeable batteries only last a few years and then fail to hold a charge (and are not easily user-replaceable). These complaints have gotten lots of media attention - some might even say too much media attention. All lithium-ion batteries fail to hold a charge after a couple of years, and while the iPods are hard to open, the batteries can be replaced. Another issue is lurking in the background, however. I don't have any statistics on how widespread it is, but my personal experience suggests that it may be affecting huge numbers of owners of hard drive-based iPods. The symptoms appear to be a hard drive failure; the iPod tries to start up, but part way through there are several clicking sounds, like a computer hard drive that has crashed, and finally a "sad iPod" icon (right) appears on screen. This is not a rare occurrence. I know five people who bought 40 GB fourth-generation ("click wheel") iPods. Three of the five have had this happen to their iPod; one person had it happen while her iPod was still under warranty. Apple replaced it; later, the same thing happened with the replacement unit. The other two iPod's failed after the standard warranty ran out, suggesting that it may be worthwhile to budget for the extended AppleCare warranty, at least for hard drive iPods. Apple's iPod support page gives steps users can try if their iPod doesn't start; maybe they
