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, also through iTunes, to the extension that iTunes complains ipod classic pending 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.

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 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.

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 i
