Serious issues with iPod classic 160g
by Matthe Clements on Apr 29, 2009 at 2:12:16 am

Ok, I'll try and add as much info as I can...The iPod was originally used on a Dell with WindowsXP. While I was in Iraq I got a bunch of music from a couple different computers. When I got back I puchased a new HP with Vista. And after downloading iTunes 8 on it I can't do anything with the iPod. It says there is a problem with reading the disk. Eventually it will pull up the info on iTunes but I can't do anything. I've tried to restore it which I know will erase everything from it and iTunes has stated after several times of doing this that the iPod was successfully restored but it hasn't. Everything is still on it and I can't do anything. I don't care if I lose all the music on it I just want to redo everything and nothing seems to be working...

It's odd that you went through the restoration process, which erases the iPod, but after all the songs were there.

You did not mention what ipod you had, but try this page:

Also..update you iPod first...the software. Click "check for update"...update the iPod OS..THEN do the restore..that should do it.

It's an iPod classic 160G. I've updated the software and everything even reinstalled itunes 8...no luck restoring it after this either. It will state that the iPod has been restored but nothing has changed.

Please, i was restoring my IPOD 160GB when the usb cable was accidentally disconnected. Ever since, itunes will not see the ipod. I can see the Ipod in My Computer but can't open any file/folder inside it.

Can you please help, what can I do to fix this. THANKS.
