Hi. I have an iPod 80 Gig classic. The video edition one. It's only I believe a year to a year and a half old. I think something is wrong with it because it is very slow picking and playing songs & also synchronizing (if it actually connects).
I have reformatted it and tried connecting to a few different itunes, just to get music. Each time it says it has some kind of delayed write error or it will finish synchronizing after taking forever and have some sort of could not write hard disk error.
The real question is, "Is my iPod dead?" and is there a solution i.e. can I get it fixed or do I just buy a new one.
Assume it's the latter and my iPod is fried, which would be the second time I went ahead and got an iPod and then something was completely inefficient about it. I bought the iPod this past time because of convenience. Does anyone have any suggestions to an mp3 player that is efficient. synchronizes easily, good battery life, and holds 30+ gigs of music. I have looked around and I'm not seeing much. Mostly 4 gig products for 12 year olds.
Don't buy a new one. There are plenty of random problems that ipod owners run into that can be easily fixed, but instead they end up trashing them and getting a new one.
It sounds like either a hard drive, or connecter problem, you could always try jacking someone's hard drive and see if that fixes it.
As for a mp3 players, zunes are pretty good, they hold a lot of music and they have a good mp3 player program.
The problem is within the hard drive within my iPod, not the ones in my computer. How can I jack someone elses iPod hard drive, ha. Aren't they really hard to open up?
I have a zune. It's great. I've had it since it came out in like 2005 or 2006 (i forget what xmas i got it for). I've never had 1 problem with it, ever.
Not that I know of. There was an issue with the 30GB Zune's that had to do with there being 366 days in the year 2008 so on Dec 31, my Zune was frozen and didn't work. It works now and I still have yet to see any problems with it.
My ipd just died as well - big circle with a slash through it so I"m just going to take it in & get a new one. I'm not sure what the official return policy is, but before I got this one my old Ipod had the same problems as you're describing so I took it in & got a new one for free. Give that a try before you try anything else, it's worth a shot

You can take the screen part off and pull out the HD. You can probably find details on google or something.
A new HD is $180. So gl with that.
Now shut up.
