i dont have my own computer. therefore i borrowed my friends computer and i backed up all my music onto it. but i cant leave it there forever. is there any way possible to use my ipod as a regular harddrive just to store the files on, until i can get a new ipod?
Thanx
The fact that so many defects have been found and swapped out suggests the drive is no longer reliable. Anything you store on it may not be able to be read when you try. If you're having trouble loading data then that just adds to the picture.

Well the hung sync is a bad one... Sectors only get marked as pending when the device tries and fails to read them. They're not checked after writing.

Dec 10, 2013 12:39 PM in response to Bongo73by orangeshoeskid,Mine has decided to stop working in the last couple days too. It plays music, but whenver I tried adding new music to it, songs would transfer sooo slowly. Made sure everything was updated, still slow. Reset the ipod to factory settings, and it was doing well for a while, but by the time I reached the J artists in iTunes, it slowed down again and eventually froze. Now plugging it in says its a corrupted iPod. I look at the stats and found 130 Reallocs, 37 Pending Sectors. I think the worst part is that the max temp said 250C, which is significantly higher than anyone else's I've seen in this thread.
Tried plugging it in to run disk repair/utility but its not showing up in My Computer.
Any ideas?

The 250C temp. is probably a corrupt value recorded as the result of some kind of crash. I think parts of the iPod would have melted had it really got that hot.
The counts of pending and reallocated don't seem that serious. Might be worth trying the DFU restore method from the previous page of this thread.

Again I'd try the DFU restore method. It ought to sort things out.

Dec 13, 2013 9:40 AM in response to turingtest2by orangeshoeskid,I wanted to try that, but whenever I connect the iPod to my macbook, iTunes will recognize it (and promptly tell me the device is corrupted), but it won't be recognized as a device anywhere else, which makes me unable to do the disk utility restore, right?

Dec 13, 2013 10:07 AM in response to orangeshoeskidby turingtest2,DFU Restore
If the device still won't restore normally try this method. Connect the device to the USB cable, press MENU+SELECT like a standard reset but keep holding for 12 seconds. The device should reboot as normal and then the screen should go blank. Now open iTunes and try to restore again.
I haven't mentioned it there, but go into iTunes preferences and tick the option Prevent iPods, iPhone and iPads from syncing automatically. Close iTunes. Connect the USB cable and immediately press MENU+SELECT for exactly 12 seconds. Get the timing wrong and it starts up as normal or reboots again. iTunes should be able to restore the device if you can get the device in DFU mode.

Is the hard drive dead?
Since i restore the IPod and i always get this image: Do not disconnect and ok to disconnect screen. Can't access to the main menus even the ipod isn't connected to the computer.. Any solutions? Btw I already tried to format and nothing.

I think so...
Even if reformatting would convert the pending sectors to reallocated that is a high number and is a likely indication of more failures to come.

Jan 6, 2014 2:52 PM in response to Bongo73by moro_schiele,hello,
I don't know if my problem is the same of yours but I try to explain.
I have iPod classic 160GB using both Mac and Windows.
Because a Windows crash (what news ?!?) my iPod seems crazy.
When I connect it to Windows, everything crashes.
In Mac is different: a lot of time iTunes says "Verifying iPod...". In iPod display there's always the sync logo with written "Syncing. Do not espell" nothing changes.
I've tried to connect it normally, in Disk Mode; I've tried all the diagnostics in this thread and these is my results:
Retracts: 64
Reallocs: 2
Péending: 3
PowerOn Hours 846
Start/Stop: 1030
Temp: current 29°
Temp: min 3°
Temp: max 53°
I've tried also the 12 seconds DFU restore. Nothing.
I've also tried to restore with iTunes but nothing. The program says something like "Impossible to restore iPod because it's impossible to disable".
I've tried analyze/repair with Utility Disk buth nothing.
I've tried restore/disable/format with Disk Utility but nothing.
The greatest thing is that I CAN listen iPod. Works perfect. But I can't add/remove/menage from iTunes.
what could you suggest ?
