I've got an iPod classic from 2007 or 2008 (can't really remember), 80gb, and it's randomly just stopped working.
Did all the things listed in the first post, and this is what I got:
Retracts: 11
Reallocs: 1648
Pending Sectors: 312
PowerOn Hours: 4359
Start/Stops: 10253
Temp: Current 35c
Temp: Min 64c
Temp: Max 239c
I know the numbers are so out of whack, but honestly, I just wanna know if it'll ever work again or if I should just let go of it.
Thanks in advance
If you are lucky a few rounds of DFU restore or reformat might release all of those pending sectors. If that doesn't work you could consider replacing the drive. Otherwise call it a day.

Success! Doing the disk repair worked! No reset required... very happy... although in the intervening three weeks I discovered the joy of iTunes radio on my iPad!
Thanks again

Oct 20, 2015 4:44 AM in response to Bongo73by HWlkr,Hi,
I have an iPod classic 5th gen and am having the exact same problems. So I have read through this thread and tried everything as suggested but nothing has worked. All of my music is backed up, so I restored my iPod (so it now has no music on it), and I took the readings below. I also tried the same in disk mode.
Retracts: 4
Reallocs: 0
Pending Sectors: 0
PowerOn Hours: 64
Start/Stops: 12957
Temp: Current 27c
Temp: Min 57c
Temp: Max 251c
On other posts it says that if there are no reallocs or pending sectors then there could be hope...is this right? Do I stand any chance at getting my iPod working or do I need to replace the hard drive as others have suggested?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Oct 20, 2015 4:57 AM in response to HWlkrby turingtest2,Apart from the high temperature, which I'll assume is an aberration, the stats look OK. What happens if you try to sync a single album to the device?

My iPod won't show in iTunes. It just tells me that the iPod is corrupt and I can restore or disconnect and reconnect. So iTunes doesn't recognise the iPod and I can't sync anything to it. I am on a Macbook so have checked Disk Utilities and tried to repair the iPod in First Aid but it doesn't allow me to do anything, only eject the iPod (which doesn't work).
Any ideas?

Oct 20, 2015 6:06 AM in response to turingtest2by HWlkr,I have loaded up a windows laptop and received the message the the device driver software could not be installed and to consult with the device manufacturer in getting the device installed.
Sorry, I am not that familiar with windows so you'll have to bear with me.

Oct 20, 2015 6:17 AM in response to turingtest2by HWlkr,I put it into disk mode and reconnected the iPod. It told me I had restore it as it had previously been synced with a Mac so I restored the iPod to allow it to sync with windows. Now, it is syncing the iPod with my iTunes account on the Microsoft machine.
So am I right in thinking that now it should be ok when I plug it back into my Mac? Fingers crossed!!! I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks.
