Q: unable to copy songs to ipod classic
I have recently found errors when doing a sync on itunes to my ipod classic 6gen to my windows10 hp. When i initially connect via USB, i get the message 'problems with disk, scan to fix'. then in itunes after initially connecting and recognizing the device, i get errors for most/all songs with unknown error -50 and -53 messages. When i select the device via windows explorer, i get the message 'please insert a disk into [my ipod name].
I executed the manual boot and ran smartdata which gave these results:
Retracts 206
Reallocs 352
Pending sectors 2
Powering on hours 504
start/stops 238
temp current 32C
temp min 14C
temp max 49C
I want to avoid the scan to fix solution unless its my only hope - i had issues with other USB storage after that
is this ipod still salvagable?
HP pavilion, Windows 10

See Corrupt iPod Classic. Overall the stats don't look too bad. A DFU restore or reformat may be needed to release the pending sectors. Make sure that Windows 10 is fully updated as some recent builds have raised false alarms requiring a scan and fix when it isn't needed.
