my ipod classic 30gb will not force-restart no matter what I do.

(and it keeps shuttling through songs rather than play them, which perhaps can be fixed by a FORCE RESTART)

Ipod mini won't restart after system update. I connect my iPod mini to my MacBook Air and update the software to the latest version (16.9 IIRC). I disconnect it from my Mac per the on screen instructions and connect it to power. It then continually flashes on and off ad infinitum. Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks! Michael

iPod Classic 6th Generation 120GB Problem I recently received a 6th generation 120GB IPod classic that has an issue connecting with my windows 10 computer. Whenever I plug it in, iTunes will not respond or load and I cannot eject the iPod anywhere, so I’m forced to unplug it without ejecting it on the computer. After this, When the iPod is disconnected, it freezes on the OK to eject screen and I’m forced to restart it manually. Also, when I hover over the settings option, it will freeze up and say it has 0kb free when it actually has 87.3 free. I have never encountered this issue and can’t find anything about this on the web, so I’m at a loss right now. Please help me out. Thanks

Try toggling the hold switch on and off several times, then try again.

See Corrupt iPod Classic - Apple Community. Assuming you are able to force restart it what are your HDD stats?
