You need to place the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. If you do not have a backup you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

The classic does not have a speaker so you need to plug something in the headphone or use a dock to get sound out.

and how do you get them to play in the car stereo?

If the car has an AUX input you can purchase a cable that got from the iPod's headhone jack to the AUX input. You can also purchase an FM transmitter that plugs into the headphone jack and it will brodcast to the ar's FM radio. Google for FM transmitter for iPod.

Thanks again.

If it is commercial DVD those are copy protected and it is illegal to copy those. If it is legal to copy then just use a DVD authoring program to copy and burn it.

Thanks, nah not wanting to copy illegally just ones i have of my children and make a back up copy or that for family. Do i buy a program or can i use imovie. Just unsure how to do it.

The car steroe has the ipod connectivity, it connected the ipod touch no prblems, the iphones no problem but it recognises the ipod classic but had no sound. Unsure how to fix it, it says its compatable!!!
