Whats going on? It'll only hard reset, and when it does, the apple screen shows up, then it tells me to connect to itunes.
When I connect to itunes, it tells me the ipod is in recovery mode, and to restore it, but if I try to restore it - it gives me an error message, and says it can't be restored.
Hellllp!
iPod classic
i have the same issue with my Ipod classic, the 160gb model. The error message 1439 appears. I've followed the guide posted earlier on this thread, but it hasn't helped.
I have also tried to reformat it but that isn't possible either. The reason is that it is apparently read-only.
Any more ideas?
I just updated itunes with my ipod connected. When the update finished my computer didn't recognize the ipod and then itunes thought there were 2 ipods connected to my computer. After I disconnected the iPod I tried to turn it on where I get the big red X and what sounds like hard drive crunching. I've tried started in disc mode, but it won't.
And smacking the iPod on the table, is that really the way to get it to work???
Then your ipod classic hard drive does not work anymore!!! try to go to the apple store and ask them they will maybe say the hard drive dosen,t work any more and ask them how much it cost to replace the hard drive.
Sorry to interupt but it looks like there a problem with the hard drive. you should read this if you are having trouble restoring the ipod classic
It's error 1434, in case anyone is wondering.
I've tried all the things on that, doesn't work 😢
Is there a place I can order a hard drive from? Paying someone to replace a hard drive is a waste of money.
yea you can buy the hard drive from ebay and watch some youtube videos of how to replace hard drive from ipod classic.
Ipod classic makes a clicking noise, wont restore or go into disk mode
