I forgot to mention Apple's own support topic for iPod Displays a Red "X" Icon. On the basis that it is probably beyond help you could also look up drive replacement instructions online. You could try opening up the case and reseating the connectors in a more conventional fashion, or investigate the option of replacing the drive.

Hoping you can help me here too!

The last few days, my Ipod classic has wiped all the songs off there as it says it failed to sync. I've restored it 3 times and when it gets to about 300 songs on there, uploading gets very slow and happens again, erasing everything.


Here's my results, so any help is greatly appreciated!

Reallocs: 9856

So from reading this entire thread i have to assume my 2009 160gb ipod classic is poked. After ITunes said it needed to be updated in May, it kept making me restore (over 6x) my ipod (which worked beautifully before) and then when it finally did restore and sync, some of the songs just skip over and don't play. I have followed your advice here and see no numbers like mine, so thought I would share......


Retracts: 3

Reallocs: 800

Pending: 11872

Power on hours: 56

Starts/stops: 4046


apart from those all normal.


as i live somewhere that there is absolutely no apple support, don't suppose you have hardware repair manual 🙂 ah ha ha ha. if it is done, then that will end my apple relationship i think.
