I have had an Ipod 7th generation 160 GB classic. It works great, I love it. It has worked great, however, the past two different times that I have charged it with my computer (using two different cords) it has me reset it factory conditions before I can add songs. What is wrong with the Ipod? Otherwise it works great.
iPod classic, Windows 8
Hello, esahc88.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that I would recommend taking a look at when experiencing this issue.
Resolution
- Connect the iPod to your computer. One of these messages should appear on your computer:If you don't see one of these dialogs, install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
- Windows: iTunes has detected a Macintosh-formatted iPod. You must restore this iPod before you can use it on Windows.
- Mac: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
- Click OK. iTunes will give you the option to restore or update your iPod.
- Click Restore to restore the iPod.
- If your iPod displays this message after you restore it, reset the iPod.
- After you reset your iPod, try to restore it in iTunes.
- If you continue to see the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service.
