I am running Window XP on a Averatec AV3715-EH1 laptop computer. I am using ITunes 10.1.0.54 and using an IPOD Classic (5th Generation Late 2006, 30GB memory) Model MA444LL S/N 8K6521PBV9K with version 1.3 software installed which best I can tell ITunes says is the latest.I have been for years downloading many video and audio podcasts from the ITunes store. Again syncing the IPOD to my computer the IPOD would automatically eject at the end of the sync. It has worked beautifully since I purchased it in 2007. Recently it has stopped ejecting automatically from my docking station (now have to manually eject it) and many of the old podcasts that have been syncing perfectly for years are not syncing from the computer to the IPOD any longer. They are on my computer but not syncing. Brand new podcasts are not syncing at all. There are some old podcasts that are contunuing to sync okay but for how long I do not know. They appear to be slowly disappearing. New CD music appears to be syncing just fine. Unsubscribed to old podcasts that were not syncing and resubscribed. Still not syncing to the IPOD. Apple tech support does not appear to be of any help and are useless in my opinion. At their suggestion I deleted ITunes completely off my computer and reinstalled the same version (10.1.0.54). I reset the IPOD to no avail. I am now at a total loss. HELP? Is my IPOD too old? Where could the problem be? having some computer experience I think the problem is probably easily fixed but Apple appears to want you to buy a new IPOD.

I bought a 5th gen classic at a pawn shop and on itunes 10 it is doing this to me, corrupt files takes ages just to sync, and when it finally says its finished synching I eject it safely and there are only about 10 songs on there… frustration… any way to downgrade to itunes 8?

Can't believe i've only just found out about this, i went to the apple shop in Southampton today with my wifes 80gb classic, about 3 months ago while i was syncing it, it completely wiped what was on her ipod. i have a 30gb classic and mine is fine.
since then even with the new itunes it will not work properly, wont sync and just freezes, the apple shop would have replaced it if it was in warranty, but it was 3 years old and now were stuck with something that wont work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have IPod Classic 160 GB and I downloaded Itunes 10 and STILL can't get the damn thing to sync my songs!!!! This is the BIGGEST scam product I've ever encountered. I spent 2 whole months “fixing” my Itunes library and files trying to retrieve “lost” songs and once completed, I found I can't sync my songs onto the IPod. Ladies and Gentlemen, we've become a bunch of suckers on account of Apple Computers. I'll never buy anything that's made from Apple. I spent an”arm and leg” on this inferior contraption!!!

iPod Classic 5th Gen 30gig. As soon as I plug it in iTunes freezes and it starts back up as soon as I unplug it. I'm very upset, this iPod has served me for years without a problem and now I can't even charge it and all my music got erased so I can't even just plug it into my iPod compatible stereo.
