Help with malfunctioning iPod - 2008/08/01 16:41
I have an 6th gen 80GB ipod classic which I purchased in the beginning of Feb. 2008. Starting last week, my itunes started having trouble syncing music to my ipod (i was manually syncing). I keep getting errors 48 and 68 (or 69?) saying my ipod failed to sync, and windows errors saying there is a device time-out or that it failed to write to disc.
I restored my ipod to factory settings 2x. After the first time, it said it was completely synced but no music was on the ipod (although the bar in itunes showed it at the capacity i wanted -- except all my audio was now labeled "other").
The second time it added 139 songs (i have about 13000 -- not all are set to sync however). This time I let the computer automatically sync checked songs. Then I dis- and re-connected one more time and got around 4k songs on the ipod. Connected it once again and started the sync (before giving me the time-out notice). This time turning on my ipod revealed no music, although i hadn't removed anything.
So, long story short, itunes cannot sync my ipod (i get errors with itunes AND with windows time-out) and the music that DOES get there eventually disappears.
I'm running windows XP (home) on an Acer Aspire 5100. I ran Disk Utility on the ipod and received no notice of anything wrong with it.
My system has had no major changes or updates EXCEPT Windows SP3 update, after which this started happening, leading me to think they may be connected.
I have never dropped or damaged my ipod in any way.
Can anyone help me out?
