Question

How do I turn on a dead iPod 6?

Community Answer

You cant because if it's dead, it won't turn on. You should put a charger in the ipod for about 10 minutes.

Try using a different cord, power block, and/or wall outlet. If none of these options work, you may have to replace the battery.

What can I do if I can't turn off my iPod Classic because it is frozen?

Mo Tate

Community Answer

To force restart your iPod classic, put the Hold switch firmly in the unlocked position. Press and hold the Menu and Center (or Select) buttons for 8 seconds, or until you see the Apple logo. This should release it.

How can I tell if my iPod is turned off or just sleeping?

If you press the home button and it turns on, it's sleeping. If it stays black, it's completely off.

Question

How do I put photos from my Macbook onto my classic iPod?

Community Answer

Connect your iPod to your iTunes Library and look on the iPod/Photos pane. Choose a folder on your computer from the drop-down menu. You can only choose one folder, but all the photos and sub-folders in it will then be added to your iPod. (You may need to press the Sync button.)

Question

How do I add music to my iPod Classic?

Community Answer

Via iTunes (or Finder on a newer Mac). Keep in mind the songs need to be purchased via the iTunes Store or physically on your computer, no devices can sync Apple Music between each other, that is done via Apple ID on iPhone and iPod Touch running iOS 6 or later, and Mac devices running OS X Snow Leopard or later.
