Slight ipod classic problem

[The-Slug]

Hello people. I have got a slight problem with my ipod classic 30GB 5th gen well i hope its slight lol. The problem is when i'm clicking on my songs the song will start playing but on some songs the screen freezes from anywhere from 3 seconds to 40 seconds, the song still plays but the screen freezes it probably happens once every 15 songs its laggy too and the other day the ipod just went completely of with the song still playing and i had to do a reset.....................any ideas people on how to sort this out

Ipod classics are know to be laggy (especially the newer ones), but not like that.

I would start be restoring it.

I agree with The Intruder. My Classic 6G is unresponsive for maybe a second while it brings up the album art, but nothing like 3 to 40 seconds. I suggest that you make sure that you have a good backup of your music and data, and then erase and restore the iPod. If that doesn't help, you should begin pricing a new unit, because I suspect it is going to fail soon.

Maybe there's a problem with the memory I think but Im not sure...My iPod touch always gives me nice feedback..Play music according to what I like...Maybe Im just too careful of the things I have..

Restoring is going to be a last ditch effort as it wipes your ipod clean and sets it back to factory settings. Try doing a reset first. Hold down the menu and select button together until you see the apple logo. Then release and let it continue to boot up. Usually fixes most issues.

He did reset it.

And if you have all of your media on itunes, i see no problem restoring. Just re-sync and choose the settings you had before.

Yeah i-touch rules.

Maybe you have too many song that's why it lags.
reset first, if cant do try to delete the songs that give you problem with.
Restore is the last thing to do.

If you dont have music on your PC, and dont want to loose your music on your Ipod... go download a sharepod and transfer all your music from ipod to your pc and do restore.
