Tips and Troubleshooting

If iPod classic displays a “Connect to iTunes to activate Genius” message

You haven’t activated Genius in iTunes, or you haven’t synced iPod classic since you

activated Genius in iTunes. For more information, see page 19 or iTunes Help.

If iPod classic displays a “Genius is not available for the selected song” message

Genius is activated but doesn’t recognize the song you selected to start a Genius

playlist. New songs are added to the iTunes Store Genius database regularly, so try

again later.

If you accidentally set iPod classic to use a language you don’t understand

You can reset the language.

Press and hold Menu until the main menu appears.

Choose the sixth menu item (Settings).

Choose the last menu item (Reset Settings).

Choose the left item (Reset) and select a language.

Other iPod classic settings, such as song repeat, are also reset.

Note:

If you added or removed items from the iPod classic main menu (see “Adding or

Removing Items in the Main Menu” on page 8) the Settings menu item may be

in a different place. If you can’t find the Reset Settings menu item, you can restore

iPod classic to its original state and choose a language you understand. See “Updating

and Restoring iPod Software” on page 65.

If you can’t see videos or photos on your TV

You must use RCA-type cables made specifically for iPod classic, such as the

Apple Component or Apple Composite AV cables, to connect iPod classic to

your TV. Other similar RCA-type cables won’t work.

Make sure your TV is set to display images from the correct input source (see the

documentation that came with your TV for more information).

Make sure all cables are connected correctly (see “Watching Videos on a TV

Connected to iPod classic” on page 41).

Make sure the yellow end of the Apple Composite AV Cable is connected to the

video port on your TV.

If you’re trying to watch a video, go to Videos > Settings and set TV Out to On, and

then try again. If you’re trying to view a slideshow, go to Photos > Slideshow Settings

and set TV Out to On, and then try again.

If that doesn’t work, go to Videos > Settings (for video) or Photos > Settings (for a

slideshow) and set TV Signal to PAL or NTSC, depending on which type of TV you

have. Try both settings.
