A Bluetooth transmitter (or radio) is hardware and is built into a Bluetooth-enabled product during the manufacture.of that device. A Bluetooth-enabled device can connect to another Bluetooth-enabled device to establish communication between them, but there is no Bluetooth network, the way there are wireless (WiFi) networks to which a WiFI-enabled device can connect. Bluetooth is short-distance (33 feet/10 meters between the Bluetooth devices) method of wireless communication. Hope this helps.

It could be a failing hard drive. if windows doesn'd see it in my computer, or it doesn't show up in finder, and it doesn't show up in iTunes especially, these are all signs.

after a fill carger the battery go died in a hour of playing it

Toggle the switch. If that doesn't work, hold the lock and home button simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds or until the apple logo appears on the screen. This is called a hard reset by some, but shouldn't cost any of the data on the device as a factory reset would. If that doesn't work post again and I will give some more steps. Make sure your device is charged and try more than one charging cord in case that is your problem. Hope this helps!

I'm not quite certain what you mean by "car charger", If you mean a battery charger which is used to charge a 6 or 12 volt automotive battery, your device's protection circuits will read an incorrect amperage, and refuse the connection. If you mean the device will not charge by connecting the cord to the cigarette lighter outlet (or other 12Volt outlets), you should check that the cords' side contacts are coming out as they should, these often fail to engage because the mechanism is a bit wimpy. You can use the tip of a pen to slide under the contacts and gently pry then out. then try re-connecting the device, and see if it will charge. If it is still not charging, be certain the front contact is fully extended, if not, grasp it gently with a pair of needle nosed pliers, and pull it (again gently is the operative term), if it comes out 1/8th to 1/4 inch. Plug it in and it should work. Be certain and that the tip is clean (a light touch with fine sandpaper, (or a little scrape with your knife) should do just fine. If you still are not getting the charge, try using the cord which does work on the other device, the problem could be in the cord itself. If you have a multimeter check the end of the cord which plugs into the device for proper voltage, the control circuits in the cord itself may be malfunctioning, in which case a new cord it needed. I hope I've been of help, if not please feel free to try for another answer. Good Luck! John (Sparky)

Simply hold down the bottom scroll until it clicks off.

Hi. I'm attaching the link to download the Manual for Ipod Classic 160 GB. The information to set the language is available on page 8 & 9. Please let me know if you need any further help. http://cdn2.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/12503.pdf

Check out the Apple Store coz they usually have stock for everything from accessories to players even for third party ones

I found this solution to work. Try this first: a) Get Windows to restart the drivers: - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes - connect your USB device - if ITunes loads, close it. b) File explorer: Open File explorer and browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...." right click on the one ending in "INF" Select Install. It's very quick. remove the USB device c) Restart the computer. When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device. d) If still not works, try re-install iTunes. Go into the Unstall Programs (in Control Panel) and uninstall everything that says Apple, and uninstall Bonjour. With the fresh install of iTunes, everything came back and is should work. Hope it helps. f) If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job http://www.reviewstown.com/itunes-alternative.html

Are you sure this was a corrupt MP3 that went on to the iPod, rather than an MP3 that the iPod itself corrupted? Maybe as a result of a dying hard disk?
