If iPod classic is set to sync automatically, the syncing begins.
Important: The first time you connect iPod classic to a different computer and have the automatic sync option set, a message asks if you want to sync songs and videos automatically. If you accept, all songs, videos, and other items are deleted from iPod classic and replaced with the songs, videos, and other items in the iTunes library on that computer. If you dont accept, you can still add videos to iPod classic manually without deleting any of the videos already on iPod classic. iTunes includes a feature to sync purchased items from iPod classic to another computer. For more information, see iTunes Help. While videos are being synced from your computer to iPod classic, the iTunes status window shows progress and the iPod classic icon in the source list flashes red.

The adapter case has become damaged. You suspect the adapter needs service or repair. You want to clean the adapter. Hearing damage Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing: Limit the amount of time you use earbuds or headphones at high volume. Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings. Turn the volume down if you cant hear people speaking near you. For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on iPod classic, see Setting the Maximum Volume Limit on page 31.

Stop listening to your audio device if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle or performing another activity that requires your full attention. Seizures, blackouts, and eye strain A small percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when playing games or watching video. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences, you should consult a physician before playing games (if available) or watching video on your iPod classic. Discontinue use and consult a physician if you experience: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. To reduce the risk of blackout, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged use, hold iPod classic some distance from your eyes, use iPod classic in a well lit room, and take frequent breaks. Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities such as playing games on iPod classic, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body.

Date introduced September 9, 2009 Model numbers MC293, MC297
Greenhouse gas emissions have an impact on the planets balance of land, ocean, and air temperature. Most of Apples corporate greenhouse gas emissions come from the production, transport, use, and recycling of its products. Apple seeks to minimize greenhouse gas emissions by setting stringent design-related goals for material and energy efficiency. The chart below provides the estimated life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions for iPod classic. Greenhouse gas emissions for iPod classic
Recycling, 2% Production, 50%
iPod classic is designed with the following features to reduce environmental impact: Mercury-free LED-backlit display Arsenic-free display glass Brominated flame retardant-free PVC-free Highly recyclable aluminum and stainless steel enclosure Power adapter (sold separately) outperforms strictest global energy efficiency standards

Transport, 17%

Customer use, 31%
Total greenhouse gas equivalent: 23 kg CO2e

Energy Efficiency

iPod classic uses power-efficient components and software that intelligently manages power consumption. In addition the Apple USB Power Adapter (sold separately) outperforms the stringent requirements of the ENERGY STAR specification for external power supplies. The following table details the energy efficiency of the Apple USB Power Adapter. Energy efficiency of Apple USB Power Adapter (sold separately)
Mode Power adapter, no-load Power adapter efficiency 100V 0.22W 74% 115V 0.23W 75% 230V 0.25W 70%

Material Efficiency

Battery chemistry System battery: lithium-ion polymer Free of lead, cadmium, and mercury
Apples ultra-compact product and packaging designs lead the industry in material efficiency. Reducing the material footprint of a product helps maximize shipping efficiency. It also helps reduce the amount of energy consumed during production and the material waste generated at end of life. The iPod classic enclosure is made of aluminum and stainless steel, materials highly desired by recyclers. The chart below details the materials used in iPod classic. Material use for iPod classic
Others, 3g Plastic, 5g Display, 7g Other metals, 7g Circuit boards, 10g Battery, 11g Aluminum, 18g

Hard drive, 48g

Stainless steel, 30g
Packaging The packaging design of iPod classic uses paperboard made from 100 percent postconsumer recycled content. In addition, the packaging is extremely material efficient, consuming 85 percent less volume and weighing 68 percent less than the original iPod. This allows over three times more units to be transported in a single shipping container. The following table details the materials used in iPod classic packaging.

Restricted Substances

Apple has long taken a leadership role in restricting harmful substances from its products and packaging. As part of this strategy all Apple products comply with the strict European Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment, also known as the RoHS Directive. Examples of materials restricted by RoHS include lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and PBB and PBDE brominated flame retardants (BFRs). iPod classic goes even further than the RoHS Directive by incorporating the following more aggressive restrictions: Mercury-free LED-backlit display Arsenic-free display glass Brominated flame retardant-free Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-free

Recycling

Through ultra-efficient design and use of highly recyclable materials, Apple has minimized material waste at product end of life. In addition, Apple offers and participates in various product take-back and recycling programs in 95 percent of the regions where Apple products are sold. All products are processed in the country or region in which they are collected. For more information on how to take advantage of these programs, visit www.apple.com/environment/recycling/.

Denitions

Greenhouse gas emissions: Estimated emissions are calculated in accordance with guidelines and requirements as specified by ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. Calculation includes emissions contributing to Global Warming Potential (GWP 100 years) in CO2 equivalency factors (CO2e). Production: Includes the extraction, production, and transport of raw materials; the manufacture, transport, and assembly of all parts; and product packaging. Transport: Includes air and sea transportation of finished product and its associated packaging from manufacturing site to continental distribution hub. Transport of products from distribution centers to end customer is not included. Use: User power consumption assumes a three-year period. Product-use scenarios are modeled on data that reflects intensive daily use of the product. Geographic differences in the power grid mix have been accounted for at a continental level. Recycling: Includes transportation from collection hubs to recycling centers and the energy used in mechanical separation and shredding of parts. Energy efficiency: The energy efficiency values in this report are based on the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Single Voltage External AC-DC and AC-AC Power Supplies Version 2.0. Power adapter, no-load: Condition in which the power adapter is connected to AC power, but not connected to the device. Power adapter efficiency: Average of the power adapters measured efficiency when tested at 100 percent, 75 percent, 50 percent, and 25 percent of the power adapters rated output current.
