60 Gig - Video Ipod - Full Charge in an hour ?

Just got from Best Buy last nite.
Hooked it up to our existing external charger from Apple, expected 3 hours and after 1 hour it was fully charged ...
Should I be alarmed ?
How long did anyone elses initial charge take ...
TIA.
Tman

They are partially charged. An hour is about right,
no cause for alarm.
how about the usual charging time? how long is it? mine is like an hour, and it is already full after that. is that ok?

  • "White Screen" error after most recent update 60 gig video iPod

    I just received the most recent iPod updater software. I installed the updater and ran same. After the update process my 60 gig video iPOD cannot be recognized by my MAC G5. It has a "White Screen" and WILL NOT turn off! When I attempt a reset it simply gives me a 2 or 3 tone beep (I've never heard the tone before). The screen goes dark and it reboots to a white screen. I've re-installed updater and iTunes. I've switched USB ports. I've shut down the computer as well as rebooted same. I've allowed the iPOD to fully discharge (which happened quickly since the screen will not blank). When the unit is plugged into the USB port it charges and the white screen reappears. The updater now refuses to see the iPod so I cannot reset to factory defaults. Any ideas?
    The idiots at Apple instituted a 24/7 chat tech support line for iPod shuttle owners. The guys like me who paid the big bucks for their best product get stuck out in the cold! Apple's whole tech support schtick is barely one step ahead of Dell's! The charge premium prices for their product and I like Apple a lot, but their demand that you be either an Apple Care customer or .MAC user to get even rudimentary support *****!

    Ok, for all the others out who experience this problem....I spent about an hour on the phone with Apple. You have to go to their SECOND level of support to get an answer. But there is a fix.
    If you have a white screen and the unit beep 3 times after a reboot here's what you need to do to fix the problem. Warning all you data will be lost. It will have to be downloaded via iTunes again!
    Disconnect the iPod from the computer. Hold the Select and Menu button down for about 7 seconds to until you get a beep. Then hold down the Select and PLAY button for 10 seconds. This will put the unit in hard disk mode. Wait awhile until the Apple screen goes away and if you get a progress bar wait until it is gone.
    At this point it will take some finagling, but you basically hook the iPod back up to the computer and do a RESTORE. The iPod should be recognized by iPod updater. Your data MAY still be in place, but if you do not do a restore to factory defaults with the updater you will get the white-screen-three-beeps-problem again.
    Once you reboot into the language screen you can reconnect the iPOD and download your data from iTunes.
    I complained this info SHOULD be posted online. They guy was very nice and agreed but said that engineering was still collecting data. He thought it was a dumb idea not to post online or allow the first level support guys to fix the problem.
    Hey Apple...if you read this how about collecting data on your goddamned time and at your expense. You're the SOBs that collected $399 for the product! Ever seen the Comcast or AOL video on YOUTUBE? You guys could be next!

  • New 80 gig Video iPod and Handbrake problems

    I just purchased a new 80 gig Video iPod. I took one of my DVD movies that I own and used Mac The Ripper and DVD2One to get it onto my Powerbooks Hard Drive. I then used Instant Handbrake to make it iPod ready. It loaded fine into iTunes 7 (with the newest updates) and also played fine from within iTunes. When I went to sync it up with my new iPod iTunes gave me a message stating that this movie is not the correct format for this iPod. So I then tried using the full version Handbrake and got the same message. I know that either of these should work because I set a friend up with these same programs and we put his movies onto his 5th Gen 60 gig iPod without any problems. However, I researched iPod video conversions for the new iPods on the Apple website here and learned that there is a feature in iTunes 7 under advanced, when you highlight a video, you can go under Advanced and click on Convert Selection for iPod. Is this something that I'm going to have to do everytime, or does someone know an easier way to put MY DVDs into iTunes for my new 5th Gen 80 gig Video iPod? Please help because this process takes waaaaaaayyyyyyy tooooooo long!

    It all depends on what your target settings were and whether or not you were attempting to incorporate Baseline LC Profile features into your movie. Basically, if you use the H.264 codec at VGA resolutions or with video data rates which exceed 768 kbps or wish to include chaptering, then you will have to use QT Pro v7.1.3/iTunes 7 conversion (or the latest version of ffmpegX or ViddyUp!) to create an LC iPod compatible file. (MPEG Streamclip and probably HandBrake programmers are still working on their LC upgrades.)

  • Loading DVD's on 80 gig Video Ipod

    We got a new 80 gig Video Ipod for christmas and want to load our DVD's. We tried down loading a software that didn't work. Can someone make recommendation of an easy software that works, and since I am not real computer savvy any detailed instruction would be appreciated.

    There are plenty of good free programs out there. Here is a link to a discussion on just that free programs for mac and windows. http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=123067
    You really do not need to pay for a program and if you do choose to do so consider another product then the one from that is recommended by Spammers... that would be cucosoft. They are all over these threads. There are also some great pay programs out there. But again, try the free ones first. Then if not do a search and you will find many, many pay programs out there from companies far more reliable then the one recommend by the SPAMMER on this thread.
    Also another free program that works well is this one:

  • FROZEN 60 GIG Video iPod

    I have a brand new 60 GIG Video iPod. The iPod froze during the import of new music and video files. The display has the "Do not disconnect" icon and label shown in the display. Attempting to reset the iPod using the instructions from Apple's support site for iPod issues - the five R's, the iPod will not respond to any of the options provided. Is there another solution to reset the iPod or is this one just destined to be replaced under warranty?

  • Full charge in 2 hours or so (ipod touch 4g)

    Hi My ipod touch 4g charges from complete discharge to full charge in about 2 hours 20mins is this right

    I don't know whether it is normal or not, but i have the exact same thing. It happened just a moment ago. And the icon definately showed a plug and not a lightning thing. So maybe somebody else knows anything about it, because i'm also a bit worried or just a little concerned.

  • Capacity of 30 gig video ipod battery

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows the capacity of the battery for the 30 gig 5g ipod video. To clarify, i'm looking for a value in mAh, not in hours. There are more and more replacement battery kits becoming available for ipod videos and i was wondering how these replacement battery's capacity compares to the one in my ipod.
    Thanks for the help in advance.

  • 5G Video iPOD stopped charging via USB: can someone help?

    I bought 5G video iPOD last month. After about a month of charging via USB 2.0 port on WinXP desktop, iPOD no longer charges with USB port. If I connect it to desktop, it syncs songs and shows its charging but in fact it does not charge. As it can't sleep, its loosing power. If I hook it up in the night, its discharged in the morning.
    I tried to charge it in the car (with car charger), iPOD charges fine. I have tried to change ports, tried different computer (laptop) and also sent iPOD for service, NOTHING HELPS!
    I sent it for repair to Apple, but i got it back in 1 week saying its is perfect condition and no other details. (Very disappointed with Apple's lack of service)
    Right now, I am stuck with iPOD not charging with any USB port. How do I solve this? Can the usb ports suddenly become low powered from high powered? Please advice.

  • Battery icon just says "not charging" full charge takes 9 hours :(

    Regardless if I select time or %, next to the battery icon just says "not charging". It does not read out how much time or % of battery life I have left. Also the battery went to zero and when I plugged it in, it says a full charge would be almost 9 hours....is this normal. The cyce count is 125 and condition is normal......thoughts? thanks

    I had a similar problem with my black macbook... I took it to the Genius bar and they determined that it was a faulty charger. The light on my charger would flicker orange/green/orange/green. sometimes no light at all. They replaced it. But since my battery had been recharged over 300 times, they replaced the battery as well. Since then---no problems with charging.

  • 30 GIG Video iPod, Video Options not available - Please help!

    Hi.
    I have a 30 GIG iPod Video 5th gen, with the latest iPod updater software installer on it.
    But when I look at the iPod preferences, when it's plugged in via USB, all Video options (manual vs automatic etc) are all greyed out and not available for selection.
    And I can't drag any videos onto the iPod (even with the right video format!).
    It's like the iPod itself doesn't recognised that it is an Video one, like it has a complex and can only deal with music and photos.
    Can anyone help or offer advice?
    Anyone had a similar problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for your help guys.
    Even with the iPod set to manual, I couldn't drag iPod format videos directly onto it.
    Did a factory restart, and it has fixed the problem.
    And just a note; the options in the video tab will always be greyed out, when the iPod is set to manually update songs.
    cheers!

  • Software problem with 30 gig video ipod and itunes 7?

    ok ever since ive had my ipod it works nice
    now. since ive moved over to itunes 7 its messed up
    the first time, it didnt even update the software all the way and i had to restore it manually cuz i had 2 softwares on my iod.
    also when i ejected and pluged back in my itunes didnt see my ipod but windows did. thats also why i had to do the reformat/restore manually
    now here is the problem. is any one haveing this problem also
    anyt ime ive tried to update the content (music, videos, photos, podcasts, and what not) i got a problem saying
    "attempting to copy to the disk "bernard lor" failed. the disk could not be read from or written to"
    that happened the first 3 times. i un installed the software and reformatted my ipod.
    tried to update it with the previous up dater and when it was intilizing it said "Ipod service error"
    so then i just went and reinstalled itunes 7
    now . the first time i tried to update the contents, it didnt update, tried it agian and about 10 of 674 songs went on it and it was done :S
    confused i did it agian and another 180 went on. then it said "attempting to copy to the disk "bernard lor" failed. the disk could not be read from or written to"
    so far every time ive dont it it just adds more songs to the ipod but in chunks. and never updates the whole thing in one shot like it used to
    its been about 5 times since re installing itunes that it has said "attempting to copy to the disk "bernard lor" failed. the disk could not be read from or written to"
    and im still not done updating all the songs.
    is this a soft ware problem or what.
    do i have to now shell out more money for another ipod and this one isnt even a year old its commin up to a year in november. i got this ipod the 3rd week it came out last year.
    im stuck as to what to do.
    is anyone else havein gthis problem?
    i guess the real thing i have a probme with is
    1 is my ipod broken
    2 is ther a problem where all the songs cant be loaded up at the same time?
    3 why does my screen dim down when pluged in and not go off compleatly like it used to. i never ever saw the screen go from on and light up to dimed down but still on:S it usually goes straight to no light on.
    any one have thoughts or experience any of this?

    Last week there was a customer service phone number and I was able to talk to a very nice woman, Michelle, who tried several steps with me to repair. When we got off the line, I was given a case number to use to call back if the patch she emailed to me did not work. She did say that this is an issue with 7 and PCs that has not been resolved.
    Stupid me did not write the phone number down and it has been removed from their web site. I guess the amount of calls was too much.
    Like others, I have never even used my 30GB Ipod because of version 7. When Itunes does recognize it, it won't sync without trying to restore and then all of it crashes. I put it back in the box and keep checking the website for new software.

  • 30-gig video iPod and new games

    I downloaded one of the new games (Mahjong) to my WinXP iTunes (v.7.0) w/o problem, but I can't load it to my iPod (v.1.2) without getting the "can't run it on this computer" error message. {Yes, I know we can't run these games w/i iTunes on the computer .. that's not the issue!} I tried changing my iPod settings (w/i iTunes) to sync. all games .. and Mahjong was listed .. and then I tried "dragging" the game to my connected iPod .. no luck.
    Any ideas?
    DSeagrave: Correcton .. the error message says I'm not authorized to play the game on this computer.
    Message was edited by: DSeagrave

    yeop, thats video
    well, perhaps sign in to iTunes Music store with the user ID that u used to buy the game... its a long shot, but it could be some weird bug.
    you are using the same computer that you used to purchase the game correct?
    hmm.. thats a long shot.. but it's worth a go...
    aside from that i would suggest ringing apple, or going into an Apple store..
    or, "restore" your iPod software? reinstalling iTunes..
    they are rather nasty options... anyone else got suggestions?
