  • My ipod keeps freezing up between screens

    My ipod keeps freezing up between screens.. it won't reboot... the only way i can fix it is to let the battery die and recharge it...

    When your iPod freezes, it's not necessary to wait until the battery drains, you should just be able to reset it. If the freezing persists, then try restoring it.
    Yes, you should be able to get it serviced under the warranty if the fault persists.

  • 30gb iPod Video freezes

    Could someone please help me, or tell me if this is 'normal'?
    I bought a 30bg iPod Video about 10 days ago. I installed the software on my computer...reset the iPod when I first plugged it in. Loaded up about 750 songs and about 35 pics.
    The thing is, EVERYTIME I go running (basically every time I use it) it freezes. The play icon is still on the screen, but the song is not playing. Sometimes it happens in the middle of the song, sometimes before the song starts. (By the way, I always have the iPod on shuffle...does this make a difference?)
    Saturdat morning, I had to reset it 3 times!!!!
    The battery seems to run down fairly quickly, as well.
    Have I done something wrong, or did I get a bad unit.
    Help!

    So what the support guy says is fairly true. The video has a hard drive and a small RAM buffer. The nano is all RAM. Hard drive's don't like being moved around and if the video is reading the hard drive at the time, it's going to skip and potentially freeze.
    See iPod : Maximizing skip protection
    and Troubleshooting songs that skip on iPod
    So if you're using a playlist with any videos on it, that's really bad (cause videos eat up a lot of the RAm buffer).
    But if you have long songs that can aggravate the situation too.
    Best option is to get a nano or a shuffle if you want to run. If you want to try staying with the video and run, position it somewhere that minimizes motion (a fanny back or belt clip may help) or higher up on the arm for an armband.
    Oh, I just read your bit about having it on shuffle - yes that is bad. When it's not on shuffle it will read as much o the playlist as it can into RAM. When it's on shuffle, it doesn't know what the next songs are going to be. Even with shuffle off, manually changing songs repeatedly can have a similar effect. Just build a playlist you like and run with it.

  • Ipod Video Freezes

    Hi everyone I'm just wondering how to fix my ipod.
    I know someone just put up a post just like it
    I just got the new update for my 60GB Ipod Video. Before the update it was fine the videos played normally but now my videos will play normally for about 30seconds then freeze then play but without any sound.
    I don't know what happened, was it the update? or do I just need to do something?
    Thanks for the help!

    This solution has worked to stop this from happening:
    The solution is:
    1) Open up the Video file in Quicktime Pro
    2) Select File->Export
    3) Select "Movie to MPEG-4" beside "Export:", then click the OPtions button
    4) Select "Video" and make sure that the "Video Format" is set to "Pass through"
    5) Do the same for "Audio", then hit OK
    6) Save the file
    Basically what this does is rewrites the MPEG-4 "container" that the video is stored in. It seems that the iPod with the 1.1 firmware has a problem with the container as created by Videora and other programs. By simply rewriting the container, the videos play fine. This process can take up to a minute or two depending on the size of the file, but still MUCH faster than straight-up encoding via Quicktime Pro.
    The other solution is to reconvert the file using other software that doesn't cause this problem. So far others have reported that the Nero Recode converted files have not caused this to happen while playing movies on the iPod.

  • Need help with ipod video, problems with blinking screen, wont charge

    Hello,
    I'm a new owner of an ipod video, and I've had it for not even two weeks and haven't used it but 3 or 4 times, and I went to turn it on and nothing happened, so I figured the battery died. Then I hooked it up to the usb and computer (windows xp OS) and nothing except a fast blinking white screen and a low noise, not music though. It wont charge, and I even reinstalled everything and used all the tips online- any words of advice except to take it to an apple store?

    Apple decided to hide the user library folder with OS10.7. You can get to it by using the menu.
    Quit Illustrator.
    Method one....
    In the Finder choose Go > Go To Folder and type "~/Library" (no quotes) and hit OK.
    Your Library folder will open.
    Then navigate to ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings
    Move that Settings folder to your desktop.
    Restart Illustrator and try exporting again.
    If it works as expected, you can trash teh Settings folder on your desktop.
    Since you're removing preferences, items like Scratch Disk settings will need to be reconfigured in Illustrator if you've altered them from the default settings.
    Second method.....
    Hold Command-Option-Shift when you launch Illustrator.
    Preferences will be removed.
    You won't get any sort of dialog or window confirming this, it just happens.
    Reason for two methods.
    Method one allows you to put the settings folder back if yoru problem is not cured by removing it. It also allows you to move items back to the new Settings folder that is created (like Workspaces).

  • Ipod video freeze

    Ipod Video is frozen and even pressing middle button + Menu button does not reset it. Is it just OLD or can i reformat it to make it work and not hang up.

    How long did you hold the Select/Center and Menu button combo? It can take some time before you see the Apple logo to appear.  Also make sure the hold switch along the top of the device is not in the On position.
    Otherwise, you'll need to let the iPod's battery drain.  Then charge it back up and restore in iTunes if necessary.

  • 30 gig iPod video freezes

    I've had this iPod since they first came out. What it's doing to my now is while playing a song, it just freezes. It won't play any more, it won't let me go back and forth in my menus, it won't fast forward, and most importantly, it won't let me reset! I have to unplug the charger and wait until the battery dies before plugging it back in and letting it come to life once more only to freeze again in an unknown amount of time. The only thing I can do once it freezes is if I touch the scroll wheel and the screen wasn't lit, the screen lights up and remains lit until the iPod battery dies. It does this without any movement at all and I'm using a dock connector plug for audio and charging simultaneously.

    Yes, I have. It did not help.
    Just thought I would checked because you made no mention of it in the previous post.
    How about a reformat of the iPod using *Disk Utility*? This article provides instructions on how to do just that.

  • IPod Video freezes often - safe to reset so often??

    Hey - my iPod 5G 30GB freezes every time I disconnect it from my iHome alarm clock/stereo. I always just reset it (menu & center button) and it works again but I don't know how good it is for the iPod to be reset so often. Anybody know if it's ok, or have other suggestions of how to handle/prevent the constant freezing?? Thanks much

    A restore might be worth a try with this constantly-freezing kind of issue.

  • Loading videos freezes my mac screen!

    Video loading causes my mac screen to freeze forcing me to restart the mac! any ideas would be aprecited

    It's time to get back to basics since we know very little about your system and how you are trying to view the videos.
    What model iMac do you have?
    What version of the OS is installed?
    What application(s) are you using to view the videos?
    Have you tried creating a new user account to see if the issue goes away?
    Is there another application you can try to vide the same video? (eg use Firefox instead of Safari)
    Have you run the built in Apple Hardware Test diagnostic to see if it generates any errors?
    Have you tried booting in safe mode?  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564

  • Video freezing in full screen mode

    When I'm watching a video in full screen mode, the video will sometimes freeze for a few seconds or until I move my mouse.  The audio keeps playing but the picture will keep freezing.  Last time this happened it went away with the latest Chrome update.  But not this time.  This is very fustrating....please help!!

    Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, it may be worth making an appointment at the genius bar and having them run the test for the NVIDIA problem. Since your replacement logic board still has the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GT video chip, it could be starting to happen to your replacement logic board.
    I also agree with all of CMCSK's suggestions. Freezing is often associated with hard drive problems. You might also want to run SMART Utility:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
    You can download the demo and run it several times for free. It will give you a very comprehensive view of the physical health of your hard drive. If you still have the original one from 2007, it's getting pretty long in the tooth and may be approaching the end of its average useful life of 3-5 years. I just recently had to replace my original 2007 Fujitsu drive.
    If your drive is headed south, and is also too small, it may be time to upgrade to a larger and faster drive.
    The software update probably didn't cause the problems, but it may have exposed problems that were already in existence.
    Good luck!

  • IPod video freezes - a workaround

    Hi everybody,
    I've read a lot on the new "features" introduced by apple in the iPod 1.1 firmware.
    I also have a 60GB iPod and yes, mine also stops video playback after around 30 seconds and then continues without sound.
    I have found a small workaround and am curious if that works for anybody else:
    Start a self-converted video (I used Videora) and wait for the first freeze. After the video continues, rewind or fast-forward the video a few seconds (it doesn't really matter) and then press pause.
    Now you'll have to wait until you hear the hard-disk spinning down. Wait another 5-10 seconds and then press pause again to continue the video playback.
    And voila - it works (for me). All my videos work perfectly with that small workaround.
    To me this is the proof that Apple has messed things up in the 1.1 firmware - and not only video playback, also a few other things should improve in the next update (which I hope will be released SOON!).

    Ok it seems that I solved that problem by doing the restore thing. I guess I made this thread due to frustration heh.
    Now my problem is that when I connect the iPod it takes a while for the iTune to recognize it, why is that? Cause this doesn't happen with my Nano.

  • Ipod video freezing

    i have the nero version with the ipod compatible h.264 convector. the video are ripped at 640*480 1000kbps and 128kbps and the always seem to slightly freeze and the start back up. really anoying

    Restoring it is a good step to take in your case to make sure it's not the iPod software causing the issue. Reset the iPod (hold the center and menu button till the apple logo comes up) and as it boots back up, put it next to your ear. If you hear any clicking, grinding or such noises, it's probably hard drive failure, which can happen without the sad face icon. Skipping and pausing can be caused by a dying drive.

  • Need Help - ipod video in trouble - white screen won't go away - help??

    White Scree appears and won't go away. Can someone help?

    Apple engineers have determined that this is caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod. Try these steps.
    Reset the iPod.
    If the reset doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode.
    How to put the iPod into disk mode.
    Now connect the iPod to the computer. This step may immediately take you to the iPod's normal display screen. Reset the iPod to exit disk mode.
    If you still have the white screen, then you should use the updater to restore the iPod.
    Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure). In my experience, the software updater for version 1.1.1 takes longer to complete the process than previous updaters.
    That should cure the issue.
    If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.
    See: iPod service request.
