Videos to ipod and miscellaneous questions

Hi
I just bought my 5G video ipod 2 weeks ago. I really like it and it doesnt give me any problems. However i seem to have a number of problems with iTunes:
1) I tried putting all my .avi videos on iTunes and it did not add them and only the .mpg ones were added. I dloaded a 3rd party converter and it worked fine afterwards. But i still wonder why iTunes does not recognize .avi files. does anyone know?
2) on the iTunes music store, i do not see any links to video TV show downloads. I see a link to music videos and trailers but no TV show link. I do believe i have the latest version of itunes as well.
3) this is just a quick question to get to know if my ipod battery is normal. When i play music it gives me about 8-10 hours only. and if i play a video or view photos im assuming the battery wud die in an hour. is that normal?
4) when i connect my ipod to the usb at work (only for charging purposes, i do not have itunes installed at my work pc) it starts charging, but then i get the do not disconnect sign on the ipod. but if i eject the hardware (i know u can if u eject it from itunes, however i do not have itunes installed so i eject it manuallly) it stops charging. Is there any way to listen to music and let it charge at the same time in such a case?
I know these are a lot of questions but i jus hope someone can clarify. will greatly appreciate help
Thanks
Compaq Presario Laptop Windows XP

i can help with 3) and 4)
3)yes it is normal for the battery to act like that. when u listen to music it last about 8-10 hrs depening on hhow mush of the ipod gig uve used up and when u play a video it should last around 3 hrs. and then when u turn it off after a video let the ipod rest for a little bit and u will gain a little bit more of battery life.
4)No there isnt cause when it is hooked up to a computer it automaticly nows that its being connected to a compter so there isnt a way to listen to it while it is charging on a computer. But there is on way to listen and let it charge. u have to by a wall charger and use the usb the ipod came with connect into the charger box and connect the charger box into the wall and plug in ur ipod. When it is charging connected to the wall dont put it on hold and push the main button until the apple logo appears and then u can listen to ur songs while its charging using a wall charger.

How to delete the videos in Ipod and Itunes ?

If you don't want the video on your iphone then uncheck the video in itunes and sync your phone. If you want it removed from both the phone and itunes delete it from itunes and sync your phone.

Click wheel ipod and vista question

Hello, I have a 4G click wheel 40 gig ipod (updater version 3.1.1) and I have been using my mothers computer which has windows xp and i haven't upgraded itunes to the version 8. I was given a new computer (32 bit) which is running windows vista basic. My question is am I going to have problems with using vista basic and my older ipod? I have heard that it was turning older ipods into bricks and have been scared to transfer everything over to the new computer.
Also, I am using it with an Alpine KCA-420i (got it the same time as the ipod) in the truck, and it worked great for a while and for the past two years it freezes up, skips songs or just won't work and was wandering if it was due to upgrading itunes? The last time the ipod was updated was for the version it is running now.
I am trying to be careful with my ipod since it got frozen during an ice storm (no electricity for nine days) and left in the truck in bellow freezing temps for a couple of hours. The hard drive didn't appreciate it and is now not really working all that great. clicking, whirling ,grinding noises ya give it a couple good whacks on the back or sides it starts to work again. I read some post on reformatting the disk, last time i tried it the ipod froze but now i am going to try again. I did the diagnostic mode solution and it keeps getting frozen in the HDD scan.
Sorry this is long, but if anybody has any suggestions or answers that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I don't have a guide or anything, but it is almost as easy as replacing it with another hard drive, and there are online guides for doing that, for example
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Device/iPod4th_Generation_orPhoto
Be sure to use those plastic tools. If you use metal ones, you will damage the iPod's case.
And it's a Compact Flash card that I used, not an SD card (which is smaller). Compact Flash cards 16GB and below are getting affordable (if you shop around online), although 32GB and higher ones are still expensive. 4GB cards are very cheap, so you may want to try it with one of those, to confirm it works, since it is always possible there are other problems with your iPod.
1. Get one of these adapters, or equivalent. It's $5 with shipping included.
[CF Compact-Flash SSD To Toshiba IPod 1.8 inch Adapter|http://cgi.ebay.com/CF-Compact-Flash-SSD-To-Toshiba-IPod-1-8-inch-Adapt erW0QQitemZ180303249125QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Cables_Adapters?hash=item29fae93ee5& _trksid=p3911.c0.m14&trkparms=72%3A1240%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A2% 7C294%3A50]
The listing above on eBay is the same item from the same seller as the one I bought.
2. It fits in the iPod case with only one minor mod. There is a pair of jumper pins, used for the master/slave setting; you can see it on the image in the listing (on the left side). You want it with the jumper ON, for the master setting. It sticks out too much, so I just bent the pins 90 degrees with needle nose pliers, and the jumper still fits. If your 4G iPod is the 40GB model, it has the thicker drive and case, so it may fit fine without bending it over.
3. Connect the Compact Flash card to the adapter and connect the adapter where the 1.8-inch hard drive was connected. You need to put something non-conducting between the logic board and the adapter/CF card. A stiff piece of paper (like a business card) would work; I cut a piece of clear plastic from the +impossible to open without hurting yourself+ packaging material that most tech products come packed in these days. Cut it to the right rectangle shape to fit between the logic board and adapter/CF card without sliding around.
4. The adapter plus CF Card is much smaller than the hard drive, so you need to fill that space to avoid it rattling around. Cardboard pieces would work, but if you want to take advantage of the lighter weight, get something light. I used some of that flexible foamy packing sheets that are used to wrap around delicate items for shipping. I cut appropriate size pieces to take up the extra space. I put one layer between the adapter/CF card and the logic board and the rest between the adapter/CF card and the metal half of the case.
Then, you just connect the iPod and run a Restore, as if it was a regular 4G iPod. The three key advantages are better shock resistance, lighter weight, and no drive spin-up delay. The only real disadvantage is lower capacity, unless you get a more expensive CF card with higher capacity.
Note to other readers: I also tried this retrofit with an older 3rd gen iPod. It did not work for me and the parts I used; I could not get the iPod to format or restore with the Compact Flash card inside.

Playing video on ipod(and yes i did search for this)

Okay well i converted my video files to MP4 format and most of em go on to itunes fine then when i put them on my ipod(it is an ipod video) i go to videos and play them and the sound is messed up. Like you can hear it then not and goes on and off the whole video. I have checked and the settings match the settings that the ipod can do. So just seeing if any one can fix this problem cause it sorta dystroys the purpose of the movies.
btw i am using this program called PQ DVD. Its a good program for converting videos but i dont know if its affecting the sound at all. I think its the i pod because all the videos are working with full sound on itunes.
I guess ill just try to redo the movies if anyone can help please do.
thanks

The ability of ITunes to play your file and your IPOD playing them are totally different. One uses software and the other hardware to play the file. Your answer to your problem will be on PQ DVD 's web site, not this one. Just because the setting say they are correct does not mean that the file it produces is correct. A lot can go wrong during the encoding phase. Check the completed file. Does it meet specs for MPEG4? Purchase a video from ITUNes and see if that plays okay. That will tell you for sure if your IPOD is messed up or not.

Best settings for mp4 video for ipod and watching on imac (apple tv)

Have a few films in mp2 format (recorded from digital tv) and want to use mpeg stream clip (1.93b version )software to convert to mp4 that will play on ipod and look ok on a imac 20'screen.
Ive converted a couple but these do not play correctly on ipod (sound ok, just a collection of still frames-prob to high a bit rate etc..)
What are everyones settings for mp4 that looks ok on 20inch screen and the small ipod screen?
cheers,

Try converting using iSquint (just google it). This should be good.

HT2729 I have iTunes and iPod and iPhone question

I just downloaded and installed new iTunes on my tablet and attempted to sync my ipod songs to itunes. itunes is telling me this will empty my ipod. assuming i go ahead and sync from ipod to itune, will i be able to snyc my songs back into ipod and to my iphone ??

No.
The Sync with this new iTunes Library will remove the current content of your iPod and put onto the iPod only what is already in the Library. It will not transfer music from the iPod to iTunes.
For music that you have purchased from the iTunes Store, sign into your account and access those songs through the Store. For music from other sources, such as your CDs, you neeed to transfer the music from the old computer into the new Library before connecting th iPod to it.
I'm curious, what tablet do you have that you have downloaded iTunes onto?

HT4236 Auto Sync ipod and iphone question

I have a iphone and my son has ipod and when ever he gets a new ap it goes to my phone hes 7 and so its alot of crazy things I googled to see how to stop and I came across to go to itunes under edit go tp preferences and then device and check don't allow auto sync between iphone ipod ipad but will that effect my icloud and my sync to itunes when we connect to computer. Thank you for your time

Sounds like you are sharing the same Apple ID for the iTunes Store.
If so, on your iPhone go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads. Turn all off on your iPhone. If your son doesn't want to receive any of your downloads done direct with your iPhone, he needs to do the same on his iPod Touch.
iTunes on your computer includes the same but there is an option under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to not automatically install new apps in iTunes on your iPhone when syncing.

Windows File compatibility, my iPod, and other questions

After years of gripping about doing Video and Photo editing on my PC, I am considering switching to a Mac. But, given I have a heavy investment in PC hardware, I want to make sure I can leverage everything the best way possible. So...
1.) I have a 20GB clickwheel iPod...any problem using this with a Mac? Need to be reformatted or anything?
2.) Can you access ActiveX based websites without problems?
3.) I have a Windows XP machine with 4 drives in RAID format. Could I use this as a common storage network drive for both Mac and PC's at the same time (for instance, store MP3's on it, and access and play them from either the iMac and other Windows PC's without a problem?). What about jpg formatted pictures? Any nuances between PC and Mac formats? (or is jpg really just jpg on either machine...I can open up the same picture on a Mac and a PC and see the exact same picture, without major color changes, etc.).
I realize I need to reformat to FAT, but other than that, are their other problems I should know about? (I would like to use the RAID configuration to make sure I don't lose any data)
That should start for now...
Thanks - Jeff

IPOD and iTrip Question

I just received my 5th Gen Ipod Nano 16gb yesterday and when trying to listen to it in my car using my iTrip, the sound is completely flat and non-bassy. I noticed that the problem was gone once and the sound was fine/full-sounding, but evidently whenever I use the onboard speakers beforehand, the sound in my car (using the itrip) is completely flat and basically sounds like the speakers. Even turning the sound completely off on the iPOD (doesn't affect the volume on the radio) does nothing!
Is anybody experiencing this problem?
Please Help.
Message was edited by: MPLSshutdown

There are limitations on what the iTrip can exactly transmit through the airwaves to your stereo...
As bass is possible but again depends on the radio transmission strenght and format.
Have you tried any additional channels? and which version of the iTrip are you using? I've used some with my older classics and thought that the iTrip worked quite well with the edition that I used for that edition.
Also, have you played changed the iPod from it's standard Equalizer settings? If you have the equilizer in the iPod enabled, try disabling it. Equally if you don't feel like your getting enough base try enabling it to see if the change helps with the sounds.... It could be based on the radio, reciever and transmitter...
As some of the newer cars have the antenna buit into the back window, some ontop and others on the front hood... I've used the iTrips with the cars with the antenna on the hood and the iTrip/iPod up on the front dash/cupholders... No issues with them in the past.
Let us know some of the details to try and assist you furhter.

How to transfer camara roll videos between ipods for working on iMovie?

I would like to share homemade videos between 6 ipods. We are using them for a school project. I have already tried using Itunes, dropbox... and it doesn't work.
I know how to copy videos to my computer and I also know how to add them using iTunes.
The point is that I need to share videos between ipods, and be able to work on iMovie using those videos. For example, I´m working on a project using 6 different iPod. When we are finish recording the videos, we want to transfer all of them to one Device. Is that possible? How?
Thank you,

I came across this solution: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC531ZM/A
Is there any way to do it?

My sons dad bought him and ipod and my niece used her itunes library to add music and videos on it. They live in another state and we have questions because we don't want him to lose all of the music or any of the apps.

My son's dad bought him an ipod and my niece used her itune library to put music and videos on his ipod. The problem we are haveing is that she lives in another state and we are not sure how to manange his account without losing some of the songs and all of his apps. There are some songs that are on his ipod that are duplicates, there are some songs that he doesn't like or listen to, and there are some songs on there that I do NOT want him to listen to because of the language and the lyrics. He is 10 there are just some things I feel that he is too young to listen to.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can use different ID's for iTunes and iCloud.
Just delete the account in settings > iCloud and create them their own account.
if the children are minors, you wiil need to create and be responsible for each account yourself.

30G Video IPod and Windows Vista - Help!

I just recently bought a new computer equipped with Windows Vista. I have a 12" G4 iBook that was my main computer from which I ran my 30G Video iPod, and now I am wanting to sync my iPod with my new Windows computer, and this will be the only system I use with my iPod.
I realize there are many problems with compatibility of iTunes/iPods with Windows Vista.
My question is, barring the problems with iTunes, I downloaded the latest iTunes anyways and tried to use Yamipod to bring my 1600+ songs onto my computer from my iPod by bypassing iTunes. Problem is, my computer doesn't even recognize the iPod at all. iTunes does, but when I cancel the box asking me to reformat my iPod to Windows format and try to use Yamipod, Yamipod doesn't even recognize an iPod existing. I thought maybe it was just the program, so I tried about 4 others, but nothing. I also used the cd that came with my iPod and put the drivers onto this computer, but the actual computer still doesn't even recognize it plugged in.
Any ideas? Also, because a lot of my songs are in m4a format, how will that work if I am able to put them on this computer? Will I have to convert them all to mp3?
Thank you for any help you can give.

And given that Vista has been available in Release
candidate version for ages and that the release date
has been known for ages, shouldn't apple have made
the effort to make itunes compatible with Vista?
After all, the vast majority of itunes users live in
Windows land.
perhaps you should familiarise yourself with the common usage and implications of the symbol string
but as you clearly aren't familiar with it, if i took your question seriously, which i don't, then the answer is no...
your argument is that being first and being in the majority rules
that'll be apple then won't it
i) i can't be bothered to check the itunes release date, certainly it was out in 2001, which is several years before microsoft even figured out what to call the os formerly known as longhorn, let alone finished sawing off the pieces it couldn't make work
ii) the majority of people with portable music players use ipod/itunes, so it is for microsoft to conform with the majority and not make changes that impair the products used by the majority
so, by your own argument, it is microsoft's responsibility to maintain compatibility

Question I just got my ipod and I am currently converting my top five movie

to ipod format to be able to view them on my Ipod now I have two questions the first one is I have my fav movies saved in h.264 format each movie 1.5 gigs now when I converted my first one it created a duplicate of that specific movie my guess is one if the Ipod format and the other is the one I had originally in Itunes now my first question is if I sync it into my Ipod and then delete the duplicate movie that the conversion created, will I still be able to see the movie on my Ipod and the second question is does it make a diference which copy of the movie I delete, because I only wanna have one of each in my itunes, but I wanna make sure that the one I converted to ipod format is of the same quality of the original movie I had before converting it. So I guess I wanna know if saving the ipod converted one and deleting the original will lose quality. I know I saved the original one as a 1.5 gig so hopefully when I convert to ipod it doesn't compress the movie, if it does I would like to keep the original movie and delete the converted one. Sorry for the long question, but I just got my ipod yesterday and I'm loving it.

thank you for the info well my question was I always had movies in my movie section in itunes now when I converted those into ipod format it created another copy of the movie. So I have two copies of evey movie now, so I wanna know if I can delete the copy tha was created and still have it stored on my Ipod or if I keep the copy that was created if I would lose any video quality and sound quality, I'm not sure what happens when we convert to ipod format just wanna make sure if I delete the old copy that I don't lose any quality
