Problems with TED video podcast in ipod classic 80gb

I have a lot of TED video podcast on my itunes on PC but i can't listen and view it on my ipod, i've red somewhere that video podcast with 46kbps are no longer supported by ipod classic? is that right?
there are any solutions?
please help me, i'm really interested in it

Yes, I'm still stuck too.
Some of my TED videos showed up in iTunes under "movies" when I migrated to a new computer; likely iTunes found the native files. These movies play fine but re-subscribing to the TED video podcast and trying to play them under "podcasts" on my iPod Classic (120 gb), they still won't play (screen goes black for about 1 sec, then it skips to the next podcast...repeat until entire list is done).
I saw someone post about a "convert to iPod", but I can't find that option in iTunes (windows 8, iTunes 11)
Thoughts?

My apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. can't restore.

Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. the only way to unfreeze it is by detatching the ipod or resetting with menu/centre (until it loads up again, where it immediately unfreezes and comes up with a load of messages saying "cannot read iPod" and when i try and restore it by pressing menu/centre button while it's plugged in, it says "cannot restore as it is being used by another program" or "error 1415". Any ideas how to sort this out? hope i haven't majorly screwed it up. thanks.

Sorted it out.

IPod classic 80GB suddenly stops showing on iTunes both on explorer and finder (I use windows 7 and Mac OSX) Any help?Tried everything nothing works!!!

Hello everyone.
I have bought an (admittedly used) iPod classic 80GB on New Year's this year.For the better part of this month it was working beautifully.I was lucky that I got it.But just a week ago,it started bugging out.It would mount on iTunes and I would drag and drop music and videos on it but could only do it one at a time or it froze.This continued on for a couple days then finally yesterday it won't show on itunes at all.I tried resetting it,changing usb ports but it still wouldn't show except on plugged devices on ''Computer'' and on Finder (I have been trying to make it show on my macbook as well with no luck either)
I ever resorted to trying to remove completely and reinstall iTunes.still won't show and unfortunately for some reason whenever I try to reinstall it now on my windows 7 it says something about it ''missing a key'' and stopping the installation.
Can anyone offer me any solutions?I am growing pretty desperate here as the last time i managed to do a ''drag and drop'' to put my videos and music in it,any movie I dropped into the iPod,even though it shows on the device,it won't play at all -.-
PS.The ipod had been updated and formatted on my windows 7 if that helps any....
PS2.I had restored my iPod twice both on Windows 7 and on my MacBook when the freezing issue had happened when i plugged it in on my PC.It is currently updated and formatted on windows
PS3.iPod is on disk mode already and now still can't reinstall itunes 11
SOS Someone help me Offer me some solutions other than the ones I've already tried??

I am still having the problem. I have noticed a pattern to the seemingly random freezes.
The iPod is stopping to Sync at almost predictable points during the sync. The first stoppage occurs around the 1.9GB part of the sync. This has not always been the same file but it is always around the same place.
When I sync in small chunks the freeze occurs at almost the same place every time. As soon as it freezes, iTunes is toast and the entire computer needs to be restarted.
Anyways, the freeze happens around every 2GB's of data transferred. It does not have to be in one chunk, it is almost like it is happening on the iPod. Like the iPod is kicking itself out of the sync at certain points along it's hard drive or something. Once it freezes and I restart the computer, I can transfer another 2 GB before it freezes again... then restart, repeat. Finally I was able to load up the 14.8 GB I had in my iTunes. Several hours later... not sure if I should take the iPod back or not. If it is the iPod and that fixes the problem great... but if it is my machine, I get another 3-4 hours syncing and restarting my computer. Wheeee!

Itunes won't let me add any more videos for my ipod classic

Hi
I got a ipod classic (80gb) for christmas and I have now added 3.2 hours of video onto itunes which has been synced to my Ipod however itunes will now not let me add any more videos -even though I have added no music files on it as yet , could it be because all the videos I have downloaded myself and converted to mp4 via a internet program? could anybody help as my ipod is supose to play up to 100 hours of video files.
Thanks for everyones help

What is the file suffix of the video files you are trying to add to iTunes? What application did you use to create them?

IPod Classic 80GB - "iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" It says it has synced but it hasn't. Help please I am not very tech minded

iPod Classic 80GB. Message reads ' iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation'. It says it has synced but it hasn't. Please help, I am not very tech minded.

See this article about troubleshooting the error message regarding access privelages. It may be preventing your iTunes library from being able to save/retain music you have recently imported to it, which may explain why no new content is being added to your device.

How come my ipod classic 80gb wont show up on my computer or itunes

can anyone tell me why my ipod classic 80gb wont show up on my computer anywhere

Hi lllaass,
Do you know of any solutions to restore my ipod touch generation 1 or 2 I think. Itunes says it cannot restore and now it won't work? Do I have to go to an apple store or do you have any advise?
Thanks!

IPod Classic 80Gb, wont show up in iTunes 8, but does in Finder

Just plugged my iPod classic 80Gb in and it wont show in iTunes 8, although it shows up in Finder
Tried a iPod reset. restarted my Mac but no good.
Come on man I need to do a sync....

I have a similar problem.
This morning, all music was gone from my iPod, just like that. I had been having troubles with playing a couple of songs last night if that's connected. Anyway, I connect it to my Macbook. I try to reset it through iTunes and that was done, I pressed eject and ejected it when it said OK to disconnect -- although when I did so it said it wasn't ejected properly. Now when I connect it appears in Finder as a device (like that thingy that appears when you install stuff, a white thing) but it doesn't in iTunes. In fact, as soon as I plug it in iTunes freezes and I can't open it or do anything in there, the marker just shows that it's loading.
What do I do?

Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod. It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restore bcause there are files that are used by other application. I am having Widows

My iPOD appears in My Computer in drive H as a mass storage generick volume

Try disabilng the Enable Disk Use option from under the iPod's Summary tab, applying the changes, and seeing if that helps.
Otherwise, temporarily disabling any antivirus, security, firewall, or file indexing software that may be running on your system and then try restoring your iPod again.

i have ipod classic,80gb,i cant restorit via itunes and when i click restore i see the error1439 plz help me.is there any software to reset it

Hello adifromba
Try putting your iPod Classic into Disk Mode to force a restore within iTunes to get it to show up. The steps to do that are within the first article below, I have also provided a second article for further troubleshooting if it continues to not show up.

Can't find my movies on my iPod Classic 80GB

I downloaded some free comedy podcasts that are in movie format. At first they wouldn't copy to my iPod Classic 80GB. I then figured out that I needed to create a new version using the menu option in iTunes. I did that and sucessfully copied the 8 podcasts to my iPod. With my iPod connected to my computer, I can see the "Movies" category on my iPod and the 8 podcast videos that I placed there. However, when I disconnect my iPod and search for them, I cannot find them on the iPod. There is no "Movie" category on my iPod and looking for each one via the "search" feature comes up with no results. What gives?
If it matters, I'm using a MacBook running 10.6.8 and using iTunes v. 11.0.1
Thanks in advance for any ideas/help you can provide.

Ah! But iTunes and iPods have so many options, it's sometimes difficult to know them all.
I just happen to know that one.
and that's what this forum is for!

IPod Classic 80Gb intermittent problems

My iPod Classic 80Gb is starting to become a bit tempremental especially when used in the car but also at home although right now it is playing away fine through my hi-fi system. What happens is that seemingly at random the Apple logo appears on the screen and the device resets itself which is quite annoying when you're driving along. This iPod is now 6 years old and has the original battery and so the problems I am having might be due to the battery getting old.
In the car I am playing it through a Parrot MKi9200 bluetooth car kit http://www.parrot.com/uk/products/hands-free-car-kits/parrot-mki9200/ which connects using the 30 pin connector although I could also use the 3.5mm jack but that doesn't display the song being played on the small LCD screen. At home I am playing it mostly through the 3.5mm jack to RCA (phono) into the aux input on my amplifier.
My iPod is synced with iTunes quite often as I'm always adding more music and the battery seems generally to be well topped up. There are times when I've been on a long car journey when the iPod obviously stops because the battery has gone too low but the majority of journeys in the car are short ones around town when the battery isn't getting too low. When the battery has gone too low it takes a while to get the iPod going again as the battery has to be charged before anything happens, whereas these freezes when the Apple screen comes up are short things which the iPod recovers from fairly quickly.
What I am trying to work out is if a new battery would solve the problems I am having or whether there might be something else needing replaced as well. If it was just the battery then I'd probably replace it but if it is more than that then I'd rather put the money I'd spend repairing it into a new iPod. Having said that I've heard that you can put a solid state hard drive in an iPod and I'm wondering if Apple will be releasing an iPod with a large ss hard drive as I think I read the current iPod Classic was to be the last in the line.

Hi Snoopyathome.
You have the inccorect cable for the classic 80/160. The cable you have is described on this link: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=B5F 4A608&fnode=home/shopipod/ipod_accessories/cablesdocks&nplm=M9765G/B .
This is the incorrect cable for the classic. The cable you purchased plugs into the earphone jack and can be used with previous versions of the iopd, including "ipod with color Display" and "ipod with video". This exclused the classic 80 and classic 160.
The proper cable can be found at this link: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=4D7 9909E&fnode=home/shopipod/ipod_accessories/cablesdocks&nplm=MB129LL/A .
When I went to the ipod store here they tried to sell me that cable you purchased. Luckily, I had already been to the website to look for info about connections. I use the mb129ll/a with my classic 80 and it works perfectly.
The mb129ll/a also works with previous ipods listed at the bottom of the page on the link I place here.
Good luck to you.

How can I get an album from my iPod Classic 80GB onto my refurbished MacBook Air?

Hi there
I have a new to me refurbished MacBook Air and an old iPod Classic 80GB. I've somehow managed to get my music off my iPod onto my laptop apart from one album which doesn't seem to have copied across. Please could anyone tell me how to do this? On my ancient iBook, back in the day, you could just drag music across to copy it but that doesn't work here. I've looked on Help about backing up, but it's a bit cond=fusing as the set up isn't the same the Help section mentions, although I must have managed to back up to have the rest of my music on my laptop at all.
Also, please could someone explain syncing to me? I've looked on Help, but i still don't know what it means.
Sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm not that clued up technically, thought trying to educate myself bit by bit now I have my own laptop.
Thank you in advance.

Ps Just to add a bit more information, I just realised there are loads of albums on my iPod I don't have on iTunes on my laptop. I wonder if the ones that /are/ on my laptop got there are there because there got there via me having the same apple id. I don't know if that's a ridiculous suggestion, but thought I'd better mention it.
