30 g ipod video has malfuntioned

k i really need some help because i love my ipod but it has malfuntioned i cant do ANYTHING it says its on hold but it isnt and when i hook it up to my computer it says "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfuntioned and windows will not recognize it" PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!
ANYTHING

don't look at it like that. With more than 20 milion iPods sold, people are bound to come across either glitches in their machine, glitches in the iPod, or inexperiance. This being said, if only 20 people a day come here, that's less than 1 percent of every iPod sold in a year! Who else has a 99% rate of success?! not Microsoft.

  • Ipod Video has problems with umlaut in calendar

    Can anybody here confirm that the ipod video has problems displaying umlauts (i.e ä) in the calendar, if the umlaut is the last characters of the summary. If the umlaut is in the middle of a word, it is displayed correctly.
    The summary of the ics file is encoded as Quoted-Printable.
    Here is a sample line:
    SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Polterabend=20wal=E4
    Saddly, I didn't find a contact form or email-address of apple... So, does anybody know, how to inform apple about the problem?

    Go to Help-->About iTunes on your computer. Make sure
    it is iTunes 7.0.2
    If it is, you may want to restore your iPod and then
    put all the content on it again. Something may have
    become corrupt...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    All content on the iPod will be deleted, although the
    content on your computer in iTunes should not be.

  • Help! My Ipod Video Headphone Jack isn't working!

    Hey guys. My Ipod video has starting messing up in the jack so that it doesn't play right in the right ear regardless of what headphones I use. Is this a common problem and any idea how to fix it or how much it costs to fix it and where I go?

    The best place to go is an Apple store ,if it is under warranty will no fees.
    If do not have an Apple store close to you, go to an authorized dealer.
    I think its a minor issue may be the jack connector
    good luck

  • 60GB iPod video battery issue?

    My 60GB iPod video has an issue where as soon as I remove it from its charger (plugged into an outlet), it says it does not have enough power to keep running and it shuts down. It gives off a very faint smell like something was burning from the inside, but I wouldn't have noticed it if it I hadn't lifted it up and looked at it very closely. I've been charging it for about four days now, and occasionally I would pull it out to see if it was still having the same issue. Sure enough it was, and strangely, when I plugged it back in, all of the settings would be reset (namely the time would refer back to 12:00AM). All of my files are still there, but when I plugged it into the computer, it would give the little loading circle and say "Please wait. Very low batter." The computer reads the device but not even as a hard drive (which I set it too).
    Maybe the battery needs to be replaced? How do I know I can salvage my iPod?
    *Note: I haven't had the iPod for a while. It was a gift from a friend and it seems like it was pretty used to begin with. I'd give it about two to three years since it was bought. The warranty is WAY over by the way

    Yeah, an iPod is basically a small computer, with a locked down OS. If you want, my company www.dr-pod.com can replace this for you quite cheaply.
    Thanks

  • The New iPod Video !!!

    I saw the specs for the new iPod Video
    but they mentioned the 80g but not the 30g.
    Is there any upgraded specs for the new 30g iPod
    rather than the cheaper prize?
    I love everything about the new 80g including the increased playtime of songs and videos but the
    only thing that i don't like about tis the thickness..
    So I hope that the new 30g iPod video has the
    increased playtime to....
    Does anyone know about the new specs for the
    new 30g iPod Video??

    I finished the test and I get five hours of video playback with the backlight completely dimmed, but its not an ideal setting to be watching movies. So I have the backlight 1/4 as bright. So I should get like 3.5 hours video playback. I called Apple and apparently the new 30GB iPod does have a longer battery life and 60% brighter screen. Would it be worth getting if you are able to return your iPod? I would say "No" especially if you have it open. The restocking fee is 10% of how much you paid for. I paid $288 for my iPod so I would have to pay $28.80 for the restocking fee. So if I did refund it and bought the new 30GB iPod for $249.00 plus the $19.85 tax and also add the restocking fee of $28.80 I would have paid $297.65 compared to the iPod I orignally bought for $288. I'm still going to go to the Apple Store tomorrow and see if I could return it through the Apple Store and see if the restocking fee might get waived, but I doubt it. Its still worth a try since I pass by it coming home from school.

  • Classic's Scroll wheel works differently from iPod Video?

    My new Classic fits just about perfectly in the case I've been using with my 80 gig iPod video...except for something weird. The Classic can't seem to sense my finger rotating around the scroll wheel through whatever kind of plastic InCase uses to protect the scroll wheel. Button pushes work just fine, and the scroll wheel on the iPod Video has always worked just fine in the InCase case. What's changed about the scroll sensing on the Classic?

    I didn't own a 5g iPod but: When you touch 2 spots on the classic's wheel at the same time, the wheel won't work. Just try it yourself: Put a finger on some spot on the wheel and then scroll anywhere else on the wheel - nothing happens (except for when both spots are real close together. then the wheel thinks you just have kind of a big thumb or something :D)
    So maybe this is different from the 5g wheel? I mean this is exactly what happens with a plastic case, isn't it? If you push down the plastic, it touches the wheel not only on the spot where you push it down, but slightly touches it on one or several other spots.
    Maybe that's not the solution, but maybe it is ^^

  • Please HELP, "iTunes has stopped working" error after connecting iPod video

    People please help me out!  I have a Razer Blade gaming laptop with Windows 8 64bit.
    I have an iPhone 5, iPad 2 and an iPod video (80GB).  I had some weeks from not connecting the iPod to my computer, but this morning that I did so I can upload some new music to it, iTunes just crash, I get the "iTunes has stopped working" error message when I connect the iPod video.  I do not have this problem with either the iPhone 5 or the iPad 2, when I connect these, iTunes works fine, once I connect the iPod, then all goes down
    Procedures that I already tried and that were unsuccessful to solve the problem:
    Uninstall Quicktime
    Uninstall iTunes and reinstall
    Reset the iPod (several times)
    Delete TEMP files on computer
    Restart the computer (several times)
    Use a different cable and a different USB port
    The iPod is working fine, if I plug it to my car stereo or if I use it with headphones it works great, no problems nor errors.  My computer also identify the iPod as a hard disk, no error messages from Windows, it is just the freakin' iTunes that freezes everytime that I plug the iPod
    PLEASE HELP ME OUT, I've searched forums on this particular issue but with no luck.
    Thanks very much!

    It is only when I attempt to add a song to my iPod once plugged in that I receive the error "Itunes has stopped working" and forces me to exit the program, without the song being successfully transferred.
    Do you have the "Convert to 128 kbps AAC" preference enabled for syncing to the iPod, laur?
    If so, it's quite plausible that you've got the iTunes 10.1.0.54 bug and we need to get you updated to 10.0.1.56 as per the following document:

  • Ipod Video 80gb with click wheel has sound, but no audio

    My ipod video 80gb with click wheel has sound, but no audio.  I can hear the clicking of the wheel and selections made through the headphones, but I cannot get music, video, etc. to play audio.  I did the 5 R's and installed a new headphone jack prior to posting here.  I am all out of ideas and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you connect it to an iPod Dock Stereo to check if there is music, coming out, if not the Hard Reset would solve your problem or else the Audio chip has called it a day.
    I know you mentioned doing the 5Rs, but did you see the Apple Logo and the language prompt? Sorry, most of the users here, doesn't do the Hard Reset correctly.
    Try the iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then release the button
    Select your preferred language.
    This wont delete or erase any song/data on your iPod Classic.
    See this Apple Support Article on 5Rs

  • IPOD Video is fine but sound has "hiss"

    I loaded a concert DVD into Itunes and my IPOD. All tracks were good except for the main concert, which had a loud "hissing" noise.. I am using Cucusoft IPOD Video Converter software....Any thoughts or fixes would be helpful.
    Windows   Windows XP  

    Concert quality is excellent of the DVD... the other tracks from the DVD that were transferewd to my IPOD sounded good. It was only the main concert that had the hissing noise... I was thinking it was some type of anti-copying filter but as I indicated, the other parts of the DVD concert come in fine.

  • Ipod nano 4gb and ipod video 80g with windows vista

    hello! i've been trying (rather unsuccessfully) to sync the ipod nano to my laptop which has windows vista OS. i have the latest itunes 7.2 (just updated today from 7.1) and i always get the "found new hardware" pop-up everytime i plug the ipod nano via usb port. i also did the 5r's, but still the computer cannot and will not detect any software. i even downloaded the softwareupdater28-06-2006.exe but it will not run because it's superseded by itunes 7. my friend has an ipod video 80gb and i tried connecting it too, same thing popped up. both ipods do not show in "my computer" so i cannot even backup my songs! ah well. i just need to get the driver for the ipod i suppose. please help, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    i have been having the same problem. My laptop was upgrade to windows vista and worked perfectly fine with my ipod and with others which had previously been used with the computer when it was running XP. My IPOD unfortunately crashed and need to be replaced. I brought it back to the laptop and connected it. it was not recognised but the others still are!
    I have been looking on the internet and you are the only other i can find who is suffering this problem. i have looked in device manager and the new ipod is recognised as a 'other device', whereas the ipod that still works is classed as a 'portable device'. i have looked at the drivers and tried to install them by copying the drivers on the original ipod, but have not succeded. Since updating itunes to 7.2 i have been getting a 'do not disconnect' message on the ipod but it still does not appear in the sources list in itunes.
    I have tried everything and am about to give up please HELP!
    Someone somewhere must know a way around this........ as the London apple store "has never heard of this problem"

  • I would like to know how to fix an ipod video gen 1 that is displaying a skull everytime I try to turn it on

    I have a problem with my ipod video gen 3(classic) I try over and over again to turn it on, try charging it and it does nothing. It just display a skull. What can it be?

    It certainly looks like an iPod Classic, and frankly, I didn't know they could be modified. Well, strictly speaking, it can because it does have an operating system - software that makes it work.
    Anyway, while you wait to see if anyone more knowledgeable has an opinion about the skull, have you tried restoring the iPod. That's done by connecting it to your iTunes and using the Restore button that's on the Device/Summary pane. Have a search through the iPod Classic forum for Restore for more information.
    By the way, all the links that I looked at concerning the skull (on the top right of this thread) are for the iPod Touch. But, as I said...
