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.

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?

  • 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.)

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • I've got a 7 year old 30gb video ipod and the headphone port no longer works! Please help :)

    I've got a 7 year old 30gb video ipod and the headphone port no longer works.
    I went to the Apple shop and they said it is now vintage and they can't fix my baby they offered me 10% to trade her in for a new model...
    what else can I try to save her?  I've tried cleaning and wiggling and restoring. Everything looks and feels ok.

    I've just found 'iPod Dock Connector Headphone Jack' on ebay it as an adapter that will connect my earphones via the wide ipod port better than 10% of something new

  • "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!

  • 30gig 5th generation video ipod and windows vista

    i've been reading alot of posts putting vista down in reguards to the video ipod . i just wanted to say that i have window's vista home premium and my first video ipod
    30gig and i've not had a single problem related to vista.
    any problems have been to me never having owned an ipod .
    just thought i'd set the record straight for those who are thinking of getting a video ipod and already have vista .
    you know , just fyi .
    but i am wondering , how well does the ipod record notes ?
    and anyone here in a band and tape their rehearsals ? was wondering how it sounds . thanks all !

    after I watched them they dissappeared from my ipod,
    Sounds like you have selected to only sync unwatched video content to your iPod.
    This is a setting that you can change in your iTunes preferences.

  • New Ipod and new computer-how to transfer

    I just got the new ipod video and had the 20gb. I now have a new computer and new ipod. How do I transfer my songs to my new ipod and computer?
    any help would be appreciated.
    D

    If you transfer your library from the PC to the Mac, and then plug in your new ipod to the new Mac, a question will pop up asking you whether you want this computer's library to be transferred to the iPod. Click Yes, and it will start synching with whatever is in the library.
    You can also use some programs, like "Senuti" (for mac, freeware) to rip off the contents FROM your iPod TO your new Mac. I personally like Senuti since it has an iTunes-like interface except in reverse.

  • Video iPod and 3rd Generation Docks

    I have a 3rd Gen iPod and am considering a video ipod. Will my 3rd Gen. Docks work with it?
    Thanks

    Assuming all your songs are in iTunes, when you plug in your new iPod for the first time, it will transfer everything. There isn't a way to transfer directly from iPod to iPod, but it's not necessary anyway.
    I believe all the accessories from the 3G iPod on which use the 30-pin plug are compatible with the 4G and 5G iPods and the nano. As stated above, the only hitch may be dock-style accessories where the newer, thinner iPods may not seat properly to make a connection.
