5.5 Gen Video Ipod rebooting when trying to play certain PodCasts.

Hi,
After enjoying an Ipod Nano for a year and loving every minute, I went ahead and purchased the new 80GB Video iPod.
Its great but it has a tendency to reboot for no apparent reason when playing certain PodCasts. For example: Its impossible to play the Buzzcast episode: BuzzCast 09/27/06 - "Microsoft protects your ****". The Ipod shuts off and reboots every time. I'm using Itunes 7.0.1 and the Ipod is running the latest available firmware.
Can anyone else who also owns the new 80GB iPod download this particular episode and confirm?
By the way, I've also noticed that even though the iPod is connected / docked with iTunes and clearly visible in the panel to the left, The message "Waiting for iPod" is displayed when trying to re-sync a while later. The only way to get iTunes to make contact with the iPod again is to physically disconnect the cable and reconnect, (even though the iPod icon was still clearly visible to the left thus indicating already established contact with the iPod) Weird!
Anyone else having this experience?
Input appreciated.
Kind regards / Alex

WHAT was apple thinking when they released iTunes 7.0 and firmware 1.2!? I installed in on my 60gb Video and the whole thing went to pot.
1. It sounded horrible
2. It would only allow me to download about 25% of my movies to the iPod (I have a large library and I take movies on and off depending on what I feel like for the trip I am taking.)
AppleCare Support was USELESS. Here is what I finally figured out to get the pod working right again:
1. Uninstalled iTunes 7 from my computer (PC).
2. Went into the registry editor and deleted all remaining references to iTunes.
3. Restored the firmware to the version that came with the iPod last January.
4. Used the 2006.06.28 firmware updater
5. Installed iTunes 6.0.5
It works like a charm, just like it did before Apple "made things better."
AppleCare told me that they could not support songs ripped from my CD's, or any video that had not been purchased from iTunes. I am certain that the reason for this had nothing to do with their wanting a monopoly on music and video that will work on an iPod. Then he offered to report the problem I was having to their development team.
I asked him if other people were having problems with iTunes 7. He said the question was not relevant to my problems! I pressed him more for an answer and he continued to parrot what Apple has obviously told him to say. "My new 80gb Video is working fine. I have not had the problems you are having."
DON'T UPGRADE TO ITUNES 7!!!!
I have ordered an 80gb since he said they work so flawlessly. Reading in this discussion, it appears that plenty of new 80gb users are frustrated too.

  • IPod restarts when trying to play certain songs

    My ipod has been acting crazy on and off now for a long time. Usually if I let it die and sit a day before recharging it it works again, but now I am having a new problem. When I play some songs my ipod just restarts itself, and I mean restarts. The Apple logo comes up and it starts over like I had never had it on. I still have all my music and all, but it like coming out of hibernation.
    I guess best put, my ipod restarts after certain songs.

    I am getting the same error, and have been, since the last iTunes update.     Driving me crazy, as some podcasts download without issue, others won't download at all, and get the 3250 error code.

  • Video iPOD reboots when starting Video

    I have just purchased my Second 5th Gen iPOD. Some of the Videos that worked on the 1st iPOD make the new one Re-Boot when attempting to display a video.
    MPEG4, 480x480, 1500kb/sec data rate, stereo, 48 kHz

    The only thing I've found in common with all 3 of
    those files is that they are all MONO and not stereo.
    The Nov 16th version was stereo and did not cause me
    any reboot issues. If I convert these problem files
    to WAV and back to a stereo MP3, I have no reboot
    problems
    Why not simply convert them to stereo MP3? You don't
    need to first convert them to WAV.
    Well, if I use the MP3 conversion in itunes, the file still reboots my iPod. So I have to use another program to convert it to a WAV and then back to MP3 - there are probably other programs out there that can do this in one step, but the one I already had requires the extra step. Besdies, I shouldn't have to do this at all. It should just work, shouldn't it?
    Aside from that, disabling functionality on my
    iPod is not an acceptable solution.
    You are right. It's obvious that turning off the EQ
    is simply a workaround until it gets fixed.
    Oh, wait, it's fixed.
    Update your iPod with the newest firmware (1.2.1)
    Well, please note that when I started this thread, I was indeed up to date on both the latest version of iTunes and the latest version of the available firmware.
    I just tried this update (1.2.1) and it seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks, apple!

  • 30 Gig Video iPod reboots when playing certain podcasts

    Hi everyone,
    I listen to an audio podcast called Diggnation. I usually put it on my iPod so I can listen to it in the car on my way to/from work.
    I have posted about this over at the Revision 3 forums. Here is the thread for anyone who may be interested:
    http://www.revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2149
    To sum up: I have tried turning off the EQ (as suggested in the Apple Knowledge base article here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304490) and it does NOT make a difference. My iPod still reboots. Aside from that, disabling functionality on my iPod is not an acceptable solution. Especially when this problem doesn't exist on older iPods (I had a friend with an older one test this for me.) My iPod ought to be able to play a simple MONO MP3 file.
    If anyone else wants to try this, I had the problem with the November 9th, November 23rd, and November 30th episodes of Diggnation that I downloaded through iTunes. The only thing I've found in common with all 3 of those files is that they are all MONO and not stereo. The Nov 16th version was stereo and did not cause me any reboot issues. If I convert these problem files to WAV and back to a stereo MP3, I have no reboot problems.
    I have tried resetting my iPod. I have tried removing the podcast from my iPod and copying a new download of it back on to the iPod - no difference.
    Any suggestions? Or does anyone at Apple know what's going on here?
    Thanks.

  • Video Player crashing when trying to play videos

    I have some videos downloaded to my iPad. Some of them play fine. However a lot of them will not play - when I try to play them the app crashes. I have tried restarting my iPad, deleting the videos and re-downloading them, and closing everything to make sure nothing is going on in the background, but this doesn't work. My only other idea was to return it to factory settings, but I wondered if anyone had any other ideas so that this would not be necessary.

  • IPod restarts when trying to play a specific podcast

    Just recently, when I try to play the ESPN Fantasy Focus podcast my iPod will reset. I have seen other posts on here talking about a problem with a specific version of the iPod software but they all seem to refer to version 1.2 and I have 1.3 installed.

    My ipod is doing the same thing.  It's an older iPod Video, 30gb and it's updated to version 1.3.  Just recently started happening where any podcast I play resets my ipod.  I've restored, hard reset, and done all the other various work arounds that i've found online, and nothing is helping.

  • IPod restarts when trying to play Vortex

    I recently bought the game Vortex for my 5G iPod. I installed iTunes 7 and updated the firmware 1.2. I played the games about 5 times. Now when I go to play the game it starts up then about 5 seconds later it either freezes completely or restarts the iPod. Any suggestions. I'm hoping not to restore because I need my muusic at work and don't feel like putting all the songs back on it.

  • ITunes giving error when trying to play mp3 podcast file I created

    I'm testing a new podcast feed at the moment and I am unsure of the issue.
    The MP3 was created in Adobe Audition 3.0
    If I drag the mp3 directly into iTunes it plays it no problem.
    If I put the Podcast URL directly into a browser all of the info displays and I can download the file.
    But if I subscribe to the feed in iTunes, it does display all of the information etc and does list the podcast in the podcast section, but I get the error, "The File might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play" yet it does play it if I drag the file into iTunes directly.
    Any advise please?

    Hi Michelle,
    i don't see which disk is used to create the fileshare. There isn't such a configuration.
    This is how the config looks like for the Cluster where it is not working:
    And this is the cluster where everything is working:
    The fileshare resource is usually created by the SQL Server Configuration Manager. This also happens in my case, but the problem is that it is immediately removed again without further specification of what the problem is.
    The SQL Server log is also not very helpful. The attempt is not registered in the server log. Just the retry is logged saying that the configuration might be inconsistent:
    2015-03-13 10:02:50.51 spid53      Error: 5596, Severity: 16, State: 2.
    2015-03-13 10:02:50.51 spid53      FILESTREAM feature configuration might be inconsistent.  To reset the configuration, use the sp_configure stored procedure.

  • ITunes crashes when trying to play certain songs

    Every time I try to navigate to a certain artist iTunes crashes and gives me a panic report. It doesn't happen with all the media in my library, only this one particular artist. I am happy to include any information that is useful to you guys from the report, just let me know what part you need.
    This has happened before and as far as I remember I never figured out what was causing it. Either I deleted the media from my iMac or it stopped crashing.. I can't remember.
    Anyway, any help is appreciated.
    My system:
    10.8.4
    iMac 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB Ram

    I see .
    Does the site is legal ?
    I do not suggest to download songs from sites which are not valid ,
    These sites have viruses etc.

  • Ipod nano 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video

    Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.

    Does this happen with any song or video you play?  If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.
