5G Video ipod hook up to tv_No Video

I see this topic has been discussed in the past but I do not see any resolution. Is there one?
I have a composite apple issued cable, tv settings > OUT ... Audio, NO VIDEO
I've tried using the dock set up, same deal.
Is this a firmware issue or something?

Maybe this will shed some more light on this ....
Even with the tv out setting being turned 'on', the video is still displayed on the ipod screen. Is this supposed to happen? If not, something is amiss in the ipod itself, it's as if the settings have no effect either way, tv on or off or ask for that matter. However, audio responds to the changed setting.

  • Video iPod, Color dock, and S-video

    Has anyone used the v-iPod with the Color iPod dock and gotten S-video to work with music videos? It works fine with the Apple AV cable, but I get no video if I go from the S-video jack on the dock to the TV.

    Welcome to discussions. I have not tried it, but please let me know what the quality is like via s-video when you do get it to work. It is it possible that the colour dock is not fully compatible with the 5G. I also assume that you have the TV channel set to s-video.

    Since you're on a Mac...
    For converting DVDs for the iPod, use Handbrake:

    For converting video files you already have on your computer for the iPod, use iSquint:

  • Video iPOD.. playback stops then video starts.. no audio

    I have had the video ipod for @ 1 month .. I put a few movies from a dvd using Videora and DVD Decrypter and they worked great. Then, I believe, after the iPOD software update now the original movies and new movies work for short while then it looks like it pauses.. then the video starts back up and works fine but I have no audio.

    I'll copy and paste instructions on how to roll the iPod back to a previous install WITHOUT having to deleted it all and start over. They were:
    This is step by step what I did (on a Windows system)
    Step 1: Make your ipod a hard disk.
    Open your ipod options in itunes and click the option making your ipod an external drive.
    Step 2: Make sure you activate "Show Hidden Files and Folders" on your computer.
    Step 3: Go into "My Computer" (with your ipod connected) and open up your ipod by clicking on that drive.
    Step 4: Select the "iPod_Control" folder and then select the "Device" subfolder.
    Step 5: There is a file in there called "SysInfo" -- open it.
    Step 6: When I did this, my computer asked me what I wanted to open it with... I chose the generic text reader. When it opened, there were several lines of text, I found where it said "buildID" and then I replaced the number that was there with: 0x05108000 (6.1).
    Step 7: Close this text file. It will ask you if you want to save, and yes, you do.
    Step 8: Now run an older updater, either Updater 2005-11-17.exe or iPod Updater 2005-10-12.exe. You may have this in your ipod folder (probably under "Program Files") or you can load it using the software that came with your ipod. When it loads, make sure you click "UPDATE" instead of "RESTORE"
    That should do the trick. If you still have problems, please state what specifically they are and I'm sure that I, or someone here with more knowledge than me, can help.

  • Video iPod setting preferences, updating of videos

    I have a 5th Gen. Video iPod which works very well but I'm a bit confused about using it with two computers and having downloads from Music Store coming into one or the other one. Plus under the Preferences area, Videos, it is checked 'Do not update videos' but it is greyed out so I can't even select auto update or manual =
    1. is the Videos choices greyed out because they're automatically set because this is a video ipod? it doesn't seem to let me choose whether to update or not
    2. I have a G5 and a 12" Powerbook and this iPod. Sometimes I'm finding things at the Music Store, including videos, on my G5, but I use the video iPod with the Powerbook. I've set up Music, Podcasts and Photos for manual updates. But what about Videos? I don't see a way to set that up and am concerned I'll download videos to the G5 but then not be able to move them to the video iPod, or the 12" PB which is my main video computer.
    Thanks.

    You have a good suggestion ....so, because I set up
    ViPod to get music and podcasts manually that will
    control the video selections? I'll check out your
    explanation...seems logical. Much thanks.
    Right. If you set your iPod to automatically update music, it will automatically update videos. However, as you use two different computers, that may not work for you.

  • My video iPod won't sync my videos , please help

    Does the iPod software version now appear as 1.2?
    If so, I'm thinking there's a problem with the file itself. Since it's from the iTunes Store, there's no reason it can't be played on the iPod.
    First off, if you've created a backup of your iTunes store purchases, restore a new copy of these files from your backup.
    If not, you could try burning them onto a data CD and then ripping a new copy. This may fix the file issue.
    If not, you can always e-mail the iTunes Store support team, and ask if they can let you redownload a new copy of the files. Make sure you give them the e-mail address that you used to purchase the songs with, so that they can access an accurate record of your purchase history.

    Just click on the link that's closest to the issue you're describing. It will take you to a new page. Scroll down to the bottom of this new page, and you'll see a form to fill out and submit to them. They'll usually get back to you within 2-3 business days.

  • My video iPod refuses to sync music videos...

  • Video iPod with Alpine DVD HeadUnit

    Just wondering with the new 5g Video ipod can u get the video to be played out on the alpine dvd headunit. For instance, right now i have the 4g ipod and i can hook it up to my alpine headunit via the ipod adapter so i can view the playists and play music off my ipod. So, can i play a video playlist from my ipod and have it output to my dvd screen in my car? Anyone? Thanks!

    I have the alpine setup, though not with a screen and I'm going to say no, because the iPod control box doesn't seem to have a video output, only the audio one...i've been listening to my fave movies while I'm in traffic though, a pretty cool little trick...

  • 30G video iPod not playing podcast video

    My video iPod won't play podcast video. I get sound, but no video, just a still picture. Video plays fine on my computer. I just recently upgraded iTunes, but I was having the problem before that. Any suggestions?

    My video iPod won't play video files. I get sound, but no video, just a still picture. Video plays fine on my computer. I used to be able to play the same video files before. When I do a "Get info", the files are of MPEG-4 type. Any suggestions?
    By the way, I have played around with the video settings also.

  • ITunes freezes when trying to add songs to 30GB video iPod

    Here's my situation exactly:
    I just bought a 30GB Video iPod with some songs and videos already uploaded onto it. After much reading, I found out how to get the songs from the iPod onto my computer so I could put them into my iTunes library. I added some songs and videos of my own to my iTunes library and tried to update my iPod. The iTunes program says do not disconnect-- updating iPod but my iPod doesn't say anything. The funny thing is that the actual iPod says do not disconnect until I open iTunes and try updating it, then the do not disconnect msg goes away on the iPod. I left my computer on for about 12+ hours straight while iTunes said Do not disconnect.. woke up the next morning and iTunes was frozen-- no new songs on the iPod. What could the issue be exactly? I have slight issues with my usb ports-- for example; sometimes they do not recognize things plugged into them (memory sticks, printers)... BUT it does recognize my iPod-- it shows up in my computer as a removeable disk drive or something, plus as soon as I plug it in the iPod says do not disconnect. I definitely need help though... I'm dying to put some songs of my own on this thing.
    Things I have tried so far:
    Deleting and installing iTunes and everything else again
    Restarting computer and iPod-- of course
    Tried plugging it into diff. usb ports

    I'm assuming the usb hardware problem may be a good possibility because I've always had problems with my usb ports. I can't get a printer to work or those Scandisk things. My assumption is perhaps u can take files from things plugged into the usb ports but you can't add files/etc to things plugged into the usb ports. I will still attempt what you told me to do. I just don't want to lose what I currently have on my iPod and be stuck with a blank iPod because I use it quite often. Maybe a new computer should be my next purchase? Thanks so much!

  • Why use H.264 over straight MPEG 4 for video ipod?

    I'm beginning to rip DVD's to play on my video ipod, as well as exporting
    videos I've created in Final Cut Pro to play on the Ipod.
    In short, can anyone provide a sort explanation as to why you'd pick
    H.264 rather than straight mpeg 4 as the output format, if the only goal
    is to play on the Video Ipod?
    Is there an advantage of one over the other in either quality, creation time or file size?
    Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Video iPod freezes, no longer syncs

    I've had a 5th gen. video iPod since January 2005. Been working perfectly until recently: I was going to skip a song and the screen froze up on me. So I held down the Menu and Center buttons (like I normally do to reset), but this time when the iPod booted back up, I got a white screen saying I needed to connect to iTunes to restore.
    So I got home, connected to iTunes and hit the "restore" button to return original factory settings. Then I copied all my iTunes songs back onto the iPod. The next day I was playing songs on Shuffle, and when I would try to skip to the next song, the iPod would work really slowly. So I did a reset again and when the iPod booted up again--everything had been erased.
    So I restored the iPod again, but had problems when trying to copy my iTunes library. I got an error message saying that I was missing a necessary file (it didn't specify which one) and could not sync.
    Now when I even try to restore again, I get an error message saying I can't restore due to an unknown error (1418).
    Can anyone help me?

    Hm. Well, since your iPod is already blank, try hooking it up to another computer and replace it with that library. If it works fine there, then your iPod's fine, and the problem is the iTunes and iPod software on your computer. Try uninstalling (to go control panel - add/delete programs to make sure it's gone) and then installing the newest updates. Then connect your iPod, restore, and sync. Try that first?

  • 5G Video iPOD stopped charging via USB: can someone help?

    I bought 5G video iPOD last month. After about a month of charging via USB 2.0 port on WinXP desktop, iPOD no longer charges with USB port. If I connect it to desktop, it syncs songs and shows its charging but in fact it does not charge. As it can't sleep, its loosing power. If I hook it up in the night, its discharged in the morning.
    I tried to charge it in the car (with car charger), iPOD charges fine. I have tried to change ports, tried different computer (laptop) and also sent iPOD for service, NOTHING HELPS!
    I sent it for repair to Apple, but i got it back in 1 week saying its is perfect condition and no other details. (Very disappointed with Apple's lack of service)
    Right now, I am stuck with iPOD not charging with any USB port. How do I solve this? Can the usb ports suddenly become low powered from high powered? Please advice.
