60GB ipod video problems

Hi All,
I just boughts my 60gb ipod this weekend. yay! I seem to have the 60gb ipod 1.1 update video hanging/freezing, then comes back with no audio after several seconds problem that everyone is posting all over the web about. It is happening on most any large video file I put on it.
The fix seems to be to backdate the ipod software version to 1.0, but I can't find it on my software CD. Does anyone know where to get it from, or another solution?

I have not confirmed if that download link works (from that message). If it does, you can follow the rest of those instructions or simply restore the iPod using that updater...
Restore the iPod
And then reload all the songs.

Help - I have two faulty 60GB iPod Videos

Hopefully someone here can offer some guidance. I have two 60GB iPod Videos (mine and the wife's) which are both two or three years old. Both of them are playing up. Mine freezes and crashes constantly. It starts with random blocks and dots, artifacts and graphical gliches appearing on screen as I navigate (everytime the week clicks the "pattern" changes) and then it will freeze and crash. I then have to do a reboot and then when it comes back on it is okay for a while, it may even play a whole album. Then I start it out of hibernation the next day and it happens again. Apart from that it is okay and it charges, connects to iTunes, etc. I am okay with opening it up to check it out. Anyone know what I have to replace to repair it?
My wife's iPod is something else. It had been missing for a month or so and then we found it at the back of a drawer. It was dead so I charged it, however, once it got passed the "the battery is extremely low" message and booted up proper it then froze my PC and stopped charging. My PC screen froze and only started working again when I disconnected it. I tried charging it on my laptop and the same thing happened - it froze the screen on the laptop. Finally I tried charging it through a wall plug adaptor and again it would not charge it past the low battery message. It works, but literally only for a few songs before the small charge on the battery runs out. Again, anyone know what is required to repair this problem?
I was thinking of either buying a faulty ipod off ebay and try to salvage parts to repair one or both of the above, or just using one to repair the other.
Any ideas?

Have you tried restoring them to factory settings through itunes? Sounds like from your psot that you've reset them, but not restored them.
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.

JBL Sound Stage (I) and 60GB iPod Video

Bought the original JBL Sound Stage to use with my iPod 3G. Now have a 60GB iPod Video. Can't seem to order an adaptor for this new iPod from JBL (their website order form replies, "You don't need an additional adaptor, use one provided in the box.")
My new iPod is .55 thick. I do have several other adaptors for the JBL - - I believe one of the adaptors is for the 20GB 'color' iPod and the 20 GB 4G iPod, both .57 thick (just a bit thicker.) Would this adaptor be OK to use?
Thanks for any advice.

Will answer my own question, here (is that the ultimate in hubris, or what?!) - - got in touch with JBL, and they do recommend using the 20GB / 40GB 'color' adaptor for the new iPod 60GB 'video.'
If you have a 30GB video iPod, however, contact JBL and they will send you an adaptor / instructions for same. . . .

Is 60gb iPod Video compatible with the Klipsch iFi Speaker system?

I just got a new 60gb iPod Video and I have the Klipsch iFi system on backorder.
Now I am a bit cconcerned that it may not be compatible.
Anyone out there have this combination?
How is the system working out?

I sent an e-mail yesterday through the Klipsch Support link asking that same question.On their website it did mention that it didn't fit the smaller iPods...Nano, etc. but did support the older 'larger' iPods...20G, 40G and so on. I'm thinking it's like the universal dock situation, we may need an adapter or just be careful when we attach it, as it won't be fully supported within the cradle, but still connect..I'll keep you posted.....gary

30GB 5G iPod Video Problems.

Hey, all.
I just got a new fifth generation 30GB iPod Video and am having trouble getting the video on it.
I've got all my songs on it, but iTunes won't seem to let me add videos into the library. I followed the instructions in the manual at apple.com, but i've had no luck.
iTunes doesn't give an error when I try to import a video file, it simply doesn't import it. No messages or anything.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I need to do to get videos on my iPod? Thanks.

Well first...
Pacience is all you need
Believe me...
I had MANY MANY MANY ipod problems
and it seems everytime I take time
to solve them...
it seems to always get back to normal
I'm not an Apple worker or anything
BUT you're lucky that Apple community has an enormous
way to help you
You won't find that anywhere else, specially in a
Creative Zen
okay then...
maybe you'd want to use Utility Disc if you have access to an iMac
if not try to use the Diagnostic Mode
built into the iPod Video
- first reset your iPod (menu and center hold)
- once you see the Apple logo, hold in menu and previous/rewind button together until you hear a beep and
a white screen that looks like an old computer will display
- you are now in diagnostic mode
- don't use auto test if it asks you
- select IO
- then, select HardDrive
- then, select the HDSpecs
- once you're done with the HDspecs
select the HDSMARTData
if problem persists rest your iPod for half a day
then try the 5 R's
if problem still persists
try calling Apple Support
basic help is for free for at least
1 year you bought your iPod

60GB iPod Video menu disappeared after update

I just received my 60GB iPod yesterday. I downloaded the new software update from Apple and updated it. After I did that the Video option on my menu disappeared. I still have the video in itunes but it is not on my ipod anymore.
HELP! New user and this was a main purchase reason. Thanks for any assistance.

I have new ipod video and had issues so I used the updater that was included, dated 6/05, I now have a ipod video with software version 1.2 and it thinks it is an older ipod photo only. Now that it is installed in the ipod the updater assumes it is an older ipod and restore doesn't work (except to restore it to version 1.2) I am so frustrated I could scream. Apparently the new updater 10-05 is ok, as it would have restored to the correct software but now, it's too late! any ideas? What I need is a restore function that puts back in the version 1.0 software for the ipod video, but there is no such thing.

IPOD VIDEO PROBLEMS

I have a 30gb ipod video. When I plug it in my computer it plays. When I use my earphones or my brand new monster fm transmitter it doesn't play at all. What can be the problem and how can I fix it?

Headphone jack is broken, volume is turned all the way down on the iPod, the Classic has a Mute feature maybe, ????

Need help with ipod video, problems with blinking screen, wont charge

Hello,
I'm a new owner of an ipod video, and I've had it for not even two weeks and haven't used it but 3 or 4 times, and I went to turn it on and nothing happened, so I figured the battery died. Then I hooked it up to the usb and computer (windows xp OS) and nothing except a fast blinking white screen and a low noise, not music though. It wont charge, and I even reinstalled everything and used all the tips online- any words of advice except to take it to an apple store?

Apple decided to hide the user library folder with OS10.7. You can get to it by using the menu.
Quit Illustrator.
Method one....
In the Finder choose Go > Go To Folder and type "~/Library" (no quotes) and hit OK.
Your Library folder will open.
Then navigate to ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings
Move that Settings folder to your desktop.
Restart Illustrator and try exporting again.
If it works as expected, you can trash teh Settings folder on your desktop.
Since you're removing preferences, items like Scratch Disk settings will need to be reconfigured in Illustrator if you've altered them from the default settings.
Second method.....
Hold Command-Option-Shift when you launch Illustrator.
Preferences will be removed.
You won't get any sort of dialog or window confirming this, it just happens.
Reason for two methods.
Method one allows you to put the settings folder back if yoru problem is not cured by removing it. It also allows you to move items back to the new Settings folder that is created (like Workspaces).

60GB iPod Video locks up

Anyone else having this problem?... it has happened to me on at least 4 different occasions since purchasing my new iPod a couple of weeks ago.
There are times when I go to start up my iPod... and none of the buttons work at all.. yes... it's UNLOCKED... but none of the buttons work... forcing me to reboot the iPod. On other occasions, I hit play... and it shows the play triangle icon in the upper left corner, but no music plays nor does the time advance. On top of this... I can still navigate all of the menus without nary a hiccup. The only other element not working when this happens is the 'chirping' sound that typically is made while scrolling through menus and such.
Anyone else having this problem?

I tried all of these options as well. I had a black 60GB iPod up until about an hour ago. I returned it to BestBuy for a full refund. I am waiting for a new shipment to come in to buy again.. definately got a defective one. If it still locks up after you fix it you've got major problem...go back to the retailer or Apple before time runs out.

IPod video problems with audio

I recently got a 30 GB iPod video. I have tried to add videos to it, but sort of unsuccesfully. Of the four videos on there, 3 don't have audio.
The only video that has video and audio is a .mov, and yet the other .mov files that I tried to put on, wouldn't even convert.
The other files are .mpg, and they converted and transfered on perfectly, except there is no audio. The video looks great, but you can't hear anything.
Has anyone else had these problems? Any advice/help is appreciated!

My 60gb ipod (video) dispalys a "plug in" icon.

After my 60GB ipod locked up, I decided to do a total erase and reset. Now it displays the "plug me in" icon. When I plug it in -- using a current iphone charger, or charge it in my Sony alarm clock dock, or try charging it in the car, I still get the same "plug me in" icon -- even after days of trying to charge it.
Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Considering the age of the device and its battery, it's like that its battery is completely shot and in need of a replacement.

60GB iPod Video Having Issues

Im not sure if this is the right board for iPod Video but if it is not, please excuse my mistake.
But anyway I tried using my iPod Video this morning and when i turned it on it showed a big black checkmark and the phrase "OK to Disconnect" under it. Which is weird because I haven't connected it to the computer in a few weeks. Also where the checkmark is there is this little black line going through it, kinda looks like the static you would see on a TV but just a tiny line of it.
Sorry if this is confusing, if you need me to elaborate more I will try to describe it better. But does anyone know how I can get this off my iPod Video so I can access my music again?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

So it now works, except for this line across the screen?
You may want to try using the Restore button in iTunes to erase the iPod and initialize its software. Then you can set it up and re-sync it as desired. If the line is still there after that, it is probably a hardware fault.

IPod Video problem with songs not playing

I received a 30GB iPod video for christmas today and accidently made a mistake while configuring it. Since I had an old iPod I figured that i wouldn't have to insert the enclosed CD and therefore I connected my iPod to my computer. The iPod icon never came up on my desktop so, left with no other choice i had to unplug it with the dreaded "do not disconnect" on the screen. Now, I can put songs on the iPod but it won't play them. The time bar at the bottom of the iPod screen simply sits at :00 as long as i leave the iPod on. HELP!!

Convert Selection For iPod--Video Problems

I've got video in iTunes, that's not the problem. I've checked, iTunes and QuickTime are both up-to-date. When I try and sync the videos to my 80gig iPod, it tells me that they can not be synced because they are not the right format. They're all .mp4 format and Apple lists that as compatible for an iPod. When I right click on the video and click on 'Convert Selection for iPod', it converts it, but I only get the audio with a blank white screen and no video. I've followed the Apple tutorial and they're video clip works when I convert it. I went to the DivX website and downloaded the newest version of it and installed everything but the DivX player. It still won't work. What should I do?

I think I was able to resolve this myself after some trial and error. It looks like it is all in the name of the file. I've gotten some files to transfer after going into the Get Info section and updating the name (usually shorten the name or take out non-letter/number/# characters and then get the filename on disk to match.
