Are these reasons good enough to exchange my iPod Classic 120GB?

Hey all, I had purchased an iPod Classic Sliver 120GB about 3 days ago, and I have had some issues with it but I don't know if it is like this or a dud. So I will list off the problems\issues I have:
1) The battery has had to be recharged about 7 times in 3 days, so the battery life is not 36 hours of audio, is this a bad battery? I have conditioned the battery since I got it or does it just need to build up its capacity?
2) There are atleast 3 dead pixels, is this common?
3) Clickwheel Sensitivity, now I am coming from an iPod Video 5.5Gen and the sensitivity was GREAT, so is this just like a new thing or is it bad?
I love my iPod and its not an iPod Video but it works...
So Please give me some advice as to what I should do with my iPod because I am going to keep it atleast 2-3 years like my video and I don't need a dud for that long so any help is awesome.
Thanks in advance,
Cody

Hello and welcome to discussions;
as the other poster suggested, dead pixels on a new ipod are not acceptable and warrants an exchange. Don't forget, whilst quality, ipods are still mass produced now and errors can happen.
The battery life depends on usage; see related apple help:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html
My ipod lasts for about a week, but I got to admit, I followed the advice of charging the new "classic" with my old ipod AC charger prior to very first use. It works like a dream on USB now (I think, the first charge seems critical!)

Can I do a duplicate search to delete on my ipod classic 120gb only? There are no duplicates on my itunes... I think these duplicates arose when I did a restore, and had to reload from the cloud, and my computer backup.... please help...

I have an ipod classic 120gb...
Somehow I have managed to get mutiple duplicates.....
I had a computer crash... and I restore several songs from the cloud, and from my computer backup from an external drive...
and also, from past purchases on itunes...... some songs I had loaded from my own cd collection....and songs had overlapped......
I knew I had duplicates before the crash and never took care of it.... but now of course there are more...
I have taken care of the duplicates in itunes, by deleting them one by one..... I made the mistake of checking boxes then highlighting and doing a mass delete... thinking it would only delete my check boxes.... and loss a lot of music... so had to restore backups again....
so.......
Ipod......... how do I delete duplicates from the ipod, without loosing music from my ipod... I have lost music that is still there I believe on the Ipod that is not on my itunes... but I am not sure...and I can not find a search duplicates in itunes for Ipod.... can anyone help me on this... is there a way to do it, without going through 8 days of music line by line??
Thank you

Restore the iPod and reload it from the library... Ah, but there might be media on the device that isn't in the library yes?
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device and a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates from iTunes if you end up needing to do a blanket recovery from the iPod. See this thread for background on DeDuper.

Are these Chargers good for an iPod?

Hey everyone. Listen, today I went in town and had some time to buy some stuff.
Now i needed a charger for my iPod Touch 4G. I didn't buy the one from apple with 30 euro, i just got something else, that should do the same job.
But I'm a bit unsure that it's working well.
On the back if I can read:
Input: 100-240VAC
0.3A 50-60HZ
Output: 5VDC---1A
And the one for the car is like:
Input: 12-24Vdc
Output: 5.0Vdc --- 700mA
Now I don't know if this is healthy for the iPod. Is it? o.O
I used the one for the car (and i think the iPod is heating). That doesn't look good...
Is this my imagination? or do these things really hurt the iPod?
One other funny thing that happens. When I used these chargers, for some reason, the Audio disappears. If I open up music and so on, the volume level bar is vanished.... is that normal?
Anyway, the main question is: Are these things safe??? o.O
Thanks

I use a basic Samsung phone charger for my Ipod Touch. It outputs the same 5.0v --- .7 A.
When it overheats, thats just the battery charging.
I've used the same charger on all my ipods for 3 years now.... and they all have continued to work just fine...
You can use them safely.
Other then that, I have absolutley no idea why your audio bar may dissapear. It's most likely a powersaving feature... In otherwords, check your settings.
Hope This Helps

I got a Season Pass for "Chuck", and it says 7 of the episodes are not in a format compatible with my iPod Classic 160GB. Thoughts?

My subject line pretty much says it all. I'm trying to sync season 4, which has 24 episodes. I get this error on 7 of the episodes saying that the video format is not compatible with my iPod Classic.
I have tried restoring my iPod and starting from scratch, but I'm still getting the same error.
I can't imagine Apple is using a different format for different episodes, so there must be a work-around of some kind.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Melissa

Hello Melissa,
Definitely a little odd that some episodes will sync and others will not, especially since they are from the same season. How the videos were encoded may be slightly difference, so much that your iPod no longer friends them compatible.
I would have a look at this article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1497
Since these are videos that were purchased from the iTunes store, you won't be able to convert them in any way, so you may be out of luck.

Are these any good TP-Link TL-WR1043ND

Hi,
Just looking to replace the HH3 as I find my speed slows right down until rebooted. Once I have done this it works great for a few days and then slows right down again. I am only rebooting the HH3 and the modem stays on so makes me think it is the unit. Just wondering what experiences other people have out there and wheather the above box would be any good to replace the HH3 with.
Thanks for any help.

Best DVD to write on and are these any good

i just perchased these does anyone know if they are any good? and also does anyone know the best dvdr's to buy to put my short films on

Apple original used Verbatim as its own DVD blank, and Taiyo Yuden is one of the best companies producing writeable media.
I have Taiyo Yuden CD Rs from back in 1994.
And DVD Rs for about six years.
Give them a try.

3rd party Iphone books. Are these any good?

Everyone knows that Apple is notorious for their lack of written documentation regarding their products. You get a little booklet with little or no information and either a web site or a electronoc file with a to fill in the rest of the documentation. Again the electronic files and the booklet do not get into great detail about the product nuances. I have beeen looking at two Iphone books that seem to be good but I am not sure if there are any better 3rd party books. The two that I looked at are:
Iphone 4 Made Simple
( http://www.amazon.com/iPhone-Made-Simple-Martin-Trautschold/dp/1430231920)
and
Iphone 4 Thr Missing Manual
( http://www.amazon.com/iPhone-Missing-Manual-Covers-Software/dp/1449393659/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1296942194&sr=1-1)
Any opinions?

Never mind. I just realized I totally misread your question... I't is still early for me!
I am hoping that any booklets would be from Apple and not Verizon. It would only make sense since Verizon will do none of the service on them, only Apple. But, we all know what "it would only make sense" usually gets us. Maybe hold of on them until you actually see what you get.

Certain songs are being reordered in my albums on my iPod Classic when I synch to iTunes. They appear correct in iTunes, but out of order on the iPod. I want to be able to put the songs back in album order. Anyone see this?

This bug also seems to affect songs I have played recently. This is for albums, not self-made playlists.

Hi Thunderflare99,
Are the affected albums consisting of more than one artist per album (eg. a compilation)?
If so then go into iTunes with your iPod plugged in, click on the iPod tab, select the songs in that album, right click, click on 'Get info' and then click on the 'Options' tab. Then, tick the box saying 'Part of a compilation'.
Good Luck,
Stefan

Is the MacBook Pro 13 inch good enough?

Is the non retina MacBook Pro 13 core i5 with 4g of ram good enough for nonprofessional video editing making apps surfing the web watching videos ? Or can I get a MacBook Air 13 inch ? is these two good enough for what I want ? And what is the difference between them and the MacBook Pro 13 inch core i7 with 8g of ram ? Is it a big difference between them ? Which one of these three you advice me to go with ?

That will work fine. I would eventually stick 8G of RAM in it though. I have 8G in mine and have run low and started paging out already. Safari and Flash are big RAM hogs.

What exactly are the updates good for on an ipod

I ask because mine is windows format, and im having trouble transferring all the metadata off my ipod with senuti to a back up so that i can reformat the ipod to mac and then sync in my senuti backed up library. I was wondering if anyone knows what exactly are the updates that you get. my ipod is 1.2 5thgen.
If i were to have the latest update would i be able to see album cover art view when the ipod is plugged into itunes? I noticed that i can see that view in library mode but not in ipod mode. (my pod isnt synced)...
so what are these updates good for?

hey thanks for your reply.
I do have it set to manual and i can see the art on the ipod by itself, but even with manual transfer itunes wont let me view the artwork modes unless i am playing off my computers library (which doesn't have the songs on my ipod on it). I called apple earlier today and some tech support guy claimed that itunes does not support this feature. Is this correct? can anyone out there see artwork modes on an unsynced ipod through itunes?

How are these?

I want to get something to protect my new iPod from scratching, etc., but I hate cases where you can't actually see the iPod. Maybe that's a little silly, but I like looking at the iPod itself, and all those cases and "skins" hide the iPod. So, I found these:
http://www.handstands.com/retail/computer/bulletproof.shtml#
But I haven't seen any reviews, comments, etc. on them. Are these any good? Are there any problems with them, at all? Will they damage the iPod, in anyway, in the long run.
Windows XP

unlike reviews the invisible sheild is really that hard to put on. im only 15 and i did it just fine. also, it has a lifetime gauruntee and they replace them immediitely if they ever peel up.
watch the demo its really amazing and quite funny.

Exchanging an iPod touch

I have had my iPod touch 4gen for over two years and it is starting to have problems. My home button no longer works and I have to use the assistive touch, my screen will go white for hours if I try and use an app that takes up a lot of room, and many apps won't work any more such as the app store or mail. Should I exchange mine for another or is there away to fix all of these problems?

Apple will exchange you iPod for a refurbished one of same model and capacity for $199 for the 64 GB one and $99 for the others.
make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Are these specs any good for Premiere CS4?

I have just bought Cs4 and it doesn't run very well on my computer that ran CS3 perfectly!
Is this normal?
So, I looked into upgrading my computer to these specs- can you give helpful suggestions please!
PS I would like to run CS4 and Magic Bullet Looks
MSI Neo P45 motherboard RAID
Intel Core2Duo E8500 3.16 GHz CPU
4 GB DDR2 800 Mhz RAM
2x 1 TB Samsung 32 Mb cache Sata2 Raid stripe.
LG GGW-H20L Blu-Ray writer
Gigabyte GV-N95TOC Geforce 9500GT 1Gb Graphics
Using your existing case, power supply and 32bit Vista. thanks scott!!!

Your specs do look good enough, at least for DV. Working with DV footage should allow you to have smooth video.
But people like me doing HDV work are having a lot of stutter/freeze problems. The Program window is giving this trouble on playback. You may see your Source window as able to play smoothly, but that is raw video and tech support confirms it processes video differently than for the Program window.
CS4 lacks a switch that CS3 had to select whether to use GPU acceleration. According to phone tech support, that is trouble for a lot of people.
Further, CS4 while trying to "automatically" decide if and how to use the GPU (graphics card processor), will not accept OpenGL 3.0. Ironically, the advice to me was to roll back to old drivers, that were 2.0 (or 2.1) compliant, as that would supposedly throw the "invisible switches" correctly inside PPro CS4.
However, rolling back did not help me. I also have RAID 0, but I have a single core 3.8 GHz processor, so my problems are acute, and CS4 is unusable for me.
Even people with Quad cores are having playback stutter problems (I think usually mostly with HDV).
That's incredible!! What was Adobe thinking when they released this software with such a performance slowdown compared to CS3?
