Bug in 60GB

I bought a new video 60 GB ipod a couple of weeks ago but I just read in a post back from February that there is a bug in that particular model. Would this be true for my ipod that i just bought a couple of weeks ago? If so, what do I do?

but I just read in a post back from February that there is a bug in that particular model.
Yes, I recall what you're talking about, but I cannot remember the source.
This was all fixed in March 23rd's Firmware Update.
So far, I'm not finding any bugs at all in the iPod that wasn't user or computer-induced. If there ever was, you could totally come here for information and get the solution, or even get it repaired if it's beyond our knowledge.
Hope this answered your question

  • Video vertical moving? help.

    Hello, I have a 60gb ipod. Since I got it last month, I have had a problem with the video screen "vertical" moving. I call it vertical because it seems very much like the vertical control on a old TV.
    Example. The top line of the menu with "ipod" and the "green battery" will move to the bottom line of the sceen while in use or move to the middle. It does not roll quickly but moves randomly. Music it does not matter but not much fun for video watching.
    Anyone else have this problem? or know how to fix it?
    I love the ipod but seems to have a lot of little bugs.

  • Long videos freezing then startin again with no sound on my 60 gig

    whenever i play a long music video or a movie, the ipod just freezes, and then starts up again, but with no sound. the only way i know how to fix it is to press menue and then the select button to start it again, but its a big pain for movie to freeze every 30 seconds or so. anyone with the same problem or with suggestions?

    You need to restore your iPod back to firmware 1.0; firmware 1.1 has a bug with 60GB iPods where the sound freezes after 30 seconds; You need to uninstall iPod updater 2006-01-10 and install the old 2005-10-12 iPod updater; This updater came with the disk that came with your iPod; or if you don't have it, you can download it from here iPod Updater 2005-10-12
    after you have installed the updater; plug in your iPod and once it shows up; restore it; this has been the only solution to fixing the video problem. Hope this works

  • Losing and gaining sound on movies uploaded onto iPod

    Can someone help me? I have transferred the DVD files into iPod compatible files and uploaded the film into iTunes which plays fine. However when I transfer it over to iPod I keep losing the audio every time it moves to a different chapter and keep having to press menu and play again to get the sound back – does anyone know how to fix this or do I have a broken iPod?

    Hey!
    Have you updated your Pod from 1.1 to 1.1.1 using the updater download?If you haven't this is most probably the reason.There are plenty of posts regarding the legendary 1.1 bug on 60GB video and Vid playback with audio loss.1.1.1 is supposed to have addressed this!!Do a search of the threads and see if anything matches your problem.
    good luck,

  • WARNING - Bug in iTunes 7.2 - Will No Longer Load All MP3s Into 60GB iPod

    I upgraded my iTunes to version 7.2. Unfortunately, iTunes refuses to load 101 mp3 songs that formerly played on my iPod Video 60 GB onto my iPod. These were songs that I purchased from iTunes in the last year, burned to a CD and then ripped back into unprotected MP3 format. iTunes gives me an error message that states that these MP3s are in a format this not readable by the iPod.
    I did a restore of the iPod, but this did not fix the problem.

    This is a very strange bug.
    To be more precise:
    I have a 17" Mac iSight G5 (1.9 GHz) with OS 10.4.9 installed.
    This morning I upgraded from iTunes 7.1 to iTunes 7.2. After I upgraded, I went to sync my 5th generation 60GB Video iPod (firmware 1.2.1) and it would not import 101 mp3s (encoded in iTunes at 192kbs). All of the 101 songs play correctly in iTunes and continue to synch correctly with my Apple TV. Furthermore, all of my other mp3s and protected AAC songs synched correctly with the 60GB Video iPod.
    I restarted the computer and restored the iPod, but neither fixed the problem.
    The 101 songs all were protected AAC songs that I purchased from iTunes, burned onto a CD and then ripped back into iTunes. The songs were purchased from iTunes between 2004 and 2007.
    I have had iTunes on Mac OS X since 2002 and have not had any prior problems with iTunes. My computer has no haxies, hardware or software modifications.
    I have 116 GB of movies, television shows and music in iTunes which we sync with our Apple TV and 60GB iPod.
    I have e-mailed Roy at Apple a description of the problem and a screenshot of the error message.

  • BUG: Playback Fails When Loading A Random Video - Firmware 1.2

    I've been looking all over on where to post a bug, and for a fix for this bug I found. Not many seem to be having this problem (I assume not many are trying to randomly play a video from a video playlist)
    BUG: Playback Fails When Loading A Random Video
    iPod FIRMWARE: 1.2
    PROBLEM (1): When pressing "Play" on a video playlist or on 'Music Videos' while the iPod is set to Random->Song, the iPod displays a white playback screen, displays song 0 of 0, empty duration bar and a duration time of 0:00/-0:00.
    PROBLEM (2): After successful playing a seleted video within a video playlist or music video list, the iPod attempts to play a randomly choosen video (HDD clicks abnormally) but times-out and returns the user to the Playlist selection screen.
    iPod MODEL: 60GB Video - Black [Bought in NOV 05]
    If anyone knows how to report a bug, or anyone else having this problem (Try it on you iPod, post your results!) let me know!

    I've been looking all over on where to post a bug...If anyone knows how to report a bug let me know!
    If you want to post a bug report for Apple to see, then this wouldn't be the place to post it (Apple employees rarely look on these forums; all other regular posters on here are just users that like to help others).
    To tell Apple about this, select "Bug Report" under "Feedback Type" on their Feedback form for iPods here -> iPod Feedback
    I hope this helps you,

    If any post helps or solves your issue, please mark it that way accordingly. Thank you for helping the boards!

  • Non root user can delete root files, bug?

    We're having an odd permissions based problem on Solaris 10 u5 x86_64, (new install, fully patched as of 2 days ago) It means that non root users can delete root owned files, which is something I've never seen before, and I've been doing this for almost 10 years.
    We're installing into an 80Gb container on VMware ESX server 3.0.1. The OS takes 20Gb (2 processors, 4Gb memory, 8Gb swap) most of the remaining 60Gb is being used as both file systems and raw devices under disksuite as soft partitions. It's one of the file systems, /apps (where we plan to install sybase) that is giving us "issues"
    Essentially:
    # more /etc/vfstab |grep apps

    It's a new "bare metal" (in as much as there is no metal) install. I created the sybase user from scratch by hand editing passwd, group and shadow, buy copying and pasting the data out of the NIS maps. All I've done besides the install & patch is setup networking manually, and created the metadb's and the soft partitions and the mount points & newfs'ed & mounted three of them . I then changed ownership of /apps to be sybase:sybase, and handed it to the database team for the sybase install. they came back and said "should we be able to do this?" as they habitually run rm rf * knowing they can't delete root owned files, only now they can... This is true even if I just chgrp the directory and give them group write permissions. They can still delete anything owned by root, even if it doesn't have group permissions just like the lost+found directory. No other "real" machine we have, x86 or SPARC does this, but we've never installed u5 before either.
    As you can imagine losing the lost+found directory is a bit of a problem, however what's really worrying me is if they can do that, what happens when they run sybase as the sybase user? If it borks can they trash the OS and write/overwrite random files?
    It's a VM, so in as much that's not a problem, but the reason it's a VM is somebody wants to send a VM to a client as a demo, and at present it's highly unstable IMO.
    Does anyone have any idea where to start? My thoughts are that it may be a VMware issue, (though the hardware and the guest OS is supported) it could be a bug, because I've never seen that weird newfs error before, and then I found this:
    http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6622243
    Or it could be me, and the fact that I'm hand configuring it, and u5 now requires I do it "properly" with useradd, etc. I'd like to test, but the guy wants it built, and wants it now, so I patched it up, and gave it back to the database team and told them to be careful.
    I'd be interested in you opinions regardless.
    The full spec of the "machine" is below, sol10 is not it's name for obvious reasons, and I've hashed out the ID & GIUD for similar reasons.

    An easy way to think of it is this -- everything in Unix is a file. Including directories; they are just a file which contains a list of the files in that directory, and pointers to them.
    If the 'sybase' user has write permission on the directory, they have permission to edit that "list", and can add or remove files to the list. It doesn't matter who the files on the list belong to, because the files are not what is being modified. Only the list of files is being modified. (Of course, in Unix, if you erase the file's listing from all of the lists it's on, the file itself goes away for housekeeping purposes.)
    One thing that would have stopped the 'sybase' user from removing the lost+found directory is if that directory itself had files in it -- without write permission to the lost+found directory, that user could not have removed those files, and since one cannot remove a non-empty directory, that operation would have failed. Since lost+found was empty in this case, it could be removed simply by having permission to write to the /apps directory.
    This behavior does change if you set the sticky bit on the directory -- in that case, files may only be removed by the owner of the file or directory, or if the user has write permission to the file. This would have prevented the sybase user from removing the lost+found directory. (Note, this also applies to the 'rename' function call.) This would probably be the best way to handle your situation, since you apparently do want the sybase user to be able to add files to /apps, but do not want them to be able to remove lost+found.

  • BUG: "Save As" dialog is not showing

    sometimes i have the problem (since CC) that the SAVE AS dialog is not showing.
    the window does not show when i select SAVE AS.
    SAVE works.. but i often want to save a new version without overwriting the old.
    i don´t know why it happens but it seems that BIG files (panoramas or many layers) are affected more often.
    happens 3-5 times a week.
    never had this problem with PS prior to CC.
    my system:
    intel I7 2600K
    16 GB ram
    GTX 770 (latest drivers)
    240 GB SSD (OS windows 7 64 bit)
    120 GB SSD (60GB free for scratch files)
    2 TB harddisk (1 TB free for scratch files)

    Photoshop should not crash even with big files so apparently there is something wrong.
    yeah obviously...
    Have you tried resetting Photoshop's preferences yet? That sometimes cures malfunctions.
    i have resetted the preferences yes.
    photoshop should not crash i agree.... but as you can read here in this forum it does.
    no software is free of bugs.... and i have worked long enough with computers to burry that expectation.

  • ITunes for Windows 7.0.1.8 bug report

    Do Apple employees actually read these forums? Is there some other (e.g. better) way for me to submit substantive iTunes bug reports to them?
    I've noticed a bug in iTunes for Windows, spanning both versions 6 and 7. I'm currently using 7.0.1.8 and the bug still manifests there. My iPod is a 60GB photo model, firmware version 1.2.1 (which is the latest available). This bug is reproducible on multiple PCs (by ripping the same CDs to two different iTunes installations on two different PCs), so it is definitely not a misconfiguration
    issue or a fouled up OS install or faulty PC hardware.
    If a song's artist field contains an ampersand character, then when the song is uploaded to the iPod, that artist entry does not appear at all in the "Artists" menu on the iPod itself. I have this problem with songs by "Korn & The Dust Brothers" and by "Larry Graham & Graham Central Station". Due to this bug, it's not possible to locate these songs by artist using the iPod's UI, even though the songs are indeed present on the iPod and can be accessed by album title.
    This bug is extremely obnoxious and needs to be fixed ASAP. Thanks.

    Chalk this one up to "bad feature design".
    Apparently the songs I was having trouble with just happened to be flagged (in "Get Info") as belonging to a compilation, and my iPod was set to "Compilations: On".
    I've never used the Compilations feature and I didn't understand how it worked. Apparently, any song that belongs to a compilation won't show up under the "Artists" view but will instead show up only under the "Compilations" view on the iPod (if "Compilations: On" is set in the iPod's UI).
    The Compilations feature isn't designed or explained very clearly anywhere, so I'm sure I'm not the only person who has been confused by its behavior. Especially since I never manually turned the feature on or manually set any songs I ripped as belonging to any compilations. I hope Apple will do something in future iTunes releases to alleviate that confusion.

  • Questions regarding itunes/ipod + found potential bug (itunes 7 + 5G ipod)

    I'd love to be proven wrong here.. but...
    Okay I've got an iPod 60GB video model (5G) and using itunes 7.0.2 on the imac and powerbook...
    now... my main storage point for music is the imac (so I automatically sync the ipod to itunes on the imac) and I like to take the ipod and powerbook with me to friend's places or what not.
    I found it stupid to have two identical libraries on two of my computers, so I got rid of my music collection on the powerbook (as all of it is on the imac). Now.. the dillema here, or dillemas I should add...
    a) before I used to use automatic sync, I ticked "manual manage music and videos" and thought life was peachy.. until I was at a friend's place, with my laptop, and wanted him to have a listen to a couple of tracks from the ipod, so I plugged it in, fired up itunes and it worked... however!
    (BUG RANT) The view mode settings keep reverting back to it's default when ever I plug the ipod back in again! as in "Show Browse" or cmd-B, which I want kept there when I listen to music, having to press cmd-B every time I want to scroll through my list is very f**ng annoying.
    Also having to change it to manual management of music every time. ***? (END BUG RANT)
    b) So I decided to try the automatic synchronising method, but when it is in automatically sync, I can't browse my music on my powerbook's itunes, and it keeps asking me to synchronise with the itunes library on the powerbook, which is blank!
    Can't there either be a 3rd party app which is like itunes in the sense you can browse/listen to the music on the ipod, or a simple method of management/maintenance when plugging in ipods to other computers without it synchronising with their libraries (for listening purposes only of course)
    So.. folks... Apple tech support gurus... WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS!??!?!?!?? :\

    You are on the right track!
    +--the entire iTunes folder found in My Music+
    This contains the itunes library database files (iTunes Library.itl which has metadata on ratings, play counts) and all the itunes library content files (Artist/Album, movies, etc.)
    The lyrics are inside each songs' file.
    The Artwork should also be in this folder.
    +-User Name\Application Data\Apple Computer+
    +-User Name\Local Settings\Apple Computer+
    These include the backups you need for the ipod and apps data.
    You don't need to deauthorize if you are simply reinstalling itunes. You only need to deauthorize if you are reinstalling Windows itself.
    +--Can I copy the iTunes folder from the external HDD and paste it back into the same location after I recover my laptop+
    Yes
    +if the version of iTunes is slightly different (I have 10.1.0.54)?+
    If the new version is at least 10.1.0.54
    It won't work to go backwards to an older version such as v9.0

  • Menu display bug

    i have a new 60gb i-pod video i've noticed that when i browse to music>artist and then to an artist that contains just one album it goes straight into that album rather than displaying a screen showing album options and 'all' as it does with an artist with more than one album. that's fine and i understand its a feature of the new i-pod but if you then 'back-up' from this back to the main artists menu the title bar at the top of the i-pod's display is now out of sink with the main display, for example back-up to the artists menu and the name of the artist you previously selected will be shown at the top rather than the word 'artists'. This is made worse as if you now go into an artist's folder which has more than one album as the incorrect artist's name remains at the top of the screen. this is very annoying and makes navigation difficult. is this a software bug, and are there any ideas how to fix it? thanks
    i-pod video 60GB   Windows XP  

    I just followed along with what you said, and got the same result. Looks like a bug to me! I check every day to see if there's a software update for the 5G iPods, since they defintly seem a bit buggy.

  • Software bug - playlist update via short key shift + shuffle

    In my previous 4G IPOD + Itunes 5.7 you could "re-shufle" the playlist by pressing shift + shufle button (as indicated in the short-key help in Itunes). This way if you added new albums which fall into the criteria of the playlist, you could re-sufle the playlist (otherwise the new album will be added at the end of the list instead of distribut the songs through the shufle list). Now with the 5G it does not work because although it shows re-shuffled in Itunes, it does not actually do anything on the Ipod therefore there is a mistmach of the sequence of the playlist in Itunes vs Ipod. Where can this bugs be reported in order to get them fixed?

    I have found this same problem with my 60GB. I create a playlist and add songs to it. While it is connected and in iTunes I select the playlist and hit shuffle. The playlist shuffles. When I eject and view the playlist on the iPod it is in the exact order that I created it. Not the shuffle that is displayed thru iTunes. I was able to do this on my 3rd gen iPod with no problems.

  • Firmware bug or defective unit?

    I have the 60GB video iPod. Sound check does not function when using the dock connector, i.e. plugged into my Belkin Autokit or a Kensington SoundDock. However, it functions as intended when used with the headphone jack. I previously used a 4G iPod, and sound check did function with the dock connector using those same products.
    I am wondering if this could be:
    a) a compatibility issue between the 5G connector and the older accessories
    b) a firmware issue (I am using the 10-12-05 updater)
    c) a bug in the 5G units
    d) a bad unit (i.e. mine only)
    If there is someone out there who has the same setup and could test this, it would help me. I could eliminate (a), (b), and (c) if yours works, and then I would try an exchange of my unit. The way I tested was to choose a song that had a significant change in volume with sound check on vs. off with the headphones, and then try the same song through the line out (dock).
    Thanks in advance if you can help.

    I have been able to confirm that this is a bug in the 5G, i.e. it effects all units.
    You should try switching Soundcheck on and off with several different selections using headphones. I am sure you will find one fairly quickly that exhibits a large change in volume. You don't need to do anything special to use Soundcheck other than turn it on. Itunes places the soundcheck data in the tag automatically when you add the selection to the library.

  • Dropouts 60GB iPod with apple lossless and equalizer

    I have noticed on the new 60GB 5th Generation iPod that some songs have a consistent early dropout under the following conditions:
    - apple lossless format
    - equalizer on, any setting
    - skip to the new song, or continue from last song (does not do it if restart an song already playing)
    I assume it is a buffer or equlizer bug, has anyone else had a similar problem?

    It doesn't do MP3, but iTunes has the abilty to automatically convert higher bit rate tracks, such as ALAC, to 128/192/256 AAC files on sync. There is no reason to keep multiple copies of the same track.
    Just connect your iPhone and select it in iTunes. Click the Summary tab and select the option to "convert higher..." then select the bit rate you want.
    Or, you can use one the new cloud syncing services such as iTunes Match, Google Music or Amazon Cloud Play. All these services will convert or "match" ALAC files to either 256 AAC/MP3.
