Can I reading notes on my ipod?

I am learning a new language and want to make my notes readable on the ipod screen. I have "enabled disk use" in the pref. settings in iTunes and put a copy of my notes in the "Notes" folder on the ipod. But when I click to view the notes they look like code (the screen lists the font I used, the font style/size etc. My actual notes are scattered through this mess) . Is there a special format that the file must be save as before I put it on the ipod? I have a 20g ipod, black & white screen, with "click wheel". I don't know the "generation" but the in the "about " section (under settings) it says "version 3.1.1" (I assume this is the software).

The files need to be in plain text format for the iPod to display them properly; the iPod will only display 1000 notes and the first ~4000 characters of any note. If your note contains non-Roman characters, you may need to declare it as UTF-8 or an encoding which fits your needs.

  • While syncing it says that it can't read/write to the iPod. I've reset to factory settings and it still won't work.

    Every time I connect it to sync it says it's been sync'd with another library and do I want to erase and sync w/ the current itune library.....it has never been sync'd with another itunes library....just this one on my mac.  When it starts to sync and says that it can't read/write to the ipod. I've restarted it, reset it and made sure my itune is the most recent.  HELP.

    When you still have the problem after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment a th Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Can't read or write from iPod when it syncs with a big library

    When I try to sync with my 50Gb size library in the iTunes installed on my iBook G4 (10.4.11), it appears "can't read or write from the ipod", in the middle of the synchronization. It starts to do the job very well, but when it has done only 6 or 8 Gb, the process got slower until it appears such message. I have iTunes 7.6 and ipod firmware 1.1. I have tried on Windows and Mac plattforms, trying all the combinations (Mac and/or Win formats) and the trouble persists. The device has only two weeks of use, and it was working perfectly until now. The problem it is the same if I do it manually (no automatic sync). I am not sure if the problem is defective hardware, does anybody have any idea or have similar problem? Thanks.

    Thanks a lot for your answer. The idea of an increasing autoplaylist it is pretty good. I did it, in 5 Gb steps, and in the thrid step (10 Gb done), when it only has copied almost one Gb, the error message pop up again. Before the message appears, iTunes become slower and slower copyng each song until it stops in one song, and after a while, message appears. After, the system come down, almost blocked, and it takes a long until I can mount the ipod again. Of course, ipod restarts automatically and the songs copied in the last step are not there. I was taking care in every moment of the process, avoiding to leave the system suspend alone (and also turning off all the saving energy options). I am now pretty sure that the problem is on the device. Anyway, thank you very much for your valuable ideas.

  • Can Mail sync notes from multiple ipods?

    Can the Mail app in Leopard sync seperate notes from the Notes app on two different iPod touches?  In other words will it keep track of notes created on iPod #1 seperately from notes created on iPod #2?  I don't want to hit that 'sync' button on iPod #2 until I'm sure

    I'm still on Vista - that's interesting. There's no email client? Is there any other option for you to sync notes with in that tab? You have to scroll down to the Other section where you can also check to sync bookmarks.

  • ITunes can't read or write to iPod -- won't sync

    Classic 30 Gb iPod approx 1 yr old, Windows XP Pro, iTunes 7.5. I added some new trax to iTunes to make total approx 5800 trax, 18 Gb. When I attach the iPod it will load approx 130 trax, 380 Mb, then get msg that iTunes can neither read nor write to the hard disk. The loaded trax will play. I have done the 5 Rs many times, sent the iPod to Apple twice, deleted iTunes many times, deleted the iTunes library and partially reloaded my CDs, all to no avail. I am convinced that I have an iTunes prob because a) Apple can't find a prob and b) I can load my wife's library of approx 1000 trax, using her computer w 7.5

    hi, im also having a similar sort of problem. previous generation iPod video 80Gb version, windows vista 32bit and itunes 7.5(although the problem also occurred with the last 7.4 update).currently the iPod is empty, and out of the 9364 songs (50.01 Gb) in my itunes library, less than 100mb will be synced to my ipod before the sync simply cuts out, like it had completed the sync normally. I have taken the ipod in to an apple store and it synced perfectly with a mac. I have also tried removing and re-installing itunes, even deleted the preferences and other app data that normally gets left in the computer, and i also tried restoring the ipod to factory settings several times to no avail... oh, and i also tried using different cables to connect the ipod, incase the cable was loose, but that didnt work either.

  • Can't read notes while recording voiceover

    It seems Keynote only allows me to record while viewing the slideshow in "play" mode. I need to record it while looking at my notes on screen. Can it do that?

    Can you read them again if you remove this file?

  • Can't put notes on my ipod video?

    I have an Ipod Video, I don't know if that's what it's actually called or not, I got it about four years ago.
    Anyway, I've been trying for a while now to put .txt files on my ipod in the Notes category and can't seem to get it to work. I've been through all the manuals and instructions and FAQ's and tried everything, and every time I drag a txt file to my ipod icon it says "your text document was not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod." is there some way I can fix this?

    Hello hagena,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you made sure you have "enabled disk use" on your iPod? If not, this article explains how to do that. You need to do this first before you can copy notes to your iPod.
    [Using your iPod as a storage drive|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478?viewlocale=en_US]
    Are you sure you are dragging the text file to the Notes folder of your iPod through Windows explorer? You will need to open up Computer and then navigate to your iPod's drive icon. Double click on it and then double click on the Notes folder within it. That is where you should be dragging these files.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't read or write to ipod

    I spent all night uninstalling and re-installing itunes, quicktime and Bonjour, followed Dmtry's advice and my ipod still only updates a portion of my music.
    I have reset it and restored factory settings (with all the latest upgrades).
    Last night is DID copy some music- all the artists beginning with "A" but stopped after with this message:
    "Attempting to copy to the disk 'XXXXXXXXX'S IPOD' failed. The disk could not be read from or written to".
    I think it must be a hardware problem. Is this right? Is there anyway I can fix it? I've had the 20G U2 ipod for almost a year now.
    thanks

    I have found a previous topic which answers our problem.
    I've often found the best remedy is to isolate the offending file causing the error, uncheck it and then continue with the sync.
    I only sync podcasts, music I manage manually which is far better as I'm in control.
    Apple are not living up to thier hype and marketing claptrap !

  • Sync errors - Can't read or write to "ipod name " disk - Possible FIX/CURE

    For those that are getting this error while syncing try the following .
    a . Stop Itunes from starting when plugging in your ipod ( this is temp just while doing the below and can be set back afterwards )
    b . plug in ipod and go to " my computer " , right click on
    your ipod ( Drive "E" on mine will vary on others )
    c . click on hardware tab and then double click on "apple ipod usb device "
    d . click on policies tab and then change the selection to " optimize for performance "
    Then retry your sync and all should hopefully be ok .
    Please post back if you tried it and let us know the results .

  • Can't read notes on PDF in preview

    I can't believe I am having problems with Preview - but I am. I have inserted sticky notes on a PDF within preview and now when I re-open the PDF, I am unable to expand the note to read what was written? I've tried right clicking, opening up the side panel what am I missing!? I'm ready for any "duh" moment you can offer.
    Thanks!

    Preview used to be able to add links to PDFs but it was one of the features silently taken away
    To edit a PDF either try Illustrator if you have it, or  PDFPen Pro (I think they have a full featured demo). If you're ok with an online editor, I've used http://www.pdfescape.com/ quite a few times and it works a treat for a lot of things like adding links.

  • I can't view notes on my ipod nano

    I've tried a few times to get my notes, all saved in text files, to show up on my ipod. I followed the instructions and enable the ipod for disk use and then moved the files to the 'notes' folder on the ipod, but when I look in the folder on the ipod, it tells me I have no notes. Am I missing a step? If anyone's had a similar experience, I could use some advice. Thanks all!

    Yhea, same here, i've tried almost everything, checking the hidden files, deleting .metadataneverindex, adn changing text formats but even if they are on the iPod, i can't see them when i go to Extras>Notes

  • After updating to ITunes 11.1.4 ITunes can see but not recognize my IPod and all my music was deleted from my IPod

    I have not had any issues until I updated to the latest version. I have tried all the suggestions on the support web page and nothing has worked. I am hoping that this version of ITunes is the issue and that Apple will release a fixed version, Any suggestions?

    Ok, here is the fix per Chad at Apple. Just did it and it worked.
    Open the Control Panel
    Uninstall *in this order*:
    1. iTunes
    2. Apple Mobile Device Driver
    3. Apple App Updater
    4. Bonjour
    You may need to reboot after uninstalling Apple Mobile Device Driver, and ok if it still shows in the Control Panel.
    Next, go to Apple.com, then download and install the most recent version of iTunes.

    I have tried everything from re-installing iTunes - resetting iPod and starting over. Tried going back to a date when iPod worked well, etc. etc. Download starts, but only copies a few tunes then a popup appears, stating my iPod cannot be read or copied to. Could I have a virus? I would really appreaciate some answers. Thanks
