Can u use 30g video ipod as a flash drive?

alright ok ive been using my 30g ipod as a falsh drive for little over 2 months now and never had a problem
but now when ever i put stuff in the harddrive of the ipod and birng it to my home comp i always get that freaking caution sign and have to restore my ipod >.> and everything in te hard drive of the ipod gets deleted >.>
and like well ive been using my ipd at school and when i connect to the school comp i save things to my ipod but the problem is i cant disconect it by right clicking and click eject cause the school comps are pretty crappy
so i usally just pull it out whe it still says "do not disconect" so is that a bad thing?
if so is there a way to manuely discoect the ipod with out using the right click eject...

"so can any one tell me if it is possible to use my viedo iPod as a memory flash"
Yes you can. The 5th Generation iPod doesn't have a flash drive but you can store files on it's hard drive just like any other external hard drive device.
"if any one knows please let me know"

Why I can't see some songs in my 30G video Ipod if I search via artist?

Hi. This is an Ipod question. I load my iTunes library in 2 Ipods,the new 30G video and in the old 20G photo. Why is it that in the 20G Ipod when I search for the songs via artist, all of them appear, but when I search via artist in the 30G Ipod in some cases it only appears one song, and all the others dont, although they are there, cause when I search via song I find them. This is very annoying, cause I hate to search via song. The songs are perfectly edited, the probe is that with the 20G photo Ipod I dont have this problem. I think is a problem with the Ipod cause I been having this problem with 3 different 30 G Ipod video (Mine & my friends). Does anyone has had the same problem?

Hi Chris.
Ok every son gneeds artist and album, but why in my 20 G photo Ipod I can see the songs searching via artist without any problem. And why in the new 30G video Ipod it only happens with some artists, cause for example I have 40 u2 songs, some with album name and some not, and all of them appear searching via artist. But with another artist, for example def leppard, I have 15 songs (some with album name, and some not) and searching via artist I can see only the ones in some particular album, and others that also have album name dont appear unless I look for them via song

30G Video IPod and Windows Vista - Help!

I just recently bought a new computer equipped with Windows Vista. I have a 12" G4 iBook that was my main computer from which I ran my 30G Video iPod, and now I am wanting to sync my iPod with my new Windows computer, and this will be the only system I use with my iPod.
I realize there are many problems with compatibility of iTunes/iPods with Windows Vista.
My question is, barring the problems with iTunes, I downloaded the latest iTunes anyways and tried to use Yamipod to bring my 1600+ songs onto my computer from my iPod by bypassing iTunes. Problem is, my computer doesn't even recognize the iPod at all. iTunes does, but when I cancel the box asking me to reformat my iPod to Windows format and try to use Yamipod, Yamipod doesn't even recognize an iPod existing. I thought maybe it was just the program, so I tried about 4 others, but nothing. I also used the cd that came with my iPod and put the drivers onto this computer, but the actual computer still doesn't even recognize it plugged in.
Any ideas? Also, because a lot of my songs are in m4a format, how will that work if I am able to put them on this computer? Will I have to convert them all to mp3?
Thank you for any help you can give.

And given that Vista has been available in Release
candidate version for ages and that the release date
has been known for ages, shouldn't apple have made
the effort to make itunes compatible with Vista?
After all, the vast majority of itunes users live in
Windows land.
perhaps you should familiarise yourself with the common usage and implications of the symbol string
but as you clearly aren't familiar with it, if i took your question seriously, which i don't, then the answer is no...
your argument is that being first and being in the majority rules
that'll be apple then won't it
i) i can't be bothered to check the itunes release date, certainly it was out in 2001, which is several years before microsoft even figured out what to call the os formerly known as longhorn, let alone finished sawing off the pieces it couldn't make work
ii) the majority of people with portable music players use ipod/itunes, so it is for microsoft to conform with the majority and not make changes that impair the products used by the majority
so, by your own argument, it is microsoft's responsibility to maintain compatibility

New 30g video iPod not fully accessible.

Hi all,
I looked around but couldn't find any replies specific enough for my sitch.
I just got a brand new 30g video iPod last week. I tried to load it up this weekend using my 2002, 1ghz, 17" flat panel iMac (usb 1.0/firewire).
I'm able to load playlists/music on my iPod (10.75 gigs so far) but I can't load videos. When I try, I get a message saying , more or less, that "the video can't be loaded on this iPod". Also, in iTunes, I only get tabs in the iPod section for:
Summary
Music
Podcasts
Contacts
And, under summary it reads: n/a for Software Version and n/a for Serial Number. And it says - Format: Windows. Since it was brand new out of the box, I figured it would have configured itself to Mac automatically?????? And "Software Update" and "Restore" are grayed out and not useable.
I thought all this might have something to do with using a usb 1.0 port on my iMac but I used a PC laptop with usb 2.0 and iTunes to check the iPod with and got these results:
I got more tab choices for the iPod such as: Movies, Photos, etc. and it showed the Software Version and Serial Number of the iPod but when I tried loading a video, I still got the same message saying that the video couldn't be loaded on this iPod.....huh????
Anybody know what's going on. I want to use the iPod to it's full capability and I want to use it mainly with my iMac because that is where I have all of my music and movies/videos (total of about 19 gigs worth of music and video). I'd rather not have to transfer all that to the PC.
Do I need to use Disk Utility to erase the iPod? I just don't want to mess it up.
Thankxx

Hi, just to be clearer guy's:
1. I'm not trying to upload movies from DVD's just digitized, downloaded videos.
2. I am only using iTunes to manipulate the iPod, thought that was clear.. :/
3. I tried the different video formats just to see if any at all would load.
I'll try to restore on the PC laptop. I'm still confused as to why the box says "PC/Mac" but upon connecting it to my iMac right out of the box, it was Windows formatted???
Oh well, let me give the PC restore a try. I'll let you all know.

30G video iPod won't show on desktop or in iTunes

Powerbook G4, 10.4.8, iTunes 7.0.1
30G Video iPod, connected by USB cable -- oh so frustrated! Big trip coming up and can't put any of my audible books on my iPod!
This seems to have started after I upgraded iTunes to 7.0, is this source of my problem?
Suddenly I plugged in my iPod and it won't show up on the desktop, iTunes or Disk Utility
Things I've tried:
Reset iPod, (can't restore the iPod, since no application or utility will recognize it), did all upgrades to iTunes, unplugged all usb ports, repaired all permissions, tried plugging it into another Mac G5 and it wouldn't show up there either.
It plugs into my power source from the electrical outlet and is fully charged, and plugs into my car radio via a monster cable just fine, just won't connect to a computer.
Please, I'll try anything. Thanks so much for your help.

You cannot use it. You would have had to set it up on your ipod itself before you lost it. Since you did not "turn on the icloud", then you have not set up find my ipod.
Sorry.
There is no way to track your ipod.

I had Leopard on may Mac. I upgraded to Mountain Lion using Snow Leopard. I can't use my video with Mountain Lion. Can I load Snow Leopard on an external hard drive so I can use it with my camera?

I had Leopard on may Mac. I upgraded to Mountain Lion using Snow Leopard. I can't use my video with Mountain Lion. Can I load Snow Leopard on an external hard drive so I can use it with my camera?

First, you cannot do this if you have a Boot Camp partition.
Second: Create a new partition.
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Third: Install Snow Leopard.
Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD. Follow instructions for installation being sure that before you actually install Snow Leopard you have selected the new partition as your target destination.
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo
appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.

Can I use my 160gb iPod classic as an external hard drive for my MacBook?

That link seems to be broken. It does normally lead to a solution. For the time being go to
http://www.google.com/search?q=ipod+classic+disk+mode
Let your mouse hover over the link until you see the option appear on the right to view the cached version Google contains:
Putting iPod devices with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode
If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
If you are having difficulty putting your iPod into Disk Mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center. If you are still unable to put your iPod into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
If you have an older iPod model, without a Click Wheel
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, then release them. This resets iPod. When you reset iPod, all your music and data files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost.
When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod should say "Do not disconnect".
If you have an iPod nano (6th generation)
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black. This should take about eight seconds.
When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.

No. Tracks you purchase from the iTunes Store are for your personal use only and cannot be posted, either separately or as part of a video or slide show, on any public web site or otherwise distributed to others in any way. You can't even legally give that video to your brother.

Can I use ION VIDEO 2 PC on my iMac?

Can I use ION VIDEO 2 PC on my iMac? .....OR what can my friend use instead?
My friend has an iMac, she used to have Tiger 10.4, then upgraded to I think the Leopard, Snow Leopard, or even to Lion...she doesn't even know. The one thing that I think gave it a way was the PC part of Video 2 PC.....Apples are NOT PC's...right? An apple is an Apple, and a PC is everything else?
My friend bought this ION VIDEO 2 PC, but she has an APPLE iMac, not a reg. PC.
Not sure what Apple O.S. she has. She did have Tiger 10.4 OS, but may have upgraded to LION or at least Snow Leopard 10.6... ???
My Main question is this.....Can she use this ION VIDEO 2 PC device to capture video from either her HD Camcorder or analog camcorder? I don't know if she has iMovie or iDvd, then use the ION device to capture, then use her apple software to maybe edit/burn DVD's.
Thanks for any help! OR, does she need to return this, and then get something a little more iMAC friendly? ( ‘Grass Valley’ or ‘Pinnacle Studio’ software?)
She doesn’t know much about computers, not Apples nor PC’s. She doesn’t even know if she has the iMovie or iDVD installed on her iMac. I’m just trying to help her capturing video from both her Analog or digital camcorders, then burning to DVD.

Apples and every other brand of computers are PC's (short for "personal computer"), but Apple wanted to differentiate themselves from the other manfacturers.
OT: That is not quite correct. The term "personal computer" (common noun) emerged in the 1970s to distinguish microcomputers from minicomputers and mainframes.
There were a variety of architecture and platforms; great names from that age (Commodore, Wang) are now largely forgotten. Apple emerged in the second half of the decade with the Apple I personal computer.
At the beginning of the 1980s, IBM, dominant in the mainframe business, decided to enter the personal computer market, and it did so with the IBM 5150, or the IBM PC ("Personal Computer" -- proper noun). Due to several factors (including IBM's size and power) this platform became a virtual industry standard. While other platforms fell by the wayside, various manufacturers began to build "IBM PC-compatible" products; the terms then became "PC-comaptible", and, nowadays, just "PC".
As long as Apple's computers were based on a different processor architecture, they were personal computers, but they were not PCs. After Apple switched to the current Intel processor line, it became debatable whether its computers are PCs, or a different type of personal computer. I don't have the intimate understanding of the PC hardware platform necessary to have an opinion on the topic. For a good many people a "PC" actually means a Wintel machine, ie, a personal computer based on the Intel x86 (or compatible) architecture, designed to run under Windows; a Mac complies with the former, but not with the latter, so it's still not a PC in that sense.

How can I use app find iPod for my daughters iPod even if she has own acct Id?

How can I use app find iPod for my daughters iPod even if she has own acct Id?

Hi,
So far so good! I was successful with my first request-and thanks, but I guess i did not ask enough.
New question: Is there any way for me to have my Apple devices show up with my daughters even though we have different apple id's? I was able to have her sign in and I could see but, if she doesn't sign in I can't see her device. She is only 15 and I going on a trip soon that I would like to just have security if she looses her device or I'll know she is okay. I don't want to sync and see everything, just the where abouts of the device. We were able to create a music folder for her music only and not mine- Success!
Did I ask too much?
Thanks for your quick reply!

Can I use the 40g/ipod charger with my ipad2?

Can I use the 40g/ipod charger with my ipad2?

Not the best idea, it'll overheat and could damage either the ipad or the charger. The iPad will be attempting to draw more wattage then the little charger is designed to put out.
Here is a link for the proper one http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC359LL/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjA
This would work for both :)

Can i use nokia video manager for converting video...

Can i use nokia video manager for converting videos will this support n79

Only be aware that Nokia video tools only work for videos that are not longer than 35 minutes.
Also the quality is not very good, you can get better results from other encoders.
Lastly they are Really slow compared to other tools available.
640K Should be enough for everybody
