Case Recommendations For 30G Video Ipod

I will b e getting the above Ipod within a couple of weeks. Should I just get a v-sheild or just a case or both. Also, could you recommend a case. Thanks so much.

I really like the hard plastic, transparent case
SeeThru Hard Case for iPod Video 30GB, 3 Pack
Manufacturer: Speck Products
Mfg Part #: IV30-3PK-SEE
Available from CompUSA and a bunch of others. $30 for a three pack in three colors (clear, smoke grey, and red).
Easy on the pocket, can see video through screen, prevents scratches, etc. One trick, though. A standard 1/8" mini stereo plug won't fit through the case. Shave a little off your soft plastic mini-plugs with a craft knife and it works like a charm.

    You'll probably get a lot of opinions with iPod cases. Sometimes they are good, sometimes people report that they actually scratch an iPod.
    Some iPod cases can be found at Apple's online store:

    Be sure to click "Next" to go to the further pages to see all (or more of) the results for iPods cases.
    Also, you might want to search the Discussions for suggestions with specific iPods cases; this is a question that is asked very frequently, so you might find more answers by searching the Discussions:

    Sorry I can't directly suggest any specific ones, but searching for various answers on here might really be helpful.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Any compatible USB 2.0 cards available for the video iPod?

    Any compatible USB 2.0 cards available for the video iPod?
    Dual 867
    512 RAM
    OS X 10.4.3
    I installed a TECHGEAR USB 2.0 card, the iPod shows that is active on the bus, but does not show on the desktop, or in iTunes. Epson printer works, but SanDisk does not. I have read about deep sleep issues too. USB 1.0 is painfully slow. After using FW to update our 15 Gig iPods for sooooo looooong this is one BIG step backwards. Dupid genius at the Apple store in Arden Fair said this iPod would work with a PCI 2.0 card. I am a little ticked after purchasing videos for my wife with the promise a card would work. I know, should have done more research and not asked the genius.
    Merry Christmas,
    Shawn Bockoven

    Well, I now have a working USB 2.0 connection. BUT!!!! The lame OS X 10.4.3 sleep issue has raised its ugly head. How about supporting long time users Apple? Let's talk about supporting third party cards. I run a TV station and love my Mac's, but this legacy USB 2.0 stuff just stinks!
    WAIT!!! My Mac is only fours years old. Is that too old? I just want to make my dual 867 sleep! Why can’t I put make my dual 867 sleep after installing a third party card? All the new Mac’s at the station work just fine. Now convince my 62-year-old mom to switch.

  • Need leather case recommendation for 1st gen Nano

    Thanks for any info.

  • Flip case recommendations for 5S?

    Hi all,
    We are in the process of getting a couple of iPhone 5s' and am looking for some recommendations for flip style cases. Any favorites out there?
    Thanks,
    Ed

    I have both iphones and the biggest problem I had with the older one and now the new one is the cases. There are too many bulky cases that defeat the purpose of having a smart phone. The best hard case I found after buying seven of them is the Agent18 Shield. I have had it for all my ipods and have yet to get a scratch on my phone or ipod when dropped. The best part is it does not fall apart when you do drop it like many other bulky cases. The bad part about the Agent18 Shield is that there is no clip or holster for it to snap into it. You will have to carry it in your pocket. It is pretty slim though and less bulkier.

    Is there a thread with suggestions for best cases? if not, what are you iPhoners loving?

  • Converting Videos for the Video Ipod?

    ok i just bought the 60G Video IPOD, i downloaded a video from Itunes just to see if it works, i downloaded a video from Limewire, and when i went to add it to the ipod it says that it could not be added or using with the Ipod why? I need to converte it from the itunes Library? Ok once it gets downloaded into the limewire folder and i add it to itunes, what do i do next before adding it to the ipod, i am not spending 1.99 for each video that will be like 1,000 i spoend on videos..lol
    Thank you so much for your help

    I just got the Video iPod also. So far not too happy about the file type restrictions...after all I spent a year encoding MY entire DVD collectin and was thrilled not to have to take a laptop with me on travel.
    CONVERTING MOVIES for ViPOD.
    You have to have the updated Quicktime 7.0.3.
    AND then you have to open the file in QT.
    Go to EXPORT.
    Select "Movie to iPod" which will convert the file to an .m4v
    The movie will be saved in this mode as 320x240.
    However, this process is incredibly slow. It's been trying to convert a movie in .mp4 to .m4v and it's been two hours now and it looks like it's only 15% done.
    There has to be a faster conversion tool out there. For viewing a few flicks...I would have to spend days just to get 3 or 4 movies on my Video iPod.
    MY SUGGESTION: DONT BUY the ViPod YET!!!! Wait till the holidays are over or give an Apple Gift Card.

  • Movies for my video iPod

    I have an 80gb video iPod and I want to put some of the movies I own on it. I can not figure out how to get them downloaded to iTunes store though without having to buy them for 10bucks each. Can anyone help me?? Any help would be greatly app.
    Thanks
    Keith

    If these are movies from your own DVDs (commercially released movies), then unfortunately, because of copyright issues discussing this subject is not permitted on Apple's forums as the Apple Discussions User Agreement now clearly states.
    Under item 2, para 8.2 it says "Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store."

  • Purchased tv shows wont transfer to 30g video ipod even after latest update

    OK, so, after this latest update for itunes and ipod, i can only get one purchased tv show to transfer to the ipod video. how do i get the rest to transfer?
      Windows XP  

    Don't have my video with me, but do a search in the threads, or look in the help files in iTunes and you can find it, or someone will jump in here with it. I know you will need to connect your iPod, highlight it in the source list, and it should be on one of the syncing tabs.

  • Exchange my broken nano for a video ipod?

    The play/pause button on my 10-day-old nano stopped working so I used the online form to request warranty support. I shipped it today in the box they sent me.
    I'd actually like a video ipod instead of a (scratch-prone) nano back - does Apple let people do this? How would a guy in Canada go about speaking to someone in authority about it? (I returned my nano through an online process; there was no phone number that I could find.)

    Hey afw,
    You're a little confused about what other people were doing. They weren't sending in for repair, and getting new models- they were RETURNING their iPods (according to the return policy of where they bought it- with Apple, you have 14 days), and buying different ones instead.
    If you send your iPod in for repair, you will get the EXACT same model back as you sent in- there is NO WAY around this.
    And, if you have an engraved iPod, the 14 day return policy doesn't apply- it is unreturnable (though, under warranty, and of course repairable).
