Connecting 80G video IPOD to Pioneer Elite receiver

When I connect my IPOD to Pioneer Elite receiver using the Pioneer supplied cable, I get a message on the IPOD display showing the Pioneer logo and OK TO DISCONECT! I tried setting the video out to ON but still no luck. Anybody got any clues?
Thanks,

You need to read your Pioneer manual carefully. Check for HDMI passthrough settings, assuming your receiver functions as a HDMi switch. This is definitely a configuration issue with your receiver, not the Apple TV. A receiver typically works by having multiple HDMI inputs for various components like cable or satellite boxes, Blu-ray player, AppleTV, etc., and a single output port to the HDTV that will be the display. There is also some little amount of signal loss as it passes through the receiver and the length of the cables may come into play.

I was having issues with my 80G Video iPod and had to restore it, but now it seems all of my music on it previously is "corrupt" . How did all my songs get corrupted and how do I fix them?

I was having issues with syncing my 80G video iPod, so I restored it, and now all my songs in my library are "corrupted" and I can't get them back on my iPod. I keep getting error(-69). How did my songs all get corrupted, and how do I fix this without having to purchase these songs all over again?

Error message when connecting 80GB Video iPod

I'm getting this error message when trying to connect my 80GB Video iPod:
"The iPod (name) cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)."
Never seen this one before.
I haven't synced this iPod for a few weeks but it always behaved fine before, taking a few seconds to appear in iTunes (v7.5) then syncing perfectly when I hit the Sync button (I have it set to manually sync only because sometimes I want to change the contents or only sync music).
Before syncing on this occasion, I did an iPod software update via iTunes - iTunes said there was a newer version (1.2.3). After the update, I disconnected the iPod for a few minutes (somehting I wanted to check content before syncing), then reconnected it. At first iPod took about a minute to show up in iTunes - way too long. I Reset the iPod and tried again but still LONG delay to appear in iTunes (again about 1 minute). I did another Reset - same result. Then I did a complete Restore, after which syncing to restore the contents gave problems - it refused to finish the sync. I had to disconnect and start again, syncing the data one section per sync session - Contacts, music, videos, iCal - which seemed to work fine. Then I disconnected, waited a few minutes then reconnected the iPod to check. It wouldn't connect at all. Did a Reset, tried o connect again and it did connect but then proceeded to resync all my contacts taking almost 30 minutes (way too long) to do so (I had made NO changes in Address Book since that data was put in there). I tried to reconnect again but then got the error message (above). Did another total Restore and the same shenannigans happened. Now, I have an iPod with data on it and works fine, but iTunes won't recognise it - just gives this error message every time.
By the way, my 8GB Nano (software 1.1.3) seems to sync fine on the same system, same computer.
Could this be the 1.2.3 iPod software giving issues? I appreciate any help because I also use this iPod for recording for my work, which getting a little urgent now.
Many thanks.

Thanks Zevoneer, but no real success. I did all that but when I tried to sync after it, it got partially through the sync (about 10% I'd guess) and presented an error message saying that the disk couldn't be read form or written to (sorry but I forgot the error number). I disconnected the iPod, waited a few minutes then reconnected and again got the message but then the ipod continued to finish the sync, even though almost all of the music and 2 of my 4 videos didn't go over to the iPod. I'm now thinking that this just isn't satisfactory reliability from the device since I use it a lot in my work and rely on it. But this new iPod is only a few months old, had very little use and only made about 12 recordings - In comparison, I've used the Nano heaps but now want to move over to the bigger one, basically for more capacity and bigger screen for video. I wonder if it's a hard drive failure in this iPod?

Extremely slow sync, locking up computer, new 80G Video iPod

When I plug it into the computer, everything slows down. Sometimes get the message "can't connect to Store perform desired operation" (or some such verbiage)
Tried all the usual tricks I could think of.
Never had this problem with my old 3rd gen iPod.
I am on a Windows XP computer, tried renaming it as a different letter hard drive, tried re-booting computer, tried unplugging & starting over a dozen times.

with itunes 7, the ipod gets its software updated when itunes connects to apple and downloads the update and updates your ipod. right now the servers are being hit hard and are so busy that you get messages like the ones you are getting. my suggestion is to try setting up the ipod late at night when there is not so much trafic requests for these servers

80g video ipod just displays apple logo and makes loud clicking noises

I've had my ipod 80g for a little over two years, with few incidents, and it's about 50 g full. When I most recently connected it to my computer, it started making these loud whirring and clicking noises and the apple logo is all that shows. I know the ipods can't be expected to last more than a few years (or so I'm told) so my question is what to do. Should I take it into the apple store and have the hard drive totally wiped of all my music, should I try some alternative fix (this strange business card opening the ipod technique, for instance?), or is there something else I should try? Is an ipod in this stage even salvagable? Thanks!

i had the same problem. i saw a great video on how to fix it and it worked for me.
the guy who posted it also offers free advice. check it out. good luck.

i would like to know the answer as well

80G Video iPod - Not sure what the problem is

So this problem just randomly started occuring. What will happen is my iPod will freeze completely, and then it will go to this screen which has a warning i have never seen before. It is an iPod with a triangular warning sign on it (with exclamation mark on it). There is text under the warning sign saying "www.apple.com/support/ipod". If anyone has had this problem before and/or know how to fix it, I would really appreciate the help. Thanks a ton.

See if these help.

Pioneer Elite System

About a year ago I purchased a complete Pioneer Elite System complete with Blu Ray. It was the technician's first day of work and I don't think he connected and setup the system properly. Everytime we play a dvd movie on the Blue Ray, midway through the movie, the sound cuts off (and I think the input changes). The picture continues but there is no sound until I manually change the input back to HDMI 1. Recently I sent an email to the Pioneer support online and they told me to reset the receiver and gave me the steps. Well, not only did that NOT fix the problem, but it made it worse. Now the sound cuts off 2 or 3 times during the movie and when I turn the system off the receive stays on and the LCD shows "Zone 2 on". I don't know how to get the Zone 2 to turn off and I still have the problem with the sound cutting off during the movie. I have read the manuals, but just do not understand them. Best Buy wants $299.00 for someone to come out and fix it. I paid $14,000.00 for the system, and I really don't want to pay $300 to get it straightened out. Can someone PLEASE help.

Okay here is what I have:
Pioneer Elite Receiver Model # VSX92T XH
Pioneer Elite BluRay Model # BDP-95 FD
Pioneer Elite Plasma Display TV - There are two model numbers on the manual and I can't see the back of the tv to see which one it is but the two model numbers are: PRO-150FD/PRO-110FD
The Plasma TV is set to input TV/SAT and the BluRay is set to HDMI 1
Any help or guidance you can give me would be MOST appreciated. The two issues I have are:
1. Mid-way through a DVD movie the sound cuts off and I have to manually turn the input back to HDMI
2. When I turn off the system the receiver stays on with "Zone 2 on" shown in the LCD panel and it won't turn off.
THANK YOU SOOOOOO VERY MUCH!

Video ipod froze

I purchased a movie from those online "movies to ipod" sites (buyimovies.com) and put it on my 80g video ipod. the movie worked fine as i would watch about a half hour each night before bed. one night, the screen went dark and the ipod froze. i tried rebooting the ipod but it would not let me. i had to let the battery drain before i could use my ipod again. like an idiot, i tried it again with the same result. i have not purchased an Itunes movie yet nor do i have any other video files on my ipod. do you think there is something wrong with my ipod or do you think it was the video file. i just find it weird how one day it just stopped working.
any suggestions

Try playing the movie in Quicktime and see if it doesn't play there too. This site seems to be half-dead right now. I wonder what they are encoding with, what codec and where they get the license?

My video ipod freezes iTunes

I just got a MacPro with OS 10.4.8. I have iTunes 7.0.2. Every time I connect my video ipod to listen to music, it crashes after an hour or so. My clock on my computer freezes too, yet every other software is working fine. I force quit iTunes and nothing happens - it'll stay stuck until I restart my computer. This happens every time I try to listen to my music off the iPod. On another note, I can listen to music stored on my computer with iTunes with no problem. I had no problems before with my G4 with OS 10.3. What can be the problem?
MacPro, G4 and emac Mac OS X (10.4.8) 30 GB Video ipod

I've almost the same problem. Does your iPod seem to be crazy about the battery status?... Mine's, when I reset it, shows full battery, the very next minute, empty, and so on.
I think, it freezes iTunes and any other aplication wich is usign files stored in the iPod because the iPod Discharged.
I hope someone can help.

Video iPod flashes on desktop then disappears

When I connect my video iPod to my PowerMac, it flashes on the desktop (and if I'm quick enough I can even double click it and open up a folder), but once iTunes starts up, the icon disappears. Even when I force quit iTunes before it starts, my iPod still disappears. Any help in finding my wayward icon?
Thanks!

Try enabling disk use for your iPod.

Pioneer Elite VSX-84txi & iPod: where does D/A conversion occur?

Hello, first time poster!
I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to in the owner's manual or on the net and perhaps some knowledgeable person could help me. I own a Pioneer Elite VSX-84txi manufactured in Nov 2006 and a new model iPod manufactured in late 2008. The Pioneer has the latest firmware update. I use the Pioneer supplied iPod cable included with the receiver to connect the iPod to the receiver.
With Wadia pushing the i170 transport as the first solution to bypass the iPod's internal DAC, I was wondering if my iPod passes a digital signal to be decoded by the Pioneer Elite VSX-84txi or if the signal is decoded by the iPod's DAC and passed as analog to the Pioneer. Essentially the answer to this question will dictate whether or not I buy the Wadia i170 (I don't care about video, just the audio processing).
Thanks in advance!!!
Dan

Well, I received this reply from Pioneer today:
"Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc.
The signal is decoded by the iPod and passed as analog to the Pioneer receiver.
Thank You,
Ismael
Customer Service Representative"
So I guess I'll be buying the Wadia as the Pioneer iPod connection confers no advantages other than charging the unit while it plays.
