5th generation video iPod USB not working

Hi, my 15 month old iPod 5th generation video no longer connects with USB on my iBook (all my other USB devices work just fine in the two USB 2 ports).
The screen lights when iPod is plugged in and when unplugged using USB, but that appears to be the in toto communication performed.
I have performed the five Rs, and putting the iPod into disc mode yields the expected result on the screen of the iPod (tick and OK to disconnect) but no connection to the computer (yes, I have plugged/unplugged a number of times).
I have disconnected the battery (as another poster suggested) for several minutes and that does not seem to have helped in resetting the system.
It charges just fine via Firewire (either by a Firewire port on my iBook or by an Apple Firewire AC adaptor type charger), with absolutely no charging taking place when connected with USB (either by a USB 2 port on my iBook (G4 2004 model) or by an Apple USB AC adaptor type charger).
I have also tried three different USB cables, one old, two brand new Apple ones (all of which work just fine on my old 4th gen iPod, my daughter's 3rd gen iPod and my partner's two 4th gen iPods).
When I run the inbuilt diagnostics on the iPod, all of them come back as ok, including USB, both as charging and communication, so, in theory, everything should be ok, but most patently isn't.
I have tried to use the iPod on a Windows 2000 computer and an older iMac (both of which otherwise work fine with other iPods either using USB and Firewire) with nil recognition by any.
I've looked in the wide dock connection plug at the bottom of the iPod as another poster said that the connection pins might be bent, however, I can't see any actual pins, just a wide tongue in the middle, the same as on my other older iPod. Or do I need to open up the iPod and look for something in there?
Judging by the nr of comments and questions on similar issues here with the 5th generation video iPod, there should be a definitive fix for this problem, although, after looking through as much of the forums that might relate to this problem, no one seems to have come up with an explanation, let alone a solution for it.
So, my question remains, my iPod 5th generation video no longer connects with USB on my iBook, has anyone else (taking into account the above information), either had/have this problem and or found a resolution to it?
Cheers, Peter
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 5th generation video iPod

Dear deggie, hi, thanks for the tip as to what I should be looking for in the slot. However, sadly, it all looks to be fine (well, at least the same as my other iPod).
HR, thanks for the tip re opening the iPod, unfortunately, it is 15 months old, so well past the 12 month warranty expiry (ridiculous, isn't it?).
Here in Australia, we don't have access to Genius Bars and Apple Stores, just the local distributors, and they want $210 to repair/replace the iPod, which, frankly I find a bit rich, considering that it hasn't been mistreated in any way and the other iPod I have has been running fine for more than two years.
I get the feeling, judging by the many complaints on these forums regarding the problems that the gen 5 iPod being recognised and connecting to both Mac and Windows, that this cannot just be purely user error or maltreatment. However, I'm unsure as to what can be done to resolve them or get Apple to admit to there being a problem.
One of the things that confuses me, is that all the internal diagnostics (menu + select then select + back) including USB communication, all come back fine, when, as mentioned in an above post, it most patently is not. Anyone have any clues as to what this might be due to?
If, by some bizarre fluke, I manage to find a resolution to this problem (short of going and paying Apple $210), I'll post back here with it.
Again, thanks for the help, cheers, Peter

30gig 5th generation video ipod and windows vista

i've been reading alot of posts putting vista down in reguards to the video ipod . i just wanted to say that i have window's vista home premium and my first video ipod
30gig and i've not had a single problem related to vista.
any problems have been to me never having owned an ipod .
just thought i'd set the record straight for those who are thinking of getting a video ipod and already have vista .
you know , just fyi .
but i am wondering , how well does the ipod record notes ?
and anyone here in a band and tape their rehearsals ? was wondering how it sounds . thanks all !

after I watched them they dissappeared from my ipod,
Sounds like you have selected to only sync unwatched video content to your iPod.
This is a setting that you can change in your iTunes preferences.

ITunes does not recognize 5th Generation video iPod in WinXp

PROBLEM: 5G iPod not recognized in iTunes (shows as removable hard drive in My Computer) via USB on HP Pavilion Notebook running WinXP. Latest error states insufficient power to run hi speed USB device on this computer. HP support replies that installed USB should comply to 480 Mbps hi speed standard. Trying to connect iPod via firewire results in "iPod can not be connected with firewire" error. Have tried the following steps before reaching this point:
Description of iPod: 5G, 30 gig video iPod model MA002LL contains 1.2 gig data (282 songs, 4 videos, 0 pictures)
Action: 5G iPod worked fine until connected to download purchased music 3 weeks ago.
Result: iPod screen shows "Do not disconnect" iTunes does not recognize iPod.
Action: Reset iPod (iPod works fine when not connected to any computer).
Result: same as above
Action: Recharged iPod overnight with wall outlet to confirm full charge.
Result: same as above
Action: Tried to run iPod Updater but iPod was not recognized by Updater (it does recognize iPod Mini and 4G)
Result: same as above
Action: Reinstalled latest version of iTunes.
Result: same as above
Action: Reinstalled COM interface for IPod Service several times.
Result: same as above
Action: Ran repair maintenance on iTunes (repair successful).
Result: same as above
Action: Uninstalled iTunes and iPod software, deleted their folders and bin files and cleaned out Temp directory, disabled virus protection and disconnected from network. Ran Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. (Uninstall successful)
Result: same as above
Action: Restarted and reinstalled iTunes and iPod Updater
Result: same as above
Action: Diasabled all non critical items in start menu
Result: same as above
Action: Uninstalled all three USB controllers
Result: same as above
Action: Reinstalled USBs
Result: same as above
Action: Tried to connect by firewire
Result: Error this device cannot be connected by IEEEE use USB cable.
Action: Talked to HP support to confirm USB standards on Pavilion Notebook.
Result: USB should read all 3 standard data speeds up to hi speed 480 MBps
Action: Tried 5G iPod on 2 other PC desktops with WinXP with powered USB 2.0 ports
Result: iPod shows "Do not disconnect" iTunes does not recognize iPod and both computers respond with the following error (which is not received on the notebook) "insufficient power to run hi speed USB device on this computer" both Desktops are older than the Notebook and have older versions of USB 2.0.
Action: Tried it on my iMac G4 thinking I could reformat it. Mac understandably does not read it as a drive. I tried the following three connections:
1) Firewire connection: iPod screen shows: firewire connection is not supported; 2) Powered USB port connection: drive is not recognized by Mac and iPod screen shows do not disconnect; 3) Unpowered USB port connection returns an error of "USB Low power notice" on Mac monitor and iPod screen shows menu but won't connect to Mac.
QUESTIONS:
Has the 5G iPod reached a point where it now pulls too much power to be read by USB? Is HP not giving me correct specs regarding the performance of the Notebook's USB? Why can I update my iPods with firewire on my Mac but not the PC? Any suggestions regarding what I should try next?
Thanks.
HP Pavilion dv notebook Windows XP

Solution was found: HP was encountering a conflict with a trial version of Symantec Security Center and Norton Anti-Virus causing an incomplete install of iTunes.
The following actions resolved the problem. Uninstalled both Symantec applications, uninstalled QuickTime 6*, installed QuickTime 7.1.3 (iTunes would not install successfully prior to this step, seems redundant but worked), installed iTunes 7.1 (with Quicktime 7.1.3 again), connected iPod 5G which was finally recognized, received error that iPod was currupted, restored iPod and is now working fine.
I hope that this helps someone else with similar video iPod problems.

5th Generation Video Ipod Case

I am going to buy a video ipod but I don't want to purchase it without having a case for it. I looked all around and it seems that every case recieved bad reviews or that the good cases have not been released yet. What case should I get?

It depends what kind of case you want and what iPod you're getting.
If you're going for the black iPod video, I'd try a skin case or one of the new Belkin Leather Flip Cases (not released yet, I don't think)
If you're getting a white iPod, I can THOROUGHLY recommend the Invisible Shield from http://www.theinvisibleshield.com/ It gives excellent protection from any scratching and allows you to display your iPod as intended. The Invisible Shield is not particularly noticeable on the white iPod, but shows up quite intrusively on the black iPod. It does have its bad points - it's difficult to fit, but once it's on, you won't regret it. You can also use it along with the slip case that comes with the new iPods. Trust me, get it!

5th generation video ipod won't turn OFF

Everything else seems to work fine but I can't turn mine off. I tried to reset it but it won't reset either. All of the buttons work fine otherwise...even the pause/select button works.....unless I want to turn it off. Any ideas?

Pause the ipod, then let it sit. it should "turn off". however the ipod NEVER turnes off just sleeps. it will go in to a deep sleep after a few hours. just let it sit. also download the newest updater. 2006-10-01 try that out

1st time synch w/5th Generation video

I am the lucky recipient of a 5th generation video that was previously synched w/another computer. I am attempting to synch w/my imac and it is not recognizing it. I also have a 2nd generation that was used on the imac and when I plug the new 5th gen in, the ipod is giving me an error message of
"Fire Connections are not supported to transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided" Will the usb cable I have been using w/my 2nd gen - not work w/the newer 5th gen?

Transferring from where?
Biggest issue is file size. I only shot 2 min., but all email accounts say file is too large to send. Does this sound right?
How large is the file? This may be a limitation of your email provider.
If you're trying to take a video from your computer and add it to your iPod, you need to add it to iTunes first.

5th Generation 16gb IPod Touch screen unresponsive

I have a 5th Generation 16gb IPod touch and the screen became unresponsive just today. Just a couple minute after using it just fine, the screen became unresponsive to anything, not swiping, tapping, sliding... nothing. The screen turns on and off, and the Sleep/Wake button works. So does the home screeen. But i cant swipe to unlock it or swipe to turn it off.i did not drop it, get it wet, press to hard on it, i was holding it and taking a picture. then pressed the Sleep/Wake button and then turned it on a couple minutes later and the screen was unresponsive. I dont have any money to get a new one, and i dont have the warranty for it. i propbobly might take it to the apple store to get it checked out. one of my friends said that it has three layers a light layer and other one. she said the light layer got unwired or something and the apple store got it fixed. I cannot pay too much for it and definately will be getting a screenprotecter and cas e for it IFF it gets fixed. my other ipod had a similar problem, and i cant offord to lose another one.
Any help would be VERY appreaciated

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod 60 Gig 5th Generation - Video Play List Doesn't Work

Hi People,
I have a 60 Gig iPod Video that won't play my Video Playlists anymore. It acts like it wants to play but the next screen after I hit the play button looks like it is a song play list with the time bar with 0:00 at the left end and a -0:00 at the right end plus it has a 0 of 0 at the top left hand side.
This started when I upgraded iTunes to the new 7.02 version.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
I have already tried the 5 R's and no change.
Thanks

I have the same issue on my brand new Nano 5th Generation. I still have my I-Pod Classic and it works fine with that. I would love to have a solution for this so I can use my Bluetooth headphones with my new Nano.

TS1425 5th Generation Nano iPod. The iPod syncs on iTunes when I connect it to my MAC, but when I try to add a song from iTunes to the iPod, I receive the message "Cannot be synced, unknown error occurred (1039)

5th generation iPod Nano - iPod syncs with my iTunes and I can see it in iTunes, but when I try to move a song from my iTunes to the iPod I get an error message "Cannot by synced, Unknown error occurred (1039). System works fine with my 4th generation iPod Nano. I'm afraid to "RESET" my iPod because I may not be able to restore my music and videos afterwards.

Hello Ventanilla 97,
I agree with planb77 with recreating your itunes library. That will fix your issue. If you would like more step by step info go here:

Why use H.264 over straight MPEG 4 for video ipod?

I'm beginning to rip DVD's to play on my video ipod, as well as exporting
videos I've created in Final Cut Pro to play on the Ipod.
In short, can anyone provide a sort explanation as to why you'd pick
H.264 rather than straight mpeg 4 as the output format, if the only goal
is to play on the Video Ipod?
Is there an advantage of one over the other in either quality, creation time or file size?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

In short, can anyone provide a sort explanation as to why you'd pick
H.264
Higher quality in a smaller file.

Keep iPhone on Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start. This can take 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

Loading DVD's on 80 gig Video Ipod

We got a new 80 gig Video Ipod for christmas and want to load our DVD's. We tried down loading a software that didn't work. Can someone make recommendation of an easy software that works, and since I am not real computer savvy any detailed instruction would be appreciated.

There are plenty of good free programs out there. Here is a link to a discussion on just that free programs for mac and windows. http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=123067
You really do not need to pay for a program and if you do choose to do so consider another product then the one from that is recommended by Spammers... that would be cucosoft. They are all over these threads. There are also some great pay programs out there. But again, try the free ones first. Then if not do a search and you will find many, many pay programs out there from companies far more reliable then the one recommend by the SPAMMER on this thread.
Also another free program that works well is this one:
