Thank you for your reply . The folder I am synching to is located on my desktop . I have tried to synch to the same folder from the my documents folder and from the my pictures folder . I read / watched the info you suggested . Is it possible that my problem is itunes does not have 'write' access to the folder I am synching to ? How would I enable write access to the folder . I do not see the option in the folder properties menu . I noticed the folder is identified as read only in the properties menu . also i have noticed that the ipod photo cache folder created in the photos folder contains multiple folders , some of which contain ithmb files and a photo database file .

30gb Ipod video on/off problem

For some strange reason my ipod does not want to turn off. I can let the battery die out and then charge it and then use it again, but if i wanted to simply turn it off after i stop using it. doesn't work. my play button works fine, pauses and continues playing fine, but when i hold the play button down, nothing happens. Anyone heard of this happening or know how to fix it?

Yes, iTunes is up to date, and has been installed properly -no problems at all.
There was (and is) no cell phone around my iPod. The volume didn't change on its own - but for me it was a bit loud, so I wanted to change the limit, so that I wouldn't go too far..and then this problem happened. There were I think about 200 photos, and they were uploaded through iTunes (this volume limit problem was there before I uploaded the photos though.) And I am manually uploading songs - I always did, on my old iPod too, since I go between 2 computers.

Earlier Issue with 30Gb Ipod Video

Hey, I have a 5th generation 30Gb Ipod video. I recently went out and bought a new 2.0 USB port for a PCI slot for my Ipod since I only had a 1.1 before that.
Well my problem is, I had it plugged in last night and it had the do not disconnect screen on the ipod for about an hour, so I pulled it out without ejecting it, and later on it said that windows said that the device was not able to be identified and was malfunction try unplugging it and plugging it back in, I did that and it still would work, so I restarted my PC and got it to work, then about a hour later I was uploading some photos and it gave me the same message, so I just turned off my PC and went to bed as it was getting late.
This morning when I woke up I thought maybe it was just the port so I unplugged and plugged it back into a different 2.0 port since I got 4 with that card I bought, I then left for school and came back to find that my Ipod is working like nothing happened since I changed it's port.
I just want to know if I should pull out that warrenty card and get a new one or if that message was just because the one port could recognize something was there, but not able to tell what device it is.

I recently purchased a 30gb ipod video .I would like to put photos onto it but have been unable to do so . I have synched my ipod to the folder containing the pictures I wish to transfer , watched the various indicator screens appear as itunes goes through the process of resizing the images but at the end of the process itunes always returns the error message " Ipod ' name of ipod ' could not be updated . The specified folder could not be found. " I am quite frustrated . The folder is synched and on my desktop . I am running windows xp on a pc . I have tried to transfer photos after allowing disk usage to no success . I have searched the internet and read many forum postings on ilounge and found no remedy . Hoping I will find help here . - Newbie101

30GB iPod Video Prevents ASUS A7N8X-X Mobo from Completing POST

Greetings,
I've owned my iPod for about a week now, but it seems to have a little bit of an issue with nForce 2 based ASUS A7N8X-X motherboards, specifically in regards to the fact that if the iPod is connected to the PC during boot, the motherboard will not complete its POST and the boot is aborted. Where the POST aborts isn't consistent, but the majority of the time, it will abort on or before the CPU diagnostic. If I disconnect the iPod and then reset the system, the motherboard completes its POST as it normally would.
I was wondering if there were any other users who have experienced this. I have the current generation 30GB iPod Video and I'm using the dock cable that was included in the package.
Thanks.

Anything to do with this?

30GB iPod Video battery Issue?

I have noticed a problem with my 30GB iPod Video recently. I've had it for about 1 and a half years now with no problems until now.
I think the battery may be on its last legs as it seems to discharge a lot sooner than it used to (i.e. fully charged Monday, by Wednesday its displaying "very low bat warning" upon sync - and that's with hardly any use!). Even on the Apple Support site (here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60970) there's a page stating that it should take up to 2 weeks to discharge! This has happened the last 3 times i've synced and charged it!
Is this a sign that the battery is on its way to battery heaven (or ****)?

The symptoms do match a bad battery. Also, from what I've seen on the forum, a year-and-a-half is about normal (obviously depending on usage).

30GB iPod Video Screen Replacement

I have a fifth generation 30GB iPod Video and it's really scratched up.
It's weird because it was in a hard case and they both got scratched, but it's like it was with sandpaper...well that doesn't matter.
Ok, so it's scratched a was on eBay looking at iPod accesories (cheaper there) and there were these iPod screen replacements that came with a tool and manual too. It's $15 so I was gonna get it but does anyone know if that's just junk and if it will mess up my iPod because now I can only watch videos when I'm in a dim room. It's really annoying and I need someone's help. Thanks! ^_^

no, i never broke my LCD screen but i had a friend that broke her nano and she sent it here and got it back with no problems..just a new LCD screen!

Contemplating purchase of 30GB iPod Video. Opinions?

Let me start off by saying that I'm not happy with Apple at the moment. My iPod mini just died on me after only 1 year of useage and Apple refused to help me out in any way because the warranty was 2 WEEKS past due. As a customer and lifelong advocate of the Apple brand, this really angers me. Especially since all in all I've spent over $15,000 on apple products.
Anyways... with that aside I need something else. And if I could sync another player with iTunes the way i can with an iPod I wouldn't even consider one. But I can't. So here I am.
I just want some opinions on the new 30GB iPod video from people who actually own one. Both good and bad. Let me hear it all. I couldn't bear plunking down over $400 for another player that's just going to quit on me in 1 year.
Thanks for your help.

I've only had mine for a month, but it's still working perfectly.
There's a couple things I've found dissappointing about it.
First off, while I've found the video quality to be good, the battery life when watching videos is absurdly low. 2 hours of watching videos will completely drain the battery. 2 hours. So there's a good number of movies out there that you couldn't watch all the way through.
Plus, while it's nice that you can download TV shows, like The Office, through iTunes, just watching a few of them will drain the battery significantly. Kind of lame that the new video feature is so weak in this regard. Though I bought it mostly for music, so it's not that big of a deal to me.
Secondly, I find it unbelieveable that the thing doesn't come with a AC charger that you can plug into a wall socket. Yeah, it'll charge through your computers USB port, but if you want the ability to charge it through a standard outlet you have to buy the charger seperately for $25. Pretty lame if you ask me.

Only certain purchased videos locking up 30GB iPod video

What causes certain videos to lock up my 30GB iPod video, but not others? All the videos I have are either purchased or free podcast downloads; All from iTunes.
I transfer the files all the same way to my iPod, by clicking and dragging the file to my iPod in iTunes.
Some play all the way through without an issue.
Some start at the beginning and then lock up after 10 or 15 seconds and I have to reset my iPod because it won't let me do anything else.
Others start playing right in the middle of the video and then after playing for about 10 or 15 second, it locks up and I have to reset my iPod because it won't let me do anything else.
I performed the 5 R's, no luck. I checked out and compared the file properties between one of the files that plays and one of the ones that don't. They're identical.
I'm bummed because I'm paying for videos that I have to watch on my PC, not on my iPod. So what might be causing this problem?
HP 1.9GHz Intel Pentium 4 Windows XP 30GB iPod video with software version 1.2 and iTunes version 7.0.1

I have the same problem; at least there's more than one out there. One of the videos I downloaded eventually began to work (I'm not sure why) but it kept freezing up and the audio had horrible static. (When I played it on the computer through the ipod, it worked fine.)
I cannot find an article on this site that explains what to do about that problem and apparently you can't simply send an email to a tech support center to ask about it. I guess I'll have to bring it to a store...

Best Photo Recovery App for Ipod video?

Hi.... what should be the best app recovery tool out there that is compatible with iPod video?

If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option you don't need a 3rd party program. Enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer", open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
Disk Use.
As for other programs, I don't know if this is the "best", but it's one I've used successfully before.

TRANSFER PHOTOS FROM CAMERA TO IPOD VIDEO

Does anyone know if there is a device that is compatible with iPod 80gb Video, to enable the use of the iPod Video as a hard drive to capture photos (files) directly from the camera. I have a Sony A100 DSLR. Going on a trip and would like to use the disk space available on my iPod. Belkin has one that is only for 3rd Generation iPods.

I'm having a similar issue. You can find compatible cameras and info http://www.apple.com/ipod/compatibility/cameraconnector.html/
and check the online manual for your iPod. Section 4
You might have to contact Sony to see if it's compatible. I bought a connector (from the Apple Store) iPod to USB that connects with my camera's dock (I have a Casio Exilim 850) but I can't get it to work with either of my two card readers, even though it says in the manual that it will. If you know which card readers are compatible PLEASE let me know.
Good luck

Viewing photos on a 30gb iPod

I have loaded 35 full res photos onto my 5G 30gb iPod . It shows that there are 50.6mb of photos on the Summary tab, but when I disconnect my iPod, I can't actually view them on the iPod - all I get in the Photos menu are the options for slideshow, etc. The photos are in jpeg format, so I can;t see why I can;t view them. I've been through the discussions, but can't see the answer I need. Help?!?
