Does ipod classic & itunes read or see ANSI unicode for the ID3v2 text

I am batch converting a bunch of flac files to mp3 for my ipod with the ID3v2 text encoding ANSI, for the most compatibility with mp3 players, will my ipod & itunes see these albums? will they show up on my ipod?

I use normal English, with an occasional "&" ampersand symbol, and other symbols;
: ; " , [ ] ( )? some song titles may have an accent mark but that is about it.
I had my batch converter in unicode before & switched to ANSI in another forum they told me to try ANSI because I could not get my mother's sandisk sansa mp3 player to see the albums I put on it, even though they showed up when looking in windows with the mp3 player hooked to my PC. But when I tried to see the albums after I unplugged the player from the computer, they did not show up.

Are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

I have an iPod Touch 2 with iOS 4.2.1. This is the highest version that works on this device. I checked it once and it had to do with iOS 4.3 and above only supporting the higher RAM CPUs on newer devices.
Apple does make it harder than it needs to be. There still remain a number of apps available on iTunes that will work but they are hard to find because you must manually look at each app specs to see if the app supports an iOS below 4.3
App backups are your friend since iTunes has no way to keep older version of apps.

Does iPod Classic 6th Gen support a headphone remote for pausing/playing, adjusting volume, and advancing the track?

I know that the 7th Gen does support this feature, and my iPod video (5th Gen) does not.

The listing for Apple's EarPods
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD827LL/A/apple-earpods-with-remote-and-mic
under Compatibility, shows it supporting back to "iPod classic 120GB (2008)."
The official list of iPods does not actually name iPods after the 5th gen model by a "gen" name, but if you look at the list
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
it is clear which one "iPod classic 120GB (2008)" refers to. There is an earlier "iPod classic" ("6th gen") model from 2007 that is apparently NOT supported by the EarPods. But it's possible that Apple's older headphones with remote control works with it.

New 160Gb ipod classic will not be see in in Itunes V11.3.1(2)

I bought a new 160Gb Ipod classic. I bought it because my previous 2, older ipod classics, stopped syncing. One day they worked the next they didnt. I swear this happened after an Itunes update too. Anyway, I took one to Tekserve (local Apple service provider) and they told me one of the pins in the ipod i brought to them was damaged so the connection couldnt be made. I didnt really buy the answer, but since the ipod was older i figured, ok, I'll get a new one. Well I just got a new one. opened up the box, took out a new USB cord, plugged it into my computer and boom, NOTHING. The computer recognizes it in the Finder (MAC OS 10.6.8). Then again the MAC recognized my other 'broken' ipods too, Itunes just doesnt.
So I had hunch before this this problem has to be a software bug. Now its confirmed. There is no way a brand new ipod should not be seen in Itunes. Trust me i tried all the normal 'Ipod doesnt sync support stuff' and it doesnt solve the problem. This is an advanced problem and one that i need real answer on. Does an ipod classic work with Itunes V11.3.1(2) running on a MAC 10.6.8 OS? Ipod classics still cost $250 which is ridiculous since the technology is 5 years old, so if Apple stopped supporting them on the new Itunes without making that know I think there should be some serious press about this!
Please help.

Well I finally figured out the problem, not thanks to anyone from Apple for that matter. You would asume this problem has happened before and is still happening. The problem was I couldn't copy certain songs anymore from iTunes to my iPod Classic. When trying to copy certain songs I got an error.
If you have this problem it means your song file is corrupted. You can simply check this by trying to copy it from your hard drive to an external hard drive. Here you will also get an error message.
This means you need to replace all the corrupted files by a back up on your hard drive or download it again. I did this and now everything works fine.
Hope this will solve a lot of problems.

Repeat One!... developers of apple iPod and iTunes read this!

It’s not an issue I think anyone can help me with but I hope the developers of apple iPod and iTunes read this.
I am a full supporter and user of both iTunes and iPod…. But some things have always bugged me. :P
Repeat one
Can you please, for everyone’s sake, fix the repeat one function? Yes, when the ipod gets to the end of the song I want it to repeat the song ones more. But when I select next (>>) I’m sick of the song and wound like the next one. But instead it just starts over on the same track.
Today I have to click menu, scroll down and select play on the next song to move forward… meaning I actually have to take the iPod out of my pocket and see what I’m doing.
iTunes music library.
Another thing which would have been practical in these holiday times would be a separate music library function for iTunes. In other words be able to select, load and save different library for different usages.
Why you say?....
1.I don’t need my holyday Christmas songs clogging up my library in the summer.
2.When I do sound work for animations I like to have my sound FX and background music outside of my music list.
3.Some people are, (believe it or not), ashamed of some of their music and would like to store theme where no one can se them. Say I invite the boys over for some iron maiden and they end up finding my backstreet boys album. (yikes)
4.Say you have some very privet videos or sound books you don’t want your kids to here or see.
5.When I need background music for some tabletop role-playing I wand them in a separate list as well.
6.ETC
And before you say it… NO… play lists, and do not include in shuffle isn’t the solution…. neither is users. Have you even seen how terrible Microsoft user system works? (Yes I know get a MAC, but you can’t always play that card.)
This function really shouldn’t be difficult to make since you have the “iTunes Library.itl” file already.
This is just my opinion so fare, but if anyone agrees or disagrees; Pleas post a reply.
It’s all in good fun… As I said, I love my iPod and iTunes except for these issues. (Well I could talk about volume but… naaa, enough badgering for one night :P)

Does ipod classic support HD tv shows?

Does ipod classic support HD tv shows? When I try to sync a HD TV show, I get a message saying that my device does not support this type of video. Any suggestions?

It would seem the error message should have given you the answer already. The iPod classic does not support HD.

My Ipod classic has started to play mono only through the headphones. I have tried different headphones with the same outcome. Is the device repairable or better to upgrade?

Hey Grimeymouse,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPod classic is only playing sound in mono when using multiple headphones.
Since you've likely isolated this behavior to the iPod by trying multiple headphones, see this advice from the "The headphones don't work" section of the iPod troubleshooting basics and service FAQ:
If the issue appears to be with the iPod, try resetting it. If that doesn't work, then restore iPod with the latest iPod software using iTunes 7 or later.
All the best,
Jeremy

I have ipod classic 5gen it will not sync with windows the error message says ipod can not sync as required file missing wht to do???

i have ipod classic 5gen it will not sync with windows the error message says ipod can not sync as required file missing wht to do???

Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

I synced my Ipod to itunes now i can only double click the icons on the screen it seems that the swiping feature has been disabled, how do I get it back to normal? I've restored it but nothing has changed

I synced my Ipod to itunes now I can only double tap the icons on the screen, it seems that the swipeing feature has somehow been disabled, Is there a way i could fix it or get it back to normal?

Hi there,
It sounds like you may have an accessibility feature called VoiceOver enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information on how to use VoiceOver as well as how to disable it.

You have to do it on the Apple TV itself while it's plugged into a TV so that you can see its screen.

HT1920 The e-mail address that I used to add songs to my ipod in iTunes no longer exists. Most of the 2,600 songs were downloaded from CD's. Is there a way to access the itunes account?

The e-mail address that I used to add songs to my ipod in iTunes no longer exists. Most of the 2,600 songs were downloaded from CD's. Is there a way to access the itunes account?

Only downloads from iTunes will be tied to that iTunes account, unless you subscribed to iTunes Match and uploaded the other songs from your computer to it. If you can't remember the account's password then you could try seeing if you can get reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com
If that doesn't work then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
When you've got access to the account you can update the primary email address on it to be one that you still have access to : http://appleid.apple.com
If you don't have the music that wasn't downloaded from iTunes on a backup then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from your iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

The only way to fix this, is if you use a manual proxy configuration in Firefox. So all 100 + uni iMac's can only use Safari as I would need to do a profile push to all 300 students and I am unsure what file carries the proxy information.

TS1424 Bought and Album and one song is missing after itunes froze cant see how to dowload the missing song as it says Purchased

Bought and Album and one song is missing after itunes froze cant see how to dowload the missing song as it says Purchased
Pls Help Best and Kind Regards

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if it shows under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunee. If it shows there but doesn't have the clpud symbol against it for redownloading then is that track listed in the Music part of your library i.e. where you would click on it to play it ? If it is then delete it from there and it should then get the cloud symbol against it in Purchased.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com . iTunes Support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours.
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Does anyone know if they carry the speck see thru covers for the power book

I'm just curious if anyone knows of anywhere that they have the speck see thru covers for the power book G4. I recently purchased one for my daughters macbook and it really looks cool. I figure that the answer is no because of the age of the power book, but it ever hurts to ask! I have searched on EBAY and came up with nothing!

If Speck ever did make Powerbook shells, they don't any more.
