FIXING UP IPOD VIDEO....QUESTIONS

Is there a way for me to send my ipod to apple and they will fix it up. What I mean by that is can they get rid of the scratches on my screen etc. And about how much would this cost?

  • My ipod video question

    alright its kind of long to get ready for it
    i went to canada 2 weeks ago and i left my ipod in my parents car overnight so then when i touch my screen it cracks and if i turn off the backlight there no problem but if u turn it on its all messed up but u can see a little of the screen so then i decide not to buy a new one so then a week later my girlfriend takes my ipod and listens to it and puts it in her purse which had magnets on the handle and i didnt know so then i get my ipod back and it doesnt work
    so i got to go to the ipod store and get it fixed but do u think they will believe me because they will be like u broke it on purpose to get a new one.
    the question is do u think they will give me a new ipod or will they just reject me?
    just a note i still have the 1 year warrenty

    Is your question on the level? Cracked screens have been often deemed abuse and outside the replacement policy. You'll never know until you make a service request and send it in.

  • I would like to know how to fix an ipod video gen 1 that is displaying a skull everytime I try to turn it on

    I have a problem with my ipod video gen 3(classic) I try over and over again to turn it on, try charging it and it does nothing. It just display a skull. What can it be?

    It certainly looks like an iPod Classic, and frankly, I didn't know they could be modified. Well, strictly speaking, it can because it does have an operating system - software that makes it work.
    Anyway, while you wait to see if anyone more knowledgeable has an opinion about the skull, have you tried restoring the iPod. That's done by connecting it to your iTunes and using the Restore button that's on the Device/Summary pane. Have a search through the iPod Classic forum for Restore for more information.
    By the way, all the links that I looked at concerning the skull (on the top right of this thread) are for the iPod Touch. But, as I said...

  • IPod video question...

    Hi people. I am looking forward in buying a 30GB MP3 player after a week and my tight choices came down on a Zune and an iPod video. I did a lot of research on both, including going to Apple's Tech Specs of the iPod video. It said there, that you must have a 2.0 version of your USB in order to connect the iPod to your PC. Will it work on a USB 1.1? I am afraid that it might not work or something might happen to the firmware of the iPod if I'll connect it to my PC. BTW, I had this PC 5 years ago, and I'm afraid that it's USB might be a version 1.1 and it might mess up the iPod. I've seen this issue on a Zune Board and saw that a Zune supports USB 1.1.
    Second, I want your honest opinion. What is much better? iPod video or Zune? Thanks to those who will share thoughts with this one.

    USB 1.1 won't hurt anything. People seem to get it to
    work, sort of. It will just be slooow. I suspect it
    will slow with a Zune, too.
    I don't really expect you'll get an unbiased opinion
    here regarding the relative merits of Zunes and
    iPods. They both have pluses and minuses. For
    example, you can't change the screen background on an
    iPod but you can't use a Zune as an external hard
    drive (at least not with out third party hacks). And
    if you want to use a subscription music service, an
    iPod is not going to be for you (unless, like me, you
    by a second mp3 player, in my case a Sansa 260, for
    that purpose). In the end, it's not a life or death
    decision. Both will play music. I really like my
    iPods, back to the first generation. I will admit to
    a certain anti-Bill outlook, as well.
    Hey, Meg_St.Clair, thanks for the information. You totally convinced me to buy an iPod instead of a Zune. Well, the Zune might have FM and Zune-to-Zune sharing, but I was totally turned down by the fact that it cannot be an external hard drive.
    Thanks for informing me, anyway. I'd still choose function over functionality.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Upgrading iPod Click Wheel (4th Gen) Version --- iPod Video Question

    I have a two year old iPod that has no colour and a click wheel. For Christmas, i'm thinking about upgrading to an iPod video. I have over 500 songs and videos on iTunes, although i cannot play videos on my current iPod, and i was wondering..
    If i get a new iPod video, is there any way to keep all of my old songs currently on my library and put them on my iPod video?

    yes.. just plug in the new ipod to your computer and it will sync whats on your library to your new ipod.

  • ATTENTION! POSSIBLE FIX FOR iPod VIDEO PROBLEMS

    For all of you out there who may be experiencing INSANE problems with your new iPod, this may help. We had a ton of issues with a brand new 60g iPod tonight, Christmas present blah blah blah same as everyone that has questions here. Anyhow, after hours and much cursing and my eyelid twitch going mad, we got the dang thing to work! I am drawing the assumption that this thing was shipped screwed up and a restore MUST be done in order for it to work. (All the freezey, sad faced, file with an exclamation point, stuck screens, everything, we went through ALL of that!!!) BUT we had to use the old October version of the iPod updater that comes on the CD NOT the newest one available for DL from November. The November version gave us disk write errors and a resotre could not be done. Also, the iPod went into "disc mode" before we were able to restore it and apparently you can do this yourself (ours did automatically, don't ask me how) There was a link somewhere in this mess about it, you'll have to search on it I suppose. Anyhow, it really was f-ed up right out of the box, it would eject itself while in the middle of song transfers and then there would be nothing on the iPod, then it froze, then... well, it's been hours so I'll spare you the rest. It's working splendid now, so try a restore with the OLD version of iPod updater and good luck to you all. Merry Christmas.

    I hear ya loud and clear, an hour after I posted ours did the same thing again.... Does it comfort you to know you're not the only one? Oh, and don't think it's your computer, we have two and it does the same bs on both. :0(

  • How do you contact Apple in the UK to fix my ipod?

  • Questions about ipod video

    hi, im going to buy an ipod video, but i just need to be sure its good...i just have a question to every1 that had 1, is it good/worth buying?
    and for how long can you watch movies on it till the batterie ends?

    If you want a system that can hold all your CD's, listen to audiobooks on, download podcasts of the latest news, carry your family pictures and display them with music on a TV, and have the ability to watch your DVD's or downloaded movies on, then the video Ipod is right for you.
    If you want a mp3 player that will NOT get scratched up if you stick it in your pocket, want a mp3 player that you can do extreme exercising with, or want to be able to load DVD's on it without taking the time to experiment and tweak the programs necessary to do it, the the video ipod is NOT for you.

  • Place to fix iPod video screen bleeding?

    Hi. I had dropped my iPod video, which resulted in the screen bleeding. I called up Apple, but it wasn't covered under the warranty. Does anyone know of a website or store that would be able to fix this? Thanks.

  • Ipod video and movie question?????

    i get my movies from limewire and mp3 direct...can someone tell me how to change the frame rate of the video...from what i understand the frame rate has to be at least 29 to 30 frames per second.. to make the sound sync with the movie..how can i do this and should i do this before or after i convert the movie file with videora???

    I had the same issue, however I used this program to transfer ...avi,mpg,wma..etc...;
    http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
    If the program is used the converted files will be in a folder called;
    C:\Program Files\videoraipodConverter\vodeos
    I'm pasting this from the Videora site, the settings worked for me when others didn't, enjoy:
    Configuring videora converter
    0) Start Videora iPod converter.
    1) Click setup in the left nav.
    1.5) Click the profiles tab.
    2) Click new profile.
    3) Now, configure that profile:
    profile name: ipod
    in the video settings section...
    mode: MPEG-4 > CBR
    resolution: 320x240
    passes: one
    bitrate: 768 kbps (384 kbps also works)
    framerate: 29.97 fps
    in the audio settings section...
    bitrate: 128 kbps
    sample rate: Input
    channels: stereo
    4) Click apply to save the profile.
    Now, you're ready to transcode.
    1) Click convert on the left nav.
    2) Click the transcode new video button.
    3) Pick your source video. Mine was an AVI from a torrent.
    4) Under quality profile, choose "ipod", the profile you created using the steps above.
    5) Click start.
    Now you're ready to get the video on your ipod
    1) In iTunes, under the File menu, select add file to library. Find the transcoded one. By default, the transcoded videos pop out under the Videora install directory.
    2) Drag and drop to your ipod.
    Questions/observations:
    1) I haven't been able to get H264 anything to work. Is it broken? How much smaller than MPEG4 is it?
    2) 768 kbps video was about 400 megs/hour; 384 kbps video was about 231 megs/hour. I could readily see a difference in video quality.

  • Trouble with a new iPod video (and a question)

    My new iPod video is causing my computer to freeze when I connect it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. After that, it seemed to be going OK, but it only downloaded about 500m (of a total of 50g) before iTunes froze again and stopped downloading (of course the "Do Not Disconnect" icon on the iPod stayed there, but I had no choice but to disconnect it!).
    All of my music is on an external Seagate hard drive coming in through one of my USB inputs. The iPod is on the other USB input. Could this be part of the problem? I don't think it's a drive letter issue since it did start downloading the last time before freezing.
    Also, I'm wondering if I can use my old firewire cable from my previous iPod to speed up the transfer process once I actually get the thing working.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

  • IPod Video Storage Question

    I have an older 30 GB iPod Video (called the Classic now, I think?). I keep only music on it, and while I've long since outgrown the storage capacity, I like to keep it as full as possible.
    I understand that I only have about 28 GB of usable space, but when I sync my music I'm also showing about 1.8 GB of "Other". What is this? Since only music is set to sync the only thing I can think of is album artwork. I feel like there's a way to disallow album art from syncing, but I can't seem to find it.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hello KeenerKat,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The Other section could apply to any Notes, files you may have stored on the iPod (if you have it enabled as an external hard disc), album artwork as you noted, and lastly, some of it is decidicated to the iPod's O/S or software. So basically, there will always be space occupied by this section on your iPod.
    If you feel as though the amount of space occupied by the Other section is unusually large (in the GB's) then I would recommend restoring the iPod via iTunes. Of course, much of this space in your case may be applied or due to the album artwork stored on the iPod.
    If you have upgraded to iTunes 9, then the option to not include album artwork is no longer available. No word on if it will ever be returned either. You could suggest getting it back to Apple through the link below.

  • Ipod Video and External Battery Question

    If I am not in the correct forum, tell me. I got the 30 Gig Ipod Video. I am curious about an external battery pack that uses AA batteries to extend the battery life of the Ipod Video. I saw the Belkin but many said they had an overheating problem when using that one. I assume it must be designed for 5th gen. I had one for my mini and it worked great. My assumption is that the one that worked on the mini will not work on the Ipod Video. Any suggestions for one that works well???
    Ipod Video 30 gig   Windows XP  

    I keep all my videos on an external hardrive (to save space on my computer's hardrive) and now that I want to transfer my videos to the video iPod, I don't know how to do it without copying the videos to the computer's. Same goes for buying videos on iTunes. Can someone help me with this, please?
    One possibility is to simply let iTunes use the external drive as its primary storage device. (I.e., store your "Music" folder externally on the external HD.) To do this, go to the "Advanced" Preference tab and reset the storage location. (Not sure if current material will automatically be copied to the new location or if you have to do this manually.) Would assume you can then use the expanded storage area for iPod compatible files, archive "master" material to CD/DVD, and delete unwanted masters from the HD. If you are using the auto-sync mode, you can then use the active "Library" to control what is sync'd. Further, you can then delete material from the "library" but elect to leave the file(s) stored in the "Music" folder rather than "trashing" them (i.e., keep them stored on the external drive as sort of an "archive") if/when you no longer want it sync'd to your iPod and restore it later to iTunes when/if needed again.

  • Planning to get the ipod video but before I do 1 question?

    Is there a way to put your own movies on the ipod video or can you only have the music videos that come off itunes?

    Try Nero 6. Nero Recode DVD and Videos to Nero Digital. Make sure you change the Nero Digital Profile to PORTABLE. You can set the audio to 112K, and set video to automatic. After saving in your folder, just click and drag to your iPod. Voila!
