Hosting videos for ipod touch/iphone

I have created my family's website with iWeb and am using my Webserver folder to host the site. Everything runs great but I have put a bunch of family video on the site (converted with iTunes) with the intention of being viewed on my iPod touch away from home. The videos work fine on my home computer and at work. I don't want to take up space on my 8 Gb Touch and I thought hosting the videos on my website would be an easy work around.
My iPod Touch simply gives me a quicktime symbol with a slash through the play button when I navigate to the webpage. I've also tried iMovie and exported them as mpeg-4 and a few other Quicktime formats but none of them will work.
Do I need to configure something with Apache to allow the Touch to view these videos? If I am converting the videos with iTunes shouldn't they just play when I navigate to my webpage?

What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

ITunes fails when trying to convert videos for iPod Touch

I have loaded videos taken from digital cameras (Fuji and Canon) into iTunes (latest version) and I can view them using the QuickTime reader (also latest version). Before syncing them to my iPod 4th gen, I go to advanced options and click on Convert for iPod or Iphone. After 1 or 2 seconds, iTunes craps out with what looks a protection exception. (iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for...)
When I click to find out more details, the Error signatures says Appname iTunes.exe, AppVer: 10.1.0.54 Mod Name: coreaudiotoolbox.dll ModVer: 7.9.4.0 Offset: 000b2f84.
I rebooted with same result. The same problem occured many times, with iPod connected or not and using different videos. I tried to download the test video from the Apple site, but nothing happens when trying to download.
I am on Windows XP, SP3, fully patched.
Thanks for helping.

OK. Problem solved.
I removed all Apple software using Add/remove software in Control Panel.
Rebooted.
Used Advanced System Care (free edition) to scan and fix the registry. There were over 200 problems related to iTunes or QuickTime in the registry.
Downloaded a fresh copy of Itunes.
Re-installed.
I can now convert videos to Ipod.
Hope this can help others having similar problems.

Component to Composite Video for Ipod touch

I have a 8gb ipod touch and i have the composite cables for my old ipod so i can watch videos on my tv. I've read that the touch needs the new composite cables and i don't have a hdtv to support that. Is there any converter i can buy to make this work or will i need to invest in a hdtv.

I'm pretty sure composite cable will work with composite cables. There are two cables that apple does sell anyway

HeyWire for iPod Touch / iPhone

A long time ago i installed the HeyWire free texting app on my iPhone and iPod Touch. It has since been removed from my iTouch but after i tried to install it again, i keep getting this message that says that this # is already associated with this iPod. I have no clue what the password is - and don't have access to my e-mail to be able to retrieve the password hint or whatever they send.
Is there another way i can somehow delete all the data and the fact that there is already a number established with this iPod, or is there another way i can create a new number for this iPod to use it again? Thanks a bunch!

No sound when convert video for iPod Touch

I have videos that I recorded with my digital camera and when I "convert for iPod" the resulting video has no sound in iTunes or when I put it on my iPod.
Any ideas to what is wrong?

The file you are converting is muxed(audio and video are one track).
Quicktime is used by iTunes to do the conversions and quicktime does not like muxed files-so you get only video. Another possibility is that the audio is a weird codec that quicktime does not recognize.
Use a different transcoder-such as mpeg streamclip recommended above. I use it, it works very well. It has iPod presets.

Tap Tap Revenge on iPod Touch/iPhone

Anyone downloaded a game application called Tap Tap Revenge? It's for iPod Touch/iPhone with the 2.0 software upgrade. I browsed through the iTune's Application Store today and found this game. It looks awesome, but when I tried to purchase it for free, it said it was no longer available. I even tried closing/reopening iTuns and tried to download the application, but it was still no good. Anyone who downloaded this game before it's availability was gone, mind uploading it for me and for other people who are in need of this awesome application? I don't want to wait until Apple fixes it. I want to play now. D:
I'll really appreciate it. Thanks~

It wasnt working for me this afternoon and just downloaded it to try to kill some time and it works!

What format for video in Ipod touch?

What format do I need to convert my movies to so I can copy them from Itunes to Ipod touch? They are all there in video section of Itunes, but when I try and sync them to Ipod, it tells me they aren't supported my Ipod. Any thoughts?
JP

From the apple web site:
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Probably doesn't help you, but there are many video converters out there that have ipod touch / iphone profiles, etc, that will chose the right settings for you. A quick google should help

Can't install iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch

I am trying to download the iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch from http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/whatsnew.html so I can download apps for my new iPod touch. (Although it is pretty bogus that I should have to pay $10 for an upgrade on a brand new device so that I have the privilege to buy apps). I have iTunes 7.7 already installed.
When I click on the link https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLandingPage , I do not get a download, and iTunes does not open. Nothing happens if I open iTunes before trying this link either.
Instead, I get a brief page which says "One Momemt Please". Connecting to the iTunes Store. Loading... If iTunes doen't open, click the iTunes application in your Doc or Windows Task Bar" , then my browser is redirected to http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/?itmsUrl=itmss%3A%2F%2Fphobos.ap ple.com%2FWebObjects%2FMZFinance.woa%2Fwa%2FtouchLandingPage%3Fign-mscache%3D1 which tells me to download iTunes... but I already have iTunes installed.
I installed (then uninstalled, reinstalled) the latest iTunes (7.7.0.43) and the problem persists. iTunes works fine for all other uses.
I have the problem with both Firefox (3.0) and Internet Explorer (6)
How can I download and install The iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch directly from iTunes? I cannot find it when I search for it. It is not listed in the App store.
(P.S. The web support form does not work when I tried to fill out a problem report for "Connection" issues. Although I filled in all form fields, it would not send the report, telling me I did not fill in a field.)

The upgrade now appears directly in iTunes, so I do not need to access it from the web page. I see many others are encountering problems installing the upgrade, so I'll see how it goes...
There is no answer to the initial problem that iTunes install does not configure the browsers to handle the itmss:// protocol.
I still think Apple should not charge for this for a brand new iPod purchased just this week.

How can i purchase iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch 2G ?

My Local iTune Store (Thailand) don't have iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch.
How can i purchase iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch 2G ?

What they have written to you is wrong.
That download was available at all the online stores: if you looked at the main page of the Thai app store at the time it was released (and for a couple of weeks after) it clearly displayed a 3.0 update advertisement. I was able to update a 3G iPhone and a first generation iPod touch using my account on the Thai app store.
Are you accessing the iTunes store, using iTunes (or the Thai online store at http://store.apple.com/th)? It is the one using iTunes that you need.
What you need to do to download this, is to connect your iPod touch to the computer (your details do not say which computer or OS you use) and in the iTunes panel that opens, there is a button to check for updates (although the update may appear by itself). If this still reports that it is unavilable, let me know and I will ask someone.
You will not be able to change your account, but there is nothing to prevent you setting up a new account in the US as long as (for purchasing) you use a US credit card.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up. You can't use the FIndMyiPhone app on the iPod since the app requires iOS 7
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

QTConversion settings for export of HD video to iPod Touch

Captured using Canon HV30.
Sequence properties show 1440x1080. Anamorphic is NOT checked.
Export to a regular QT Movie and it plays with the correct aspect ration in QT player.
However, export using QTConversion to the iPhone setting (same screen size as iPod touch) and it's in 4:3 "stretched" mode. This happens when I play it back in QT player AND on iPod touch.
What settings do I need to use in QT Conversion to get HD 1440x1080 to export with correct aspect ratio in iPod Touch / iPhone?
Thanks,
Billy

OK, I settled on 480x272 and the aspect ratio looks good now.

Does anyone make a water-tight, fully submergible, case for iPod Touches? I am looking for one that could be taken into a pool or ocean, so that you could take underwater pictures. Thank you!

Does anyone know if anyone makes a waterproof, fully submergible case for iPod Touches, 4th Generation? I am looking for one that can be taken into a pool or ocean, where I would be able to take underwater pictures or videos. I've tried numerous web sites, including "Otter Box", but have been unable to find one for the iPod Touch. I believe there might be one out for iPhones, but can't find one for an iPod Touch. Thank you for any help.

I found this review...

Unfortunately, it sappears that the cameras are covered by the cases. I'm look too as I'm starting SCUBA lessons.
