I pod 80g classic not happy!

Just a bit anoyed . Just purchased my first i pod after reading up on it on apple website.
Problem arose when trying to play videos through my in car pioneer d3 player with ipod connection.
After reading manual on line, tried to turn tv out on as described ! wouldn't let me ! Spoke to retailer, they didn't have a clue.Spoke to apple they said had to be wired to apple cables. Gutted !!!
Spoke to pioneer they wern't aware of any problem as fifth generation has no problems playing.
Before buying i pod I checked to make sure on the website manual it had tv out facility. And in the description it says to turn tv out to on or ask then connect to tv. It doesn't say this wont be possible until connected through apple universal dock and cable which will not be compatible with any other accessories other than apple.
Surely apple should have made it very clear that 80g and 160g ipods have been locked out of tv out.
I purchased expensive in car system which boasted i pod and ipod video function
then bought what i was led to believe compatible i pod !
Thumbs down to apple for lack of communication with customers and retailers as neither off us knew of problem until purchased.
Best of it is retailer wont take back i pod because of scratches to back of case.
Any answers to getting over problem? can software be changed so tvout not locked out ?

If your iPod doesn't have engraving and you bought it from an Apple Store, you have 14 days to return it, but you can only get an exchange, and not a refund.
Otherwise, sell it on eBay or Craigslist and buy a 5th gen. The video out doesn't work like it used to because the video signal is no longer sent through the headphone jack.

  • Pictures on Ipod 80G Classic - not all showing

    I sync'd my ipod with my photos and only some are showing. I can see them in the split screen, but when drill in to see a picture or to have them randomly scroll I get a blank screen - Can anyone help?

    Aye - tried all the steps and suggestions listed in the document but no luck.
    Could this be an issue with the iPods battery?
    Otherwise I might have to get the nearest apple shop to look at it but i'd like to try all other possible avenues first.
    Many thanks,

  • 80G Classic Ipod Stuck in Reset Loop, Please Help

    Hello,
    My Ipod (80G classic) is stuck in the continuous reset loop showing only the apple logo. I have tried restoring it numerous times, to no avail. I have also tried uninstalling itunes and re-installing it, different versions also, this does not work either.
    This is very frustrating, and I am finding no help on the apple site. Any suggestions?

    I'm not clear if you've actually managed to get iTunes to restore the iPod yet. These steps should make it possible. Hold Menu+Select for about 6 seconds until the iPod resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Connect the iPod to your computer, closing iTunes if it opens. Browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors*. Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you should be able to start iTunes and complete the restore process. I'd suggest you don't rush to put back all your music in one go. Test that the iPod works with a smaller playlist first.

  • Forcing Ipod classic into disc mode, this helped me fix my 80g classic.

    Nobody had an answer for my 80g classic that couldnt be unmounted. I found on a blog somewhere that if you press Menu and the center key until the apple logo appears and then press the center key and play, it forces it into disc mode. Before I did this I couldnt even get it to erase in disc utilities. It wouldnt do anything. After I forced it into disc mode it let me erase everything in disc utilities and restore. ***** that this forum was no help at all.

    Its a software problem. I've been reading over the forums and noticed that a LOT of problems started around the same time, syncing problems ipods that aren't being recognized etc., I am not sure but on another thread it said to use a different software called WinAmp. I havent personally used it but others have to success, if i were you i would trade in that ipod for a zune to avoid this rather major software problem that is happening to a lot of ipod classics.

  • 80G Classic Battery Problem

    Has no-one but me had a problem with the 80g Classic battery running down at helter-skelter speed even when not in use and turned off?
    One day everything as normal, next day battery will hold power equivalent to the time to recharge it (kind of 1:1 ratio in and out).
    Problem is I don't know if it's a simple battery change solution or if something else has happened. Everything has been turned off, no extras, covers, etc and I've reset it about 20 times. Can a battery go from good to bad so suddenly? The thing is maybe 3 years old and it's had its fair share of use. Hooked up it runs as it always has, but as it stands its now basically non-portable. Don't really want to do a restore as many, many folders have been personalized and I can't see how this would work anyway.......
    Please advise if you can. If not cheers anyway and hope no-one gets the same problem.

    One option is something like Griffin Technologies "Tune Juice" ...
    http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/tunejuice2
    which takes 4xAAA batteries and is $30. You could then use rechargeable AAA batteries in it. Too bad it doesn't take AA batteries since rechargeable AA batteries tend to be easier to find I think. But there are other products out there like this one that will use standard batteries (9-volt, AA, & AAA usually) to hook up to and extend the battery life of an iPod. The advantage of these products is that in a pinch you can grab alkaline batteries at the airport gift shop or a local convenience store.
    Just make sure any you look at EXPLICITLY states it will work with the Classic line as the newer iPods tend to be fussy about older chargers and power sources since they make use of the data pins now as well to initiate power and charging vs. the older iPods that only needed to see the two power pins.

  • 80g classic disk still spins after shutdown

    I have the battery drain symptoms on my 80g classic that are mentioned here a couple of times (from a full charge to nothing in a few hours when switched off). Tonight after having to charge again before I could sync, I was playing some music and then held down play/pause to shut down. It did shut down - apparently anyway. For some reason I then put the back of the Ipod to my ear (having removed the ear phone first of course :-)) and was surprised to hear the disk still whirring away. Left it for a minute or so and it was still whirring away so decided to turn it on and off again. But it would not turn on - no change to disk, still spinning away! So did the reset procedure and it came alive eventually and the disk had now stopped. Tried a few times to recreate it without success.
    Now the battery drain only happens sometimes and I am guessing it is caused when the disk gets stuck spinning even though I have turned it off. Sooooooo, has anyone else noticed this? I am on 1.0.2 btw. Do I have a defective Ipod or is there something in the firmware that is causing this to happen apparently at random?

    Hello everybody,
    I've got the same problem. (hd spinning, battery draining). But it only occurs when I select a song using the coverflow menu.
    Everytime I want to open a menu or play a song I can hear the hd spinning but as soon as the iPod has gathered all the info it needs the hd will stop spinning, even when I am playing a song. Just before the hd stops spinning I can hear a clicking sound +(put your ear against your iPod)+
    I've noticed when I select a song using the 'playlist' or 'album' menu the hd will start spinning and after a few seconds I hear a little click and then the hd stops. Or when I press&hold the play button the iPod shuts down and the hd stops spinning.
    But when I select a song using the coverflow menu the hd starts spinnig and just like always I can hear the same little click but this time the hd will not stop. When I press&hold the play button the iPod will shut down but the hd keeps spinning. The only way the stop the hd is to go back to the coverflow menu or any other menu using the menu button. Then I can shut the iPod down by press&hold the play button.
    I've been listeng to my music using the album menu for a couple of days now and the stamina of the battery is just like it should be.
    So I think the battery draining is caused by the hd that keeps spinnig while listening to music or after shutdown.
    And the not stopping of the hd spinning (with my iPod anyway) is caused by the coverflow menu or everytime I select a song using the coverflow menu.
    beware coverflowbugs do excist and they feed on the energy of fully charged iPods

  • Anyone else's Brand New 80g Classic have a dicky wheel?

    I got a brand new 80g classic 2 weeks ago, and the wheel is just so unresponsive. sometimes its ok, but most times I really have to press hard to try and get my volume adjusted (and of course if you press to hard it becomes a button and skips to the next track)
    This is the kind of thing I would expect to happen after a good few months perhaps, and even then only occasionally, but straight out of the box I find this pretty annoying.
    So - as this happened to you, or have I just got a dud?!
    Thanks
    Hugh

    Hughey,
    I have the same issue with my 80gb Classic. I have a cover I use for the gym and the clear rubber/plastic covering of the wheel is JUST thick enough to stop me from useing it. I have to take the Ipod OUT of the cover just to adjust volume and change albums.
    Aside from that, I do get a little lag on the Ipod. Like you select a song and then you have to click the wheel a few times before you can adjust the volume, or you turn it on and it takes about 15 sections to scroll anywhere.
    Like the last poster suggested, make sure your firmware is up to date.. I think it should be 1.1.1 by now, something like that. It helped a LITTLE but the main issue with the Classics is all of the features Apple jammed into them. Although it's COOl to have Coverflow it's not usefull and things like that feature slow down the Ipod dramatically sometimes (click wheel!).
    You didn't get a dud, besides the fact that my click wheel can be frustrating at times the Ipod works GREAT, music, movies, everything is just fine. It's just something we have to deal with. I do sometimes miss my 30gb video, but I washed it on accident with my clothes so it died tragically .
    But like I said before, just keep waiting for new firmware updates and hopefully Apple will fix that issue to the best of their abilities as soon as possible.
    Hope this helped,
    Dom.

  • Not happy with moving around keys on the timeline

    I just changed from Final Cut to Premiere CS5.0 and I really like it. Working on a Macbook Pro i5 2.3GHZ, Mac OSX 10.7 But I am not happy with moving around on the timeline. I was used to using the up and down arrows to move to next video edit point, marker point or audio edit point. I tried everything to change it, highlighted the track etc. It only works together with the FN key, which is a bit uncomfortable. And then it definetely is not going to any audio edit points (very annoying!!!) and marker points (have to use Q and W keys). It makes me doubting if continuing with Premiere or not. Its such an esencial and easy to use tool while editing in a normal fast editing rythm. When I change it in the customize keyboard menu, into a Custom keyboard or FCP keyboard, it would ignore my changes on the arrowkeys, although it recognizes any other changes I do. Is it so complicate to change this issue in Premiere to how it is set in FCP? Its such an obvious tool, using the arow keys to move around, cannot beleive that we have to live with such a limitation. Please!!!

    Its such an obvious tool, using the arow keys to move around, cannot beleive that we have to live with such a limitation. Please!!!
    You dont have to live with that at all if you are fixed only to what you have previously done.
    It makes me doubting if continuing with Premiere or not.
    There ya go!

  • Ex-Uverse customer not happy with being a new Fios customer

    We just had our Fios Triple installed on Saturday 9/30/13. I was a very happy Uverse customer.  We moved to Verizon territory and we wanted something similar so we chose Verizon vs Direct TV and Charter Cable.  Verizon Fios is far inferior to my experience with AT&T Uverse. It wasn't just one person but the whole experience. I never called AT&T's customer service in the years we had it. We had no problems. I just got off the phone for the sixth time since our install and  it hasn't been a week yet. 
    Issue 1) Installer called at 8:30am to tell us he needs to come earlier than our 10am-3pm appointment. I explained we were moving and was signing the lease at 9am that is why we set a 10am-3pm appointment so we would have the key, TVs and phone in our place ready for the install. The installer said well he was scheduled for 2 appointments during that time frame so he doesn't know if he could make it at all if he doesn't come now. I told him it was ok to come after 3pm but please call and let us know since we are moving in. I thought about the situation and as a former dispatcher myself, I knew we shouldn't have gotten that call. I called customer service to let them know installer might not be able to show at all and gave them heads up. We got a call back from the installer telling us he will keep the set appointment time. He showed at 1pm
    Issue 2) The installer showed with a bad attitude. Our place was already set up for Fios. The previous resident had it installed so it shouldn't have been a hard job. He was complaining he needed to drill a hole to install the Router in the living room.  I told him no problem the hole can be covered with the TV and furniture. There was only one wall that the TV could go on so I asked what was the alternative outside of canceling the order. He placed a small hole next to the Verizon box so I wasn't sure what his issue was. It was obvious he didn't want to come to work that day. He took what I thought a long time to set up DVR, Set Top Box,router and phone. I tried hard not to compare AT&T installer to Verizon installer because people have different personalities. This installer wasn't friendly and AT&T went out of his way to tell us what he was doing, gave us feedback and walked us through all three. To put the icing on the cake, he left a nice sheet with our new phone number, att.net email, Uverse URL, wireless network connection name and key and if we had any questions in the next few days, we could call him directly since he was familiar with our set up. The Verizon installer went over the remote and left the channel line up brochure. He told us if you need the wireless network connection info for the devices,  the numbers are on the back of the modem. (Do you know how many numbers are on the back of the modem???) I know how to find the numbers but my husband didn't so I had to tell him which ones.
    Issue 3) After the install we went back to the old house and got more stuff to move. My husband said he wanted to record Homeland on Showtime can I do it from my phone like I did with Uverse. It took me 1 hour to figure it out because the website wasn't mobile so it wasn't working. I had to download 3 apps to figure out which one to use. I was so proud that I figured it out. It wasn't intuitive and it confirmed I had scheduled the recording. Monday morning I'm in front of the DVR to check my scheduled recordings. Homeland was there but didn't play. Called customer service..They said you have the Extreme HD. You need Ultimate HD. I told them I'm a customer and the names mean nothing to me. I wanted the package that had Showtime but didn't need HBO. When I placed the order originally, I told the sales agent I wanted a similar package to what we had with Uverse. I mentioned we watch Lifetime, Showtime, the Movie Channel and sports but we were going to suck it up that Uverse got Pac 12 channel last week and Fios doesn't have it. I pulled out the channel brochure and saw that there are no movie channels with the Extreme package. I think of 2 errors-1) Give us the channels we want and 2) Why was I able to appear to record from a channel we didn't subscribe to but I was made aware of the 3rd error when the new agent was confirming my order. The price for more channels was cheaper!!! Now I'm not happy at all!!!
    Issue 4) I had to look up the phone number on my account. It wasn't in the confirmation email order and of course I had to call customer service once again to get full access to my account online because the call never came through with my full access activation code. I got the code and went to set up my voice mail. I couldn't. I called customer service again and was told I didn't have a voice mail box set up on the server. I asked why. The tech said it wasn't on the order so we didn't now you wanted it. I asked is there an extra charge doesn't it come with Fios voice he said yes then I asked why isn't it just set up. He said how are we suppose to know you want it!!! I've been ordering landlines and cell phones since the 70's. I've never had to tell anyone I want voice mail. All I had to do was set it up.He said well I'll add it and it could take up to 24 hours before you can set it up. 
    Issue 5) I record Scandal and schedule to record on all types since we have HD in the living room and SD in the bedroom. We decide to watch half in the living room and the other half in the bedroom. You know the problem there.. CAN'T. I'm still frustrated with Verizon but haven't reached the boiling point until...I can't record  on Monday night The Voice and Dancing With the Stars at the same time at 8pm and Hostages and Black List at 10pm. I see 8pm shows recording as the same time as the 10pm because the networks end the shows at 10:01pm. I said well lets see if in the future one of the shows are on Video On Demand. Click on VOD and it says Temporarily Unavailable. SERIOUSLY!!!! I call customer service. I get a tech. He transfers me to a sales agent to make sure I have VOD in my package. She gets an ear full  of my problems and gives me a $20 discount per month for 12 months. I didn't boil over..Still frustrated but appreciated that finally someone tried to make me happy. She transfers me to tech to fix DVR issues and VOD. Tech can't fix SD/HD or recording my 4 Monday night shows. The DVR has limitations that I didn't have with Uverse. VERIZON -time to get up to speed and fast with your DVR limitations. It can be solved with allowing more recordings at the same time...DUH!! You guessed it..Video on Demand was never set up for our account. It will take up to 24 hours to add this service that even comes with the basic Fios!!! I asked the tech how does this happen! When an order is placed isn't there a check list to make sure all the features are activated. He said yes but the agent didn't order VOD. Now to me that makes no sense for the agent to have to order set up for something that comes with a package. It should be a part of the check list.
    Verizon..All I can say is, you guys have got to get this together. There needs to be a customer complaint hotline because I now get to tell everyone on this forum and all my social media accounts how poor your set up for new customers and how your DVR service is lacking. I asked during each call if there was a general customer relations department for Fios one agent said yes and gave me the number to Verizon Wireless customer relations...oops!! I happen to be a wireless customer and they got an ear full and apologized for your incompetence. They didn't have a number and got off the phone embarrassed that they shared the same name.

    I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten

    1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
    2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi.

  • How do I change the background colour on notes. I need a darker background due to a visual issue. Apple has now discriminated those with visual issues.  I am so not happy with many of the new changes because of this.

    I am so not happy with the new changes especially when it come to the ability to change background colours, fonts and font sizes/ colours... Does Apple really think that their only audience is the young cool crowd or people who do not have a visual impairment.  Think before you make changes to your software and programs.  You WILL lose more people to androids if you continue this way.
    At least give users the ability to make apps like notes their owned by allowing them to pick the style, theme, background and colour, font size and colour. 
    A very ****** off Apple user who is now looking at Androids.

    Hi Tricia,
    I'm sorry but I don't see an ideal way to do this. Is it the yellow label text, e.g:  "New" against the white background which is causing the difficulty?
    The only way I've found of getting the colors to change in Notes is via Settings>General>Accessibility>Invert Colors but then it looks like something has barfed all over your screen.
    I'd be very, very surprised if Apple do not fix this, firstly because I believe "Accessibility" is a legal matter and secondly because they will not want to cause difficulty for their customers.  We have to remember that this is a major, major overhaul of iOS, it has essentially been taken back to the drawing board and done from scratch again, it may take a little time, but I'm sure they will fix these issues.
    Regards,
    Steve

    That's because it's not a playlist.  It's a device.  Mine shows two devices simultaneously because they're configured for wireless sync.

  • Re: not happy with layout of components

    I have written the front end of a banking application.
    The problem is I am not happy with how the components are positioned.
    Any suggestion?
    I am using gridlayout(7,2)
