Info on what format plays on new ipods

I have to buy a new ipod and I wanted to know if it was worth buying the one where you can watch movies or tv shows. I assume you have to buy them and if so where,and about how much do they cost. Is there a big varity of shows and movies to download to the ipod. Also what format does the ipod need. I am an editor and I have some home movies can I transfer these on the ipod to show people. If so what resolution size and format. Thanks for you help. It does not explain on the apple website how it plays these movies and tv shows.

Seeing what is playing on your ipod in the apple hi-fi on my mac

Hi is there any software that allows you to see what is playing on your ipod that is docked in the ipod hi-fi. can you change the songs from my mac.
the ipod hi-fi is the other side of the room to the mac
Please help

You can connect your Mac with an airport express (wireless) and then plug the airport express with your iPod HiFi (either optical or analogue). You can play the music from the iTunes with your Mac (without using the iPod).

My podcasts what format for use with iPod

I have my own website www.chumlordfishing.com and I do instructional podcasts, so far every podcast needs to be converted in iTunes to play on my and others iPods. What format will allow the podcasts to be played without needing to be converted. Additionally, they don't show up in my iPod under podcasts once converted. They show up under videos.
Thanks for the help!!!

Intel processor in you MB Pro? Need it to capture avchd.
regarding file size and the need for external drive:
"AVCHD output files are about 120Mb per minute of footage. The converted output file will be about four times the size of the input. This is because AVCHD is a highly compressed HD format and we are uncompressing it into a Quicktime-friendly high definition format. Our example 1 minute AVCHD clip becomes about 500Mb in size, after conversion.
The final size of a converted clip has a lot to do with the amount of movement in the clip. A lot of movement will mean a larger file. Action clips can be as high as 7 times the size of the raw clips."

Music will not play on new iPod touch (5th gen.)

Some music will not play on my brand new (5th gen.) iPod touch. I see a "play" arrow blinking next to the battery icon. Any clues on what the problem is?

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music amd resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

ITunes purchases will not play on new iPod

I have purchased a new 60 gb video iPod to replace the one I just lost on the freeway (motorcycle). My last one played
my iTunes purchases fine, but my new one will not. They are skipped over. I see the song name but then it skips to the next song. My regular mp3s play fine.
I have an Audible account through iTunes and my Audible purchases play fine. I tried
(http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303854):
* Restoring and updating the OS in my iPod
* Deauthorize and reauthorize my account in iTunes.
* Recreate the iTunes Library
I also tried this from the page (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1770668??)
The iPod sometimes forgets it is authorized to play the songs.
If this happens;
1 - Quit iTunes
2 - Restart iTunes
3 - Open the iTMS and log in
4 - Play a purchased song
5 - Resync the iPod)
Can someone please help me? I have purchased many songs in iTunes and I'd like to play them. One thing in that last solution mentions playing a purchased song while logged into the store. Does that mean through my "Purchased" area or somewhere else?
Finally, since my iPod serial number is registered under the same apple ID as my iTunes account, why can't it check that way?
Thanks!

I meant to mention that I bought a new song from iTunes since getting the new iPod hooked up as a 'test' and it will not play either. I thought possibly the older purchases were associated with the other player...
Thanks

How to change format to my new ipod?

I used to have a ipod mini hooked up to my G5. Now i just got the new ipod and cant seem to change the format from windows to mac. I havent started up itunes with it yet, but i already have the new itunes so i dont no how to do it. Can someone help me?

Here is something to consider. If you format it for windows you will have the ability to hook it up to a PC or Mac. You can use it to transfer data from a PC to Mac and Mac to PC.
If you format it for mac you will only be able to hook it up to a mac.
The reason for this is a mac can mount both a PC formatted and Mac formatted disk while a PC can only mount a PC formatted disk.

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?

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

What to buy a new iPod touch, what about the bought apps?

I am thinking about changing my iPod touch first generation to a new one.
Can I transfer all my apps to the new item or do I have to buy them again?
Who has experience here?

i've just done this. you just need to make sure you backup your old ipod touch first, then when you plug in your new ipod touch, rather than setting it up as new, restore it to the backup. as previously pointed out, as long as everything is in your itunes library on your computer it will just replace it all and your new ipod will look just like the old one.

HT1665 I have a 2007 Griffin Amplifi dock that does not accomodate my brand new iPod Touch. Does Apple make an adaptor that I could use to play my new ipod on the old Griffin dock?

Does Apple make an adaptor that would enable me to play my 5th generation iPod touch on my 2007 griffin Amplifi dock

Or this one

What good is a NEW iPod shuffle that doesn't work?!

Has Apple fixed the problem regarding the shuffles not be a recognized driver?
I cannot believe that a company as huge as Apple, has not problem-solved and found an answer for people who purchased it's product.
I feel very frustrated, and my 3 kids -- all waiting for me to get their iPods working, are annoyed.
Thank you, Apple.

I trashed mine (iGB Shuffle) after many days spent. My shuffle just stop working one day. I tried everything from Apple website suggested 10 times at least. Still no good. I am an Information System professional. I deal with this kind of problems daily. But we all rely on the manufacturer to provide helps. AFter 90 days, you have to pay to be able to 'chat' online with support. I bought new Toshiba Gigabeat. Cheaper and 'IT WORKS'. So return the products and get your money back buy something else. good Luck!!!

Playing video on ipod

I put a movie in my library then transferred it to my ipod. It shows up in the library and on my ipod. It plays in the library but not on the ipod. Help please

i have a similar problem...
got a new 120Gig ipod last month... decided to import some of my music videos into itunes so that i can watch them in my pod... some of the mpegs are on CDs i own... some mpegs were free downloads from the artist web sites... mostly old song... the mpgs imported and play in itunes, but i get an error message that they "cannot be played on this ipod"...
i was under the impression the new ipods would play anything that itunes plays... it would seem that these are in some kind of file formats that itunes will play but the ipod doesn't...
are your files "mpeg" extensions or something else?
if we can find the specifics about that the ipod supports, we might figure it out... i didn't see the details in the ipod manual... did a search but didn't find the info yet on apple's web site...
does anyone know where to find the FAQ for the file formats that these new ipods support?
thanks-

Itunes won't sync to my brand new ipod classic. It says "The Ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found.

I have been onto Apple by phone, and into the Apple store where both of them recomended that it gets replaced. I did, got a brand new ipod classic, and i still have the same problem.
I have attempted to restore, but it won't let me for the same reason.
On a couple of occations it starts to sync!! however it goes through practicly the whole syncing process (12,000 songs, heaps of videos) and then just freezes up! The little rainbow orb spins forever until i have to force quit.
I have had my old ipod and my partners ipod regestered and used on the one itunes with no complications whatsoever, our old ipods sync perfectly with no problems at all.
very frustrated.
Is it my Ipod Box?
Or is it Itunes?
or does it not like me having more than two ipods registered?
with the last new ipod which was replaced and the current new ipod that's a total of 4 ipods regestered on the one itunes
My partner has a Dell Laptop with Microsoft. I downloaded Itunes on there, ripped one cd, formatted the current new ipod, and it synced the one cd i ripped with no trouble at all.
Has anyone else had the same problem with their Ipod Classic?
Mick

Is iTunes up to date (10.7)? Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB or using a different USB cable?
I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread to check your Hard Drive's health. He always covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

If you restore the new iPod Touch from a backup of your older one, then yes, you should be able to retain all your App info.
When you connect the new iPod Touch to iTunes, it should prompt you about restoring the iPod from a previous backup.
See this article for more information on restoring your iPod from a backup.

Transferring old data to new iPod -- will it remove new apps that come with my new one?

My old iPod Touch is a 2nd generation, IOS 4.2.1, and I now have an iPod Touch 4th generation arriving with either IOS 5 or 6.
I want to transfer my game apps progress -- which I don't want to lose!! -- from the old device to the new device, and I've found out from these discussions that I need to make a backup then restore from backup to the new device, treating it not as a new device.
But does this mean that all the new-to-me app features that come pre-loaded on my 4th generation will be wiped out in the process?
Obviously the 4th generation comes with things my 2nd generation never had, and needless to say I want those to still be there when I add all my old games and other apps.
Can anyone assure me that in the "restore from backup" to my new device, everything from my old iPod will be added to my new one, but won't replace and or wipe out of existence any new features already loaded on my new iPod?
My priorities/worries are:
Not losing any game progress in the transfer,
But also not losing any newer factory-loaded apps or features on the newer iPod, in the transfer.
Thanks for any assistance.

Thank you lllaass, this is reassuring!
So the "restore" adds to what's on the new iPod, not throws it all out/replaces -- good to know. Many thanks.
