Ipod 30gb display divided in two!

Hi, recently the display of my ipod sometimes divides in two where the lower half seems to be a frozen picture of what I saw when this happened. And the upper half is still alive but the picture jumps around. I have to reboot the ipod maybe 2-10 times to make it go back but then it happens again after a couple of minutes.. really annoying. The ipod is about a year old.
Sorry for explaining it kinda bad but anyone else who had the same problem?

Hi, just need to add that the display seems to have changed to a lower color-rate! Maybe 256 colors instead of 16bit or whatever is beeing standard.
I Can also say that when I reboot it half the screens is just a blur and the other half is the normal apple-logo. Please!

  • Ongoing iPod 30GB Problem

    I am currently on my third 30GB iPod with color display. I have had an ongoing problem with them since I got my first one in mid June of last year, after 'X' period of time listening to music (varies from weeks to many months) the iPod will begin to not play songs and just skip to the next song on the playlist until the playlist is done. It will also be unable to turn off.
    Restarting the iPod will help for a short period of time before a final restart where the iPod will display a "sad Ipod icon." At this point my computer will not recognize the iPod and it will die completely. I to to continue sending my iPods back to Apple and receiving new ones, however I was wondering what may be causing this problem. Any ideas?

  • Pictures or menus are cutting in a middle of screen in Ipod 30Gb??

    When I have charging the upload vs 7.00 of Apple site, before buy it, my Ipod 30Gb show the sceen with a slow lateral move toward left? Imposible to see pictures normally, because there are cutting in two parts;
    I reload it completly, but the problem is the same.
    What can I do now?

    I know you've reloaded all the content completely onto your iPod again, but does this include a restore?

  • My ipod is displaying the itunes logo and a usb cord.  I've tried reseting it but I can't get it so do anything!

    My ipod is displaying the itunes logo and a usb cord.  I've tried resetting it but it didn't work.  Any suggestions?

    Your in DFU mood do this:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    Follow these steps to perform a recovery-mode restore on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    You may need to perform a recovery-mode restore if you experience any of the following situations on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device:
    Displays the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar for over ten minutes.
    Restarts but never displays the Home screen.
    Is no longer recognized in iTunes after an update or restore did not complete.
    Automatically goes into recovery mode after having an issue while installing an update or performing a regular restore.
    How to perform a recovery-mode restore
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is already showing the "Connect to iTunes" screen, please go to step 5.
    Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
    Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
    iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
    "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you see the Connect to iTunes screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps if you're using a Mac, or these steps for Windows computers.
    Additional Information
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup.

  • Podcasts on iPod 30GB, not showing up in iTunes

    A long time ago, I downloaded some Podcasts onto my iPod 30GB Video. The Podcasts do not show up in the Podcast directory on the iPod, but rather in the Artists directory. When I go into iTunes (latest version), the podcasts do not show up anywhere. I want to delete them because they take up a lot of memory, but since I cannot find them, how can I delete them?
    Thanks!
    Casey

    I have essentially the same problem with my 120GB iPod. Managing from iTunes 9 in XP, some of the podcasts that I add end up in the podcast section of the iPod and some don't. When they don't, the only way I can access them is by searching for their title. They don't show up as "music" "audiobooks" or "podcasts"--they just don't exist until I search for them. In iTunes they do not show up at all. I have no way to delete them and listening to them is a big pain.
    This has happened under two different sets of circumstances: (1) adding a downloaded mp3 to my library and manually defining it as a podcast and (2) manually adding a podcast link and dragging over the file once it downloaded. Obviously, I have sync disabled and manually manage everything.
    This is a strange problem and I'm not optimistic that a solution exists. If one does, I'd be anxious to hear about it.

  • Ipod 30gb turns off automatically when battery is about half

    Hello,
    I have been testing my new ipod 30gb for a few days to see how much time I can let it play until thebattery dies. However, the last two times i did that (out of three trials)the ipod turn off automatically when the battery reached about half.
    My 'hold' button was on so I could not have touched it by accident and I left the ipod on my desk and no one touched it.
    Has anyone experienced this before or would anyone know what is happening?
    thanks a lot,

    Please, please, let us all know if this works. I for one have yet to find anyone who has this problem that has fixed it (and, apple, there seems to be quite a few of us, JUST RECENTLY).
    dying for a cure.
    First, as I stated, the "cure" for an old battery is to buy a new one. Many people have had faulty batteries replaced for free by Apple - if the health is low (<80%) and the cycle count is <300, that's a faulty battery that is likely eligible for replacement. Personally, I had one like that replaced for free (after my one year warranty was up, but within the 2 year battery warranty extension). Second, perhaps this is happening "just recently" because the MBPs have been out for a while now, and people's batteries (just like the people themselves) are getting older. Batteries have a finite life and a finite number of charge cycles they can take before they become unreliable - that's just the basic chemistry of a Li-based rechargeable battery. Third, if you're addressing your comment to Apple, this is not the place for that - go to the appropriate Apple feedback page instead.

  • IPod 30GB will not work with 3rd party USB 2.0 PCI card

    I've had an IOGear PCI USB 2.0 card (GIC220U-BIO) in my Sawtooth for some time now, and have been using it flawlessly with my Canon i860 printer, and Canon LiDE 30 Scanner.
    Just recently I received a Video iPod (30GB) and wanted to take advantage the high speed USB bus offered on that card to sync my iPod. The problem is, when I plug in the iPod to the USB port on that card, I get the transparent gray box telling me that I need to restart my mac by pushing the reset switch, or holding the power button for several seconds (in other words, freezes).
    The iPod works fine with the built-in USB ports (albeit slow), as well as the high speed port on my iBook G4. Why am I getting this error? There are no drivers or firmware updates for this PCI card available.
    Is there a solution?

    Yes, use a different USB 2.0 PCI card, like from Sonnet. I use a Sonnet in a G5 and it works great. There are (at least) 2 USB chipsets and I find the TI ones are great and the other not so great.
    The fact it works on 1.1 and the 2.0 on the G4 at least tells you it is not the iPod and a USB 2 card is $20 or $30 at the most.

  • I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years and the apps have worked fine in the past. Suddenly the apps will not launch, they appear to start then just exit. Is there a reason why it is doing this?

     I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years pretty much and the apps have worked fine. Suddenly when I go on an app it appears to launch then just exits. I tried turning the iPod off and on again, but that made all my apps behave like that. Settings and those things work fine still. Should this suddenly happen? I dont want to lose all 204 apps.

    - First try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try downloading/installing a new app
    - Restore from backup
    - Last, resore to factory defaults/new iPod.  this is last result since you will lose app data.

    I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email.  I have since assigned two different emails.  How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

    By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
    If so, you can change it.
    1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
    2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
    3. Log in with a different ID.

  • IPod 30GB Problems with iTunes 9; Will not sync iPod and freezes iTunes

    Since I have updated to iTunes 9 on windows xp (and more recently iTunes 9.0.1) I have not been able to sync my 5th generation iPod 30gb.
    What happens when I connect my ipod is that iTunes will instantly freeze and not allow me to do anything on it, but I am able to open other windows just not iTunes. After about 10 minutes iTunes will unfreeze briefly and claim to be syncing my iPod. Eventually after a further 10 minutes I am greeted with a message saying:
    "The ipod 'HARRY'S iPOD" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-50)."
    http://tinypic.com/r/2wchbgy/4
    Also when I try to access my iPod through the window's explorer, when I try to enter any files I get the message "Please insert a disc into drive F:" followed by "F:\ Photos is not accesible. The parameter is incorrect"
    I have no problems synicng my iPod Nano 4th Generation 16gb.
    I've tried to revert to iTunes 8 after uninstalling iTunes 9 but when I do it wont let me open it saying it cannot read the file "Itunes Library.lib"
    Does anyone have a clue where the problem is? And better still how to fix it?
    Thanks
