Ipod 60gb Video No Music!!!!!!!!!!

Hi I have plugged my ipod into my computer and from once the bar showing the capicity of music and files has turned solid orange showing only other files, when i browse into my ipod it shows no music or videos yet my ipods memory is still used up as much when i used to have music and video etc, is it possible i can recover the music and video? http://img115.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ipoderxo2.png
^^^^as you can see most of the ipods capicity is used by "other" files which once used to be a mixture of "music" and "video" anyway i can getb the music and video back???
Help will be appreciated:D
ps.i have not backed up my musci and video

Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

New ipod 60gb video and monster icar transmitter?

In short.. you can't use those accessories with the 5th Gen iPod.

Ipod mistakes video for music after you leave it connected to pc

When i leave my 80gb ipod connected to the pc for some time (3 to 4 hours) it somehow mistakes all video in it for music and even new videos copied onto it get lost immediatly after i discoodect. Reset doesn't cure this, only restoring factory settings in itunes helps. It is extremely irritating to have to copy everything back to ipod every time this happens. Does anybody else experience the same problem?

i leave mine connected in all night so it charges for me to use in the morning.

Ipod 60gb Video spontaneous reset

I got a very disturbing problem with my ipod video 60gb that when playing videos it soft-resets suddenly with no reason
it happens if connected to a Tv or ipod connector , i turned EQ off , with tunes purchased videos as well as YouTube and DVD Converted videos.
All started after the ugly update itunes 7.0 and ipod update 1.2 , eventhough with itunes 7.0.2 and firmware 1.2.1
I have an empty podcast directory that i know that caused problems at Nano version , but not sure on this.
Any idea ???

I have had the same problem with mine. I bought the 60gb Ipod Video from a friend of mine and I know it was working before cause I used it several times before purchasing it from him. After buying it I obviously installed itunes and ipod updater and updated itunes to latest version and also updated the ipod to the latest firmware.
Now my ipod whenever I start a video it plays for about 60 seconds and then Spontaneously Reboots. It does it every time without fail, I cannot get it to play longer than about a minute without it rebooting.
I know the files are fine virus free files as I used software I am very very familiar with to convert the dvd movies myself to MP4 compatible for Ipod video.
I don't have anything else on the ipod other than about a half dozen video's but I know it is not the file itself as I have wiped everything off it but 1 movie and still does the same thing, even if I wipe that movie off and put another different one on there. I have tried movies my friend had saved on his computer that had been on the ipod previously before I wiped it clean when purchasing it from him and they too did the same thing which is weird knowing that they worked before I updated the firmware and installed the itunes on my computer to transfer files to it.
I really hope someone can help me with this. Even if I need to pay someone to fix it I JUST NEED IT TO WORK. I would prefer to be able to have someone tell me how to fix it or if i have to have someone else fix then I would prefer to take somewhere locally but will mail somewhere if necessary.
PLEASE HELP ME.

Ipod 60gb video faulty headphone socket!

hi,
Ive had an ipod video for a few years now but recently the headphone socket has become faulty. when you put headphones in i just get sound in the left ear,if you press the headphones into the socet then i sometimes get stereo again.
ive tried 5 pairs of headphones aswell as pluging it into my stero, its definitely a problem with the ipod connection. Any ideas/sugestions, my waranty is finished.
thanks
Sam

There's not much you can do about that, unfortunately. It is a physical problem with the connection wearing out.
You can probably get a decent price on eBay (for you iPod) if you carefully describe it as an otherwise working iPod. Most iPods are broken for the hard drive becoming faulty, so the potential buyers can use it to fix their iPods. Conversely, if you buy an iPod that appears to be broken due to the hard drive, you can swap the bad hard drive with your iPod's drive and get a working iPod.

IPod 60gb Video sitting on 0 play time on tracks :(

hi guys, not sure if you can help with a issue I've been having for some time.
every now and then I've had a issue when you select a track to play or select shuffle it will load the track title and cd cover but sit on 0 track time not moving, nor playing.
You can navigate the menus fine select another track but the same thing applies.. according to the symbol its playing and not on pause.. pausing and unpausing doesn't help nor does seeking through the track,
at which point it will just sit at the time you have seeked to.
Press menu and select and do a reset and then all is ok,
until the next time.
The ipod has been carefully looked after, and safely cased barely touched my human hands
Thanks for any info.

Major Ipod (60GB VIDEO) problem

I've just bought my first Ipod and I'm really disappointed.I installed Itunes and the ipod software,updated it and got my songs.After like 30 minutes and I don't know how and why my pod freezed in LOCK mode,I can't do anything on it,I disconnected it from the pc,tried all solving issues techniques like gettin hold and unhold 4 times then after pressing MENU and middle button for 6~10secs.Also restored 2 times,reinstalled the software,pressed just hold and menu with the left point finger for 6~10secs and It's still locked.Right now i connected it on the pc and It's saying Do not disconnect.
I would really aprecciate feedback since I got this pod for like an hour.

Welcome
After the iPod has finished sync with iTunes and other applications(cal,address book,contacts) it can be disconnected by unmounting it.
To unmount click the eject icon next to the iPod in the iTunes source list. You can the disconnect.

Error 1418 after ipod 60GB vid skipped then froze competely.

My ipod 60GB video started to skip tracks, then froze completely. I tried the resetting and this helped to get normal screen back but minus all my music. Next I tried restoring but it came up with above error message. I seem now to have tried everything - I've updated newest version of itunes, I've also tried by downloading to version that came with CD. I have tried connecting iPod to a different USB port, I have re-register .dll files as described in article #304996, I have reinstall Windows USB drivers... The only thing I haven't been able to try is the suggesting of someones to connect to ipon and whilst new version of firmware is installing, 'safely removing hardware' in task bar and removing then reinstalling ipod. I'm struggling with this final suggestion as when I start up itunes, it doesn't come up with the message about a new version of firmware over 1.2' etc... and if it did, I can't see where the task bar is.
I am soooo missing my ipod - If anyone can help (itunes support couldn't - they just emailed me above suggestions) I would love them forever!!!! My computer is over 5 years old- could it me that?

This just happened to my 30GB Ipod. Any advice?

Can't sync game with 60GB Video iPod

This morning I purchased Phase for my iPod. (5thG 60GB Video) And I can not sync this game to my iPod. I get the error {The game "Phase" was not copied to the iPod "mcarrolls iPod" because you are not authorized to play it on this computer.} I normally don't sync my music, just manually add content to my iPod, But I checked Sync Games in my iPod tab and I get the error. Then I went as far as to snyc my entire library, deleting hours of ipod formatted video I encoded myself from my ipod, but still wasn't able to get the game to sync. I decided to try a restore, since my iPod was practically empty, still no luck. I purchased an album in iTunes and am able to both sync, and manually add that purchased album to my ipod. Now I have an empty iPod and still can't get my purchased game on to my iPod. Any help?

Hey mcarroll, how did you get Phase to sync onto your iPod? The same problem occurred with me actually so i probably have to do the same as you did. So, in other words, how did you actually authorize DRM software to be eligible to be synced onto your iPod? Where did you go in settings/preferences that eventually granted you the ability to sync "Phase" onto your iPod? Thanks for letting me know!

Ipod won't play music or video, other than that it works fine

My ipod 60gb 5.5 gen wont play music or video. I took it to an unexperienced ipod repair centeer and they couldn't figure it out. I took it to an apple store and they said that it was probably the hard drive but weren't sure. I can use this ipod as a hard drive. It will store and transfer files at full capacity. It also will auto scroll through pictures. If the hard drive had malfuntioned then wouldn't I have trouble using it as a removable hard drive? When I select a song to play, it shows album art work but remains at 0:00. I have restored it. When I did a diagnostic run, it didn't show the hard drive in the options for testing. I can repair my ipod myself. I'm talented but I need to know what part to buy first.
Help!

When you go to Settings>General>About, how much is Available?

Video and audio not sync when i play all forms of video. from music videos, to tv shows. but they play perfect on my iPod. and tv shows display out of order on iPod, but in correct order on iTunes/computer. I even ran a virus check just to make sure.

audio and video do not syncronize. all forms of videos. music videos to tv shows. what do i need to do the syncronize them again
they are in sync on iPod, but not on computer.
another issue that might be from the same cause is, the order of episodes of the tv shows i have downloaded, they appear in order on computer, but on iPod they show out of order.
any tips on how to fix this would very much help.
thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
An old version of iTunes will cause this and mess up the videos on your iPod. Always make sure you always use an up-to-date version of iTunes.
Make sure all the software on your computer is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
You will then need to restore the iPod and then let iTunes update your iPod and put your music, videos, etc. back onto your iPod...

Can't restore iPod classic 60GB video. Cannot Allocate Memory - Disk Utility

Sorry if this has been asked before but I've been searching the boards and am yet to find a result.
I have an old iPod classic 60GB (video) which has a dodgy HDD. It was clicking and in a constant sad face/charging loop. I've managed to get it display "Please restore iPod" message and it is now being recognised by my macbook. I've tried to restore it via iTunes but when I try that I get an error message tht says "The iPod could not be restores because it is busy".
I've tried toformat the iPod using Disk Utility too but i get an error:
Disk Erase failed with the error:
POSIX reports: The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory
The oddest thing is that under disk utility my iPod drive is showing up as a 2TB drive:
All I'm realy trying to do is restore the iPod so I can try to recover some of the tracks using Disk Drill. Can anybody help?

See if you can find a window based PC and try to do a Restore there.
