IPod Classic 80G wont take movie rentals ???

Just downloaded three rental movies ok to my PC. They ar ein my library ok now but Classic 80g iPod did not synch them nor could i manually drop them anywhere. Any ideas ??? It claims lates revsw of iTunes and firmware. Everythung else synchs fine but this is my first rental movie try.

The 5th gen iPod "classic" was the first "video" iPod. It's video capability is more limited, and supported video resolution is lower, typically only 320x240. Even if the video is standard def (SD), and not HD, it is probably at least 640x480.
Also, current iTunes Store video content (such as TV shows and movies) uses DRM (copy protection). The 5th gen iPod was designed before the iTunes Store started selling video content (as it does now); I don't think it supports the DRM technology.
If you have video content that is not DRM'd and plays in iTunes (such as video podcasts), you may be able to use the convert command in iTunes. Select the item on a list in iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar
File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
That version may play on your iPod, so iTunes will sync it.

Loading cd collection onto ipod classic 80g

ihave 700cds to load onto ipod classic 80G via itunes but my computer only has room for approx250.Can i delete those 250 from my itunes folder and start again?how do i load them all?

To load them all you would have to buy an external hard drive to move some other things over from your computer or just have the music files on the hard drive. If you can only have 250 of them then here is what to try.
Import the first 250, then have the ipod on manually manage music etc... Drag and drop all the 250 CDs content to the iPod.
After done copying delete the files for the first 250 and then put the next set on and repeat copying them to the ipod, repeat this until all 700 CDs are on iPod.

How come my ipod classic 80gb wont show up on my computer or itunes

Hi lllaass,
Do you know of any solutions to restore my ipod touch generation 1 or 2 I think. Itunes says it cannot restore and now it won't work? Do I have to go to an apple store or do you have any advise?
Thanks!

Does the iPod Classic 7th generation support movies in the HD format?

Does the iPod Classic 7th generation support movies in the HD format as well as SD or just SD?

No, the max resolution for video playback is generally 640x480, as stated in the specs
http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html
The screen is actually half of that resolution, at 320x240. HD at 720p is 1280x720. HD at 1080p is 1920x1080

I've got a iPod classic 80g I've got loads of pictures on there and I want to get them off. I've tried something where the files I get off come up as thumbnails which I can't open. Is there any way of getting them off and viewing them as a normal photo?

My ipod classic 120 wont respond and the screen is frozen

my ipod classic 120 wont respond and the screen is frozen

Hello Charles,
What happens if you try to do a hard reset? To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may or may not work the first time around so be sure to attempt this at least a minimum of three times.
If the iPod remains frozen, let the iPod's battery drain completely, but attempting to recharge the iPod.

Podcasts Ipod Classic 80G

Hello Folks,
I am new to this forum, having just purchased a new Ipod Classic 80G yesterday. I tried so far to sync some golf lesson podcasts that I had subscribed to in Itunes, and they did sync with my Ipod, but are all in a single file, not in single lessons that I can access one at a time. I tried to create my own playlist of all of the in a list and sync'd that but they show up as music and will only play the sound on them. Can someone help me to get them on my Ipod in selectable order so I can play each one separately, with the video and sound?
Many thanks,
Jim

I discovered after working with my unit more, I had the lessons on it just the way I wanted them to be.

Will apple repair my ipod classic 80g with video?

I got my ipod classic 80g in 2006. I used it for a couple years and was very satisfied. It was in a backpack that was tossed carelessly, and then stopped working. The screen does not display anything except for some black lines. The physical casing is not broken however. When I plug it into a computer, I can hear the harddrive spinning, but itunes won't recognize it, and it won't show up as a device on my computer. I have waited so long to inquire about a repair because I have replaced it a couple of times with other ipods. I would really like to have this one repaired as I don't have an ipod curretently. And, instead of buying a new ipod classic, I would like to have this one repaired. I read that it would cost $129 to repair this ipod.
I would like to know however, if I spend $129 will apple repair my ipod for sure? If it is deemed unrepairable, will I get a replacement? Or will they refund my money?
Thanks for reading and giving your time.
-Madison Albert

Apple doesn't actually repair iPod, but does an out of warranty exchange of it for a refurbished model of the same generation and capacity.
And it will cost $129 according to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&viewlocale=en_US&geo=United_St ates&product=ipod&select=REPAIR_PRICING

Can iPod Classic 80G use coverflow view?

I bought a used iPod Classic 80G, and I restored it to its original settings, and i have the latest softwere version, wich is 1.3. I have basicaly 2 questions:
1) When i'm using my iPod can i search my musics with coverflow view? I know that the new ones can, so i would like to know too if apple intends to distribute the new softwere for iPod classics that would include feutures like genius playlist and coverflow view.
2) I got used to coverflow on my iTunes library, but i can't use it when i'm looking at my musics on the iPod in the computer. I can't even view as grid, and i'm stuck with view as list. The question is, am i really stucked as view or is there a way to view it sorted by albuns?
Tanks for the help

It's not a "Classic" - the latest firmware for the 80/16Gb iPod Classic (i.e. 6th gen.) is v 1.1.2. You have a 5th generation iPod. Menu options are what you've already seen. There are no prospects for Cover Flow or any other graphically enhanced menus on your iPod.

My ipod classic 80G is displaying the error message "this accessory is not supported" when placed on my Altec Lansing dock

Ipod is 80G Classic and displaying no other unusal or faulty behaviour. In the couple of days between the dock working fine and the error message appearing, there were no software updates. The ipod is actually a couple of years older than the dock- what's going on?

So the iPod worked previously on this particular dock? Does Altec's support website state that it supports your particular model iPod Classic?
Have you tried a hard reset of the device with it still connected to the dock? To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
It wouldn't hurt to also check the dock connector on the iPod for any signs of debrisa and bent or corroded pins that could be blocking the connection between the dock and iPod.

IPod Classic 80Gb, wont show up in iTunes 8, but does in Finder

Just plugged my iPod classic 80Gb in and it wont show in iTunes 8, although it shows up in Finder
Tried a iPod reset. restarted my Mac but no good.
Come on man I need to do a sync....

I have a similar problem.
This morning, all music was gone from my iPod, just like that. I had been having troubles with playing a couple of songs last night if that's connected. Anyway, I connect it to my Macbook. I try to reset it through iTunes and that was done, I pressed eject and ejected it when it said OK to disconnect -- although when I did so it said it wasn't ejected properly. Now when I connect it appears in Finder as a device (like that thingy that appears when you install stuff, a white thing) but it doesn't in iTunes. In fact, as soon as I plug it in iTunes freezes and I can't open it or do anything in there, the marker just shows that it's loading.
What do I do?

Ipod billing screen wont take valid security key?

Alright, so my credit card time expired for apple. So I go in a select a new date for it to expire the next time. But when I put in the security key for my card it keeps saying invalid key.(note this is on my ipod touch). The problem is, the key I have IS valid. So I went into my apple account(on the apple site) and put in the key, it takes it and everything. When I use my ipod and go to download music, applications, or updates it tells me I have to sign in. So I do, but than it takes me into a screen with my billing info asking for the security key and to set a new experation date. Again. I did all it asked for, hit done, selected a county, but it sends me back to the screen once again saying the key is invalid. The apple site will take they key and say its valid, but on my ipod it says its invalid... So I tried going in and re-entering my credit card info and etc.on the site and it worked, for the site anyways, not the ipod. So basically my problem here is: Itouch billing info screen wont take valid security key.
Ive tried re-entering my info, making sure the adresses and everyting are the same, but nothing seems to work and I cant download anything to my ipod until this works. Please help!
NOTE: Please dont send me a link to the part of the apple site telling me to redo my info, like I said, I already tried that.

I am having the same exact problem. It's like I am not putting the right information, but I have quadruple checked several times. It asks for me to put in a a new security code then it takes me to city/county and it only has one option(which is the right one. I don't understand what is happening...I mean we have 3 people who have the same problem..is there an answer to this?

IPod Classic won't play movie

I download Les Misérables from iTunes with a redemption code I got within my DVD.
It plays perfectly fine on iTunes.
However once I synced it to my 80GB 6th gen iPod Classic, it does not play.
It simply goes back to the previous screen (choose a movie).
Any ideas on how to fix this? - as far as I'm aware, this is the only video that does not work, all others do but they are home videos.

I have an 80 classic and i started getting new movies and tv shows and my ipod stoped playing movie files. The time i experienced this was May 22, 2009. I loaded the free episode of the Glee Club offered by itunes. Did you ever find out how to fix that. Someone PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
