Ipod Classic, no Now Playing for videos?

Is this only on my classic, or am I the only one who is bothered by this? When I pause a video on my ipod to go through a playlist or back to the main menu, there isn't a 'now playing' option to resume the video i was watching. Also If I pause the video for too long and the ipod shuts off I can't resume the video when I turn it back on. The previous generation wasn't like this, is it just the Classic I own? It's making it a bit harder to watch movies on the go, if I can't turn off and on my ipod without losing my place in a movie. It's like reading a book without a book mark.

  • IPOD Classic - Can I play music through HDMI

    I have a TV with HDMI in
    Bought a non Apple cable to play music through HDMI input
    Can I PLay music through any HDMI convertor cable
    Thanks

    The iPod classic supports composite or component video. Unless you have something with enough smarts in the cable to convert that to HDMI then it isn't going to happen. There are no apps for the iPod classic and it doesn't have the hardware. Does the TV have component, composite, S-Video or SCART inputs? Any of these could be driven from the classic.

    My 160GB ipod classic stopped whilst playing music and will not turn back on despite having almost a full battery. I have tried connecting to itunes and a docking station but will not turn on at all - HELP?!
    I've had this from new for 2 years, the battery life is excellent and lasts for days so I know it's not a power issue as it was fully charged that morning. No signs of connection in itunes, it's not showing as a connected device.
    Can anyone please help?

  • Ipod classic does not play in auto

    My IPOD Classic will not play on my Rosen navigation radio.

    I had the IPOD playing before plugging in the Rosen IPOD cable, then it started playing. It may have just been a matter of the radio recognizing this IPOD because the installer had used his NANO. Don't know exactly but it now works fine.

    Hello Paul,
    I would be concerned too if my display on my iPod classic was not working.  I recommend going through the steps in this tutorial.  If it is a software issue, these steps should resolve the issue:

  • Recently, my Ipod classic no longer plays grouped consecutive podcasts continuously.

    recently, (I believe the since most recent update) my ipod classic no longer plays grouped consecutive podcasts continuously. In the past it work quite effectively.
    I checked the shuffle switches, and they were all turned off. 
    None of the threads that seem to address this issue effectively.
    Don't have this problems with my iPhone 4GS.
    Does anybody know what gives?  Not real keen on Updating Software when options and features removed.

    Did a restore without any media being put on, here are the stats, and the increase from the original posted:
    Retracts: 1                         (+0)
    Reallocs: 280                     (+64)
    Pending Sectors: 480         (+48)
    PowerOn Hours: 198          (+1)
    Start/Stops: 24856             (+50)
    Temp: Current 33c             (+6)
    Temp: Min 14c                   (+0)
    Temp: Max 54c                  (+0)
    Although the hours, and temps don't matter much I included them anyway. Here are the stats after another restore, and all the media being added (increase from original, not last restore):
    Retracts: 1                         (+0)
    Reallocs: 400                     (+184)
    Pending Sectors: 48           (-384)
    PowerOn Hours: 198          (+0)
    Start/Stops: 24861             (+55)
    Temp: Current 36c             (+9)
    Temp: Min 14c                   (+0)
    Temp: Max 54c                   (+0)
    The pending sectors went drastically down, which is awesome, lot less songs are skipping.. Except the reallocs went significantly up as well, I assume that would be due to the remaps of the pending sectors? And should I try more restores to see if that would help try to fix the problem, assuming it would be fixing desk/memory errors?

    Videos do not go into Photo Stream.
    You can add them to a Shared Photo Stream.

  • My 5 year old iPod classic will not play on my Yamaha CRX-332 cd receiver but my 3 year old iPhone 3g will.  Any suggestions to get my iPod to read the receiver or get the receiver to read the iPod?

    My 5 year old iPod classic will not play on my Yamaha CRX-332 cd receiver but my 3 year old iPhone 3g will.  Any suggestions to get my iPod to read the receiver or get the receiver to read the iPod?  The receiver should be able to play the iPod with a USB connection or with the iPod dock.  Neither works with my iPod however both work with my iPhone 3g.  The iPod has the latest software.  Any thoughts?

    If it is a 5-year old iPod, there is the possibility that the receiver simply won't work with the older software (there hasn't been an iPod Classic software update in years). You might try contacting Yamaha support (or doing a google search) to see if it is a known issue. One solution (probably the easiest) is to get a cable that connects a min jack (i.e., a headphone jack) to stereo cables, and just connect the iPod up that way. You eliminate the risk of corrupting the iPod, and it is a solution that should always work. Just use a wall charger to power the iPod.

  • 5th Gen iPod Classic won't play video

    I've been having a problem getting my 5th gen. iPod to play video podcasts. I'm using iTunes 9.2.1 and os 10.6.4. For about a month or so now my iPod will play a couple videos and then it just stops playing them. It usually finishes playing but then goes to black screen before the next video starts. If I click the pause button the battery indicator shows up at the top and three podcast titles quickly display and then disappear, and then the screen returns to the menu. From that point it won't play any video podcasts; until I resync the iPod then it will play three of four video and quit again until it's resync'd. Even after it stops playing videos it will still play audio podcasts without interruption.
    I've tried restoring my iPod, but I get the same behavior after the restore.

    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!!!!!!!!!

  • IPod classic - won't play video podcasts

    Hi Community!
    I have a shiny new iPod classic 160GB, and I love it ... except for the fact that I can't play video podcasts with it.
    They play fine on iTunes, and my audio podcasts work great, but no video podcasts.
    When I click on one, the screen goes black for a few seconds, then goes back to the menu.
    Please help me!
    Thanks!

    Hi, I have the same problem, but videos i converted to mp4 under the iPod specs..
    I transferred some and all played OK... decided to transfer more vids and now those freshly videos don't play
    They transfer to my iPod classic, i.e no error message.
    Then i browse my ipod try to watch a movie and the same thing as you, black screen and then the menu slides back into place as i have not watched it
    I tried reset center +MENU, tried restoring ipod, now i tried "Create an iPod or iPhone version" and i got this warning
    "One or more videos were not converted because they're on the right format" so the format or encoding is not the problem with my videos
    I will reinstall itunes if that doesn't work i will defrga my hard drive if no then a itunes repiar... i hope something works

  • FIX FOUND for iPod classic refusing to play mp3s

    I have several albums on my iPod that I've ripped myself from my CDs (using EAC+Lame to rip, foobar2k to calculate replay gain and mp3tag to clean up tags and convert RPG to iTunes soundcheck). These files play fine on iTunes and any other program, and played fine on my 5.5G iPod. But they wouldn't play on my new iPod classic. Resetting or restoring the iPod had no effect.
    After examining the files with a hex editor, I found that these files actually had TWO ID3v2 tags, one after the other at the start of the file. I used the hex editor to strip out the second superfluous ID3 tag and a load of null padding after it, making sure that I deleted an even number of bytes so that the word alignment wasn't affected.
    The files now play fine.
    It seems that the previous iPod firmware was robust enough to ignore the extra ID3v2 tag, but the current version gets confused. The root cause, though, clearly lies with the tagging programs I used rather than Apple, and with a poor definition of the ID3 standard in general.
    I've been looking around for an automated solution that will scan my entire library for erroneous tags. I'm currently testing ID3Cleanup from http://www.musicip.com/freetools.jsp, which seems as if it removes the superfluous tag and padding correctly.

    Do this on a COPY of your mp3 files to test first.
    If your MP3 has artwork embedded in it, the artwork will be stripped out.
    Go to http://www.musicip.com/freetools.jsp
    and download ID3Cleanup (available in Windows, Unix and Mac versions) into the folder with your files.
    Open a command shell (terminal) and change directory to the folder with your test files then type in
    ID3Cleanup -compact .
    (note the dot at the end)
    Sync the files to your iPod and see if they play. If not, then you may have a different problem.

  • Ipod Classic doesn't play video with Component cables

    I just bought a new Ipod Classic and I have it connected to my Denon receiver using the Denon dock.  I am able to play music and movies from the ipod.  But when I try to play movies thru my small LG tv (Apple red, rellow white component cable) I only get audio and only if I have it in the white docking station.  Do I need to buy the composite cables to get the video?  I do get a message stating I need to plug into a video source. 
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Have tried to completely restore the iPod to factory settings and then resync the video? 
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
    Before you do that, try converting the video once more using iTunes' built in convert.  To do this, highlight the movie and chooose Create iPod or iPhone version from the Advanced drop down menu.  When the conversion process is finished, sync the new version over to your iPod and see if that helps.

  • Ipod Classic no longer plays certain songs.

    My Ipod 160gb Classic has been working correctly as of lately (or rather, how it usually acts instead of correctly); however, yesterday I plugged my Ipod into my Windows XP computer, Itunes Version 10.1.1.4. After resyncing/connecting/etc. that the Ipod always does when it is plugged in and letting it charge, I eject my Ipod through Itunes.
    Then, much to my delight, my Ipod was somehow managed to be wiped. No music, no videos, photos, podcasts, etc. However, I did find it interesting my game stats were still there, so I assume the Ipod just didn't decide to do a whole harddrive delete (I may be wrong). I tried the Center Button + Menu combination for the X amount of seconds, for the Apple Logo to appear. No dice, still nothing.
    But anyway.
    I now tried to plug my Ipod into my computer again, and kept receiving errors saying it could not be read due to an Input/Output issue in reading my Ipod. This could have been the USB port, but that doesn't change the problem I have currently having.
    So once the Ipod was read (took forever and Itunes kept freezing), I restored it because Itunes told me there was an issue with it. And you know, I had nothing on there, so why not. After restoring, and resyncing all 750 of my songs from Itunes (took forever. All of these songs either bought through the Itunes store, or through a CD I own (I can supply photo proof of these to show the issue isn't from pirating)). But anyway, after resyncing all these songs, a huge issue occurs that I am unable to fix. Certain songs will only play for around 5 seconds, then not play the rest of the song, and continue to the next. Or won't even play the song at all.
    Ex: Song 1 on an album will play, then the next song to play is Song 5, skipping 2,3,4 in between.
    Sometimes certain songs will play, other times they will not for no reason whatsoever. It's frustrating when I try to play a song and it'll work, then I'll try listening to it a few hours, or even minutes without turning off my Ipod, and it won't play now. When I try to manually select a certain song that isn't playing, the Ipod will freeze for probably around 10 seconds, until it ends up skipping every song in between until the next 'playable' one comes up.
    All of these songs work on Itunes currently, and worked before the issue I had with all my media being wiped from the Ipod.
    I checked the file format of some of these songs, comparing not working to working, and they are the exact same. The issue is occuring with both songs from CD's as well as purchased from Itunes. Again, all of these songs were bought legally.
    I searched through other people having these similar issues, however much of the way those were fixed aren't working here. I tried several of those solutions: restoring, converting files formats, making sure Itunes Store purchases, etc, and I'm pretty tech-savvy  But the thing is, all of my songs worked before, now they don't, and I just can not figure out why.
    I hope I supplied enough information on the issue and how it happened. Sorry for the huge message. Help is appreciated
