IPOD Classic Which Video Audio bit Rate?
I recently purchased some software for converting movie files and non protected dvds to my ipod. The software companies support told me that the maximum audio bit rate for for video files is 56kb/s for ipod 30gb and 64kb/s for ipod 60gb. Now i know i haven't got these models, i have the classic but they still told me i can convert to 64kb/s in the audio bit rate for video files before convertion. Can someone please clarify this. The software does support however a maximum audio bit rate of 320kb/s for video files. I was going to use 128 or 160.
I found this link but it only explains as far as aac-lc:
http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html
I just found something else out though, my conversion software maxes out at 160kb/s. So the iPod may support more, I don't know anymore. I still think the max is 160kb/s though, because that's all I could find when looking for it.

Video (or Video + Audio) Data Rate
Wondered if anyone here might know of a software utility that has the ability to scan QuickTime compatible files and either display the video (or video + audio) data rate excursion or, as an alternative, graph the instantaneous variation in the data rate over time.
Apple +I (show info) in QT player will show you the framerate and bitrate while playing.
Thanks for your suggestion, Rick. However, I must point out that the data rate so displayed is simply the total average for the entire clip and not the instantaneous (i.e., constantly changing) variance with time. Preliminary observations tend to indicate the single pass H.264 algorithm begings roughly 10% under the requested data rate and quickly settles very near the target. The multipass algorithm, on the other hand, appears to begin in the vicinity of 300% above the targeed data rate and monotonically decreases throughout the remainder of the movie clip. So much for a quick qualitative analysis based on observations during the actualy encoding process.
What I now wish to do is actually perform a bit of quantitative analysis and, based on those results, correlate actual data rates with the ability of a given H.264 multipass file to sync to an iPod. Basically, I am trying to determine whether or not a user data rate input is used as a comparator during the initial phase of multipass H.264 coding and, if so, how it is implemented. (I.e., how are the delta values handled -- linearly, exponentially, etc.) In addition, I wish to compare QT v7.0.3 with v7.0.4 clips to determine why the latter are less iPod compatible. Too, there remains a question as to whether or not any data rate information is now embedded in the clips themselves since various work arounds tried (i.e., clipping file lengths) have proven unsuccessful. -
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.

How do I adjust audio bit rate in MPEG-2 Program Stream?
I don't see any way to adjust the audio bit rate in the MPEG-2 Program Stream setting in Compressor 3.5.3. I need a specific bit rate of 224 KBps within an MPEG 1 Layer 2.
Thank you.AFIAK, there is no way within the preset adjustments to change the audio – either in 3.5 or 4.0
Try this for a work-around. Choose the MPG-1 setting, open Inspector and disable Video. Adjust the audio rate to 224 in the Audio tab. Submit and you should get an audio stream. In a separate job choose the MPEG-2 settings. Open the Inspector>Encoder Tab>Extras and deselect multiplex. Submit and Compressor should spit out an MPEG-2 video stream. You should be able to multiplex them in Mpeg Streamclip. (The files need to have the exact same name prior to their respective extensions.)
Good luck.

Following two changes to my computer it is only my iPod classic which has my full library of tunes on it - how can I transfer these back to the computer?
Hello, Ray.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple options available to you to transfer purchased media to your computer. Below, I have included a couple articles that outline this process.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod to the iTunes library.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you still have access to your old computer, see the steps in the article below.

I'm on Windows 8 64bit, and I have a 160gb iPod classic which has worked perfectly on all versions of iTunes including 11. Just a couple of days ago I updated to 11.1, and now when I open iTunes it gives me that error message. Re-installing or repairing iTunes has absolutely no effect, I've done that about 10 times now.
Everything in the program actually works fine, but when I try to connect my iPod, it says "connected, do not disconnect" for about 10 seconds before flashing up the "sync in progress" screen for about half a second, and then it goes to "okay to disconnect".
I have connected the iPod in disk mode and exactly the same thing happens.
Any ideas? Is my iPod now a brick until apple does another update?Upgrading to itunes 7.0 just cost me 2 days of messing around and in the end I had to revert back to v6.0 and resore my lib.
Apple CS was good but did not belly up the fact that 7.0 is defective in some cases and in the end told me I had a hardware problem!
The main issue is that I could not get itunes 7.0 to see my ipod (very infrequently after a hard boot I would see it but would not be able to upload anything). Worked(s) 100% with v 6.0.
This is very defintey 1/2 baked following in the steps of the other well known producers of sw that is not always functional/buggy the first time around.
My computer is a x40 IBM laptop with xp sp2. Will have to wait a few more weeks to see how this pans out.

I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both without loosing my music, if I plug my ipod into PC it won't read it
You need to transfer the music from your iPod on to your iTunes library on your PC, since that is where you are currently syncing and where you are signed into iTunes Match. It doesn't matter that you were previously syncing it with a Mac, and you won't need to reinstall iTunes on your PC. But you will have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer any music not purchased from the iTunes store from your iPod to your iTunes library. Here's another guide on this, which is shoter and you may find easier to follow: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive. Also, if you're using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar. This will make it easier to follow along with these guides.

I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes account using its own designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email address. How can I delete this and transfer the ipod to the same account as the iphone 4. Thankyou
iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID. So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account. Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

I have an Ipod classic which was the original device connected to Itunes.
The right way to consolidate your music is to copy it from one computer to another. You can copy music from an iPod classic though:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
When the music is all in the same library, sync the Touch.
You will still need to authorize your computer to play purchased music. For that, use the Apple ID that was used to purchase it. -
I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized.
I have searched high and low and there does not seem to be a way to authorize the iPod Classic. What can I do to sync my purchases to my iPod? I have tried reformatting/restoring it as suggested. It continues to only allow me to sync non-icloud/itunes content.
Help!What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

I have iTunes version 10.03 which I love but my iPad Apple mini has iOS 7 but I don't understand the new iTunes what is the cloud shown next to the music and how can I find duplicates can anyone help me navigate the new iTunes and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which is 4 years old
The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
The cloud icons give you access to stream or download any qualifying past purchases that you don't currently have downloaded to the library.
Regarding duplicates, things haven't really changed. Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
Yes, iTunes 11 will support your iPod classic.

My iPod classic, which is 6 years old is corrupted. A message that says ''Connect to iTunes to restore'' keeps on blinking on the screen, But when I connected it to iTunes it says an error has occured and my iPod has hung after i've disconnected it.
Hi,
Time to take your iPod in for service.
You can make a Genius Bar reservation in advance if you are in the U.S.

Does anyone know how to change the audio bit rate in
Captivate 4? The Advanced Audio Management screen shows the bit
rate at 256kbps. I'd like to change that to 128 to see if it
reduced my file size but cannot find where to do that anywhere.
Please help!!!!Welcome to our community, Mike
Click Edit > Preferences > Project node > SWF Size
and Quality node.
There you will find a slider control.
You may also wish to examine clicking Audio > Settings...

I have a Voice Memo recording in my iPod Classic which I want to transfer to the iTunes Library. How can I do this?
From here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2396
Transferring a recording to a computer
Manually
Voice memos are saved in a Recordings folder on iPod in the WAV file format. If you enable iPod for disk use, you can drag voice memos from the folder to copy them.
Synchronize
If iPod is set to update songs automatically and you record voice memos, the voice memos are automatically downloaded to a playlist in iTunes when you connect iPod. Once downloaded, the voice memos are removed from the Voice Memos folder on your iPod. To play the voice memos that have been synchronized to your computer in iTunes, select the Voice Memos playlist on the left side of the iTunes window. To play the synchronized voice memos on the iPod, select the Voice Memos playlist in the Music menu, not the Voice Memos menu in the Extras menu.
