IPod Compatibilty with a TV Question

I have the 160 GB iPOD.  I am shopping for a new tv.  I looked at one with Smart Apps today.  What I want to do is hook my iPod up to the tv so I can take advantage of the sound system it has.  I do not want to buy a separate sound system.  This tv, the one I am looking at, as a sound bar system.  Can an iPOD be hooked up the the Blue Ray or TV itself.  I guess my question is more about the tv, but am trying to figure the best way to make the use of the sound system with my iPod.  My music is on my desktop itunes, but can the itunes library be accessed thru Smart Apps?

you should be able to get the track info. Find out what file format they are. To be safe, I'd convert them to .mp3s (if you hadn't any clue what the format was still). Then Download iTunes. Drag-Drop the songs into iTunes. Then play them when you want . You can connect the iPod to the computer and all the music in your itunes library will transfer to the iPod automatically.

  • Backing iPod up with the terminal question!

    Okay, last night I did the Terminal trick where to make all invisible folders visible. I wanted to back up my iPod's songs and restore it to Macintosh format, so I dragged the music folder from the now visible iPod control folder on my iPod, which is a lighter color than a folder normally is. Then I restored my iPod, took that music folder, and replaced it with the restored iPods empty music folder in iPod control folder.. but.. the music isn't on my iPod or on the library on iTunes.. Pleeeease help!

  • My question is the my daughter has an ipod touch with alot of music and games on it, but the computer that had itunes in it and all the apps and music is now gone. How can I transfer all her games and music her new computer without loosing her stuff?

    My daughter has an ipod touch with alot of games and music on it. The computer it was synced to is forever gone and on her new computer some of the games dont show up along with her music. She is worried if she connects it to her new computer all will be lost. Is there anyway for this to not happen? The ipod is on its last life due to a cracked screen, and as for the games she has spent money on them such as smurf village and others. When i looked at game center on my phone about less than half of that game showed up. Is there anyway to fix these things before its to late and eveything is gone forever?
    THANK YOU.

  • New iPod Touch with January Update Restore Question

    Hi,
    Few days ago i bought new iPod Touch with 1.1.3 software and January Update.
    When I restore it I'll lose my January Update programs ? And if that happened what can I do to get them back ?
    PS. Sorry for my poor english :P
    Cheers

    It was mentioned already in this thread. If you look at the package check the seriel number. If it ends with /B then that is the new model and it has the new applications that were provided in the Jaunary update already programmed into the iPod. If you restore you will not lose them.
    If it ends with /A then it is an older model that required the January Update in order to get the applications on your iPod. If you restore then you will lose them but you don't need to purchase them again as your iTunes will keep track of the purchase for you.

  • I had an old iPod nano with my files saved on it and was stolen. I cannot find my old account. I bought an iTouch and made the new account that was needed for it to function. I was wondering how i could find my old account and get all the content back.

    I had an old iPod nano with my content saved on it and was stolen. As well, I can't find and access my old account that I had with it. I bought an iPod touch and made a new account so that I could use the iTouch. Anyone know how to find the old account and how to transfer data from the old one to the new account?

  • I have just received my new 160GB ipod... - some questions! Please help.

    Hi,
    I have just received my new 160GB ipod and have a few questions.
    1. I have been using a 3rd generation ipod for the past few years. I have an ipod dock that I got with that, can I use that with a firewire charger to charge the ipod?
    2. I do not want a big bulky case for the ipod. I have read that the front of the classic does not scratch very easily as the screen is glass. Can anyone confirm if this is true??
    I was going to buy some kind of a shield until i read this... do I need one?
    - What about the back of the ipod? How could I go about protecting this? Does anyone know if the Belkin protective overlays for ipod video fit? (Shown here - http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=257250).
    I have ordered some ipod socks off amazon (found some very cheap if anyone is interested - shown here http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0007TXTB6/). As I don't want a bulky case, will these protect my ipod enough?
    Sorry for all the questions, just that I have got my iPod but don't really want to use it until i've got some scratch protection on it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Matt

    Jake, you can charge with a firewire cable but you won't be able to sync or transfer.
    The Classic has a polycarbonate screen. Only the iPhone (Touch?) has a glass one.

  • Ipod classic with a new and unique problem

    <post edited by host>
    I have read a number of help topics, forum posts and apples suggestions in fixing problems and have had no luck so I had to start a new topic.
    - Ok, A while ago i was using my ipod one fine 'sunny' day (if that's relevant) and it just went bleap, dead. Wouldnt do anything at all. Eventually when I got it home I reset it and the apple logo would come up whenever I pressed any button, this is still the case. After i reset it, the folder with the lightning image appears then the apple logo and thats all it does, even after charging it. PS: I am using it on windows XP, but have a Mac laptop also if I can use that to my advantage somehow, it doesn't read on there either atm.
    When I try plugging it into the computer it does not come up in itunes. I have reset the ipod, reset the computer, updated itunes (which is exactly the same every update, in terms of anything useful), and have also gone into the drive manager and had a look around.
    When the ipod is plugged in, it comes up 'do not disconnect' then after a while there is a Tick and it says 'ok to disconnect'. meanwhile there is a battery with a lightning bolt moving as though it is charging.
    In the device manager, the ipod appears when I plug it in, but then within about 10 seconds it dissapears and I notice that the ipod has resorted back to the apple logo, almost as if it has self destructed. But then somehow it ends up getting back to the screen with the big Tick and 'ok to disconnect'.
    Now, one time when the ipod appeared in device manager I managed to open it before it dissapeared and it said no driver was installed. I tried to reinstall a driver but obviousely it could not recognise that I had the ipod plugged in.
    I hope I have remembered everything. Please somebody help!

    See the following helps in your case ..........................................................
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk

    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
    Last Resort Level
    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

    2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
    Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

    I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

  • Syncing my iPod classic with Itunes on Windows 8

    Hello,
    I completed an itunes update a few days ago. Since that time; I have been unable to sync my iPod classic with my library or even manage it. I have been searching and see that this has become an issue for many people who use Windows 8. Is there any way I can fix this issue? I do not want to manage my iTunes music on the cloud. I just want to be able to plug in my iPod and manage it through iTunes. Is there any way I can do this?
    I contacted support for assistance, but didn't really receive any answers to my questions. The first reply was asking me what my issue was (when I had already wrote a lengthy explanation of the issues I was having) and the follow-up said that I needed to call to speak with a representative to see about support options including fee-based support. I don't feel that I should have to pay fee to understand why I can no longer sync my iTunes with my iPod. I have many songs in my library and I have paid for them all. Why can't I have access to them on my iPod? As it is; I can't even manage my playlists anymore.
    I am considering selling my iPod if I can't get this issue resolved. I really don't want to because it is still fairly new, but I don't see any reason to keep it if I can't use it.
    If anyone has any feedback or knows something that might help me get this sorted out I would be very grateful!
    Thanks--

    how did you fix it?

  • How do I sync iPod calendar with iCal?

    Hello everyone,
    I have just been bought a new iPod touch as a birthday present.  Since I have never had a device that operates like a smart phone before (I know it's not exactly a smart phone), I thought I would begin to use it as a diary, note-taker etc.  I have always done these things on paper, but now I think it would be a good idea to have them synchronized between iPod and computer.
    My laptop is running Snow Leopard, which I believe is too old to exploit iCloud.  So I have been trying to find out the "old fashioned" way of syncronizing an iPod and iCal on my laptop.  I thought it would do it automatically during the usual iTunes sync, but apparently not.  And I've found surprisingly little information on the web.
    What I have done so far is try to set up an account on iCal.  I clicked to add a new account, selected "Automatic" for account type, put my usual Gmail address in the e-mail address bar, and my Gmail password in the password bar.  Then clicked create.
    But as soon as I now try to enter anything in the calender, an error message comes up (I have redacted the event name and my Gmail username):
    The server responded with an error.
    Access to “[EVENT NAME]” in “[MY GMAIL USERNAME]@googlemail.com” in account “[MY GMAIL USERNAME]@gmail.com” is not permitted.
    The server responded:
    “HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden”
    to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.
    Seems as though some mismatch between "gmail" and "googlemail" is the problem?
    Anyway, I'm not even sure I want to start using Google calendar – that was just what iCal automatically gave me.  Is there not an Apple equivalent (not iCloud) that would make things more compatible?
    Since I'm starting from scratch, I thought this would be easy, but no such luck!
    Thanks for any help!
    Jon

    Hey JonC84
    Thanks for the question. You can definitely sync your new iPod touch with the local calendar on your computer (you won't need to setup an account like iCloud). The following article may help you achieve this:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
    You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
    Calendars
    To sync calendars with your computer, choose "Sync Calendars" or "Sync iCal Calendars."
    - When syncing calendars, you can sync all calendars or sync specific calendars.
    - You can limit the data that is synced to only events that have occurred in the last 30 days. The option can be changed to any number of days.
    For additional information, see this article (while the article refers to iTunes 11, most steps are applicable for you):

  • Slow iPod sync with network drive

    I run a small network for my home/office (I am self employed) with about 4 PCs for me and my family.
    We have 3 iPods in our family and we just use one PC to host iTunes, but because we have so much music, I have put the music on a network drive served from my file server (Windows Small Business Server - Windows Server 2003 based).
    There's no problem with this setup, except one:
    I've noticed that when iPods sync with iTunes, it takes a very long time, perhaps 5 times as long than when I had my music files on an external hard drive directly connected to the PC on which we run iTunes.
    This is fustrating. My question is: is there anything that can be done about this ?
    I can't really understand why this should be an issue. iTunes has, stored in the library files on my local PC, the details of all my music files. So when my iPod syncs, surely iTunes consults the iPod and consults what is in iTunes and figures out what should change - and then and only then should iTunes need to connect to the network drive to actually get any necessary files. Is my understanding wrong of what iTunes is doing when syncing an iPod ?
    The issue is that even with no changes, sync-ing is an issue.
    Any help on this gratefully received - have looked in this forum and other places, but haven't managed to trawl and info on my issue.

    Having been given an iPod video 60Gig as a present, I am sometimes forced to use it.
    Recently I tried - I downloaded and installed latest itunes 7.5 on the PC running Windows XP.
    Built up the library of music - tried to do a sync. So slow I nearly hit the PC. The transfer rate would merely get 40 Meg on in 5 minutes (thats my estimate all I know is it never finished). I tried to leave it running for 3 hours and still not finished - the size of music to transfer was about 2400 songs.
    I then tried to use Vista Home Basic - with itunes 7.5 - it wouldnt even recognize the ipod.
    After a few days of giving up and banging my head against the wall I tried Linux too - but that was slow too.
    I eventually went back to Vista and de-installed itunes 7.5 - found version 6.05 and installed it. It went through like clockwork (well as clockwork as can be it was magically fast but fast enough to fill half of the 60Gig).
    I then had the magic idea - why not update to 7.5 from 6.05 and guess what - its slow again painfully slow.
    Version 7.5 *****!

  • LOVE my video iPod, but I have a question on battery life

    I just received my iPod yesterday, and I already have my entire music library on it as well as 3 movies and I must say I am amazed...
    One question though, after watching "Stealth" for about 20 minutes, the battery appears to be halfway drained. Is this normal? How much battery life can you expect to get if you use it for watching a movie? One of the reasons I got the iPod video was for watching movies while on plane rides / long road trips etc, but it looks like the battery may not even last through an entire movie.
    I did buy one of those external battery pack things last night which will help immensely on the road, but just curious on how far I can get watching a movie without any external devices?
    Also, when using the videora, which is better, 6 channel AC3 or 6 channel DTS?

    ilounge.com has a good article on battery life.
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/comments/apple-computer-ipod-5g-with-vi deo-30gb-60gb-ipod/
    I've also heard the meter will change and reflect battery life based on what function is currently being used. So, after watching a lengthy video it may be red but if you switch to music it turns green because the current function uses less battery life per min/hour of use than videos do.

  • Can I use my iPod apps with a MacBook?

I guess one of the big questions is can I use my existing iPod apps with the MacBooks or do I have to make separate purchases again for them? I also want to record my teachers' lectures... So that may also have a factor in this.
    Sorry if this is in the wrong place... I'm new to the support forums. ^-^;

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    No, the iPod and the Mac have different operating systems; iOS and OS X respectively. The apps must be developed for the Specific OS. When the same app is for both platforms, they are actually two different apps and if you want both, then you have to buy both separately from their respective app stores.

  • Convert DV File to iPod Video with Chapters

    Hi All,
    My question is simple. I have a project in FCP Suite that I want to export to an iPod with chapters. I subscribe to Podcasts that have chapters in them such as Photoshop TV.
    I have exported to a DV stream from the timeline, and viewed the DV file in QuickTime player to verify that the chapters are in fact still there which they are. When converting from DV, what do I need to do to convert to a format suitable for an iPod Video with the chapters still intact so I can easily skip around on my iPod like a DVD player can. Nothing I do seems to carry the chapter markers over in the conversion process.

    Michael (and George)-
    We've been creating the same m4v files with similar software to George's (FC5 and Compressor2) and while we can place chapter markers in the m4v file, and that file will acurately use the markers when played in QuickTime on the computer, once the file is sent to Video iPod, the markers are not very accurate, missing the marked frame by up to 2 sec. Has it been your experience when using this feature in Compressor 3 that these markers are spot on? Would certainly appreciate your input on this,
    Greg M

  • What version of iTunes should I use for my 160gb iPod classic with a 2.0.1 software?

    I have a 160gb iPod classic with a 2.0.1 software. I just had my laptop fixed and I downloaded the new iTunes but I can't sync my iPod. I think this is because it's not compatible with each other (am i right?) Well, anyway, I need to know what verstion of iTunes to use so that I can sync again on my iPod. Thank you!

    hi PT the devil advocate,
    The first reason why I'm suggesting this is because of the first question ask in this post;
    sphericalcamel wrote:
    I updated iTunes to whatever is current through software update, but when I tried to run it I was informed that it needed 10.4.9 to run (and for some reason software update didn't pick up that requirement).
    The second reason, is because you will not receive full support on older software version. Like said above, you cannot buy song with an older iTunes version.
    Beside, I said in a previous reply of this post that this is my personal preference to keep software up-to-date and that _I do understand_ that other person could prefer to stick with software version that have been proven to work well and not update. Having say this, I do not beleive that you need to play the devil's advocate here.
    Nevertheless, this is normally suggested to keep software up-to-date in order to prevent either security issue (lot of updates are for improving security) and also for bugs issue. I'm not suggesting to buy Leopard here. I'm only saying that 10.4.2 is out-dated by 9 version which are free upgrade and that at version 11, 10.4 should be quite mature now for all computer.
    For me, based on this, I do not see any reason why someone should not be running previous version than 10.4.11. If there is sleeping bugs running 10.4.3 and not 10.4.2, I'm suggesting to adress this issue instead because _there must be a solution to this_.
    In order to solve the issue, I'm just suggesting to post it on Tiger forum.
