Ipod nano 4 gb or 30gb video question

hi i will be doing some running and want to buy a ipod but was wondering if the 30gb ipod video is flash based like the ipod nano. the 30gb video is only $50 more but id like it to be flashed based as i will probably hurt the hard drive buy running with it. im hoping it's flashed base so i don't have to worry. what should i get
thanks
Jason

No, the 30gb video is not flash base. It uses a hdd. For $50 more, definitely get the video. If it break during the first year, it's cover by the warrenty.

  • IPod Nano 4th generation Camera Video Question

    I have an iPod nano 4th gen. and i would like to import camera videos from it to my mac. In order to do this i need to re-sync it to this computer. So the problem is, if i re-sync the iPod to another computer, will it erase the camera videos from my iPod? Because it says "erase and sync" whenever i connect it. Please help, thanks!

    Are you sure you don't actually have a 5G Nano? The 5G Nano was the only model in the Nano lineup that ever had a camera.  If that is the case, see this article for instructions on how to copy these videos to your Mac via the Finder.

  • Ipod nano won't display video through xtremeMac tango

    I have an extremeMac tango which I use to play videos off of my 5th gen ipod video (or classic) 60gb. We recently got a brand new ipod nano 5th gen with video 16gb and it will not play the recorded videos through the tango. Any suggestions?

    Call the manufacturer to find out if the iPod Nano 5th generation is compatible with their product.

  • IPod Updater 2006-06-28 killed 2GB Nano and a 30GB Video iPod

    Both were bought in december 2005, I was impressed as they both have worked totally perfect until Monday, plugged fully charged hardley used 30GB Video into front USB on a G5 1.6, iTunes booted and a box appeared saying iPod needed update, so I clicked ok, it then said update was succesful. iPod rebooted, Mac an iTunes no longer recognised the iPod? so I did a reset, this sorted the problem and it seemed to work fine. My daughter then wanted to plug in her Nano, so she did, I unplugged the 30GB as it was fully charged and turned it off , plugged in the nano an thought it was ok to also update, the update worked fine and rebooted straight onto the desktop an also in iTunes, we left it to recharge fully before ejecting an turning off. I then plugged the 30GB back into USB, Mac/iTunes would not recognise again? Tried to complete the 5Rs managed the first 4 but as I could not mount the iPod, I could not Restore! Tried on Powerbook, nothing apart from no charge icon! but it would no longer charge and was totally flat without any use? plugged it in to wall charger for 3 hrs, would turn on but straight away said that the iPod needed charging? Then my daughter said she could not turn Nano on, this is now totally and completely dead? nothing at all happens even when plugged into wall socket? this is too much to be a coincidence, it must be the update that has somehow fried the batteries? they are both still under warrenty so I have ordered support online and Im waiting for my boxes, but I just would like to know if anyone else out there has had simular problems? or if anyone can shine any light or information about this? I have been a total Machead for 16 years but this has just cast a shadow on my experience! :-|

    I too have had almost the identical problem. I did the update and the next time I plugged the Ipod in a lot of my library was missing and I received a corrupt database error message. I have tried everything conceivable to restore my Ipod video 30 GB but It keeps locking up. I occasionally will get it to boot up but it will only stay on for a maximum of about 3 minutes and then locks up. I have tried the 5R's and tried putting it in disk mode. I have tried the diagnostic mode which also locks up. Most of the time I get a message after resetting the ipod that I need to restore using iTunes and then it shuts off. The only way I can turn on the thing in the first place is by doing a reset. I think Apple has some explaining to do. I have seen quite a few posts of the same problem which seems to be attributed to the update. I suppose that I will be sending mine in for service. Probably would be a good idea to call customer service first, even though they probably will charge me for the call.

  • Ipod Nano does not play videos on my TV

    I have a 4th gen. 16 gb Ipod Nano and I have synced some videos & movies to it.
    The movies & videos are in H.264 encoding & I use the video cable that attaches to the bottom jack of the Ipod.
    The settings are proper(tv out is turned on)... the Ipod plays the movie on the tv only for about two minutes after which it switches the playback to its own screen.
    I have considered the charging issue so have tried to play with/without charging it at the same time.... the problem persists...
    Any suggestions as to how I could play videos on my TV using my Ipod !?!

    I have the same problem, and others have posted this as well. Yet there has never been an answer.

  • IPod Nano Output to Projector: Video Quality

    Hey guys,
    I'm looking to buy a few iPod Nano's to use when we play video montages to our clients via LCD projector. Before I buy a bunch of these, I'd like to know what the output video quality will be. These are simple slideshow's created on iMovie and currently, we burn a dvd and simply connect the video out from the dvd player to the projector.
    I'd like to simplify this by putting the video on a Nano, then connecting it to our LCD projector. Will I get similar results as with the DVD?
    Thanks!

    The audio/optical out port will accept the tonslink miniplug for digital out only. You can also use the port for 1/8 " headphones without the miniplug. The video out is on the otherside, its the DVI port. The macbookpro comes with a DVI to VGA adapter. You should hook up your projector to the DVI or the VGA. If you projector does not have DVI or VGA you can adapt from VGA to RCA.

  • IPod Nano Won't Sync Videos

    Hey Everybody! My iPod Nano That I just barely got cannot sync any videos that i have downloaded to it. I have tried the following video formats but they will not work at all
    MPEG-4
    AVI
    MOV
    and MP4 but i think its the same as MPEG-4

    Do you get an error message or does it just do nothing?
    Have you tried right clicking on the videos in iTunes and picking the menu item to Convert Selection for iPod (or however it is worded)? That can usually take an almost right video and make it all the way right for iPod use.
    iPods are a bit fussier about what they can play so a video that can play in iTunes may not be right for the iPod. So that conversion often does the trick.

  • IPod nano won't sync video files

    I have an iPod nano that plays video, and I have recently learned to transfer videos from my computer onto the device. The videos show up in iTunes and are in the correct format, but when I hook up my iPod to sync, it acts as if they aren't there. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Please help.

    I didn't realize that when you hook up your iPod, there's a tab that says "movies" and an option saying "Sync movies." Whoops.

  • IPod nano + tv shows and videos?

  • Ipod mini charger for 30GB Video?

    I had my ipod mini for a long time, then decided to get the 30gb video. But I noticed that the video only comes with the USB cable and I can only charge it when its plugged into a computer.
    Would I be able to take my charger for the Ipod mini(the one that has the firewire outlet that plugs into the charger) on my 30gb Ipod video? Would it create any problems with the battery?

    Nice nice. Thanks for the help
    So just to make things perfectly clear.
    USB wire that came with the ipod = Updates + charges.
    and the firewire charger block thingy = charges when plugged into a wall socket.
    thank you

  • Transfering my music in ipod nano to the new Video Ipod

    Does anyone know how to Transfer music from one ipod to another?

    "Does anyone know how to Transfer music from one ipod to another?"
    You can't. At least, not directly. If the music is no longer in your iTunes, you'll need to move it from iPod to the library and from there to the new iPod.
    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • TS1441 IPod classic, 5th generation [30gb] [video] [restore issues]

    I have an IPod classic 5th generation (video). I followed these steps exactly. But, whenever
    my iPod is plugged in it makes the sound, like the hard drive is trying to start but stops its
    self. It stays in this cycle of trying to start until the battery runs out. Please help. My iTunes
    is up to date. This is so weird because it was working just a minute ago and this has never
    happened before. Please help me! I need music!

    Do the iPod disk diagnostic, to check Hardisk health, refer to this excellent post by tt2.
    Most likely the hardisk is dying, with high Realloc and Pending sector numbers.
