IPod notes feature (ipod as a tour guide)

Dear iPod fans
We were using iPods as tour guides as described in "ipod notes feature guide" (www.apple.com/ipod/ipodtours)
there was a nice feature enabling to link to media files like music and video using instructions like
link to a song
on the new generation iPod this is not working (at least on the new nano). You basically can't click on the link because the instrucion seems not to be recognized by the new hardware
The iPod does not give any "error" (using the <ERRORS>tag in a note).
Copying the notes folder working on a past generation iPod video on the nano 3G results in "non interactive" menus thus making the tour guide iPod useless
has anyone tryed a way to fix this problem? Is any solution available?
Thanks

The only way to view video files on the iPod is to
sync them to the iPod using iTunes.
There's no way around that.
Thanks for the reply. In the guide they show how to point to songs do you know if there is a similar command to point to the movies I add? If that is possible then I would not have a problem.

  • Notes feature not working properly

    Sinec I've had this iPod, the notes feature on it has been a little wonky. When there are no notes, the Instructions file appears and is read fine. When I start putting small plain text files into the iPod's notes folder, the notes feature would read "no notes". I would have to keep hard resetting to get the notes to appear.
    I took it to a Genius Bar and we tried loading the Mac version of the latest iPod nano 3G update and the notes appeared every single time we reset the iPod. I go home and reload the Windows version and boom, the problem appears again. This leads me to believe there's a glitch with Notes in the Windows version of the software.
    Any ideas?

  • Where did my NOTES feature go on Mavericks?

    Help! Please! Where did my NOTES feature go now that I've upgraded to Mavericks?

    Notes are no longer part of Mail. They are in a separate app now.
    They've been "axed."

  • Hi, dragging jpeg files into i-movie - the selection of jpegs is repeating certain photos and not featuring others, making the entire sequence impossible to view. PLEASE HELP!

    Hi, I have been dragging jpeg files into i-movie all week without issue. Now all of a sudden, the selection of jpegs I'm dragging is repeating certain photos and not featuring others, making the entire sequence impossible to view.
    Please help, this is urgent for a funeral tomorrow! It didnt happen with any of the other family tributes, they all worked fine.
    Many thanks,
    Ruth

    It worked! Thank you! I finally just finished about 20 minutes ago! It took over 26 hours to complete the process you described, but I stuck with it and it worked. I am glad I didn't give up or "forget it" as some might have suggested. That would have set me back until tomorrow!
    Ultimately, it turned out there were 45,910 jpgs created. No wonder it took so many hours to render/display them all. It ended up being about 10 hours before it seemed they were all rendered but the process between them displaying and being able to start really deleting them took a few hours because partly I was asleep and also partly it took forever to do anything. Any action as simple as selecting and right-clicking to Get Info, or emptying the trash, would take 20-30 minutes, a couple times longer. The clock stopped many times for 20-30 minutes at a time, a few times over 30 minutes, before catching back up. My cursor never froze which is what really kept me going, although it was a spinning beach ball for most of the time. I was never so relieved to see my regular cursor as opposed to seeing a spinning beach ball as I was early this morning after about 10 hours!
    Once I was able to open a Finder window and select all 45,900 files (I had already deleted 10 in the previous couple hours during experimenting of trying to figure out what would work best), then right-click and select to move all the files to the trash, the process of moving them to the trash took 4.5 hours. Then deleting them from the trash took a couple minutes. There were 21.4 GB!!! No wonder the whole process took 26 hours!
    mende1, thank you so much!

  • Retirement of SharePoint Online Tags & Notes feature

    Hi everybody,
    Our Company has a challenge after the "Retirement of SharePoint Online Tags & Notes feature" was announced. The big question is: What should we use instead of the
    Noteboard? We use the Noteboard under e.g. News Article Page Layouts.
    I get the feeling that we can only use the Newsfeed as a Web Part in a Page Layout but we don't want to change this again when the
    Newsfeed will be deprecated and Yammer will be the standard...

    Good topic. We use Yammer as MSFT will eventually make it default social platform. Yammer need to improve a lot and not their yet in terms of authentication and credential sharing.

  • IPhone 4 Notes feature

    My "Notes" feature has stopped opening and I can't access all my notes. How can I access the info in my Notes?

    A restore should do the job.
    In the meanwhile, you can access the information by going to icloud.com and signing in. There you have access to all of them.

  • IPod Nano Notes feature

    Copied a .txt file to my notes folder and that came up but it was cut significantly short. Is this normal? Is there any way to have longer notes files or do I have to resort to breaking it up into pieces? Any idea what the max size is?
    Also tried a .rtf file that did not display correctly. Are there any formats other than .txt that work?

    THere is no way to allow a note to be larger. THe only format that is compatible to be displayed in notes is .txt
    THe notes I believe is only a maximum of 4000 words. I will look for confirmation of that.
    If you have a .txt file larger then you will need too break it up.
    I will post back on that limit. But i am sure it is 4000 words or characters.
    GFF:)

  • Trouble making the iPod classic manual/user guide open in PDF..

    I'm just trying to learn the basics--like how to stop the iPod from running an audiobook until I tell it to; how to make it stop; etc. But when I click on 'User Guide' or 'Manual', the page goes black and Preview, which usually shows my PDF's, doesn't open with the manual.
    Anybody know why?
    Thanks,
    Karen

    Thanks, planb. It took me a bit to translate 'right click' since I'm on a MacBook Pro, but I discovered I need to press the 'Option' key when I click the link to the User Guide/Manual. It does then download, enabling me to open it on Preview and save it.
    Appreciate the help.

  • Hi am unable to switch off my ipod culd u kindly guide

    can any answer my question please?

    Hello, Roger!
    Thanx again!
    I did manage to force-quit and re-start my iMac.
    Wrt the attached screen-shot; it shows that I need to download the OS X Mountain Lion but in reality; I DID download it on the same day of its purchase - yesterday. However; it shows that it stll need to be downloaded.
    Secondly; on the "updates"; one can also see that the iTunes 11.0.1 is available for the  update. Hence I clicked to update it yesterday. It was at that time; it began to update [I think] and continued - non-stop - since yesterday till I force-stopped it today; as per your suggestion.
    My questions are:
    1: Do I need to download the Mountain Lion once again?
    2: If I download it again, what do I do; if it still shows - as attached "available for download"?
    3: Should I update the itunes before [OR without] downloading the Mountain Lion once again?
    4: To be able to update the iTunes as mentioned above; do I need to purchase it separately?
    Thanking you,
    With warmest regards,
    Alhad Kothare

  • I use a Gmail account in Mac Mail and I'm having problems with the Notes feature

    Whenever I create a note two copies are saved in the All Mail folder. One that is titled "New Note" without any content in the note and another that is the actual note that I meant to make. Why does Gmail create the unnecessary "New Note"?

    Hi
    I have just upgraded from an iPod touch to iPhone and the notes app won't work at all. It imported note from my iPod (which used to work fine) but will not let me add or delete notes and the contents of the notes are also screwed up. If it was a computer app I would bin it and reload but how do you that with an iPhone.
    I can't face calling the Apple help line. Anyone any suggestions?
