IPod Notes Question

I enjoy reading movie scripts. When I heard I could
transfer text files to view on iPod as a note I was
excited! I have a 5 g iPod 30.
I transfered one of my scripts to the iPod and it
seemed to work perfectly, but the ipod will only let
me view a small portion of the begining of the
script. Is there a way to adjust the maximum size of
the file viewed so I can read an entire script in one
file?
Any help will be appreciated!!!
No, but you can get free software that will convert your large documents into a little web thing, with next and previous links to the next page.
This was discussed around an hour ago on this thread...

This isn't achely a question it's about iPod not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old

This isn't achely a question it's about iPod not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old

And it's totally impractical for any OS to provide complete backwards compatibility in perpetuity. So no, Apple cannot grant your request. As WJ said, it's the developers' reponsibility to provide updates to their applications to be compatible with newer operating system releases, whatever the platform might be.

Question about iPod Notes

First of all, let me say that I'm not very 'techie' so if this is a stupid or naive question...please bear with me.
My question is about iPod notes. It says you can only put plain text files in the notes folder, and yet it does not display the note in plain text (I believe the display's font is Helvetica). It also wraps earlier than at 80 characters like a .txt file should.
So basically...the note never looks the same on TextEdit (or whatever) as it does when you view it to your iPod.
I have been making a few eBooks to read on my iPod and -- just to make them look neater -- I would like to do a few things like centering titles, adding dividing lines, etc.
So I was hoping somebody could tell me how to set TextEdit (or whatever) so that a note will look the same on it as it does when viewed on the iPod so that I can edit the file. --Like, what is the exact font and size of the text on the iPod display and where does it wrap exactly (I figure it must wrap according to the size of the window, since a variable number of characters can go on a line w/ non-equal-spaced type).
Also...I figure that the file I edit would have to be a .rtf since the display is not in plain text, yet it says you can only put plain text files in the iPod notes folder. So...I suppose I would have to convert the file from .rtf to .txt before putting it into my notes folder...or can you put rtf. files in there after all?
Anyways...any help anybody out there can give me with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much!

It says you can only put plain text files in the notes folder, and yet it does not display the note in plain text (I believe the display's font is Helvetica).
Plain text means it does not have any special coding/characters in it such as Bold or Underscores or page breaks.
Plain text docs do not store anything except text. It does not specify a font. That is taken care of by whatever app you are using.
I suppose I would have to convert the file from .rtf to .txt before putting it into my notes folder...or can you put rtf. files in there after all?
You can put rtf in the Notes folder but the iPod will ignore any of the formatting.
You can use some html to format a bit as well as linking to other files/songs/photos.
Go here -> Guided by iPod and click on *iPod Notes Feature Guide* at teh bottom for a doc explaining the notes.
There are a few apps and web pages to put text docs into the correct size files.
Here's one -> http://www.ipod-notes.com/ (I haven't used it so no idea if it's any good or not).

This is a question for Someone with a UK 80gb video ipod, NOT A CLASSIC

Can someone please tell me if this works
Open itunes, connect pod
Select all in ipod (not itunes library , while connected)
Get info
Slide the vol slider all the way to 100
Wait a few moments for the magic to happen
Then is the output louder, like it makes it on my 60gb ipod
Not just full volume half way as some suggest, but LOUDER
plugging into a recording device and watching the meter go up more is proof that my ears are not lying
My 2nd and 5th gen ipods do this but it has no effect on a classic
I would say around 60gb of my music is barely audible (Ripped vinyls so they are not as loud as CDs)
which is why Im after a 80gb 5.5 gen but dont fancy wasting more money after the fiasco called a classic ipod
Many thanks

Why aren't they?
I've watched your previous threads on this subject with the same trepidation as Meg St. Clair, deggie, Jeff Bryan and Zevoneer (all of whom have a lot of knowledge and earn my respect for it), but I have hesitated to respond for obvious reasons. Until now.
You mention ripped vinyl being quieter than CDs. Perhaps you should get the level right on the ripped vinyl before importing it into iTunes. Then it would be (almost) the same as CDs.
I use Audacity to rip vinyl to .mp3 for importing to iTunes. Whatever programme you use (if it's any good) should have similar feature to the one I'm about to describe. Once recorded into Audacity and trimmed to length, select all (of the file) and click on Effect/Amplify . A dialogue box comes up which tells you how much amplification will be applied and the new peak amplitude (dB). You should not go above the 0dB mark, nor should you "allow clipping" because you will introduce distortion and/or "clip off" the loudest sounds which will sound dreadful. (I actually amplify to a new peak of -0.3dB, that's my safety margin.)
I mentioned before that the file would now be almost the same as a CD. A CD has a wider dynamic range than vinyl (the difference between the softest and loudest sounds) and many recent CDs also have far more bass than vinyl, which was limited in this respect due to the technology available at the time. Consequently, your ripped vinyl-to-mp3 will probably never be as "punchy" as CD, but at least there will be less difference if the dB level is similar. You could also boost the bass in Audacity - before amplifying - but be very cautious because it's a crude adjustment and if you over-do it, the result will be very tiring when you listen to the song more than once! I speak from experience!
If you use the "boost" feature in iTunes *and it actually does something", it will probably introduce distortion, especially if you simply "blanket boost" all your mp3s by the same amount. It's a very crude method of achieving very little. it should be used selectively and with caution.
By the way, I have a 5th gen late model UK iPod and a 160GB Classic! Whether or not it, or they both have a volume cap - live with it!

IPod Not being recognized with all the software updates

I've been without my iPod for a few weeks now and I desperately want it back. I dropped it a while back, and have come online to look up stuff to restore it, but none of that is working for me. I reset it by pressing "menu" and "Play" at the same time, then put it into disk mode by pressing the "ff" and "rwd" buttons together, but even in disk mode my computer is not recognizing it at all. The iPod screen says that it is in disk mode, and says it's okay to disconnect, but its not giving me the option to restore when I connect it to my computer and open the iPod updater.
It also gives me the file folder w/ an exclamation point whenever i don't put it into disk mode. And the few times that my computer does pick up something the iPod updater flashes a message that says "Can't Mount iPod" and then the updater manually closes itself. Anyone know what to do?
Thanks
20GB with Dock Connector Windows XP

For "Cant mount iPod" - please try the following first
Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
If still cant solve it then
The Sad iPods icon, clicking sound or folder with an exclamation mark are the toughest problems to deal with, and must do a Restore in order to fix it. However, when your iPod is showing this icon, it is probably too late for your computer to recognize the iPod.
1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
2. 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
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. We've found that 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.
There are also some cases being reported that some unrecognized iPod being able to be erased with Linux, then reconnect the iPod with the original computer and do a Restore there.
8. Try to do an Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a format with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer). You may need to plug and unplug your iPod with the computer for several attempts, and switching around Format and Restore, and hope out of sudden, it will get recognized.
9. Diagnostic mode solution – which I copied from a thread of a post from thinktwice
“Then I cam across this special Diganostics Mode that you can get to by resetting and then while the Apple is showing pressing the Select and backwards keys simultaneously. It bring up and weird Diagnostic utility witha a abunch of tests. Here is what I did
- I tried the 5in1 test and got and error on Firewire.
- I did the HDD R/W and surprisingly it passed.
- I went on to the HDD scan. This supposedly tkaes acouple of minute so I waited. I think 4-5 dots appeared then nothing. The iPod started to get hot. THe disk was spinning away. After a while the battery got very low. THis test chews up the battery. So I escaped out by resetting and went to connect it to a power source.
My USB was dangling out of my computer and I was too lazy to get the Firewire AC adapter thing going so I connected expecting the whole lockup thing with iTunes. Surprise. IT was recognized immediately and has been working like a champ. So go figure.
Details on Diag mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
10. Let me ask you a question, if an iPod with no iPod software with it. When your connect it with a computer, what would happen?
Yeah, the computer will treat it as a fresh external hard disk, which will get force mounted, the computer will ask you to format the iPod. It does not really matter the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted iPod software on the iPod, after that the computer will recognize it.
Once it has been completed, eject your iPod, open the iPod updater and interestingly, you will able to do the Restore this time.
Base on the above, that's why I suggest Windows users who experience trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac machine or vice versa. PC computer will not recognize a Mac formatted iPod, but it will get mounted in an attempt to format your iPod.
11. Put your iPod in disk mode and plug with a computer, and have a boot of your computer using the Mac OS or XP startup disks, hope that your iPod will be seen on Mac's Disk utility and allow you to do a Erase there. Or, under the XP, you will be able to find your iPod there for you to do a Restore.
But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.
I have just read an interesting solution about the Sad iPod, it does make sense but the warranty will be waived once you open the iPod, I would not do it myself as I am not good on doing this

Ipod not being recognized...Windows XP Mass Storage Problem

I'm like many of you who installed the new Itunes 7 and is having the same connection problems. My 30g video Ipod will not be recognized on my laptop and itunes. I believe my usb cord is working properly because when I connect my ipod into the laptop it charges.
I've tried everything that was said on this forum: the five r's, disk mode, updating drivers, etc.
But I was wondering: I have the iCarPlay FM Transmitter Has anyone noticed, that when they connect their ipod into it, a error pops up on the screen: "USB Connection and Firmwire are not compatible"...something along that line. And now when I connect my ipod, the sound is absoultely terrible! It only comes out of one speaker in my car. My friend owns an ipod nano and hers works perfectly with my transmitter.
Now my other question: I don't see my ipod in the device manager...but I do see is Mass Storage Controller highlighted with a big yellow exclamtion triangle. I click on it and try to install from the ipod cd and nothing happens, I can't even uninstall it. Do you think that's my ipod not working?
Also, I've tried connecting my ipod to my two computer desktops and it's not recognized either and I also tried connecting my ipod to my sister's Mac computer and nothing happens.
Any other suggestions to help my ipod? When the heck is Apple going to respond with a new update?
I should of just bought the Zune instead of the iPod!
Dell Inspiron 700m Windows XP laptop

Follow the instructions in this link: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136 Even if there are no updates available, follow the instructions to reload your USB driver. After that, go into Device Manager, right click on your iPod and reformat it (FAT32). After this go into iTunes and Restore your iPod.
"I should of just bought the Zune instead of the iPod!"
I know you are frustrated, but statements like this don't exactly motivate others here to help you. And if you think that would solve your problem, go to the Zune discussion groups.

How to Track an iPod not under iCloud

Is there any way to trace location of a lost iPod not registered under iCloud

Well up to a point it is. iCloud is free for the 1st 5gigs of storage (backups and such). After that you have to pay.
My question is, what does your reply have to do with the original post?

How to refer to video from iPod Notes???

Sorry that this is not an answer to your question. I have just tried to do this as well and ended up here after searching the discussions.
I tried a number of things (<A HREF="movie=...">, "video=...", and many other combinations of ipod:music... ipod:videos..., etc.) and none worked. The link is there in the notes reader only for "song=..." (and variations), but it is not active. (But you probably knew all that already.)
Anyway, I post this mostly to keep the topic alive.

This might help you using PS within iPhoto:
Note: the tip was developed with PS C3 but should be essentially the same for C6).
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

Ipod transfer questions

please excuse my ignorance....I have an Ipod shuffle and an Ipod mini (both are over 2 years old). Can I transfer Ipod mini music from my library onto my shuffle? My ex-sister-in-law has my downloads from my shuffle on her computer and my brother accidently erased my music trying to put more music on it. Next question, my brother has an new version Ipod (not nano) and I made a playlist from songs that I like on his Ipod. Can I transfer a playlist from his computer or Ipod to my Ipod without erasing my own music on my Ipod? (not music purchased from Itunes store). Again, not techno savy...excuse the ignorance.

When I set up sync movies, does it copy every movie from my movie folder to my ipod?
Not if you choose to sync selected movies. There should be options for you when you choose to auto sync movies.
Do these ipods come in window format?
Yes. For quite a while now all new iPods come Windows formatted out of the box.

I have forgotten my security answer,also my ipod not starting only showing apple logo.

IPOD not pausing

I recently purchased a new 8G Nano Gen 3 and I had a quick question which I was unable to find in other topics. I recently damaged my IPOD headphones and while waiting for a new pair I used a non-IPOD brand which constantly fell out of the IPOD headphone port. Since I received my new pair if my headphones disconnect the IPOD does not pause, which it used to do. Any suggestions?

same with my problem
i have 1st gen iPod Nano (2GB). I've use non-ipod earphone since last year (and it's going OK, still pausing when i unplugged the earphone). Suddenly, 2 weeks ago my ipod not pausing when i unplugged my earphone. I think it's not because the earphone...
Is there any solution?

IPod not syncing on Windows or Mac

My sister recently purchased a Macbook. I tried using her iPod to move her songs from her PC to the new Mac (as mentioned elsewhere) but it didn't work. I ended up just wiping the whole ipod and moving songs with a USB travel drive.
When I synced up her ipod to the Macbook, I restored it to format it for Mac. The songs started to load and about 3/4 of the way through her library I received this error message.
"Attempting to copy to the disk <ipod name> failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I have tried using the "Disk cannot be read" troubleshooting page, but none of these suggestions help - it is a brand new Macbook - she literally bought it yesterday, and I have tried to use both a firewire and a USB cable that work fine with another ipod and computer. Disgruntled, I tried hooking up the ipod again, once again restoring it since data categorized as "other" was showing up on the iPod on the iTunes summary page. Once again, a few songs in we got another error message.
"The iPod <name> cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I have restored the iPod on the Macbook three times now. Each time, it goes through restore, and then when it is syncing with the music library it gives the error message as above, iTunes freezes and I have to either forcequit or manually remove the ipod.
Giving up, I figured I'd just load the songs onto the iPod from the PC. So I reformated/restored for Windows and synced up the iPod. The first error message I got was:
"The drive is not ready for use; its door may be open. Please check drive F: and make sure that a disk is inserted and that the drive door is closed."
I unplugged the ipod and there was only one song on it. I plugged it back in and it started to sync only to give me this error message a few minutes in.
"Attempting to copy to the disk <name of ipod> failed. An unkown error occurred (-53)."
Now iTunes on the PC is frozen and I'm really confused and don't know what to do. She has an older iPod (3rd generation, dock connector) that has given her some problems over the years but nothing like this. Unfortunately, she's traveling tomorrow and really wants her iPod and music with her. At this point, neither the Mac nor the PC will load the music onto the iPod. What do we do? Also, she has Applecare for her new Mac, but it looks like the issue is with the iPod, not the computer - if I call them will they help me fix it? Should I bother trying to bring the iPod and the Mac into the local store?

Now it gets even weirder.
I tried plugging the iPod into a third computer (PC) which belongs to someone else. The computer restores, syncs and loads all of his songs onto her iPod perfectly fine.
The only thing that makes sense is that there's somethng about one or more of her songs that's causing this problem. Is there anyway for me to find out which songs are doing this?
