Ipod owners law s

I'm surprised I haven't seen any posts about the Ipod owner's battery life/replacement law suit.

Do a search and you'll find several.

  • Ipod nano 2 g has error message The ipod owners ipod cannot be updated....

    My Ipod has been working great until now. When I update it in Itunes I get the message The iPod "Owners IPod" cannot be updated. The required folder cannot be found. My itunes has 220 songs but the ipod has 90. I can still add new songs though. I have reset. Uninstalled itunes and the ipod software. Tried to wipe out the ipod with the updater software but I get the message can't mount ipod. I have tried to chage the ipod to a disk drive to erase but it will not. I have unchecked all songs, erased photo files. Tried the Apple's 5 R's. Nothing works. Now trying to reach Apple or someone to help is very hard. .................Jeff

    there are a lot of different FM trasmitters.. My choice would be a kensington or belkin.. I have both and they work well.. Before you buy one in the description of the product it should tell you what model they will work with.. just make sure it will work with your nano.. do a google search on "fm transmitter UK" Im sure you will get a ton of options.

  • HT1351 Whenever I try and eject my iPod from iTunes after it is done syncing a box pops us that says "The iPods' 'Owners iPod' cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application".

    Whenever I try and eject my iPod from iTunes after it is done syncing a box pops us that says "The iPods' 'Owners iPod' cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application".iTunes is the only thing open on my computer so I don't understand what this could mean.  If anybody could help me out that would be great. Thanks

    Hello, cgtyoder. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Try resetting the iPod and power cycling your Mac to see if this message disappears.  If the issue persists you may need to restore the device to factory settings.  The article below will walk you through both these steps.

  • HT201210 Having trouble restoring my ipod touch 4 gen. When i click restore i get an error message saying that " problem downloading software for the "ipod owner's ipod"

    When i try to restore my ipod i recieve an error message saying that "problem downloading softwar  for the ipod owner's ipod. error (-23) Please help i need to restore because my daughter somehow set a passcode lock on it and didnt know it and does not know passcode.

    There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone (or another iOS device)
    See the steps below for error codes 3000-3999.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • "Bloody iPod Owners" re

    Alright Jason, you found TWO instances where people had faulty iPods. You posted that like it's a major problem. But uh.. have you ever happened to read this very forum? There are what? How many posts about headphone jack problems with Zen players here? Exactly.
    In one thread, theres 329 posts. A vast majority of those are individual people saying they have a problem with a headphone jack with either a Zen Xtra or a Zen Micro or an occasional problem with another Zen.
    So, comparing Zen's and iPods, theres not even % as many people having headphone jack problems. Think about that.. not even % as many people are having headphone jack problems with their iPod as people are having with Zens. And think about how many MORE people have iPods. Millions upon millions more people own iPods than Zens, yet not even % as many iPod owners have headphone jack problems as Zen owners.
    So before you go posting things and acting like iPods have the same problems, you really need to look at the facts.
    You also need to realize that one of those posts was written by a person who had a faulty iPod FROM THE BEGINING. It wasn't a design flaw that caused mass failures after everyday use.

    MasterOfStorms,
    The thread was closed as it was turning into a flame war, it wasn't an invite to start the topic up elsewhere to continue it.
    This topic is closed. We're not going to get into detail on discussing Apple products and problems they may or may not have, that is not what this forum is for.

    <B>PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (Reuters) -- Apple Computer Inc. faced a lawsuit that alleged the company knew its Nano portable music player was defecti've but still decided to press on with the product's release last month.</B>
    The credit card-sized Nano, which replaced the best-selling iPod mini and is smaller than the traditional iPod, met with rave reviews. But users quickly started grumbling on Internet message boards that the device's screen scratches too easily.
    Consumers have filed a proposed class action lawsuit in San Jose, California, on Wednesday, claiming the Nano scratched "excessi'vely during normal usage" and alleged Apple released the product knowing the problems and led consumers to believe it was durable -- forcing them to shoulder the cost of replacing defecti've music players.
    The complaint blamed the Nano's defecti'veness on the film of plastic resin that covers it to protect it from damage. Previous versions of the iPod were coated with thicker and stronger resin, the suit said.
    "Rather than admit the design flaw when consumers began to express widespread complaints ... Apple concealed the defect and advised class members that they would need to purchase additional equipment to prevent the screen from scratching excessi'vely," the complaint said.
    A spokesman for Apple, whose main offices are in Cupertino, California, could not be reached for comment.
    Sales of iPods account for nearly a third of Apple's total sales, and the company has a share of about 75 percent of the U.S. market for all MP3 players. The company's shares, which have soared thanks to overwhelming demand for iPods, hit a new 52-week high of $56.98 on Friday.
    Apple admitted in late September that some iPod Nano screens cracked too easily, but blamed that separate issue on vendor quality problems and said it had occurred in less than one-tenth of percent of the Nano sold at that point.
    The plaintiff named in the California lawsuit, Jason Tomczak, bought a Nano in September that he said quickly became so scratched he could not view the screen.
    Apple replaced that device because of a battery problem, but the complaint said the replacement Nano also became so scratched that Tomczak decided to return it.
    The lawsuit will require a judge to grant it class action status. Because Tomczak and other complainants were required to pay a $25 fee to return the Nano, the suit seeks the return of those fees along with the device's original cost and several other forms of damages.
    The suit, filed by law firm Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, said Apple has "failed to remedy the problem in any meaningful way" and claimed Apple deleted postings on its Web site that relate to the scratching problem

  • 5g video ipod owners: Don't upgrade to iTunes 7.0 (or 1.2)

    If your ipod (mine is a 5th. gen 60g version), is working well, (as mine was...), then, by all means, do NOT update to iTunes 7.0, (or the iPod to 1.2)
    The iTunes update seems to be o.k., but the 1.2 iPod updater totaly messed up my pod!
    Cannot select menu items, if I try, the iPod freezes. Try to play a song or playlist, it freezes. (It maybe will play one song first, but usually, it just locks up.
    ...resets don't fix it, restoring doesn't work either.
    My iPod is now a very expensive paperweight. ;-(

    Update: Over the last two days I have tried everything I have been able to find on possible solutions to this problem, with nothing but frustration resulting.
    (none of the possible sugestions came from Apple Support.)
    The numbers of users having problems seem to be staggering, based on the number of posts in this forum alone. (I wonder how many never even get here.)
    It's time for Walter Mossberg at the New York Times recieved a copy of all these posts.
    I don't have a problem with the fact that this has happened, (althought I wonder how much beta testing was actually done.), but the lack of any kind of acknowledgement from anyone at Apple is disturbing, at best.
    It's time to step up, Apple, these aren't some scratches we are dealing with here, this time.
    I don't mind paying a premium for these typs of products, as Apple usually does a great job, worth the extra cash. But, they are "dropping the ball" on this one.
    Please just acknowlege our problem, our pain, let us know you care and are working on a solution.

  • Some questions about features for a new iPod owner?

    I really enjoy my iPod and have a few questions that I have not seen any posts about. Can I trouble some of you fine folks for some help? I want to list some features that I have no idea what they do. Can you either direct to some information or give me the hands on experience with the feature? Many thanks to anyone who can help in advance!
    1. Shuffle - Songs and Album... does this work in all of the Music settings (i.e. Playlist, Artists, Albums, Compilations, etc.) even though I would assume that it would only work in Songs and Albums.
    2. Repeat - One and All... does this work in all of the Music setting like listed above?
    3. What are compilations?
    4. What is Sound Check?
    5. What is EQ and is there a breakdown for the settings of Treble, Mid, and Bass somewhere of these?
    6. Can I view my albums via their covers to choose the Album (I am a visual person and find that easier to remember the CD)?

    AFAIK the Sound Check doesn't affect battery life.
    'Compilations' is a tag in iTunes, which, when marked, groups the album together by album, instaed of by artist.
    Useful for, well, compilations, such as soundtracks, where there are a bunch of artists.
    For example, the soundtrack for O Brother Where Art Thou has 19 songs, by about 15 artists. If I want to find all of them together, Instead of going to Artists>Norman Blake and finding only two songs, I go to Compilations>O Brother... and find the whole album.
    While you can techincally go to 'Albums' for the same effect, it's nivce to group them together.
    Also, if you do have a lot of compilations, you'll be happy to clear your Artist list of aritst with only one song.

  • Is it possible to manage 3-4 iPods from the same laptop?  Each iPod owner needs their own iTunes account, correct?

    I've used an iPod for many years, and now that my kids are old enough to enjoy their own, with their own music, I want to to buy each one their own shuffle.  I just don't know if it's possible to manage all of these different music libraries from one computer.  Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks, Jim

    Entirely possible.  If you create a different Windows login for each user, then everyone will have a distinct library by default, located in:
    C:\Users\user1/Music\iTunes
    C:\Users\user2/Music\iTunes
    etc.
    In this scenario it is a good idea to disable fast user switching in iTunes, so that you can't have multiple users logged in and running iTunes at the same time.  This is probably the best solution, especially as it provides the simplest upgrade path to the time when your children have their own computers.  The only real downside here is that it is a little more difficult (and not automatic) to share music between the libraries.
    You can also have multiple iTunes libraries under a single Windows login, though this is a little more awkward to set up and use - everyone will need to hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes and select his/her library based on the location of the appropriate iTunes database file.
    Last option would be to have one Windows login, one iTunes library, and just use different playlists associated with each user's iPod.

  • New iPod owner - Quick question about iTunes and iPod

    Hey everyone. I just bought the new 5.5G black 30GB.
    I have a lot of untagged MP3s, but my boyfriend tagged most of them. After I overwrite the untagged files (but with the same filename) with the tagged files, now that I have all of my music on iTunes and on my iPod, how do I get iTunes to do a mass refresh and see all the tags, so it can show them properly and update the iPod accordingly?
    Also, my new ipod keeps crashing! It keeps freezing when I hit the skip button or try to do something when it's loading a video or a song. It just seems really unstable. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

    oh sorry i misunderstood you
    this is from i-tunes help - is this any good
    Song titles look scrambled after importing from another application
    If a song's title and information don't appear correctly, the file was probably created using a program that stores information in a different way from iTunes. You may be able to resolve the problem by reversing the Unicode characters in the song tags.
    To reverse the Unicode characters:
    Select the song and choose Advanced > Convert ID3 Tags.
    To select multiple adjacent songs, press the Shift key while you click the song titles. To select multiple songs that are not adjacent, press the Control key and click.
    Click Reverse Unicode.
    To change the information back to what you had before, choose Reverse Unicode again.

  • Movie downloads for Canadian Ipod owners

    Okay I may not be the smartest apple in the cart but I have been trying for a week to be able to purchase and download movies and Tv shows to my computer and then to my Ipod. My husband bought me a 5th Generation so that I could download kids shows and ammuse my son on our frequest flights . Every site I have been on , Itunes, Amazon Video etc etc say I cannot download movies as I am in Canada??????? Can anyone help me out here. If not we just wasted 500.00!!! Thanks!

    Have you heard of this technology called bit torrent?
    Really amazing what the human brain can conceive of-a program that downloads large files(ie. TV shows, movies,etc.) from a number of distributed hosts, each with a portion or whole of the file.
    Amazing.
    One could almost assume you could download content for the iPod from somewhere other than the iTunes store, from somewhere like iPodnova.TV or something like that.

  • First time IPOD owner and do not understand "itunes media"(question inside)

    Hello,
    Just moved from Zune to the IPod, and I have a 120GB Ipod, I have about 12,000 songs I want to transfer and everyitme I try and transfer I get this message "There is not enough space on itunes media, you need an additional 28GB to copy these files" What does that mean??? I even tried half the songs and got this message. THis is really fustrating, can someone please help! Just want my songs on my ipod, nothing fancy. Thank you.

    First of all, there is no upper limit on the amount of space, or number of songs you can have "in iTunes".
    I'm curious though about the message Ther is not enough space on itunes media, because the music is not on or even "in" iTunes, so I don't really understand why it states "on Tunes".
    If you let iTunes place the music (the media) where it wants, it's in the iTunes Media folder or in the iTunes/iTunes Music folder. What iTunes (the programme) does is index, or catalogue the music, remembering where the music is actually stored.
    So a message saying that there isn't enough storage space has to be referring to the hard drive where that folder is located. Where is that? Is it on the computer, or an extrenal hard drive? Is the drive full or nearly full?
