IPOD Photo 30 GB and Volvo installed adapter

The iPOD adapter was installed by the Volvo dealer when we purchased the car in 2006. It has stopped working .... just blinks constantly. I took it back to the dealer. They tested it and it worked with one of the service manager's iPOD. My daughter plugged in her iPOD shuffle and it worked. My iPOD Photo however no longer works. Any suggestions?

I have a similar question. I have a 3G 10GB iPod that I recently attempted to replace the battery on, which didn't go so well. I'm now in the market for a new one but I'm concerned as I have a myriad of accessories that allow me to play my iPod virtually anywhere. I'm not as concerned with the Monster cable for my home stereo or the radio I have at work because they do not use the "docking port" on the bottom of the iPod. What I am concerned about is the player I have for my car (not sure what brand it is, it was a gift), which is sort of a cradle that holds the iPod, and my Altec Lansing speakers in which my iPod connects the same way. If I buy a new 20GB iPod, will these accessories still work?

Nano iPod photo dock and S video out?

Has anyone with an iPod photo dock slipped their nano into it to see if the photos will display on a TV (attcheed via S-video?)
Since Apple didn't offer a video cable out for nano, I suspect it doesn't output slideshows, but it would be interesting to find out if the video signal gets sent to the dock connector. Easy way to test is to try to send the slide show out to a TV via ths S-video output of the dock.
Any experience out there?

Hi Dave,
No, I did not get a response, but Apple did announce the "Apple iPod Universal Dock" with the release of the new iMac on October 12th (the "one more thing" press conference).
The new dock replaces the old photo dock and supports ALL iPods with dock connector (including the nano and the recently introduced iPod with Video). The new dock retails for the same price as the old photo dock but is more feature rich.
The new photo dock supports slideshows out via S-video, as well as video for the video iPods. It also includes a sensor that works with the same IR remote that ships with the iMac. This remote does NOT come with the dock, but is available as an accessory for the dock for $29. If you are buying the new iMac, there is no need to purchase another remote (unless you tend to misplace remotes
Below is a description of the new dock from Apple's web site. The product doesn't ship for 3 to 4 weeks (as of Oct 23)
Here are some of the things you can do with the Universal Dock:
Connect the Dock to your computer with the cable that came with your iPod, then place your iPod in the Dock to sync and charge the battery. No more reaching behind the computer to plug it in.
Connect the Dock to an electrical outlet using an iPod Power Adapter, then place your iPod in the Dock to charge the battery.
Connect the Dock to a stereo or speakers using an iPod AV Cable or a stereo audio cable to play music from iPod.
Control playback from a distance using the Apple Remote.
Display photos on a TV or other video device using an iPod AV Cable or S-video cable if you have an iPod with a color display.
Display videos on a TV or other video device using an iPod AV Cable or S-video cable if you have an iPod with video capability.
Hope this helps!

IPod Photo 60G and Windows problems

I am unable to connect my Photo 60G iPod to my current computer.
I can connect it successfully to my laptop, so I know that the fault is not with the iPod or the iPod cord. I can connect my daughter's rather elderly 10G iPod to this current machine successfully, so I know it isn't this computer or the iTunes software.
What I can not do is connect the 60G iPod. When I do, the iPod gets the 'Do Not Disconnect' icon going but then computer usually freezes before opening iTunes and I can only sort it out by shutting off the machine. If I open iTunes first and then connect it, the iPod does not show up and sometimes the 'Do Not Connect' icon comes on and sometimes it doesn't.
If I leave iTunes closed, attach the iPod and then try to access it via the iPod updater in the Programs menu, it either freezes the machine as above or it gives an error message saying I need to restore my iPod (which I clearly don't, as not only is it working perfectly, it also connects fine to the laptop.) In all these instances, if I try to eject it from the USB port by clicking on the icon in the tray to bring up the 'eject safely' box, it will bring up the initial box and then freeze before bringing up the second confirmation box. In all these freezes, it ties up the machine so badly I have to turn it off at source. It will not even allow me to close down using Task Manager.
The iPod does generally show up in Windows, if I get that far and it doesn't freeze the machine before. Often it will then freeze the machine if I try to look at it in Device Manager or Windows Explorer.
I have done the following things to resolve the problem:
1) Completely removed iTunes and the iPod Updater (numerous times), cleared out all their crap from the seven zillion places it goes on the machine, and re-installed cleanly using only the most up-to-date downloaded versions of both (plus, of course, have also tried the old versions, just in case.) In all instances, my daughter's small iPod works and mine doesn't.
2) Tried the iPod on every single one of the USB ports on the machine, just in case one wasn't working. (They all are.)
3) Followed the instructions on these two pages on this site to resolve the problem:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
4) I searched Google Groups, where I found a reference to one problem I was having with the iPod updater which said it could be traced to an issue stemming ultimately from Apple's lack of understanding of the Windows platform and that the software couldn't cope with multiple drives or things not being on the C: drive. I do have my hard disk partitioned and formatted as drives C and D with everything defaulting to D. I would have expected Apple to have fixed this problem by now, as the was in March, so I made sure I have only the latest software, but this hasn't made any difference. I also tried specifically installing it to the C section of my drive but this didn't make any difference either. I suspect this may be a red herring, as if it were a genuine issue, I wouldn't expect my daughter's iPod to work either.
I don't want to be confined to only downloading music to my laptop, which is very old and slow and has a small hard disk. The problem seems to be very specific to the iPod 60G and I'm trying to figure out how it is different from the smaller iPod my daughter has and how to resolve it.
Any suggestions?

The battery will not charge eithger. I have left it in a computer and ab outlet charger both for 1 hour, but no juice is going to the iPod. Is the cord dead? Or is the battery messed up? What is going on?

Ipod Photo storage and Windows Files

Slightly technical question: I download photos from my Canon camera (EOS 300D) to my Ipod. Then upload to my computer and a file is created in Windows (My pictures) using the date the photos are taken.
When I want to delete the photos from My Pictures I can delete individual photos but not the whole folder which claims 'cannot delete zb.thumbnail.info:it is being used by another person or program....'
There is no problem with deleting all photos / folders in the ipod.
Is there any camera / computer / ipod techie out there who can suggest a way of deleting these unwanted folders in my computer?

Thanks for the reply. The only problem will be that after a time I will end up with lots of empty folders cluttering up my pictures so it would be nice to get rid of them.
Do you know how to find out what programme it is linked too and if there is a way round it that means I can still delete them?
Best wishes,
Robert

Life of iPod photo and where to sell?

I want to sell my iPod photo while it's still alive. I have had it since December 2005, making it 1 year and 2 months old. I would like to know how long, typically, iPod photos last, and also where would be a good place to sell one?
Gateway; Windows XP iBook G4; Mac OS X Panther

Normally, iPod would last couple of years, my 3G iPod (purchased in 2003?) still running fine without any problem, however, it is probably the time to have battery replacement.
If you would like to sell your iPod, you can try eBay.

IPod Photo still rules! But, itunes doesn't recognize it any more...

Hi iPod Photo fans and experts,
I have an iPod Photo 30 GB model that I just restored, and now I can't get it to show up in the iTunes source list. For the record I am running Windows XP SP2, and iTunes 10. And, I have tried this on two different machines with this same setup with the same result.
The weird thing is, after restarting windows, when I plug in the iPod Photo, the ipod will open itunes automatically. But, itunes will not recognize it. itunes still recognizes my other ipod classic with no problem.
The ipod photo shows up as a usb drive, and is recognized in Windows explorer.
The ipod itself is running V 1.2.1.
I tried the 10 steps listed in the apple support section related to this issue, including reinstalling itunes. I also tried plugging in the ipod in disk mode.
Is there anything else I can try? Is there any way to update the ipods firmware without itunes?

Whenever I plug in my ipod the window comes up asking what I want to do with my music. When I click Itunes it says: IPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close.
Did this start happening after you updated to Service Pack 3?
If so, open your Device Manager. (Right-click "My Computer", select "Manage", click "Device Manager".) Is your Device Manager currently completely blank?
When Device Manager is blank after an SP3 install, getting Device Manager displaying correctly again should also fix the "iPod Service Module" crash.
For a manual method of fixing the SP3 problem, see the following Microsoft document:
Device Manager and Network Connections may be blank after you install Windows XP Service Pack 3
For an automated tool for fixing the problem, see the following Symantec document:
Problems occur after installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 or Windows Vista Service Pack 1 with a Norton 2008 product installed

IPod Photo Being USELESS

Ok, here is my story...
I bought a 60 Gig iPod Photo in June of 2005, thus the two year warrentee has now expired. I now have about my 7th or 8th iPod, because I have sent mine away soo many time for service. What is up with that? And now, out of nowhere, my iPod has done it again, the sad iPod icon strikes AGAIN... and there is nothing I can do now, because I am not covered. Thankfully I just ordered a new MacBook Pro for school and I decided to get the 80 Gig Video iPod with it, because I KNEW this would happen to my Photo one again. I am so frustrated with the iPod right now that it is SICK... like... does anyone know what is wrong! I always take care of my iPod... disconnect properly, etc. Is it because I have nearly 60 gigs of stuff on it...?? Can the HD not handle it all?! Would that make a difference?! I don't know... I am just wondering if ANYONE else has had this problem... I mean, sending my iPod away to get a new one has become nearly a monthly thing... not sure why... it is so odd... these things just freeze up and there is nothing you can do... once you get that sad iPod symbol it's jsut time to say some curse words and head to Apple Support... only now I have NOTHING to turn to... because my Apple Care is expired... does anyone know even how much it costs to replace it if you're not covered...?? Probably a lot... and probably not worth my money if I have a video one on the way.... Any input from anyone...??

There are many reasons your iPods are sad:
You may have:
-corrupt files on it
-a bug/virus on it (even though, it is not likely if you use a Mac)
-installed 3rd party software unapproved by Apple (e.g. iPod Linux)
-placed your iPod in an unsafe environment (e.g. hot temperature, like a parked car...well your in Canada so I don't know about that)
I had an iPod photo 40GB, and it erased itself after about half a year of using it as a backup hardrive (I used like 37GB of it). So, it is possible that too much space is taken. If you are constantly accessing large files (like I was - files over 1-2GB like movies) it may just say to itself "I've had enough!" like mine did.

IPod Photo refuses to sleep when hard drive is spinning

I am own an iPod Photo 60GB running the iPod Software 1.2 (for iPod with color display).
I cannot turn my iPod Photo 60GB off/put it into sleep mode while the hard drive is being accessed or spinning. This normally means that some music is playing, but it also can happen when a track is paused. This issue occurs for both ways to put an iPod into sleep mode: 1)"Sleep" from the menu, or 2)holding the play/pause button for a few seconds. Attempting either of these methods of turning my iPod off/putting it to sleep while the hard drive is spinning results in the iPod NOT going to sleep. When I select the "Sleep" item from the menu, I can hear the "click" sound, so I know the selection of that menu item is being detected by my iPod.
Generally speaking, this issue happens when I have just removed my iPod from being docked with my computer, and it starts playing a track because I hit the play button accidentally while disconnecting the iPod. Usally the first thing I want to do is put the iPod to sleep, because I am going somewhere and don't want to use that battery when I'm not listening to it.
My workaround: If I select a track at the end of an album/playlist, and then fast forward to the end of that track so that NO music/sound is playing on my iPod Photo 60GB, and the hard drive is not spinning, then I am able to use the "Sleep" menu item or the hold the play/pause button for a few seconds method. Also, if I let the track play for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute or two until the the hard drive is not spinning anymore, then I am able to put my iPod to sleep. But shouldn't the sleep feature work immediately? None of Apple's documentation or TIL articles suggest otherwise.
This problem is not related to the hold switch being in the "hold" position, as I am trying all of this with the hold switch NOT in the "hold" position. Also, it is not related to the battery power being low, as it happens with a full charge.
I have read threads with a similar issue to mine, however the clarification needs to be made that this "bug", as I'll call it, only occurs when the hard drive is spinning/being accessed. Many people have mentioned troubles with putting their iPod to sleep while listening to a Podcast. This makes sense because some Podcasts are too large to fit into the iPod's RAM cache, and so the hard drive is accessing the Podcast through it's entire length. None of these threads have any useful input from Apple Computer support other than the suggestion of resetting the iPod or restoring the iPod's software. In both cases, the suggested solution DOES NOT fix the problem permanently.
With the hopes that because ALL iPods that Apple sells currently will most likely have this problem, by starting a "new", more detailed thread on this issue, perhaps Apple will get this message to a higher level and actually do something about it.
I would highly suggest if you have an iPod Photo (any size) or one of the "new" color iPod's, that you try seeing if you can put your iPod to sleep when your hard drive is being accessed, and if not - Please Post on this Thread. The more posts that come up on a thread, the more likely that someone with Apple will notice.
Thanks for reading...

To elaborate more on what Rob said. Since the iPod is a hard drive based device(similar to your computer) the disc inside spins and there is a needle to read the data.
What you are suggusting would be like yanking the power cord out of your computer in mid install of something, the chance of data lose is there and if happened enough bad sectors can arise. Should you do that? No, Would you do it? In most cases not.
A bad sector would in most causes make the ipod freeze when accessing it or make it fail its disk check and requiring replacement.

Does any one know of a way to sync movies from my itunes to old Ipod Photo

I have a 60GB Ipod Photo (the old brick type) and I want to use it to view movies that I have on my itunes. I tried to get my movies to sync to ipod photo but it just is not visible on my ipod although there is a playlist called movies in my Ipod Photo. When I connect my Ipod Photo to Itunes, the itunes shows the list of movies I have in my movies folder in my library, but I am unable to neither create a new playlist in ipod photo and copy all my movies nor can I copy all the movies I have in my library to ipod photo. Any simple to comples suggestions are welcome. Is it possible at all to make my ipod Photo store and play movies?

TS1314 how do i open my ipod photo cache

please help how can i open my ipod photo cache when i sync my iphone4 a file appear on my library picture but i can't open it

I'm not sure if you are asking about the iPhone side of the synching, but in MacOS 10.7.x you can reveal the iPod Photo Cache like this:
Your iPod Photo Cache is stored in a folder inside your Aperture Library Package. To view the iPod Photo Cache in the Finder select your Aperture Library, ctrl-click it, press "Show Package Contents" from the opo-up menu. This will open a Finder Window with the folders inside the package, and one of these is the iPod Photo Cache and you can browse it from the Finder. If you need access to this folder from a file chooser dialogue, drag this folder to the Finder sidebar for easy access.
