Ipod Self-destruct mode.

Please correct me if Im wrong :
Isnt Ipods supposed to be portable devices?
Doesnt that include taking advantage of the Ipod probably everywhere?
Why Apple reduced the original 4th gens volume? To fit into pockets they said.
Well all of these are Bul.t, have you ever tried to put your fifth gen ipod into your jeans pocket? When you get it out you barely recognise it!!!! FULL of scratches.
Even when you are using the supplied cover, the scratching generation processes still goes on
Come on people are not stupid Apple we know why you did that money.. $£ , CASES, polishing clothes, shine giving materials , we are talking a lot o money here.
An dont tell me that.. the materials which the ipods are made are so sensitivecome on See laptops, palmtops , mobile phones.. Have you ever seen any one SO sensitive?
Fact : Apple said we reduced the Ipods initial cost yes you did.. but what is the price??? Cases, accessories? Clothes? Ipod socks pleaseeeee who do you thing you are fooling? We are educated people we know how the world works.
Some one inside apple said leave to protective layer on HAHAHA is that you call it, I call it plastic junk I use this to cover my food in the fridge please I was expecting some thing more clever of you guys.
Anyway I could continue to say more and more but I thing you get the point I thing that the new ipods should have an expire date
And the shelf destruct sequence goes on and on and on and on
A not so happy customer.

There seems to be a common misunderstanding that iPods have to be connected to "authorized" computers. They do not.
You can use an unlimited number of iPods on an unlimited number of computers. No "authorization" is necessary.

Hello,

Ive tried holding the Home button and the Lock button for 10 seconds but it goes right back to the restore screen. Plus it won't connect to itunes now so i cant restore it with the computer. Please Help
NEVER MIND THIS PROBLEM WAS SOLVED!!!!

ERROR (1)
- Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore

- Try on another computer
- Try another cable
- Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:

Does Premiere Pro support a "self-record" mode?

Does Premiere Pro support a "self-record" mode? It would record a new video with the source being what you are previewing, in terms of "animation" rather than in terms of the quality seen on screen. I often like to make humorous effects by dragging the time indicator back and forth, and have to resort to recording my own screen while in semi-fullscreen mode, then import that video and crop out the chrome. This obviously is not optimal and results in significant quality loss. Does Pr itself have such a feature built in?
I doubt it does, but it would be extremely useful.

Ditto what mark said. The intended purpose of the project manager is basically to do just as you said. It was a great solution for anyone that wanted to store the few usable minutes of their media and were confident in just discarding the rest. The problem is that, as Mark said, it doesn't handle the trimming of all common file types these days. That's because, in video, 'destructive' editing is always a matter of re-exporting edited versions and project manage simply cannot export every format to any format. The original files are never actually being trimmed down, you're just getting new versions to replace the old ones with. This represents another drawback in the form of generational loss. That's why the Project Trimmer many not be the ideal solution for you even if it is able to trim all applicable formats for you.
I tend to agree with Jim and thing that the better way to go is with Prelude. With that app, you can log what you want before hand and then capture (or, more accurately, 'Ingest') just those parts from the start. Still, it might be a good idea to save the original footage on memory card(s), hard drive(s)s (or , dare I say, tape(s_?). That way if you find out later that you didn't capture (or ingest) all of what you wanted, you can always go back and get it. Also you'll have an additional backup which could easily be re-captured from the original source if you've save the prelude project(s).

ITunes has detected an iPod in restore mode

I keep getting an error message stating that "iTunes has detected an iPod inn recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." when I connect it to my PC running iTunes 7.0. When I restore it to the factory settings, I still get that same error message.

YES YES YES - it's the infamous drive letter mapping issue! I have seen this several times and helped a few people fix it. In the OLDER versions of iTunes, the behavior was that the iPod simply didn't appear in iTunes. Much less destructive than restoring the iPod only to find that it just keeps popping up with the same message! The BEST way to solve this problem is NOT to unplug/unmap other drives! It is to REASSIGN the drive letter of the iPod to an UNUSED letter. In Windows this is done in the Disk Management utility (right-click My Computer and select Manage from the menu, then go to disk management and right-click on the iPod and assign it a new drive letter!) Windows will REMEMBER the drive letter you assigned so that you can keep all of your mapped drives and other external drives plugged in and all will work TOGETHER! If only the error message in iTunes was a little better. It could say something like, "Your iPod is either in recovery mode, or is sharing a drive letter with another device on your system..." Something like this would help people at least TRY to diagnose the problem before simply restoring the iPod, which, as it turns out, is TOTALLY UNNECESSARY!!

ITunes LP: "Before I Self Destruct" by 50 Cent

hey I need help with something. Did anyone get 50 Cent's new album with the itunes lp?My problem is that i went into the package contents of the itunes lp file to take out the 2 movie files to i could put them into the actual movies section of itunes and not in the lp cuz the lp can't be played on my ipod. so my problem is that i moved the files not copied them and renamed them in itunes before i realized i had moved them not copied them. I then copied them and put them in the lp file, but the problem is that i had renamed them, so now when i go to play them in itunes lp, it won't play because its like looking for the file video named something and it can't find it because its renamed.
So, my question is can you tell me the original name of the file for the "before i self destruct" movie in the itunes lp file?
the file is under: User> Music> iTunes> iTunes Music> 50 Cent> Before I Self Destruct> Before I Self Destruct - iTunes LP.itlp > "Show Package Contents"> Videos
Can you please help me with this. thanks

ok so i just figured it out
step 1 double click on the HD icon go to the "places" section on the left hand side click on "Music".
step 2 your iTunes folder should appear click on it keep scrolling down until you see the "iTunes Music" folder all your 50 music should be in separate folders look for the Before I Self Destruct folder in there should be a folder with all the MP3 songs and one that is entitled (Before I Self Destruct iTunes LP)
step 3 copy that file make sure you put .MP4 at the end of the title once you do that it will automatically break down that file into photos and the original mp4 videos just drag those file into your ipod
hope this helps.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?

Solution for Windows users who repeatedly get "iPod in Recovery Mode".

If you are repeatedly receiving this message using iTunes 7 on Windows when connecting your Nano (it may be with other models, I can't test that), Windows may be assigning a drive letter that is already in use. This is particularly common for networked computers with mapped drives. For example, when I connected my Nano, I got the message above. No matter how many times I tried to restore it, I received the same message. Turns out, Windows was mapping the Nano to F:, which was already a mapped network drive in Windows. This is NOT a bug with the Nano or iTunes, it could happen to pretty much any removable drive. To fix this:
- Open Disk Manager (Right click on 'My Computer', select 'Manage', then select 'Disk Management' under 'Storage').
- Locate your iPod and right click on it. Select 'Change Drive Letter and Paths'.
- Remove the current drive letter assignment by clicking 'Remove'.
- Add a new drive letter assignment by selecting 'Add', and choosing an available drive letter that is not currently in use, and is not being used by another removable device.
On my computer, I have several removable drives, as well as several network mapped drives. My USB backup drive is B:, my thumb drive is T:, and now my iPod is I:. I don't know why I didn't think of this solution sooner.
If you need any help, reply here. I'll see what I can do.

3. Connected to itunes
4. Pressed restore and update ipod
Update successful and ipod taken out of recovery mode

"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode" restore and doesn't work

I'm trying to put my music on my new iPod and keep getting this error message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore the iPod before it canb work with iTunes". I click "restor to factory settings" and then the same error message comes up when it's complete. iTunes does recognize my iPod, it just doesn't seem to realize that I've already done what it's telling me to do. Going around and circles and can't get my music on...:( Help, please?
Thanks!

ITunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode loop

Hello,
I have an Ipod 5 and during update of the OS to the latest, the process got an error.
No my Ipod is in recovery mode. Everytime I download the Update (Restore and update) there is this constant pop up that comes up (iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode).
I click ok everytime but then after 5h download there is the Processing file part which when I click ok on the pop that constantly keeps coming after some it, all stops and I need to restart the process again for 5h. Keeps going on like that.
Its really annoying stuck in an update like that which only a minor patch. I can't use my ipod for days now.
Could you please help.
Thanks
Jérémie

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
