IPod support for folders?

Over the weekend, I updated my 40G iPod photo to version 1.2 (having had iTunes updated to 5.0.1.4 for a while). I also noticed that iTunes had added a folders feature, which I'd really been hoping to see implemented. Most of the music I have is classical, and I'm finally able to organize the music exactly the way I like (with a folder for each composer, containing playlists for each individual composition). However, after spending quite a while getting everything squared away in iTunes and synching my iPod, I discover that the iPod doesn't appear to support folders at all. Additionally, any playlists that were inside folders were ignored in the synch as well, leaving my with a "playlists" directory containing all 5000+ tracks listed individually, totally without the hierarchy I'd set up in iTunes.
Of course, I can still use the other directories, but does anyone know if I'm either missing something here, or if this discrepency between iPod and iTunes functionality might be adressed at some point?
Anyhow, hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any help.

I did the same thing last night. I used the folders to create a quite ingenious organizational system and the folders dont appear on the ipod like they do on itunes. It was very frusterating after all the time i spent.
Is there an option than can toggle them on somewhere? What can we do?

WMF Support for iPod anyone?

Hey,
Am I the only one, who would like to play wmf files with iPod?
IMHO they sound better than mp3 to my ears. I know, I know, this is very personal statement and you are free to disagree, but I'd just prefer wmf over mp3.
I am not an iPod owner yet, but I consider buying one.
Although I am impressed with iPod - the slick design, UI, etc are all unrivaled, the lack of wmf support is THE major drawback, which makes me look at other players. iPod is the only player which does NOT support wmf. I ripped most of my cd collection to wmf, so conversion to mp3 would be a pain.
Does anybody know if Apple might add support for wmf (or other formats, like flac, ape) anytime soon?
Sorry, AAC/AIFF is not an option either.
PC Windows XP Pro

if you read the tech specs for the 5g ipod link below
http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html
under audio support its as follows "AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Music Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3 and 4), Apple Lossless, WAV, AIFF"
THere is no WMA format suported. If you look further on video support (just as a notice) there is no WMA format supported. "H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats"
I am sure but dont know of any WMA file converter. And since you state AAC/AIFF is out of the quesiton well then see on converting the files to MP# sicne thats more universal. Why should apple ipod support for windows media files. when microsoft is so rankerous in being so proprietary on their software as well. I am sure you can find a converter and i recommend googleing for such info. But i highly doubt apple will add support for a proprietary file format that comes from a competing software company. Im not bashing jsut making a real observation. =)

Support for iTunes folders?

Anyone know when Apple will support iTunes folders on an iPod?
It was a great feature addition with iTunes allowed me to organize my music in a folder structure so that, for example, I could put all Beatles music together. Unforunately, none of this carries over to the iPod, so you end with with lots of duplicate playlists that say "Greatest Hits". Yes, I suppose I could back through and change all my playlists under folders to say something like "Beatles - Greatest Hits", but that just defeats the purpose of the folder structure.
What good is having folders in iTunes if they don't carry over to your iPod? Anyone know when Apple is going to fix this?

I'm getting a DNLA error on the upper right hand corner of the SP3 screen.
Also my art work is there on iTunes but a lot is missing with the Media Hub.
I also think for a product to be called "The Media Hub" that the option to play your music should be robust.
As most people by this to run Itunes I'm surprised that the setup is not better.
The conflict with their shadow software and what it takes on from a "personal" folder is nuts.
Why do I want my word documents and gif and jpeg files in my documents folders mixed in with my Photos that I want to view.
Now the Media Hubbhas multiple folders and directors and content I don't want on it.
It also now has multiple instances of Itunes and it still doed nor get iTune "right"
I could have saved $350.00 by just placing a hard drive with a CAT5 cable to the back of my router, What a mess!!! Who has the time for this????

After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a few weeks ago, I took it out of the car and it no longer works. Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support. Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car. But wont work anywhere now

After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a for the last few weeks, I took it out of the car and it no longer works. Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support. Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car. But won't work anywhere now. I tried re-setting but has not worked. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

Why no firewire support for new iPods?

If firewire is so much better and faster why did the geniuses at Apple decide to discontinue support for it? It took me over 30 minutes to upload music & videos to my new iPod w/ USB, which would have taken 5-10 minutes with Firewire. I don't get it!

They did it because they obviously didn't see the need for it.
Either you have a usb 1.1 port, or have about 500mb of music. The speeds aren't that different between USB2.0 and FW. In fact, i think USB is faster. Stop complaining here, this is only a user-user support forum.

Russian language support for iPod 10 GB (firewire) ?

Is there a Russian language support for that iPod (not iTunes, for the device itself)?
Thanks

You should ask this in the forum for that device, which is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=151
You should also identify your ipod more exactly if possible. Here is a chart:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688
Then you can probably find the tech specs via Apple or Google. Here is one example (Russian not supported).

Greek language support for ipod touch?

why the greek language is not included in the supported languages for ipod touch?
why there is no greek keyboard nor a speller?
is it so hard to do it?
the greek language is not important?
as fur as i know apple has also a market for ipod in greece as well as other products...
but no greek language support in the ipod... why?

yes this is also true,
as fur as it goes for displaying text in greek the results are pretty good.
but when it come to writing...this is a totally different scenario...
unfortunately you have many other options apart from writing greek of curse.
to conclude and this is something that keeps bugling me,
maybe I am wrong,
but i think that the OS the ipod touch runs is based OSX 10.4 (tiger),
if not mostly the same OS.
if the above assumption is correct in some whey..and by having in mind that the support for many languages is already realized for the above OS
is interesting to notice that the support of this already realized languages is limited in the platform of ipod touch ( concerning writing and spelling).
how knows...

In israel there is an hebrew support for ipod touch 1g.

I would like to know if it is going to be an HEBREW support in version 2.2 in ipod touch 2g.
You are just talking to other users like yourself here. Nobody can possibly know the answer, and Apple itself never provides advance info on such feature additions.

Not from Apple.

Is Apple discontinuing support for older iPods in iTunes 12?

Suddenly my husbands old iPod mini is not recognized despite cable changes, restart of iTunes, and computer. Can get it to recognize my classic iPod. He has not done a update of this mini in a longtime I think. I followed all the hints Apple posts to get an unrecognized device to register...this is on a Mac using Yosemite up to date on everything

HT1238 I can't run iPod utility for Windows in my Windows 8 . does this apps support windows 8 ?

I can't run iPod utility for Windows in my Windows 8 . does this apps support windows 8 ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iPod Utility for Windows hasn't been updated for a long time, so it's probably not supported in Windows 8. Have you tried to run it in compatibility mode?

FTP app and Flash support for Ipod touch -- coming soon?

I'd like two things for my ipod touch that I don't have now:
* an FTP app, to enable me to update web sites on the go
* browser support for web sites that use Flash
Can anyone offer an informed opinion of when the FTP app and/or Flash browser support will be available? And am I being impatient, as the SDK is still so new?
A related question: what's the best place of staying current with what's available for the ipod touch?

This is a user-to-user site so no one really has an "informed" opinion and speculation is prohibited.
You are being impatient because applications will be distributed through the new Apps Store which won't be available until June. That will also be a good place to see what is available.
Flash availability for the iPhone/Touch is in limbo currently, until Adobe/Apple can come to some kind of understanding I would not look for it on the iPhone/Touch.
Do a search for "Flash" over in that Search Discussions box to the right and you can catch up on the discussions regarding Flash.

Highly Annoyed: No iTunes Support for iPod Nano 5's (new) Recording Ability

Re iPod Nano 5th: does anyone else out there find it to be a p-ss-off that, now that it records videos, voice and steps (well-done!), the iTunes application gives little or no support for any of them? Clear to me: iPod WAS just a playback machine, and iTunes fed it the media, one-way only. But the Nano 5th is now a 3-part recorder, and is Apple going to change iTunes or supplement it to make it a two-way application? Disk use doesn't cut it - and often conflicts with use of the iTunes Sync button (which I use for my songs library). Cases-in-point: I've taken camera videos that I can no longer find on my iPod, even though their files are still in the iPod DCIM folder! For Voice 'memos' (great for recording just about any dialogue or talk), I have first to make sure that the playlist "Voice Memos" in my iTunes library has the same 5 recordings I have on and want to keep on my iPod before I do a manual Sync to transfer the CD songs I've just added to iTunes and want on my iPod. I have spent hours trying to establish a 'disk use' method get back a recording that's disappeared from the iPod's Recordings folder (done by iTunes without my say-so).
Because I'm new to using iPod and iTunes, I've turned to the 104-page User Guide for the Nano 5th. Is anyone else annoyed that it's upbeat language completely skirts Apple's gaping hole of incompleteness in software support for the new recording functions of Nano 5th? Is it dishonest? Pity the Apple underlings forced to write it, knowing Apple iPod execs f--ked up by failing to develop iTunes/software support in tandem with the new iPod wizardry. Back to my question: is this bugging anyone else, and do you have any insight to lend me?
McGoosteraneous ly (a stupid name for an unstupid guy)

I will check out Apple Knowledge Base though. URL is?
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search
*The Apple staff are unlikely to help me with "all my issues"* if they lead me thru indirect ways to manage camera videos and recordings and not thru dedicated software that Apple has overlooked to develop along with the Nano 5th.
You will not know this until you get there. If you do not want to march on down to the store then call iPod support.
"Complaining" in these forums is falling on deaf ears. Apple will not respond nor do they read these postings because these are user-to-user forums where everyday folk post questions and offer answers to each other.
If you have a problem with the way Apple has intergrated the iPod Nano with iTunes, post them on Apple's Product Feedback website.

Support for iPod with Adobe DPS

Hello:
Is it possible to use DPS on an iPod Touch just like it is an iPhone? Maybe it works but the question goes if Adobe support this device.
Saludos,

For Single Edition, no. Single Edition is iPad only.
For multi-folio viewers, here's info from a help article: "The iPhone 3GS, 4, and 4S models as well as the iPod Touch (Generation 4 and later) are supported for DPS. The iPhone 3G is not supported."
