Ipod to TV questions

Hey for connecting my ipod video to my TV could someone please send me a link to a site with a cord that does work or the official cord from apple beacuse i can not seem to find one
Thank you,
Connor McCabe

You may already have one !
If you have an av multimedia cable that came with a digital camera or camcorder (ie. a 3.5mm multimedia plug to red/white (audio) and yellow (video) aux plugs), then you can use that.
You just need to swap the yellow and red plugs around.

Ipod Lost/stolen question Find Iphone App

My son has had his ipod stolen and I have a question I can not find an answer to in the discussion pages. On his Ipod I have the wifi turned on and ask to join networks turned off. The find my Iphone app does work on his Ipod, but my question is this will the Ipod connect to an open network that it has never seen before with out being told to connect to the network? My son has a passcode on the screen so it is locked. I have also placed it into lost mode from the find my Iphone App. So now I am kinda just waiting for it to go online so the app will locate it. Am I just wasting my time waiting or will the Ipod auto connect to a network by itself?
Eric

Correct
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number

New To iPod...questions

I'm thinking of buying an iPod so I can download and listen to audio books and radio talk shows while my kids are practicing sports. I'm concerned because specs call for "Windows XP Home or Professional SERVICE PACK 2 or later. I have SERVICE PACK 1. I can't update because other software I use requires SERVICE PACK 1. Will I experience problems? Not be able to download? Will my computer not recognise iPod?
Another question. Which iPod is best for me? I rarely listen to music. Will be listening to longer radio shows & audio books requiring larger file capability.
BTW, I have high speed connection, so downloads shouldn't be a problem.

If you are just running McAfee with updates, and you aren't running any other antispyware software, I'll guarantee you your apple cart has lots of vermin in it. I would update your video editing applications (Premiere?), move up to SP2, and start using antispyware software along with your McAfee.
The huge security holes in SP1 far overweigh your concerns with the updates, or, as I said previously, make this an editing station that has no connection to the outside world.

Simple Ipod Nano Music Question

Ok on my nano I have probably 20 cd's loaded on there and they are all nicely organized in the "Albums" Folder on the Ipod.
My question is I have a CD that my brother made for me with all different songs on it and different music groups.
I want to put it on the Nano, How would I do this because I do not want these songs appearing in the "Album" section of the Nano, because these are obvilusly not full albums by one Artist.
Any suggestions or help?

Being its a "Personally created" CD it should show up blank in iTunes. Everything will be blank except the "Name" field, there you will see "Track 1" "Track 2" "Track23" ect ect.
You will have to manually type in the name of each track before importing it

IPod Touch newbie questions - pt. III

Last questions:
1) I downloaded a few apps from the Apps Store and noticed that a few would not load. They kept cycling and cycling and never completed. I then realized that I had to connect to a Wi FI network, which I am lucky enough to have at home: Verizon FIOS.
Could Apple consider marking any Applications for download, free or for sale, that requires a WiFi connection to the web as such? This is very user unfriendly and should be info that we have up front. There may be some people who don't have such WiFi connections at hand depending on where they live and if they download one of the fee based apps and find out they need an internet connection to work it, they will be royally ticked off.
2) The Progression "scrubber bar" - could this be linked to the playback controls in a future firmware update? On my Classic the info was always viewable and one did not have to enable it. I feel it should show automatically and be disabled as an extra step.
By the way, what do they mean by "scrubber?" Nothing is cleaned or erased in my estimation. This is needlessly confusing. Must be a slang term I'm unfamiliar with.
3) Lastly, not sure about this but is there a way to download lyrics for songs into iTunes/iPod? If so I guess I've missed this somewhere. If not it would be a great extra to have on the player, particularly, for jogging one's memory or clarifying words to a new song that some singer mangles badly.
** I would just to to reaffirm that I may seem a little picky in my posts here but considering the complexity and variety of functions this machine can handle, the beauty of design and interaction with the user and other factors, Apple has done a great job developing this PDA/music player/etc. I only wanted to clear up some issues and maybe submit possible improvements for the future.
It's been a long time since I've been so impressed by a new piece of technology and I've been around for some time.

Hi,
1. I kind see your point and it would not be difficult to implement but generally you can tell how an app works and what it will require from the description. I do know some Apps have virtually no description with them which is unforgivable but then I probably wouild not spend money on them in the first place.
2. "Scrub Bar" industry standard term for that particular item, just because it does not erase as in your sense of the word "scrub" does not mean it is wrong. To any Video/Audio tape editors it makes perfect sense.
I don't think having to touch the screen to summon it is that big a deal.
3. To view lyrics on the Touch they need to be added to the track in iTunes.
Right click > get info > lyrics, then cut and paste into the box.
I fear you may well become irritated once more as to see them you will have to summon the "scrub bar" while the track is playing...
Regards,
Dud.

Click wheel ipod and vista question

Hello, I have a 4G click wheel 40 gig ipod (updater version 3.1.1) and I have been using my mothers computer which has windows xp and i haven't upgraded itunes to the version 8. I was given a new computer (32 bit) which is running windows vista basic. My question is am I going to have problems with using vista basic and my older ipod? I have heard that it was turning older ipods into bricks and have been scared to transfer everything over to the new computer.
Also, I am using it with an Alpine KCA-420i (got it the same time as the ipod) in the truck, and it worked great for a while and for the past two years it freezes up, skips songs or just won't work and was wandering if it was due to upgrading itunes? The last time the ipod was updated was for the version it is running now.
I am trying to be careful with my ipod since it got frozen during an ice storm (no electricity for nine days) and left in the truck in bellow freezing temps for a couple of hours. The hard drive didn't appreciate it and is now not really working all that great. clicking, whirling ,grinding noises ya give it a couple good whacks on the back or sides it starts to work again. I read some post on reformatting the disk, last time i tried it the ipod froze but now i am going to try again. I did the diagnostic mode solution and it keeps getting frozen in the HDD scan.
Sorry this is long, but if anybody has any suggestions or answers that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Cinamon

I don't have a guide or anything, but it is almost as easy as replacing it with another hard drive, and there are online guides for doing that, for example
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Device/iPod4th_Generation_orPhoto
Be sure to use those plastic tools. If you use metal ones, you will damage the iPod's case.
And it's a Compact Flash card that I used, not an SD card (which is smaller). Compact Flash cards 16GB and below are getting affordable (if you shop around online), although 32GB and higher ones are still expensive. 4GB cards are very cheap, so you may want to try it with one of those, to confirm it works, since it is always possible there are other problems with your iPod.
1. Get one of these adapters, or equivalent. It's $5 with shipping included.
[CF Compact-Flash SSD To Toshiba IPod 1.8 inch Adapter|http://cgi.ebay.com/CF-Compact-Flash-SSD-To-Toshiba-IPod-1-8-inch-Adapt erW0QQitemZ180303249125QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Cables_Adapters?hash=item29fae93ee5& _trksid=p3911.c0.m14&trkparms=72%3A1240%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A2% 7C294%3A50]
The listing above on eBay is the same item from the same seller as the one I bought.
2. It fits in the iPod case with only one minor mod. There is a pair of jumper pins, used for the master/slave setting; you can see it on the image in the listing (on the left side). You want it with the jumper ON, for the master setting. It sticks out too much, so I just bent the pins 90 degrees with needle nose pliers, and the jumper still fits. If your 4G iPod is the 40GB model, it has the thicker drive and case, so it may fit fine without bending it over.
3. Connect the Compact Flash card to the adapter and connect the adapter where the 1.8-inch hard drive was connected. You need to put something non-conducting between the logic board and the adapter/CF card. A stiff piece of paper (like a business card) would work; I cut a piece of clear plastic from the +impossible to open without hurting yourself+ packaging material that most tech products come packed in these days. Cut it to the right rectangle shape to fit between the logic board and adapter/CF card without sliding around.
4. The adapter plus CF Card is much smaller than the hard drive, so you need to fill that space to avoid it rattling around. Cardboard pieces would work, but if you want to take advantage of the lighter weight, get something light. I used some of that flexible foamy packing sheets that are used to wrap around delicate items for shipping. I cut appropriate size pieces to take up the extra space. I put one layer between the adapter/CF card and the logic board and the rest between the adapter/CF card and the metal half of the case.
Then, you just connect the iPod and run a Restore, as if it was a regular 4G iPod. The three key advantages are better shock resistance, lighter weight, and no drive spin-up delay. The only real disadvantage is lower capacity, unless you get a more expensive CF card with higher capacity.
Note to other readers: I also tried this retrofit with an older 3rd gen iPod. It did not work for me and the parts I used; I could not get the iPod to format or restore with the Compact Flash card inside.

Videos to ipod and miscellaneous questions

Hi
I just bought my 5G video ipod 2 weeks ago. I really like it and it doesnt give me any problems. However i seem to have a number of problems with iTunes:
1) I tried putting all my .avi videos on iTunes and it did not add them and only the .mpg ones were added. I dloaded a 3rd party converter and it worked fine afterwards. But i still wonder why iTunes does not recognize .avi files. does anyone know?
2) on the iTunes music store, i do not see any links to video TV show downloads. I see a link to music videos and trailers but no TV show link. I do believe i have the latest version of itunes as well.
3) this is just a quick question to get to know if my ipod battery is normal. When i play music it gives me about 8-10 hours only. and if i play a video or view photos im assuming the battery wud die in an hour. is that normal?
4) when i connect my ipod to the usb at work (only for charging purposes, i do not have itunes installed at my work pc) it starts charging, but then i get the do not disconnect sign on the ipod. but if i eject the hardware (i know u can if u eject it from itunes, however i do not have itunes installed so i eject it manuallly) it stops charging. Is there any way to listen to music and let it charge at the same time in such a case?
I know these are a lot of questions but i jus hope someone can clarify. will greatly appreciate help
Thanks
Compaq Presario Laptop Windows XP

i can help with 3) and 4)
3)yes it is normal for the battery to act like that. when u listen to music it last about 8-10 hrs depening on hhow mush of the ipod gig uve used up and when u play a video it should last around 3 hrs. and then when u turn it off after a video let the ipod rest for a little bit and u will gain a little bit more of battery life.
4)No there isnt cause when it is hooked up to a computer it automaticly nows that its being connected to a compter so there isnt a way to listen to it while it is charging on a computer. But there is on way to listen and let it charge. u have to by a wall charger and use the usb the ipod came with connect into the charger box and connect the charger box into the wall and plug in ur ipod. When it is charging connected to the wall dont put it on hold and push the main button until the apple logo appears and then u can listen to ur songs while its charging using a wall charger.

Ipod touch internet question???

i have two questions:
1. can you view videos online on a ipod touch that are on websites using safari (excluding youtube)like movie6.net, ign.com, tv-links.co.uk or google video.
2. as well does it cost to use the internet on a ipod touch my friends say that you do have to pay to use it.

In no way are there fees linked to Apple or AT&T for internet use on the iPod Touch. As Trey said, you may have to pay to use a public access point, but this is very rare and costs little, when it costs any at all.

How do I select which music my ipod quiz has questions on?

The music quiz on my ipod nano 4gb only asks questions on albums with one song on them, which is about 5 in 24. It totally ignores all the other albums with more then one song on them. As you can imagine, it gets quite repetitive. I tried deleting all the albums with one song on them, but then the quiz asked questions on music in general. Is there any way I can change which music the ipod music quiz asks questions on?

Ipod nano - few questions - 8gb

I have just bought a new black ipod chromatic 8gb, and just have a few questions.
1. I have one dead pixel in around the middle of the screen, can this be fixed easily??
2. Why doesn't the new nano have music quiz? and is there another way to get it?
3. Is it going to work with wall charger if i decide to get one?
4. how long is the battery meant to last, because different places say different things, is it 24 hours (audio) or 12 hours (audio)?
Thanks

The pixel is dead forever so if you're still in your 30 day grace period, take it back for an exchange.
The music quiz is no longer available, unless you can find it pirated somewhere.
Most European countries, if not all of them have a different shaped wall plug from the US, so no, if you buy a regular charger here, it will not work without an adapter in Italy.
There are multiple universal chargers online and I even found one on the apple internet store, but I have not found one that is compatible with the nano chromatic.
I think your best bet would be to buy the new apple usb wall charger that just came out and buy an adapter for it either here, or in Italy, because odds are there won't be a universal charger compatible with the chromatic released before November.
Heres a pic of a standard Italian wall plug you would find in a kitchen, just for interest's sake (just copy and paste it cuz i cant remember how to make a link)

IPod Touch 2G Questions

I just bought an iPod Touch 2G. It's used, but works great. I have the latest version of iTunes. Here are several questions that I'm having trouble finding the answers to:
1- When you drag your finger UP the screen, it scrolls DOWN (as if the iPod was a book or piece of paper). I prefer thinking of it as a "digital viewer", & would like to be able to drag my finger DOWN the screen to scroll DOWN (like using a mouse-cursor on a scroll-bar). Is there any Setting or Application to do this?
2- The Main Menu has 4 Icons at the bottom for "Music", "Videos", "Safari", & "App Store". Above that are 14 Icons for the Apps & Programs that the iPod came with: "Mail", "Calendar", "Photos", "Contacts", "YouTube", "Stocks", "Maps", "Weather", "Voice Memos", "Notes", "Clock", "Calculator", "Settings", & "iTunes". Is there any way to remove any of these Apps, or at least remove their Icons from the Main Menu? Some of them like "Stocks" & "Voice Memos" I have no use for, & I'd rather not have them clogging up the Main Menu.
3- Does the iPod Touch 2G support a Folder System (either initially, or through an App)? If so, how do I create & edit it?

2) No you cannot remove the apps that come on the ipod. You can move them to another home page.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_3.1_UserGuide.pdf
3) No. You can look for Apps in the app store that will store data via wi-fi.

IPod Touch 5G question

Ok, this doesn't happen with my iPod Touch 4G, but it does with my 5G. Every time I connect it to my laptop to charge, it asks 'Trust This Computer?'. Every time. If it did it once, it wouldn't really bother me, but it does it repeatedly. It will ask me at 2-4 times - sometimes more - every time I plug it in. My laptop is the only computer I connect it to, so why does it repeatedly ask that question?

Perhaps you need to try rebooting it:
Rebooting your iDevice
Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The iPad should begin to start up.
If this doesn't help then try restoring it:
Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
7. iOS - Unable to update or restore

iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

Mystery iPod with Mystery Question?

I happened to get my cousin's old iPod, because he said something about it not working and maybe I could fix it. It's a white 20GB, but I have no idea what generation it is. Old, because the screen isn't color. Anyway, at first I couldn't get it to turn on, but I plugged it into the wall and it started charging so at first I thought my cousin was just foolish and forgot to charge it. So I curiously plugged it into my computer and at first glance it seems fine. I start going through the music on it, and I notice that a lot of it (probably most than half) has the little grey ! next to it, which obviously means error. Most of the time if you click it in the iTunes library, it will tell you what's wrong...so being the genius I am, I tried to play one and iTunes froze on me. I thought "oh well", closed it, and tried to reopen it, only to have it freeze after it synched the iPod.
So my two questions are:
Does anyone have any idea what generation iPod this is, and is there any way to get the seemingly errored music fixed and stop it from freezing iTunes when I open it?
Or is the iPod out dated enough that there's no hope?
(Which is a shame, because after a 2GB nano, 20GB seems like a huge amount of space to be taken advantage of...)
Note: Cord is plugged into the back of the computer after an issue with my nano. Not sure if that makes any difference to my current problem.
EDIT: iTunes unfroze after I let it sit for a while, but the song I was just playing in iTunes last time without any error now has the mysterious ! by it...
EDIT 2: Tried playing same said song on the iPod and it completely froze...now I know why the battery was dead. No way to turn it off, so I assume he just let it sit there until the battery died.

The answer to your first question: It sounds like a 4th Generation. If it has a gray circular pad (called a click wheel) with Menu at the top, Play/Pause at the bottom, and |<< and >>| on the sides, then it is definately a 4th Generation model.

Before I buy 5G iPod... questions...

Hi. I've got a few questions based on things I've read from various posts.
1) Is the battery replaceable?
2) I read this: "The real problem is iTunes. It won't let you copy your own songs to your own computer. Plug in your iPod and iTunes will ERASE all the songs you didn't get from it." Is that true??????? or how do you prevent that?
3) There seems to be so many bugs in the 5G should I wait for the new one if it is coming soon?
4) Black vs. white: Black is so great looking but people say it gets scratched even with special care, that the white looks better. a) Does the white in time turn yellowish, cuz so many white plastics do yellow. b) Do you people who have black ones wish you got a white now? and c) if it is not carried all over and basically just sits on a desk or somthing will it really get that scratched?
5) The 30 vs. 60: My songs are AAC 192. I only have about 8G so far and can grow into either one, but I don't want to have to be removing stuff down the road to make room for new stuff. Or maybe by then I'd want a new iPod anyway. (?) Or, I may not even come close to reaching 60G capacity, etc. It's like I'm trying to invision the future beforehand, I guess, because these things are not cheap. Anyhow these are the thoughts that go on for making my decision. For you people who bought the 30 or 60, what are your feelings now, like would you rather have gotten the other one, etc.
Thanks!

[Officially you should not download music off your pod onto your computer.This doesn't mean you can't!Yamipod and senuti are freeware downloads which will enable you to do this. iTunes would delete(update the iPod)any files not in it's library on the PC/Mac if you have it set to "Auto sync" in iPod preferences.This can be disabled by setting it to "manually update".]
I'm not concerned with uploading to the computer or bypassing anything. I guess I saw the word "delete" and wanted to double check going from the computer to the iPod. I only have songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store and from my owned CDs and I didn't want them to be erased accidentally when I plug in my iPod and lose all that effort. I don't have any illegal downloads. (I'm opposed to them, in fact. I feel people have a right to be paid for their work.)
3)We do not speculate about forthcoming attractions
I wasn't, don't worry! It's just that in life and technology, there's always more to come and reassessment of your situation, so I'm trying to assess my future needs with this choice because it is a big purchase and I'd like to have it for a good while. I don't want to buy the 30 then realize I should've got the 60, things like that.
