Ipod update messed up video

i just updated my ipod to 1.1
before the update..my videos were running fine, i could watch a full length video without running into any problems.
after the update..the ipod plays the video for about 30 sec then pauses and then resumes. Not only does it pause but it does not have any audio after..only video.

Hello, the same thing it happened to me when I upgrade my firmware. you can download a software called ipodwizard and follow the tutorial on the link below... it will help you to downgrade firmware. it worked for me...someone in ipodwizard forum told that apple release that update before it was done...so they messed up with us... I've heard of more issues (backlight problems), anyway..try this if you want to:

Video freezes when playing after ipod updating

My 60GB ipod video freezes up after a few minutes of playing video. It was operating fine until I installed the latest IPOD updater software "2006-01-10". I have tried reseting the ipod, but it makes no difference. When the freeze occurs, I found that returning back to the main menu is the only way to get the video to return to playing. Otherwise, I tried fast forward and it sometimes plays, but without sound.
This is a new IPOD, so I can return it today for a full refund from the apple store.
Any ideas?

My 60GB ipod video freezes up after a few minutes of
playing video.
The only way to fix it is to go back to the previous updater. You'll lose everything on your iPod but you can sync again afterwards.
1) Uninstall the 1.1 updater from your computer.
2) Install the 1.0 updater onto your computer. It's on the CD that came with your iPod.
3) Plug in your iPod.
4) Run the 1.0 updater.
5) Select 'restore'.
6) Follow instructions.
7) Resync with iTunes.
Good luck.

4.3.2 update messed up my ipod touch... same issues peple complained about with 4.3.1

So the last update 4.3.1 that everyone complained about worked fine with my ipod touch... it was working great actually. Then I did the update for 4.3.2 and crash and burn... now I am having all the issues that people were complaining about with 4.3.1...
Battery life is much shorter than before
Cover art flow is messed up- most of the albums show up as a pixelated mess
Photo library is messed up- the images do not line up in the grid and are all cut off or look like tiled multiple images
When listening to music and the screen shows the full size cover art- the art shows up looking "tiled" not a full centered image.
The screen is kind of glitchy, like it freezes up for a second before doing what it needs to do- for example when the lock screen is on and you unlock it it kind of has this delayed reaction before changing.
Also, the combo of the update and the new itunes is totally screwed up... I am using windows 7 and can't decide if this is a weird windows issue or itunes and the ipod updates, but when I plug in the ipod to sync it will either wipe out all of my music and apps or will instantly freeze and I have to force quit. My back ups no longer work with the new updates, so I had to re-download all of my apps... And when I can get itunes to work for a moment and I sync music the songs usually cut out randomly or skip- so to solve that I resorted to using media monkey- but this doesn't fix the artwork sync issues.
Having spent several hundred dollars on an ipod, i expect this stuff to work!! and it would be great if it worked with the programs as intended, but maybe I have high expectations.
Has anyone else had any of these problems? I am feeling like I might just have to suck it up and deal.

Mine has been doing the exact same thing. It messes up even more with each stupid update they do. One thing that I have found helps is restoring my ipod.

Ipod won't update pictures or videos: required file not found

Ipod updater 2006-06-28 wiped my 60gb video ipod!

i just tried updating the firmware, and now im getting a message on my ipod saying "connect to your computer. use itunes to restore." i dont want to restore my ipod, i just wanted to update the software!! in windows the ipod is recognized as a drive letter, however when i click on it it says the drive is not formatted and asks if i want to format it. all i want is the firmware to be reinstalled. i saw this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303915 but i dont get any message box that asks if i want to update. and yes i have the newest version of itunes. when i try to run the updater again it just sits there forever and hangs. is there any sort of data recovery software i can use to get my songs back? i would like to just update it again without having to lose all my data. thanks.

Same thing happened to me (well my 30gb video iPod XD) And to a lot of people, apparently. My iPod has been comatose (I REFUSE to say it's dead) since Monday after the iPod Update. It's NEVER had problems before, so I lay the blame on the Update. It took forever to "update" (I had it in for hours) and when I finally dced it (prematurely apparently?? I don't know how leaving it in a couple hours and then taking it out makes it premature but okay iPod Updater...) it flashed to the Apple screen, which I then reset, and now it's in its comatose state
I have really nothing to contribute but to say it's happened to me, too XD I've had no luck at other threads so if anyone could help, it would be much appreciated Thanks

IPod Updater 2006-06-28 Software Version 1.1.2 causes video lock up

My 5th generation iPod was working fine until I loaded this update. I had it spontaniously reset twice in a row while playing two different video podcasts. The last 3 videos I've tried will cause it to just lock up after a minute or so and I have to reset it.
Is there a way to go back to software version 1.1.1 without restoring back to factory defaults? It would take over a day to reload 50GB back to my iPod over a USB 1 connection. Is there any other fix to this reset and lock up problem?

Lastest video ipod update - Problem

I have updated my 60g video ipod with the latest update and now my video ipod is not acting right. And will not see any videos that I have placed on my ipod from my library, meaning not bought from itunes, although those show up fine.
The video do show up, but as songs and not as videos.
Can I downgrade back to the prior version or do I have to wipe the ipod and reinstall? Not a happy choice...
Any one else have this issue? Not happy with this intrusive update by apple at all. This update show have come with more information than was presented.

You shouldn't have to downgrade. You're not providing much information here. You said that videos show up as songs, but not videos. I'm assuming you have these videos labeled as Music Videos, and not Movies. Right click on your non-Music Video videos, and choose Get Info. Choose the Options tab, and change the Video Kind to Movie.
(Video Out doesn't exist.)

Video ipod update Freeze

having just installed the updated software for my video ipod,
when playing movies the picture freezes after 30 seconds or so
and then plays without sound! I have tried to reset numerous times but it does not help. music and picture files are fine though.

If you don't want to wade through all the responses, I'm copying here an extract of the answer I gave in that thread:
For those people like me who don't have firmware 1.0, I've modified the procedure a bit to suit our purpose. Here's what needs to be done for downgrading to firmware 1.0 without losing any data for new iPods that only come with firmware 1.1 Installation CD:
-Connect your iPod to your computer, ensures its updated via iTunes, then disconnect it from PC and exit iTunes
- Download iPodSetup 2005-11-17 here:
http://appldnld.m7z.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/ww/win/061-2225.20051128.PDW nw/iPodSetup.exe
- Download iPodWizard here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153441
(download the release, top link of the two)
- Uninstall iPod for Windows 2006-1-10 and reboot
- Install iPodSetup 2005-11-17
-Connect your iPod to PC, make sure iTunes is not running
-Launch iPodWizard.
-In the top left, click "Open Updater"
-Locate the iPod Updater.exe located in a sub-folder where you just installed iPodSetup 2005-11-17
-In the "Firmware:" drop down menu, select "5th Generation iPod (v.13.6.0)"
-Click "Load" just to the right of the drop down menu
-In the iPodWizard Essentials box on the right, it should say "Found 1 iPod drives:"
-Click "Downgrade Firmware". I'ts very quick.
-Close the iPodWizard
-Again, make sure iTunes is not running
-From your Start menu, run iPod Updater 2005-11-17 and click "Update", not "Restore"
-Once the update is completed (it takes a few minutes), exit the iPod Updater and run it again to view the new firmware number. It should read:
"Software Version: 1.0 (up to date)"
-Launch iTunes. A pop up window will ask you if you want to download the new software version 1.1. Tick the box "Do not ask me again" and click "CANCEL"

New 160 GB iPod messes up videos!

OK. I recently had to buy a new computer because my old one was well...old. I updated from Compaq to HP which means I went from Windows XP to Windows 7. I still have a 30 GB iPod which plays my videos wonderfully. No problems at all. Then I bought a 160 GB and my videos transferred to the newest iTunes available and my videos played but they had glitches where there were no glitches before. Like as if bad weather hit the video but there was no bad weather, you know? It plays perfectly in my old iPod but not in my new and improved? iPod. This really is making me mad because it works perfectly in my old one and in my new one it doesn't! The quality of the picture in the new one is great but there's the glitches that happens in a lot of videos and plus some are slow in places where they're not in the other one. These aren't Apple-related videos they are ripped off of YouTube but they played like a dream in the old one and are MPEG4 videos which are supported by iPods. If this can't be fixed I'm thinking of just buying another 30GB but I don't know if Windows 7 and the newest version of iTunes supports it! I have more gigs of video on my iPod than music so I'm obviously just looking for the video quality here! Please help!

Have same problem which should not be a big deal. I have a 80g and recently upgraded to a 160g. How do I transfer content from the 80 to the 160? Am surprised this matter is not addresses in basic operational info. Would think Apple wants to this to happen and would facilitate the upgrading. I need to buy a 3rd party application?

"White Screen" error after most recent update 60 gig video iPod

I just received the most recent iPod updater software. I installed the updater and ran same. After the update process my 60 gig video iPOD cannot be recognized by my MAC G5. It has a "White Screen" and WILL NOT turn off! When I attempt a reset it simply gives me a 2 or 3 tone beep (I've never heard the tone before). The screen goes dark and it reboots to a white screen. I've re-installed updater and iTunes. I've switched USB ports. I've shut down the computer as well as rebooted same. I've allowed the iPOD to fully discharge (which happened quickly since the screen will not blank). When the unit is plugged into the USB port it charges and the white screen reappears. The updater now refuses to see the iPod so I cannot reset to factory defaults. Any ideas?
The idiots at Apple instituted a 24/7 chat tech support line for iPod shuttle owners. The guys like me who paid the big bucks for their best product get stuck out in the cold! Apple's whole tech support schtick is barely one step ahead of Dell's! The charge premium prices for their product and I like Apple a lot, but their demand that you be either an Apple Care customer or .MAC user to get even rudimentary support *****!

Ok, for all the others out who experience this problem....I spent about an hour on the phone with Apple. You have to go to their SECOND level of support to get an answer. But there is a fix.
If you have a white screen and the unit beep 3 times after a reboot here's what you need to do to fix the problem. Warning all you data will be lost. It will have to be downloaded via iTunes again!
Disconnect the iPod from the computer. Hold the Select and Menu button down for about 7 seconds to until you get a beep. Then hold down the Select and PLAY button for 10 seconds. This will put the unit in hard disk mode. Wait awhile until the Apple screen goes away and if you get a progress bar wait until it is gone.
At this point it will take some finagling, but you basically hook the iPod back up to the computer and do a RESTORE. The iPod should be recognized by iPod updater. Your data MAY still be in place, but if you do not do a restore to factory defaults with the updater you will get the white-screen-three-beeps-problem again.
Once you reboot into the language screen you can reconnect the iPOD and download your data from iTunes.
I complained this info SHOULD be posted online. They guy was very nice and agreed but said that engineering was still collecting data. He thought it was a dumb idea not to post online or allow the first level support guys to fix the problem.
Hey Apple...if you read this how about collecting data on your goddamned time and at your expense. You're the SOBs that collected $399 for the product! Ever seen the Comcast or AOL video on YOUTUBE? You guys could be next!

IPOD updater 2006-1-10, now no sound after video plays for a few seconds

I installed the latest IPod updater 2006-1-10 and now all my movies will hang for a few seconds and then the sound stops working. If I forward through a few frames, the sounds comes back and repeats the same behaviour.
Anyone have a fix or seen this before?

iPod Updater 2006-01-10 has caused a variety of problems on multiple iPod models.
I just spent an hour on the phone with tech support. They forwarded me to some higher level techs due to my extreme heat while recharging issue. They still seem unaware of the problem. I suggested they read the forums to see just how widespread the problem is. The tech I spoke with assured me she would pass the problem up through the ranks and check the forums, but she said they haven't had a lot of service calls on the issue.
SO!
I suggest that everyone post a "me too" message to the "Complete iPod Failure" thread from 1-23-1006 ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=330396&tstart=0 ), with a description of the problems they are experiencing and what model iPod they own. That thread is an effort at consolidating discussion of this specific issue, as well as a collection of the myriad possible fixes available.
Then phone Apple's tech support (1.800.275.2273) and let them know you've had a problem with the iPod Updater 2006-01-10.
Choose menu selection #1, Technical Support, and talk the automated responder through your configuration.
Hopefully we can at least bring the issue to their full attention and get them to pull the updater from the downloads so it doesn't ruin anyone else's day!
Good luck!

IPod really messed up

Just skip this first paragraph if you don't need to know how the problems started
My 30G video iPod's messed up and I can't seem to fix it - it started when my computer froze about 4 hours ago. I reset the ipod and disconnected it while the PC (I'm on XP) was still running but when I turned on again everything was gone from the machine, music, videos and everything. So I plugged it back in after resetting the PC and reloading iTunes, and iTunes seemed to add all its files to the ipod which took quite a while, but when I disconnected it still didn't work. I plugged it back in and rebooted it with the updater that came with the CD, then when I conneceted it to iTunes again the program registered it as the same iPod, with all the old files and everything even though I couldn't see it on the actual machine. So I disabled disk use and took it out - this time, the songs and videos appeared in their lists so I thought it was OK until I tried testing one of the songs.
The songs now do not play, instead rushing through the albums in seconds. All the songs have the little abr at the bottom going from 0.00 to 4.19 seconds (for example) but it just stays on 0 seconds and runs on to the next song on the list without making a sound. So yeah, that's my problem, and could anyone help? Sorry it's so long, I thought you might need to hear the whole story!
I've had the 30 gigabyte iPod video since christmas, and have been using it on a regular basis so I know all the functions and stuff pretty well.
Thanks,
Martyn

Hmm, that's pretty nasty. I'm guessing it's all Windows. Windows freezing = total domination over iPod. Get the new software updater, and restore your iPod again, and see if that doesn't work. If it doesn't you might have to talk to someone from Apple (unless someone else here has any other suggestions).

I think the latest ipod updater is broken...I don't recommend using it.

Hi all,
I had ipod 30 gig video number 1. It would lock up and couldn't be reset so you had to wait for the battery to die to charge it up to use it again. Then it started skipping tracks. Then one day, post an update attempt of the firmware, the dreaded folder with an exclamation mark came up.
Well I finally managed to get the updater to try to restore it only to have it come back with 'firmware update failure - disc write error'. I figured it was just that the hardrive was toast.
So I took it to the Apple care center and got ipod 30 gig video number 2 replacement! Yea!
Brought it home, plug it in to charge a bit - said do not disconnect for a couple hours so I finally disconnected it. I could see the menus so it was working at this point.
Then I ran THE DREADED IPOD UPDATER!
Firmware update failure - disc write error!!!!!! AGAIN!!!!
Boom, right back to where I was with the first one. Can only either get 1) the folder of doom (explamation mark folder) or 2) disc mode; do not disconnect to show up.
Itunes 6.05 (reinstalled several times at this point) wont see it.
Ipod updater will come back with 'cannot continue because another app is using the the ipod' - except it has given me this message even when the ipod is not connnected!
I have tried pluggin in ipod with just itunes going, just the updater going, nothing going and starting itunes and nothing going and starting the updater. I have swapped the usb cable. I have stood on my head and whistled a tune.
Nothing works.
I have gone thru the 'when your itunes does not see your ipod while windows does page' to no avail. I am not going to reinstall windows on a machine that is working perfectly well. Basically, these issues all started when I downloaded the newest ipod updater.
I am going to see if I can get an older copy or something but this is downright ridiculous. I have spent basically 3 hours tonight shutdown/restarting and searching for the phone number to call for my 90 days or support call to no avail on the website.
So, good luck people, you are going to need it!

Hey there,
So I finally got the itunes 6.05 installed on the office machine as well as the ipodupdater 6/28/06.
I started itunes. I started the updater and it said hook up an ipod to update. I hooked up the ipod and after a bit (1 minute) I was given the option to restore (but not update). I choose restore and after about 2 mins it was restored and progress bar on ipod had moved as well as on the main computer screen. Then it showed the menu briefly (yea!) but then went to do not disconnect mode (boo). Fortunately, after another few minutes I was given the option to name the ipod on the main computer and then after that the ipod went back to its menu screen so I quick unplugged it.
So now I am back where I was when I took it from the shop the other day. Now to see if I can get songs on it tonight at home.
