IPod Updater 2006-1-10 Not playing videos properly

Is anyone else out there having the same issue? A friend and myself just upgraded our iPod software to the v1.1, and when I went to play a movie it will play for exactly 30 seconds, then freeze for 5 - 10 seconds, then continue playing the video but without sound. My friend is having this exact same issue (which neither of us were before this update). I had to restore my iPod back to the 2005-11-17 v1.0 and now it is working fine (same for my friend). Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions as to what could be the cause? I run on WinXP w/ SP2, and I have latest iTunes software. The support techs really don't do a good job, and had nothing to say other than it must be the videos (which doesn't make sense since they were working just fine before this update).

I updated my iPod last night, and today I discovered the same problem all of you are describing. But, after fiddling with it a bit I think I've figured out more details, though none of it helps me fix it. When I play any video that I've downloaded from iTunes, no matter the play length or file size, it plays perfectly fine. But, when I play a video that I've converted outside of iTunes, and if the video is about twenty minutes or longer, it pauses after 30 seconds of playing and then goes silent while the video resumes. I can play short non-iTunes videos okay, but as soon as I play a longer one, kaput. I first noticed it when I was trying to watch an episode of Smallville, and then I tried watching a twenty minute video from IGN. But, when I went to something short, it played with no problems.
Anyone else fine tune the problem? Any other fix besides blasting it and going back to a previous update?

Unfortunately not.

Itunes does not play video properly - sound or video out of sync

About 6 months ago, all of a sudden my itunes for windows starts to play my movies or tv shows improperly. Video is frozen while the sound plays. Or the exact reverse happens. Apple showed me to uninstall fully and reinstall Itunes, which worked once. Couple of months later the same happens again. I tried again a proper uninstall and reinstall but to no avail.
I have been using Itunes for windows for the last 4 years and nothing ever went wrong like this. Now the only way to see my video is to sync to my iphone.
Anyone have this problem? I've read about the codex issues that can cause problems. I tried some of the fixes and nothing works.
Even says that the firewall or virus programs can interfere - I'm surprised if that would be a cause.
I have a recent laptop with windows 7 premium, 64bit. When I bought it about 1.5 years ago I had no problem with Itunes.
Thanks,
JR

You synced the sd version to the ipods?
You can report the issue to itunes. They should resolve within a day.

Beyond that, I am not sure what the issue would be.

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!

After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes will not play video

I recently updated to Windows 8.1 but since i have my iTunes will not play video i previously downloaded from the iTunes store. The video will play in QuickTime without issue though, please help

sorry it's not my apple id. it's my icloud email/account. after i updated to ios 8.1.2 my icloud acct on my phone is wrong. it's using my old college email address instead of my current icloud account email. my old college email address *used* to be my apple id, but i changed my apple id to my gmail account a few months back. anyway i can't "sign out" or delete the icloud account bc it thinks my college email address is my icloud account and it keeps asking for the password. so i'll type in the current password for my icloud account and it says it's wrong and i need to retry or change the password, which i've already done twice and nothing changes. probably bc its asking for the password associated with the college email address it thinks is my icloud acct.
i can access icloud on my desktop without a problem... make any sense? do i have to restore my phone now or is there a solution? i've wasted the last 2 days trying to figure this out. i can't send or receive emails on my iphone bc of this. which really ***** for work.

5gen iPod not loading in iTunes or iPod updater 2006

I just got this 5th gen iPod for christmas and I have just started having these problems. I plug the ipod into the computer and nothing happens -no load in iTunes and the updater doesn't read it.
Just before this problem started happening the iPod would skip or freeze while playing songs. It would start out as just a delay of the song and the time reading would freeze but the song would keep playing. Then they would both freeze and I would have to restart it.
I need all the help I can get -thanks

iPod Updater 2006-01-10 has caused a lot of problems for a lot of people. If you were experiencing problems before you attempted to install the updater, I suggest you phone Apple's tech support and take advantage of their free within 90 days of purchase support. Or, if you have an Apple store near by, drop in and let them take a look.
If you had no problems before attempting to install the iPod Updater 2006-01-10 I suggest that you 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 you are experiencing and what model iPod you own.

You Tube not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update

You Tube and other sites are not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update for both. Adobe Flash is working on other sites but not You tube and those sites that may have embedded You Tube videos, I'm not sure.
Adobe Flash does not crash and no error message is showing. All that shows is a dark screen for the Flash video. Right clicking the screen shows only a non-clickable 'Movie not loaded' and the clickable link to the Adobe home page.
I have spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this but none have helped.
I have sent sad face letting you know what I think of the latest update because of this which says pretty much the same thing as I have said here.
I have no further info but if I had some input and queries form you I might be able to provide more.

I'm not sure how to remove the 12.xxx version,. I don't understand why it is there, usually updates over wirte the old one as far as I know. I don't know where to find it.
pref .js deleted.
I could not find a user.js
I disabled hardware acceleration on one of them, not sure which and I don't remember how I did it but think it must have been on the flash.
No idea what protected mode is
no new profile, I've never done this.
Ok, did what you have said as much as I could. I have been fidgeting with things now for a couple hours. After doing a CCleaner and Registry cleanse, turning off and restarting the computer, the videos are now p-laying.
I would still like to know how to find and get rid of the duplicate Flash plug in though if you would't mind.
Thanks for the help.

Any known problems with iPod Updater 2006-06-28?

I was wondering if anyone's had any issues with their iPods since updating with the iPod Updater 2006-06-28.
Thanks!

I was a fool. I refrained from updating because I knew better than to try to fix something that isn't broken, but I was hungover and upset about the fact that whenever the headphones cord wiggles my ipod pauses. I was convinced for the split second in between two throbbing beats in my head that perhaps the new update would give me an option of shutting that aspect of the ipod off. Woe is me.
Now 10 gb of my music is unavailable. The ipod just skips over it. It didn't delete the files, they're all still there, I just can't play them; not on the ipod nor on the computer (not original computer for ipod). In Itunes an exclamation point shows up in the first column whenever I try to play certain songs, but there is no information about what is wrong. If I go to info on these songs there is no entry for Profile: Channel: or Encoded With:, unlike the rest of my songs that still work.
Any hope of recovery?

IPod Updater 2006-06-28 still says Don't Disconnect...

Hello.
This evening I tried updating the firmware of my iPod. Everything seemed to go ok. When this was finished, their still was the "do not disconnect" message on the screen of my iPod.
I decided to try the restore button.
iPod Updater 2006-06-28 now says: restoring done, wait till it is really done, don't disconnect the iPod.
Now, this message is already on my screen for more than a hour. My question: is this ok and normal?
(perhaps I have to say that my iPod wasn't charged completeley.)
I hope someone knows something about this.
iRubke

Ok, you see the thing is, I'm only 13 and I have like
no idea as to what I should do. and most of all, I
don't really have a clue as to what you just said.
I'm sorry if I'm bugging you, but I think what
you're saying is that if I remove itunes and i
reinstall it, all my songs will be there? This is
so confusing. You know what? Thanks for your help
anyway. I appreciate it.
Okay Shorty1324, I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes i don't know how many times and my music files and folders have never been erased from my computer so you don't need to worry about that. However, if you do decide to uninstall iTunes again and think it may erase your music, try making a backup copy (not a CD) of your all music files and/or folders. meaning, make a totally new folder, save it somewhere on your hard drive or desktop where YOU know everything in it will not be harmed if iTunes decides to go ape (for lack of better words). if everything works according to plan, (meaning iTunes works without any problems) then your iTunes problem is solved. but keep the backup copy of your music in case something else goes wrong. hopefully this explanation helps you. i know it's hard to understand technical jargon but you will learn as you get older. no worries!
30GB iPod with Video Windows XP

After runnin iPod Updater 2006-06-28 for my 2GB iPod Nano my computer froze

I installed iTunes 6.0.5 and my 2GB iPod Nano was recognized... everything seemed OK. I then tried running iPod Updater 2006-06-28 and this is when my problems began. After running the Updater program my iPod froze during the update process. I had to shutdown my computer in order to stop the updater program. Upon restarting my computer, iTunes no longer recognizes my iPod and if I run the updater program again it continues to freeze or does not recognize my iPod. When I plug in my iPod, Windows recognizes my iPod but my computer becomes very slow. Please note that when my iPod is not connected to my computer it appears to be OK but all my data has been removed. The updater program also appears to have been successful in updating my iPod to v1.2.
To try and resolve this issue I performed Apple's Five Rs and also followed Apples instructions for "iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes." Please see the links below for these procedures.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/

Every attempt I have made has been unsuccessful and I am contemplating reinstalling Windows XP SP2. Can anyone help?
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum with AMD Athlon 3200+ Windows XP 2GB iPod Nano and iTunes 6.0.4.2

same problem with my 4GB nano. I believe the updater is messed up, as all previous updaters work fine to restore for me (with a needed kill of the ipodservice.exe)

IPod Update 2006-06-28 taking too long

I'm trying to update my iPod Nano using iPod Updater 2006-06-28 for Windows XP. I clicked on "Update" and waited for a while. I've been waiting for more than 30 minutes now and the update never ends... My iPod displays the message "Do not disconnect" and my computer says that it cannot interrupt the process right now. How long will I have to wait? I'm afraid to disconnect the iPod manually and damage it permanently? What can I do?
Thanks a lot.
Pentium III Windows XP

I used Windows task manager to force iPod Updater to close and, after that, I used the feature "Safely remove USB hardware". My iPod restarted automatically and it's working fine now. The iPod system is up-to-date and it's being recognized by Windows XP and iTunes without a problem.

hi mate,
have you checked via Nokia Suite on PC if there are any firmware updates available for your device? if there are, please update to the latest version offered. failing that, you can try re-installing your current firmware thru Nokia Suite and if that fails, Restoring your phone to factory settings.
Failing that, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for inspection: http://nokia.com/support

Smart Playlists are fixed with iPod Updater 2006-01-10

Hello Podders, Resident Furball here...
iPod Updater 2006-01-10 restores dynamic updating of Smart Playlists on the iPod
iPod Updater 2005-06-26 disabled the onboard dynamic updating of Smart Playlists on iPods older than the Nano and Gen5. This feature can now be restored using iPod Updater 2006-01-10.
We held lengthy debates about this issue on Discussions (here, here and here), as well as the iLounge thread that sparked a dedicated website.
However, we are glad to confirm that the latest iPod Updater resolves this issue, as I was informed by email from Apple Level 2 Support, and as tested by some of our long-suffering Gen4 and Pod Photo users. The Apple KB article on Smart Playlists has also been updated.
Since the threads that I started have now been locked down to reflect resolution, I'm posting this just to confirm that everything now appears to have been resolved, and I would like to thank everyone here on Discussions for their patience and excellent troubleshooting in diagnosing this problem. Thank you to everyone who posted Feedback, those of you who took the time to phone Apple, and also to Apple Level 2 Phone Support for their assistance in escalating this matter up to US Engineering.
Happy Podding everyone!
Kind regards,
Gopha.

Hello folks, Resident Furball again...
Many folks have now reported that Smart Playlist functionality has been properly restored to the iPod.
However, some folks have been reporting that Smart Playlists containing Podcasts are still coming to grief.
From what I have seen reported, the firmwares prior to the Updater 2005-06-26 that broke Smart Playlists had the ability to dynamically update Podcast-containing Smart Playlists, but this functionality has not been restored in the latest 2006-01-10 that has fixed 'simple' Smart Playlists.
I don't use Podcasts myself, so if you would like to know more, please refer to posts from Vibeeen and Tutackhamen who have described the continuing issue in detail.
In the meanwhile, I have drawn the attention of Level 2 Support to these reports, and recommend that you continue to submit appropriate Feedback if you are affected by this quirk.
Kind regards,
Gopha.

BEWARE of iPod Updater 2006-01-10

I just ran the iPod Updater 2006-01-10 on my iPod Photo and it erased the disk and made it unrecognisable to the OS. I then tried to run the iPod Updater 2006-01-10 on it and run restore, but it could not read the disk. So the iPod was DEAD. Luckily I had iPod Updater 2005-11-17 on my machine and it seems to be working.

In response to the thread I created 24 hours ago consolidating discussion of this issue, Apple has locked the thread, locked me out of my former user name, and deleted my attempts to continue the discussion on this board. I can no longer post to these forums with the name "L3263827"!
Apple seems to be dodging this issue, and I wanted users of the forums to be aware of their despicable behavior.
Many of my previous posts have been deleted. If I disappear again keep the discussions up! Apple will not address this issue unless it is demonstrated that the updater has caused problems on a "significant number of units". Apple's position seems to be that the updater is "working" on "millions of units" and therefore those of us with problems are insignificant or irrelevant.
After hours on tech support today they offered to repair my iPod without charge (as they should have offered from the beginning), or to send me a $100 coupon towards the purchase of a new unit (which I was apparently supposed to be honored to receive). I have had to address the lockout of my userID through different channels.
Attention users with old iPods that are now paperweights: Report the problem! If we don't report the problem and prove the pervasive nature of this issue Apple has repeatedly stated they will ignore it!
Check the old thread "Complete iPod Failure" ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=330396&tstart=0 ) See how many users reported problems between 4pm and 9am! Don't let Apple steal your iPod and sell it back to you!
I suggest users experiencing problems with iPod Updater 2006-01-10 now create new, individual "Me Too Updater 2006 - Username" threads with descriptions of their problems and models, rather than post to a single thread Apple can lock and ignore.
