IPod video hangs

Hi,
Am using the ipod video which i purchased on 22nd of Feb. I encountered a problem today while trying to load some video stuff.
I had kept my photo slide show in pause mode and connected it to the PC. I now am at loss as my ipod is simply not responding. It still remains with the same still picture that i was viewing. I had tried resetting my ipod also, but of no help!
please suggest some a good way to get it working without having to lose my files!!!
Thanks,
Arch

Next time, please post in the Using your Fifth Generation iPod forum.
Anyhow, try a reset by holding down menu+select...
Resetting iPod
It may take several attempts. The link above also has tips as to what to do if the reset does not seem to be working.
If you have tried a reset several times and it won't work, you will need to let the battery die and then charge your iPod back up.

My iPod Video hangs when changing track

Just now, my iPod Video hung when changing to another track... So I had to reset it (something I don't want to do). Does anyone have the same problem?
By the way, I didn't charge my iPod till it says it's full. How much would it affect the battery capacity? (It only last for about 5 to 6 hours...)

mine does this too
and occasionally it hangs (pauses) when changing screens
also when i click for the album art in full screen it often takes about 5secs+ for it to register

Mine is really close to your set up. Difference my desktop has two drive, dvd-rom and my burn drive. My laptop only has single drive. Here is my take on things.
My desktop computer burns from iTunes perfect in version 4.7.0.42 and 5.0.1.4. When I go to 6.x I can't do anything. Go to oldapps.com if you want an older version.
I CAN BURN on my laptop with new version. It is a toshiba sat M45-S331 with a matshita dvd-ram drive.
My PC is a dell with a teac dvd+rw dv-w58e, rev D.0n
Did find something sad and while I don't know much about computer programming here is my take. I think it has nothing to do with the drive, my drive works perfect and as evidence being able to burn in older generation iTunes.
I think in the new version, at least as far as I can tell, my bus address in my laptop for my cd drive is [0,0] but on my desktop the bus address is [1,0] for my burn drive.
I think some programmer at Apple took out ability to recognize two seperate bus addresses or to recognize address [1,0]
Opinions? I'm going to research how to change bus address on my drives and if can figure out will get back here. Or if someone else can, please replay to me by e-mail. You can send it to the following removing upper case letters:

60GB ipod video problems

Hi All,
I just boughts my 60gb ipod this weekend. yay! I seem to have the 60gb ipod 1.1 update video hanging/freezing, then comes back with no audio after several seconds problem that everyone is posting all over the web about. It is happening on most any large video file I put on it.
The fix seems to be to backdate the ipod software version to 1.0, but I can't find it on my software CD. Does anyone know where to get it from, or another solution?

I have not confirmed if that download link works (from that message). If it does, you can follow the rest of those instructions or simply restore the iPod using that updater...
Restore the iPod
And then reload all the songs.

Can the iPod Video disk break if you move it whie running?

If I say run or dance to the iPod Video music would the hard drive break?

i've had two disk-based ipods die when running with them, both wth disk failure (reported by ipod diagnostics), others have reported similar woes over the years
even if it doesn't kill the ipod, there's the chance of it hanging if bounced when accessing disk (the skip protection is quoted at up to 20-25 minutes i think, but that is based on spinning up the disk every 20-25 minutes to refill the buffer, not on opportunistic refill to always mantain the buffer near full, so at least with the old firmware if the ipod was subjected to enough vibration when it tried to reload the buffer it would hang)
imho it does depend on running style and how the ipod is carried, so some people may run/jog without problems
i bought a nano for running, no more problems

My Ipod Video Changed my Life

I bought my Ipod Video when it first came out. When I got it I immidietly downloaded the entire first season of Lost. A show which at the time I knew nothing about. I have been taking my Ipod with me to the gym everyday and watching an episode of Lost while on the stairmaster and burning about 600 calories per episode. I get so engrossed in each show that I don't even feel the pain of the workout. And because each episode leaves you hanging, I can't wait to get to the gym the next day. So I've not only become addictied to Lost but I'm also addicted to exersise now, which a month ago was a chore. Today I watched the last episode of Season 1. I've downloaded the first season of 24 and anticipating wathcing that season next. I just wanted to share my life changing experience.

what do you mean you downloaded season 1 of 24? 24 as in keifer sutherland?!

Ipod video freeze

Ipod Video is frozen and even pressing middle button + Menu button does not reset it. Is it just OLD or can i reformat it to make it work and not hang up.

How long did you hold the Select/Center and Menu button combo? It can take some time before you see the Apple logo to appear. Also make sure the hold switch along the top of the device is not in the On position.
Otherwise, you'll need to let the iPod's battery drain. Then charge it back up and restore in iTunes if necessary.

My iPod Videos are no longer reading on my iPOD Video!!

Hi,
I have a 30GB iPod Video (5th Generation) and just recently all my iPod Music Videos and movies are no longer watchable and aren't showing in music videos and movies playlists on my iPod! Once I plug my iPod into iTunes on my mac, it says there are no videos, even though the video files are still on the iPod and can play via iTunes, but are being read as audio files?? I hope this makes sense. If someone could help me solve this problem, it would be much appreciated!!
Thanks, David

I wish I could help, but I am having a similar problem. I have several movies which are Nero Recodes and they worked great on my 60GB until about 2-3 months ago. Now, they don't work at all. They will play in Itunes. I have severla smaller clips which still play and I just uploaded a movie using DVD2Pod which plays great. I have deleted them from my system and reloaded them (checking first to make sure they played on my computer--which they did) and still bupkis! Any insights?

Ipod nano 4gb and ipod video 80g with windows vista

hello! i've been trying (rather unsuccessfully) to sync the ipod nano to my laptop which has windows vista OS. i have the latest itunes 7.2 (just updated today from 7.1) and i always get the "found new hardware" pop-up everytime i plug the ipod nano via usb port. i also did the 5r's, but still the computer cannot and will not detect any software. i even downloaded the softwareupdater28-06-2006.exe but it will not run because it's superseded by itunes 7. my friend has an ipod video 80gb and i tried connecting it too, same thing popped up. both ipods do not show in "my computer" so i cannot even backup my songs! ah well. i just need to get the driver for the ipod i suppose. please help, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

i have been having the same problem. My laptop was upgrade to windows vista and worked perfectly fine with my ipod and with others which had previously been used with the computer when it was running XP. My IPOD unfortunately crashed and need to be replaced. I brought it back to the laptop and connected it. it was not recognised but the others still are!
I have been looking on the internet and you are the only other i can find who is suffering this problem. i have looked in device manager and the new ipod is recognised as a 'other device', whereas the ipod that still works is classed as a 'portable device'. i have looked at the drivers and tried to install them by copying the drivers on the original ipod, but have not succeded. Since updating itunes to 7.2 i have been getting a 'do not disconnect' message on the ipod but it still does not appear in the sources list in itunes.
I have tried everything and am about to give up please HELP!
Someone somewhere must know a way around this........ as the London apple store "has never heard of this problem"

Movie downloaded from itunes not playing on ipod video

I bought a movie off of itunes and downloaded it to my ipod video. But the movie won't play on my ipod. It plays perfectly fine on my computer. Why isn't playing on my ipod video? Is there something i have to do first before videos are able to play on my ipod?

Is it one film or all of them? I'm having a similar problem where this one film I accidentily deleted that used to play got reloaded and now plays fine on my computer but won't sync onto my iPod. Everything's checked off and ready to go on my computer, but when I sync the film simply isn't there.

Downloaded the A-Team to my ipod video but can't find it

hello, I had just recently purchased the ipod video and over the weekend decided to test it out and I downloaded from apple's website the A-team now i can view it on my itunes under tv show but when i look for it on my ipod video there is no drop down menu for TV show i see videos,music,photos but no menu for TV show what can i do?
thanks

i can view it on my itunes under tv show but when i look for it on my ipod video there is no drop down menu for TV show
I would contact ITMS and "REQUEST" they correct the matter. Whoever created the file did not properly include all of the required meta-data information which would create a valid path for file display on the iPod. Further, there seems to be a growing occurance (i.e., the lack of quality control) during the production of these files. While I might expect a small number of such files to crop up on occasion, I expect a commercial marketer to respond in a professional manner or suffer the legal ramifications of their failure to correct known product defects.
Be that as it may, you can of course, temporarily work around the problem by creating a "Playlist" to contain your TV episodes by series title. Just remember to order them properly within the playlist to maintain proper play order.

Ipod Video to TV does not work :(

I just bought the iPod AV Connection Kit today, it came with the Universal Dock a RCA cable that connects to line out, but for some reason I have trouble displaying videos. It seems like my sound works but video does not show up on TV.
I tried changing setting on iPod to TV>ON still does not work, I tried S-Video still no picture. Can anyone help? Is my cord or dock defectetive? Thanks
iPod Video Windows XP

There is no "Photos" library in itunes, this is why its not listed in iTUnes source list. On the PC it just takes photos from the folder you tell it to to add to the iPod.
What you have to do is on the ipod, goto Photos>Slide show settings>TV Out and set it to "On" or "Ask" whichever you prefer.
On - This setting sends the signal/Photo to the TV screen and not on the ipod screen.
Ask - This setting means everytime on the ipod it will ask you (When you goto slide show) if you want to turn TV Out on or off

Cannot delete playlists from iPod Video

When I connect mu iPod Video to my PC or laptop using Windows XP, my iTunes opens, my iPod is recognized yet I can't see any playlists anywhere in my iPod when connected to the computers. When I disconnect, I have 6 different playlists that I've created over time. I want to delete these as needed. They seem to be created from my "On The Go" playlist when I create one. How can I delete? I've read and followed instructions on the Help site. The biggest problem is that there are no playlists shown when I select iPod from the source list once connected. I can't try to delete if I can't see it.

To clear the entire On-the-Go playlist, on your IPOD go to Music>Playlist>On-the-Go>Clear Playlist
To remove an individual song in a On-the-Go playlist, select the song in the playlist, press and hold the center button until the song flashes.
Hope that helps you!

Trouble with a new iPod video (and a question)

My new iPod video is causing my computer to freeze when I connect it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. After that, it seemed to be going OK, but it only downloaded about 500m (of a total of 50g) before iTunes froze again and stopped downloading (of course the "Do Not Disconnect" icon on the iPod stayed there, but I had no choice but to disconnect it!).
All of my music is on an external Seagate hard drive coming in through one of my USB inputs. The iPod is on the other USB input. Could this be part of the problem? I don't think it's a drive letter issue since it did start downloading the last time before freezing.
Also, I'm wondering if I can use my old firewire cable from my previous iPod to speed up the transfer process once I actually get the thing working.
Any help would be much appreciated!
