Ipod video needs to be reset when using shuffle songs.

I like to shuffle my 4800 plus songs on my new ipod, but I have noticed that after turning it off for an extended period of time usually a couple hours or over night, it needs to be reset. I have not tried to retore it as of yet, but I plan on to see if that helps. Has anyone else experienced this?

IPod Video needs XP

I just came back from the "Apple Store" after getting frusterated with the new update killing my iPod. The guy in the store successfully restored my iPod after much hastle. I was the instructed to just go home a plug it into my laptop.
Unfortunately now my computer doesnt want to recognize it (because it was restored on an Apple laptop). It wants me to reformatt it for windows. But it will not let me update.
Any suggestions to get it running on XP again?
Thanks

Tv shows to video ipod..wont import

i purchased a tvshow from itunes and i got it to import on to my ipod and when i went to sync my ipod to upgrade the songs and videos the tvshow disapeered from the ipod but it still in my library.
How do i get it back on my ipod!?!?!

I'm not too sure why but I think iTunes (video) is featured to be able to playback most of quicktime format videos. Handy for most but lil confusing for new ipod users. Meaning you're able to store any quicktime videos in iTunes for instant playback on desktop. But for iPod to be able to play it back, it has to be of a specific format. Either m4v/mp4 with mp3/aac audio with average bitrate no more than 640kbps.
Having quicktime pro should help you a bit with the conversion. In short it can help you compress prefereably higher quality video to the lower quality iPod format and never vise versa. In QTPro, Open the video/mov file that you want to have into your iPod. Then select Export As (Apple+E).... and you will see one of the choices as Movie to iPod (320x240). The rest should be dandy from then on. Import the exported file into iTunes or directly into your iPod's video folder.
If you're refering to wmv video which is played back with quicktime thru 3rd party plugin like Flip4Mac, these are definite no go for iPods which only takes quicktime format.
These advise are all from personal experience. Best to ask the video experts or google-up on video conversion and compressions for ipods. Good luck!

Ipod Video and Alpine CDE-9852 Problem.

I'm having problems with my new Alpine CDE-9852, and my black 60 gig ipod Video (1.11 software verison).
When I first pluged in my Ipod to the unit I got Error 01, my first thought was that I needed to install software on the ipod, but from reading the owners manual I didn't see anything about that.
With the car still running I unpluged the Ipod and pluged it back in, it worked. I Went though the menu's, played all kindas of songs, no problems.
When I got home I thought I would play with it a bit, because it takes forever to go throw all my songs.
Then it just stoped working, getting Error 01, sometimes it would connect and get the check mark, but you couldn't control the Ipod, sometimes it would connect with the alpine logo showing my ipod, but when I go from track to track in a playlist it would crash and give me Error 01.
I have noticed that it would connect if I played a song on my Ipod but paused it, connected it to the cable, then started the car.
But it would still soon crash.
I just bought the unit from bestbuy today, I'm going to go back tomorrow and see if they can replace it or something.
maybe the cable needs to be repluged in.

Drove all the way to work, went thought my artists, played differnet stuff no problems.
I'm still going to go to bestbuy today and see if I can duplicate the issue, with them watching.

ITunes not recognizing iPod Video on my MacBook...any solution?

I have read similar problems but no replies. I have a new MacBook and iTunes doesn't recognize my 30GB iPod Video. All software is up to date. I have to reset the iPod and then it syncs. I am assuming it may be the iTunes version. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance.

well i have gone through this discussion page ever since my mini broke back over thanksgiving break and in the other discussions we figured out that windows did one of their automatic updates which is blocking itunes from our ipods. some people have found fixes but none have worked for me. and i called the apple support MANY times and they give NO support. i was just about to buy the video ipod but now im kinda reconsidering since my mini isnt even working. but if you look at some of the other topics in this forum maybe one of these people's fixes could work for you, (they dont ALL work for EVERYBODY, but they could work for you.)

Movie Rental doesn't transfer to iPod Video

Just downloaded my first rental movie off iTunes (ver 7.7.1 (11)) to give it a try. Tried to sync with iPod video (latest rev software) and it comes up in the sync menu as 'download' not as the movie title. It appears in iTunes under a Rental Movie folder with all the details. However, When I try to play it on my ipod it just comes up with a blank screen and seems to be only 400MB in size not the 1.3GB its supposed to be.
I have tried the following
- Resetting the ipod
- Rebooting my iMac
- Manually transferring the movie across to the iPod.
Can you suggest some fixes that might enable me to re-sync, re-index or fix the problem. Or tell me who to call to reverse the charge on the movie rental.

What sort of "iPod video: is it that you have? Your problem may lie with the model you have. Rental Movies will only play on the iPod Classic (not the 5th Generation iPod), the iPod Touch, the iPod Nano with video and the iPhone:

Need help with ipod video, problems with blinking screen, wont charge

Hello,
I'm a new owner of an ipod video, and I've had it for not even two weeks and haven't used it but 3 or 4 times, and I went to turn it on and nothing happened, so I figured the battery died. Then I hooked it up to the usb and computer (windows xp OS) and nothing except a fast blinking white screen and a low noise, not music though. It wont charge, and I even reinstalled everything and used all the tips online- any words of advice except to take it to an apple store?

Apple decided to hide the user library folder with OS10.7. You can get to it by using the menu.
Quit Illustrator.
Method one....
In the Finder choose Go > Go To Folder and type "~/Library" (no quotes) and hit OK.
Your Library folder will open.
Then navigate to ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings
Move that Settings folder to your desktop.
Restart Illustrator and try exporting again.
If it works as expected, you can trash teh Settings folder on your desktop.
Since you're removing preferences, items like Scratch Disk settings will need to be reconfigured in Illustrator if you've altered them from the default settings.
Second method.....
Hold Command-Option-Shift when you launch Illustrator.
Preferences will be removed.
You won't get any sort of dialog or window confirming this, it just happens.
Reason for two methods.
Method one allows you to put the settings folder back if yoru problem is not cured by removing it. It also allows you to move items back to the new Settings folder that is created (like Workspaces).

How to import dvds to ipod video

i have just learned that it is possible to import your own dvds and watch them on the ipod video. what 3rd party software do i need, and what are the steps i can take to accomplish this?
and also- how long is the battery life for the ipod video?
thank you

try this. you could have found the same thing by typing your subject into the search instead of a post.
you'll get about 2.5 hrs of video play if you manage your battery well.

My ipod nano wont let me download video i downloaded off of my computer

my ipod nano wont let me sync my videos on my computer

Not all video format downloaded from iTunes is compatible with ipod nano. Make sure that the file extnesion is mp4 or any quicktime formats. If not, create a version on these format using iTunes or convert using a third party software. Cheers!

Ipod Video wont turn on

Hello all,
Lately I have been having problems syncing my ipod video to my computer. Because of this I restored the ipod and updated the to the latest software version. Now after restarting the ipod it will not get past the apple logo that you get with you restart your ipod, it just keeps flashing that screen as if it is stuck on bootup or somthing. I am able to get into disk mode but that really does nothing for me. Any ideas? any help would be greatly appreciated.
windows Windows XP Pro

Hey
Yup, I have the newest restore program. I plug the ipod into the computer in disk mode because that is the only mode the computer will recognize it. I then open the update program and it sees the ipod and I am able to restore it. This particular time I left it for quite a while so that I was making sure it didnt miss anything. The updater program says that it is finished and the ipod says do not disconnect and it is flashing so I assume it is functioning correctly. I then tried to add my songs back to the ipod, but it says the disk cannot be written to, I thought maybe I needed to initialize the disk but could not find that option anywhere. After attempting to update the ipod that is when the "do not disconnect" stops flashing and it freezes. I then try to reset it but it just freezes at the bootup screen.

Imovie media browser only has one option, "Mobile". other videos had option for medium and small. mobile option wont import into iDVD. other videos gave me the Medium option, why not this one?

help! imovie media browser only has one option, "Mobile". other videos had option for medium and small. mobile option wont import into iDVD. other videos gave me the Medium option, why not this one? need answers ASAP!

That is your answer then.
Large is 960x540
Medium is 640x480 (or 720x480)
Mobile is probably 480x272.
It is offering you the sizes that make sense given the size of your source material.
As a trick, you might try this. In your project, put a short 640x480 clip in the project as the first clip of the project. Then keep the rest of the project as is. See if it will let you share now in Medium. It will not look as good, because there are not enough pixels to cover the Medium size, but it might work.
