Is the iPod video supposed to suck out of the box?

I just purchased a brand new 30 GB iPod video and
it's awful right out of the box. Everytime I start
it up for some reason I get that Apple restart screen
but nothing is restarted. When I click on a song
under and album it takes 30 seconds to a minute for
music to even start and when it does it's two or
three songs later than what I actually clicked on.
It's also incredibly slow switching songs and menus,
especially songs.
I heard the iPod videos can just be like this and
many are. Is this true? If so, back to the drawing
board, Apple.
Also, is anyone else upset it doesnt support firewire?
I read it now supports firewire but i don't believe it. Well I got a new a 30 Gig Video Ipod too and it works like a charm, you probaly got a defected model, it happens, and if you have a warranty get it replaced because even the limited warranty from apple will take it back if its defected (just don't say you dropped it even if you did).

I have Ipod nano 3rd generation that I use to listen to audiobooks in my car. I turn the ipod off when I get out of the car and when I restart the ipod, it doesn't start where I left off. Any suggestions

I recently received an Ipod nano 3rd generation, which I use to listen to audiobook in my car. Every time I leave the car, I stop the Ipod and take it with me. When I return to the car and start up the Ipod, it does not pick up where I left off in the book. Any suggestions?

It could be that the CD player will only playback "Redbook" CD's from the previous position.
And starts mp3 type CD's from the beginnig.
However.. it's not Logic related.

Planning to get the ipod video but before I do 1 question?

Is there a way to put your own movies on the ipod video or can you only have the music videos that come off itunes?

Try Nero 6. Nero Recode DVD and Videos to Nero Digital. Make sure you change the Nero Digital Profile to PORTABLE. You can set the audio to 112K, and set video to automatic. After saving in your folder, just click and drag to your iPod. Voila!

What is the case that comes with the iPod Video?

My Friend just got a Nano and the case that came with is is just like a little sleeve that the iPod slides into....it also has no access to any controls (hold button, Dock connector, Click whell, etc.) and cannont see the screen.. you have to take the ipod out to use it....is it that same thing for the iPod video?
Dell Windows XP Pro Future owner of iPod video 30GB or 60GB (5G)

The case that came with my 5th generation black iPod video sounds similar to the one you're describing. It is totally enclosed and the only items that I have access to are the headphone jack (top) and the hold button (also on the top). If I put the iPod into the case upside down I can have access to the usb connector. This isn't meant to be a case for use (other than turning it on and going) but I've been able to push through the case to skip songs, rewind, etc.
So, in short, it's nothing fancy but it has done a good job of protecting my iPod against scratches.

Firefox won't close down all the way after watching a video. I exit out, and the sound continues. When I try to re-open firefox, I get a message about how I have to restart my computer. How do I fix this?

Basically whenever I watch a video and I exit out of the video I have to restart my computer to get Firefox back open. If I exit out or go to a new page while the video is playing, the audio continues like nothing has happened. I've checked my task manager and it shows that Firefox is closed. When I try to re-open Firefox I get an error message that tells me Firefox is running but is unresponsive and I have to restart my computer. How do I get it to stop doing this?

Try holding control, alt and delete down in succession and then a dialogue box will appear with windows task manager. Once open click on the Processes Tab and look for firefox.exe. Highlight this and then click end process. It should come up with a warning but just click Yes. This should then close firefox and allow you to reopen it from your desktop without shutting down your computer. Hope this helps.

How Do You Get Your DVD's onto the iPod Video?

Is there a way to transfer my movies onto the iPod video? Will I need to buy the Quick Time Pro and then convert the video to mp4? Will that even work?
Anyone put their movies on the iPod and can share?
Thanks.

yall are all going the wrong way.
there's 2 pieces of software you'll need (they're free!!!):
nero recode 2 CE
DVD decrypter (probably hard to find on the internet now)
use DVD decrypter to rip the DVD (here's a link for instructions but forget about the videora part, videora is slow http://www.duke.edu/~ds53/ipodguide.htm)
after u get the VOB files from DVD decrypter, use nero recode to convert (it says burn in the program) the video to an mpeg-4 video. you'll need to tweak the settings a bit:
set the size: select video thent he resize tab and enter 320 for the width and 240 for the height and hit OK. make sure that "Fit to target is not checked. press next
under burn options, choose where u want to save the video file. under nero digital settings, check the expert mode box and look for the encoding method setting. choose 2-pass. next, under advanced, ensure that the "simple Profile" box is checked.
press burn and just add it to ur itunes library like it'a a song.
whew.
i got these steps from a book btw. if you want to know the name and the details of the book, send me an email ([email protected])
hope this helped (probably will, i have 7 full-length movies on my ipod right now) in case your wondering, the movies are: the fast and the furious, 2 fast 2 furious, fantastic 4, school of rock, spiderman, spiderman 2 and, finally, I,Robot

There was a problem downloading the software for the ipod. Network connection timed out

There was a problem downloading the software for the ipod. Network connection timed out. This is for the latest ios for the iPod touch. Already walked through the steps to validate that all settings were correct with the firewall, Windows defender has been disabled. This has not been an issue with previous ios updates. Not sure what the issue here is.

Hi,
You might have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
Hope this helps!

Where on my Mini do i put the iPod 'video' i've taken?

Where on my Mini do i put the iPod 'video' i've taken?
I connect my iPod to my MacMini, and then what?
I tried importing or dragging it from my iPod to iMovie on my Mac, but it resisted, that din't work.
i don't think a video goes to my iPhoto on my Mac.
So where, how can i put it?
I'm just beginning to take video with the Camera on my iPod Touch. I didn't mean to, i thot i was just taking a picture, but there it is, a few seconds of video, so i thot i would learn to get it off my iPod and onto my computer somehow.
I will try your advice later, as i won't have much time today, but am anxious and will be grateful for your help.

Oh. O I C.
I'm guessing i just drag the video, while i've selected my connected iPod on my iPhoto screen, over to my iPhoto icon?
Or within my iPhoto screen i drag the video down to where, cuz i didn't see a place for it on iPhoto. Maybe it already transferred the video to iPhoto, and i can already delete it from my iPod.
Cuz that happened with some pictures i took on my iPod, which i dragged to iPhoto icon and was informed they were already there so i could delete pics from my iPod.
I'll try your advice later when i have time.
(i know i'm asking a lot of questions today, while i have time, and will try the answers later.)
thanks a whole lot, as always.

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
