ITunes 7.0.1 freezes with iPod Video

Hi,
i am using iTunes 7.0.1 with an iPod Video.
The installation works fine, but when ever i try to sync iTunes with my iPod it freezes.
I found no way to solve this problem. Only downgrade to iTunes 6.5. works (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=643810&tstart=15) but i want to use the new version of iTunes, because i also have a new iPod nano, who needs version 7 or higher!
Has anyone a solution?
Thanks, Helmut

Hi,
i have found an answer for the problem.
Delet all data on my ipod an make a new
syncronisation.
After that everyting works fine.
I tried this but it still freezes even after "restoring" the ipod. Could it be that it wont sync with 17Gig of library on my computer (3 years old)?

Nike + for use with Ipod Video

can i use the nike + with my ipod video. i already have the nike 180 for use with the chip. i bought them because they were great runing shoes and just found out i could put the chip in them for $35. i have a video but not a nano aand i would really like to use the chip to track my progress. buying a nano would cost 200+ and i was just wondering if i can use it with my video. thanks

I'm sorry, but this doesn't make any sense. There are products made to run with iPod videos
It is what it is.
The Nike+iPod product is for the Nano only. Doesn't matter why.
If you know of other products that do the same thing as the Nike+iPod product, and it works for the 5th Gen iPod... then go buy one of those.
Then you go on to say that Apple isn't promoting the use of iPod video
That's not exactly what was said. The user who posted that indicated that Apple is only promoting the use of the Nike+iPod in conjuntion with the Nano.
Well, obviously, there isn't any harm for people to excersise with this product if there are accessories for that purpose.
Doesn't change the fact that the Nike+iPod product is for the Nano only.
If you have a suggestion for Apple, and would like to see the Nike+ product work with other iPods, then you can submit feedback to Apple here:

Boynq iCube Docking Station work with iPod Video ?

I am very interested in this product. But not sure if Boynq iCube Docking Station work with iPod Video ? Has anyone out there with a ipod video also has this. Does it dock well with say iPod Video 30G ?

as long as it has the same connecter it should be fine.
if you get one make sure the ipod fits in the cradle well.
if it wiggles too much or seems to be leaning further back than it should either put something around it to keep it standing up or return it and get a different kind.

I'm not certain I understand the problem: have you re-installed iTunes 6 and now are unable to purchase iTunes Store music?
I have an iPod Mini and have used it flawlessly with iTunes 7 on both a G5 iMac and a G4 Cube under 10.4.7, so "incompatibility" is not the issue here.
iTunes 6.0.5 indeed does continue to allow iTunes Store music purchases...if your problem persists, get back to us here with more info!

Video purchased from iTunes Music Store not compatible with my video iPod?

I purchased the White Stripes music video for "The Hardest Button to Button" from iTunes, but when I plug in my video iPod, it says it can't copy it over because it "can't be played" on my iPod. I don't understand what to do! All the other videos I've purchased from iTunes has copied/played fine...
Can someone please help me figure out what to do? Is it a bad video and I need to seek a replacement from Apple? I'm using iTunes 6.1, not the newest iPod updater (because of all the problems with it), video iPod, and Windows XP.
Thanks!

I need help! I've followed some suggestions from people at the IGN forums, but nothing has worked so far. I'm in the process of waiting on a reply from Apple.
Please help!

Itunes Freezing with iPod sync

Hi There,
So when I plug my iPod into the computer and load up itunes. I get prompted with a unauthorization of a few songs (due to an older itunes account; I merged with my girlfriend) Secondly, it then proceeds to update all the songs on my iPod(all 382 of them). When it gets to about number 56 it freezes.
I restored factory settings on the iPod, I unstalled (in the order listed in apple support, and then restalled the itunes.
Any ideas on how to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a similar problem with my iPod however the max I've ever got to is 8 songs. I've looked alot into this as it's really frustrating because my iPod was an Xmas present I was really excited about. I still have no solution to the problem however I have found out that it's not the iPod it's iTunes. Not much help I know, but it's something

Problem with iPod Video (30gb) since update

Hi all.
I, today have had a slight problem with the iPod updater on my iPod Video. I have installed the newest version of itunes (6.0.2 I think), which prompted me to install the newest iPod updater with it, I downloaded that and installed it. After installing I ran the updater, it began to finish the installation and my computer froze (I'm using a new hard drive in my computer and found out thats the problem). My iPod, now, when I turn it on has a blank white screen, I've tried the resetting method (toggle hold, then hold menu and select 6 - 10 seconds) and the light goes away, the ipod beeps 3 times and the white screen comes back. Can anybody please help me? I have tried running the installer again and it just freezes, and when the iPod is plugged into the pc itunes doesn't start, how I had it configured.
Please help!!
Apreciated - Sam.
* I have also browsed the whole website thoroughly and found nothing. I have also tried google, and found nothing relating to my problem *

I am leaving soon on a trip and would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks

24" iMac AlSiO does not boot with iPod video on USB dock

Hello all,
I have already reported this as an issue with Apple.
I noticed that when I turn on my new iMac with the video iPod on the dock connected via USB, I only see the gray screen and the OS does not start. However, once I remove the iPod from the dock, then the Apple logo will show up, and the circular moving tiny line counters will ensue before the login screen appears.
Just wondering if anyone else is running into this problem.

Thanks for the suggestions den.thed and elmac.
I have done the following:
- Selected the Mac OS X on the MacHD as the startup disk and locked that from further changes. Restarting the iMac did not work.
- Verified and repaired permissions. Restarted the iMac and it did not work either.
In addition, I also tried:
- Restoring the video iPod and leaving it without contents. Rebooting the iMac worked.
- Syncing iTunes with the iPod after the restore. The rebooting problem appears again.
It seems like some synced items on the iPod are causing the issue as odd as that sounds.
I did not have this problem with my G5 iMac.
Since there is a workaround, I'll just live with that for now.
Thanks again.

Songs won't sync with iPod Video

I have a new iPod Video 60GB. I just downloaded Tom Petty's Greatest Hits. The songs appear in iTunes under "Purchased" and in my iTunes library. But they will not copy to my iPod.
I installed the iPod Updater 2006-06-28. I have the latest version of iTunes 6.0.5.20. The iPod appears in iTunes with the 3500+ other songs in my library. But the 18 songs I just downloaded WILL NOT UPDATE TO MY IPOD!!!
Guys... I live in Costa Rica. Banda ancha is a ***** here. When I download music, I want it now!!! Do you have any idea how long a 57MB update for an iPod takes to download on ISDN??!!! HELP!!!
iPod Vedeo 60MB Windows XP SP2 and all latest Windows Updates.

If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
The following articles will help you.

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:

Syncing/Charging Problem with iPod Video 5G

I am experiencing a problem with my iPod Video 5G. When pressing the center button of the device, the apple logo appears. But before it completely starts up, it dies, leaving the screen with a faint apple logo and some lines. When I plug the iPod into my PC, a screen is displayed saying "Please Wait, Very Low battery." After a while, it restarts, and fully comes on, displaying the "Do Not Remove" screen. But a message shows up saying "No Battery Power Remains. Connect iPod to Computer". However, the battery meter in the top right hand corner shows a a completely charged battery. Also, it starts to beep. The iPod briefly shows up in iTunes, but then it shuts off, displaying a "very low battery" message again, and an error message comes up in iTunes. This whole process keeps repeating over again. This all came up out of no where, as I had used the iPod a few hours before this started. I have no idea what's wrong with it. Could it be the battery? Or the hard drive? I would appreciate any help greatly.

Go to the video settings (iPod nano) and turn off fit to screen.

Movies and TV Shows will not sync with iPod Video 80gb -

Okay, here is the problem:
I have an iPod Video. Previously, I have had roughly 20 movies that I ripped from my OWN DVD's to mp4 format. They all played fine and synced fine with my iPod.
Then I updated my iTunes version to 7, and now I cannot get the Movies or TV shows to sync to my iPod. I get no error message. I cannot get them to sync manually or automatically. I spoke to tech support and they refused to help me because they only offer sync support for content purchased from iTunes. Of course, when I told them that I had purchased several TV shows from iTunes, they told me to send an email to the iTunes store and have them let me re-download the tv shows??
What is going on here? It worked fine before? Same iPod, same computer? The movies are either mp4 format or h.264?
Help!

I'm having extremely similar problems with my ipod right now
The only differences are: I have a 30gb and I already have movies on my ipod, it just won't let me add anything new to it!
I have about 12gb of free space left (the movie I want to add isn't that big)
I can manage (add/delete) songs and photos on it, it's just not letting me do anything with my movies! It keeps saying this whenever I try to copy my movie to it "[movie name] was not copied to ipod because it can't be played on this ipod." Which is total BS because there are already about 34 movies/music videos on it!
Help!!
Oh, ps, it's not letting me put album artwork on there anymore either... due to error code -50 (which I have NOT been able to find any help articles on!)

How do I import MP3 files to itunes and then downloand them to iPOD Video

I have just recently acquired a 60Gb ipod video and I have folder with the name of artist with MP3 format music files on my hard drive. How do I copy them to itunes and the ipod in MP3 format and if they need to be converted into another format to itunes and the the ipod, please advise me how I convert them. My email address is [email protected] for sending copies of your reply to this posting. Many thanks

mondrayuk,
- Open iTunes
- File=>Add Folder
- Browse to the location of the MP3 folder
- Click OK
Depending on how you prefer iTunes to manage your Library, wither the files will be copied to the default iTunes music folder and a reference will be created within iTunes,
-OR-
Just a reference will be created within iTunes to the current location of the MP3 files without a copy made in the iTunes folder.
iTunes and the iPod can play MP3 music files. No conversion is required.
Most of us here do not respond via email. Hope you understand....

Crazy upload problem with Ipod Video

I have an Ipod Video 60gb that I've had no trouble with for a month. Suddenly, when I connect with Itunes to upload music, Itunes identifies the Ipod as having 190gb with 130-150gb already full. This is despite the fact that I've just restored my operating system on the Ipod and wiped it clean with Ipod Updater (6-28-06). Another interesting this is that after restoring the operating system, Itunes still knows the name of the Ipod and has a song list already attributed to it (on the Ipod view in Itunes) as if I've already got music on there. When I restored with Ipod Updater, it also thought I had 190gb. Itunes does the sync process and finishes normally, but there are no songs on the Ipod when it finishes. It's almost like there's two partitions on the Ipod and I can only see one of them. Crazy! Any thoughts?

Go to the video settings (iPod nano) and turn off fit to screen.

Many Problems With Ipod Video--Corrupt Hard Drive?

Hello,
I got this iPod 30 GB the christmas of 2005. Ever since a few weeks ago, my iPod started giving me my corrupt messages, so then, I kept restoring and it was fine. This again happened to me recently and haven't resolved it yet. So here is my story:
I did the 5R's = Nothing
I renamed it later in the alphabet = Nothing.
I also must add that I have plugged it in and when I go to 'my computer' to try and format like others said, it freezes; on the 'my computer' & 'iTunes'. I really hope you guys can help me.
I also noticed when I was looking at the about section on my iPod, it says my capacity is like 27.8 GB and available is 10.4 GB, so I don't know if that will help.
I really don't want to buy a new one and hopefully you guys can help me out. Thanks in advance.

No problem. Have you tried this iPod on another computer?
Also, while everything else is disconnected, connect your iPod and force it into disk mode. If your computer can see it, reformat your iPod (FAT32, not a quick format) and then give it a drive letter of M or P.
Disconnect the iPod and reload the USB Driver:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
Pay attention to the last item in the article, and reload the USB driver even if no new ones are available for your computer.
Reconnect your iPod and see if you can Restore it.
