Itunes 8 enable coverflow for ipod 5g?

hi there. itunes 8 (just updated to 8.0.1) mac os x tiger 10.4.11, using ipod 5g video (30gb). when i have itunes open and the ipod plugged in i'd like to view my ipod contents using coverflow, but "as list," "as grid," and "as coverflow" are disabled when i navigate my ipod in the app. i can view all the content on my computer (playlists, music, movies, podcasts, etc) using coverflow, but not the ipod.
is there a way to enable coverflow (or grid) in itunes for the contents of a connected ipod 5g video?

You can only see the list view on an iPod in iTunes, there's no option to enable any other views.

ITunes keep saying "Waiting for iPod" and cannot restore

When i try to restore my iPod, it keeps in waiting for ipod and in the ipod an apple and an empty bar..
Oh and i got the ipod so many months ago and I found it but when I connected it to itunes it said in serial number: n/d, ios: n/d , etc !
help please, is an ipod touch 4g 32gb !

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

i keep getting this error message that says "there was a problem downloading the ipod software for ipod "ipod". The requested resource was not found" the ipod is recognized, but the generation, serial number, capacity, and software version(most recently installed was 1.2.1), and name is not recognized. please help.

Hi krazyfreshkid!
Try disconnecting your iPod from your computer.
Then, restart your computer. Force your iPod into disk mode, following the steps here:
Putting iPod into disk mode
Then, when your computer has fully loaded up, connect your iPod to your computer.
To do still get that error message in iTunes?
Also, if that doesn't affect anything, these five iPod troubleshooting steps would be worth a try:

When will itunes develop ios 7 for ipod touch 4G??????? .

ITUNES TEAM AND THE DEVELOPERS NEED TO DEVELOP IOS 7 FOR IDEVICES THAT ARE CURRENTLY INCOMPATIBLE FOR IOS 7 BECAUSE IT IS TOTALLY UNFAIR AND BIASED FOR SOME TO HAVE AN IOS DEVICE WHICH IS NOT RUNNING ON THE LATEST SOFTWARE RELEASED!!!!!!!!
I HOPE MY WORDS ARE HEARD AND ARE BEING SUPPORTED BY THE REST IOS DEVICE USERS WHO FEEL THE SAME WAY AND ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.THANK YOU!!!!!

Never. It doesn't have enough RAM to run iOS 7, and there have been iOS devices incapable of running the latest release for three and a half years.

Used ITunes to Convert Video for IPod, But No Go!

I have a video from a vodcast I want to play on my video IPod. I used ITunes to convert the video from the .mov to .mv4 format. The video plays well in ITunes (in both formats). But when I try to sync it to my IPod, I get the warning that it cannot play on this IPod.
The thing is, I'm able to sync other .mv4 or .mp4 files on the IPod.
Anyone with information as to what's going on?

"Optimising Photos for iPod" Does this affect photos in iPhoto Library?

Hi,
I have a question regarding syncing pictures which are stored in my iPhoto library with my iPod touch.
I notice when I sync photos I get a message that iTunes is "optimising photos for iPod"
1) Does this mean that 'quality' of the photos is reduced/compressed?
If so, does this mean that any picture downloaded onto my iPod, it's quality is reduced within iPhoto app.
or
2) The original quality of the photo is unchanged within iPhoto and it's only the synced photo which is 'optimised' for the sync process?
I hope this makes sense!
Thanks...........

Hi Dave,
Don't worry, iTunes only mangles, er I mean "optimises" the photos on your Touch.
The originals will stay intact on your computer, if you look in the photo file you sync with there should be another file called "iPod Photo Cache" where the marmalised ones are stored.
Dud.
ps. any photo, regardless of size gets butchered to a max of 640x480 and file size approx 650kb.

ITunes - Connecting more than 1 IPod Video

If there are 2 IPod videos owned - a 30gb and 80gb, how can you prevent Ipod 30gb from updating with all the material in the ITunes Library Downloaded / Imported for IPod 80gb and vice versa? the owners have different music tastes and don't want the others music on their own IPod.

Hi Trekker,
You can set preferences in iTunes to synchronise your iPods manually rather than automatically:
To set iTunes to let you manage music and video on iPod manually:
1 In iTunes, select iPod in the Source pane and click the Summary tab.
2 In the Options section, select “Manually manage music and video.”
3 Click Apply.
Note: When you manage songs and video yourself, you must always eject iPod from
iTunes before you disconnect it.
To add a song, video, or other item to iPod:
1 In the iTunes Source pane, click Music or another Library item.
2 Drag a song or other item to the iPod icon in the Source pane.
To remove a song, video, or other item from iPod:
1 In iTunes, select iPod in the Source pane.
2 Select a song or other item on iPod and press the Delete or Backspace key on your
keyboard.
If you manually remove a song or other item from iPod, it is not deleted from your
iTunes library.
To make a new playlist on iPod:
1 In iTunes, select iPod in the Source pane, and then click the Add button or choose
File > New Playlist.
2 Type a name for the playlist.
3 Click an item, such as Music, in the Library list, and then drag songs or other items to
the playlist.
To add songs to or remove songs from a playlist on iPod:
m Drag a song to a playlist on iPod to add the song. Select a song in a playlist and press the Delete key on your keyboard to delete the song.
I copied that from the manual - hope that helps!

I've tried looking in preferences,itunes help doc. and stretching the window using the mouse, to no avail.
Thanks for your time.
Any help would be appreciated.

[Restore] "Waiting for iPod to become Ready"? [ver 1.2 iTunes 7.0]

I just updated my iTunes from version 6.0.5 to 7.0. This install also updated my iPod. My iPod is no longer read by my computer or any other. ***? Now when I attmept to connect it to any Mac it freezes up and fails to mount. Come on apple. Also, why the is there no longer an iPod preference section in the new iTunes. I keep trying to Restore the firmware, but I keep getting the "Waiting for iPod to become ready" message.
Attempted solutions:
• Re-installing iTunes 7.0 (no luck)
• Resetting the iPod (no luck)
• Forcing the iPod into disk mode (no luck)
• Re-installing iPod software (iPod won't mount...so that didn't work)

I had the same problem and was able to fix it by following the directions on resetting the iPod, renaming the iPod and also ensuring that I removed any files that might not be understood by the iPod from the 'notes' folder on the iPod (if you have enabled disk access):
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3111498#3111498
PS: If you need to get out of the 'Do not disconnect' screen so that you can apply these changes you need to hold down the 'menu' and 'select' or center button until you see the Apple logo. When the iPod mount you can proceed to reset the iPod to original settings which will erase everything from the iPod but not your iTunes library on your computer

Do you have to have iTunes on a Windows PC for iPod to be seen as a removab

Do you have to have iTunes on a Windows PC for iPod to be seen as a removable drive?
I know that you have to "enable disk use" on a Windows PC with itunes 1st, but after this can you take the iPod to any Windows PC (Specifically without iTunes on) and the iPod will be seen as a removable disk so you can move data back and forward?
cheers
Loc

It will show up just like a drive in My Computer. Yes, you can drag and drop.
You do not need to allocate any space for disk use. Just check the option in iTunes (to enable disk use)
Just keep in mind that the iPod is not meant to be an external drive. If the HD is continuously used, it may shorten the life of your iPod. (This is if it is excessively used)

I had a similar problem and your link helped me to solve the problem. Recently I changed my ethernet network card and since then my itunes worked strangely: itunes store worked, podcasts worked, mini-store doesn't, ipod update doesn't and diagnostics says that I had no Internet connection. Attached you can see the report.
It's weired that itunes is based in LAN Connections for sometinhgs and not for the others. Crazy!
Thanks and good luck with your problem.

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

What happens when the iPod is plugged in? anything? any errors?
Why is 50GB of music gone? All music should exist on the computer. Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch n

Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
Can you help me?
Thanks

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
