Loading iPod videos...HELP!!!!

okay, i just got an iPod video from a friend who didnt want his anymore...it already came with a few music videos on it, so i no that part works. But i dont no how to load my own stuff on their! ive been reading some of these topics and they say to download videora...but that did nothing in my case. i tried to enable the video thingy by pressing 'iPod options' but when i click on the videos tab, im unable to click anything on their. WHAT DO I DO!?!

No it puts them in a folder; open Videora; and go to set-up; then go to where it says output videos to check to see where it is sending your convertered videos. After you find where the Videos are simply click and drag them into iTunes and you should see them load.
Also if you don't even know how to convert videos; go to Convert and click on Transcode New Video then it should open a window and you would need to look for the video you want to convert; after you found it select ok; then select start.

USB device not recognized - ipod video-help!!

when I connect my ipod video, I get a message "USB device not recognized", when I click, I get: "no drivers installed for this device". I have re-installed the ipod software, reset the ipod and re-installed itunes, just in case. I have been on this problem since Christmas. Any ideas at all, anybody?

IPod Video help please....

I'm trying to put videos onto my iPod video i just purchased, and am having alot of difficulty. Alot of my friends have iPod videos also and are trying to help, but no luck.
First off, when i open iTunes with the iPod connected everything works fine, i can open all music and videos and play them on iTunes just fine, i convert them to iPod and all is well while on computer. When i disconnect and try to watch the videos then all i get is the audio and a picture of what the video is. I place videos on the iPod manually by dropping them onto the iPod. When i try to adjust the iPod options menu, the VIDEOS tab is all greyed out (meaning nothing can be changed or selected). It almost seems like its not an iPod photo, any suggestions ??? I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software and updating the iPod over and over, but no success...

In your ipod, go to videos, video settings, then make sure that "tv out" says off.

Ipod video help.....PLEASE HELP!

I have music videos i want to put onto the ipod video 80GB ... but when i sync the ipod the music videos go to the movie section in the ipod but i want them to be placed in the music video directory.... can ne one please tell me how to do that... i have looked every where and i dunno how to.... i would really appreciate ur help!
thank you

If you convert them using quicktime you need to have pro for it to give sound.Prehaps a few more detawils about you're system set-up might give more clues to the problem.
There are various links in the forum to help you convert the movies : See Jeff Bryan's link in the thread - please help: TV shows
Sorry I couldn't be more help!

5th generation iPod video help!

I dropped my iPod video today and the iPod told me to restart it but when I plug it into the computer the inside started to make these scratchy sounds..?

It's likely that something was knocked out of place/damaged with the hard drive when your iPod was dropped. If the iPod is no longer functioning properly, it's a good sign that your hard drive needs to be replaced.

Ipod video HELP BADLY

im having trouble getting movies or music videos to my ipod and it bothering me can sum 1 help me please please IM me on aim LLLmstwantedLLL please get to me asap

If you have an iTunes store account, you can use the advanced/get album artwork menu in iTunes. As long as iTunes has the album that you are looking for it will add the artwork to your library. You don't need to purchase anything.
Here's another method.
Highlight a song or album in iTunes, then right click on it and select the "get album artwork" option.  Go to Google Image Search and type in the artist/album name and click on search images.   Double click on a picture you like, then at the top of that page click on "see full size image".   When you get that image, simply copy/paste it into the space for album artwork in iTunes.   Make sure you select the album in the browser of iTunes before you copy/paste.   You'd be surprised what Google Images can bring up. There are literally millions, and even obscure album artwork can be found.
In the unlikely event that Google can’t find an image, you can also get artwork from Amazon.
If you’re happy using images from Amazon, and don’t want to copy/paste, then iTunes Art Importer is a nice free program to do it for you.

Trouble down loading ipod software,help!

I purchased a nano ipod. when I went to down load the software it read that the ipod,system ui and itunes were disabled. When I ran Norton utilities it reported my "media " was disabled.
.What does this all mean and how can I fix it.
imac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hello bruce t. You have landed in the iSight Discussions area. If you do not get help from an iPod user here, try searching or posting in iPod nano Discussions.
By the way, Norton Utilities may have been OK for the older versions of Mac OS, but it is toxic to Mac OS X. If you want to confirm this, a quick search for "Norton" in the Mac OS X v10.3 & earlier Discussions area will put your mind at ease.
Uninstall Norton (do not just drag it to the trash) ASAP. Get info or uninstaller here: Uninstalling all Symantec Macintosh programs using the NortonUninstall removal utility.

Ipod Video Help... Taking Advantage of Everything

Okay I have a couple questions.
1) I am going to reformat my computer and want to use myipod to hold my files. Any opinions on this or would a CD/Zip backup be a better choice?
2) If i were to load pictures onto my ipod can i upload them onto another computer or is it a one way deal like with music?
3) Is there any other cool stuff i could be doing with my ipod or cool forums Im missing out on?
Thanks,
Will

here's some additional answers:
1. the chances that your iPod will malfunction or be stolen are slim. if you are using it as an external hard drive while you reformat, your files should be just fine. if you are reformatting your computer's hard drive to use a new OS or to just clean up the current OS, the iPod should be recognized without worry.
you should be fine.
2. follow BTABZ's advice on this. but in addition, you can manually store photos on the iPod by using it as an external hard drive (dragging the photo's into a folder on the iPod). these are not displayable on the iPod, of course.
3. There's a bunch of cool things to do! check it out:
- on the Mac you can turn text files into spoken Mp3 files to hear email, notes, or even webpages read to you.
- Notes: i use both Word and on the Mac, TextEdit, to create readable notes which i put on my iPod. Speeches, presentations, journals, email, etc... all right on the iPod for reading on a plane, train, or potty.
- Calendars: i use the Calendar feature every day. as a Mac user, it's easy to sync it up and have all my important dates right there.
- Contacts: again, once it's sync'd up, i have all my contacts right there.
- like BTABZ wrote, there's lots of accessories you can buy, too.
- check out iLounge.com. you might find some cool ideas there, too.
you'll have to research how to do some of this on the PC. but, as far as "can they be done," well... yeah. i hope this was helpful for you! good luck!

HELP!!!my pc n internet messes up when i plug in my ipod video.HELP!!

I have recently bought a new pc and it has been fine until today when i plugged in my video ipod with the new itunes and ipod software both installed and when i plug it in my internet connection stops and the pc becomes much slower and when I attempt to shut down the pc it will not do so.HELP Plz!!!

If this is a 2nd gen shuffle, are you using the USB docking cable that originally came with the shuffle (with a mini-dock)? The cable for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle does not work with the 2nd gen shuffle because the connector is different.
If you are using the correct cable, make sure the laptop is connected to its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). If there are other USB devices connected, you should try it with the shuffle as the only device. If it still does not work, confirm the USB port is working properly by connecting something else to the same port, preferably something similar like a USB flash drive or external drive.
If that doesn't help (and the USB port is confirmed to be working), you may have a faulty USB docking cable or there may be a hardware problem on the shuffle, such as bad headphones jack or faulty logic board.

IMac won't see my iPod video - help!

It's been working fine for ages and all of sudden froze while it was syncing ... and I disconnected it even though it said "do not disconnect". Clearly the beginning of the end ...
I have tried everything .... my iTunes is up-to-date, as is all of the software. I have done the resets, let the power drain completely, put it into disk mode - everything! Everytime I connect it, it freezes at the "do not disconnect" screen - and it is not recognized in iTunes or in Finder. I tried it on my iBook as well - same problem.
It still works, but will not sync and so I can't update it with podcasts, new music, etc - help!

Going back to the beginning and reading your first post again...You are unable to install 7.1.4. You are at 7.0. If you install 7.1.4 you can most likely use your camera with no third party workarounds.
Th upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1 was a major upgrade. So my recommendation would be to first download and install 7.1 Once you do this you will be able to upgrade to 7.1.4. [Get the download on this page|http://support.apple.com/downloads/#imovie]
There is a post on the FS100 which describes the exact steps to import from this camera. I assume you have seen this post. So go ahead and get the software updated. Be sure to run software update as well. At some point there was an iLife update that was required along with the iMovie update.

Ipod Video 30g wont turn on, any help why please?

So I have found this old ipod video I must have got when it first came out. It has been a while since it has been used, and it may be heavily damaged, I am not sure. But when I press any button it remains on the Apple loading screen, as in the dark background with a dimly lit apple logo. This ipod is way past any warranty, and I am trying to do a self repair to save some money. I already tried charging it no luck. I connected it to the computer and my computer never recognized it, I reset it (menu and select) no luck, put it in disc mode (pause/play and select) no luck. But the screen stays on at the Apple logo. Can anybody tell me how I can fix this problem or what is the cause of it. Thank you very much.
PS I am from Chicago so if anyone knows of any places that can help me for cheap let me know.

actually i tryed doing the thing where u hold put the usb cord into the ipod while holding the home button and i tryed to restore it and it came up with in error that said that its not eligible for the requested build. i dont have the newest version of itunes on my mac and i heard u need the newest version to get the newest software for the ipod touch and it said restore and UPDATE in the beginning so maybe thats the problem? idk plzzz someone help me!!
my last post has already been resolved so dont bother with that.

Ipod video keeps trying to restart.. HELP!

hopefully someone can help me fix my ipod without deleting all my files, which i cannot download agian...
i tried to change my ipod video to the ipod classic, after loading the classic firmwire in ipodwizard, my ipod has been trying to reboot over and over,it just keeps starting up and shutting off. can any body help me?
thanks..

That solution works, I had actually posted my problem with my ipod continuously trying to restart and never being able to restart. The other post's solution is correct, it will allow you to connect to your computer and itunes will recognize your ipod, restore it (yes you'll lose everything, I'm sorry and I know it stinks but it's the only thing I have found that works). The only issue I had with the solution was when I clicked restore on itunes it would say that the ipod can't be restored because of some unknown error 1429. So to go around this issue, go into disk mode connect the ipod to your computer, and it'll say that it needs to be restored. Once you click restore, immediately follow the same steps to put your ipod in disk mode to take it out of disk mode and your computer will be able to restore your ipod. I know the solution isn't the greatest because you lose your data but at least your ipod works again.
