Major Ipod (60GB VIDEO) problem

I've just bought my first Ipod and I'm really disappointed.I installed Itunes and the ipod software,updated it and got my songs.After like 30 minutes and I don't know how and why my pod freezed in LOCK mode,I can't do anything on it,I disconnected it from the pc,tried all solving issues techniques like gettin hold and unhold 4 times then after pressing MENU and middle button for 6~10secs.Also restored 2 times,reinstalled the software,pressed just hold and menu with the left point finger for 6~10secs and It's still locked.Right now i connected it on the pc and It's saying Do not disconnect.
I would really aprecciate feedback since I got this pod for like an hour.

Welcome
After the iPod has finished sync with iTunes and other applications(cal,address book,contacts) it can be disconnected by unmounting it.
To unmount click the eject icon next to the iPod in the iTunes source list. You can the disconnect.

CompUSA USB 2.o Card, iTunes 7.02, iPod with Video Problem

I just purchased a new 80 gig iPod with video and had to upgrade my MDD Duak 1 Ghz for USB 2.0, as transfer in USB 1 takes far too long. I purchased a card from CompUSA (SKU 304244) which adds two external ports only. When I attempt to transfer files into the iPod it seems to function at the faster speed, but will then freeze on a file, not allowing me to eject the iPod or sometimes to even force quit iTunes. I have tried this several times and there is no consistency regarding how many files have transferred or their size as to when the freeze will occur.
I originally tried this without adding a driver (using OS X 10.4.8), then I added the one from the included disc - same results. I then re-installed the 10.4.8 updater thinking this might have a more recent driver, but things are still the same.
I don't have any other USB 2 devices to use to test the card.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not all of the USB2 PCI cards out there are completely compatible with Mac as they claim to be.
I tried a two-port IOGear card that had that same problem.
Replace it with a 5 port (1 internal and 4 external) Belkin and it works just fine.
Someone has had a list somewhere of the ones that work best. I know that Belkin is one of the good brands to buy for loading a video iPod on a PowerMac. There are others, though.
You might find more on it in the video iPod board.

IPod 30GB Video Problem

Hey, guys. about 3 1/2 months ago, my sisters iPod 30GB Video, stopped working, and its dead, which when we get a charge, and we boot up, it hangs on a Apple Logo, and we cant figure out whats wrong, Apple can fix it, but it will cost us, about 179 Dollars. and she doesnt want to spend 179$ on an already purchased iPod, ugh, Apple is losing its magic touch.

If you do not want spending another $180 for the iPod, then you might as well buy a new Classic since the problem on your sister's video won't fix itself unless you send it to Apple after you do everything that says in the Troubleshooting page.

Ipod 60gb Video spontaneous reset

I got a very disturbing problem with my ipod video 60gb that when playing videos it soft-resets suddenly with no reason
it happens if connected to a Tv or ipod connector , i turned EQ off , with tunes purchased videos as well as YouTube and DVD Converted videos.
All started after the ugly update itunes 7.0 and ipod update 1.2 , eventhough with itunes 7.0.2 and firmware 1.2.1
I have an empty podcast directory that i know that caused problems at Nano version , but not sure on this.
Any idea ???

I have had the same problem with mine. I bought the 60gb Ipod Video from a friend of mine and I know it was working before cause I used it several times before purchasing it from him. After buying it I obviously installed itunes and ipod updater and updated itunes to latest version and also updated the ipod to the latest firmware.
Now my ipod whenever I start a video it plays for about 60 seconds and then Spontaneously Reboots. It does it every time without fail, I cannot get it to play longer than about a minute without it rebooting.
I know the files are fine virus free files as I used software I am very very familiar with to convert the dvd movies myself to MP4 compatible for Ipod video.
I don't have anything else on the ipod other than about a half dozen video's but I know it is not the file itself as I have wiped everything off it but 1 movie and still does the same thing, even if I wipe that movie off and put another different one on there. I have tried movies my friend had saved on his computer that had been on the ipod previously before I wiped it clean when purchasing it from him and they too did the same thing which is weird knowing that they worked before I updated the firmware and installed the itunes on my computer to transfer files to it.
I really hope someone can help me with this. Even if I need to pay someone to fix it I JUST NEED IT TO WORK. I would prefer to be able to have someone tell me how to fix it or if i have to have someone else fix then I would prefer to take somewhere locally but will mail somewhere if necessary.
PLEASE HELP ME.

Ipod 60gb video faulty headphone socket!

hi,
Ive had an ipod video for a few years now but recently the headphone socket has become faulty. when you put headphones in i just get sound in the left ear,if you press the headphones into the socet then i sometimes get stereo again.
ive tried 5 pairs of headphones aswell as pluging it into my stero, its definitely a problem with the ipod connection. Any ideas/sugestions, my waranty is finished.
thanks
Sam

There's not much you can do about that, unfortunately. It is a physical problem with the connection wearing out.
You can probably get a decent price on eBay (for you iPod) if you carefully describe it as an otherwise working iPod. Most iPods are broken for the hard drive becoming faulty, so the potential buyers can use it to fix their iPods. Conversely, if you buy an iPod that appears to be broken due to the hard drive, you can swap the bad hard drive with your iPod's drive and get a working iPod.

IPod 60gb Video sitting on 0 play time on tracks :(

hi guys, not sure if you can help with a issue I've been having for some time.
every now and then I've had a issue when you select a track to play or select shuffle it will load the track title and cd cover but sit on 0 track time not moving, nor playing.
You can navigate the menus fine select another track but the same thing applies.. according to the symbol its playing and not on pause.. pausing and unpausing doesn't help nor does seeking through the track,
at which point it will just sit at the time you have seeked to.
Press menu and select and do a reset and then all is ok,
until the next time.
The ipod has been carefully looked after, and safely cased barely touched my human hands
Thanks for any info.

Creative lab xdoc and iPod classic video problems

I purchased a creative lab xdoc which connects my ipod classic to my home theatre system, everything works except for the video portion, for some reason the ipod classic does not work with it,the question here is if Apple is working on a software upgrade so that we can use the video feature on the classic ipod,it is a shame that people try to be up to date with technology, but instead we get stuck with electronics that do work with later model, only with OLDER MODEL, i don't see the glory on this, do you?
Any help or guidance will certainly be appreciated

Major iPod touch crash problem.

So when running Apps like Safari, Contacts and other random apps, my new iPod touch 4G (fall 2011 version) will crash ALL THE TIME. I tried making a contact twice and it crashed when I hit done, and then I restarted it and it finally worked. Also what's really annoying is sometimes when I unlock it, it just freezes at the home screen for about five seconds and then it starts working again. If you're wondering, it's not jailbroken.

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Error 1418 after ipod 60GB vid skipped then froze competely.

My ipod 60GB video started to skip tracks, then froze completely. I tried the resetting and this helped to get normal screen back but minus all my music. Next I tried restoring but it came up with above error message. I seem now to have tried everything - I've updated newest version of itunes, I've also tried by downloading to version that came with CD. I have tried connecting iPod to a different USB port, I have re-register .dll files as described in article #304996, I have reinstall Windows USB drivers... The only thing I haven't been able to try is the suggesting of someones to connect to ipon and whilst new version of firmware is installing, 'safely removing hardware' in task bar and removing then reinstalling ipod. I'm struggling with this final suggestion as when I start up itunes, it doesn't come up with the message about a new version of firmware over 1.2' etc... and if it did, I can't see where the task bar is.
I am soooo missing my ipod - If anyone can help (itunes support couldn't - they just emailed me above suggestions) I would love them forever!!!! My computer is over 5 years old- could it me that?

This just happened to my 30GB Ipod. Any advice?
