MAJOR PROBLEM ABOUT VIDEOS IN IPOD NANO VIDEOS!

i neeeed help !
i added mpegs videos to iTunes Library but when i tried updating my iPod nano video , it wouldnt and it says it has to be converted so the videocan be used for the iPod and i did but when i played the videos on the iPod nano Video there was no sound .
HOW IN TTHE WORLD DID THAT HAPPEN?
anyone has answers for me pls. ?

There is no such thing as a nano video.
There is a fifth-generation, full sized iPod capable of video, but there is no nano capable of video playback.
What ipod do you have? The fact that you say it does play video indicates that it's a fifth-gen. If that's the case, what version firmware are you running? Go to SETTINGS > ABOUT to find out.
Cheers!

Major problem with Syncing my ipod nano 3rd generation! HELP PLZ!!!!!!

My computer had a virus and i had to reset windows, so all my music got wiped off the system.
i then reinstalled windows and itunes. the itunes library didn't import any music because there wasn't any music on my computer.
a few days ago, My ipod nano 3rd generation froze and i had to reset it, all my old music is on my ipod.
but when i try to sync new music from my library to my ipod - it doesn't work!!!!! It just keeps on saying that my ipod is synced with another library (not true) and that i can't sync it unless i wipe off all the music on my ipod.
PLEASE HELP!

Did everyone try the basic "5Rs" first? Mainly did you first try to reset the iPod and then if that didn't work, did you try to restore it?

Trouble Uploading Videos To iPod Nano via iTunes

I am having trouble uploading videos to my new iPod Nano (4th Gen? The new Nano-chromatic one). I have the latest iTunes version (iTunes 8), and have followed all the Help topics related to this problem. When I have converted the video (which i have downloaded to my computer from a DVD I have purchased of the TV Series "Black Books") to the iPod friendly format (following the advice from the iTunes Help section) I then try to 'click and drag' the converted movie file into my iPod under the Devices heading, a window pops up saying:
""BLACK_BOOKS Movie 01" was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod."
This confuses me as all the tech specs about the new iPod nanos say that they are able to play videos. And considering as how I have converted the file to one supposedly supported by the iPod I do not understand why it can't be copied to, and then played by my iPod.
I have followed all the Help sections as suggested and the problem is still NOT resolved.
Can anyone help?

I had the same problem.
First you need to download handbrake http://handbrake.fr/?article=download
Then run the file through it, and the output file will work with your chromatic.

Ipod nano video firmware

I think the current v1.0.2 firmware is in need of an update, as this has caused me no end of problems with my ipod nano video, causing it to shutdown on it's own and then require switch to disk mode, to restore. Trouble is, each time I get it back to v1.0.1 firmware, as soon as it's connected to iTunes, it recognises v1.0.2 is available and prompts me to install (whether I have auto update checked or not).
With v1.0.2 I also have a problem after I've added songs as the ipod just switches to a black screen with the apple logo and it can't be used. Not much use for a player bought as a present for someone.
So c'mon Apple, do the decent thing and provide a firmware update to fix this problem, as it seems I'm far from being the only one having problems going by the forums here.

Send your feedback to Apple via the appropriate link.
iPod Feedback.
Also, when discussing the nano 3rd gen, it's always best to use the correct forum.

IPod Nano Video & iChat A/V

This is a shot in the dark, but does anyone know if you can use an iPod Nano Video as a web cam for your iChat? I have not found any documentation on this but it would make sense if you could.

Doubt it very much.

Ipod video VS Ipod NANO

All of you nano owners listen up. THere is a competition holding up and seems like The Ipod video is winning. For it's perfect look, out standing features,and styling taste. It is competing against the very thin ipod nano, which features a complete Ipod. What is your opinion of these 2 very outstanding featured ipods?

I wouldn't call it a competition. I think which iPod you buy really depends on what you need it for. If you want to store massive amounts of pictures and music, You want the Video iPod. The video iPod has the added feature of playing videos, obviously. The problem is you can put on your hours of DVDs but you can only play them for 2.5 hours.
I personally like the nano because it is so small and compact. I am amazed that they could fit all this technology into such a small package. The only thing I am worried about is it breaking in my pocket. The video iPod is much bigger so it can store the hard drive in it.

Ipod Nano video and Ihome to go(26)/ unable to wake to music???

Have a new nano video and the Ihome 2 go model 26. Have it set up correctly and all functions work on the Ihome except wake to music, it buzzes. You can go to sleep with music but can not set it to wake to music. Contacted Ihome support and they say a fireware update is needed from Apple. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks.

Hi, Plugged in nano, checked software and it said no update needed. I just want to clarify iHome customer service said this is a current known problem with my iHome guess I will be emailing Apple to see if I can track down an answer. Thanks

Itunes will not recognise ipod nano video in itunes 9.0.2.25

Hi, running windows 7 64 bit and itunes 9.0.2.25. works well with old ipod and ancient shuffle but new ipod video generates 'can detect but not identify ipod'. On an XP machine the ipod works fine with the latest version of itunes.
I've tried the five steps, I've tried staring up with all services disabled and if I do that I can get the ipod detected in windows just fine. Soon as I start itunes services it disappears from windows and creates error as above.
Please any help welcome as otherwise I've bought my wife an engraved bit of metal and plastic for her birthday!

Ta Charlie!
Okay ... you don't have a p55 chipset, so that rules out one possible hardware/BIOS issue. You don't appear to have the nVidia ECHI USB chipset, so I believe that rules out the trouble with Windows 7 with 4-GB-or-more-RAM not working well with USB drives or devices. (There's a hotfix available from Microsoft for that, but it wouldn't be relevant in this case.)
So I'm thinking it might be a problem with the Apple ipod driver. (The older iPods won't be using it, which would explain the discrepancy between the old and new ipods when it comes to recognition.)
Plug the nano in. Now in your Start menu, right-click "Computer" and select "Manage". Click "Device Manager".
Expand "USB devices". Can you see an entry in there for the Apple iPod driver? If so, right click on that and select "Uninstall". Click OK. (The uninstall may take a while, leave it to its own devices for a while.)
After the driver uninstalls, unplug the nano. (Wait until it has finished saying OK to disconnect on the nano screen, if nanos do that nowadays ... I'm testing this procedure using an older Classic.)
Now plug the nano back in. This should reinstall the driver.
Do you get proper recognition now?

Video on ipod nano very blocky: can someone help me with this issue?

So the new ipod nano with 4GB is very nice, and video was a big reason I wanted it. Unfortunatelly, a few videos turn up very, very blocky and corrupted while they look smooth as ever on my computer screen in all it's MPEG4 glory. 2 minute video with file sizes as large as 10 MB end up looking like junk. But, even though I use the same file types (MPEG4) among all my videos, some videos work great while others don't.
Is this a problem with my iPod and I need a new one?

What type of videos are these? From DVDs, itunes, ect? Or lower quality stuff like Youtube? Are you using a program to convert video files so you can use them on your nano? If so what app? The nano and ipod classic seem to work best with the file format h.264 up to 640x480 res.

Can't see videos on ipod nano - why did it let me purchase if its not compatible? 7th generation

New 7th generation ipod nano. Purchased some videos on itunes, but can't play them on ipod - says it's uncompatible. First ipod - why did it let me purchase them if I can't play them on my device?

If the iPod is set to auto transfer, then the songs on your iPod would be removed if you were deleting them from the iTunes library after putting them on the iPod.
If you have the iPod set to manual transfer of songs, the songs already on your iPod should not be removed each time you add new ones (even if you were to delete them from iTunes afterwards.
The directions in the manual don't match the summary screen if you are using the latest iTunes version 7.0.1.
If there's no particular reason you want to transfer songs manually, then try the auto method again and post back if you encounter problems.

Ipod nano video and audio

I am thinking of getting my first apple product which would be a nano. The question I have is can use video from other sources other then from apple also can I use audio other the from apple?

You really should have posted this in the iPod Nano forum rather than the iPhone forum.
You can use video from other sources so long as they meet the specs for the type of videos the Nano will play. Specs are available at the Apple Online Store, information for how to convert videos is available at http://www.ilounge.com. If you are thinking about Limewire or similar pirate sites, please don't: their files are often flaky and many times contain viruses and malware. Please don't steal music or videos.
While at the website you can also check the music formats the iPod can play, which is extensive. One it can't play is WMA protected files.

IPod Nano Video Camera

My fiance just got the newest iPod Nano for his birthday. It has a video camera to record videos. He can't use the video camera because it's not on the main menu. How does he go about putting on the main menu so he can use it?

Hello musicrl87,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Head to *Settings - > Main Menu*. Then locate the video camera menu item and click the Select (Center) button to place a check mark on it. This should make the camera available from the main menu.

IPod nano video update

My iPod nano (5th gen) will not allow me to play videos, i know i need an update but where do i find this update?
All help is really appreciated.

No problem. Have you tried reconverting them in iTunes using iTunes built in converter? To do this, highlight each video and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version from the Advanced drop down menu. When they are finished, try resyncing the newly converted videos to see if that helps.
Other than that, I don't have to many other suggestions regarding this issue. Sorry.

IPod Nano Video with Windows Movie Maker

I found this page by Apple that explains how to use video from the 5G iPod Nano, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3837
But, I cannot find Windows Movie Maker V2.5, and V2.1 with Windows XP will not import the video from the iPod Nano. Anybody have any ideas on how to solve this? (Besides buying a Mac...)
Also, Windows Media Player 11 will not play the video created with the 5G iPod Nano either.

You can use the AVS Video Editing software to import MPEG-4 Movie files in the same way you'd import .avi files into Windows Movie Maker. Also, the AVS Video Editor will allow you to import iTunes .mp4 audio files and incorporate them into your soundtrack. If you still want to use Windows Movie Maker for your video editing you can also use video conversion software from the same company, i.e. AVS Video Converter 6, to convert from MPEG-4 into .avi or .wmv format. I've found converting to .wmv to be considerably slower than converting to .avi though. Here's a link to the AVS video software offerings below. BTW, the AVS Video Editor can be used for free, while there's a charge for the Converter.
* As always, exercise caution when using Shareware. So far my own experience has been good.
