More Ipod Video Problems

Greetings,
After reading these threads all night I guess that the ipod update 1.1 doesn't seem to user friendly. Several solutions involve rolling the update back to 1.0 using the disk that came with the ipod. In the event that the disk gets lost, where would one be able to get the 1.0 update? Any help would be appreciated.

The older iPod updates are available in the Downloads section. Just scroll through the list until you find it. It will be bundled with an older version of iTunes as well.

IPod video problems with audio

I recently got a 30 GB iPod video. I have tried to add videos to it, but sort of unsuccesfully. Of the four videos on there, 3 don't have audio.
The only video that has video and audio is a .mov, and yet the other .mov files that I tried to put on, wouldn't even convert.
The other files are .mpg, and they converted and transfered on perfectly, except there is no audio. The video looks great, but you can't hear anything.
Has anyone else had these problems? Any advice/help is appreciated!

30GB 5G iPod Video Problems.

Hey, all.
I just got a new fifth generation 30GB iPod Video and am having trouble getting the video on it.
I've got all my songs on it, but iTunes won't seem to let me add videos into the library. I followed the instructions in the manual at apple.com, but i've had no luck.
iTunes doesn't give an error when I try to import a video file, it simply doesn't import it. No messages or anything.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I need to do to get videos on my iPod? Thanks.

Well first...
Pacience is all you need
Believe me...
I had MANY MANY MANY ipod problems
and it seems everytime I take time
to solve them...
it seems to always get back to normal
I'm not an Apple worker or anything
BUT you're lucky that Apple community has an enormous
way to help you
You won't find that anywhere else, specially in a
Creative Zen
okay then...
maybe you'd want to use Utility Disc if you have access to an iMac
if not try to use the Diagnostic Mode
built into the iPod Video
- first reset your iPod (menu and center hold)
- once you see the Apple logo, hold in menu and previous/rewind button together until you hear a beep and
a white screen that looks like an old computer will display
- you are now in diagnostic mode
- don't use auto test if it asks you
- select IO
- then, select HardDrive
- then, select the HDSpecs
- once you're done with the HDspecs
select the HDSMARTData
if problem persists rest your iPod for half a day
then try the 5 R's
if problem still persists
try calling Apple Support
basic help is for free for at least
1 year you bought your iPod

IPOD VIDEO PROBLEMS

I have a 30gb ipod video. When I plug it in my computer it plays. When I use my earphones or my brand new monster fm transmitter it doesn't play at all. What can be the problem and how can I fix it?

Headphone jack is broken, volume is turned all the way down on the iPod, the Classic has a Mute feature maybe, ????

Need help with ipod video, problems with blinking screen, wont charge

Hello,
I'm a new owner of an ipod video, and I've had it for not even two weeks and haven't used it but 3 or 4 times, and I went to turn it on and nothing happened, so I figured the battery died. Then I hooked it up to the usb and computer (windows xp OS) and nothing except a fast blinking white screen and a low noise, not music though. It wont charge, and I even reinstalled everything and used all the tips online- any words of advice except to take it to an apple store?

Apple decided to hide the user library folder with OS10.7. You can get to it by using the menu.
Quit Illustrator.
Method one....
In the Finder choose Go > Go To Folder and type "~/Library" (no quotes) and hit OK.
Your Library folder will open.
Then navigate to ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings
Move that Settings folder to your desktop.
Restart Illustrator and try exporting again.
If it works as expected, you can trash teh Settings folder on your desktop.
Since you're removing preferences, items like Scratch Disk settings will need to be reconfigured in Illustrator if you've altered them from the default settings.
Second method.....
Hold Command-Option-Shift when you launch Illustrator.
Preferences will be removed.
You won't get any sort of dialog or window confirming this, it just happens.
Reason for two methods.
Method one allows you to put the settings folder back if yoru problem is not cured by removing it. It also allows you to move items back to the new Settings folder that is created (like Workspaces).

IPod Video problem with songs not playing

I received a 30GB iPod video for christmas today and accidently made a mistake while configuring it. Since I had an old iPod I figured that i wouldn't have to insert the enclosed CD and therefore I connected my iPod to my computer. The iPod icon never came up on my desktop so, left with no other choice i had to unplug it with the dreaded "do not disconnect" on the screen. Now, I can put songs on the iPod but it won't play them. The time bar at the bottom of the iPod screen simply sits at :00 as long as i leave the iPod on. HELP!!

Convert Selection For iPod--Video Problems

I've got video in iTunes, that's not the problem. I've checked, iTunes and QuickTime are both up-to-date. When I try and sync the videos to my 80gig iPod, it tells me that they can not be synced because they are not the right format. They're all .mp4 format and Apple lists that as compatible for an iPod. When I right click on the video and click on 'Convert Selection for iPod', it converts it, but I only get the audio with a blank white screen and no video. I've followed the Apple tutorial and they're video clip works when I convert it. I went to the DivX website and downloaded the newest version of it and installed everything but the DivX player. It still won't work. What should I do?

I think I was able to resolve this myself after some trial and error. It looks like it is all in the name of the file. I've gotten some files to transfer after going into the Get Info section and updating the name (usually shorten the name or take out non-letter/number/# characters and then get the filename on disk to match.

60GB ipod video problems

Hi All,
I just boughts my 60gb ipod this weekend. yay! I seem to have the 60gb ipod 1.1 update video hanging/freezing, then comes back with no audio after several seconds problem that everyone is posting all over the web about. It is happening on most any large video file I put on it.
The fix seems to be to backdate the ipod software version to 1.0, but I can't find it on my software CD. Does anyone know where to get it from, or another solution?

I have not confirmed if that download link works (from that message). If it does, you can follow the rest of those instructions or simply restore the iPod using that updater...
Restore the iPod
And then reload all the songs.

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
What are you using to create the video? You might want to look at QuickTime - Creating Video for iPod, Exporting iMovie HD to iPod, and Syncing Videos to Your iPod.

Try VideoraiPod. You can Google it. That worked for me.

ATTENTION! POSSIBLE FIX FOR iPod VIDEO PROBLEMS

For all of you out there who may be experiencing INSANE problems with your new iPod, this may help. We had a ton of issues with a brand new 60g iPod tonight, Christmas present blah blah blah same as everyone that has questions here. Anyhow, after hours and much cursing and my eyelid twitch going mad, we got the dang thing to work! I am drawing the assumption that this thing was shipped screwed up and a restore MUST be done in order for it to work. (All the freezey, sad faced, file with an exclamation point, stuck screens, everything, we went through ALL of that!!!) BUT we had to use the old October version of the iPod updater that comes on the CD NOT the newest one available for DL from November. The November version gave us disk write errors and a resotre could not be done. Also, the iPod went into "disc mode" before we were able to restore it and apparently you can do this yourself (ours did automatically, don't ask me how) There was a link somewhere in this mess about it, you'll have to search on it I suppose. Anyhow, it really was f-ed up right out of the box, it would eject itself while in the middle of song transfers and then there would be nothing on the iPod, then it froze, then... well, it's been hours so I'll spare you the rest. It's working splendid now, so try a restore with the OLD version of iPod updater and good luck to you all. Merry Christmas.

I hear ya loud and clear, an hour after I posted ours did the same thing again.... Does it comfort you to know you're not the only one? Oh, and don't think it's your computer, we have two and it does the same bs on both. :0(

if you have sound then the video stops.. then resumes without sound.. apples last update is the culprit.. the version 1.1 updater screws with the syncing .. heres the fix!
As posted by imdaShiy/ i modified it....
This is the way to downgrade the iPod firmware and reinstall version 1.0 without formatting or losing the music/files on your iPod. (I believe this DOES NOT work for Mac users, sorry)
1. A)Download iPodWizard here:
sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153441
(download the release, top link of the two)
B) Download the old updater here:
http://appldnld.m7z.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/ww/win/061-2225.20051128.PDW nw/iPodSetup.exe
2. Extract the files, and launch the program.
3. Put in your Original CD,
On The iPodWizard, Click Open Updater..
point to the CD, Program Files/ iPod/ updater exe
4. Click Load on the iPodWizard
5. Click on DownGrade Firmware
6. Exit the Wizard
7. Open the iPodupdater directly from CD/ Program Files/ iPod/ Updater.exe
it will said ur iPod is OutDated 1.1
Click Update... instead of Restore....
and u will be back to 1.0
yaa...... backlight is on..
my video is working
should work like a charm! my headaches went away after this fix.. heh heh

IPod Video/Audio problems

i have a 60gb video ipod and have converted seinfeld episodes off dvds. i used videora ipod converter to convert the video to H264 256kbps video and 96kbps audio. When i play any episode the video and audio will work for about 30 seconds, then it pauses fills the cache and the video starts playing again but without audio. if i fastforward or rewind the video and audio pick up again for 30 seconds until the process repeats. how do i fix this ANNOYING problem? thanks
Windows XP Pro

I have just encountered the very same problem. I have a 60Gb iPod video and have spent days converting a lot of my videos (mostly Japanese Anime) to iPod. They all worked perfectly on last week. However, last night I started watching an episode and after about 30 seconds the video freezes. It starts again about 5 seconds later, but with no sound. If I rewind or fast forward a bit, the sound comes back, but it freezes again shortly after. I started to think "what have I done to the iPod since last week?". It was then that I remembered updating the firmware to 1.1. I put 2 and 2 together and thought "maybe other folk are having this problem too", so I decided to check the support page here.
I am far from happy about re-encoding over 250 episodes of Anime, so ideally, I want the ability to re-install 1.0 firmware on the iPod. Surely this must be possible! If anyone can provide a link to the 1.0 Updater or to more information on this subject... that would be great, cos right now, my iPod is pretty much... useless!
Thanks

IPod Video Known Problems?

Hi all,
I've had a series of issues with my iPod Photo that have caused me to return it in favour of an iPod video. However, I am a little disenchanted with iPod and want to be fully informed before swapping products.
What are COMMON PROBLEMS with the iPod video, and what should I be aware of?
Also, what kind of videos does it play?
Windows XP

Thanks! I know that by posting here, the replies will be biased, but that's okay. I really do want to hear the horror stories, because I've had one with my current iPod.
Some 60GB iPods with video have video playback
problems. This should be resolved by a software
update in the future.
Could you elaborate on this? It sort of raises red flags in my mind.
I saw the stats on the video playback but appreciate that you have posted them, although perhaps I should have been more clear in my question.
What about ripped/downloaded videos? (Or does it not matter, so long as they are in the correct format?)
