My ipod video!! HELP

I accidentally spilled juice over the front of my ipod
it still plays music and all
but it wont turn off manually
and it keeps saying Firewire not connected.
Does anybody know what this means or how i can fix it??

If the juice you spilled had sugar in it, you really need to disassemble your iPod and clean it to get all of it out of your iPod. You can get instructions on how to open it at http://www.ifixit.com.
After thoroughly wiping it dry (and make sure to clean all the contacts on the dock connector) reassemble it, connect it to a charger and let it charge for at least 30 minutes. While it is connected to power, Reset it. You may have to do this several times. If it comes to life, connect it to your computer and Restore it then fully charge it. If it works, you got lucky.
If you don't feel comfortable with doing it yourself, there are 3rd party sites that work on iPods. For $9 http://www.iresq.com will diagnose your iPod and give you a price for how much it will cost to fix it. http://www.ipodmods.com is a similar location, you can Google for more.
You can send it to Apple by going here: http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/ The prices for service are here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304869#faq14
If you take it to the Apple Store they will tell you it is broken and you can trade it in for 10% off the cost of a new one.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Please HELP, "iTunes has stopped working" error after connecting iPod video

People please help me out! I have a Razer Blade gaming laptop with Windows 8 64bit.
I have an iPhone 5, iPad 2 and an iPod video (80GB). I had some weeks from not connecting the iPod to my computer, but this morning that I did so I can upload some new music to it, iTunes just crash, I get the "iTunes has stopped working" error message when I connect the iPod video. I do not have this problem with either the iPhone 5 or the iPad 2, when I connect these, iTunes works fine, once I connect the iPod, then all goes down
Procedures that I already tried and that were unsuccessful to solve the problem:
Uninstall Quicktime
Uninstall iTunes and reinstall
Reset the iPod (several times)
Delete TEMP files on computer
Restart the computer (several times)
Use a different cable and a different USB port
The iPod is working fine, if I plug it to my car stereo or if I use it with headphones it works great, no problems nor errors. My computer also identify the iPod as a hard disk, no error messages from Windows, it is just the freakin' iTunes that freezes everytime that I plug the iPod
PLEASE HELP ME OUT, I've searched forums on this particular issue but with no luck.
Thanks very much!

It is only when I attempt to add a song to my iPod once plugged in that I receive the error "Itunes has stopped working" and forces me to exit the program, without the song being successfully transferred.
Do you have the "Convert to 128 kbps AAC" preference enabled for syncing to the iPod, laur?
If so, it's quite plausible that you've got the iTunes 10.1.0.54 bug and we need to get you updated to 10.0.1.56 as per the following document:
[iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3591]

Mine is really close to your set up. Difference my desktop has two drive, dvd-rom and my burn drive. My laptop only has single drive. Here is my take on things.
My desktop computer burns from iTunes perfect in version 4.7.0.42 and 5.0.1.4. When I go to 6.x I can't do anything. Go to oldapps.com if you want an older version.
I CAN BURN on my laptop with new version. It is a toshiba sat M45-S331 with a matshita dvd-ram drive.
My PC is a dell with a teac dvd+rw dv-w58e, rev D.0n
Did find something sad and while I don't know much about computer programming here is my take. I think it has nothing to do with the drive, my drive works perfect and as evidence being able to burn in older generation iTunes.
I think in the new version, at least as far as I can tell, my bus address in my laptop for my cd drive is [0,0] but on my desktop the bus address is [1,0] for my burn drive.
I think some programmer at Apple took out ability to recognize two seperate bus addresses or to recognize address [1,0]
Opinions? I'm going to research how to change bus address on my drives and if can figure out will get back here. Or if someone else can, please replay to me by e-mail. You can send it to the following removing upper case letters:

IPod Video anomaly - please help if you can

Hey, anyone else have this problem? -
I have a 30GB iPod video, brand new. During the most recent/its first software update, iTunes froze. I gave it a cautious 10 minutes to see if it would work out, but I eventually had to close iTunes in the task manager. I did a WinXP 'safe disconnect' for the iPod, which I figured was my best option. Anyway, the screen was frozen on the 'Do Not Disconnect' screen - a problem which, after trolling the boards, a lot of people have when disconnecting.
So I did a soft reset, then tried again. Gave it even more time, and it finished updating -- that status bar likes to freeze for a long time, at least on my computer.
My problem is this: since then, the iPod display freezes constantly when it's disconnected and I'm using the navigation - usually within 30 seconds of me turning it on. The backlight will stick on, the screen will get slightly skewed, and a couple small, patch-like color bars pop up around the screen. It still clicks like I'm navigating, but the screen's frozen. The only way to get it back is a soft reset, but it will often repeat the performance after it's done that.
Freezing seemed to coincide with the backlight timer, so I changed that setting to 10 seconds, and it froze after 2 seconds of inactivity anyway.
This iPod is only a month old, it's never been dropped or gotten wet or anything. And aside from that iTunes freeze, I've never pulled the plug on it. I've tried everything on Apple's Support page, but it hasn't helped.
This happens 4 out of 5 times I navigate on the iPod. Is something fried/do I need to send it in? Or is there something I haven't tried?
Thanks to anyone who reads, double to anyone who replies. Cheers

Hey, thanks for the reply. I've restored twice already and it hasn't helped... but I don't have those four options when I select 'Restore.'
However, noticing that difference prompted me to (I can't believe I didn't double-check this earlier) check my version, and I'm still running 7.0.0.70. I can't imagine how that could be causing the problem, but i'm going to install the newest version and then do another restore. I'll post the results.
Thanks for the advice though

30 GIG Video iPod, Video Options not available - Please help!

Hi.
I have a 30 GIG iPod Video 5th gen, with the latest iPod updater software installer on it.
But when I look at the iPod preferences, when it's plugged in via USB, all Video options (manual vs automatic etc) are all greyed out and not available for selection.
And I can't drag any videos onto the iPod (even with the right video format!).
It's like the iPod itself doesn't recognised that it is an Video one, like it has a complex and can only deal with music and photos.
Can anyone help or offer advice?
Anyone had a similar problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help guys.
Even with the iPod set to manual, I couldn't drag iPod format videos directly onto it.
Did a factory restart, and it has fixed the problem.
And just a note; the options in the video tab will always be greyed out, when the iPod is set to manually update songs.
cheers!
