  • IPod (with video) freezes Windows XP - POSSIBLE SOLUTION

    Hi everyone,
    I bought a 5g 30gig iPod with video a few days ago, and immediately ran into the "iPod freezes Windows when connected via USB 2.0" problem. I read through every possible post on this website, on iLounge, on Microsoft's forums, etc. There seems to be quite a substantial number of people running into this problem, because I've been seeing posts about this all over the place.
    My specific problem was that whenever I plugged in my iPod, the iPod would display "do not disconnect" and iTunes would begin to recognize it - sometimes it would reach the point where it would begin to update - and then the computer would completely freeze. The iPod would "disconnect" and be completely usable, but the computer would not respond to anything what-so-ever. I had to perform a hard restart to get the computer usable again. No error messages, no "ctrl-alt-del" saves, nothing. It would also lock in the same exact way if I just plugged the iPod in without starting iTunes (iTunes wouldn't automatically start, computer would just lock up after a few moments).
    Anyway, my problem was solved through a procedure I saw in a post somewhere (I'm pretty sure it was on these forums, actually). Basically, it seems as though there is some sort of conflict between iTunes, Quicktime, and Symantec's anti-virus.
    The process is pretty simple - completely turn off whatever version of Symantec you're using (Norton AntiVirus, Firewall, whatever... I'm running Symantec Corporate AntiVirus 10). Then, uninstall Quicktime and iTunes (it might not be absolutely necessary to completely uninstall iTunes - I uninstalled Quicktime and then "repaired" the iTunes installation).
    This seemed to resolve the situation entirely - I've updated my iPod three times now, and charged it, with no problems. Hopefully this continue to work... !
    Incidentally, I think it's disgusting that this seems to be such a prevalent problem, yet Apple so far refuses to acknowlege its existence, much less provide a solution. As a long-time Windows/Microsoft user (notice I didn't say 'fan'), I expected much more from Apple.
    Anyway, good luck!

    Hi!
    I have the same problem, though using iPod Touch.
    My PC crashes just after charging sound on th iPod sounds.
    I can be loggen on or not.
    I have tried the 5R's two times
    I have removed SP3, didn't help.
    I have updated to iTunes 8.0.1: Didn't help.
    But I have an portable PC (job PC) where it is working fine, both PC's using XP Pro, english version.
    So, just now, I am very dissapointed bu the Apple products (and it took me 20 years of Software Engineering before i bought something from Apple ..... )
    So the stress test will be: Will Apple do anything with this ?

  • ITunes keeps saying that my 60GB iPod with Video is corrupted when it's not

    I have an 60GB iPod with Video that iTunes keeps saying is corrupted when I connect it to my MacBook Pro. Although it seems to only happen after using it for more than a short amount of time before syncing it. I just watched a 5 minute video after I ejected my iPod and when I synced it after that, iTunes did not say it was corrupted. Although when I used it for over 3 hours earlier today and synced it, iTunes said it was corrupted. When iTunes says it is corrupted, I eject the iPod and resync it, and it's always fine the second time. This issue has been ongoing for a month or two now and it's starting to get annoying. I bought the iPod last June.

    it can be some corrupted files or bad sectors on the HD of your iPod, see doing the following helps
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

  • 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.

  • Which cable should I have for my ipod with video

    Hi I have ipod with video and bought the ipod fw power adapter gen, so I could charge my ipod away from my computer. I bought the wrong cable and sent it back and have received the wrong cable again. Can anyone help me and tell me which cable I should have, the cables I previously bought from apple are thin firewire cable 6-6 pin o.5m gen, and then ipod dock connector to usb 2.0.

    Hi the firewire cable you mention is the one that i bought originally and it does not work with ipod video, the conection to my ipod with this cable is fine but the conection to the other end of the cable does not fit the charger, I checked the link that you both mention and it actually says that it is not compatable. The charger I bought says it works with ipod video thats why I am so confused to know what cable to buy and have made to mistakes already. If you can help me Id be delighted because its driving me nuts.

  • Transfer music from iPod mini to iPod with video

    I'm going to be spending a few nights at my friend's house and they plan on giving me their iPod with video. I currently have the iPod mini and I was just wondering if there's a way (in Windows XP) if I can get my music and playlists from my iPod mini to my new iPod with video at my friend's house so I don't have to wait until i can go home and connect it to my PC.

    Actually Problem solved!
    if anyone wants to know the steps here they are
    *make sure your iPod is enabled for hard disk use*
    -on your PC, export the library and any playlists to a flash drive or CD (in this case, I'm using a flash drive)
    -create a new user account in Windows
    -open and setup iTunes
    -connect the iPod that has the music you want
    -go to FILE then IMPORT, and select all your playlist text files along with your library xml file and import
    -when done, connect your NEW iPod and format it
    -then sync the music and there you go! all your songs on a new iPod when you don't have access to your PC!

  • Why iPod (with video 60G) is unrecognized?

  • ... iPod with video makes noises...

    OK... so just recently my iPod with video (30 gig) started to make odd sounds... They sound like mechanical type sounds...
    It did this when I first turned it on and started a song... (also when I restarted it)
    I haven't dropped my iPod recently or do anything that might have messed up anything inside... D:
    Oh... By the way... I got my iPod abott a year ago... During Christmas last year...
    I honestly have no idea if its still under any kind of warranty, so I'm not sure what to do about this...
    I need advice or something...
    My iPod is my baby and I don't know what to do...
    PC! Windows XP Pro

    Umm....I hear that from my iPod all the time, but if I were to listen carefully. It's not loud or noticeable when you're doing things, but if you were real quiet, like at night when I use to to fall asleep to, I can hear the humming and such, much like a TV would when it's on. I really can't tell or don't know if what you're hearing is abnormal or just regular hard drive/screen noises. All hard drives will make some kind of noise (it's the read/write heads moving rapidly over the platters that makes the crackle sounds or whatever).

  • Recording on the iPOD with video

    I am still not sure how to record on my new iPOD with video. I would appreciate your suggestions.

    According to iLounge, XtremeMac and Belkin have developed devices that allow you to run a microphone from the iPod's dock connector. From the initial information it sounds like you will be able to connect any microphone with a 3/4" plug and record using the iPod voice recording functionality. The products should be ready for sale in the next few months.
    Although this is a great addition to the iPod, I still wish that Apple hadn't limited the sample rate to 44.1KHz...

  • I just updated my iPod with update version

    I just updated my iPod with update version 1.1 Is it ok if I delete version 1.0 from my computer since im not going to be using it anymore?

    I downloaded the new Update just recently and have had nothing but problems since.
    In the first 5 minutes after installation, my iPod (5th 30GB) Froze on the "Do not disconnect" screen and was unable to do anything to it, and my PC wouldnt recognise it as a device. I left it to Run out of batteries and that fixed it for a while.
    Today as i was playing my music through "shuffle songs" it lagged on one song, and wouldnt respond so i reset it, causing the sad ipod icon to show. Now i have been charging my iPod through my PC, unrecognized in iTunes and switching between two screens, the sad face, and the "Please wait, Very low battery". I can reset it, but unfortunately this achieves nothing. Is there anything i can do?

  • Exported movie cannot play on iPod with video

    I exported my slide show to 320x240 .mov file (containing a fairplay AAC track from iTunes). I then dragged it into iTunes and it loads successfully onto my iPod with video. The movie shows up in iPod's menu but when I go to play it, I get a black screen for about 10 sec. (length of movie= 5min38sec) and movie ends.
    This file plays fine in iTunes6.0.1 and QT7.0.3. I try to export the movie from QT to iPod format but Export is disabled with that movie probably due to fairplay limitations.

    Hi anthony,
    You will probably get better answers in the iPod Video discussions, but here are two Apple links to help you out.

  • IPhone and iPod with video docking station.

    I just got an iPhone and was happy to see that it fit in my iPod with video docking station. But when I plug it in I get a message that says that this docking station was not meant to be used with the iPhone, and then it just syncs up and works fine with iTunes anyway.
    So what's with the warning? Can the phone be damaged by the docking station? Should I be worried? And if there is nothing to worry about, why splash the warning?
    Thanks, I look forward to your insight.

    There are very few if any docks that are compatible with all functions of all ipods as well as the iphone 3G. Even Apple can scarcely manufacture one (although with a series of adaptors and optional cables they sell a "universal dock"). One of the biggest issues is the charging, as the 3G only charges via the 5 volt USB standard. I don't think there is a risk of damage, but an incoming call could generate some noise artifacts in your sound system. Have you been able to output video from your phone with that dock, and does it charge? BTW which dock are you using?

  • My ipod 5th gen. 30 gig wont play video on to tv!! need help, please!

    Hi, I have searched and have found no answer. My ipod wont play on the tv. I don't have a offical Apple cable that plugs into the headphone jack to the tv. But I have a cable that I have found laying around my house that is exactly the same. It has a headphone connecter on one saide, and three other plugs on the other (yellow, white, red).
    I know if I'm not using a Apple cable that I have to rerange the cables, red to yellow, white to red, yellow to white. I've tried other combinations with NO success.
    I have the ipod set to TV on..
    And the only thing that happens is that white and grey lines start dancing around on the tv..
    and SOMETHIMES theres is some auido, but with only one speaker..
    I have tired two tv's. A hdtv and a flat screen tv.

    Stephanie,
    The reason a standard A/V cable won't work with the iPod if you match the colors is because the A/V cable standard was developed by Video Camera manufactures and they arbitrarily picked the connections on the 3-contact 1/8" plug to go to their colors.
    When Apple decided to put a three contact 1/8" jack on the iPod and use one contact for Video output, they couldn't match the same colors because the configuration picked by the video folks didn't match the two audio channels to the same ones used by standard headphones. So Apple had to make their own A/V cables to get the colors to match up correctly.
    If they hadn't made their own A/V cables (or made you use a standard cable with the colors mixed up) and made the iPod match the A/V standard then it would have required custom wired headphones for the iPod. Clearly you can see where the outrage would be if Apple seemingly MADE people buy their custom headphones and didn't let you use any headphones you wanted, right?

  • Ipod with video use firewire ?

    I have just got an Ipod with with video and wondered if I could use firewire instead. My old Imac G4 only has usb 1.0 and is too slow and the ipod doesn't seem to update or just makes Itunes hang while copying a song across. Any answers would be helpful.Thanks Peter.
