New 80GB Video Ipod having all sorts of problems!!!

I just got the 80GB for christmas and I have had nothing but problems. I actually haven't gotten it to play continuously without freezing:
-It freezes often and I have to let the battery completely die and recharge it in order for it to respond.
-I fully charge the battery and then when I turn it on it says that the battery is really low.
-Sometimes my computer recognizes it and sometimes it doesn't?
Last night i charged it for over four hours. When I went to turn it on today, it turned on and then immediately froze on the main menu. I managed to reset it but the battery is at only 50% after fully charging it last night and not using it?
Did I get a lemon or is everyone else having these problems? Having a brand new ipod freeze on an 8 hour plane flight is a real drag.
Thanks,
Dezmond

As far as freezing up....have you tried restoring your iPod to resolve this issue? Where is your music from.....CD? iTunes Music Store?
Do note that if your computer is set to go to to sleep then it will not pass a charge to your iPod. Although you think it is charging all night long, really it's not. So check System Preferences > Energy Saver for your sleep settings and turn sleep off.
A good tip about charging. When you are done charging and disconnect the iPod from the power source you should reset it..Hold the Menu+Select button for about 5-10 seconds and it will restart. Upon restart the iPod goes thru certain checks with one of those being to update the battery icon. Sometimes you just aren't really seeing the proper battery status. So just reset it next time and see what it shows then.

  • Having all sorts of problems

    I have a Nokia 6111 and am encountering all kinds of problems trying to hook it up to my PC.
    My partner has a 6230 and already has PCSuite 6.1 loaded on the PC. He has a DKU-2 cable.
    I have CA-53 cable and first problem appears to be the PC not allowing me to load drivers for it. I just get the error message "Previous installation failed to uninstall" half way through the set up process, then I am booted out.
    New phone came with PC Suite 6.6. This also will not load due to unsuccessful uninstallation of previous version. I have tried to uninstall via Control Panel but it won't have it. It just won't come off.
    Questions:
    1. How can I get PC Suite off my PC to get new version on? 2. Do you think old version is corrupt?
    3. Is it actually a bit stupid to be attempting to connect 2 different phones to the software (not at the same time!)
    I hope you can help - I am tearing my hair out!
    Thanks

    Hi Vikki!
    I'm glad you're able to move things along yourself and therefore answer your own questions! Shows that you're putting in the effort! :-)
    With regards to uninstalling the DKU-2 drivers, I've detailed how you can do this in another post although as the post says, be very careful when following the instructions... link is as follows:
    http://discussions.nokia.co.uk/discussions/board/m​essage?board.id=pcsuite&message.id=1863
    Once you've got the old DKU-2 drivers removed, try reinstalling PC Suite 6.7 and it should work ok.
    Just to clarify an earlier point as well, the PC Suite should connect ok to multiple phones... even at the same time!!
    Hope this helps.

  • My Brother's iPod Nano Is Having All Sorts Of Problems. HELP!!

    Hi. I'm new here and I recently handed down my 1st Generation iPod Nano to my brother and I bought a new one.
    Now he is having issues with it that I never ran into when I owned it. He can't drag and drop the songs onto the iPod, it randomly disconnects when he has it plugged in, and then it randomly gets recognized by the computer again and starts auto-updating all the time.
    It also says something about the proper software to update iTunes is missing, and that iTunes needs to be re-installed.
    We've tried reinstalling, and we still run into the same problems as previously mentioned.
    I'm wondering if it has something to do partially with the sync options and software versions, and also with my brother's PC being pretty broken down.
    Help PLEASE.

    On my computer it doesn't randomly disconnect like it does on his, but it still wouldn't let me drag and drop AAC files onto my iPod towards the end of me using it, and it used to let me easily drag and drop.

  • Error message when connecting 80GB Video iPod

    I'm getting this error message when trying to connect my 80GB Video iPod:
    "The iPod (name) cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)."
    Never seen this one before.
    I haven't synced this iPod for a few weeks but it always behaved fine before, taking a few seconds to appear in iTunes (v7.5) then syncing perfectly when I hit the Sync button (I have it set to manually sync only because sometimes I want to change the contents or only sync music).
    Before syncing on this occasion, I did an iPod software update via iTunes - iTunes said there was a newer version (1.2.3). After the update, I disconnected the iPod for a few minutes (somehting I wanted to check content before syncing), then reconnected it. At first iPod took about a minute to show up in iTunes - way too long. I Reset the iPod and tried again but still LONG delay to appear in iTunes (again about 1 minute). I did another Reset - same result. Then I did a complete Restore, after which syncing to restore the contents gave problems - it refused to finish the sync. I had to disconnect and start again, syncing the data one section per sync session - Contacts, music, videos, iCal - which seemed to work fine. Then I disconnected, waited a few minutes then reconnected the iPod to check. It wouldn't connect at all. Did a Reset, tried o connect again and it did connect but then proceeded to resync all my contacts taking almost 30 minutes (way too long) to do so (I had made NO changes in Address Book since that data was put in there). I tried to reconnect again but then got the error message (above). Did another total Restore and the same shenannigans happened. Now, I have an iPod with data on it and works fine, but iTunes won't recognise it - just gives this error message every time.
    By the way, my 8GB Nano (software 1.1.3) seems to sync fine on the same system, same computer.
    Could this be the 1.2.3 iPod software giving issues? I appreciate any help because I also use this iPod for recording for my work, which getting a little urgent now.
    Many thanks.

    Thanks Zevoneer, but no real success. I did all that but when I tried to sync after it, it got partially through the sync (about 10% I'd guess) and presented an error message saying that the disk couldn't be read form or written to (sorry but I forgot the error number). I disconnected the iPod, waited a few minutes then reconnected and again got the message but then the ipod continued to finish the sync, even though almost all of the music and 2 of my 4 videos didn't go over to the iPod. I'm now thinking that this just isn't satisfactory reliability from the device since I use it a lot in my work and rely on it. But this new iPod is only a few months old, had very little use and only made about 12 recordings - In comparison, I've used the Nano heaps but now want to move over to the bigger one, basically for more capacity and bigger screen for video. I wonder if it's a hard drive failure in this iPod?

  • 80GB Video iPod - Shuffling playlist?

    I have 2 iPods,
    8GB nano shuffles tracks inside a playlist by default.
    I'm still having trouble figuring out how to shuffle "playlist" on 80GB video iPod.
    Please help.
    <edited by host>

    Hello.
    I have found a temporary work around the iPod playlists not recognizing videos. I too think this a really big problem. I just did not realize just how bit it was!
    I use mine to pass thew time whil I workout at the Gym.
    This is my temeporary soulution util apple fixes the problem.
    I used a video editing software Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 because I am just descovering QuickTime.
    I have copied my desired videos into the Adobe program.
    I then export the one video made up of many videos using MPEG4.
    I Then use the quick Time Player Pro to convert the MPEG4 video to iPod.
    I then Sync my iPod to my computer.
    I create the lenght of the video time I desire for my workout which is between 45 minutes to one hour.
    I have created various videos.
    This is in no way as good as the playlist but it is certainly much better than the present sintuation.
    PS: I hope Apple fixes this problem soon!
    If anyone needs some help with this you can email me at [email protected]
    Thank you.

  • New 30g video iPod not fully accessible.

    Hi all,
    I looked around but couldn't find any replies specific enough for my sitch.
    I just got a brand new 30g video iPod last week. I tried to load it up this weekend using my 2002, 1ghz, 17" flat panel iMac (usb 1.0/firewire).
    I'm able to load playlists/music on my iPod (10.75 gigs so far) but I can't load videos. When I try, I get a message saying , more or less, that "the video can't be loaded on this iPod". Also, in iTunes, I only get tabs in the iPod section for:
    Summary
    Music
    Podcasts
    Contacts
    And, under summary it reads: n/a for Software Version and n/a for Serial Number. And it says - Format: Windows. Since it was brand new out of the box, I figured it would have configured itself to Mac automatically?????? And "Software Update" and "Restore" are grayed out and not useable.
    I thought all this might have something to do with using a usb 1.0 port on my iMac but I used a PC laptop with usb 2.0 and iTunes to check the iPod with and got these results:
    I got more tab choices for the iPod such as: Movies, Photos, etc. and it showed the Software Version and Serial Number of the iPod but when I tried loading a video, I still got the same message saying that the video couldn't be loaded on this iPod.....huh????
    Anybody know what's going on. I want to use the iPod to it's full capability and I want to use it mainly with my iMac because that is where I have all of my music and movies/videos (total of about 19 gigs worth of music and video). I'd rather not have to transfer all that to the PC.
    Do I need to use Disk Utility to erase the iPod? I just don't want to mess it up.
    Thankxx

    Hi, just to be clearer guy's:
    1. I'm not trying to upload movies from DVD's just digitized, downloaded videos.
    2. I am only using iTunes to manipulate the iPod, thought that was clear.. :/
    3. I tried the different video formats just to see if any at all would load.
    I'll try to restore on the PC laptop. I'm still confused as to why the box says "PC/Mac" but upon connecting it to my iMac right out of the box, it was Windows formatted???
    Oh well, let me give the PC restore a try. I'll let you all know.

  • New 80GB Video Problems-TV Shows

    My wife got me an 80GB Video Ipod for Christmas. I bought the entire season of the Office from Itunes. After I watch a specific episode, it seems to not be on the TV Show menu on my Ipod anymore. If I sync up to Itunes, it doesn't get replaced on my Ipod.
    Any idea why my shows are disappearing?
    Thanks

    Make sure the episodes you wish to sync have checkmarks.
    Also make sure your iPod (click in iTunes) says sync only checked.

  • Help!! All sorts of problems with my BlackBerry

    Hi everyone,
    I need some help..or lots of it really!  I've had my Sprint 8830 for about a year and a half to two years.  Recently I've been having all sorts of issues.  My call log/texts disappear which I assume is related to memory..but I have deleted many things to free up the memory on my phone.  I'm also not receiving texts.  People are constantly telling me they send me tons of texts and I never receive any of them!  I tried sending one to my phone from another phone and it didn't go through the first 4 times, but the one time it did, my phone beeped and as I went to read the message it just disappeared!  Also, my phone isn't ringing and is going straight into voicemail..only notifying me of a new message--not a missed call.  I've been in my house when these things have happened so I know it's not a service area problem. 
    I took my phone into Sprint 3 days ago, they said they installed a bunch of updates but I'm still having problems.  Help!  Is it just time for a new phone?
    Thanks for any help you can offer!!

    The normal minimum memory limit is considered 15mb, you have 6mb.
    Do you have a lot of third party applications on your BB weather, icall,bbalerts etc?
    I do not know your experience level, so if you know this I'm sorry but please read and let me
    know if this applies.
    Most people close the applications by pressing the escape or red key. This does not close the applications.
    Each application has a CLOSE option. For instance if you are in the calendar hit the menu key (spotted key) and scroll down to the bottom CLOSE is listed. Go through each application and press close. Go into the browser press menu and options select cache operations clear all categories and hit escape it will say cleaning memory. If your device has:
    Go to options - security - memory cleaning - enable it. The BB will now clean memory when idle for 5 minutes.
    you will have an icon on you screen for memory cleaning make sure you press it. Make sure you use the CLOSE button each time you are done with an application.

  • Hard drive replacement, now all sorts of problems

    A couple weeks ago my hard drive crashed. I confirmed at the Apple store that it was the hard drive, and they gave me instructions on how to put a new one in.
    Since I've put the new one in I've had all sorts of problems.
    1. My previously totally fine battery doesn't show up at all. Though the battery says it's fully charged, the laptop says that no battery is available.
    2. DVDs don't play. The DVD player gets rolling, and then freezes.
    3. Photobooth doesn't load "because the camera is in use by another application".
    4. My external sound input/output can't be recognized or set up though the driver (also because the IOdirect is "in use").
    5. The computer won't completely shut down sometimes and freezes on the blue screen just prior to complete shut down.
    I've wiped the hard drive and started over to the same results.
    Please, any help?

    Have you fixed you problem yet?
    1. Have you checked to make sure that the drive is plugged in properly and setting on the proper mounts that were on the old drive?
    2. How did you go about putting the OS OSX on the newly installed drive? Ex. Did you install OSX and all you applications then then restored you personal data from a backup? Did you use Time Machine to restore OSX and all data to the new drive? Or did you use a previously cloned drive, along with a program such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Clone, to restore to the new drive?

    10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
    * and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
    Shame on you Apple.

  • New itunes wiped ipod of all music

    Okay, so... I got a new computer, which has the new iTunes. So I just wanted to add some music to my ipod, EXCEPT when I plugged it in, ALL SEEMED fine with it, I had my music on there (I even made sure my preferences said, Prevent iPods and other devices from automatically syncing.) So, I add some new music onto my ipod and ALL OF A SUDDEN, after I disconnect and unplug it from my computer, my iPod MAGICALLY has NOTHING ON IT. Everything is gone. What the F***? Anyone else have this problem?

    See the first section of Corrupt iPod classic. If the media files aren't visible in the hidden folders then it may still be possible to use an unerase/undelete or other file recovery tool.
