New iPod 30 or 60 gig?

I have had several iPods and am considering purchasing a new one. I can't decide between the new 30 or 60 gig models. I know the new 60 gig model is thicker and weighs more. Besides the obvious storage advantage, and I understand 4 more hours of battery life for the 60 gig model, can anyone please offer any perspectives or comments comparing and contrasting between these 2 iPod models? I have not seen any posting on this issue and thought it would be of interest. Thanks.

I think it depends on what you are using it for. I put my entire CD collection plus tons and tons of videos. I have already used around 35 gigs so far. Nonetheless, barring that you have tons and tons of music, a 30 gig would be adequate for music. If you plan on putting lots of videos on it, I would go with the 60gig. I would personally recommend going with a 60 gig, but that is just my opinion. Also, your right, you will get a longer battery life which is quite useful.

Are you sure of that? Check in the Library. Click on the Apps icon to see all apps. Similarly click on the Music icon to see the songs.

New ipod nano 2 gig

just got an ipod nano 2 gig from santa and found that i can't use it with my computer. i have a HP Pavillion Home Edition Version 2002, 2.10 GHz, 448 MB of Ram, service pack 2, using Windows XP.
The ipod specs ask for a service pack 4. I asked HP what to do. they said I should get a cd from apple to install what i need to run the ipod on my computer. i'm totally confused about it all. what do i need to do. return the ipod, upgrade my computer, or...
thanks,
babs

Windows Requirements
Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or later or Windows XP
500 MHz Pentium class processor or better
QuickTime 7.1.3 (included)
256MB RAM
Supported CD-R or DVD-R drive to burn CDs
Broadband Internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) for buying and streaming music
It sounds like you just need to do a windows update to get from SP2 to SP4... but then again Microsoft likes not supporting its old products so may no longer support that.
You may want to look into older versions of iTunes online... this is the latest for version 7.
If not, ask Santa for a Mac!!
HP should have said "do a windows update"... you fall within all of the requirements except for the Service Pack version.
Good luck, see what happens when you try to update your version of windows online.
Edit:
Did you try installing iTunes on your computer? SERVICE PACK 4 IS FOR WINDOWS 2000 ONLY NOT XP!!!!
You should go to www.apple.com/itunes download iTunes and install it on your computer.

New iPod Touch not working with G3 iMac

I got a new iPod Touch (4 gig) for Christmas. Tried plugging it into my iMac Power PC G3, and I get an error message. ( error OxE000001). Is my iMac too old to work with the iPod touch?
Also as a second issue, I have a wireless network, but I don't have it broadcasting it's name for security. When I turn on my lap top, if it doesn't automatically find the wifi network, I just type in the network name, and it pops up.
Any way to do this with the iPod Touch? (Type in the network name, even though it's not broadcast)
I'll also list this question on the WIFI section.

Ken;
I AM running with iTunes 9.0.2. in my slot loading G3 iMac. There is no special Hack.
You tried to help me earlier, when my G3 just would not work after I upgraded Safari and iTunes. I ended going to the Genius bar, where they worked on it for hours to get it going again. They installed earlier versions of both programs.
I was going to keep it that way, until I was given an iTouch for Christmas. The iMac just did not see it. I was resigned to updating my iTouch through my son's iBook.
In a question I had about upgrading my wireless network, John Galt said his 500mhz G3 worked OK with the iTouch. Over two weeks I slowly installed what he had, (or close to it) I think Safari has a G3 version, that I may have missed when you were helping me.
The last thing I upgraded was iTunes 9.0.2. After three or four tries, and plugging in the iTouch USB cable directly into the iMac, the iTouch was recognized! It seems to work fine over the past week or so.
Some odd things I have to live with. When I plug in the iTouch, iPhoto will start and ask about downloading pictures from the iTouch. I have to manually start iTunes if it is not already on. It does not automatically start like it does with my iPod nano.
Also I did not realize how slow this machine is, I thought down loading a CD through a La Cie DVD/CD player at 1.3x speed was fast. My son's iBook downloads a CD a 9 x speed! Oh well... slow but steady.....

Can't connect brand new iPod touch 4th gen to iTunes, please help!

I just got a new iPod touch, 16 gig 4th generation. I'm going through the setup process. Once I get to the option to connect through a network, I hit a problem. My internet at home requires a MAC address to be "invited" into the network before I can connect, however I can't get the MAC address until I complete setup!
So I choose the "Connect to iTunes" option instead. My computer recognizes that there is an iPod connected to it, but iTunes won't pick it up. There is nothing under "Devices".
What do I do?? ):

I just retried a step I missed earlier in the articles before and ran into a problem here:
#5 Verify that the apple mobile devi usb driver is installed
> for windows 7
> if the apple mobile device usb driver is not listed
> if only Apple iPod appears
> for windows 7
I went through all these steps until #8: Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog. At this point it tries to load for a bit and I get this message:
"Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. (Apple Mobile Device USB Driver)
Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)"
As for your reply, I did indeed already try removing and reinstalling all the Apple programs with unfortunately no effect.
When I do the sync test, I get that one or more things failed: iTunes Helper not running and No iPod found.

IPod Video 80 Gig won't mount on desktop or in iTunes

I just bought a new ipod video 80 gig. And a MacPro.
It worked great for about a week, and works when it is not connected to the computer, but when I connect it it just displays the "do not disconnect" screen and won't appear in itunes or in the finder.
despite resetting, re-installing itunes, I can't get it to mount on any computer.
Is this a Apple Store issue, or is anyone aware of a fix?

Seen these?

iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.

How do I delete album artwork that came w/ a brand new ipod =no music on it

I recently purchased a new ipod Classic (80 gig) at a nationwide electronics store. The first time I turned it on it had an album cover of Manu Chao on the Main Menu. There is no music on the ipod yet the album cover is there. The store's corporate office says that they sell returned ipods as new ones. I am guessing that since there is no music on the ipod there is no way to delete this album cover through iTunes. It appears to be deeply embedded in another file or ID3 Tag ... I don't understand much at all about where to start. If anyone has encountered this problem or if anyone knows how to find where the image is stored (which file) and remove it, please let me know. You all are great! Thanks!

Hi, rebuilding your iPod's artwork cache should sort this out...
*Rebuilding Artwork Cache*
To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.
You are probably best making a samll single album playlist to do a trial sync with. That way it should be easy to tell if the unwanted artwork has been removed. If that still doesn't work then do a full restore.

New iPod Classic jumps to next track after a few seconds of certain songs

I have several tracks that will not play on my new iPod Classic (80 gig) for more than a few seconds. After a few seconds, the iPod jumps to the next track. I have played the same songs on my last generation iPod with no problem and in Itunes and Windows Media player with no problem. There is clearly an issue with the new iPod hardware/software. Anyone else having this issue and found a fix.
I have already done a complete reinstall of the new iTunes and restored my iPod to factory settings and installed the latest iPod software.

Actually - I just noticed your solution to the issue. I tried PT's solution, which I mention above and it didn't work. I haven't tried your solution - however, I have considered it. Here's the problem with it though. The first problem is having to sift through 5400+ songs on my ipod to know which ones are having the issue and which ones need to be burned. The second issues is that the songs are compressed mp3's. Converting the compressed mp3's into a cd and reimporting it back into mp3 further degrades the file - you're essentially making an mp3 from an mp3. It actually makes no sense to do this unless you've purchased your music from an online store and therefore don't have the original cd's. Since all of my music is from my cd collection, it would be simpler to re-import the songs from the cds. But, it's really the first issue I mentioned that is the kicker - I don't want to go through my entire music collection to find out which ones are having the problem. The problem isn't the tracks as far as I am concerned - I still have my previous generation iPod and the same tracks play fine. The same tracks play fine in iTunes and Windows Media Player. The problem is the new iPod. If Apple can't resolve the issue through an iPod/iTunes update in the next week or so, I'll just return the iPod and stick with my old one.

Brand New iPod lags

I bought a brand new iPod video 30 gig on Friday, and uploaded all my music freshly. Therefore, the music isn't fragmented or anything, it's all been freshly put on there.
However, whenever I try to use the shuffle songs feature on the main screen (i.e. the full iPod shuffle) my iPod lags. I can feel and hear the hard drive work, and I'm not sure why it's doing this. This also happens when I'm just playing an album, and it's bothering me.
Is there any way I can fix this, or is this normal and I'm over-scrutinizing it? Thanks.
5 Gen 30 gig Windows XP

I'm pretty sure it's not normal, but there is a 2 week warranty on it, so you can return it and they will get you a fresh one. My Nano just shut down on me, and I returned it and got one that is brand new and is working fine.

New ipod video...please help!!!

Hi, I really hope someone will be able to help me with this question:
I just got a new iPod(video)30 gig and I was wondering if I can put my own movies/videos NOT purchased from iTunes on my iPod.
If yes, how can I do this?
please help me!
Thank You.

Yes, you can.
We would have to know what video file types you want to put on the iPod.
However, please post in the Fifth Generation iPod forums for more info...

I recorded a 8min video on my brand new ipod touch 4g 9 gigs,i had .9gs bef

i recorded a 8min video on my brand new ipod touch 4g 9 gigs,i had .9gs before the vid,after i was done recording it,it said it saved it,but its not in my photos but it took up the memory im down to .3gs now in itunes it says i have 281 photos but on my ipod i have around 278 ***

Are you saying you can't find the video in your iPod Touch, or you can't find it in iTunes? Because iTunes doesn't save any videos from your camera roll, you have to go into the device from your computer and drag it to your computer.

New IPOD 30 gig not seen by one PC is seen by another PC

Hello. I have an IPOD 30 gig that I bought for my son for christmas. It has been working fine for about 3 weeks on my main PC at home. Over the last 1-2 weeks the same PC is no longer "seeing" the IPOD. This same PC is "seeing" and is able to sync with another IPOD, a 4 gig NANO, just fine. The other day I finally had a chance to try to fix it by following all of the posts about 5 Rs etc and the PC is still being difficult, I have tested it on all of my USB ports built in to the PC and on one built into the HP printer, none see the IPOD. I have tried to format it using the HP format USB device tool, but since the IPOD is not seen by the PC it does not allow a format to occur. The IPOD does charge when plugged into the USB port but that is all it does.
So the other day I finally had a moment to test using my laptop, and the stinking IPOD worked as it should, the laptop could "see" the IPOD and Itunes could sync with it fine. I then retested the IPOD to the main PC and it is still not working at all.
Can someone give me a new direction to take to help me make my son happy again?
Thanks,
Larry

hi Pinz!
it just recognizes an Unknown USB device and doesn't find any Driver for iPod.
hmmm. the messages are explicitly mentioning drivers? if so, let's try the techniques in this MarkJones post:

New ipod 60 gig with video problem

I've converted several of my dvd's to watch on my brand new 60 gig ipod and using itunes placed them properly into my ipod. Each one plays for about 30 seconds, then stops, then resumes but with no sound. I have seen other posts related to version 1.0, but my new ipod came with 1.1 already installed. Any ideas on how to resolve this problem. Is Apple working on a fix for this "known" problem that seem to just affect the 60 gig video ipod? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks...

The fix has been out for several months.
iPods with software version 1.1.1 or later no longer experience this problem.
Update your iPod to software version 1.1.2...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Update iPod's Software
