Odd ipod behavior

I have several videos in my itunes library that were on my ipod but then I switched them to tvshow and they didn't appear on my ipod so I switched them back, and now I get the message that my ipod cannot play the videos. Can someone please help with this problem? Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Here is why they didn't transfer to the iPod...
Videos Labeled TV Shows Don't Appear on iPod
Also, right click the video on the computer and go to convert selection for iPod. Does it convert?

  • Random freezing and odd keyboard behaviors on 10.5.8

    My random freezing started on 10.5.6. Updated to 10.5.7 and the problem persist. I have decided to upgrade to 10.5.8. Everything seemed fine for a day and a half. Then all of a sudden random freezing when starting, login, wake from sleep, etc.. and now odd keyboard behaviors. function keys randomly work when computer is not frozen.
    I have tried every option listed in the discussions here and elsewhere. Does anyone have the same problems?

    I have tried so far:
    disk permissions repaired from dvd and startup,
    disk first aid,cleaned caches, virus checked, zapped the pram, reset power management, ran apple hardware check, ran disk warrior, trashed network prefs, deleted sleep image, replaced directory with techtool pro, tried new user account, re-updated, removed 3rd party software, and nothing works?????

    hi i was wondering how to get icloud on an odd ipod touch?

    An odd one? Do you mean an old one?
    Unless you can update it to iOS5, you can't. Connect it to iTunes and find out if it can be updated.

  • Odd display behavior

    Happy New Year to All!
    I just recently upgraded to Tiger. Since that time, I have noticed some rather odd display behavior on my screen. For example, when I am on web site that has a "fill-in" box, once I highlight that box to fill it in, a black rectangle stays in that position on my screen until I click on the desktop.
    Likewise, if I highlight an icon on the desktop, a black rectangle outlines the icon and stays visible until I either highlight something else or click randomly on the screen.
    I never noticed this behavior under Panther (10.3.9) and while it's not a huge deal, it does seem odd. It's as if the screen doesn't refresh after moving on. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Brad
    P.S. After posting this message, a black rectangle corresponding to the message edit box stayed on my screen. Irritating.

    Hi William,
    Yes, I tried both and booted / used my Tech Tool Deluxe repair disk. All no help. Don't know if they are related, but also have other odd things going on.
    Is it normal to have two Restart selections, two Shutdown selections and two Logout Selections under the Apple menu in Tiger? I do. Didn't in Panther, but can't remember if I've always had them in Tiger. Should I?
    Also, can't get my scanner (All-in-one, printer works) to run in Tiger. All of these problems go away when I boot into my 10.3.9 clone on my Firewire drive. I'd really hate to return to Panther, but ...
    Basically, I'm getting some very odd behavior, from a system that has always been relatively bullit-proof until now. I do all the req'd housekeeping stuff, have both Macaroni and Cocktail. Don't know what to try.

  • Odd usage behavior

    iPhone v101: this odd usage behavior just started half a week ago. This is the second time it happened. During standby, the usage time continues to count forward. I leave my phone on my desk not using it, but the usage still goes up. For example, the usage was 1 hour and 20 minutes when I checked like three hours ago, now it says 4 hours and some minutes. WiFi off, not running any apps, great signal and I cannot find anything running. This behavior also appear to drain the battery a little bit. The phone was not being charged or on plugged in anywhere; just sitting still on my desk. Now, the usage is back to normal and not accumulating time when I am not using it. This is strange. Have anyone else seem this happening? I had the phone for over a month now...

    I didn't notice it causing any battery drain, but it sounds like I am charging it differently than you are. Here's how mine worked:
    I would plug the iPhone into the wall charger at night to charge while I slept. In the morning, it would show a full charge by showing a plug on the small battery icon, but the large green battery would still have a sliver that wasn't green. The usage and standby stats would show something in the 3-4 hour range, presumably the time since it hit full charge.
    I would disconnect the phone, check my email, and then take it to my desktop computer and plug it in to sync and update all my podcasts, etc. I would leave it plugged into my desktop while I showered while I got ready for work. By the time I was ready to leave, it would again show a full charge on the small icon, but now my stats would be reset to 0 and would function normally throughout the day. But nothing I did ever stopped the stats from running up during the night after attaining full charge.
    1.0.1 got rid of the stats problem (they always stay at 0/0 in the morning with a full charge until I unplug the phone) AND the weird behavior of the large green battery indicator went away. Now both indicators show full charge in the morning.

  • 4G 20GB iPod - odd battery behavior

    Hi everyone,
    After spending the better part of this evening/night looking at these discussion forums, I haven't seen any posts that are quite the same as the problem I'm experiencing.
    I've had my iPod for just over a year, and we all know what that means, but I'm convinced it's not a major thing and something I can probably fix myself.
    Enough suspense. About a month ago, I downloaded the iPod updater (I believe the 9/22/05 version) and installed it, and things seemed fine until the next time I used it. I was able to listen to music uninterrupted for about a half hour and then it gave me a low battery warning and shut itself down. (It had been fully charged so it should have worked for MUCH longer than a half hour.) I turned it back on and it went through its whole restart routine and it let me listen to music. I assumed it was a glitch.
    However, lately, it has become more frequent and has gotten to the point where I can only get about 20 minutes of battery life out of it. I get the same warning, usually immediately after I select a song to listen to, and the iPod shuts down. Sometimes it will let me listen a bit more, and more often than not, it will not restart again. When I plug it in with the AC adapter to charge, it usually takes an hour or less to be "charged." However, I still only get about 20 minutes from it, if I'm lucky.
    This evening I restored it to factory settings and have yet to find out if it has done any good. (It's amazing how quickly nearly 20 GB of music can be erased from your iPod!)
    One more odd thing: I've left it plugged in via USB for most of the night as I've been putting music back onto it, and the battery icon in the corner leads me to believe it's charging. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it could be promising.
    Has anyone else had a similar problem? And if so, were you able to fix it, and how?
    The thought of being without my iPod for the battery to be replaced makes me sick...

  • Odd firewire ipod behavior

    So, I've been having a problem with my ipod photo 60gb for quite some time now - syncing photos. Finally thought I need to figure out the problem. The symptons were that it would take ages to sync my photos, but would eventually finish. Once I unplugged my iPod everything was hunky dory, but when I plug it back in it is unreadable, and I have to restore and re-sync everything.
    After some research I discovered that this must be due to 1 or more corrupt photos in my iPhoto library (which seems fine).
    Long story short - here is where I am:
    I have an external firewire drive been in use for a long time just fine - used it on either of my firewire ports (QSDP800 upgraded). I use firewire on my iPod and have since I got it (it did not always exhibit this problem).
    Now, I discovered that if I copy a photo (a good photo) to my desktop it works fine. Copy it to my external firewire drive, it's fine. Copy it to my iPod - it's corrupt and unreadable.
    I have tried another Firewire cable, and my other firewire port (where my ext firewire drive was).
    I only have USB1.1 so it's slow, but I tried a iPod USB cable and it worked! Obviously I cannot always use this (too slow).
    I can potentially get a firewire/USB2 PCI expansion card or better, figure out why this is happening.
    It's not the cable (tried 2) and not the firewire port (use an external drive on it, and tried the iPod with no other firewire devices) and not my photos (they are fine) not the iPod (works with USB). I guess it could (longshot) be the firewire interface inside the iPod, but what are the chances?
    Any thoughts?

    If you eject the drives properly, does that help? Perhaps you can change the order they are daisy chained and switch the 800 to the 400 and vice versa. I assume that each of the drives has its own power brick? Try resetting the FW bus:
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Disconnect all devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
    3. Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
    4. Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
    5. Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.
    Please let us know if anything helped.

  • Odd Ipod Mini Battery Behaviour

    Hi, I've got a problem with a used mini I just bought.
    It's a 4 gig newer mini, (2004 on the back), and a full charge last maybe 2 hours total.
    The odd behaviour part is that after the ipod shuts down due to low battery, I can sometimes start it up again and the battery indicator will fill partway and I can use it for a seemingly random amount of time, until it dies again, totalling no more than 2 hours play.
    I'm going through the process of charging now, I just updated the software, I've reset it as well.
    I just want to know if anyone has a hint to fixing this or has had a similar problem with their mini.
    I'll post if the problem is resolved.
    Thanks!

    First: You Spelled BEHAVIOR wrong.
    Second: I have experienced those same problems, and i have realized that my iPod had a dead battery, it was about 4 months old, but i over-used the backlight and it died eventually. You have to take your iPod to an Apple store or order repair online, you should easily get a new one if your SERIAL # indicates that it's less than a year from the date of purchase, which it most certainly looks like. If you need more help, keep adding on to this topic...

  • Odd compiler behavior (re: generics)

    Greetings, I am encountering a rather odd compiler generated error/warning with some code. The issue involves using an "independent" generic method of a raw-typed class. That is, the class has a variable T (call it Test<T> and has an instance method that returns ArrayList<String>. The problem: when a raw typed Test is used, the ArrayList returned is also raw. Here is some code to illustrate:
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    class Test<T>{
      ArrayList<String> getChildren(){
        return null;
      static void test1( Test t ){
        ArrayList<String> children = t.getChildren();
    // WARNING:                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    //Test.java:26: warning: [unchecked] unchecked conversion
    //found   : java.util.ArrayList
    //required: java.util.ArrayList<java.lang.String>
      static void test2( Test<?> t ){
        // OK, since we have the type variable set.
        ArrayList<String> children = t.getChildren();
      }If the type variable is specified as anything but raw, then it works fine.
    Is there some explantation for this behavior? My argument: since the return type of getChildren doesn't use the wildcard, why does the type argument of the implicit instance matter? Is this a compiler bug or just a "sharp edge" in the specification (perhaps even reasonable or necessary).
    I know the solution (or workaround). I am just seeking an explanation.
    Thanks,
    - Tim

    I found a bug evaluation (6358084) that was closed as not a bug where
    the evaluator wrote:
    All members, regardless of their dependence of type parameters, are erased.
    So the compiler is correct, the method call is unchecked.
    Still, I am ignorant of the reasoning for independent or fully described types.

  • Odd RV042 behavior can someone help shed some light?

    We have a group of 4 x RV042 routers linking the 3 branch offices back to the head office via VPN site to site tunnels. Also each of the sites has dual ISP connection, one from a cable provider and the other a DSL connection operating in smart link backup mode with tunnels configured for when each wan is active. In the past week one of the branch offices RV042 started failing over to the secondary DSL WAN link when the primary cable ISP WAN IP was expired and was being refreshed.
    The odd behavior starts a few hours after the switch over, the system log reports that the router restarted but with no error reported and it shows the date being December 31 2002 beginning with a System Up message then the firmware message which is at 1.3.12.19 and establishes a connection with the primary WAN at this point I can ping the public IP but I cannot connect to the router nor can the users at the branch browse the web or establish VPN connectivity to the main office. This condition persists until the router is physically powered down and back on at which time it shows the correct date and time and all operations work well for the day. I must note the behavior seems to only occur between 5am - 7am so I want to believe that this behavior is tied to the ISP IP lease cycle, but it only affects one branch office with all offices using identical ISP's, setup and configuration.
    Can someone help make sense of this situation as rebooting the router each day is becoming annoying?

    Hi Garth,
    Thank you for posting. I wish I had a brilliant explanation for you that would immediately solve the problem. Unfortunately I have not seen this before. There is a possibility that the configuration file is corrupt or has been changed inadvertently. I think I would set the router to factory defaults and manually reconfigure it. There is also the option of swapping the router for another. If the other router does the same thing it could point to an environmental issue. If this router does the same thing at the alternate location it could point to either a configuration or hardware issue.

  • Odd Gvim behavior in Fluxbox

    I just started using gvim recently, and while it's a great editor, it has some weird resizing behavior. I'm not quite sure if it is gvim or fluxbox that is responsible, so I was wondering if anybody could help me stop it. Here's what happens:
    I start Gvim and it looks like this. The dimensions of this window are set by fluxbox, previously I resized it to the size I wanted it and selected remember -> dimensions from the rightclick menue of its title bar. Notice where the bottom edge of the window is.

  • Safari Odd Font Behavior

    Hi, shortly before Christmas we replaced our old eMac with a new iMac running Leopard version 10.5.1 and Safari version 3.0.4. A couple of days ago, my wife installed some new software (Rosetta Stone, which is language learning software) and, since that installation, is reporting strange font behavior in Safari. Specifically, the spacing appears odd and letters appear to be overlapping where they shouldn't be.
    Based on her description, I am suspecting there is a font conflict somewhere Rosetta Stone installed some fonts that are not playing nicely with Safari but, as I am still running Tiger and am 8,000 miles from home right now, I'm not in a position to tinker around in search of a solution. Any ideas/suggestions would be welcome.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    I'm not familiar with Rosetta Stone, however, he two fonts that seem to adversely affect Safari are Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic.
    Have your wife open Font Book in your Applications folder. Enter either of these names in the spotlight panel. If either appears, disable it via the Edit menu.
    If the above referenced fonts applies to your situation, download a copy of Nuke Font. This will allow her to clean the Font cache.
    When done, restart the computer/Safari.

  • Odd trackpad behavior, opens Command+ F in any program.

    I have an odd behavior on my Mac that's starting to get pretty annoying.
    I have a late 2009 model. If I am in say Safari, and I wiggle my finger near the bottom of the track pad, (wiggling up and down on the bottom center edge of the trackpad) it opens up the search bar for Safari.
    Basically Command+F.
    If I am on the desktop (Finder) and do the same action it opens Command+ F once again, this time just in Finder.
    In iTunes, the same motion on the trackpad puts me in full screen, which is, you guess it. Command+ F.
    I have tried to get rid of this behavior by terminal commands killall Finder, killall Dock, and also by moving the user/library/preferences folder contents to the desktop, so that programs rewrite their preferences, but everything still has the same behavior.
    Any ideas?
    - Pixel -

    Never heard of anything like it, frankly. Run the Apple Hardware Test you'll find on one of the DVDs that came with your MBP, and make an exact note of any errors it reports. Then make a Genius Bar appointment at an Apple Store and demonstrate the problem to the Genius. Also show the Genius the text of the error report (if there was one).

  • Odd Sound Behavior After 10.6.2 Update

    I've had a few odd sound issues since updating to 10.6.2:
    1) Volume is set at 50% after some reboots (I normally have it set at 12.5%). This has happened about 1/2 the time after reboots (which have unfortunately been much more often in 10.6).
    2) While iTunes is playing the sound stops and the sound icon in the menu bar greys out. iTunes keeps 'playing' but I don't get any sound. This lasts for 5 - 10 seconds and happens a few times an hour but without any predictability.
    It may happen at times that iTunes isn't playing and I just don't notice it. It has happened while the system as announcing the time as well. This may be the cause of sound issue #3 but I haven't caught the sound icon in a 'grey state' when the notification sounds don't play yet.
    When the sound icon is grey I get the beach ball and Safari doesn't respond (standard 'Application not responding' message). Other apps seem to work while this is happening (Finder, System Prefs - including sound panel, FireFox, etc).
    3) Some expected sounds used for feedback in Finder & Mail don't always work. This is very intermittent and may be happening more often then I notice these are notification sounds and I don't realize that I've missed them. I don't know if it's associated to the sound failure mentioned in #2.
    ~
    I've also had some other odd behavior:
    * System won't wakeup from sleep (not always but often enough to require several reboots in the last week).
    * Safari just eats up RAM.
    * Safari has locked up for no apparent reason (no clue as to what sets it off).
    * Safari has locked up while using a Java applet. This only happens on occasion but always happens when launching a GoToMyPC session (GTMPC works fine in FireFox, even while Safari is locked up). This is separate from the Safari issue noted above.
    I'm using 10.6.2 w/ Safari 4.0.4 & iTunes 9.0.2 (Flash not installed)

    You could try [these grey sceen, etc., troubleshooting steps|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570] ignoring any duplicaion of what you already have don. And, you could try [these general troubleshooting steps|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1394] again ignoring duplication.
    If all above fails, then I suggest you do a repair install of Sno by installing Sno over Sno as in an upgrade install. Such an install, while usually very safe, still is an install so be appropriated backed up if you proceed.

  • Odd dock behavior

    Every so often out of the corner of my eye, I see some application launch and quit in the Dock — and it's fast too at probably under a second. It happened again this morning. Something is clearly launching and quitting. I've gone and looked at any logs I can find, and nothing appears to be out of the ordinary.
    Is it anything I should be concerned about?
    iMac G5 20" iSight; G3 Pismo Powerbook; LaCie 160G FW   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    See, the thing is it happens fast. So fast I only notice the Dock expand and shrink in a split second.
    It did it again this morning.
    For now, I've disabled all widget exept the world clock and calculator. The only thing I can think of is that the weather widget was phoning home for current time/temp. But since this is a new behavior, it's doubtful.
    Another odd thing that I noticed this morning: the Dock has acquired some icons that I have not put there.
