Out of Room on my 60g iPod video

I have a 60gig iPod video that has about 5 gigs left, it is all music (14000+ songs)I would like to keep the music on my iTunes as I use that as I use that for my home stereo, is there some way I can flag some of the songs to delete off of my iPod but keep them in itunes?

Actually the check mark does affect play in iTunes--unchecked songs will not automatically play.
I would make a playlist of the songs you want off your iPod, you can uncheck this list when you sync your iPod and then easily recheck all of the songs after you disconnect your iPod so iTunes will still play all of your music.

Reformat 60g ipod video for windows

I would like to reformat a recently purchased ipod already mac formatted (and loaded with files) to windows. The idea would be to use the ipod and itunes with both pc and mac.
I haven't purchased any songs from itunes and plan to use my existing music as mp3s rather than m4p or m4a on the ipod.
I have an external hard drive (formatted fat32) which can be used to back up music/video files which reside on the mac computer (and are also present on the ipod), transfer them over to the pc, then back onto the ipod again after formatting.
I've read that apple does not officially support a windows formatted ipod to be used on a mac. I've also read that using an ipod formatted fat32 on a mac slows down read/write in itunes, etc, but not sure if that also applies to the latest ipod video units.
Can someone verify this? I would like to be able to use the ipod on both platforms.
Can I just format the ipod with windows into fat32, or do I have to use the apple software to do this?
Would using the ipod like this be more trouble than it is worth?
dell Windows XP

Thank you Niel.
I have an old winme computer that I've been using to format my external hard drives to FAT32 and have had success for 200g and 300gb drives which xp and mac then recognize, but there probably is some advantage in using Apple's refomating software for the ipod, so I will use that.
The ipod will be used on both xp and mac. I came across a post regarding using one of the older ipods formated in FAT32 and how that file system slowed certain functions with the mac as opposed to HFS formatted ipod and was wondering if anybody has experienced this with the ipod video.
When using ipod with both xp and mac, are there any other issues to be concerned with, like syncing with itunes, etc?

What is SPV Diag Boot??? I have the 60G ipod video.....

I have a 60G ipod. Everytime I turn my ipod on it goes to this screen SPV Diag Boot. And I try to follow the steps to fix it but it keeps going on with these test and it never works. What is this and why am i getting this.
Thanks alot for any help,
-Mike-

Restoring it is a good step to take in your case to make sure it's not the iPod software causing the issue. Reset the iPod (hold the center and menu button till the apple logo comes up) and as it boots back up, put it next to your ear. If you hear any clicking, grinding or such noises, it's probably hard drive failure, which can happen without the sad face icon. Skipping and pausing can be caused by a dying drive.

HELP My 60g ipod video is condensed into a 55.7g ipod video

help my video ipod's hard drive capacity has been reduced to 55 G. How do i fix this. Is there any way

Your drive has not been condensed. When you see a 60gb hard drive for sale, or any other size for that matter, the manufacturer assumes the following:
1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes
1 megabyte = 1000 kilobytes
1 gigabyte = 1000 megabytes
This is however not the case, as each of the these units is 1024 of the previous one, so 1 gigabyte is actually 1024 megabytes.
To find out the actual storage you get from a 60 gb drive, fyrst convert the number to bytes thus:
60.000.000.000
gb mb kb b
60gb = 60.000mb = 60.000.000kb ...etc
Then divide three times with 1024, since we went three units down to bytes
60.000.000.000 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = 55,87gb
Then you get the actual storage capacity of the drive. Using the same method you could see that a 500gb drive is only 465gb, and 1000gb is 931gb...

Leaving 60g iPod video in a car in the sun

Hello I tried a search but didn't get the info I was looking for.
I was wondering how sensitive the new iPod's were to being left in a hot car for a period of time , like in a glove box in the summer.
I definately don't think it would be the greatest thing for them but I'm just wondering if in general it's been an iPod killer here on the forum? Anyone have any experience with this type of thing ...good bad or otherwise?

On an 85 degree day, the temperature inside your car, even with the windows open a bit, will climb to 102 degrees in 10 minutes! After half an hour, it will go up to 120 degrees or even higher! On a 90 degree day, temps in that car can top 160 degrees faster than you can walk around the block.
iPod Environmental requirements
Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
Non operating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m)

Getting Photos and Videos into my iPod Video ???

I want to used my 60G iPod Video as a mobile harddisk to store my photos/videos I take when I travel. Do anyone know if there is any card readers that can be used when I am out?? I found the Apple site very UN-user-friendly and I cannot locate what I want.

There are card readers for models prior to 5G, but I'm not aware of any yet. They are expected though.
There are readers that will connect directly to your camera and they are compatible with the 5G.
Here's the iPod camera reader (pretty low priced!)

IPod Video - Display Settings (Title, Artist, Album...)

I am trying to figure out if I can alter my IPod Video display settings. When a song is playing, it shows the album art with the song title, artist, and album adjacent. Is there a away to change this display so that it does not display the album while the song is currently playing?

Three issues here. The pre-pending is useless when selecting songs to play, plus it.takes up much of the admittedly limited space in my on-screen menu. Since it doesn't help me select a song to play, it simply prevents more relevant info from being displayed in that area. However, there is a second area on the menu that is designed to list title, artist and album but those fields are blank - despite I-tunes inclusion of the info in the xferred files.
JCP,
Regarding the tags, on an MP3 CD iTunes simply burns whatever is embedded in the MP3 file. From your description, it sounds like the Onkyo is seeing the filenames but not the tags, which does seem strange. You may want to try the question in an Onkyo forum.
If you don't need the pre-pended serial number, and don't care about the sequence, you can burn from iTunes as a data CD instead of an MP3 CD.

Best Photo Recovery App for Ipod video?

Hi.... what should be the best app recovery tool out there that is compatible with iPod video?

If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option you don't need a 3rd party program. Enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer", open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
Disk Use.
As for other programs, I don't know if this is the "best", but it's one I've used successfully before.

60Gig Ipod Video Issues

i have a 60G ipod video and I had just connected it to my PC and transferred all my music and videos, and then the computer made the sound when something is disconnected from the USB drive. And i looked at the ipod and it comes up with the Apple boot screen, then makes a few clicking sounds then shuts off, then does the same thing again. It's been constantly doing this for the last 20 minutes....
I can reset it using the centre and menu buttons, and the screen goes blank, but then it just starts doing the same thing a few seconds later...
i only just got this ipod this morning and already it is stuffing up.... any help?

New ITUNES Does not allow me to sync and wiped out song on my ipod video

I was prompted to update my ITUNES software (7.02 I believe). Once I did this, it told me that I needed to update my Quick Time Software, which I also did.
I did as I was told and took my IPOD Video out on my walk. It deleted every song on my out except for two. When I attempeted to re synch the IPOD it will not allow me to do it.
The playlists on the IPOD appear to be locked.
HELP PLEASE

I am having the same problem. My library is not showing up on my computer but is on my phone. The only thing on my computer is the 3 songs I just bought. My message says that my Iphone is synced with another library. I do not want to lose the 100+ songs on my iphone. I do not see them anywhere on my Mac computer. Should I sync or will I lose all music?

Thoroughly angry and frustrated. I've run out of room and need to make more to add more songs. Once and for all, how do I, if I even CAN, delete music from my iPod Nano WITHOUT losing them from iTunes?

You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available. You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.

Ipod Video out to TV

I connected my Ipod Video to the TV via a composite video cable from the line out jack on top of the Ipod to the RCA jacks on the TV. The movie played but the motion of the movie was consistently slurred (like a slow internet connection). Why is this happening? Is it the Ipod, video cable, or something else?

Did you check the settings on the TV itself? Are you feeding the video through a A/V receiver?
Those may also be distorting your picture.
In my case, I'm going from my Nano>Yamaha A/V receiver>Mitsubishi 65" WS TV.
Once I set my receiver up, and set my TV to standard, I was getting a distortion-free picture (at least with the "Jack-Jack" short that I got free from iTunes). My setting in the Nano were WS & NTSC. Everything was cool (I was surprised on how good the picture looked, but then my Yamaha is great for upscaling).
I don't know if this helped, but if you list a little more about your config, I might be able to assit better.

HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod. It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

Is the iPod video supposed to suck out of the box?

I just purchased a brand new 30 GB iPod video and it's awful right out of the box. Everytime I start it up for some reason I get that Apple restart screen but nothing is restarted. When I click on a song under and album it takes 30 seconds to a minute for music to even start and when it does it's two or three songs later than what I actually clicked on. It's also incredibly slow switching songs and menus, especially songs.
I heard the iPod videos can just be like this and many are. Is this true? If so, back to the drawing board, Apple.
Also, is anyone else upset it doesnt support firewire?

I read it now supports firewire but i don't believe it. Well I got a new a 30 Gig Video Ipod too and it works like a charm, you probaly got a defected model, it happens, and if you have a warranty get it replaced because even the limited warranty from apple will take it back if its defected (just don't say you dropped it even if you did).
