PLEASE,help me! iPod 30 GB - compressing & converting videos & backing up

Please!!! Can somebody help me?? I've posted this message, but I haven't had an answer... I'd like to know how can I compress and convert the video so it will be smaller in my ipod???
and I'd like to know if when I back up from my smart playlist do I have to use a rewritable cd or if I use a normal virgin cd it's ok....and, plus, recording my smart playlist (i mean, a back up cd) means recording and compressing the files into the cd (because i have a lot of songs and, normally, all of them wouldn't fit into only one cd)?

Please Help! iPod won't play videos anymore!

I've had my 5th generation iPod for a year now and for the last 3 months I have not been able to get my videos to play. I have DVD's that I've burned as well as movies that I've downloaded. At first, only one or two wouldn't play and now I am down to only 1, out of about 20 videos that will still work.
When I try to play a video I get a black screen. I can adjust the volume and see that the video is there, but the elapsed time just stays frozen at 00:00. The only way to recover the iPod after this is to reset it by holding down the menu and select buttons. I've checked that the TV out is off and tried everything else that I can figure out to try. I have even restored the iPod and reloaded all of the content. Still, only that one video will play and all the others lock up the iPod. I've tried re-downloading the videos and ripping the DVD's again. I also tried adding new videos. The iPod syncs and the videos upload fine but when I try to play them… no luck.
Anyone else have this same problem? It's driving me crazy. Ready to go buy a Zune.

Hello,
Only i could say, that i have the same problem with my 30Gb iPod during the last two or three months. Just after syncing my iPod i was not able to see any video. In the beginning one restart of the device was helpful and video started playing as usual. Now does not help anything: either multiple restarts of the iPod, or restoring all settings via iTunes.
Since i have encountered this problem, i have not found any answer.

Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
Good Luck!

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The file is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The temporary file it saves is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes. I have been able to locate the file using GrandPerspective and close out of FCP to delete it. But when I try exporting the movie again it creates the ICMMultiPassStorage file again. I have made sure my scratch disks are set to my external hard drive so I know that isn't the issue. How do I fix this problem so these temporary files are not being stored on my internal hard drive instead of my external?Thanks!

Try exporting the timeline "using current settings" via Make QuickTime Movie, then submit that clip to Compressor for the transcode. This should be faster and less painful.

Please help my ipod disconnected from the Internet and wont reconnect and i did the right password

- Do other devices still connect to the network?
- Does the iPod connect to other networks?
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router.
- Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Please help, my iPod could not backing up on iTunes.

Please help, my iPod could not backing up on iTunes. It always says, "iTunes could not back up the iPod because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPod. Delete the backup for this iPod, then try again." What's wrong with my iTunes??

look at the brightside at least your computer sees yours

Please help me. I cannot import videos into itunes library

I have read the manual's entries on doing this and nothing seems to be working. It won't let me import my own videos into the itunes library for me to convert to a file recognized by ipod. I have a 5th generation ipod. I am doing everything it tells me to do and still nothing. I have called technical support and they won't help me because I didn't purchase the videos through itunes. I have tried to click and drag the file and it won't let me do it even though the manual says that's what to do. when I look into the movies tab it is blank. When I put a dvd in my drive to copy to itunes library it doesn't even show up. I am going crazy and am about to return this if I can't get this figured out.

See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

PLEASE HELP : Major IPOD Problem

Please Help:
Recently I downloaded the new Itunes(Itunes 7). After downloading it I was prompted to upgrade my Ipod (30g Video) to the new system (1.2). Almost immediatly after finishing this download my Ipod turned off, and is now frozen and will not turn on. Also, my computer doesn't recognize when my Ipod is plugged in, nor does the "Do not disconnect" screen come up, my Ipod stays blank. I called Apple they told me that I can send in my Ipod for it to be fixed, but the hard drive on the Ipod will be wiped. I recently bought a new computer and do not have any of my songs in my library, this is over 2000 (2000 + dollars) songs I have bought that I am currently on the verge of losing.
I have tried various USB ports, two different computers, restarting my Ipod, talking to apple technichal support, putting my Ipod into disk mode, manually trying to get the compter to recognize the Ipod through the manager, and smashing on my desk out of anger hoping that something might happen (just kdding). I believe thats everything, any other ideas you have are greatly appreciated.
If anybody has any ideas on how can get my computer to recognize the Ipod is plugged in so I can back up all the songs (via my computer, ipod...copy all music files) would be greatly appreciated, that way when I send in my Ipod and then get it back, I can put my songs back on.
Thank you in advance!

one thing that you can try is something my dad taught me. This works great especiall if you have a PC.
When i had to replace my laptop and was worried about losing all of my purchased songs from itunes, i was told to plug the ipod into the computer BEFORE installing itunes. it will read on your computer as a mass storage device and then all you need to do is simply go into the folders and copy all of the files into your "my music" folder (or whatever folder you choose). After that, you need to install/reinstall itunes and when it searches your computer for music, ALL of your music (including purchased songs) will show up and all will be okay.
Just a few hints;
although this seems very simple, if you're a simple person like i am, you'll expect to see the songs on your ipod show up with normal/regular titles.....THEY WONT. They'll show up as letter-number combinations, but the music is all there.
In short;
1. uninstall/delete itunes
2. Plug in our ipod (but don't reinstall itunes yet)
3. copy ALL of the files you can find on your ipod
4. reinstall itunes
5. let it search your computer for music
you should be fine at this point.
I hope this helps!

Please HELP!!! Trouble w/ videos!

I purchased some music videos and TV shows from iTunes Music Store. At first no problem. Played great.
I connected my iPod to a computer that had iTunes 4 (not video capable).
Ever since - I have not been able to view my music videos or TV shows with my iPod or iTunes.
I tried connecting my iPod to another computer that did have a more updated version of iTunes (iTunes 6), but couldn't find how I would do anything to remedy this situation.
In iTunes the info summary tells me that they are MPEG 4 video files, yet they still don't not play as a video. I am able to hear but there is no video.
Also these titles don't show in the 'Videos' menu in my iPod. They are listed as 'Songs'. When i first purchased them they were listed in the 'Videos' menu, but ever since I connected my iPod to the computer with iTunes 4 they are not.
I have already made sure the Video Setting / TV Out is set to "OFF" or "ASK"...still doesn't work.
Any ideas??? Please HELP!!!!!

Ahhh... No wonder the confusion Nadav.
I bought the card 2nd hand from a guy on ebay with perfect feedback who owned it since late December, then traded up to a new Power Mac from the G5 he had it in. For it to work on the G5 he removed the tape that came on it from mac-geniuses. I then had to re-tape it for it to boot.
I trust that it worked for the previous owner - it does work when I run Tiger, just not on Leopard!?!

PLEASE HELP NEW IPOD IN TROUBLE

i had no trouble uploading songs or videos, but all of a sudden my music stopped playing and i couldn't do anything to fix this. i didn't drop the ipod or anything, the files show up, games work,everthyings there but the timer on the song stands still and no song will play. this ipod was only 4 days old? whats going on please help! it'n not paused either, the osngs just don't play!

Yehlena,
I am glad we could help, but your not done yet;) I think you should award King the solved points for informing you about the restoring feature.
One of the responsibilities of the original poster (sometimes referred to as OP) is to award points to the "solver" as well as the most helpful. The reason being, not only does it show how the problem was fixed, but it 5-10 points (depending on helpful or solved) to those who helped the most. I like to think of it as paying them back with Monopoly money. It doesn't count anywhere else, but here. The reason for these points (I believe) is to show a rough estimate someone has been helpful as well as reduce the number of slipshod responses (the idea that someone will put the extra effort to try solve/help the problem). It has become proper etiquette when posting in the forums to issue these post (my opinion). I am not an Apple host/moderator, nor do I have any authority/say in this forum. I am "just another brick in the wall". It's up to you; I just thought it was something worth mentioning.
Thanks,
Jon

Well, this is just guess but iPods are very ,uhm, protective about who can use what music, etc. Your fiend synched the pod to his/her computer to load the music that is what is causing the issue. I'd ask said friend to burn you a DVD of the playlist in question (not a back-up), wipe your pod on your computer, load the DVD ,and reinstall the music on to the pod via your computer. Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Chris
P.S. I say DVD because to get everything to work the music will be in AIFF format which takes up a lot of room. You could also break the play lists into more manageable sized chunks and use regualr CD's.

Please help me :( , ipod 5th gen 30 gb unrecognized , i swear big prize for one who have a solution for it

hello all
my name is Saray, I'm a 4th year Computer Engineering student, I'm from Spain and I often go to U.S.A I even had my eng course there last summer ...
Anyhow my problem is with my 5th generation 30gb ipod which I have exchanged it with a harmonica lol from my friend Anna . this ipod used to work from a month from now,
this girl has a Philips stereo which usually causes such problems to the ipods you connect them in it, and this ipod was connected in it and had the problem.I have looked all over the internet for any solution but didn't help , please would you help me ??
anyway the ipod's problem is as follows :
the cable I use is the one which came with my other 5th generation 8GB nano ipod , and everything works great with it , but when I connect my new ipod to my pc it says USB Device Not recognized and it doesn't even charge , only at the begening the ipod shows me the logo of charging for seconds and then it goes away
and I even tried connecting it to different Computers with different Operation Systems it showed me the same...
I even tried the disk mode and it didn't help nothing showed up
I noticed that when I connect it to a transformer ( My camera samsung wall charger with usb output of which 5 volts 550 mA " which wouldn't be much different
than the computer usb output values) so when I connect the new ipod with this wall charger it didn't charge at first but when I restarted the ipod it was charged from the charge .
then after alot of hard work ! I figured out something that when I put it to disk mode and then restart it while its hooked in the computer it charges from the pc
but still not recognized.
I use windows so it shows Unkown Device in the device manager.
I didn't try recovery mode because I didn't know how to do that.
please help me please !!! the one who helps will have a very hug prize I swear !
Thank you very much

Similar think happened to me. I had the Ipod (60gig) for about 24 hours and it completely crashed. The battery appeared to have drained in about 30 minutes resulting in a complete shut down. Nothing worked (called and talked to tech support) and I ended up having to send it back for replacement. When it status shows “shipped” it means that the box to return the defective item has shipped to you. You will need to return it to Apple and once they receive it back they will ship you a new one. The good thing is they the turn around is extremely fast.

Please help! Not able to set Video input Port(S-Video or Composite)on Linux

Hi
I am using JMF2.1.1e(Linux performance pack) for video capturing on Linux OS. I want to set video input port(S-Video or composite) through my application. I am using the following code:
     if ( dataSource != null )
          arrControls = dataSource.getControls ();
     if ( arrControls != null )
          nCount = arrControls.length;
     System.out.println("No. of Controls: " + nCount);
     for ( i = 0; i < nCount; i++ )
          if ( arrControls[i] == null )
               continue;
          if ( !(arrControls[i] instanceof Control) )
               continue;
          componentControl = ((Control)arrControls).getControlComponent ();
          System.out.println("ComponentControl : " + componentControl);
          if ( componentControl == null )
               continue;
But, i am getting No. of Controls: 0 (Zero). So i am not able to get any control component also. Rest of the application is working fine. Please help me solving this problem.
Thanks in advance.

To go a stage further.
Google run a Jabber server for their service.
Jabber apps (those that can) use a Protocol called Jingle to make the A/V connections.
Google's version is not even that compatible with other Jabber apps. (See Here)
The Plug-in in the Google Install (Or the Standalone Web Browser Plug-in allow Browsers to access the GoogleTalk A/V side as does the Standalone PC app called GoogleTalk as well.
iChat uses a process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to connect to other iChat Users or to the AIM for PC app.
However this also works in any iChat to iChat Connection no matter if the Buddy List is an AIM Login based one, Jabber (including GoogleTalk) or A LAN based Bonjour Chat.
In you care this is not going to work.
Getting the Standalone (Intel only) Browser Plug-in and using the Chat option in the Google Mail Web page is probably the easiest option.
