PLEASE help: video on new iPod Classic 160gb

Hi all,
I would be really grateful if someone could help me. I was lucky enough to receive a shiny black 160gb iPod Classic for Xmas to replace my old 3rd Gen one.
However I'm having a bit of trouble with videos. I have downloaded some video podcasts via iTunes store that have synced to my pod and play fine. However I have just downloaded some TV shows from the internet - they play in iTunes and are listed in my iPod under"My Devices" but I just can't find them on the pod.
Any ideas????

Hiya and thanks for your respose!!
I downloaded them from a torrent site but they did say they were specifically formatted for iPod use - the file format is MPEG4.
However, I've also tried downloading a video podcast from directly from iTunes (again in MPEG4 format) that hasn't synced to my pod either.
It seems the only video I've managed to sync is a podcast I downloaded about a year ago and two music videos I had from importing CD's.
Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

[PLEASE HELP!] Problems with iPod Classic 160GB.

Okay, I was about to sync my iPod Classic 160GB and go to bed. I plugged it in and everything was good. I am not sure if it was syncing yet, but it fell off the cord because my HP laptop moved. I wasn't worried at the time, The apple screen came up so I pressed Middle Button+Menu to reset it, then I plugged it back in. When I plugged it back in it said I had to format the drive in G.. The screen of the iPod said Connected Eject before disconnecting and had the circle arrows like when it is loading. It seems to be working fine when I unplug it.
But anyways, When I unplugged it a second time (I did click Disconnect in the toolbar on the actual device, not in iTunes) it didn't work again, and it brought up the grey apple screen again, then went to the language. so I plugged it back in. Then I said OK to the reformat. I clicked Default settings to the format and left the Volume Label blank because I don't know what that is...
It said WARNING: Formatting your iPod will delete all files on it, or something along the lines of that. so, I said okay, I'll just resync it, just get on the reformat. When I clicked format it said that it couldn't format my iPod... So, once again, I disconnected it, ejecting from the actual device in the toolbar, and it was absolutely cleared asking me for the Language. It keeps doing this every time I plug it in, and even when I switch USB slots. it wont read into my iTunes either.
I am really sad, and please answer because my iPod is basically my life, this is my worst nightmare come true.
PLEASE ANSWER QUICK, Thanks...

I have a new iPod Classic 160Gb. i have an iTunes Account, it recognizes my device but will not sync my library of music to my new iPod. What do I need to do?

I have a new ipod Classic 160GB. I already have an Itunes account. The Itunes account recognizes my device but will not sync my library to this new device.
What do I need to do?

Hi Amy2250,
Have you tried to sync music to the iPod via the iPod subdirectory of iTunes? To do this, plug your iPod into your computer, go into iTunes, click on the iPod tab, click on 'Music' in the iPod subdirectory and select whether you want to sync your whole iTunes library or just selected songs and press sync.
Alternatively, have you tried manually transferring music onto the iPod using the 'drag and drop' method? To do that, go into iTunes with your iPod connected, click on the iPod tab, in the iTunes iPod Classic subdirectory click on the 'Summary' tab, then tick the box saying 'Manually manage music' and click save. Then, in the same subdirectory click on the 'On this iPod' tab and click on Music. Then, select the songs you want to transfer either in Finder or Windows Explorer, select the songs you want to copy to the iPod and drag them to the blank list in the 'On this iPod' area of iTunes you just opened.
Good luck,

New Ipod Classic 160Gb not recognising songs in Itunes library

I have just purchased a new Ipod Classic. There are 800 songs in my Itunes library that are not syncing to the new Ipod. There were no problems with my old Ipod 5th Gen.
The songs that are not syncing are songs that I have loaded into Itunes from my own CDs.
Does anybody know why or how to fix this problem.
I am not manually syncing, I have told Itunes that I want to sync all songs with this new Ipod.

This is Apple's brilliant new marketing scheme: we'll make all our new iPods NON compatible with older OSX's - then, oh my god! People will be forced to pay for an OS upgrade. Just another example of how Apple loooves to wow us with their sleek functioning products, then hit a us with a curveball (machines die the day your warranty is up, items not compatible) and hope we will still be wowed by their products. My iPod died after a hearty 2 years of service (NOT long enough after having spent $300 on it), I go out to buy a new itouch, and what do you know - not compatible with my itunes. Now cannot get my 5000 songs onto my portable music player. Wish I could use a Zune.

Brand new iPod touch, won't regognize on my mac book pro please help!, brand new iPod touch, won't regognize on my mac book pro please help!

I recently bought I new iPod Touch 32gb, and It won't regognize on my computer (Mac Book Pro) I had the same problem with my previous touch but I shrugged it off as old age. any suggestions on what to do?

Well since it has not been charging on multiple computers i would take a look at replacing the usb cable. Something could not be connecting right or just needs to be replaced. If this has already been done it is starting to sound like a battery issue with the ipod.
Hope this helps!!

PLEASE HELP video on new itunes 6.0 ! ! !

I Have been trying to drag and drop most of the videos in my "my videos" folder to itunes in preparation for the 5th gen. ipod. Most of them work, but some here and there will say "error -2048 this file is not a movie file" when I try to open it with quicktime, which of course, if you can open it w/ quicktime itunes will accept it.
ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS KIND OF PROBLEM?
IF SO, DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A WAY TO REFORMAT A VIDEO FILE TO QUICKTIME FORMAT?

They are most likely the wrong size, and wong format for iTunes/iPod.
Some video conversion software will help. Im not a Windows user, but im sure one will reply soon with a few tips on software.
Quicktime Pro should do the job.

TS1372 I have an ipod classic 160gb have already tried all the steps with no success. I have just bought this ipod and have had it for less than a week before this happened. what is wrong with my ipod and how can i fix it?

brand new ipod classic 160gb will not restore. have tried all steps with no fix. Also tried steps on a different computer with same results. anu help?

if you own a mac try to re format the disc to journal.
If you are on a windows like me, try to reformat the disc to NTFS. Then it will display that you need to restore as the ipod is in recovery mode. It restored with success. and voila, brand new working ipod.

Playlist on iPod Classic 160GB are empty

Something strange is happening on my brand new iPod Classic 160GB. I followed the instruction to install and sync my iPod with the newest iTunes 11.0.2.26 on market. The sync went all fine, but when I want to choose a playlist, for example the playlist "Hip-Hop" on my iPod it's shown all empty (0 songs)! When I'm searching a song on the iPod which it must be listed in this playlist, the song is found without a problem. It seems that all songs are synchronized correctly, but there is a bug with the visualization of some playlists. I note: Not all playlists are affected from this problem and on the iTunes in the chapter "songs on iPod" the songs are all listed correctly.
I tried to make a restore, but the problem is still the same. A sync from one playlist (by choosing manually the playlist) it hasn't helped as well.
Anyone have some suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help ;-).

I found the problem !!! I had many smart playlist with a rule that was -> "Album - is - "empty"". It seems that the new iTunes this kind of "empty rule" would not accept. I had to add a new rule -> "Playlist - is - Music". Now it shows all the songs on the iPod.
It seems to be an Apple Bug on iTunes. I hope they can resolve this problem.

My ipod classic 160gb will be playing fine then it sometimes freezes up or start shuffling through the songs not playing at all. After i reset it works ok for a while then same thing. Bought this so i could control through my steering wheel/radio.

I sure hope someone can help me with these ipod classic 160gb issues.
My ipod classic 160gb will be playing fine and then freeze up (unable to move around in it at all) and i have to reset it. This happens constantly whether in my car or when i listen at work. After i reset it works ok for a while then eventually requires another reset.
Another problem is that it will be playing fine and then start shuffling through songs without playing them. The songs that get shuffled work fine in the itunes program but not on the device. A reset does not correct the problem with these particular songs.
Also, sometimes when it is working and not freezing up or shuffling through, it will appear that a song is playing (in fact it says "now playing"), the song titlte is scrolling, but the song progression bar does not move. The count up in front of the bar stays at 0:00, and the count down at the end of the bar stays at the song length minutes not counting down. After I reset, it works fine and all the songs will play.
The reason I got this thing was because i can control it through my steering wheel/radio while i'm driving. I previously had a Zune 80gb which i'm glad I held on to. I have over 6600 songs (so I'm obviously a serious music listener and obviously frustrated), but only about 10 songs were downloaded through itunes, the rest I either ripped or downloaded from other site. From what i've been reading it sounds like there's a lot of ipod owners out there experiencing similar problems. Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve these issues for me and everyone else? I got my first iphone 8 months ago, then the ipod and was considering an ipad. But in light of my ipod issues.....
I hope someone can help me and convince me it wasn't a mistake to go Apple! Thanks!!

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

Can't reset new ipod classic

I've just bought a brand new ipod classic 160Gb and managed to get it to sync with iTunes and download all my music. However after I disconnected it from my pc the Apple logo screen appeared. I then tried to reset it by pressing the centre button and menu as I've done many times before with my old ipod classic 80Gb. All this does is get the Apple logo to reappear but it never gets to a point where the start menu appears.
I've used this reference to put the ipod into disk mode http://http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363 and then was able to access the hard disk in Windows and see that there were files on the ipod. I left it attached to the pc until it was fully charged. Afterwards when I managed to exit disk mode the problem hadn't been solved.
Is there anything I could do in disk mode to resolve what is going wrong? The article above doesn't say anything about what you do once you are in disk mode.

Hey basilfaulty,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Looks like the iPod does not start up past the Apple logo. This article explains what you can do after you have tried Disk Mode.
iPod only shows an Apple logo and doesn't start up
