Problem with iPod Video (30gb) since update

Hi all.
I, today have had a slight problem with the iPod updater on my iPod Video. I have installed the newest version of itunes (6.0.2 I think), which prompted me to install the newest iPod updater with it, I downloaded that and installed it. After installing I ran the updater, it began to finish the installation and my computer froze (I'm using a new hard drive in my computer and found out thats the problem). My iPod, now, when I turn it on has a blank white screen, I've tried the resetting method (toggle hold, then hold menu and select 6 - 10 seconds) and the light goes away, the ipod beeps 3 times and the white screen comes back. Can anybody please help me? I have tried running the installer again and it just freezes, and when the iPod is plugged into the pc itunes doesn't start, how I had it configured.
Please help!!
Apreciated - Sam.
* I have also browsed the whole website thoroughly and found nothing. I have also tried google, and found nothing relating to my problem *

I am leaving soon on a trip and would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks

  • Many Problems With Ipod Video--Corrupt Hard Drive?

    Hello,
    I got this iPod 30 GB the christmas of 2005. Ever since a few weeks ago, my iPod started giving me my corrupt messages, so then, I kept restoring and it was fine. This again happened to me recently and haven't resolved it yet. So here is my story:
    I did the 5R's = Nothing
    I renamed it later in the alphabet = Nothing.
    I also must add that I have plugged it in and when I go to 'my computer' to try and format like others said, it freezes; on the 'my computer' & 'iTunes'. I really hope you guys can help me.
    I also noticed when I was looking at the about section on my iPod, it says my capacity is like 27.8 GB and available is 10.4 GB, so I don't know if that will help.
    I really don't want to buy a new one and hopefully you guys can help me out. Thanks in advance.

    No problem. Have you tried this iPod on another computer?
    Also, while everything else is disconnected, connect your iPod and force it into disk mode. If your computer can see it, reformat your iPod (FAT32, not a quick format) and then give it a drive letter of M or P.
    Disconnect the iPod and reload the USB Driver:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
    Pay attention to the last item in the article, and reload the USB driver even if no new ones are available for your computer.
    Reconnect your iPod and see if you can Restore it.

  • Syncing/Charging Problem with iPod Video 5G

    I am experiencing a problem with my iPod Video 5G. When pressing the center button of the device, the apple logo appears. But before it completely starts up, it dies, leaving the screen with a faint apple logo and some lines. When I plug the iPod into my PC, a screen is displayed saying "Please Wait, Very Low battery." After a while, it restarts, and fully comes on, displaying the "Do Not Remove" screen. But a message shows up saying "No Battery Power Remains. Connect iPod to Computer". However, the battery meter in the top right hand corner shows a a completely charged battery. Also, it starts to beep. The iPod briefly shows up in iTunes, but then it shuts off, displaying a "very low battery" message again, and an error message comes up in iTunes. This whole process keeps repeating over again. This all came up out of no where, as I had used the iPod a few hours before this started. I have no idea what's wrong with it. Could it be the battery? Or the hard drive? I would appreciate any help greatly.

  • Problem with iPod video playback

    I have a problem with some of my movies' playbacks on my Nano 5g. Though working perfectly fine on both my computer, and my iPod video, on my Nano some videos are slightly cut off on the right of the screen, I'm missing about 10% of the video due to the cut off. Though technically I should still be able to watch the movies fine, it niggles me and inhibits my full enjoyment of the videos. Is there any way I can crop or rescale the movie so it will fit properly on my screen? Thanks
    (I have already tried both wide screen and scale to screen size on the iPod)

    Go to the video settings (iPod nano) and turn off fit to screen.

  • Crazy upload problem with Ipod Video

    I have an Ipod Video 60gb that I've had no trouble with for a month. Suddenly, when I connect with Itunes to upload music, Itunes identifies the Ipod as having 190gb with 130-150gb already full. This is despite the fact that I've just restored my operating system on the Ipod and wiped it clean with Ipod Updater (6-28-06). Another interesting this is that after restoring the operating system, Itunes still knows the name of the Ipod and has a song list already attributed to it (on the Ipod view in Itunes) as if I've already got music on there. When I restored with Ipod Updater, it also thought I had 190gb. Itunes does the sync process and finishes normally, but there are no songs on the Ipod when it finishes. It's almost like there's two partitions on the Ipod and I can only see one of them. Crazy! Any thoughts?

    Go to the video settings (iPod nano) and turn off fit to screen.

  • Download problem with iPod Touch January software update

    Hi, some problems with the software update. Please advise
    - Ipod Touch user from australia
    - went for holidays in malaysia for a while and purchased the software update via itunes australia
    - The download did not start but i was charged $25AUD
    - Returned to australia, attempted the download again but failed because itunes stated that the update has already been downloaded.
    - Attempted to update the iPod Touch by clicking on "Check for Update" but software has already been updated to the current version (1.1.3).
    - The new applications did not appear on iPod Touch.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi pdra05,
    Do you manually manage your music?
    iTunes has to sync to unlock the January software, manually manage music has to be deselected.
    Make sure your content on your ipod is backed up before sync.

  • Jogging with ipod/video 30gb

    Does anyone know if it's harmful to the ipod/video GB if you jog with it?
    mac os 10   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Well, iPods with video use hard drives to store the data, which use moving parts. While it probably wouldn't hurt to jog with it, over time you may wear down the HDD.

  • Problems with apps and photos since updated new iTunes

    Hi all.
    I updated itunes and instaleed it on both my computer and my iphone. Since then, I cannot purchase apps, update them or sync them with my mac. My id and password are ok, but the apps are stuck in mid process and I cannot use them. If that wasn't enough, the iphone shows that all my photos are gone although itune shows 11.5 gb of "other" and I can't sync photos from iphoto to iphone. ideas anyone?

    Do not install MacKeeper.
    Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.
    Determine if the same problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

  • Sync problem with iPod Video U2

    Since upgrading to 7.5, iTunes doesn't sync my iPod anymore: as soon as I plug my iPod, iTunes recognizes it, but there is no sync because iPod immediately disconnects. I cannot choose 'manual sync' or 'enable disk mode' because this happens after very few seconds. Why???

    Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and enable the iPod for disk use. From there you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • Problems with my Time Capsule since updated to Mountain Lion

    Since I have updated my MacBook Air (late 2010 model) to OS X Mountain Lion, I am experiencing problems connecting my Macbook Air to Time Capsule and experiencing problems in Time Machine copies to the Time Capsule:
    1.- When I turn on my computer, Time Machine starts working, taking a lot of time searching the backup disc (my Time Capsule), then appears an error message (Can not find the disk or it says that the Time Capsule is already in use);
    2.- After several attemps (restarting the computer and restarting the Time Capsule), sometimes Time Machine starts to work, but it shows that it has to copy approximatly 28 G. Also the copy is to slow (it only copied 500 Megabytes in two days).
    In the meanwhile the Time Capsule light is turned on (green) - so it seems the Time Capsule is working normally an the problem would be Time Machine.
    I would not like to restart everytime my Time Capsule or restart my computer in order to make Time Machine works. I would really appreciate help for solving this problem (I apologize for my so basic English).
    My Airport Utility Version is 6.1 (610.31)
    My Time Capsule Version: 7.6.1.
    My Computer: MacBook Air (late 2010)
    My System: OS X Mountain Lion (when I used OS X Lion all was working normal)
    Thanks in advance for your help !!!

    The first backup after an update will be quite slow (but shouldn't be anywhere near that slow).  And the searching on the backup disk will have to be repeated on every backup attempt until one completes normally.
    Connect to the TC via an Ethernet cable. 
    Also see the green box in #D2 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting.  Something there may help get back on track.
    (and your English is fine -- better than many who speak it natively, I'm sorry to say.)

  • Has anyone else had problems with severe dropped calls since updating to IOS 5.1?

    I have just updated my phone today and have had nothing but dropped calls.  I thought this update was supposed to make my AT&T connection better.  What's going on Apple????

    Ever since I updated to iOS 5.1 my connection has dropped down to what I was getting with my older iPhone 3g. With Apple eliminating the rollback option my feeling is that we are SOL until the powers to be determine that we are not (a) crazy (b) stupid or (c) unable to realize that the phones have always performed this way.
    All nthis grief for marginal, at best, benefits

  • I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.  It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.  I went to a apple store at Sout

    I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.
    It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.
    I went to a apple store at South Park, Charlotte NC,
    and found out the worst customer service (in my case)
    They don't have answers and don't understand about  "dont let any customer go away sad or mad"
    I explain to them that I did everything they said to fix the problem, even to dounload the iOS 6.1.3
    that was supposed to fix the problem.
    they said fix the problem in other phones but not in mine.
    So here I am with no wifi and bluetooth, with apple technicians and experts that don't know what to do with the problem that the sofware they developed cause in my iphone 4s.
    and the solution is for me to pay $199.00 US dollars for a problem that I did not cause.
    wich means to buy something else from apple to fix a problem that it is not my fault.
    Great! what a convenient solution.
    I would like to have an answer from you guys and see if someone there have a better answer for me that shows support, values and integrity as a grest company with solutions for your customers.
    Dont think that I want a new phone, I want mine fixed if is possible.
    Thank you very much and God Bless you!

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$
