Problems with TED video podcast in ipod classic 80gb

I have a lot of TED video podcast on my itunes on PC but i can't listen and view it on my ipod, i've red somewhere that video podcast with 46kbps are no longer supported by ipod classic? is that right?
there are any solutions?
please help me, i'm really interested in it

Yes, I'm still stuck too.
Some of my TED videos showed up in iTunes under "movies" when I migrated to a new computer; likely iTunes found the native files. These movies play fine but re-subscribing to the TED video podcast and trying to play them under "podcasts" on my iPod Classic (120 gb), they still won't play (screen goes black for about 1 sec, then it skips to the next podcast...repeat until entire list is done).
I saw someone post about a "convert to iPod", but I can't find that option in iTunes (windows 8, iTunes 11)
Thoughts?

Video Podcast on iPod Classic vs iPhone 4

Some video podcasts will not load onto my iPod classic but WILL on my iPhone 4. I'm using iTunes 10 on a macbook. i read on this forum about converting video podcasts to iPod format, and that it doesn't always work. I'm just trying to find out why there is a difference between the iPod and the iPhone.
THANKS

MORE INFO:
I have also noticed that of the 4 video podcasts I have tried to download on my iPod classic, the only one that was successful had a bit rate, total bit rate, and size in MB that was approx double of what the other three had. I also have, since my last post, tried to convert the podcasts to an " iPod version" from the ADVANCED drop down menu in the iTunes toolbar, but it made no difference.
Any help would be appreciated!

Unable to sync video podcast to ipod classic

I have subscribed to a video podcast "Walk in the Word". The very first one sync'd to my ipod. Ever since, they download to my itunes library just fine, but they will not sync to my ipod classic 160gb. I have talked to tech support and have deleted the podcasts and redownloaded. Refreshed the podcasts, deauthorized and reauthorized and have up to date software. Still won't sync. I have gone into the podcast inquiry to "report a concern", perhaps there is an encoding issue with
the podcast producer. Does anybody have any suggestions that may help? Thank you

I think I may have found the problem. Apparently, ITunes cannot sync HD podcasts. Apple...why???

Problem with uploading video to my ipod nano 5g

I tried to upload video on my iPod though itunes, but when i am doing it, itunes is not responding for a while and then shows an error: ""The iPod "iPod Artur" cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found". What should i do to upload video on my ipod?
P.S. The video file is converted in mp4 format.

I tried to do everything what was written in that link, but it didn't worked. Also i tried to connect my Ipod to my friends computer, and there everything was ok, so i suppose that problem is in my laptop, but not in Ipod. I have Acer Aspire 3680 laptop with Windows XP on it. Is it possible that my computer is to old to work with Ipod, or may be problem is in OS (my friends PC is running windows 7 OS). I tried to sync the podcast and pictures, and it didn't worked either. The only thing that i can sync is the music. I will be very thankful if you will help me to solve this problem!

Trying to add video podcasts to iPod Classic

I'm trying to add video podcasts to my iPod Classic 160GB. I can see them in the podcast summary page get added in the sync, but I can not find them on my iPod. I have 5 TV shows added to it and can find them under Videos but when I add the video podcasts they do not show up in the Podcasts section. Is there something I can do?

They should appear under Podcasts if they successfully synced over to the device. I assume you didn't see any error messages when you synced these video podcasts over to your device?
To be sure, reset sync warnings on the iPod by right->clicking on it under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes and choosing Reset Warnings. Then resync the iPod.

Problems with abc video podcast

I'm not sure what's causing this but none of the Abc news video podcast will play in iTunes on my Mac (10.4.4).
If I load the files in Mplayer they work, with a bit of grey pixels here and there.
The podcasts works just fine in iTunes on a windows machine
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=115624496

Found the problem.
Had a quicktime plugin that was causing the hiccup.
Be careful if you're using the "3ivx D4 4.5.1 for OSX".
I just removed it, and now everything is fine.

Apple Podcast crashes iPod Classic

I've had a few problems with some video podcasts not working properly but I've normally put them down to third party software generating the podcast not being configured correctly and creating a corrupted video file. However my recent issue has brought new concern as to what is going on with my iPod classic.
The recent Apple Quick Tip of the Week - Tip 45: Searching the Dictionary, causes my iPod classic to reset. It's not just a occasional problem but happens everytime I run that file and exactly at the same spot each time.
iPod Classic configuration:
160GB version
Serial Number: 8M7379DXYMX
Model: MB150
Version: 1.1.1 Mac
Previously seen issues with cut outs and hangs with video podcasts from NAPP, e.g. Photoshop TV and PS Killer Tips. This is the first time a podcast has caused the iPod to completely reset though.

For reference: The video podcast I was having problems with now displays correctly after Apple posted the 1.1.2 update for the iPod Classic.
Perhaps that's why Apple posted the update!
You are probably correct when you suggest that "third party software generating the podcast not being configured correctly and creating a corrupted video file" has something to do with it. Maybe the people who create the Apple Quick Tip of the Week haven't checked to make sure what they do actually works.
I had a video (converted by iTunes for the iPod) that caused my iPod 160GB to crash, twice. Since that video was not that important to me, I removed it and it will not go back on regardless of software updates. These things happen. However, to someone like me who grew up with vinyl records, the iPod is fantastic!

Why won't my ipod classic 80gb no longer synch after latest itune version updates

Why will my ipod classic 80 g ipod no longer synch after upgrading my itunes? I went from the very user freinly itunes from a few years back to the latest versions and have been having these problems.
Doesn't synch at all.
Synchs only partial playlists selected.
If it synchs it leaves out multiple tracks.
I mainly use my ipod for listening to Audio books that I have ripped unto mp3's myself. It also won't do my music or podcasts.

I have the same problem with windows 7 and msy ipod classic will not sync...have no access to thousands of songs and playlists..Help!!

Weird problems with ipod classic 80gb, hdd's gone?

Hi, hope u could help me.
Excuse my not fluent english, I'm not british/american so I will try to make myself as clear as possible. Thanks
First of all, got iPod classic 80gb, systems Vista/XP, was trying to cope with this problem on both computers, but ran out of ideas, so decided to make a topic on Apple forum.
Few days ago my iPod was working fine, then I put some stuff on it (put them in 'Notes', using iPod as a pendrive) and weird things started to happen. Maybe it has something to do with it, don't know, but will try to write as many details as possible.
When I connect my iPod to the computer (i tried on 3 computers), every time my Windows doesn't recognize an iPod (computer sees something has been connected, but doesn't see what). So if I go to 'Computer' I even do not see an iPod disc.
I can't open iTunes when iPod is connected, but once I disconnect my iPod, iTunes opens immediately. If I open iTunes before connecting an iPod, iTunes works fine but it can't see an iPod as well. (I used an option with checking connection with iPod but it sees nothing unfortunetely).
Later, when I want to disconnect my iPod using 'safe remove hardware' it doesn't work, just hangs.. so I have to unplug my iPod and once I do it, it immediately appears 'USB xxxxx now can be disconnect safely' (something like that, very similiar to the iTunes case).
When I disconnect my iPod, it just hangs showing 'Connected, do not disconnect', sth like that, so I got to restart it and then works fine.
My iPod works fine without connecting to the computer, everything is just fine.
Any ideas? Already tried to reset settings on iPod and tried to re-install iTunes, but I guess problems lays somewhere beetween iPod and computer which doesn't see my iPod.. Also I tried to re-install USB slots/drivers, didn't help.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Robert.

When I had Windows XP on a Lenovo, I also had a U2 20Gb iPod...The problem was, believe it or not, the battery! I took it to ipodrepair in Toronto, and they said there was some servo or switch that was blown. It couldn't charge properly and when it was connected to the computer, it went into limbo - not able to charge, not able to load the ipod.
So, check with repair if you can...It may be the battery, even on a new one!
Good Luck!

My apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. can't restore.

my apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. the only way to unfreeze it is by detatching the ipod or resetting with menu/centre (until it loads up again, where it immediately unfreezes and comes up with a load of messages saying "cannot read iPod" and when i try and restore it by pressing menu/centre button while it's plugged in, it says "cannot restore as it is being used by another program" or "error 1415". Any ideas how to sort this out? hope i haven't majorly screwed it up. thanks.

Sorted it out.

Ipod Classic 80gb won´t work with apple universal dock and remote

I own 2 ipods a 5th generation 60gb and an ipod classic 60gb. I've just bought an apple universal dock with remote and the original apple component and composite AV cables. I connected the universal dock to my TV via the composite cable, with my ipod 5th gen I can watch videos on the TV and control the ipod with the apple remote but when I connect my ipod classic to the universal dock it will charge but I can´t get any video out or control the ipod with the remote. It's as if the ipod classic doesn't recognize the universal dock and it keeps showing the connect the video accessory screen, even when i tried using the apple component AV cable. I dont think the problem is with the universal dock because it works fine with my Ipod video 60gb, but with my Ipod Classic 80gb the remote control and video out won't work at all, i can´t even control the playback of audio playlists. Does anyone know why that is happenning? Please help me!

I have the Classic 80gb also...same probem. I retuned the Apple Universal Dock and purchased one that was half the price. Pluged it in and it works perfectly! So my advice would be to save some money and get products that work.

IPod Classic 80Gb intermittent problems

My iPod Classic 80Gb is starting to become a bit tempremental especially when used in the car but also at home although right now it is playing away fine through my hi-fi system. What happens is that seemingly at random the Apple logo appears on the screen and the device resets itself which is quite annoying when you're driving along. This iPod is now 6 years old and has the original battery and so the problems I am having might be due to the battery getting old.
In the car I am playing it through a Parrot MKi9200 bluetooth car kit http://www.parrot.com/uk/products/hands-free-car-kits/parrot-mki9200/ which connects using the 30 pin connector although I could also use the 3.5mm jack but that doesn't display the song being played on the small LCD screen. At home I am playing it mostly through the 3.5mm jack to RCA (phono) into the aux input on my amplifier.
My iPod is synced with iTunes quite often as I'm always adding more music and the battery seems generally to be well topped up. There are times when I've been on a long car journey when the iPod obviously stops because the battery has gone too low but the majority of journeys in the car are short ones around town when the battery isn't getting too low. When the battery has gone too low it takes a while to get the iPod going again as the battery has to be charged before anything happens, whereas these freezes when the Apple screen comes up are short things which the iPod recovers from fairly quickly.
What I am trying to work out is if a new battery would solve the problems I am having or whether there might be something else needing replaced as well. If it was just the battery then I'd probably replace it but if it is more than that then I'd rather put the money I'd spend repairing it into a new iPod. Having said that I've heard that you can put a solid state hard drive in an iPod and I'm wondering if Apple will be releasing an iPod with a large ss hard drive as I think I read the current iPod Classic was to be the last in the line.

Hi Snoopyathome.
You have the inccorect cable for the classic 80/160. The cable you have is described on this link: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=B5F 4A608&fnode=home/shopipod/ipod_accessories/cablesdocks&nplm=M9765G/B .
This is the incorrect cable for the classic. The cable you purchased plugs into the earphone jack and can be used with previous versions of the iopd, including "ipod with color Display" and "ipod with video". This exclused the classic 80 and classic 160.
The proper cable can be found at this link: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=4D7 9909E&fnode=home/shopipod/ipod_accessories/cablesdocks&nplm=MB129LL/A .
When I went to the ipod store here they tried to sell me that cable you purchased. Luckily, I had already been to the website to look for info about connections. I use the mb129ll/a with my classic 80 and it works perfectly.
The mb129ll/a also works with previous ipods listed at the bottom of the page on the link I place here.
Good luck to you.

SEVERE, MAJOR Problems with ITunes Video Playback on 64-bit Win7

So I got a new rig (ASUS G74SX running 64-bit Win7 Home Prem) after I figured my nearly 5-year old HP Pav dv9500t running 32-bit Vista Home Prem had put in good years of work. In using ITunes on the Vista system, I never really saw problems with its player on video podcasts.
Completely different story on the Win7 machine. Aside from all the other problems noted with ITunes itself (not the player) in this forum, there is this:
1. When something like UAC occurs, the video clip runs in the player, but the video is frozen (like a photographic still) while the audio continues to run on normally. Workaround: minimize then restore the player window, then the video part of playback returns. Of course that gets annoying doing that multiple times after a while.
2. With one video podcast (for example, The Young Turks podcasts), while the audio again continues normally, the video track lags unbelievably. The video appears in slow motion. The viewer risks a headache from vertigo if the viewer continues watching slow motion video unmatched with the normal audio.
At first I considered the possiblity that it was related to a 5400 rpm hard disk drive, which came with the new machine and I would not have normally have not bought myself, but I had someone buying it for me (my HP system only had 7200 rpm drives...what is ASUS thinking in letting Best Buy do a performance markdown?). Then I played that video podcast with VLC media player, and it absolutely had NO problem keeping up with the video and audio. (Another thing to like and prefer with this player is that you can keep the window on top.)
Seriously, the programming group at ITunes should be ashamed and maybe every member of its group should consider getting another day job. With each revision, ITunes seems to get worse.

My installation of version 10.6.x of ITunes does not have QuickTime.
As of version 10.5 of ITunes, QuickTime is no longer apparently bundled with ITunes, which clearly has its own player. In addition, I have used a minimal install of ITunes. This eliminates the install of the bug-ridden Bonjour service, which was filling up Windows event logs needlessly and crashing from time to time anyway.
Now although I installed ITunes only a few days ago in this new laptop, I did find ITunes in the Programs & Features page and clicked Repair. After the "repair," I played the video revealing the flaws of the ITunes player, and the playback problems were still there. I used the other media player and it played flawlessly.
