Reactions I get when showing off my iPod Video

So far, everyone I have shown my new iPod to has been wowed. It seems even a lot of non Apple types act like they have heard of the new video iPod even before I show it to them. They all are anxious to see the picture and screen quality. Everyone I have shown if to thinks the screen image quality is incredible, which I agree it is.
The very next thing they ask is "Where is the sound?"
Although I know my iPod is mostly for my personal use, there needs to be some type of non obtrusive speaker that we can attach or keep attached to at least get some basic sound through w/o having to pull out the ear buds.
I'd like to see a super thin yet full size speaker unit that sits flush against the back of the iPod, yet that has a small base that the iPod connector locks into. With the thinness of the 30GB iPod, and even a similar thickness speaker, the whole assembly wouldn't be much thicker than my old iPod Photo.
The other thing across the board that is interesting is people's reaction to the $299 price point. Everyone seems to think that is a good price, and are frankly surprised it doesn't cost more!
Finally, they are amazed by it's capacity. My iPod Video right now has close to 1900 songs, 1800 photos, and 34 videos, 2 of which are full length films. Out of the 27.8GB total capacity, I am only using about 10GB, so I can more than double my current content, which at the level of stuff I have on it now, amazes people!
But.........
Yesterday I couldn't resist and took off the plastic film that was over the face of theiPod when I opened it. I quickly, in the same day, decided I didn't want to risk the screen getting badly scratched, so I put it in it's iPod sock, and took it to Staples, and got some PDA screen protectors and covered it right there in the store. Even with it being uncovered only for a couple hours, and barely touched, I ended up getting small scratches on the screen. My iPod Photo that I still need to sell after long usage still doesn't have a scratch on it. This new plastic scratches ridiculously easy!
But here's what kills me: these thin sheets of plastic film can take me using my fingernail to get the air bubbles out from underneath and still not scratch, but the surface of my iPod can't?? And what happened to this supeer strong polycarbonate that was developed for the iBook? Wouldn't that be tougher than this? Go even further back and try to remember the frosted clear plastic of the toilet seat iBook. That stuff never scratched.
I love my new iPod, but it is wrapped in screen protectors till I can get a case and a hard plastic screen protector for it.

I just bought my first video, U2's "City of Blinding Lights", from the iTunes store, & I can't believe how clear it really looks on the screen & of course it sounds great. I haven't showed it yet to anyone but my husband & he says it looks good.
I haven't taken the covering off of the front of my iPod since everyone says that it scratches so bad. I don't have anything on the back of it, so I'm trying to be careful not to get scratches on it. I haven't find a good case that fits it yet, but I've been looking.
I would like to put my concert clips from my computer on my iPod, but I really don't want to shell out $30 for Quicktime Pro. Anything else out there that's maybe free or at least cheaper?

I need to get the music off my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN onto either ITunes or in a music foldes on my new computer. Not all the music was purchased from Apple Itunes HOW DO I DO THIS WITHOUT LOOSING ALL MY MUSIC??

I have not had a computer for several years and I just got a new one. My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. Thank goodness I had it all on my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN. Now my problem is that I don't know how to get the music off my Ipod Nano onto my new computer!!! I was able to get the songs that I purchased thru ITunes by just authorizing my new computer. But I have alot more music that is on my Ipod nano that I can't put into my ITunes library. In fact, I can't even get my music into a file folder on my computer!! I really need help. I don't have any copies of the music anywhere else and some of it is hard to get. How do I get my music either into ITunes or into a file folder on my new computer or even if I could get my computer to recognize my Ipod and sync all the music into windows media or something like that. Every time I connect my IPod all that happens is that it tells me if I sync the IPod that it will replace all the music from my ITunes library on to my IPod. And I am guessing that means all my music on the IPod will be erased. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my songsters heart

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

Is there a way of getting your songs off your ipod?

Okay, so i have my ipod synced with a computer that i'll never see again. It was my ex boyfriends...is there a way of getting my songs off my ipod and on to my new computer or am i basically screwed if i want to add new songs?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

My 40gb can be played but Itunes says it is corrupt. I want to get the music off the Ipod onto my new computer, old computer died which had all the data on it (crap on my behalf I know) Anyone know how to do this?

My hard drive is corrupt even though I can listen to the music on the Ipod. Itunes says it is corrupt so obviously cannot read it properly. You can hear the disk reader resetting every few seconds preventing the data recovery.
We can see the track listings and playlists which we used for our wedding in 2005 and desperately want them back.
Sadly we lost the hard drive that had Itunes on it with all our music which we dont have a back up of.
Is there anyway it can be repaired and then we get the music off the Ipod and get it back on a new pc....and back it up of course?!!!

Getting my photos off my ipod

I need to get my photos off my ipod and onto another computer... How do I do that? How do I access them at all? I have almost a gig of photos on it but I have no idea how to access them.

hi dcopen
even if you cant do it by iTunes, its pretty simple to do it with the normal WinXP explorer, or from my PC, just tell ya somethin, this will only work if you set up iTunes to also copy full resolution photos into your iPod
here's what you gotta do
. set up windows to make it show all hidden files and folders
. go to my pc, right click your iPod, select explore, a new window will open
. you'll see some folders, like music, calendar, notes, etc, etc
. in that same window, double click photos
. now double click the folder "full resolution"
. you'll see a folder or several with year numbers
. copy all of them into your HD, preferibly into my docs, but not into my pictures folder
. now, explore in-depth those folders
. if you get into one you'll see now several folders numbered in order
. if you get into any you'll see your photos
. now just copy and paste all the photos into my pictures, it'll be tuff but its worth the effort
i dunno if you can use winzip, winrar or winace? to get the pics out of them, try it out, please leave a comment for results...

You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception being itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

Restore the music form your most recent hard drive backup.
You do make backups of your hard drive, right?
There has to be a way.
There's many ways. If you search the forums, you'll find dozens of solutions. You can use the search box in the upper right portion of the discussions website.
Other wise what's the point of the ** thing.
It's an audio player... not a backup device.
If you rely on your iPod as a backup of your music.. then you are misusing the device. It's not intended to be used in this manner. Apple makes it difficult to get music off the iPod as a method to hinder music piracy.

How do I get my music off my iPod Touch?

I had a virus and had to delete all the data on my computer. I am now setting iTunes up again and I tried to get my songs off my iPod touch. It transfered only a small portion of my music, only the songs I had purchased in the past few months or so. I am authorized on this computer, and the few songs I got by trying to sync the songs off my ipod. How do I get my music off my iPod so I can listen to it on my computer?

You'll likely need the assistance of some third party software to help you recover the non-iTunes purchased music. See this older thread for a few possibilities.

Transfer the iTunes folder from your old computer to your new computer. It's in your My Music >> iTunes folder. You'll probably need an external hard drive to do this. Make sure you upgrade the old and the new computers to the latest iTunes before transferring your music to the new machines.
