Running with 30GB ipod

Can I use my 30GB ipod when running and working out?? I know that it is hard drive based so will running cause problems?

You'll probably be fine with it.
There's always a chance of a problem if you engage in really rigorous activity with a hard drive based iPod... but the chances are pretty good that nothing will happen during routine exercise.
Don't drop any freeweights on the iPod... that will surely cause a problem

  • Running with my IPOD

    Hey Guys
    I am sure this issue has come up before but I am posting since I can't find any answers:
    My IPOD freezes when I run a lot and I am unable to reboot it. The only way I can get it to work again is if I let the battery run oiut and then recharge it. Sometimes the IPOD will automatically start skipping songs, only playing about 15 seconds of erach before skipping to the next one. I had this problem with my last IPOD, used my warranty to have it replaced, only to have the same problem with my new IPOD. I find that if I hold the IPOD rather than clip it to my shorts it doesn't happen as much. With my last IPOD< it got so bad it would freeze even when I would only walk with it. Any suggestions???

    Is it a hard drive based iPod, or a flash based? If its a hard drive based iPod, you could be destroying the hard drive by running with it. If you plan to run with your iPod, best to get a flash based iPod, like a new Nano (2G) or Shuffle.

  • Volume control problem with 30GB iPod 3G, Universal Dock, and Apple Remote

    I just hooked up my 30GB iPod 3G to the Universal Doc and tried the my new Apple remote. The only buttons on the remote that work in controlling my iPod while on the dock are the play/pause and the skip forward and back buttons.
    For some reason the volume up and down buttons don't adjust the volume on my iPod while it's on the dock. Any ideas? Shouldn't the volume up and down work? Or do they only work on the newer iPods?
    Any info appreciated.

    btabz,
    Thanks for your response. No the iPod doesn't respond at all--the volume display doesn't come up or change.
    When I press the play/pause or either skip forward or back on the remote, the iPod, while on the dock, lights up and responds to the command as it should. But when I press volume up or down on the remote the iPod does not respond at all.
    According to Apple's store info on the remote, the volume up/down controls should work. I am wondering if maybe it doesn't work with the 3Gs for some reason. But if that is the case, Apple should indicate that. It is kind of frustrating to not be able to adjust the volume.
    Thanks,

  • Earlier Issue with 30Gb Ipod Video

    Hey, I have a 5th generation 30Gb Ipod video. I recently went out and bought a new 2.0 USB port for a PCI slot for my Ipod since I only had a 1.1 before that.
    Well my problem is, I had it plugged in last night and it had the do not disconnect screen on the ipod for about an hour, so I pulled it out without ejecting it, and later on it said that windows said that the device was not able to be identified and was malfunction try unplugging it and plugging it back in, I did that and it still would work, so I restarted my PC and got it to work, then about a hour later I was uploading some photos and it gave me the same message, so I just turned off my PC and went to bed as it was getting late.
    This morning when I woke up I thought maybe it was just the port so I unplugged and plugged it back into a different 2.0 port since I got 4 with that card I bought, I then left for school and came back to find that my Ipod is working like nothing happened since I changed it's port.
    I just want to know if I should pull out that warrenty card and get a new one or if that message was just because the one port could recognize something was there, but not able to tell what device it is.

  • Problem with 30gb iPod...

    Hello there. I hope someone can help me here. I dont really know what's wrong with my iPod. The sound coming out of the earphones is not balanced. The sound coming out of the left earphone is louder than the right. I already tried 4 different earphones but no luck. I already restored, reset the ipod using the ipod software.
    Please help me! Thanks!

    Will the warranty cover this? I dont think I did this by accident. Didnt misused it (as a matter of fact I havent removed the protector, had this for almost 5 months). It's stored in a hard case. I hope apple can help me with this

  • Trouble with 30GB ipod w/ video and trouble with itunes 7

    here's the story: i just got a new ipod (the 30 GB with video). i got tired of my little shuffle with no screen.
    so, i put my whole itunes library onto the ipod and everything was working fine. i loved it. then, i deleted some items from my itunes library on my laptop because it was taking up needed space on my hard drive, i figured this was fine, since i still have it on my ipod, and i can watch/listen to them anytime i want. But, when i went back later to put some new stuff on my ipod, 2 shows and 2 of my favorite podcast episodes were deleted from the ipod that i had put on before!
    -i checked the manual, it said that i need to be in the manual mode instead of itunes/ipod automatically updating the ipod's library. i was transferring stuff manually, but it still got rid of some stuff on it's own.
    the music was all still there, but a tv show episode, and 2 of my favorite video podcast episodes were deleted.
    -Will this always be a problem everytime I hook it up to my laptop and want to add new stuff to my ipod? I don't even have half of the ipod filled. it says that I have 20Gb of free space.
    i want to be able to keep stuff on my ipod that i will delete from my itunes library/hard drive. such as movies, tv shows, my favorite video podcast episodes. But at the same time, I want to be able to add new stuff. Is this Possible?? please help! is the ipod/itunes programmed to delete everything from the ipod that is not in the itunes library????

    I figured it out myself: i chose the option manage manually.

  • Is it possible to get intermediate info while running with the Ipod Nano 6th gen?

    In the store I was told that the Ipod Nano 6th gen would keep me informed every 500m or every km about my distance, average speed etc.
    The Ipod only tells me AFTER the run what my average speed etc was. Not during my run. Is there a possibility to get this info during my run? The store does not know the answer.

    Do you have the Spoken Feedback setting set to On under Settings -> Fitness on the iPod?

  • Running with iPod?

    I have a 4g iPod and I am training for a marathon. Can I run with my iPod, or is it not shock resistant. Does it matter if its in a case on my arm, in my pocket or in my hand?
    Thanks

    I strongly urge runners and others who exercise
    vigorously to not use anything but a RAM based
    mp3 player like the shuffle or Nano. Hard drives are
    less prone to damage from movement than they were 10
    years ago but they are still fragile. Even a smooth
    runner might stumble, run into someone, or drop the
    iPod which could be enough to damage the platter.
    If I was to run with it in a protective case, would that be okay, or is the shock the main problem?

  • Running with iPod: Is it okay?

    The main reason I got an iPod was so I could go jogging with it. I recently got a new ipod video, and have now heard that it might not be a good idea to go jogging with it. Is it okay to run with an iPod as long as I use an armband?

    Sorry, I was a bit lazy when I posted that. Just found the "Search Discussions" feature and found that many other have had the same question.
