Search function on new ipod video

I bought a new ipod video from america and it had the ood box, but the brightness control and the new battery on the actual ipod. But there is no search function on it.
I have a friend who just received a new one back from apple with a brighter screen than the old one but without a search function or brightness control.
Does anyone know whats going on?

The search function is only on late 2006 model iPods.
If it's a latest model, the serial number's last three digits will be one of the following: V9K, V9P, V9M, V9R, V9L, V9N, V9Q, V9S, WU9, WUA, WUB, and WUC.

Trouble with a new iPod video (and a question)

My new iPod video is causing my computer to freeze when I connect it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. After that, it seemed to be going OK, but it only downloaded about 500m (of a total of 50g) before iTunes froze again and stopped downloading (of course the "Do Not Disconnect" icon on the iPod stayed there, but I had no choice but to disconnect it!).
All of my music is on an external Seagate hard drive coming in through one of my USB inputs. The iPod is on the other USB input. Could this be part of the problem? I don't think it's a drive letter issue since it did start downloading the last time before freezing.
Also, I'm wondering if I can use my old firewire cable from my previous iPod to speed up the transfer process once I actually get the thing working.
Any help would be much appreciated!

New ipod video not recognized by my computer at all

i have an ipod mini and itunes on my windows xp computer. i just bought the new ipod video that it is not recognized by my computer at all. i plug it in and the entire computer freezes. if i plug in my mini everything works fine.
i have tried updating/uninstalling my new ipod video. i am worried that if i uninstall itunes that i will lose my purchased music.
does anyone have any suggestions as to what i should do? does anyone have the same problem as me? i really want to start using my new ipod help please.

I assume you have installed the iPod driver, before connecting the 5G iPod. It is possible the device driver for the mini is different, and thus confusing your computer. The iPod driver is on the CD that came with your 5G iPod (iPod with Video)

Oh look a 'search' function on the iPod Touch, but not on our iPhones

Oh look a 'search' function on the iPod Touch, but not on our iPhones. And we had a search all along on our iPhones, except only in the Google Maps prog.
What the _?

the search in safari searches the net, not the 100's of addresses, calendar entries, emails and notes on the iPhone. Any smartphone or phone billed and priced as a smartphone should do this. There should be a sense of urgency to address this one would think. Josh, we have received maybe three software updates now.

About playing videos in my new iPod Video

How do I do to save videos in my new iPod video?
I know I have to save them through iTunes, I just don't know how, because every time I try, it says "sorry, iPod can't reproduce this video".
Do I need a special program or something? Please someone help me!

Here's a few links to look at for converters...

The New iPod Video !!!

I saw the specs for the new iPod Video
but they mentioned the 80g but not the 30g.
Is there any upgraded specs for the new 30g iPod
rather than the cheaper prize?
I love everything about the new 80g including the increased playtime of songs and videos but the
only thing that i don't like about tis the thickness..
So I hope that the new 30g iPod video has the
increased playtime to....
Does anyone know about the new specs for the
new 30g iPod Video??

I finished the test and I get five hours of video playback with the backlight completely dimmed, but its not an ideal setting to be watching movies. So I have the backlight 1/4 as bright. So I should get like 3.5 hours video playback. I called Apple and apparently the new 30GB iPod does have a longer battery life and 60% brighter screen. Would it be worth getting if you are able to return your iPod? I would say "No" especially if you have it open. The restocking fee is 10% of how much you paid for. I paid $288 for my iPod so I would have to pay $28.80 for the restocking fee. So if I did refund it and bought the new 30GB iPod for $249.00 plus the $19.85 tax and also add the restocking fee of $28.80 I would have paid $297.65 compared to the iPod I orignally bought for $288. I'm still going to go to the Apple Store tomorrow and see if I could return it through the Apple Store and see if the restocking fee might get waived, but I doubt it. Its still worth a try since I pass by it coming home from school.

NEW IPOD VIDEO DON'T PLAY VIDEOS!!!!!!! it's a trap!

I,
I just baught new Ipod VIDEO 30 GO; baught QUICKTIME PRO to transfer and read .AVI, Divx... on my IPOD.
I paid a QT PRO that doesn't read .AVI or WMP, results:
1/ White screen with bad sound or no sound
2/ Error -37 or -2048
3/ Oh miracle sometimes QT PRO reads, but with a so bad quality!!! The same AVI file being red perfectly with VLC, WindowsMP, Realplayer...
I tried all codecs upgrading... Nothing better
Well anyway I try to transfer this poor QT quality video (20 mns; 100 Mo) on my IPOD to see... 10% file in one hour, ok I let it all night: ERROR at 27%
So, M. Steve Jobs, why don't you tell us that this new IPOD is not a real video one!!!
If (by luck) anyone did a successfull transfer with an .AVI or WMP, tell everyone how you did this miracle, but my conclusion... we have been fu.... by a marketing product!

Neither the iPod nor QuickTime can read WMV files and Apple has never claimed that either product will. If you want to play WMV content on your iPod, you'll have to find a third-party product that can convert the WMV movie to a format the iPod can support (the supported formats are documented in the tech specs as well as many other places).
As to AVI, there is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. QuickTime supports some of the most basic codecs used in AVI, but an AVI movie may use many other codecs including one of the Indeo codecs or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
So there's probably absolutely nothing wrong with QuickTime nor with your iPod; you just need to learn the formats that it supports and get your movies converted to those formats.

New ipod video...please help!!!

Hi, I really hope someone will be able to help me with this question:
I just got a new iPod(video)30 gig and I was wondering if I can put my own movies/videos NOT purchased from iTunes on my iPod.
If yes, how can I do this?

Thank You.

Yes, you can.
We would have to know what video file types you want to put on the iPod.
However, please post in the Fifth Generation iPod forums for more info...

Locked on BLANK WHITE BRIGHT SCREEN. Brand Spankin' New iPod Video 30gb

Hi all,
I JUST opened my new iPod Video 30gb. When I hooked it up to sync and charge, its icon appeared in iTunes for just a second then disappeared. Then it locked on "do not remove" so I did a reset. Then I put in on the dock again and the same thing happened, it popped up in iTunes and my desktop for just a second then disappeared. So, I tried to reset it again. But now it will NOT reset. It is locked on a bright white blank screen. Any attempts at resetting and the iPod gives a weird chime and continues its blank bright screen. Now it will not do anything. It won't show up in iTunes, it won't show up on my Mac, it won't respond to ANY buttons on the click wheel or anywhere.
Geez, I just opened the freakin' box! And of course I can't find ANY phone numbers to get a quick answer from Apple. I've been with apple since 1984 and this is really intolerable.
PLEASE HELP!
Oh yeah, and i CANNOT restore because it can't link to my MAC

Judging by the info on your post, you're in the US. Apple's tech support number is 1-800-APL-CARE. They're open 9-9 Eastern time.
For the issue you're experiencing:
Hold down menu & select until you hear the beeping.
As soon as it beeps, hold down select and play/pause for about 10 seconds or so (it may or may not beep again).
See if you can restore it now.
If not, call Apple for tech support.
Hope this helps

Transferring my music from an old ipod to a new ipod Video

I have just bought a new ipod video for my son who has an old ipod - how can I register his new ipod when one is already on my profile and how then do i get my music onto my new ipod from my old ipod profile
many thanks
paul

The way I do it if all of my items are on my iPod and not in my library is make sure that the old iPod is connected via USB or Firewire. Go into your Windows Explorer and the iPod should be recognized as a drive letter. Click the pulldown menu "Tools", "Folder Options" and then click on the "View" tab. Under "Hidden files and folders", check "Show hidden files and folders." click OK and then click on your iPod folder. You should see a "iPod_Control" folder. Take that folder and copy and paste the entire contents somewhere to your hard drive. Make sure you make a subfolder prior to such as "iPod Backup." Once that is done, in iTunes navigate to File, Add Folder to Library. It will bring all of your music into your iTunes library and begin to re-tag all of the music (you need to be connected to the Internet). From there, you can unplug the old iPod and plug your new iPod in. Drag and drop from your library to your new iPod and Voila!

Battery on brand new Ipod Video

I’m looking for advice to assess the quality of my Ipod battery.
I bought a new 30GB video Ipod 2 weeks ago. During the first couple days I noticed that the battery indicator turned red rather quick, so I decided to apply the following battery test:
I fully charged the battery and then played continuous music without stopping. While testing the Ipod, I played music in the most efficient way suggested – did not play video, didn’t change the volume, didn’t use the backlight, etc. After 8 hours the battery was empty! Can any one tell me if this is the normal duration of the battery? I thought that if I only played music, I could get up to 15 hours on my battery.
Appreciate anyone’s comments.
Ipod 5th Generation Ipod

Charge your iPod overnight. Set the volume at 50%. Turn the equalizer off. Set Repeat to All.
Plug in the included earbud headphones, push play and walk away.
If you don't get close to the advertised playtime, then post back.

How do I put movies on the New Ipod video? Help

I just got this Ipod. How do I put my movies on it?

Convert to .mp4 or some other compatible file.
This topic is over-discusses: use the SEARCH function at the upper-right. I can guarantee you that you will get faster answers that way.

NEW IPOD VIDEO/ ITUNES ISSUES. HELP!!

OK here is my problem. I recently recieved my IPOD Video. Attempted to sync with PC... everything ok. Then tried to sync w/ ITunes... Big problem apparently I need to format all my songs to a new AAC?? Not even sure what that means. Any suggestions? I called Apple and they said I would have to do this everytime I copied a cd to my ipod. Is that correct? If so, the IPod Video will be sent back. There has to be an easier way. Please help!

I need to format all my songs to a new AAC
That's not necessarily true. The don't NEED to be in AAC. They just need to be in a format that the iPod can play.
There are several formats you can use.
They are:
AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Music Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3 and 4), Apple Lossless, WAV, AIFF
What format are your tracks in now?

Camera Connector functionality minimal with iPod (Video)

Hopefully Apple R&D reads this and acts accordingly to this review as posted in Apple store:
"[4stars] Great Potential but not mature (yet).
Connector is a great idea and interface between our 30Gb iPod (video) and Canon Powershot S80 works basically fine. Connector delivers as promised, but -unlike Apple- the provided software support and functionality by current version of iPod software (v1.0.0) is far too minimal:
- you can't make a (previewed) selection of images to be transferred. It's ‘all or nothing’ and ‘images only’ transfer (jpeg?). Sadfully other camera content like video files, is ignored. Therefore you can only free up the camera memory space used by images. OK, immediately viewing those camera produced avi's is too much asked considering capabilities of current iPod’s and its file type support, but just basic transfer of all camera data as mature backup medium should be (made) possible.
- Transfer speed is very slow. Even though they both support USB2.0 current throughput is about 15-30 minutes per 1GB (worse than USB1.1 spec!) and drains batteries rapidly. Because of that you run the risk of running out of batteries on either unit before complete transfer is finished, especially with nowadays common but big memory cards. This wouldn’t be that much of a problem if smaller selections of camera content were possible or USB2.0 transfer speed was really achieved (60GB/s)…
If Apple is able to improve compatibility, performance and feature set through future iPod software updates, the usefulness of this Connector is promising.
For now limited use (still need extra camera mem-cards if you're a pro on the go & in a hurry), but cheap ‘gadget’ (modern camera’s come with 2,5” screens for viewing images too)…

A review and some info on the new iPod Video

Folks,
I just got mine yesterday (60gb). It is fantastic. I have nothing bad to say. I loaded all my music, pictures and calendar data. I bought a TV show, downloaded a free Video Podcast, bought a Pixar short video, and a Music video. The quality of the picture is nothing short of amazing. Everyone who sees it is very impressed. I have a whole row of folks where I work that have one iPod or another, and they all needed their drool-cups changed while looking at this new addition from Apple. Well done Steve!

Thanx RJ,
I have noticed the same thing. No different from any other discussion group. But you take the bad with the good, right? Anyway, I DO love my new 5G, and I know there are so many of us out there that are really curious about the new iPod. Isn't that what any company wants? Buzz about their new product? Good buzz about the 5G is well deserved, regardless of any short comings. I have been having SOME difficulty understanding what is appropriate and NOT appropriate to say in this discussion group. I got slammed once already, and am not sure why. So, I hope my track-record gets better.
