So I have a 30 GB Video iPod----

I am pretty technology challened but I already have used a lot of space- Is there anyway to get the 60 GB iPod without having to buy a completley new one? Can you tack on more space? Please help it would be much appreciated!

not as far as i know you cannot upgrade an ipod as it has a built in hard drive so you would have to replace the hard drive with a a bigger one which in effect in you are basically getting a new ipod

My 30 GB video ipod plays video but they have no audio

i have a 30 gb video ipod and the videos i put on it do not play audio i have used the mpeg4 streamclip and it still doesnt work please help me

You can use itunes convert mov and mpg to mpeg-4. One thing though, is that if you convert an mpg (mpeg-1 or mpeg-2) muxed (muxed means that the video and audio are put together on one single track) than you loose the video or sound when converting them to mpeg-4 from itunes. If your videos are muxed you must find another video converter on the web. You can find out if the original video that you are trying to convert for the ipod is muxed by opening the original video in quicktime and then click on the Window menu then click on Show Movie Info this will show you if the file is muxed.

Lastest video ipod update - Problem

I have updated my 60g video ipod with the latest update and now my video ipod is not acting right. And will not see any videos that I have placed on my ipod from my library, meaning not bought from itunes, although those show up fine.
The video do show up, but as songs and not as videos.
Can I downgrade back to the prior version or do I have to wipe the ipod and reinstall? Not a happy choice...
Any one else have this issue? Not happy with this intrusive update by apple at all. This update show have come with more information than was presented.

You shouldn't have to downgrade. You're not providing much information here. You said that videos show up as songs, but not videos. I'm assuming you have these videos labeled as Music Videos, and not Movies. Right click on your non-Music Video videos, and choose Get Info. Choose the Options tab, and change the Video Kind to Movie.

ITunes / 5G 30GB Video iPod / Senuti Questions

I recently got a MacBook Pro and I want to have my iTunes library exclusively on my MBP. I already transferred all of my songs onto the MBP using Senuti; however I was wondering if there is any way to retain Play Counts and Ratings?
Also, I have the original 5G Video iPod (not the "5.5 Revision"), and I was wondering if there is anyway I can add the search function to it.
Thanks

"Does anybody know anything about transferring while retaining play counts and ratings?"
I suspect that the problem is that we don't know "Senuti." Personally, I would have transferred the library differently but that's not the issue now.

Video Ipod Connectivity Issue....??? Pleeeeze Help!

Hello Everybody,
We have a 5th Gen. video IPod and had recently put over 1000 songs on it from a PC based iTunes. In the past, we had also put some music on our IPod from different computers (Mac & PC) but as soon as we connect with our eMac (OSX 10.3.9) all of the previously saved songs are deleted as iTunes sync the IPod with our songs library.
We believe that there might be some settings that we need to change so iTunes will not sync music automatically and delete the previously songs. Could somebody please help us navigate how to put some more songs on our IPod without deleting our precious songs library.
Thank You.
God Bless Us All

60GB video ipod labeling system

Anyways, I have a 60GB black Video Ipod and I want to organize my music and videos, etc... but let's say when I want to put music videos, movies, etc on the ipod 'video' folder, it puts them all under the music video folder and not the respective ones (it puts them all in the music video folder)
So, if I wanted to play watch Ladder49 on my ipod, it would have it labeled it under 'music videos'. Along with all of the other videos and movies i have. That kinda defeats the ipod's organizing labels if it puts them under the same label...
Hopefully, that makes sense. Anyone know what to do to fix this issue or how to put them in their respective labels?

Read this, it applies to any video you want to label, except the TV Shows option. Use it and you won't find your videos. You are confined to Movies and Music Videos. I personnally make a playlist and drag my files into them. I have one for Movies, Cartoons etc.
Videos labeled TV Shows in iTunes don't appear on iPod:

Will there be an update for video iPods?

Looking at all the new iPods (nano & classic) there is a revamp to the interface. From what I can tell there is no difference between iPod with Video and iPod classic (Other than storage capacities and build materials). So hypothetically the new interface with coverflow should work on the iPods with video right? Does any one know if apple intends to have an update for video iPods?

Could I please make one thing clear, I am not prepared to turn this into a "slanging" match. The comments I made are valid comments and I have in no way insulted anybody in this discussion and would appreciate the same.
Firstly my comments of "I'm sure that Apple would be able to bring an update to 5th gen ipods to include the new and exciting features they have announced?" it is a simple comment, of which you have questioned in a manner to which I'm not sure; why you have done so? Are people out there saying it is in no way possible to roll back these great features to the 5th gen ipods? The human race have completed many amazing feets, but I guess cover flow on a 5th gen ipod is just a step too far?
Your crued observation of me using the word rhetorical is confusing to say the very least. A rhetorical question is one you already know the answer too, therefore it may be viewed as a question but is in fact a statement.
The third comment, i will agree with you upon. I have jumped to a conclusion, but, for what other reason would Apple not roll these exciting features onto the 5th gen ipods for, other than; they want you to buy the new ipods? Which in itself validates my point, I do not feel the need to own 2 large storage devices.
4th comment, "I would certainly never defend bad support. However, Apple has provided excellent support. Your whining is completely unrelated to support". Very constructive!
Finally the 5th comment. I will repeat my self:
"The human race have completed many amazing feets, but I guess cover flow on a 5th gen ipod is just a step too far?"
At no point have I confessed to being an ipod software creator, but I'm sure the lovely people at Apple could perform this feet........if they wanted too?

Can't put iTunes Store items on Video iPod

Hi everyone... hopefully someone can help me out!
I have a brand new Video iPod, a flat panel Mac G4 using Tiger 10.4.4, and iTunes 6.0.2.
Every song and audiobook that I have purchased from the iTunes store will NOT go on my iPod. It keeps telling me that "some of the songs in the iTunes music library were not copied to the iPOD because your iPod software is too old." Ok, I know that's not the case because it's brand new, but I updated everything anyway.
What I finally noticed is that the songs are locked. When I see them in my music folder on my hard drive, they have a little lock icon in the upper left corner of the music icon which, coincidentally, is in a M4P format. All the songs I have purchased, and the 3 audiobooks as well, are all like that- locked and M4P format (or MP4).
Has anyone else experienced this problem and, if so, do you know how I can get this stuff on my iPod? Every question sent to Apple has been met with the same "solution" of either update it, restore it, restart it, etc. I've done all that. It appears to be something to do with the fact that these things are locked. Can I unlock them somehow??

Yes and no... I am TRYING to use the latest update of the software, which is "iPod updater 2006-01-10." It says I am updated, so I tried to put my "purchased" music on my iPod and it still gives me the message that I am unable to add those songs because my iPod software is too old. So I went to restore it instead, and the updater software says I need to connect using the firewire. But when I use the firewire it doesn't recognize the iPod!
I took the songs giving me trouble and put them on a CD. I imported the CD onto my laptop. From there I was able to restore the iPod, finally, and I was able to put those elusive "purchased" songs on the iPod, but when I connected it back to my main computer, I was back to square one. I needed to reconnect the iPod to my main computer because after the restore on the laptop I lost all my original songs, so I had to get the songs from the main computer. By doing that, I lost the "purchased" songs because iTunes wouldn't let me keep them AND add the my old songs back on because they are from different libraries! ARGH!
Apparently I just need to take it in to be fixed because I've serioulsy tried everything. If there was a way to transfer the iTunes library from the main computer to the laptop, everything would probably work. Is that possible?

I have upgraded my Itunes to a Windows 8 Computer but now movies will not upload to my video ipod

Hi, Firstly thanks for clicking on to read this!!
I have been using an oldish computer for years for my Itunes, and having just purchased a Samsung touch screen computer with Windows 8 I have transfered all my Itunes over to the new computer.
All the music works fine and I have it all stored on a Passport usb drive to avoid 'clogging' up the new computer.
HOWEVER non of my videos or movies will now Sync to my video ipod. I just get the following message... "The videos were not copied to the ipod because they can not be played on this ipod".
I have already tried the following...
1) Not using the Passport and importing it all on to the computer hard drive....... Same message comes up.
2) Highlighting the TV shows and movies and going to file 'create ipod version' ... but this is greyed out and can not be selected.
I have tried re-downloading TV shows on the new computer however that will take AGES!!! (slow connection from Itunes when re-downloading ... 1 episode of bones takes about 4 hours and I have about 50 different series of various shows)... They did however sync to the ipod.
If I re-plug my ipod into the old computer and use my itunes though the passport again IT DOES WORK AND EVERY THING SYNCS!!!... thus I dont think the actual Ipod is faulty!!!!
Is this just an update that Apple are dragging their feet with (or not even bothering with).
Thanks for any advice or help you may be able to offer me.

There's no reason that upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion would make this application work. I've looked up Music PadPro. I don't know much about it, but it looks pretty old. Here are the requirements:
Macintosh G4 or higher processor running Mac OS X Version 10.2.6 (minimum),
Mac OS X Version 10.3.2 (recommended), or Mac OS X Version 10.4.2.
Looking at that, I would guess that the application would require a PowerPC processor. After the release of the Intel machines back in 2006, Apple included something called Rosetta within OS X. This allowed programs developed for the older architecture (PowerPC) to run on the newer Intel machines. The reason for this was to give developers some time to upgrade their applications to run natively on Intel processors. It was only with the introduction of Lion that Apple pulled Rosetta from their OS. They had basically given developers about five years to upgrade their applications. Unfortunately, in your case, the developer went belly up. You can always install an older version of the OS on either a separate partition or an external drive and you can run your program from there.

I have a video that I created for my daughter's first birthday. The hard drive on my computer crashed and I lost the video file. The only place I have it is on my iPod Classic. How can I transfer the video from my iPod to my new hard drive?

You are in luck, Refer to this recent post by tt2, on recovering media using 3rd Party Software.
He has made a comprehensive list, browse through them and decide which suits your requirements.

Since you're on a Mac...
For converting DVDs for the iPod, use Handbrake:

For converting video files you already have on your computer for the iPod, use iSquint:

Yes. See this article from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to copy content from your iPod over to your computer and into iTunes. Once you have successfully done that, you can go ahead and sync the content over to your iPhone.
