Solar chargers for 30G iPod Video

Has anyone had any experience using any of the small solar chargers on the market that state they work with iPods. Most of them state that they are useable with iPods but I think they all are tested with the Nano or Mini only, and I'm wondering if they may be a little substandard when used with the larger iPods. Also if anyone has electronic knowledge, can you tell me how to decipher the electronic specs that are listed for them, and which one may be the best one to get. They all list specs differently, and I don't know which ones are important.
Some of the sites I've been researching them at are:

Thanks from Toronto.

I think it might need to be converted again...
If you used iTunes's option to "Convert to iPod" it might not have worked properly (iTunes is limited in the types of files it can work with). You might want to try Googling iPod Video Converter, downloading and installing a third party program, running the file through that, and then trying it on the iPod again.
I've used Videora in the past and have had some decent results with it.

  • 30g iPod Video with Dead Hard Drive

    Whoops... dropped my fancy 30g iPod Video while watching something. Now I have a nice paper weight.
    I want to manually exchange the Hard Drive. I have the old one in my hands, but can't seem to get the exact same model. I CAN however find different sizes of various hard drives.
    My question is simple: Is my 30g iPod locked to 30g? or can I pick up a 60g Toshiba Hard Drive? 80g? 160g?
    I've done some searching and I can't seem to find the answer to this question. I've found people who have replaced with 'similar' hard drives (30g Toshiba for 30g), but haven't found word on restictions.
    Thanks for any info.

    Check here, http://www.ifixit.com/Products/iPod-5th-Gen/95 . You should be able to put a bigger drive in you just need to order the correct reat case since it will be fatter.

  • Approximately how many full length movies can a 30g ipod video hold?

    Approximately how many full length movies can a 30g ipod video hold?

    Most of the movies I have are around 450 mb. So for a 30 gig iPod you should get around 60 movies. I use Handbrake to rip movies for the iPod on my mac and Cucusoft to rip them on my XP machine. The size is user selectable and averages around 400 to 500 mb.

  • Can't upload TV Shows to new 30g iPod Video

    We just purchased the new iPod Video (30g) and in Windows XP, iTunes 7 all of the songs and music videos uploaded. However, none of the TV Shows uploaded.
    Any ideas?

    The only other thing I can think of is listing the past history:
    1. Had an iPod Mini before and older version of iTunes.
    2. Purchased the TV Shows before buying the new iPod Video
    3. Upgraded to iTunes 7 and then sync'd to new iPod.
    TV Shows missing on iPod
    Could the older iPod be the problem here? Are the shows flagged as not being available to upload to the new iPod?

  • Carry Case for 80G iPod Video

    I've looked everywhere for a carry case for my iPod 80g video but can't find anything to suit. I mostly use it in the car, shut away in the glove box, and wanted something that allows me to plug in the stereo lead with the iPod still in case. I was hoping to get something with room to store the headphones and a extra lead etc.
    Any suggestions?

    Van hello. You should never keep your iPod in your glove compartment as one day you'll find that it will stop working because of excess heat, cold or humidity. Try to take it with you (if possible). There is a good carrying case at the following link: http://www.thegadgetlocker.com/productinfo.php/cPath/218_170_176/productsid/2856
    Hope it helps.

  • 30g Ipod Video keeps rebooting

    I just got the new Itunes 9.0 and synced my Ipod video as usual, but now it just keeps rebooting and is stuck on the black screen with the white apple.
    I have tried (twice) going into disk mode, and restoring the Ipod, but it still has the same issue. I have also tried plugging it into a wall charger.
    Any help would be appreciated Thanks in advanced!

    probably the next best thing to try is attempting to reset it while it is connected to a power source (like the PC). see:
