Solution for ipod video. Worked for me

I have had similar problems as others on this forum. Plugged in my new ipod and it froze. Reset it, followed the 5 R's. Nothing seemed to work. Except that I only removed the itunes software not the ipod software. I uninstalled everything and reloaded everything and it worked fine.

no you cant use your ipod video. i tryed my self i bought the kit for my ipod video i asked in the shop but he sayed it fitted all ipods, dont trust these **** expedients,
so far they dont have made the firmware for the video, but i discovered, that the video is extremly bad to run with its to heavy, if you really want to run with nike+ipod nano, then buy a nano.
i cant run without music

Can the ipod video work with my Wimdows computer?

I was thinking about buying a new ipod video, but I'm unclear on the requirements. I have a windows xp home edition from 2002 without a service pack. Do I need to have a service pack in order to use that ipod or can i just go without it?

Yes, you do.For full details:http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html

Switched iPod Video format from PC to Mac - "Restore" fried my iPod

I bought an iPod Video 30gb in Dec. 05. I originally formatted it to work with my Dell PC Inspiron laptop. Everthing worked great and I didn't have any problems. About two months ago I bought a Macbook and transferred all of my files, including my music, from the former to the latter. I authorized my iPod on my Macbook and registered my Macbook to read all of the music I purchased on iTunes. So, I made the switch from PC to Mac without any problems and my iPod Video worked just fine without any issues. It synched my songs, etc.
Then, about 2 weeks ago I noticed that iTunes would not allow me to update the iPod software because the "Settings" screen that appears when I plugged my iPod into my Macbook said that it cannot update iPods that use the PC format. So, I read the instructions for switching the format of my iPod from PC to Mac and apparently all I had to do was select the "Restore" function in the Settings screen. I did so and it appeared that everything was OK. It erased my iPod, reformatted the software, and then downloaded all of my music.
The next day though the problems started. My iPod started to freeze up; none of the buttons worked and I had to reboot it to shut off the screen. Strangely though, it wouldn't rebott all the way because it didn't boot back up. I waited a few hours and pressed the middle and menu button to try to reboot it again and it worked, but the battery was completely drawn down. I recharged the battery, but the same thing happened again after listening to music for 10 minutes. The iPod froze up, wouldn't respond, wouldn't reboot, rebooted later with an almost dead battery, recharged it and started all over. I thought that perhaps doing the "Restore" function again would fix the problem. So, I "Restored" my iPod two more separate times. But, nothing has worked.
I took my iPod to the SoHo, NYC Apple store this morning and they had no idea what to do. To my extreme frustration, they kept on trying to tell me that there was something wrong with my battery. But, I repeatedly told them that everything was fine until I did the "Restore" function to change the format from PC to Mac. Has anyone heard of this problem? Is there anything that I can do?
Thank you for your help.

see doing the following helps
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
seems it could be some bad sectors on the HD of your iPod, if the above does not solve, then do a Restore with a PC, and see what happen

ITunes doesn't work after I installed it for my new iPod video

Hi,
This is my problem:
When I connect my iPod video to my computer( windowsXP) iTunes doesn't open up. If I start iTunes manually it's says this error:(normally in dutch) The needed software for communication with iPod isn't installed properly. Plz install again, so the software on iPod can be installed.
So I reinstall iTunes, but this error still shows up.+ When I check on ITunes in one of the menus, it says: no iPod connected, but my iPod is connected to my computer.
Can anyone find an explanation for this?

Getting the ipod to work on a Mac after being formated for a PC

I just received a 60g video ipod for christmas. I ran it first on my parents PC. It worked great. I was able to copy songs and even use the ipod as a portable HD. Then I took it home, plugged it into my PowerPC G4 and nothing happend. It wouldn't show up in itunes, or on my desktop. Then I used the ipod updater from 11-17. It wouldn't recognize my ipod being plugged in. I then went into itunes prefrences and it said "no ipod connected" and when i try to run itunes with the ipod connected itunes just freezes until i unplug it.
I have a PCI slot USB 2.0 that i plugged it into. (i even tried the 1.0 just to see if it would at least read) I tried everything. I know it should be able to at least read the ipod even if it's formated for the PC. but it doesn't. The weird part is the ipod says "Do not disconnect" when i plug it into the machine. So the ipod is reading the usb cable.
i later took it to my friends, house who has a PC, and was able to format the ipod. but when i brought it back home it still won't work. i am sooo frustrated right now. i don't know what to do except throw this thing against the wall. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I tried replying to this message earlier but it never appeared. Thats probably a good thing since I think I finally found a solution.
I was having the exact same problem as kriutta (pc to mac, powermac g4, pci usb 2.0 card).
Since my Mac wouldn't let me format the iPod, I took it to the Apple Store and had one of the techs there format it on a new Mac in the store. I brought it home and this allowed iTunes to see the iPod.
I still had another problem that I couldn't format the iPod using the iPod Updater, the icon for the iPod was for my old 3G iPod and iTunes wouldn't let me transfer photos or videos (no tabs in preferences).
To fix these problems I deleted /System/Library/Extensions/iPodDriver.kext and replaced it with the newest version from the iTunes 6.0.3 package. I then ran disk utility to fix permissions and rebooted. It worked!
iPod Updater works, iTunes shows the right 5G icon, I can transfer my videos and it's right now transfering my Photos.
One last thing....some of those PCI USB 2.0 cards are crap. I've heard that the Belkin one works the best but a lot of them aren't supported by Apple's USB drivers (even though they say they're Mac compatible). So be careful that the USB 2.0 card you're using is a good one.
I hope this helps.

Free Ipod Video Converter for Windows

Ok, a lot of people are talking about using an Ipod converter to switch the format of the video so you can put it on the Ipod. However, when I searched it on google, a bunch came up. Could you help me and tell me which one is the best or better one to use. I heard something about Free iPod Converter (http://www.ipod-video-converter.org/index.html)- (Windows only, good for all) and I went there, but it did not work and showed up at screen that I couldnt go anywhere. Please help.

Video errors for 30g ipod video

Can someone help me? I have a video file i converted to the proper format for my ipod and I was able to transfer it to the ipod, but when I try to play it on the ipod all I get is a black screen and no sound and after about 30 seconds it goes back to the menu.

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.

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:

For the second time this week the sound on my iPad 2 doesn't work. Who has the solution for this problemen?

For the second time this week i don't get any sound from my iPad 2. Who has the solution for this problem?

Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
