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.

  • 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.

  • In reference to this topic:   Will my Powerbook handle the new ipod video?

    In reference to what Chris CA, and shadowsoldier were arguing about (ipod 5th Generation vs. ipod with video) Here is some information that i found on the apple website
    October 12, 2005 - The Fifth Generation iPod replaced the iPod with color displays
    June 6, 2006 - The iPod U2 Special Edition is introduced, based on the Fifth Generation iPod. The U2 iPod has different exterior (red Click Wheel, U2's signatures engraved on the back) and includes an iTunes Music Store coupon to download 30 minutes of video featuring music and interviews with the band.

    no it isn't
    the 5 gen ipod has video capabilities but is not "the" video ipod. its like the nano it supports photos but its not an ipod photo. the "ipod video" is the 6 gen ipod which is coming out this fall. its gonna have a bigger screen made to actually watch movies on it. the 5 gen you can watch movies on it buts not practical for it. its "ipod" it became just the standard ipod. notice that nowhere does apple call it "ipod video"
    even on the page you replied with it says "Fifth Generation iPod (also known as iPod with video)" notice ipod with video

  • The new iPod Video, xtra HD?

    hi, can I buy a 30GB iPod Video and use it as a backup HD? I need an iPod for portable music, possibly to watch some television DVDs on it, and to store Garageband and SoundStudio files. I might also want to store other files onto it, but currently audio is the only kind of media I use my comp. for. I have lost useful data twice, and don't want to again. I don't want to buy an external HD to backup data, plus I've been hankering for my own mp3 player anyways.
    thnx

    Stan,
    The iPod could work as a backup HD, but as long as you don't access it a lot. If you are always adding files to it and making the HD spin a lot, it could shorten the lifetime of your iPod. But, for just backing some stuff up every once in a while and to store some files, you should be fine.

  • Will my Powerbook handle the new ipod video?

    I've got a Powerbook G4 Titanium (only USB 1.1) and was hoping to get an ipod with video capability. I see they're not firewire supported, so does this leave me out? Running 10.39.
    Thanks

  • When will Apple release the new iPod Video Firmware?!?

    Hello there
    I'm just wondering when will Apple will release iPod Video Firmware that does fix the Artowork disappearance in iPod Video
    You can check the whole problem details in: Re: Ipod album cover problem "An unknown error occurred (-50)

    And what you needed to do before you asked a question speculating about forthcoming updates from Apple, was to read the Terms of Use about posting here in Discussions, specifically this part.

  • 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)

  • Do the new iPod Touches shoot video and take pictures?

    Do the new iPod Touches shoot video and take pictures?
    The new Nanos shoot video. You'd think the Touch would.
    I spent maybe 20 minutes reading Apple info pages, an iPod comparison page, and even quickly searched the User Guide, but saw nothing about shooting video anywhere.
    Sure, it talked about video, but it wasn't clear to me if that was only for playback.
    I guess I am missing it, or else it doesn't do it, which would be strange.
    If it does, where is this info on the Apple Web site? That is, links to both video and photo shooting?
    Thanks!
    S.

    not yet....
    most people expected a camera to be added to the iPod touch, but that announcement didn't arrive.

  • 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!

  • Problems of the new iPod

    After one week testing the new iPod (60 Giga), i'm not happy to say that i'm quite disappointed.
    I've a music library of 35 gigs and around 3000 photos. Few videos.
    The major problem i've noticed is the artwork loading/displayng. In shuffle mode, artworks are showed correctly, but they takes lot of time for loading and the music occasionaly stops for a moment, while the HD is working.
    But if i want to play an entire album, the songs frequently are skipped, the music takes many seconds to start, the screen animation remains locked, system freezed, the HD continuously works. I wonder why all this HD activity for loading only 20-80 kb of image data while it takes one second for loading one song of 10 megs? Often the first song of the album is skipped and the album is played from the second one. This problem occours as with artworks added manually, as with artworks of songs buyed from ITMS. No difference.
    If i disable the artwork showing (from iTunes), the songs are loaded immediately, fast, with no issue, smooth as with my 4G iPod (no photo), where i have loaded in the same music library.
    The photo display is nice, but slooooww! sometimes it takes 30 seconds or more to generate the thumbnail of one folder.
    And the HD works continuosly.
    I've also checked the HD from disk utility, but everiyhing is OK.
    Another note: everyone says that the quality of the display is great. I'm not so satisfied. The quality of the pictures is disappointing, all the colors are washed out. The same photo, showed on the display of my digital camera is absolutely better! The display is too bright for my taste, the photos are showed overexposed, but it lacks of a brightness adjustment...
    The only thing i've found very nice and efficient is the movie play. For short movies (< 3 mins.) no issue.
    In conclusion: from thee Photo side, this iPod suffers of some serious bugs that i hope to be corrected ASAP. In addition, the continuous HD activity when loading images (photos and artworks) dramatically drains the battery charge. The song skipping sometimes is a frustrating experience, due to the issue of the artwork loading that lock the entire system for few seconds.
    I think that Apple has commercialized this product too soon, not yet well optimized and fully tested, only to have it available in the stores for Christmas time. But it's far to be what i've read on some reviews...

    I wouldn't bet against a software update to fix this problem, but who knows how long you'd have to wait.

  • Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me.  I recently got my first ever Ipod.  It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.  I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me.  I recently got my first ever Ipod.  It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.  I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.  I have tried uninstalling & re-installing Itunes but this didnt help. 
    Does anyone have any ideas? 
    Thanks for your help.

    I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos.  It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again.  Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device).  Under Settings, click on Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box at the top for Sync Music.  That turns ON automatic syncing for music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below.  Then click Apply.

  • Question about the new iPod Touch 5G?

    When in October will it come out? On the Apple site it says it will come in October. Does that mean October 1st? Also i'm debating in which color to get I might get yellow or blue, do you think the yellow color looks sorta greenish? Many people are saying it looks green a little and I don't see it! But I think the pink looks orange. I saw a test video of the new ipod in the store and the pink looked orange lol. thanks!

    When in October will it come out? On the Apple site it says it will come in October. Does that mean October 1st?
    Unlikely. And only Apple knows.  But when Apple is non-specific on a date, it almost never means the earlest date, and in some cases they have had to add days to the month, as in when the iPhone 1st gen was released it was the 32nd of the month :-)
    Colors are a personal thing.  If you have a store that sells iPod Touchs, then visit the store when they start to display them, and check out the colors in person, as colors on computer screens are rarely "True" colors because most monitors are not calibrated.

    hi i dont have a wifi broadband n i just bought the new ipod touch can anyone tell me how 2 download apps for my ipod without using wifi

    Download the apps on your syncing computer and then sync to the iPod. Note that you can only sync apps for the one syncing computer you use with the iPod. You can manage music and videos among different computer.
