Trouble with 30GB ipod w/ video and trouble with itunes 7

here's the story: i just got a new ipod (the 30 GB with video). i got tired of my little shuffle with no screen.
so, i put my whole itunes library onto the ipod and everything was working fine. i loved it. then, i deleted some items from my itunes library on my laptop because it was taking up needed space on my hard drive, i figured this was fine, since i still have it on my ipod, and i can watch/listen to them anytime i want. But, when i went back later to put some new stuff on my ipod, 2 shows and 2 of my favorite podcast episodes were deleted from the ipod that i had put on before!
-i checked the manual, it said that i need to be in the manual mode instead of itunes/ipod automatically updating the ipod's library. i was transferring stuff manually, but it still got rid of some stuff on it's own.
the music was all still there, but a tv show episode, and 2 of my favorite video podcast episodes were deleted.
-Will this always be a problem everytime I hook it up to my laptop and want to add new stuff to my ipod? I don't even have half of the ipod filled. it says that I have 20Gb of free space.
i want to be able to keep stuff on my ipod that i will delete from my itunes library/hard drive. such as movies, tv shows, my favorite video podcast episodes. But at the same time, I want to be able to add new stuff. Is this Possible?? please help! is the ipod/itunes programmed to delete everything from the ipod that is not in the itunes library????

I figured it out myself: i chose the option manage manually.

  • Firewire supposed to work on 30GB ipod w/video?

    I finally got a firewire to dock cable for my old 40GB iPod and it went kablooey...bought a new 30GB iPod w/video and when I plugged it into the firewire on my iMac I got an error message saying firewire wasn't supported!!
    WTH, Over?

    This news is akin to the raid on Pearl Harbor in terms of freshness. Your iPod comes with a USB cable and the FW can still be used to charge it (handy to charge on a computer not synced to the iPod), so why fret?

  • Running with 30GB ipod

    Can I use my 30GB ipod when running and working out?? I know that it is hard drive based so will running cause problems?

    You'll probably be fine with it.
    There's always a chance of a problem if you engage in really rigorous activity with a hard drive based iPod... but the chances are pretty good that nothing will happen during routine exercise.
    Don't drop any freeweights on the iPod... that will surely cause a problem

  • Will ipod 5G video 80Gb work with B

    Hi,
        Just trying to clear this problem up, I have the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air Dock and recently purchased an 80 Gb ipod 5G Video (circa 2006), I purchased this 2nd hand recently from e-bay and it sounds superb through headphones and enables me to store my cd collection in full in apple Lossless format.
    However when I dock it with the Zeppelin Air it says that the docked device is not compatible with this ipod. My Ipod touch 1st generation works with the Zeppelin but is only 32Gb in capacity so I was Dissapointed to find that the Ipod 5G video won't Dock, can anyone confirm that it is incompatible with the Zeppelin Air, Regards, Cyber!

    Okay,
             Had a response from Bowers & Wilkins about this, they have confirmed that the ipod 5G Video is incompatible with the Zeppelin Air because it does not provide digital out from the dock (30 pin) connector, so hope this can help anyone thinking of purchasing a B&W Zeppelin Air for use with an ipod.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - Anything else here
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

  • HT204409 How do I change or reset my password for my wifi? I have forgotten my initial password when I setup the wifi and now cant use it with my iPod but it still works with my iPad as the password option doesn't come up like the iPod.

    How do I change or reset my password for my wifi? I have forgotten my initial password when I setup the wifi and now cant use it with my iPod but it still works with my iPad as the password option doesn't come up like the iPod.

    If you are saying that the iPod asks for the password for the network and you do not know it, what may work is to turn on iCloud keychain for the iPod and iPad., Thet may sync the password from the iPad to the iPod

    Otherwise you will have to go into the router settings and reset the wifi password in the router

  • My project is set up with "rotation" menu intro, video, and then "rotation" on end, however, when you put DVD disc in DVD player, menu does not come up on front end, it goes straight to the video.  Is there some step I am missing?

    My project is set up with "rotation" menu intro, video, and then "rotation" on end, however, when you put DVD disc in DVD player, menu does not come up on front end, it goes straight to the video.  Is there some step I am missing?

    Open your iDVD project and go into the Map mode.  Made sure the autostart bin on the left is empty.
    Click to view full size
    If you find a video in that bin remove it, save the project as a disk image and check the disk image with DVD Player.  Then you can burn the disk image to disk with Disk Utilitiy at 4x for optimal burning.

  • Problem with the iPod memory status colour bar in iTunes 7

    Hello
    The iPod memory status bar in iTunes (the one with different colour bars that show the proportion of total memory filled by music, video, photos, other) says that 26gb of my 30gb iPod is filled, and 26gb is free. Clearly that cannot be the case as that's way over 100% of the iPod's memory. Resetting the iPod has not solved this problem as when I fill it back up with songs, videos etc this glitch returns. Can anyone help please?

    I tried formatting the ipod with windows! in the end of it windows says that it was not able to format the drive properly. then I click ok, open itunes, restore the ipod, try to sync again and have the problem that after a while the whole thing freezes... no more errors....just from the moment i disconnect the ipod manually from the cable, everything gets back to normal life again! I do not know what to do! do you guys think, my computer is too old or maybe my ipod's broke???
    I'm despairing people...never had problems like that until itunes7! I tried as well to close all the other working programs with the task manager... doesn't change it!
    Thx for the help!

  • I have an ipod touch 8gb that is disabled. on the screen it reads ipod disabled connect to itunes. But when i connect it to itunes, it says that it cant work with the ipod because it is locked with a passcode. what now?

    I have an ipod touch 8gb that is disabled. on the screen it reads ipod disabled connect to itunes. But when i connect it to itunes, it says that it cant work with the ipod because it is locked with a passcode. what now?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • I have an old ipod (5th gen) and I downloaded itunes to my toshiba computer. It says my ipod was formatted by mcintosh and must be restored before i can use on windows. is there a way to transfer my music? ty

    I have an old ipod (5th gen) and I downloaded itunes to my toshiba computer. It says my ipod was formatted by mcintosh and must be restored before i can use on windows. is there a way to transfer my music? ty

    Not without installing additional software on your computer.  The problem is that your Windows PC cannot read the Mac's disk format.  If the iPod was previously used on a Mac, its storage uses the Mac's disk format.  The Restore process reformats the iPod's disk for use with Windows, but this erases its current content.
    There are third-party products that allow Windows to read the Mac's disk format.  For example
    http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive
    However, even if your computer is able to read the Mac's disk format, iTunes cannot be used to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  But there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    So, you may be able to do it by first making the iPod's disk readable on a Windows PC, and then using a method (that is not iTunes) to transfer its song files to your computer's drive.  After the song files are on your computer, you can add them to the iTunes library.
