Video iPod with Alpine DVD HeadUnit

Just wondering with the new 5g Video ipod can u get the video to be played out on the alpine dvd headunit. For instance, right now i have the 4g ipod and i can hook it up to my alpine headunit via the ipod adapter so i can view the playists and play music off my ipod. So, can i play a video playlist from my ipod and have it output to my dvd screen in my car? Anyone? Thanks!

I have the alpine setup, though not with a screen and I'm going to say no, because the iPod control box doesn't seem to have a video output, only the audio one...i've been listening to my fave movies while I'm in traffic though, a pretty cool little trick...

  • 60G video iPod with +15G free can't see iPhoto albums, -50 error

    Everything had been running smoothly in my 60G video iPod with photos and videos and music. With more than 15G free on my iPod, space isn't an issue. For reference, I have iPhoto 6 and iTunes 6, both completely updated (as is QuickTime). I've deleted the iPod photo cache on the hard drive. And, because of a previous iPhoto problem, I've rebuilt my system from the hard drive up recently.
    Here's the problem: I don't know why iTunes "suddenly" can't see the iPhoto albums. It can see the iPhoto library, but won't let me select specific albums. I don't want all my photos on my iPod, plus it's a +30G photo library so it wouldn't all fit anyway. All I know about what happened right before this problem is, and I quote:
    Q: "What happened?"
    A: "That beachball thing spun for like 5 minutes so I restarted."
    Q: "What application were you using at the time?"
    A: "Who knows?"
    (To which I'm desperately thinking "Count to 10, you're the adult...count to 10, you're the adult...")
    In hunting around on my hard drive, I can also see that there are a bunch of random gifs and jpegs in the Pictures folder. It looks like the Apple website blew up, piece by piece (a gif for each tab across the top, for example) along with some widgets and something I don't recognize.
    After deleting my iPod photo cache, I could get iTunes to start updating the iPod again, but now it doesn't see anything but the whole iPhoto library. I tried selecting the whole library, but I got the -50 error again (can't update, error unknown). I use the iPod extensively as a traveling photo album, and now (because I deleted the iPod photo cache I assume) I don't have ANY pictures.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Fixed!
    Adding new photographs to my Library seems to have sorted the problem out. So if anyone else has this problem, a holiday to Amsterdam is the cure

  • Using the video iPod with the Bose SoundDock

    I just purchased the new video iPod and Bose SoundDock, I noticed that I can't fast forward through MP3s when using the SoundDock remote, anyone else notice this? Downloaded the latest updates from Apple's website, didn't help...
    drakemallard

    Hey,
    I had exactly the same problem and updated both my iTunes software and my iPod Software (downloaded the latest iPod updater) and the problem has been fixed. My iPod video is now running software version 1.1 and I can fasst forward and rewind using the Bose remote with no problems now!
    I loved the SoundDock before, but now it just feels all that more complete. Hope it helps.

  • I have a video ipod with a problem

    i just got my ipod and i had uploaded a lot of songs and two music videos with songs. Well now the songs with the music videos and the two music videos are gone. I bought them from itunes but i cant find any of the FAQs for that. Everything else is fine. But the music videos are no longer on there. Any ideas as to how i can get them back on.

    Not everything about an iPod can be fixed by taking it to an Apple store. Problems exist with computers, too. So, please only post this message (that I've seen on countless threads already) if the problem itself can actually be fixed by resetting, restoring, or replacing, because that's about the extent of what a Mac Genius can do with an iPod at a Genius Bar. I'm not knocking them, but a lot of things do need to be done on a computer.
    Thank you.

  • Capturing DVD video shot with a DVD Camcorder

    I have a Panasonic DVD camcorder. It records on mini DVD's.
    With FCE, how do I capture what I've shot. The camera has a USB output but not a fire wire.
    Can I go directly from my digital camcorder to the capture tool? Or can I use the internal DVD player in my MacBook?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    this is the usual reply in the iMovie section of this board, when it comes to converting DVDs into 'dv' (=for editing in iM/FCE):
    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing... or, as honorable forum member QuicktimeKirk stated: I use the analogy of the old Polaroid "instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and show it off. ..
    for using the iLife apps (= and FCE...) , you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    * DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    * Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    * VisualHub (23.32$)
    * Cinematize >60$
    * Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    * Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    * connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
    none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

  • HELP: Using my video iPod with iTrip/Mac OXS 10.3.9

    I just bought the new iPod and one of the main reasons i bought it was so that i could listen to music in my car. I bought iTrip along with the iPod but it isn't compatible. Someone suggested that i could use a cassette tape adapter but i dont have a tape player in my car... just CD. Is there any i can play the songs from my iPod in my car? if so what do i need to buy.
    Also, everytime i try to buy a TV show or Podcast from iTunes, it tells me that i need 10.3.9 but i only have version 10.3.5. What do i need to do about that?
    Please help me if you can. Thanks!

    hey, the new itrip uses a dock connecter and works with the new ipods. u can get it here http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itrip30/index.php

  • How to back up ITunes/Video Ipod with an external hard drive with Win XP?

    How can I create a single file of my entire Itunes "library" so I can move it to an external drive for backup, using Windows XP?

    restoring a formatted drive - not sure I'm following you there
    but in the future the best way is to reformat the drive, hook up your external hard drive, and then drag and drop those music files back into your my music folder the exact opposite of when you drug them onto your external drive
    worst case is you would have to point itunes to that music folder through options

  • Old Composite Video cable (Tangerine iBook) not compatible with Video iPod

    I discovered a little surprise.
    Despite being exactly identical on both ends of the cable, an old Apple Composite Video cable, originally purchased for a Tangerine iBook, is not compatible with Video iPod.
    Anybody confirms such situation, or is it just my Video iPod with a faulty video output?

  • Working iPod 5th Gen with Alpine Car Stereo CMA9855

    Hi
    Just wondering whether anyone has tried using the latest iPod with Alpine Car Stereo CMA 9855 with an iPod interface.
    Problem - not all artists show up on the stereo screen + can't get quick search to work. Is it an alpine stereo software problem?
    Appreciate any feedback.
    Dom

    I have a Clarion Pro Audio deck/Clarion IPOD connector. My system worked great up until IPOD SW 1.2.
    Before, I could control the IPOD on the face of the IPOD. Now, the IPOD works, but it's in locked mode, so I can't browse artists/albums any more. Baiscally, I have to hit RANDOM TRACK mode, and hope I land on a CD I'm in the mood for.
    Very frustrating, although GAPLESS is great. (FINALLY!!!!)

  • Synching Ipod with External Hard Drive

    Hey there,
    I have a Powerbook G4 and a 5G video ipod with itunes 7. Now, my computer hard drive space is rapidly approaching full capacity, so its getting to the stage where I will need to transfer the 30 odd gigs of music to my external hard drive. But i was wondering what this action will mean when it comes to running itunes 7, and synching my ipod, as i'm sure there are a number of complications involved with locating the itunes library etc etc etc
    Is there a way to transfer my entire music library to my external hard drive, yet still be able to easily update my ipod whenever I add new stuff???
    Or alternatively, are there other alternatives
    Cheers,
    Mike

  • Smart playlists won't play on video ipod after upgrade to itunes version 7

    Upgraded to ITunes version 7 on Windows XP using Video Ipod with firmware level 1.2. Resynced Ipod after Itunes upgrade. Now when I hit ipod's play button on a smart playlist, nothing happens. If I hit play button from itunes, no problems...
    Is this a known issue with a solution? I was unable to find a solution in the forum. Thank you for any assistance.

    This problem only occurs when podcasts are included in the playlist. Full restoration of IPOD did not resolve problem.
    Contacted Apple support after a 45-minutes hold time; the support staff were not helpful. Won't invest in a support agreement with Apple going forward...

  • 8 GB Nano vs 30 GB Video Ipod

    These are the same price. I'm trying to decide which to purchase. Are their any reasons other than size that I would choose the Nano over the Video Ipod with lots of storage?
      Windows XP  

    The Nano is also flash based vs. a hard drive in the video models. Flash memory is much more expensive than hard drives so this is why an 8GB flash player costs the same as a much larger capacity hard drive player. The benefit to a flash player is that it has no moving parts and will likely never fail. I've seen very few comments regarding Nanos failing. The most common hardware failure on hard drive players is the hard drive.

  • 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.
    (Video Out doesn't exist.)

  • Down loaded a new video and it won't load onto the video ipod

    I downloaded an episode of Baby Einsteins for my son to watch on the video ipod. iTunes gives the message "Pirates Treasure" was not copied onto the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod. What more can I do. I have a new 12" powerbook, the newest video iPod with plenty of space, and all of the latest software updates! It's frusturating that service for this type of problem is so hard to get. Can anyone help me?

  • ITunes freezes when trying to add songs to 30GB video iPod

    Here's my situation exactly:
    I just bought a 30GB Video iPod with some songs and videos already uploaded onto it. After much reading, I found out how to get the songs from the iPod onto my computer so I could put them into my iTunes library. I added some songs and videos of my own to my iTunes library and tried to update my iPod. The iTunes program says do not disconnect-- updating iPod but my iPod doesn't say anything. The funny thing is that the actual iPod says do not disconnect until I open iTunes and try updating it, then the do not disconnect msg goes away on the iPod. I left my computer on for about 12+ hours straight while iTunes said Do not disconnect.. woke up the next morning and iTunes was frozen-- no new songs on the iPod. What could the issue be exactly? I have slight issues with my usb ports-- for example; sometimes they do not recognize things plugged into them (memory sticks, printers)... BUT it does recognize my iPod-- it shows up in my computer as a removeable disk drive or something, plus as soon as I plug it in the iPod says do not disconnect. I definitely need help though... I'm dying to put some songs of my own on this thing.
    Things I have tried so far:
    Deleting and installing iTunes and everything else again
    Restarting computer and iPod-- of course
    Tried plugging it into diff. usb ports
    HP Pavilion   Windows XP  

    I'm assuming the usb hardware problem may be a good possibility because I've always had problems with my usb ports. I can't get a printer to work or those Scandisk things. My assumption is perhaps u can take files from things plugged into the usb ports but you can't add files/etc to things plugged into the usb ports. I will still attempt what you told me to do. I just don't want to lose what I currently have on my iPod and be stuck with a blank iPod because I use it quite often. Maybe a new computer should be my next purchase? Thanks so much!
