Video podcasts and iPod Nano

Hi everybody!
Why can't I add video podcasts to my iPod nano 4GB ?

no...i don't becuase, like all good marketing, they have certain products with certain features.
Such as,
Ipod Nano = incredibly small, album art, and a good amount of music
ipod Video= little big but the screen needs to be big for video capabilities. They can also get more money for something like this.
and plus if nano had video, it be hard to see...the screen is extremely small.

  • Can I sync my Nano 6G and an iPod 5G, and keep video podcasts off my Nano?

    Can I use my Macbook to sync both a Nano 6G and an iPod Touch 5G, and specify which podcasts go on which device?  I don't want video podcasts on my Nano.
    Thank you.

    Yes. How you configure podcasts to sync to one device (from under each iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes) will not affect how the configuration settings of the other.

  • Itunes/quicktime crashes when trying to play video podcasts and 3GP files

    Hello all,
    I've searched these forums and didn't see anything that might help me, so if know of any solutions posted already, please let me know. I have an HP laptop(AMD Turion 64 X2 2.0 GB processor, 2 GB or RAM) running Windows Vista Home Premium. I used to be able to play 3GP files at one time with Quicktime, but now I cannot. Then, the other day I tried to play a video podcast and it starts to play, then says, "Itunes has stopped working". Quicktime does the same thing with 3GP files. This was before my update to Itunes 8.0. It happpened with Itunes 7.5.11.1 or whatever the last version was. It obviously does the same thing with Itunes 8. I've tried completely uninstalling Itunes and quicktime, then reinstalling them both and I still have the same problem. Just a note: I tried playing the video podcast via Windows Media Playey, and it worked fine, except for no audio(I don't think WMP has AAC support) so I think something is conflicting between Itunes and my computer. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

    You can only transfer music and videos through iTunes. If computer/laptop music folders is what you mean of "existing library", then it would not be possible. Add your files first to iTunes then sync.

  • Video Podcast on iPod Classic vs iPhone 4

    Some video podcasts will not load onto my iPod classic but WILL on my iPhone 4. I'm using iTunes 10 on a macbook. i read on this forum about converting video podcasts to iPod format, and that it doesn't always work. I'm just trying to find out why there is a difference between the iPod and the iPhone.
    THANKS

    MORE INFO:
    I have also noticed that of the 4 video podcasts I have tried to download on my iPod classic, the only one that was successful had a bit rate, total bit rate, and size in MB that was approx double of what the other three had. I also have, since my last post, tried to convert the podcasts to an " iPod version" from the ADVANCED drop down menu in the iTunes toolbar, but it made no difference.
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • Download and playback of video podcasts and vodcasts

    Hi Folks,
    I have looked at the Classic features manual, looking for info on downloading *video podcasts* and Vodcasts into itunes, and playing them in ipod Classic. I couldn't get from the manual what I needed to understand the video issue . Does anyone have any advice, anything that I should know, or do, before downloading and playing these two types of video? I have read bits here and there about having to chang format of videos for successful download to itunes and playback on Classic. I am not techy enough to understand. (Just as info, I downloaded "Best of YouTube." It promptly locked itunes forever. I couldn't even uninstall itunes and reinstall. I had to create another User on my computer, in order to get itunes again.)
    Questions:
    1) Do I have to do some sort of conversion to download and play *video podcasts* and Vodcasts?
    2) Are *video podcasts* different from Vodcasts? Or are they the same format--just named differently? Is there anything that I need to do differently in the download process and playback of these two types of video? (FYI--The Bill Moyers show on PBS is where I was confronted with the *Vodcast.
    Thank you
    Randy

    you don't need additional tools to load the podcast or video podcast to your ipod, excepting an ipod manager like itunes, floola or juice.
    Just provide the feed into the ipod manager that you use and you are done. Probably the simplest option is to go with itunes. You need an internet connection though.

    EDIT: Well, Juice is not really an ipod manager, but a podcast manager/receiver

  • Problems with TED video podcast in ipod classic 80gb

    I have a lot of TED video podcast on my itunes on PC but i can't listen and view it on my ipod, i've red somewhere that video podcast with 46kbps are no longer supported by ipod classic? is that right?
    there are any solutions?
    please help me, i'm really interested in it

    Yes, I'm still stuck too.
    Some of my TED videos showed up in iTunes under "movies" when I migrated to a new computer; likely iTunes found the native files.  These movies play fine but re-subscribing to the TED video podcast and trying to play them under "podcasts" on my iPod Classic (120 gb), they still won't play (screen goes black for about 1 sec, then it skips to the next podcast...repeat until entire list is done).
    I saw someone post about a "convert to iPod", but I can't find that option in iTunes (windows 8, iTunes 11)
    Thoughts?

  • My daughter has accidentally deleted all videos from her ipod nano - is there a way of retreiving them?

    my daughter has accidentally deleted all her videos on her ipod nano - is there any way of retreiving them?

    If your daughter owns a 5G Nano (the one with the camera built-in) and she deleted her recorded videos, I'm afraid you are out of luck. There is a small chance that some expensive data recovery solutions can recover some of that, but again the chances are slim.

  • Help! Ipod 1.3 won't play video podcasts on Ipod Video

    Help! I just upgraded to Ipod version 1.3 on my Ipod 5th generation video Ipod. The upgrade downloaded and loaded fine and the Ipod rebooted and connected to Itunes. Itunes updated some new video podcasts and I got an error message the the videos from "The New Yorker Animated Cartoons." Neither the 3/13/08 or 3/14/08 podcasts would work and gave ther error that the video would not play on my Ipod. I next tried reloading the 3/7/08 video which used to work on my Ipod and it failed as well. I'm afraid that many other podcasts may fail as they get downloaded.
    It seems likely that this is a problem with the 1.3 firmware. Can I get some help to get things working?
    Thanks
    Ken West

    I don't know if this link, from Apple, will solve your problems but at least for now, I am able to see the video in podcasts. The second to the last sentence was what helped me. Good luck. Fujishu
    FROM THE APPLE LINK: problem--iPod plays audio but not videos, movies, or TV shows
    Last Modified on: January 26, 2007

    If the audio for movies plays through the headphones and you see "Now Playing" on the iPod screen with a progress bar, but the video does not appear on the iPod screen, then you may have the TV Out video setting turned on.
    To change your TV Out setting so you can view video with your sound:
    Navigate on your iPod to Videos > Video Settings
    Select TV Out to set it to Off or Ask.
    If the issue continues, make sure you are accessing the video through the Videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist, you also won't be able to see the video.

  • Syncing iPhone and ipod nano toi the same iTunes

    I have an iPhone (16GB) and and Ipod nano (4GB) and about 9GB of content in my iTUnes. IS it possible to sync both these to the same iTunes library on the same pc. All the iTunes content is on the iPhone but it is too much for iPod nano. I use the two for different things for eg: the nano has nike Plus on it and I also use it for gym etc
    in Effect, can you have 2 different libraries to sync with different ipods on the same PC and iTunes

    Yes, you can use multiple devices with one library, I use 2 regular iPods and a shuffle (I have a friend who syncs both an iPhone and a Nano, she syncs each with it's own separate playlist). You can for instance have one sync the entire library and another sync a selected playlist or playlists. iTunes recognises each device that is connected and they can each have their own individual settings: There are several different ways to use multiple devices with one computer, you can read more heres: How to use multiple iPods with one computer

  • Synch between iPad, iPhone and iPod nano

    When I buy music on ITunes from iPad, how can I transfer the music to my iPhone and iPod nano without using a PC?

    With an iPhone then if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded then it should appear in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone. For the Nano you can't, you will need to copy the music from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and then sync it to the Nano (and similarly for the phone if you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded) - you can't connect either of them to your iPad for direct trasnfer.

  • Why is the Nike   apps different on the iTouch and iPod nano

    Can someone explain why Apple put different apps on iTouch and iPod nano and call it only Nike +. There are obvious difference in the apps. I want the app that stores heart information...but the Nike + app on the iTouch only records distance ran. Why not make one app that does both?
    what is the deal and can I load the Nike + app that comes on the nano on my iTouch 4gen? 
    Will the Nike + app for the iTouch be upgrade to work with the Polar heart band and Nike + Gym?

    Yes and Yes.
    When I navigate to Notification Center in Settings from an iPhone 4:

    The only apps I don't include are third party and have nothing to do with weather.
