  • Ipod video and Ipod nano on 1 computer

    Hello,
    I already have a ipod video and also bought a ipod nano for my wife. Is it posssible to use Itunes (7.3.1.3) for 2 different ipod devices?
    We use a different account on our computer, using Vista.
    Thanks!

  • Protected videos and iPod classic

    Hello,
    I recently bought a new iPod Classic (7th gen, 160 GB) to replace a stolen 120GB iPod.  When I tried to sync all of my movies to the iPod, I got the 'can't be played on this iPod' message.  They are all standard definition movies, and they synced just fine with my 120GB classic.  When I highlight the video (protected mpeg-4), it does not give me the option to convert to an iPod format.  But again, I didn't have to do this step with my 120GB iPod.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    If the message says the wall charger is not supported then its telling you that there probably is not sufficient charge to keep your touch going that means unfortunately that you will be best served by purchasing an official charger from apple or finding one through ebay the good news is that the quality of the ebay chargers is very strong but be forewarned that even the best will not work well in electrical systems where you have multiple connections coming from say a surge reducer or its like.

  • Using iPOD video and Nano on one PC

    Need help. I just got a 60 gb iPOD video and have been using iTunes on my PC for my Nano. If I download videos from the iTunes Music Store for my iPOD Video, will it cause a problem when I later plug in my Nano to update? I.E., is there a way for me to use my same iTunes library for both the iPOD Video and iPOD Nano without the Nano crashing because of the video content? Sorry, I'm new to this. I appreciate anyone's help. Thanks.

    If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library and in the case of the Nano you will not have a problem with videos as it is not designed to use them. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually. With the first option it will update everything. With the second option only the tracks in the selected playlists (rather than the entire music library) are downloaded to iPod when you connect. With the manual update option, you manage what goes into your iPod by dragging and dropping selected songs or playlists into iPod:
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically
    Managing content manually on iPod

    ipod video and ipod movie are one in the same

  • I am trying to connect my ipod classic to a tv and have tried many cables including the Apple composite AV cable.  No success.  Any thoughts?

    I am trying to connect my ipod classic to a tv (sony bravia 1080p) and have tried many cables including the Apple composite AV cable with the 30 pin connector on one end and three RCA connectors on the other.  Audio works but video does not.  The ipod classic screen says to connect to device when it is already connected. No success.  Any thoughts?

  • I have the apple univeral dock and AV cables and   can play videos and slide shows on my TV but not music How do I play the music

    I am trying to connect an IPOD classic to my TV to play music
    I have the dock and AV cables and can play videos and slide shows but not music

    Actually, i figured part of it out. When I'm playing itunes to my Apple Tv and Airport Express stations around the house, then turn on the mirroring, the itunes volume bar goes all the way to zero. I can bring it back up manually, and it will play on Apple TV, but it won't broadcast to multiple Airport Express speakers, the way it was doing before I turned on mirroring. It seems that mirroring turns off the airport express stations.

  • Iphone 3gs no video to tv with apple cables and dock

    i have a 80gig classic 5th gen which i use with the apple component dock and cables to watch videos on my tv.however to get it to work correctly i have had to use a 3 plug scart adaptor for the connection at the back of the tv. discarding the component green and red pb, pr cables and only using the audio and blue.
    if i use the component connection as i am meant to then the picture is not very good and is in only shades of red and white.
    i cannot get a picture from my nano 3 gen ipod or my new iphone 3gs no matter what arrangement i use.
    i can confirm all the leads were bought in february this year including the dock with remote - all as detailed on the website suitable for use with both the new iphone and nano 3 gen.
    i have checked and tried all the various combinations of the settings and connections to no avail.
    i was going to buy a new classic 160gig but im now afraid if i do it wont work.
    can anyone on this forum provide reasons why the nano and iphone wont tv out as meant to, the only thing i can think of, is that the leads have been upgraded without being advertised as so - and if true is very underhand by apple.
    iphone, nano 3 gen, classic 5 gen Windows Vista

    Not sure what the problem could be, but have you looked at the manual for the ipod touch? Maybe it can help.

  • Video Out  and iPod

    If you have one of those 30pin to RCA stereo & composite video cables. Will the iPod app output a video image of the current song album art, or will the app only do video out for actually watching videos?
    I've got an interface I was going to install that makes me be able to control my iPod playback on my iPhone using my car's native stereo controls (it is done using the CD Changer port on the cars stereo). But my car also has RCA input jacks for composite video and audio. I love the MotionX GPS app and think it would be cool to see the GPS screen on my iPhone on my car's screen. So I was thinking of just using the RCA jacks combined with an RF or bluetooth remote control. But if I can't see any song information via the composite video out, then forget it.

    i believe the video out would only work when playing videos and nothing else. this is because it would be impossible to control the iPhone from your car stereo unless they created a complete interface to work with the iPhone, and the only way to do that would be to get code from apple and i doubt that will ever happen...

  • Composite AV Cable will play video and audio, but not music

    I just bought an Apple Composite AV Cable to use with my iPod touch 3rd gen. It will play videos and the accompanying audio through the TV with no problems, but it will not play just music. What's the deal?

    No. However, you can get a cable from the headphone jack to an audio input for your TV.
    The Apple universal dock also has audio out.

  • Apple Composite AV cable and iPOD Classic

    I purchased the composite cable so I could watch movies on my TV. Hooked it up according to directions and only sound, kept getting the message "TV Out Enabled" (Please connect Video Accessory) with the picture. It is connected just as it should be.
    Tried switching the video and sound cables to no avail. This cable was expensive! $50 down the drain? I also tried re-setting my iPOD and I even cleared it out and re-synced it. I would appreciate any good advice.

    I forgot to say. You can only use Apples cable. No third party cables will let you view images through them.
    That's not true. There are cables on eBay with a decryptor built-in. I bought one for US $8.99 from this seller. He has many more of them for sale on eBay right now. MUCH cheaper than Apple's offering and it works flawlessly with my 80GB Classic. My only complaint with it is that the RCA connectors are a very tight fit on my receiver. Other than that, no problem with the audio and composite video.
