Viewing iPod Menu on TV

I recently purchased a iPod Classic and l'm using the docking station for the new philips sound bar. I'm able to view video and photo slideshows via the TV out option, however l can't see the menu system or the album artwork on my tv. I think this is a shame as the ipod display is very good and it would be a great opportunity for them to enable users to display album artwork on their tv. I wanted to ask whether anyone knows if you can do this?

I wanted to ask whether anyone knows if you can do this?
It depends what dock you have. Some docks like this one http://gadgets.fosfor.se/ipod-on-your-tv/ will display a menu but it's not like the menu on the iPod and I don't know of one that displays artwork.

Game doesn't fit the screen, iPod menu sideways

I have a 4th generation iPod Nano. The problem here comes from the game Brain Challenge.
This is probably a very confusing and complicated explanation of the problem, so I've provided photos of the problem at the bottom of this post.
When I start Brain Challenge the game video is not aligned with the screen so that part of the game is cut off when I play. The game should be displayed on the screen horizontally (with the ipod held horizontally - as in Klondike), however my problem is that Brain Challenge is displayed with a vertical orientation (with the ipod held vertically), meaning the right-hand side of the Brain Challenge interface is cut off by the edge of the screen and there is a large black area at the bottom of the screen (see photo #1).
To make matters worse, when I exit Brain Challenge the orientation of all the ipod menus are askew as well (photo #2). With the ipod held vertically, the ipod menus are now displayed sideways, with anything at the "bottom" of the menu being cut off by the edge of the screen, and a large empty black space at the bottom of the screen. I have found that the only way to correct this and reorient the ipod menu display is to go to Cover View (even resetting the ipod does not resolve it). When I exit Cover View everything is back to normal.
While I have been able to fix the display of the ipod menus when this happens, the problem I described above reoccurs each time I attempt to play Brain Challenge. Maybe the game thinks I have a 3rd generation Nano?
I have uninstalled the game from my ipod and reinstalled it with no better luck. The only other software I have added to my ipod is Ms. Pac-man.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

I would do a Restore in iTunes to erase the iPod and initialize its software. Then re-sync your iTunes library as desired, including adding that game. See if it plays better.
If not, and you don't have any similar problems when you play any other games (or at any other time when using the iPod), you should report the problem about that game through the iTunes Store. You can do so using iTunes by selecting the iTunes Store in the sidebar, then clicking on your iTunes Store user ID at the upper right corner. This will give you your account summary view. Click on +Purchase History+. From there, you can find the specific purchase that has this game and +Report a Problem+ to explain the issues. If desired, you can request a refund, because the game does not work as expected.
After doing the Restore, if you notice other similar issues (not just a problem in that game), you may want to have the iPod looked at under the one-year warranty.

Rating folder in iPod menu

is there any way i can have a rating folder in the iPod menu?
What do i have to do?

There is no built-in feature that lists songs based on ratings.
However, you can do a lot of interesting stuff using +Smart Playlists+ in iTunes, and those playlists will show up on your iPod when you sync.
So, assuming what you want is to create (and maybe sort) a list, based on the songs you have rated highest...
In iTunes, select
menu bar -> File -> New Smart Playlist
In the Smart Playlist editing window, check +Match the following rule+ and make the rule
Rating is *five stars*
or if you want four and five stars
Rating is in the range *four stars* to *five stars*
or if you want any song that you have rated
Rating is greater than *zero stars*
or any way you desire, so that the songs you want are selected based on ratings. If you want to do something more complex, you can add a second rule by clicking on the plus sign.
Leave the other settings as they are, unless you want to do something like limit the number of songs on the playlist.
After setting up the Smart Playlist, if you want to sort it based on ratings, so that the 5 stars are at the top (for example), make sure Ratings is one of the columns in the playlist's list view (add it if it is not one of the columns), and click the Ratings column heading to sort by ratings.
Then sync the iPod to get this playlist on your iPod. The playlist will show up under Music -> Playlists. Note: Smart Playlists just act like regular playlists on the iPod, so if you change a song's rating on the iPod, the playlist will not get updated until you sync the iPod to the computer and that rating is updated in your iTunes library.

Video menu option is missing from my iPod menu.

I purchased a 60gb photo ipod approximately two weeks before the video release. When the video release software was available I downloaded it and the "video" option appeared on my iPod menu. A few weeks later I ordered my first videos from Itunes. After downloading the videos and updating my iPod, I found the video menu option was gone from my iPod. I have reset my ipod, deleted and installed new software, used the updater and have never been able to get the "video" menu option to show up again on my iPod. I can view the video in itunes but I can't get it onto my iPod. I just downloaded the latest iPod and iTunes software today and still no luck. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, were you able to fix it? I love the iPod and would like it a lot more if the video function worked for me. Thx for the help.

You need to have the 5G iPod with video for videos to transfer.

Movies and TV Shows Missing form iPod menu -- what's up with that?

I purchased my fist movie and TV episode last night to see how well I will like them on my iPod classic. I am connecting to the most up to date version of iTunes on my IBM/Win XP computer.
I watched the episode (Journeyman's first episode -- missed it on Monday...it's not bad) and was pleased. Then watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- also enjoyable even at the small size (especially the opening sequence which emulates "home movie" style in a very small frame).
Near the end of the movie, my iPod battery was giving up the ghost, so I paused the movie and plugged in. After waiting out the "Do not disconnect..." syncing process the main menu finally appeared on the iPod -- but the Movie and TV Shows selections were conspicuously missing from the menu! I have not seen my Movie/TV episode since.
They are in the iTunes library, obviously, but they simply never show up in the iPod menu. So far I have sync'd a number of times -- the sync settings were originally set by default to sync all songs, podcasts, TV Shows, Movies, Songs, etc... I tried "tweaking" these but to no avail. All syncs result in no Movie or TV Shows on the iPod menu.
Most recently I tried deleting all material from the iPod and then re-syncing all material back to the iPod (no help) and lastly I tried resetting to factory default settings (which originally seemed to work just fine) still to no avail.
When I select Settings >> Main Menu ... from the iPod main menu, the configuration screen also does not contain options for Movies or TV Shows.
It all makes me say "Hmmmm...." and leaves me reluctant to waste money on video media (though thank god my Tiki TV podcasts are still coming through just fine ... no Lala? I don't think so!). Nope, check that! video podcasts are not coming through either. GEEZE!
Has anyone experienced this before? Again, I've updated all iPod and iTunes software. Nothing "funky" seemed to happen to cause the problem, other than it conincided with plugging my iPod in (which kicks off the blasted sync process -- geeze these settings are a pain...I'd prefer the blasted thing to just sync on demand) >:-( Any help/suggestions would be most appreciated. Without a solution, I'll never be able to keep up with Journeyman!
Thanks

No, once a user has been created, you can't run Setup Assistant (without erasing and reinstalling).
What do you recommend for fixing this?
Here's what's happened:
When you first start up a Mac and create the first user account, OSX assigns it UID (User ID) #501. The next one gets #502, etc. Those UIDs (not the user name) are what control permission to files.
You can see those numbers via System Prefs > Users & Groups; click the padlock and enter your Admin password, then select an account and right-click it, and select Advanced Options. Do not change anything on that window.
So . . . assume your old iMac had a user 501 with the data you want; it's identified that way on the backups.
When the Apple Store started up your new Mac, and created their account, it became #501.
When you used Migration Assistant to transfer the 501 account from the iMac's backups, OSX copied everything there "as is" except it had to change the 501 to 502.
The new 502 account has all the right permissions to things now in it's home folder, but the backups belong to user 501.
Have you added much to the Mac since you did the migration? Have you done any new backups? If not, while it's a bit of a hassle, one fix would be to create yet another user account temporarily. Make it an Admin account. Log on to it and delete all the other accounts. Then migrate the accounts from your backups; this time there won't be a conflict, so OSX won't have to change the UUID(s).
But if you have done new backups, this won't work, since Migration Assistant automatically uses the most recent backup. There's a way around that, but it's a bit (or more) tedious.

The drop down view by menu (Song, album, etc) at the right side of the iTunes window is like a ghost. It flashes into view for a millisecond once in awhile but never lets me click on it. Anyone know what this is about and what to do?

The drop down view by menu (Song, album, etc) at the right side of the iTunes window is like a ghost. It flashes into view for a millisecond once in awhile but never lets me click on it. Anyone know what this is about and what to do?

Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

IPod Menu On TV Screen

Why can't Apple make The video iPod menu display on your TV screen? I plug my iPod into my suround sound system, have the remote for the iPod and if your sitting on your couch, after watching a movie or song or what ever, you always have to get up to change it. They went that far and you can't get the menu to display on the the screen of you TV. That is stupid that they did that. So now what?

Why can't Apple make The video iPod menu display on your TV screen?
Sorry, Apple didn't design the iPod to output the menus to your TV.
So now what?
If you'd like to suggest that Apple add this feature to future iPods, you can do so here:

What does shuffle songs in iPod menu as opposed to Settings do?

What's the difference between hitting Shuffle Songs in iPod Menu and cycling through the Shuffle options in Settings? I have a 5th gen iPod Nano and if I turn Shuffle OFF in Settings and then go to Shuffle Songs in Menu, it seems to turn Shuffle back on...So, does Shuffle Songs turn Shuffle on and off too? On mine, it seems to just turn it on.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi boulderskies@ck,
You may want to consult the iPod nano’s user guide, available here -
iPod nano 5th generation User Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1194/en_US/iPod_nano_5th_gen_UserGu ide.pdf
You will see (on page 6) that selecting Shuffle songs from the main menu will play all songs in random order.
Further descriptions of shuffle functions are found on page 43.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Can't play iPhone songs/podcasts in the car via iPod Menu?

Greetings,
I have an iPhone 5 iOS version 8.1. The iPod menu in the car (2009/'10 Altima) recognizes my iPhone and displays the songs and podcasts well. But when i click on a file i want to play, it cant play it and i have to do it manually from my iPhone. This is frustrating. This problem happened since i updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1. It was all good in iOS 8.0.2. I hope Apple notices this problem and includes the fix in the next update. Am i the only one who has this problem?

Never mind. It somehow fixed by itself.

Document Library view selection menu missing

Hi,
I am encountering a strange issue with the SP2013 document library web part. I included a screenshot (see link) where you can see that the web part of the doc lib doesn't contain a view selector menu at the right side. This is only available after
you go to the document library system page by clicking on the title of the document library. Does anyone have experience with this issue? Its very frustrating because the customer wants to see all the views at the home page of the site. Thanks for the
help.

You can still get to those views using the ellipses next to the view name can't you?
It's probably related to the way that SharePont handles multiple web parts on a page. Rather than handle item references for multiple web parts they've been stripped out.

There might be a typing error in the address.
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
Check that the ICX system profiles are set correctly for your Discoverer configuration. In particular the ICX: Discoverer Launcher and ICX: Discoverer Viewer Launcher system profiles.
When IE displays an error is the URL displayed in the browser a correct Disco URL?

Programmatically created calendar view does not appear on view selector menu

Hi!
I'm using the following code to create a calendar view for a list:
using (var site = new SPSite("http://localhost"))
var viewFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection { dateStartFieldName, dateEndFieldName, titleFieldName };
var query = string.Format("<Where><DateRangesOverlap><FieldRef Name='{0}' /><FieldRef Name='{1}' /><Value Type='DateTime'><Month /></Value></DateRangesOverlap></Where>", dateStartFieldName, dateEndFieldName);
var viewData = string.Format("<FieldRef Name='{0}' Type='CalendarMonthTitle' /><FieldRef Name='{0}' Type='CalendarWeekTitle' /><FieldRef Name='' Type='CalendarWeekLocation' /><FieldRef Name='{0}' Type='CalendarDayTitle' /><FieldRef Name='' Type='CalendarDayLocation' />", titleFieldName);
var list = site.RootWeb.Lists["ESM Leaves"];
var newView = list.Views.Add("Calendar11", viewFields, query, 0, true, false, SPViewCollection.SPViewType.Calendar, false);
newView.ViewData = viewData;
newView.MobileView = true;
newView.Update();
list.Update();
My problem is that even though the view is created, it does not appear in the View links just above my list. It only appears in the drop down menu of views in the ribbon. On the contrary, if I create the view using the browser user interface (not programmatically),
the view appears in both places.
Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
Dimitris Papadimitriou, Software Development Professional

Hi papadi,
I can reproduce the issue that creating calendar view using programming method, the view isn’t shown in view selector menu, and this only happens to calendar view, html view or other views are shown in the menu.
After editing the web part, disable the selector menu, then re-enable the selector menu again, I can see the calendar view shown in the view selector menu, create a new calendar view using programming, the calendar view shows as expected.
This seems indicate there is some issue in the view selector menu display, I would suggest you to first disable the view selector menu through edit the web part properties, then create the calendar view.
Thanks,
Qiao
