Virus Tranfer w/30 gig ipod Video

I have read previous posts and i just want some clarity.
I have a 30 gig ipod vid and i was wondering if i put music pics or vids on it from an infected computer can i transfer them to another computer. I read it is possible if you are transfering stuff to the second computer as if the ipod were a removable disk, but what if i only use the 2nd computer to load my ipod (tranfer only to the ipod) via itunes? Also if i used other software to transfer my music, vids, or pics, to the second computer could i tranfer a virus then? I ask cuz at an internet cafe i burned a cd with vids n music. I scanned them before doing so and upon inserting it to a friends computer before transfering the vids n stuff i scanned it and viruses appeared. I knew the cafe had some virus that always inserted an exe into the folders i stored my files in, so i was careful, and thankfully so! If it is possible, then before doing any transferring to or from my friends computer can i safely attach my ipod via usb to my friends computer and scan it incase, without putting my friends computer at risk? Question is long and drawn out, but i dont wanna ask more questions, you know? Thanks a mill in advance.

i would imagine that if the virus was attached to music/vid/pic, then yes, there is a very good possibility that you could transfer the virus to the computer. your best bet would be just saving it to disc(cd/HDD/flash), virus scan/clean and then uploading to ipod. good luck!

60 gig ipod video, unable to view photos

No problem downloading photos from selected folder useing ipod options/photo. However when I select a folder of pictures from the ipod the thumbnails are blank, and when I select a photo and try to view it the ipod freezes, gets noticably warmer,there is a great deal of hard drive noise, and a reset is needed.
I haven't tried any videos yet, but mp3 files play just fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

Think I might of resolved the issue. Used ipod updater to errase and restore settings to my ipod, and used a new folder of photos and a resinc seems to have fixed it. I am going to add more jpgs and see if itunes will convert them for my ipod has well.

Cover For 80 Gig Ipod Video

Ok my last video got scratched to all heck, Im looking for the best case/cover solution for my ipod with out taking away for the ipod, anyone have any recommendations?

I forgot to mention that with the iSkin, you can use
the universal dock by removing the adapter. You do
not need to remove the iPod from the iSkin!
Which version did you buy? That have various models. Having one that actually allows you to use the dock without removing it, is what I've been looking for. But I can't tell which one it is looking on their web site. Can you point it out?

Sound on my 60 gig ipod video goes out when I play videos only

It works fine on songs but when I play a video the sound stops at like 30 secs into the video. It does that on any video I play also it does it when I hook it up to my TV. I reset my Ipod and it still does it. Any help guys thanks

The sound rate may not be correct.
Also, did you make or download these videos from other sources (not iTunes) and convert them for iPod?

30 gig iPod video freezes

I've had this iPod since they first came out. What it's doing to my now is while playing a song, it just freezes. It won't play any more, it won't let me go back and forth in my menus, it won't fast forward, and most importantly, it won't let me reset! I have to unplug the charger and wait until the battery dies before plugging it back in and letting it come to life once more only to freeze again in an unknown amount of time. The only thing I can do once it freezes is if I touch the scroll wheel and the screen wasn't lit, the screen lights up and remains lit until the iPod battery dies. It does this without any movement at all and I'm using a dock connector plug for audio and charging simultaneously.

Yes, I have. It did not help.
Just thought I would checked because you made no mention of it in the previous post.
How about a reformat of the iPod using *Disk Utility*? This article provides instructions on how to do just that.

Blue-ish tone screen on 30 gig iPod Video.

My 30gig has kind of a blue-ish tone to the screen. My sister has the same iPod, and my friend has the same iPod but their's looks normal and perfect. Does anybody know what is wrong with it? I think it might be from being dropped too much. Re-ply to this post if you are having this problem too.

Just to fill you in on some more apple crap. I called apple care to get a repair setup, talked to a man and gave all info he requested to setup the delivery of the box for shipment back to apple for replacement. Got an e-mail stating I would receive the box in 2 days. NO box after waiting a week. Called apple care again and they told me this time it had to go to a physical address and not a post office box the first man said was ok. So here I am waiting once again for a empty box to arrive. UNBELIEVABLE. These people can't even get a empty box sent out properly.

Keep trying to reset it (remember its Menu and center button for 6-10 seconds).
If that doesn't work, try resetting it but hold for about 30 seconds.

When will Apple ship 5th gen 60 gig Ipod videos to stores

I've been wating since christmas checking BestBuy every day for the 60gig but all they have is the 30gig.
Should i just get the 30gig or wait for the 60gig?
Thanks

You mentioned Best Buy and since you had no location in your profile I assumed wrong. There seems to be plenty here. have you considered on line thru Apple?

30 GIG Video iPod, Video Options not available - Please help!

Hi.
I have a 30 GIG iPod Video 5th gen, with the latest iPod updater software installer on it.
But when I look at the iPod preferences, when it's plugged in via USB, all Video options (manual vs automatic etc) are all greyed out and not available for selection.
And I can't drag any videos onto the iPod (even with the right video format!).
It's like the iPod itself doesn't recognised that it is an Video one, like it has a complex and can only deal with music and photos.
Can anyone help or offer advice?
Anyone had a similar problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help guys.
Even with the iPod set to manual, I couldn't drag iPod format videos directly onto it.
Did a factory restart, and it has fixed the problem.
And just a note; the options in the video tab will always be greyed out, when the iPod is set to manually update songs.
cheers!

Ipod video 60 gig wont turn off

60 gig ipod video won't turn off when i hold down play button...any suggestions, i already did all the resets and reloaded my music...

just to let you know, I had this same issue, combined with the fact that my ipod wouldn't automatically shut itself off either. I unplugged my ipod from the computer this morning and when I came back to it several hours later, it was still on. however, as things seem to go with me, when I try to duplicate the issue (tried to shut it off) it worked perfectly. go figure.
hope you get your issue figured out though. good luck!

30 GB Ipod Video not recognized by either Windows or Itunes

Hi,
I purchased a new 30 GB iPod Video (5th generation) today to replace my old iPod photo. It's been charging for a few hours, but when I plug it into the computer there is hardly any recognition. Windows will make the "you plugged in a USB" noise but that's it. The iPod will not go into "DO NOT DISCONNECT" mode, nor will iTunes recognize the iPod.
iTunes is updated, and I tried many of the tips on the pages here. I've also tried to reset it by holding the menu and enter buttons, and it reset, but there was no recognition. I even tried toggling the hold switch back and forth a few times and I got noting.
I'm seriously perplexed, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

Ipod Video and Alpine CDE-9852 Problem.

I'm having problems with my new Alpine CDE-9852, and my black 60 gig ipod Video (1.11 software verison).
When I first pluged in my Ipod to the unit I got Error 01, my first thought was that I needed to install software on the ipod, but from reading the owners manual I didn't see anything about that.
With the car still running I unpluged the Ipod and pluged it back in, it worked. I Went though the menu's, played all kindas of songs, no problems.
When I got home I thought I would play with it a bit, because it takes forever to go throw all my songs.
Then it just stoped working, getting Error 01, sometimes it would connect and get the check mark, but you couldn't control the Ipod, sometimes it would connect with the alpine logo showing my ipod, but when I go from track to track in a playlist it would crash and give me Error 01.
I have noticed that it would connect if I played a song on my Ipod but paused it, connected it to the cable, then started the car.
But it would still soon crash.
I just bought the unit from bestbuy today, I'm going to go back tomorrow and see if they can replace it or something.
maybe the cable needs to be repluged in.

Ipod Video and External Battery Question

If I am not in the correct forum, tell me. I got the 30 Gig Ipod Video. I am curious about an external battery pack that uses AA batteries to extend the battery life of the Ipod Video. I saw the Belkin but many said they had an overheating problem when using that one. I assume it must be designed for 5th gen. I had one for my mini and it worked great. My assumption is that the one that worked on the mini will not work on the Ipod Video. Any suggestions for one that works well???
Ipod Video 30 gig Windows XP

I keep all my videos on an external hardrive (to save space on my computer's hardrive) and now that I want to transfer my videos to the video iPod, I don't know how to do it without copying the videos to the computer's. Same goes for buying videos on iTunes. Can someone help me with this, please?
One possibility is to simply let iTunes use the external drive as its primary storage device. (I.e., store your "Music" folder externally on the external HD.) To do this, go to the "Advanced" Preference tab and reset the storage location. (Not sure if current material will automatically be copied to the new location or if you have to do this manually.) Would assume you can then use the expanded storage area for iPod compatible files, archive "master" material to CD/DVD, and delete unwanted masters from the HD. If you are using the auto-sync mode, you can then use the active "Library" to control what is sync'd. Further, you can then delete material from the "library" but elect to leave the file(s) stored in the "Music" folder rather than "trashing" them (i.e., keep them stored on the external drive as sort of an "archive") if/when you no longer want it sync'd to your iPod and restore it later to iTunes when/if needed again.

How do i transfer pictures from 60 gig Ipod to iMac?

I am giving a family member a 60 gig Ipod Video. And How can I get the pictures off the Ipod and onto my new iMac?

If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer" in Windows or Finder on a Mac, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
Disk Use.
If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.
iPod Photo Liberator. (both Mac and Windows versions available)
Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.

IPod video... what can safely remove surface scratches?

Ok, I know this is a really stupid question, but I just paid $400.00 for a 60 gig iPod video and the slipcover they gave me w/ the iPod has really scratched up my iPod. What can I use on the iPod that will safely remove the surface scratches?
Another thing... what does the "i" in iPod mean? It's driving me nuts.
Thanks for the help.

the slipcover they gave me w/ the iPod has really
scratched up my iPod.
Actually, it didn't. The slip case is as smooth as a newborn baby's face. What happened to you will happen with any case or even with your fingers.
Dirt can get between anything and your ipod and cause scratches. When you pull your iPod in and out of the slip case, don't grab it from the back and front. Hold it from the metal sides always. The same goes for any case at all.
Even when you handle it with your hands, don't rub it hard because any dirt on your hands will scratch it.
None of this is even unique to the iPod. I holds true for anything shiny, including Sony's Walkman and my silver cigarette case!
