What does iPod Classic do with artwork which is not square?

Hi all
I've made a good start on my ripping. I've hit a few obscurer CDs today where the artwork I want to use is not square. Things like... 650x563.
I just wondered what the Ipod does with these and whether it "rescales" them to square somehow (and if not, I wondered how they will look on the ipod).
Many thanks

Try it and see.
If you don't like what you see, simply replace the artwork by pasting a new picture into the artwork box. At the next Sync of the iPod with iTunes, the artwork will be replaced.
If you use Manually Manage for your iPod, you will need to manually remove the album form the iPod and then put the newly revised album back onto it so the the iPod then has the replacement artwork.

Ipod classic full with "other files", restoring not helping.

Hi.
I've read other threads about this problem on various devices. It's an 80GB ipod, 37 with music, 35.5 GB of other. I've restored it, and it fills with other files again when I do the new long sync. It's not enabled for disk mode or manual syncing. Windows autoplay opens when I plug it in, though, which is strange. I've looked at the ipod in Windows explorer and there is a folder with 35.3 GB of data: in multiple folders of 3.95GB. Those folders have long serial-number-like names. No music seen from winows explorer, but it's there on the ipod. Not even seen in hidden folders: weird.
Sometimes when windows recognizes the ipod on plug-in, it says the disk should be scanned and fixed. I think I did it eventually, although I felt that all tinkering should happen from within itunes.
I am not syncing photos, notes, calendar, contacts, or anything other than music and podcasts. my podcasts are not so many.
So I took a leap and deleted the 35.3-GB file from within Windows explorer. It seems to have worked: itunes and the ipod now shows that space as free.
I have no idea what all this is about, or how it happened. I'm sharing this to contribute to the conversation, since it's helped me to read other folks' posts.
Any ideas? Speak up...

Wow: got another solution.
CrashPlan, the backup software, thought my ipod was drive E:\ and was backing up my computer to it. Crazy!
In case anyone else has this issue: check your backup software!

any thoughts anyone??

Perhaps the reason you haven't had any replies is because there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod Classic.
I suggest that you begin by correctly identifying which iPod you have.

How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1

How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1?

You are correct in some of your assertions, Limnos but, if I were to follow Apple's wishes, I would have to purchase the latest and greatest Apple product every month! I refuse to do that. I understand that my G4 is old but, it does what I need it to do. To answer your question though, I purchased the iPod classic as a refurbished unit, about 5 years ago and had it replaced three times, since then so, there is no way for me to know how old it is.
From my knowledge of how the Classics work(which is extensive.) It is basically a hard disk. There should be of performing a low level format, plug it back in and the G4 should recognize the ROm and automatically search for the correct software associated with that version of iPod and load it but, Apple will most likely no longer carry the software on their servers anymore!(surprise,surprise.)

Ipod classic compatible with Vista Home Premium 64 bit

Hi,
Is the Ipod Classic compatible with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit?
I found out the hard way that the Itouch is not!
Greetings,
Miguel

If I could I would answer your question.
But I do not know how I did that.
Itunes has been working since day 1 on my 64 bit machine, only problem is that it takes half a minute to copy album cover art to song in itunes, the computer is hanging for 15 seconds before the album cover art is copied.
I just took the Ipod out of the box and connected it to the computer and it worked fine.
Only problem that I had yesterday is that when I'm intergrating album cover art my hard disk is doing strange things.
Just yesterday, my RAID 1 was corrupted by Itunes, first hard disk 1 was failing and an hour later hard disk 2 also crashed.
Was able to reconnect them into RAID 1, luckilly.

HT3964 What does a file folder with a question mark that appears upon startup?

What does a file folder with a question mark which appears on startup mean??

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 or 10.8 partition.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

What does the little cloud with a down arrow next to a song mean

I upgraded my phone from iOS6 to iOS7 and had to remove all my music to get enough space which is fine because I wanted to reload it anyways. When I opened the music app, thinking there would be no music there, I was surprised to fine hundreds of songs each with a little cloud with a down arrow next to them. What does the little cloud with the down arrow mean? If I click on it am I purchasing something? Are they songs I can listen to for free? I don't use and have never signed up for an iCloud account so they can't be songs I purchased because I haven't purchased any songs.

Means they are stored in the cloud and you need to download them.

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (windows 8). It synced with my old computer (windows XP) but not with my new one (windows8)

How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (Windows8).? It synced with my old computer (WindowsXP) but will not do so on the new computer?

Hi Lechwe,
I had this issue recently, due to changing HD for an SSD.
In my case, since the library in my iPod was synced to the HD it was not syncing to the library in the SSD, though they were the same (had the same contents).
I found there's this checkbox in iTunes > iPod > [Settings] Music, called "Sync Music". Mine was unchecked, I guess due to iPod being synced to the old library. I marked the checkbox and clicked then in Sync. iTunes asked me if I was sure I wanted to sync the iPod with the "new" library, i clicked yes, and the it started determining the song to sync. Since the library was essentially the same (just a couple songs more in the new one), it synced the couple new songs and that was it.
Hope it helps!
Regards,
Awlo.

Will my ipod classic work with windows 8

I am finally updating my Windows XP desktop to a Windows 8 laptop. Will my ipod classic work with Windows 8? I've seen a ton of problems from other users with regard to compatibility.

Do yourself a big favor. Switch to Windows 7. (Or buy a Mac.)

What does a file folder with a question mark in it mean when the computer won't start?

What does a file folder with a question mark in it mean when the computer won't start?

There are four general causes of this issue:
1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from the hard drive's location.

What does the little circle with a line in it mean when in edit mode? how can I get rid of it?

What does a little circle with a line in it mean when I am trying to edit? how do I get rid of it?

robynlwitheridge
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
From your description "little circle with a line in it", that sound like a symbol when you are trying to do a cannot do operation.
What exactly are you doing in your edit activities when you see this circle with a line in it? Is it at the end of the mouse cursor?
Can you post a screenshot of it?
If my first impression of what this is happens to be correct, then "How do I get rid of it?" answer comes from
a. defining what you want to do
and
b. correcting any mis-steps you are taking in doing that
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thanks.
