Working out with Ipod

I just purchased the ipod and I am curious to know is it too big to go on the arm while running?

Absolutely not. I've ran and worked out with it on my arm with no problems. For convience I opted to purchase the FM tuner controler so I could skip songs if I wanted to and adjust the volume without having to dig in my pocket for the iPod or go across my chest to click the wheel.
I was used to doing this with my PSP but it's a bit bulky to carry around for music and of course it would be a no go at the gym. My only concern was that too much movement would cause the songs to skip, but no such thing. I would recommend a case with both a strap and a belt clip just to have options. Good luck and enjoy your new iPod!

  • Working out with 30GB video

    I was at the gym tonight with my 30gb video ipod and one guy was saying about how you shouldn't work out with it as it is a hard drive mp3 player and not a flash drive... Is this true??? should i not run with it? What will happen to it?

    I have ran with my 60gb many times and not had an issue.. just to be safe you may want to buy an armband or something to keep it secure to your body that way you wont have an issue.

  • Working out with your ipod G5

    Does any of you buy armband for your ipods? Is ipod video too bulky to use on an armband when working out at the gym?

    Whenever I exercise, I bring my iPod with me.
    My iPod has been working for 6 months without problems.
    Some things to note:
    1) Don't use shuffle mode. The iPod has about a 25 minute "short term memory" cache. When shuffle is enabled, the hard drive can't use that cache. If the cache isn't being used, the hard drive is always being accessed and is moving. Definitely not good if you're jogging.
    2) If you're not comfortable carrying it, pick up an armband. Make sure your iPod fits snugly--and if it doesn't, add some padding to the armband or exchange that armband for a different one.
    3) If your iPod begins behaving strangely while you're jogging, stop using it for a while when exercising. If it behaves normally when not moving, you may need to get a different armband or invest in a nano or shuffle for exercising instead.
    4) If you'll be doing a lot of exercising, investing in a shuffle would be a great idea. It has no moving parts, so nothing can get jostled and broken.
    Sorry for the long reply--hope this helps a bit!

  • Help! iPod won't work - started with iPod updater

    Hi,
    I tried updating my iPod nano today as suggested. It installed and everything fine. But when I tried updating it, it gave me an error and I couldn't use my iPod. So I tried restoring it with the updater.
    Nothing worked. The "Do not disconnect" sign is up all this while. So I try restarting my computer. The DNDisconnect sign is still on but now.. nothing works. I can't do anything with it and iTunes does not even recognize it. I don't even have the iPod sign on My Computer. So I disconnect it, against my better judgement. And it gives me the exclamation sign and tells me to go to the Apple Support site.
    I do.. and I follow the 5 Rs. I start by resetting it. This brings me into the Disk Mode which is where I'm stuck at now. It won't exit even when I try restarting it. I've reinstalled the updater AND iTunes and nothing seems to work still. Everytime I connect it to try to restore it with the updater, it says Service error.
    Help.......?

    If you get a message with iPod Service Error please see if either of these two links are helpful:

  • Ipod classic (photo) and windows version not recognized by itunes on my macbook air. Iphone works fine and previously it also worked out with the Ipod. If someone has an answer that would be great. thanks

    itunes on my mac does not any longer show my ipod classic (photo, window formated). It worked before and itunes with iphone just works fine. Any clue? Thanks.

    Sorry to jump the gun, but did you connect the iPod via USB Hub on the MB Air?
    If plug it into the wrong USB port, which is shared like using a USB Hub, I would suggest connecting the iPod directly to the MB Air and not via USB Hub.
    But if you connect directly, have the iPod ever connect to iTunes, without problems, on this MB Air?
    You got an old 4G iPod photo, based on iPod Software version 1.2.1
    I mean downgrade to the iTunes version, that was working, with your iPod, but try the right USB port first before downgrading iTunes, with earlier version download here.

  • ITunes freezes when syncing with iPhone, but works fine with iPod?

    It's a bit of a long story with my iPhone/iTunes problem. In late July, my iPhone stopped syncing properly. It's an iPhone 4. Basically, I tried to add more photo albums to sync onto my phone, something I have done before. It began syncing, then notified me that it couldn't sync 'x' amount of photos. It was a pop up on my phone screen. I tried deleting my cache in My Pictures, still errors. Then it seems like everything possible has just glitched when I sync as weeks went on. It wouldn't sync music. The songs would appear gray and failed to play. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesn't. Now, iTunes freezes when it reaches the end of the sync and I have to ctrl+alt+del to close iTunes as it stops working.
    I took my iPhone to apple, and she ran diagnostics and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. She told me she couldn't run diagnostics on my iTunes because it's a Windows laptop and she's "not trained to work with them". She said everything seemed fine with my iPhone and asked if it was possible if I have a virus. I've had no other problems with my laptop whatsoever and I have a decent virus protector that we pay for monthly.
    I have tried restoring my phone twice, with a backup. I tried again WITHOUT a backup, and still, it freezes when it syncs, some songs are gray on my iPhone and won't play, and photos refuse to sync, period.
    I then tried syncing my dad's iPod with my iTunes, and it worked. I also tried syncing my iPhone on my dad's laptop, and it worked. So something is clearly glitching between specifically my phone and my iTunes. I'm avoiding uninstalling iTunes at all costs because I don't want to lose play count information as the majority of my playlists are created this way. I thought iOs 7 or iTunes 11 (now 11.1) would fix it, but neither did.
    Can anyone determine what the problem could be and how to fix it?

    the same thing is happening with me. itunes will freeze and then it wont put songs on my ipod.
    im starting to get upset since i just went out and bought a new ipod. thinking that was the problem.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

  • Camera Connector not working anymore with iPod Video

    Hello,
    I have a iPod Video 60GB which I bought last year along with a Camera Connector.
    The problem I have, is that the Connector isn't recognised by the iPod anymore. Even when the camera is on and connected at the other end. The camera is a Sony DSC-V3 which has worked fine before.
    But, I'm assuming the problem is with the Connector since, before the iPod would recognise the connector and show the 'connect device' screen.
    The iPod still says, 'connect device', when I go through the menu and choose Photo>Photo Import
    I've been tearing my hair out for over a week with this, with no luck.
    Any insight as to how I could fix this? Also, has anyone else come across a similar problem?
    Thanks and best regards,

  • My Facebook acct. has been hacked and now it's spreading to other parts of Firefox 3.6. I'm getting problems worked out with FB but think I need to reload Firefox 3.6.17 for my Mac OSX.4. Can you help me/have other advice?

    When I try to login to FB now, I get a website that takes over Firefox - WebSpy, or something like that. I already changed my email passwords. When WebSpy takes over, I have to quit Firefox. I'm not using FB right now, until I get this sorted out. It was sending out bogus messages to all my friends.

    Have you tried opening them in a Finder window? Also, you might boot to your Install DVD and launch Disc Utility to verify and repair both permissions and your drive.
    Sounds strange. I also have the Lacie 500G - partitioned, but with one being FAT 32 ...works fine for me.

  • TV Out with Ipod Classic

    Does it absolutely need the apple cable and dock, like the Apple Universal Dock, because i bought one the dynex and when i put my tv out On, and i play a video or a movies, it says TV Out Enabled...Please Connect Video Accessory, so do i have to bring my dynex to the store to change for the apple one?

    sadly yes. there are a few docking stations that seem to work, but I heard of no tv cable that works with the classic except the one from apple.
    but note this: as far as I know (not completly sure, but pretty much) instead of the tv cable you can use the apple docking station and just connect an s-video-cable to it. since the docking station costs exactly as much as the cable, maybe you prefer this.

  • Apple Universal Dock works with iPod Touch 3G right?

    I didn't see it in the "works with" section.
    They did have iPod Touch 2G though.
    So will it work for the new Touch?

    I got the 3 Gen iPod Touch and the Universal dock,I can use the dock to sycn my iPod touch with my macbook pro,so I believe the Universal dock can't work perfectly with iPod touch 3G.

  • Started with iPod/iTunes (home pc) several years ago. Added iPhone, iPad, laptop and office pc.  Have multiple iTunes/iMusic folders

    Started out with iPod/iTunes on a home pc several years ago. Added iPhone, iPad, laptop and office pc.  Have multiple iTunes/iMusic folders on all 3 computers -- using iCloud to access media on iPhone/iPad.  What's the best way consolidate songs, movies, books, etc prior to phasing out home pc?  Which machine (laptop or office pc) is best to use as the master host for iTunes/iMusic going forward? Don't want to lose anything or create numerous duplicates. 

    I finally resolved this... by changing everything over to a new laptop.  I had been running iTunes on a Vista desktop, and moved Outlook and iTunes to a Win7 x64 laptop.  Once I got everything installed, I copied the iTunes folder to the laptop, transferred the purchases, backed up the iPhone and iPad to the new iTunes, and then synched them.  Set iTunes to sync Calendar, Contacts, Mail, and Notes on both, and resynched.  Once this was done and I verified that everything was intact on both the iPhone and the iPad, I tried entering a calendar event on the phone and then did another sync.  The event showed up in Outlook.  I then deleted the event from Outlook and did another sync and the event was gone from the iPhone.  Did the same with the iPad and got the same results.  So this apparently was something related to the desktop or Vista; I never got it resolved on the desktop.  Not sure what it could be, but now that it's resolved I'm going to leave it alone.  Maybe after I upgrade to an iPhone 5, I might try messing with the iPhone 4s on the Vista desktop.  If I do, and happen to get it resolved, I'll surely post something regarding that.

  • MY IPOD APPEARS TO BE ZOOMED INTO THE SCREEN AT ALL TIMES, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DO SIMPLE TASKS SUCH AS GO BACK, OR SELECT A PLAYLIST, ETC. I'VE TRIED PULLING IT OUT WITH MY FINGERS BUT THAT DOESN'T WORK. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP!!! THANKS.

    I've got a touch iPod and for about a week now it's almost been permenently zoomed into the screen? I actually cannot get it to zoom back out. I've tried pulling the screen out with my fingers but that doesn't work. It's zoomed in on my home pages, on my music, settings everything! It makes simple things like deleting a number from my password login extreamly differcult. Please can someone help?!?! Thanks.

    Double tap the screen with three fingers to un-zoom.
    Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and turn this OFF.

  • All audio works out of dock connector with Apple a/v cable, except for ipod audio.  I get no ipod audio.  Any ideas?

    I have an iPhone 3gS (iOS 4.3.3) and an Apple AV cable.  This arrangement has worked in the past.  Now, I get NO iPod audio out of the dock connector/AV cable.  All other audio (movies/YouTube/etc.) works fine with the Apple AV cable...but, I get NO iPod audio. 
    Can anyone help me out with this issue?

    I have tried videos from iTunes and my own conversions.
    I managed to test my cables using a friends 30GB iPod and it worked just fine. I looked really good and I'm really looking forward to getting mine working.
    It is definitely my iPod. Both the Apple AV Cable and the cheaper, longer Belkin AV iPod cable work fine with other iPods.
    I will try firmware version 1.1.2 when I get home but I don't have high hopes. I will post the results for the silent masses yearning for an answer to the same problem.
    Any tips on how to smoothly navigate Apple tech support and get my iPod fixed?

    You can do an out-of-warranty replacement at an Apple Store for a fee, get a 3rd party site to repair it, sell it for parts, or get a new one.
