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!

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.

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?
Vaio Windows XP

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.

HT1296 Is there any way I can transfer the music from my ipod touch to my computer without having to pay for it? Itunes worked fine with my ipod on my old laptop. I am not willing to risk losing all of the music on my ipod to update to the newest iOS.

I really don't want to lose all of the music I have on my ipod touch. It worked fine with my ipod and my old laptop but I got a new laptop and now it doesn't want to sync anything except purchases I made on the ipod and everything that was in the cloud. The rest of the music on my ipod is from old CDs and I am away from home. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some advice. I also don't really want to pay for a download that moves the music into itunes so if anything is free and safe that would be great or if there is a way to do it manually. Again thanks to anyone who has advice to share.

You would have to purchase a 3rd party program ( not supported by Apple).
The ipod is not a storage/backup device.
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

Only have one speaker working out of my ipod shuffle 4

I have only one speaker working out of my ipod shuffle ?
Is there anything I can do about this ?

its probably the headphone jack on your iPod. in which case you will have to replace it, ether thru apple or do it yourself via ifixit.com.
hope this helps!

What do u do if u lock your self out of your ipod

what do you do if you do if you locked yourself out of your ipod

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

Upgrade to the newest version of iTunes first to see if that helps.

HT1476 upgraded my IPOD 5 to iOS 7.0.2 and will not charge battery. when plugged in gives message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this IPOD".

Just Upgraded my IPOD 5 to iOS 7.0.2 and it will not charge the battery anymore.
When I plug it in, it now gives the message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this IPOD".
Anyone else have this issue after they upgraded the iOS system?
Thanks,

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How do you make it not so sensitivity. when turned off set down it comes back on or when working out shirt brushes ipod and it changes music

You didn't say which model of iPod Nano that you have, but generally there should be a lock setting, that can be turned on or off, to prevent accidental changes in settings. And, there is also a setting to turn on or off a feature called, "Shake to Shuffle." It allows you to change songs by just shaking the iPod.

Is Apple going to come out with an iPod touch that has built in Wi-fi ?

Apple should realy come out with an iPod Touch that has built in Wi-Fi. They iPod Touch could be just like a phone! I think everyone would upgrade to it.

Yeah , but you can only connect to Wi-Fi if you have a router , which in my case , I dont have one . I already have a phone , but it would be nice for it to have built in Wi-Fi so I could use the Internet or Facetime with people ANYWHERE , even if the place I was at DID NOT have a router / Wi-Fi connection . They iPad has built in Wi-Fi , so why not have the iPod Touch have built in Wi-Fi ?(:

My iPad speakers doesn't work whit some apps, but works ok with my iPod app. How can I fix it?

Talking to yourself again ...eh?

Pictures With Your iPod Touch

add your pictures with your iPod touch

For most folks, it actually makes the photos smaller. It goes through some "optimization" to make the photos the proper size, etc, for the iPod. Maybe if they're too small, that optimization makes them bigger? My 162 photos, which are 219 MB on my computer, are 102 MB on my iPod, so a bit more than 1 MB for two photos.
In an attempt to answer the OP's non-question... in order to get photos onto the iPod from your computer, you need to select the "Photos" tab in iTunes when your iPod is hooked up, and select directory/directories that contain photos (or will contain photos) to sync to your iPod.
If you let us know what your question is, we can better help
