Xdoc and iPod Classic video prob

The question here is does anyone know if Creative will do a software upgrade so that the video portion of the ipod can be seen? Can the Xdoc receiver be upgraded via USB cable?, or does iPOD has a sofware upgrade so that the iPOD classic can be used with the Xdoc?.
If upgrade are out of the question why sell a product that is not compatible with the newer version of iPOD? Not fair to those that want to be always up to date with their electronics, makes no sense to go BACKWARDS.

Hey OfficeMaven...
I also have one of the newer DLO Homedocks and a 80GB iPod Classic. I only have music on the iPod, so I don't know if the video out feature is working for me. As for the music features, they all seem to be working fine EXCEPT I am not able to PAUSE songs. The Play/Pause button has no affect once the song has started. Do you have this problem also? Not sure if problem is with iPod or Homedock. I really don't care about the video, as I am using primarily as a music server. BTW, mine also doesn't display album art... a little irritating, but I can live with it.
Thanks
Larry

Creative lab xdoc and iPod classic video problems

I purchased a creative lab xdoc which connects my ipod classic to my home theatre system, everything works except for the video portion, for some reason the ipod classic does not work with it,the question here is if Apple is working on a software upgrade so that we can use the video feature on the classic ipod,it is a shame that people try to be up to date with technology, but instead we get stuck with electronics that do work with later model, only with OLDER MODEL, i don't see the glory on this, do you?
Any help or guidance will certainly be appreciated

The Videos are showed up front 4 months, but now they are no longer to be seen. When you star a video first the hard drive starts, but then it stops and hangs up. I have to restart it, starting with the apple logo....

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

HT1386 I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in".

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Backup iPod Classic (video)

I manage my music manually, as I use different computers to upload music (mostly CDs) to my iPod Classic (video). This means that the music on my iPod Classic is much more than on either of the computers. How can I back up my iPod Classic (without syncing!) to preserve its contents?

Its possible that the LCD display's ribbon cable was not properly attached to the iPod's logic board or was damaged upon replacement. I would take the iPod back to wherever you had it serviced and explain to them what is happening.

I have a new PC and I tunes had to be added from my old PC to my new one, now some of my music is only playing half way through on both my PC and IPOD Classic

I have a new PC and I had to transfer my I tunes from my old PC to my new PC and now some of the songs only play half way through on both my PC and Ipod Classic
How can this be fixed, I noticed also that on I tunes on my PC before purchasing a song I listen to it and now it is only playing like 4 seconds of the song and I have opened up the URL and it still won't work correctly. PLEASE HELP

Are these songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes? If there are iTunes purchases, delete them from your main iTunes library and redownload them again at no cost via iCloud.

Am having problems with my Zeppelin music player and iPod classic. The Zeppelin, bought Dec '12, and the iPod, bought same time, used to work fine but now when I attach iPod to Zeppelin I get a message that says the iPod doesn't support the accesory!

I bought a Zeppelin music player and iPod classic in December 2012, and all went well until I last synched the iPod with iTunes, and now I get a message saying that the iPod doesn't recognise the attached accessory when I try to connect it to the Zeppelin. I did recently update to the latest iTunes version-could this be the problem, and if so how do I cure it? All help appreciated.

It's still charging when you plug it in. That just means it won't play music out the speaker. If that's what you were looking to do, they have speakers for iPods.

Iphone 4 and ipod classic computer autorisation bug

Hi there,
I'm having some problems with both my ipod and iphone.
I use my iphone on my PC and my Mac so 2 machine only it has not been connected anywhere else, however it tells me that I have it authorised on 4 machines and so i have only 1 authorisation left.
My ipod classic is even worst, as it is only ever being connected to my PC and more than once it has asked me to be authorised and i think i have no more authorisations left.
Many times after a major itunes update the PC will ask me to authorise the ipod for this itunes library.
is it possible to reset this authorisations? and why is this happening ayway?
Thanks
Miky

I have Windows 8 Pro on my computer purchased from Microsoft for $39.99
I have the latest version of Itunes
I have desktop and the drivers seem to be installed but says "Windows encounted a problem installing the driver software of your device"for both iphone 4 and ipod classic 160gb.
The drivers are there and the actuall Apple products work but diagnostics in itunes don't recognise it. I''ve done Norton One/360 scans and no good. I paid Apple $39 dollars to fix and they said its a microsoft issue along with Symnatec.
I've disable the driver for Ipod and Iphone and reinstalled. It just says error updating the drivers and yesterday ipod worked and then did check for repair drivers and hardware and enabled ipod and iphone. Microsoft had a huge queue for 2 days and Apple don't understand windows 8. Can you help me diesel vdub? or anyone?

What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

Hello laurie0823,
already have ipod 32 gig and just go ipod touch 8 gig can i use both on same itunes account?
Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced with one iTunes account or library.
if i hook up ipod touch will i lose all of the stuff in library or can i sync library to ipod touch?
No you can sync your content to any number of devices.
Simply, plug new iPod in, configure it to sync with iTunes library however you wish and be on your way.

Protected videos and iPod classic

Hello,
I recently bought a new iPod Classic (7th gen, 160 GB) to replace a stolen 120GB iPod. When I tried to sync all of my movies to the iPod, I got the 'can't be played on this iPod' message. They are all standard definition movies, and they synced just fine with my 120GB classic. When I highlight the video (protected mpeg-4), it does not give me the option to convert to an iPod format. But again, I didn't have to do this step with my 120GB iPod. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

If the message says the wall charger is not supported then its telling you that there probably is not sufficient charge to keep your touch going that means unfortunately that you will be best served by purchasing an official charger from apple or finding one through ebay the good news is that the quality of the ebay chargers is very strong but be forewarned that even the best will not work well in electrical systems where you have multiple connections coming from say a surge reducer or its like.

Imovie on ipad 2 goes slow with ipod classic videos

I imported videos from my ipod classic to my ipad 2 with itunes. I can see my videos and create project but Imovie goes very slowly. Is it normal?

Unsyncable video? From iTunes? Meets iPod Classic video spec! Why not?

Lots of posts on this issue with plenty of versions of iPod but apparently no real answers other than "convert it" with third party software or iTunes. So, even though there are plenty of questions and answers, I'm going to ask it again but hope someone can also explain the technical reason why this happens.
According to Apple's iPod Classic Technical Specifications for the Classic, it is supposed to play the following video/audio:
H.264, up to 1.5Mbps, 640x480, 30FPS, AAC-LC audio up to 160Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
H.264, up to 2.5Mbps, 640x480, 30FPS, AAC-LC audio up to 160Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4, up to 2.5Mbps, 640x480, 30FPS, AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Fair enough. So I download a video from the iTunes Store and, using Quick Time "inspector", it reports the following specs for the video:
H.264, 1.05Mbps, 640x480, 21.96 FPS, AAC, 44.100kHz, Stereo, mp4. ALL of which are at or below the specifications above.
So, why is this video "out of spec" and can not be synchronized much less played on the iPod Classic especially when it was downloaded from iTunes??
Someone please explain why this fails.
Thank you for the help,
Kevin

Double check to make sure podcasts are configured to sync to your device from under the iPod's Podcast configuration tab.
To access the Podcasts tab for your iPod, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the Summary tab. Along the top you should see a Podcasts tab, so go ahead and click on it. Here you can configure how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.
If you do make any changes to do this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to apply the update changes to your device.
Otherwise, are you getting any error messages when you sync your iPod Classic with iTunes?

Both iPod Touch and iPod Classic left side of stereosound stopped working

I have used my iPod Touch with Adidas Sennheiser earphones in the gym for 1+ years and suddenly
last week the left side of my earphones stopped working. I tried other earphones and still the left side didn't work
so I borrowed my dad's iPod Classic. The (Adidas) earphones worked fine for a week, but now suddenly the left
side stopped working again! This can't be coincidence.
Do you think that my earphones destroyed both my iPods? They both don't have warranty anymore...

First try the headphones in another device but first look at the plug for abnormalities that could damage the headphone jack in the iPod.
If confrmed that the headphnes work OK
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

Ipod Touch and Ipod Classic and iTunes

I have owned an Apple iPod Classic for a couple of years now and have a number of albums in my library (6.5GB). Today I ordered a new iPod Touch and it suddenly occurred to me that I might have problems letting both of these devices use the same iTunes program on my computer. For example, I think I want to keep all the music on my old iPod to play in my car and on my stereo, but I will want to thin down that list for the iPod Touch so that I can use the video, photo and other capabilities. Will this be a problem? If not how do I make both iPods use the same library? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I do as fizgog says and just use multiple playlists (and folders of playlists) for different iPods. That way even if I have three iPods connected to the iTunes at once I can see which one is getting what content.
Here are the full details of three methods to use one iTunes library with multiple iPods:

IPod Classic video stops when plugged into external speakers

Whenever I'm playing video and plug my iPod Classic into external speakers (doesn't matter the speakers, it happens with all of them), the video stops playing and the screen behaves as if I'd pressed the "Menu" button. Extremely annoying when playing video playlists.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yep, it's through the dock. I don't get why Apple keeps "updating" and taking away features. It happened when at first you could shuffle "songs" and "videos", and the videos would play as such. Now they play as "songs", only audio without video.
