[official] Ipod Thread

One problem with the idea viruz girl, we need someone with answers and I don't have an ipod!

Sounds like a connector problem, like ground is shorted with the remote input or something. If you try other headphones or try adjusting the connector while it plays (Like apply pressure from different sides) does it fix it? If it does, you might be looking at buying a replacement headphone connector part... pretty sure its just a little chip you plug in.

Messed up? Thats as fun as ViruZ!

Now, whats messed up? can you listen to your music out of itunes still Can you add your music in one at a time to make it work? Is it hating your ID3 tags or something?

messed up like the music is lagging.. and fast at the same time >_>;; so it's going like 2x faster and lagging wen im playing a game O.o

[Guest greymoose]

how bout buying one of those usb flash disk and storing those songs onto ur comp. It's faster than the internet, and doesn't was your internet usage.

hmm. is it expensive? if not i can just buy it anywhere right?

sorry im not really good with electronics. haha

[Guest viruz]

^ it isn't expensive, you can buy them at almost any electronic stores nowadays.

From the sounds of it, the hard drive is probably going out. A full format might help, a restore might help the database become uncorrupted... but if your warranty still works you should probably just send it to apple asap.

[Guest YEHJIN.]

well i don't exactly own an ipod but i've been looking at the 30GB vid ipod for a while.. but i'm hesitant to buy it cause i'm unsure of some stuff.

how long can you watch videos until the batts run out?

and what kind of vid files can you put in it? .avi and .wmv?

and the fact that it's an ipod >< but iriver doesn't have big-storage video player things out... so i might just settle for the ipod.

[Guest Phil]

if i delete songs off of my hard drive will it delete off my i pod?

[Guest erniehkwon]

My IPOD hold switch gets stuck in the hold position. For three hundred dollars I'd wish it were built better not cheaper. It's under warranty but it's hard to get service out in the middle of the deep blue Pacific Ocean.

I'll never buy another Apple product while I'm out here! :excl:

videos last like a hr well im not sure cuz i never just watch videos, usually musci + videos,

i have a question about my ipod.

i have a fifth gen video ipod so it charges through the USB port.

i was charging it with itunes closed, and i accidently shut down my computer.

all the ipod did was change to the main menu again. i turned the computer back on and the 'do not disconnect' logo came back on.

when i shut down the computer, could i have damaged anything in the ipod??

please help! i dont want my new ipod to freeze and break like my old one did.

btw does anyone know if the fifth gen ipods have had any problems with freezing and breaking??

[Guest cpx3s0ul]

i rmb posting in here but i guess not...

i have an ipod nano and i was looking for a portable charger.... one that doesn't have to be plugged into the computer.

it's 'cause i'm going on vacation for a month soon to asia, and i was just wondering if i could bring one around to charge... but dunno if the power output is different over in asia =/

i dont think u'd damage anything just by shutting down the computer unless it was updating, cuz then it wouldn't have updated anything at all.. i think

freezing and breaking happens in all electronics O.o

[Genuine]

havin some prob with my ipod...

recently my ipod just froze while i was in the middle of changig songs....now it won't do anything and i don't know how to turn it off because it won't let me turn it off...anyone know how to fix this prob?>

[awdark]

If you hold iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause" or iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"

That will reset the ipod. With any luck it will start over (your stuff will still be there) and be okay.

A very useful website since I don't know much about iPods

My 5G video plays videos for about 4 hours continuously (and that's with me switching back and forth between videos and rewinding and fast-forwarding and all that)

So I don't know what he's saying about only getting an hour

-.-;;

yes but apple had a big problem with their 3g ipods with them freezing, and being unrecoverable. thats what happened to mine before i got my 5g ipod. im just wondering if there had been any changes

[Guest forgottenmemories]

Could someone help me with the ipod nano?? I tried uploading pictures onto the nano, but for some reason, when I eject the nano, I can't see my pictures in the photos section in the ipod. When I clicked in 'photos' it just takes me to slideshow settings. Help??

[Guest ktown]

i just got an update from itunes 7 and i believe it fixed the problem of the lagging and skipping when other programs were on
