There's been many ipod threads and I thought lets make this the main one, where all the questions will go. It'll be more neat.

My iPod is seriously screwed up.

When I play the songs, it lacks bass and I can't hear the rapping/lyrics until I blast it up to full power. And even thEN I STILL CAN'T HEAR IT THAT WELL.

can this be about i tunes too?

got itunes 7 and i cant use it to listen to music cuz the music is all messed up =X

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?

It might be your headphone, because ipod stock earphones are *thumbs down. Try plugging in another headphone and see how it goes.




Yup Yup! It relates to ipods so yeah. xD Like awdwark asked, what do you mean by messed up? Screenshot of your itunes maybe?



You make me sound like a kid. lol. I think someone on soompi will at least have an answer and if not....well...we'll find one?

Hey! And what did you mean by as fun as ViruZ?

joks. But i still didn't get what that meant. haha.

Add an apostrophy s...

Thats as fun as viruz's problem!

^that should be a LOT more logical.


As for your ipod... maybe you need to format it?

is it true that if u delete the video files that u put in your ipod from your comp/itunes, it'll also delete from your ipod?

^It's true only if you choose automatic updates for videos

What preference is it to make the iTunes player appear in the taskbar? Like when you minimise the main window (while you have a song playing), it will sit in the taskbar and show you the name of the current song playing and buttons such as play, pause, fast forward, rewind? At the moment, when I minimise the window, it goes into the system tray only. I have iTunes 7 ~

^ when it's in the system tray, right click on it and select switch to mini player. I believe that is what you want.



and to make it so that the mini player would be stay above any other program, go to edit ---> preference ---> tick "keep mini player on top ..."

Here's my iPOD question. Where can I find the new iPOD Nanos (blue) for the cheapest price. And none of those "FREE IPOD" sites that make you and 20 other friends subscribe to something.

THANKS ~~

uhm. okay this question is kind of confussing so yeah. haha(:


okay anyways. when i got my ipod i didnt have my own computer so i used my sisters to put all my songs into there. but than my parents go tme my own computer.... but i dont know how to put the itunes on my sisters computer onto my comupter.. so now whenever i get new songs onto my comupter and i want it on my ipod, i always have to send it to her and its usually like 50-100 songs and i gets annoying. so can you guys help me!!

^ Your question is confusing...do you mean you want to put songs onto your ipod using your computer, but you don't know how?

If so, just install itunes.

u will need your sister to transfer all her songs from her computer to your computer. then u, yourself have to install itunes on your own computer, then put the songs in your own itunes. thats the only way it will work cause the itunes library is only specific to ONE computer.

oh. hahah thanks guys(:

Hmm, no, it wasn't like that. Before I got my old computer, I think I had iTunes 6, when I minimise the player, it actually appears in the taskbar (where IE windows sit etc) and has the play, pause buttons etc like I described in my last post . Now, even installing the old iTunes, this function has disappeared . No one had that function before?

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.

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

hmm. is it expensive? if not i can just buy it anywhere right?
sorry im not really good with electronics. haha

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

i got multiple problems with my ipod

1.) when ever i play my songs it always get cutt of in the middle or in the beginning making the ipod lag or freeze

2.) it doesn't connect to the computer well

3.) i alway have to reset my ipod and upload my music so it will stop cutting off my music

4.) everytime i plug in my ipod on my cpu it either freezes my computer or just won't connect

5.) everytime i upload my cds in there i messes up the song

i tried to sending it to the ipod store but i never have time...or the paitent to wait

YAY an ipod thread!

Okay I have a video ipod, and I don't know how to add videos into my itunes library :x

Like I managed to add a mariah carey mv lolol but then when I try to do that to other videos it wont add?

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.

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.

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

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!

videos last like a hr well im not sure cuz i never just watch videos, usually musci + videos,
for video fileds to work they need to be in .mp4 format I THINK.. not to sure though and u can covert with a video converter thingy.. google videora and u'll see one that says ipod converter.. cuz if u have any other format it wont function "properly"

serious?! an hour?!?!
hahah okay thanks so much for the info!!
gosh that just turned me off hahaha
i'll just have to wait for something that's better than an ipod.. ^^

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??

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

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?>

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
http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/index.shtml

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

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??

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

right click on your task bar and select like in the picture shown above. That should work, because if you wanted your "windows media player" to show up in the taskbar also. That's how you do it.



I did some researching for you and a 30gb has 3.5 hrz of video playback. But usually ipod doesnt live up to that amount.

http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html



Nop, because the songs are already copied into the ipod. You can find the songs in the ipod control folder.

i connected my ipod, hoping to sync some new songs & photos, and i get THIS! it's been like this everytime i connect my ipod to my computer, i had to restore it countless times inorder to actually sync songs into it!(even the songs that are already in the playlists). does anyone know what the heck is the 'other' stuff? and how to get rid of it?

^ have you checked your ipod ? To see what's in it besides songs?

If she has a copy of her music on her computer still, perhaps its best if she went ahead and formatted her ipod, did firmware update or restore? That should fix that weird stuff she has.

what's firmware? and yeah, i still have the music file on my computer.. i'm sorry, i'm really confused! lol

hey i got my ipod nano today and i went to the website to download itunes7 but when i tried to open it

i always get this pop up !

" \iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. "

please please please help me~~

I just bought my iPod and I don't know why but it wont let me install iTunes. I get this message:



HELP!?

firmware is the internal software of the ipod, you can update it with the ipod updater. The ipod updater has the updtate and restore function. Restore should fix just about anything

@nana and missmilk, both of you have the same problem... perhaps you should try to redownload it and hope apple fixed the installer. I figure both of you woudln't have donwloaded the wrong file so it was most likely apple's fault where they put up a corrupted installer.

It didn't work , something wrong with my computer I guess.

Another problem arose though xD. I recently installed Nero 7, and during installation *I guess I was a bit careless* and there was a list of applications that come with Nero 7 asked if I wanted to use to open particular types of file on my comp. I kept clicking next, and now the icon of my iTunes is some other pic other than its own :S.

I tried right-clicking on the icon, then properties, but the 'change icon' option is disabled . I tried going to start, then drag the iTunes shortcut onto desktop again, but the same icon remains *sigh*. Any other ideas?

ahhh....i get to finally use this thread lol
ok recently i updated to itunes 7 (well now i updated again to 7.0.1) and now i cant add songs to my ipod....like i do what i usually do, drag and drop and it should add.....but it doesn't....it says its doing it but when i check for the song it doesn't work. i can still add songs to my library though. ive tried reinstalling itunes several times and tried several different connector cords
