I was just wondering if the ac adapter would work if it was one that uses a firewire cord and not a usb cord. I'm assuming so, but I'd like to be sure. Thanks.

I will soon be a first time iPod user 5g 60gig and noticed that they will charge me $127 CAD, plus $10.77 CAD shipping to change my battery. Assuming the battery has the exact life span as it's predecessors how long should I expect my battery to last considering I will recharge it every night...

Can someone tell me if my idea might work with 5G iPods?1. I have a LaCie external harddrive, 250GB, triple interface (FireWire 800/400, USB 2.0)2. I hook up the LaCie to the PowerBook via FireWire 8003. I hoop up the iPod to the LaCie via USB 2.0 cable (provided with iPod 5G)4. Syncing iPod and...

I, like many other people I assume, am upset that my 2 month old ipod is now a dinosaur. :rolleyes: Is there such a thing as an upgrade, or trade-in policy? Have your ancient bulky, non-color ipod towed in and get half off a shinier new model or something.

Well not free but 50 bucks off, as you may know if you have read my nightmare customer support challenges with apple. That i received one of the defective ones and when i called them they had told me it was due to abuse and i was just going to have to deal with it. But i just got off the phone for t...

Just got a mini and am crrently using a 10g...what is the easist way to transfer music tia

Hi Guys, i've seen that on apple store can still be purchased an AV cable for the 5th generation... This mean that new ipod still has video output inside the earphone jack... and i think this could still cause again sound distorsion on piano solos...am i right ? or i'm just speaking at the...

I just received a new ipod photo 20 gig but i havent opened it on the news of the new generation. the person that bought this for me bought it over a month ago, and i dont think she has the reciept handy, should i just put this on ebay or something or will apple take ipods back that are unopened??so...

Why? It's pointless. Love my ipod photo but if i was in the market for a new iPod, i'd hold off for a couple of months until something better comes along. Like many of the other posters have said...if I want to watch a video i'll watch it on my big screen tv. Watching video on the ipo...

i was just on the refurbed part of apples site, where they list a 30GB color model still for $299. and thats refurbed. you think they will go through and lower all the older model prices accordingly? this might be my chance to get that 3G i've always wanted.....

I am looking to purchase the new ipod from amazon.com. Does anyone know when they usually stock the new items? All my searches are turning up old ones instead. Thanks!

I would like to make a request if anyone has the time to put together a short tutorial for converting VCDs into a format for ipod video?I know VCDs are practically non-existent in the US market, but I have a lot of favorite VCDs music from overseas that I would like to convert. Thanks in advance :)...

i know that apples return policy is 14 days. however, is there an exception for gifts? the iPod was actually purchased 2 weeks prior to my birthday (october 5), and i would have really liked to have gotten a video iPod. any help is greatly appreciated! thanks!

I was this close to buying a 20GB color screened U2 iPod, then I saw the thread about iPod Photo/iPod color headphone jack problems with high frequencies and low impedance headphones, took a glance at my Shure E2Cs, and dropped the whole idea. From what I can gather, Apple hasn't fixed the prob...

I've looked all over the Internet including Apple's site but I've been unable to get an answer to this question, so I wonder if someone knows.What I want to know is that if I upload a roll of digital photos from my camera to the new iPod, will it be able to access and play the little...

I've heard too many "rumors" about when the new iPod will actually ship out. Ordering from the website says 2-3 days express or 5-7 days standard (free). Is that from day of purchase or day of release. So when is the day of release? There is no info on the apple website. Anyone with and re...

I am planning to get the new 5G 30GB iPod but I have one concern.When I plug the new one into my computer's USB, when iTunes syncs with the new iPod, will it only update the iPod's empty drive, instead of erasing the songs already on my PC?I am a bit worried as I don't have enough har...

Hey everyone!I need a bit of help. I want to get the new ipod video but at the moment cant afford it. I am thinking about selling my 20gb fourth generation ipod so I was wondering how much do you think i should sell it for? It's got a fair bit of scratches on it and I know that I shouldn't...

OK, Video Ipod...NiceI have an old rusty (20G) 3rd generation Ipod,so time to sell it & buy one of these new puppies...I have all my music on my IPOD & have not kept any of the files when importing my CDs on my laptop because of its capacity (16G)...Am I screwed or is there a way of transfering all...

I currently have a 3G iPod, and am very pleased with it. However, I was looking at the new ones, and am tempted apart from one thing - is there no longer any way of having a 'wired remote' on the headphones? I use this feature a lot right now when travelling (e.g. on a plane), so I can s...

Hi There,I don't know if this has been covered yet (if it has apologies) In simple terms can you convert DVD's into a format that can be played onto the new video ipod. I have skipped through the forum I can see toppics on comverting mpegs, dxxx, mfi's and wd40's etc etc but how...

Can yo uuse the same remote with multiple docks?ie, if I have 1 dock with my pc used for syncing music etc.. and one dock in the main room used for listening to the music via home stereo, can i use the same remote on them?i heard something about the remote has to be paired to the dock (even though...

Does anyone know if the TV OUT while playing a normal audio file, will show the name of the song on the TV output or just on the ipod screen?

http://products.sel.sony.com/locationfreetv/owners/psp.htmlOn the same day that Apple debut iTunes 6 and the The iPod Sony released firmware 2.5 for the PSP. This switches on LocationFree which allows the downloading of TV programs and other video to the PSP. Similar in theme to the video in iTunes...

I've read on some other board that the iPod video cannot FF/RW videos, can anyone confirm this? That would suck, but still, i'm planning on upgrading anyways from my 4G (was about to buy the iPod photo).

My songs are in chinese, and my computer's region to Taiwan which uses Traditional chinese characters. (Under my "Language for non-unicode programs" I set it to taiwan) I'm just worried cause if I burn the songs and see them on a English computer, then the characters appeared messed up.So...

I bought my 20gig photo about a month ago. I got my Evo2 WildSide case in last week.Well, the machine is having trouble holding a charge- a common problem reading this site. So, it needs to be sent back anyway.Is it possible/ worth it to just send it back to Apple and upgrade to the video since the...

Photo's look deceiving. At first glance the new video iPod looks wider and larger than previous 4th gen photo iPods.I did a check of the specs and the new ipod is same width and length, however it's thinner and lighter, and has a larger screen.The 60 gig version is about an ounce lighter...

At 60Gb, there's better battery life..but it'd cost me an extra $152 CDN to get the 60Gb over the 30Gb.I'm worried about running out of space, but I don't know if I will. Can you guys give me some feedback as to how much of your iPod's space you use and why it's that fu...

I plan on getting the new ipod as soon as it hits the stores but until then my mind is left to wander. My question is, if we buy a music video will we be able to listen to that song on lets say a shuffle? or will it only work as a video file? thanks

Or is it a new line of iPods all together? I heard speculation that a new line of them will be coming out in March?...

i have some music vids in mpeg format which play fine in quicktime - but tried converting to ipod mv4 using export and it did not keep the sound - i exported .movs just fine - what's the deal or how can i do this - thx in advance

.mov? .avi? .mkv? Basically anything in 320x240? It might be worth it if I can watch my anime fansubs on it.

Just a few quick questions on the iPod Video. 1. What codecs will it support? Just general .mov or others too?2. Can you watch movies from your personal collection on it?3. Can I transfer my ripped dvd's home movies etc. over to iTunes, and what codec must they be in to work with the new iPod?...

Or do u just want all the other benefits associated with it. If you actually look at the development of the ipod line, this is the first one to really clash and do something different... relating to the screen size and click wheel size.

Well, this is one of my final queries. Is the new iPod going to scratch as easily as the nano? I am assuming that it will, since it looks like it's basically the same design as the nano, only bigger.

(To moderators: I realize this is not iPod specific, perhaps w/ todays events a new forum needs to be created ala iTunes for Mac or Windows - Quicktime for Mac or Windows)Seeing as most of my movies are in .avi format I need a way to watch them in Quicktime. I read in another thread about the 3ivx...

I was wondering if it was worth buying the ipod video now. apple always puts stuff out on the market then a couple months later they come out with something way better! do you think they are going to be coming out with an updated version of the ipod video or should i just buy this one now?

I have a regular wired remote that plugs into the headphone jack on my current ipod photo. would this remote still work with a 5G ipod?

Should I get mine engraved since it's free? It says can't be returned.. but I don't plan on returning it unless there's something wrong with it. If there is, can I then return it?Also how long can you watch low quality videos for?Also can you get a regular ol' computerless A...

I just ordered a 30 GB black ipod as my first ever ipod and was looking to get an AC and car charger. Just a question about compatibility... I found one on ebay that says it's compatible with "iPods with dock connector only including iPod 3rd Generation, iPod 4th Generation, iPod photo, iPod m...

Will this thing support lyrics like the nano does?

Hey i watched a clip from some site with old apple videos and it was when steve jobs at a convention (or what ever its called when hes on stage lol) was taking about how there were new video players and that it was going in a wrong direction for portable electronics....its very ironic what he even p...

i was just wondering if anybody knew when the new ipod will be in the apple store. Up until now and hopefully this will still happen, everytime the new ipod is announced the next day its already in the apple stores. does anybody know if this is going to happen for this one cause im going to go and r...

Alright, well my month old Dell computer "dumped it's physical memory" about 2 weeks ago. I find out that it is normal for Dell's to do this and they'll replace a disk in my computer. It turns out that piece that was dumped of it's phyiscal memory held iTunes with all of my song...

You guys think Apple will let me exchange my 2-week old 20 GB iPod for the 30 GB video iPod? I'm sure some other people are wondering the same thing as me...I have a feeling that they won't do it but if I'd known the video iPod was coming out this soon, I would've waited. As it...

I've got a powerbook without USB 2.0... could people in the know suggest some alternatives for quick syncing please!!!

im selling my mini to a girl i know with dock connector 2 year warrenty with best buy .. its in perfect condition no scratches never been dropped.. lived its life as a spoiled ipod.. so who else is leaving the older ones behind and getting a ipod video.. im getting the 30 gig ^_^ not for like a mon...

Is such a thing even possible?!When according to Colorware ( http://www.colorwarepc.com/Default.aspx), yes.Colorware's new "scratch resistant X2 coating" is their answer to the iPod's new all black color option Apple now offers.What do you all think? Sounds interesting.....

Is the dock connector on the new ipod the same as the one on the 4G? I'm asking specifically about compatibility with car chargers (like the sik imp). The problem with that is, not only does the connector have to fit, but the new ipod battery/power system must be compatible with the car cha...
