what can i do? please help me thx

Recently I have started having a problem maintaining the connection to my WinPod when I connect it to my Sony Vaio. When I first connect, it connects fine. I get a mapped drive and the do not disconnect message comes up. After about 15 seconds that connection disappears and I can no longer access th...

Ok so i'm planning to buy an 15Gb ipod (Even with the grazy europe prices...)Because my english understanding ain't perfect i would like to make sure/find out some things.My computer has USB 2 port but what makes me puzzled in the site is...do i need to buy an extra Ipod Power Adapter to b...

OK this is possibly the most stupid question ever asked. Ever.But I'll ask it anyway, :p How do you stop a track on the new iPods? I can pause it, I can start a new track, I can switch it off to stop it playing. But how can you stop it playing completely while leaving it on? Is this just me? My...

Hey... recently I ordered a new model 15 gig iPod from the UK online apple store, and now it is 'due' tomorrow; however, did I order the right thing? I am intending to run the iPod with my PC, which has USB, will I be able to use my iPod straight away, or will I have to buy something else...

I was just wondering. I'm an iPod newbie...I'm about to get one here real quick. And I only have USB 1.0, but I do have an Audigy. Will the firewire on the Audigy be good enough to use with an iPod? I understand there are various programs I can use to transfer files, but what do I need to...

used to work fine.. but now i get a lot of errors in ephpod.. even after i did several restores. So now i resort to using musicmatch. But anyways, my problem is that once i plug my ipod in, it becomes mounted as usualy, then suddenly after about a minute it becomes unmounted. Automatically it...

I'm planning to convert my Mac iPod to a windows iPod using my PC. But I have a couple of questions:1. I'm using the ST labs firewire card has anyone tried running the updater with this card? Did it all seem to work OK?2. When I run the updater, should I also have MacOpener running or shou...

Hi,I was trying to update the firmware from 1.2.1 to 1.2.6 , but when using the iPod Software 1.2.6 Updater and clicking on update it says : "Can't lock iPod. Please check if any other applications are using iPod and try again. "This happens right after I started the computer, so there can'...

My new ipod should turn up tomorrow and I want to be ready to start using it as soon as it arrives and I think I need a 6-pin female to 4-pin male converter. On my laptop I have what I think is a 4-pin firewire port, could somebody please confirm that the ipod firewire cable terminates with a 6-pin...

I know this has been a problem for a number of people but despite trying most things I haven't been able to get my Win98SE based desktop PC (Dell 4100) to recognise the iPod even just as an external drive. I've dowloaded Windows 98 Second Edition 1394 Storage Supplement from Microsoft sinc...

So here's the deal. I can get an Old (touchWheel) 10GB WinPod, new, for 199.99, or I can do the Dell.com thing and get the new 15GB model for a little over 300 dollars. Considering the fact that the new models supposedly have some glitches, should I just buy the classic model and wait a year...

I found a way to create a list of your MP3s:1. You need the Send To Extensions for Windows, a Microsoft enhancement to the right-click menu. Go here ( http://www.ise.ufl.edu/kisko/files/freeware/Powertoy%20-%20Win95%20tools%20from%20Microsoft) and download the files sendtox.dll and sendtox.inf to you...

I've ordered a 10iPod and wonder a bit how these things work because it's my first iPod. I use WinAmp to play all my mp3's that are in a Music-directory.I don't want to use EphPod or MMJB as standard player. I guess this is no problem.My question is why is EphPod better and how i...

I have a dual booted W2K/XP Pro system. Firewire card is the Belkin USB2/Firewire combo. I have one of the old style ipods.I installed the ipod software and MMJB in XP and everything works as expected. I thought that I would look at the MMJB alternatives in W2K to avoid any conflicts, but as soon as...

Hey all, I am going to vist a friend who has a Mac with firewire and the whole 9 yards. I am planning on converting lots of albums to mp3 and loading up my 30 gigger so I will have lots of music to give him! I am not going to install these through ephod but by using the Ipod as a harddrive. He wou...

Hello gang, I just recently bought a new 10GB iPod and I have a question. Okay, when I plug the iPod into the Firewire port, Windows XP Pro sees the 'Pod and sets it up as a removable drive. In addition, MusicMatch sees it and I can transfer music to the 'Pod. However, on the 'Pod its...

Have anyone seen this yet? (Its the Philips hdd100) http://www.audio.philips.com/betatest_HDD100.aspIt seems to rise above ALL the other potential IPod killers out there, plus, it is a pc native player. Still the navigation system seems like a rip-off of the Ipod. What do you guys think?...

i've noticed that whenever i try to read the text files which i've loaded on my v3 ipod (by copying *.txt files to the "notes" directory when the pod is in hdd mode), the ipod has to spin up its hard disk and it's really slow to move back and forth between files...does anyone know of...

posted this before in another section.. thought it might be more relevant here. do give your comments..well i have the new ipod v2(or v3 as some might say... to save on the confusion i'm just gonna call it the dockpod) and being a win98se user, knew from the start that i wouldn't be able t...

Hello all,I just recieved my new 30gig Ipod. I have a bit of a problem here that I am not sure how to deal with. I have a PC, not a Mac. I now have both a 20gig and 30gig Ipod. Do I have to uninstall the old software and install the software that came with my 30gb? And if I do have to do this,...

Ok, here's what happened. Our computer needed reformatting, so we did [Freaking corrupt windows], and during the reformat, I, obviously, lost the MMJB that was on the HD. And somehow, I also managed to lose the disc that came with my iPod, so I dont know what to do. I seem to be unable to put a...

I am about to buy 30gb Ipod operating with windows XP. Is there anyway I can transfer music between my two computers using the Ipod? Any software available for this task?

I have a problem that i described in the old forum. IPod: 10G (old Verson) OS: Windows XP Problem: Ipod updater can't finish update.

i was given the newly designed ipod as a gift yesterday. however my computer is running windows 98, which is of course not compatible with the software included with the ipod. are there any alternative softwares i can use besides XPlay<<which i have downloaded but kept giving me the message to...

I'm a new Ipod user (and love it!) and would like to get one for my 17 yr old daughter. Is it easy enought to have 2 WinPods on 1 computer with separate music files? I use MMJB 7.1. Thanks for the help.:)

I disconnect my new 30 iPod when it said "Do not disconnect". I did not know that I had to eject the iPod first. Have I done some major damage to my iPod?? Help!!

Long story short, all of my music is now ONLY on my IPOD. I have tried to upload it from the IPOD back onto my computer but have not been able to.I have downloaded all the songs into my MusicMatch library but it says I have to be CONNECTED to the Ipod if I want to listen to them.I have tried to go t...

I recently bought a second generation 10GB MAC iPod and tried to convert it to a Windows version using the Windows 1.2.6 iPod updater. The restore was not successful as I got error messages such as "firmware update failure; disk write error" and "can't lock iPod. Please check if any other app...

hi, I am new and hope you can help. I was given a mac ipod as a gift, but have a windows computer. Can this work, or do I need to buy an IPOD for windows. thanks in advance for the help Amy

After having trouble getting www.audible.com books to work correctly with my new Ipod, I now seem to have discovered the solution. The Audible folks said that the use of Audible Manager to activate and access the new Ipod requires the use of Music Match Jukebox, which many of us have tried to avoid....

I have the 10GB new iPod and I must say that I am disappointed by the sound quality. The bass sounds like it's connected to a cheap subwoofer that shakes horribly and when the treble gets high/loud the sound comes out scratchy. My mp3's are 192 bit rate. Is anybody else having this prob...

In a purely hypothetical situation.. (honest :rolleyes: ) If a new (with the dock port) iPod (10Gb version, if it matters) has it's hard disk formatted.. how is it possible to reinstall the software?According to the user manual i "...may need to restore iPod's software. To download the iP...

Is there any program to make an Ipod have the same playlists and songs from another. I had bought a 10gb Ipod and i filled it so i bought a 20gb and now i want to transfer the 10gb to the 20gb without using Xplay to remake all those playlists and mixes. If you can help please do!!!

Dumb question, but I don't want to cause problems for a trivial reason. How do I change the name oif the ipod? Is it as easy as changing the name of the drive volume in Windows Explorer/My Computer? If I change it, what effect will that have on MMJB syncing? Thanks!!!

I had a new 10gb ipod and was getting about 4mbytes per second. The my dad got a 15gb and VERY nicely swapped with me since he was only after the accessories. And when i plugged the new 15gb ipod in, my transfer speeds have increased to between 4.5 and 5So there is a definate difference there. Also...

I tried using CDEX, and the psytel thing it has, and then for the codec part that you have to specify the path to, I used the aacenc_mpeg4.exe that the guy who made sveta packaged with the latest build (more on that later). I get files that have actual size relative to their length, but when I play...

Hello there all. First of all - I've been all over the web trying to fix this problem (which I'll explain in a moment). I've spent hours messing with this problem - so any help would be really, really appreciated. The problem is this: I have a Mac, 5gig iPod that I want to make wo...

How can you display mp3 files (with unicode characters) in iPod. I've tried to search here and old forum. No body seems to have this problem.I use window laptops and have 15GB iPod. I can see the unicode fine in xplay (window explorer view/mode). I transfered files without any problems. It...

Here's the setup, I have a computer at home and a computer at work. I would like it very much if there were some way to keep both systems synced up using the iPod. Here's what I'm talking about, let's say I rip a new CD at home and add it to my music library in MMJB and then sync...

IS the only thing extra, the software and the 4 to 6 FW adaptor? What is that for, and what is it worth?

I just got my first ipod and it was a mac. I followed the instructions to flash the bios and format it as a windows ipod and it seemed to hang. After about 1/2 hour I disconnected it and tried several times again. All I get is it boots to the apple icon and then just the folder appears. What do...

Hi!Well it's not really a big problem, but in the About screen on my iPod it says that I have 8.1 gb space available, but that's clearly wrong. In Ephpod (and in windows it says something like 6.3 gb available).When I load or delete songs on the iPod it doesn't change the 'availa...

I have a 15GB iPod and am using Ephpod on my WinXp computer. There is an option to "christen" the iPod in Ephpod. It changes the name of the iPod in that program, but the name of the iPod never changes in the "About" screen on the iPod. How can I change the name on the iPod? Thanks.
