Stupid Tech! AKA, anybody have an Ipod Touch?

'kay, so, I recently treated myself to one, but find I'm having trouble geting it to either get or play TV shows and videos.

I download and convert them in Itunes, but when I sync up nothing shows on my Ipod. Music, I finally managed to stop it from wanting to sync everything over, but vids are still a problem.

Anybody able to help, perchance?

Not sure I can help, but I did just get myself an IPOD touch a couple of weeks ago. I have not tried to download any music or Vids to it yet though. I am still trying to set up my new laptop that I got at the same time.

Hey there best thing I can suggest is to try to reset the itouch... Had a similar problem with my Ipod not showing things up but when I reset it everything appeared.

All else fails could try contacting apple and see what they suggest?

Good luck!

Hiya Ste.

Congrats on the touch ... I've had mine for 12 months and I still love it!! Of course Josh knows how to use it better than I do .. and yeah, I've had him show me how to do a couple of things..

Next on my list is the iPhone ... my birthday is in a couple of weeks and I hit the big 35, so I think I can convince Flash to get me one ...

Now, to your question:

Check your music playlists, perhaps the file went in there? hey -- it *might* happen. Just do a "get file info" on iTunes to check what format it is...

If you have eveything backed up in iTunes, just do a restore ... sometimes that does the trick too.

I've only done a restore once, and it seems to solve any icky problem I've encountered.

Good luck!!

SJ

I love my iPod Touch. I do know what you mean about music. It took a while but I figured it out how to stop the thing syncing everything.

Never did with videos, audiobooks, music, games and apps, yes. It might be eaqsier to buy the stuff from the Apple Store.

Well, I came up with a solution. Messy, somewhat, but...

First, I let it take whatever it wanted into Itunes to it's little hearts content. Then I deleted everything there.

After that, with a blank playlist, I copied over into the *whomevers'* ipod playlist the stuff I wanted there. Then let it resync.

I finally figured out that any vids, pictures or music or podcasts I wanted in there had to be manually synced using the ipod tab on the left hand menu, just above the dowload/itunes store ones.

I know how to sync individual albums, artists genres and such.

I use the program Handbrake to convert files (and even convert DVD files to Ipod Touch files) and it works really good.

I've converted a few Gatchaman episodes onto my iphone using it.

Ipod

Hi,

No I don't but I do have a idea that may help:

Realplayer SP Has a converter that allows you to convert your videos and music and put them on a iPod. The site is Http://www.real.com

It's a free download

Hope that helps
