new ipod video, problems Options

[Jdog1385]

my ipod video wont turn off...anybody else have this problem?

[lagos]

what do u mean it wont turn off? can you be more specific?

you can hold the play button for a few seconds and it will go into sleep mode, or hold menu and the center button for a few seconds to reboot it. other then that, there is no way to trun it off or on. it just goes to sleep. if these dont work, make sure your key lock is not on.

Take it back to the store. I don't have that problem with mine, though.

I would reboot it and see if it ever happens again. If it does I say back it up on you computer and then get a new one.

there is a system update for the ipod ... from 1.0 - 1.1 . it claims to contain bug fixes, so try installing that and it might help.

good deal, thanks for the help guys

there is also a very small pinhole on the bottom that u can press to restart it if im not mistaken. 99% of these kind of devices have them.

If you have the 60gig you might rethink updating, there are problems with the update that dont occur with the 30gb.

i noticed that sometime when in middle of watching a video it doens't like to turn off, i just normally get out of the video play a mp3 then pause that, then it turns off really quick. then i make sure to lock it.

I like to watch music video's on mine but I can't figure out how to just "play all".. its like after each video, it takes me back to the video selection screen.. I'd like to just have it either play all in order or do some kinda shuffle..

thanks!!

cool! But when you watch a music video, does it automatically go to the next video like when playing MP3's? or does it always go back to the video selection screen?

Thanks!

I think what you have to do is create a video playlist. Do that the same way as making a music one and they should play right after the other.

Does anybody else notice that even if your video is labeled as a "music video" it won't show up in that section? I noticed this before and saw that I had "Lazy Sunday" labeled as a music vid and it didnt show up in MV's or Videos so I just labeled it as a movie. I downloaded V1.2 software maybe this has fixed the issue.

didn't have much luck with those either.. I did a reg playlist and a smart playlist.. neither one would play the video's one after the other.. not sure what i'm doing wrong.

[Akira_g4]

hmm not sure what u r doin jaws, but i made a video playlist and it played fine, played one after another. i did make my playlist on the computer with the ipod connected, i didnt actually made the playlist in the ipod. that could be it maybe?

I wasn't sure how to make them on the ipod, so I made mine using iTunes.. so i have a bunch of mp4 music videos' and they won't all play automatically :-(

[Akira_g4]

maybe because they are mp4? my videos are all in mpeg form. i dunno sounds strange.

I thought Ipod couldn't play mpeg? when i went to transfer them to my ipod, it'd say "this file was not transfered because it is not in a format recognized by ipod"

[Akira_g4]

oh wait nvm they do have to be mp4. well i dunno jaws, somethin is up with your ipod

[Blakout16]

I saw the Zune at Target today, the screen is just plain beautiful, well.. similar to PSP's screen.. but gosh, I'm not into Zune's design..

[Jaws4God]

<~~~ is an idiot.. I realized I had the shuffle set to "songs" so i guess since i'd watch videos it'd just stop after each vid.. so now it plays vid after vid.. but I didn't see a shuffle mode for the movies..

just FYI if you have this problem, its the shuffle setting..

LOL

[Akira_g4]

mystery solved

[mneal2_92788]
