Background Info: I tried to backup a bunch of files onto my iPod in disk mode. In the middle of the operation the transfer was stuck in a hung mode (the animated file folder was mo…

Use a Mac . . .

Thanks for the helpful answer. I'm really glad you took the time to spell that out for me. I plan on getting a Mac but for now I'm stuck with Windows. Tomorrow I'm going to plu…

Sorry I do not know too much about Windows. But does iTunes still run with explorer.exe hung? If it does you could use iTunes to eject the pod but leave it connected, some disk uti…

littlegreenspud, thanks for the suggestion but iTunes is also unresponsive when I try to hook up my iPod. I still can't figure out how to reformat the iPod's hard drive without usi…

If you quit explorer.exe and leave the ipod still connected can you run the iPod restorer/updater?

Nope, the iPod updater is able to run but the window is just blank with no buttons able to click. Basically unresponsive but in a weird way.

It's about freakin' time. I have been waiting over a year for this. Man, I am so stoked to get one of these... Oct. 12 is gonna be awesome!

A video ipod. I guess there will be an update to itunes? I noticed there has been no updated music videos since the Nano was introduced.

Apple has made a fortune these past few years off the "gizmos and gadgets." So much so that they've really dropped off some in the computer department.

And yet hasn't Jobs repeatedly stated that movies on small portable screens have miniscule value/replay value compared to music? Was that simply a rhetorical smoke screen designed …

I've heard rumblings that Apple is in bed with a major entertainment distributor to release "something" in October. This is it! The beginning. The plan is expanded Music Video o…

BBC News on their 6music channel is claiming that Apple is launching the Video iPod at the BBC in London Oct. 12th. Now either someone has got their wires crossed or they are laun…

I'm positive it's video ipod. confirmed by Apple's advertising agency ;-)

I dunno, i wouldn't want to watch a movie, or anything on my iPod, if I could easily hook it up to a TV, that might be different, but even with Roadrunner, I could get to the store…

It's all about HDMI output to your television...

personally i don't believe the video ipod. Steve said so many times that nobody enjoy video to go with a tiny screen. But he will surprise us from time to time. Itunes video store …

"Steve said so many times that nobody enjoy video to go with a TINY screen. " Maybe the click wheel will become smaller and a bigger color screen will be there. To watch videos, yo…

Two words: video out.

The lack of TV out is what discouraged me from thinking of a Sony PSP as a nice portable movie player. I may as well just use a regular portable DVD player which can do TV out. I …

Do you think they will ever turn the iPod into a horizontal peice like the PSP? I am thinking that would be the best way to control it in the event of iPod doing movies (gotta have…

Changing it to the horizontal (landscape) orientation would make sense because it would allow for a widescreen viewer.
