Yeah, the 2G is a great iPod. Great battery life. Unfortunately, I've been spoiled by the smaller lighter flash based ipods so I just want a larger capacity nano, no more hard dr…

Have you tried just dragging your .mov files to iTunes? I dropped one of .mov files on iTunes and it was added to my iTunes video library and played perfectly fine in iTunes so I'd…

I dragged my .mov files into iTunes and they play fine there, but they still need to be converted to an iPod compatible format to go onto the iPod. I go to Advanced>Convert Sel…

That program is for PC. I'm on a PowerBook. Anyone have any tips on how to convert .mov files to an iPod compatible format?

The problem is partially that there is no such thing as a generic ".mov file" -- .mov files are in reality a sort of wrapper. The actual video and audio can be in a variety of form…

Dead iPod? — #1

I tried to turn on my mini this morning at the office only to discover that it wouldn’t work. Thinking this was the result of a dead battery, I plugged it into my work PC. Not ge…

Take it to your local Apple Store, if you're nice they may replace/repair as a courtesy even though you're out of warranty.

Fear of Syncing — #1

Ok, so I have my iPod set to sync my address book and photo albums right now. I hate having it sync the entire music library. However, I would like it to sync a few playlists. I…

What are you afraid of? Even if it deletes something, it'll just recopy it to the iPod. It's not going to reset your ipod to the factory default or anything.

You don't need to check the "selected playlists only" box unless you have less space on your iPod than you have music in iTunes. Just let it sync. It'll be OK.

Fear of Syncing — #4

Well I'm afraid it will delete my entire library of music and videos and recopy them because it took forever to load them on in the first place, and I've since deleted all of the i…

Also, I only want it to update my playlists rather than my entire library. I don't like plugging in my iPod and then having it just take control of itself and scanning my entire l…

Fear of Syncing — #6

Yes, syncing playlists is not a bad idea. I do it myself, although that's mostly because I have way too much stuff to fit on an ipod. I'm curious about what you said about it takin…

Fear of Syncing — #7

About 2300 songs taking 10-15 minutes or so to copy. So it doesn't take "forever", but longer than I'd like to wait. I might do it though, I dunno. I just hate to lose the video…

The reason photos take a while is that they have to be converted before transfer. 10-15 minutes probably isn't an unreasonably long time for that number of songs, though. How many…
