this may sound dumb, but how do I get videos onto my iPod?

Keep in mind I'm 38, and I'm the kind of person who can't stop the "12:00" from flashing on his VCR (yes, I still have a VCR).

People always be like "iPod video this and iPod video that". I have an iPod video, but I'll be danged if I know how to use it for anything other than audio files.

Apple has a specific Ipod for Videos..so you have to make sure you have that. Secondly, you have to set up an Itunes account. Once there you can purchase videos...and then down load them to your
Ipod. I made a big mistake...in thinking I could download my own videos into my Ipod...but the Apple
Ipod has some kind of code that blocks out videos..that are not theirs. Now I heard you can do it if you have a MacIntosh computer...But so far, Only Itunes videos will go on this Ipod.

Mine was 500 dollars, and I took it back. I have a bunch of videos none of which will play on that
Ipod, so I took it back and am using my old Ipod now. I would much rather have photos and the songs I want, then have to deal with the Music THEY want me to listen to. Sucks big time, but thats the way they do stuff at Apple.


Should you chose to purchase their Videos...Its really simple to put the videos on your Ipod. Infact the Itunes will load it up for you, so long as you purchased it from them. Itunes does this also with songs you purchase. If you purchase a song, it will automatically load it up for you. Your Ipod should come with a disk. You put the disk into your computer..and follow the instructions for programing your
Ipod. Next...Download Itunes if you have not already done so. Once you have both these components you should be able to purchase songs and or videos ..and the Itunes program will automatically up load them each time you plug in your Ipod jack to the computer. There should be a booklet too that shows you were you can plug your Ipod into the computer.

Most of the Music I listen to I can not get on Itunes. It really sucks that if I want to purchase my kind of music, I have to get a card in "Yen" to get my music. Oh well..some day maybe stuff will change.

It's a 60 gig video one.

All I'd like to do is start to upload the album cover art for some of my music, and maybe get the occasional simpsons or famiy guy episode on there.

Having a movie on stand-by wouldn't be a bad idea, too, for when I get stuck on the ferry to Vancouver (1.5 hrs of BOREDOM).

just had some second thoughts...so go back to my first post..and you can find the edited version.

Until then, they just seem too limited. Unless there has been advancements I don't know about yet.

sould be automatically transferred when you update. If not, right click on the video and it will have the option to change it to the right format for the video iPod. You will get an message if it cannot be transferred over.

THNKS.

did it help?
