**The Official iPod and iTunes Thread**

[Fonya 0]

Hey guys, just thought I would make this one thread for all iPod and iTunes questions and discussions since alot have been popping up lately and this will cut down the amount of topics.

Lets start if off with a new iPod Fireware Update.

Version 1.1

This updates the video, nano and clickwheel ipods.

------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)

2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.-Project_2501, Me

I think its a good idea considering people post the same problems over and over again.

If your iPod freezes, reset it. Hold the center button and menu for about 5 (five) seconds. (This is done on a 4th and 5th gen iPod.)

Maybe we can get this stickied if it takes off. Anyone download the new update yet?

[EBondo 233]

I just did. What does the update exactly do?

[Jim A 4]

update 6.02 has a bit of mac spyware in it as it has iTunes make suggestions for new purchases based on what you are listening to in your playlists,etc

[Fonya 0]

Yes that is for iTunes. For your nano I dont think it has done anything major but for the video it fixed the lag (IMO), added radio(you have to buy the new remote) and if you hold the menu button it takes you back to the MAIN menu instead of the previous list. These are the ones I have found out already...Apple has released an offical lists of fixes it just mentions:

What's new in iPod Updater 2006-01-10:

* Support for the iPod Radio Remote for iPod with video and iPod nano

* Bug fixes for iPod with video, iPod nano, iPod with color display, iPod mini, and iPod with Click Wheel

These are the complete instructions...project missed one thing.

1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)

2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

What does the one-click thingy do, when i convert videos i click 'transcode new video' then do it that way and i think all the defalut settings are there and as for the model and all i dont got a clue.

[Fonya 0]

Is it a 60GB with the 1.1 firmware. Ive heard some problems about videos with those two.

[fedorov#91 0]

o rite sorry its a 30g with 1.0 some videos work and some dont

[Fonya 0]

Well then you shouldnt be having any problems. I just used the default settings and it worked perfectly for me. Try posting your question at iLounge
