k can ne one help me...ok when i first got my ipod i used the cd given in the box to update my itunes and ipod video. when it came to opening the itunes some kind of licence agreement would pop up n go disapear. which obviously i cant open itunes without agreeing to the statements. i looked around on the internet for this problem n the only one i could find is this msconfig one. where you go to "start" click "run". write in "msconfig" and hit ok. then click "general" and choose selective startup. click"startup" and disable all except "ituneshelper and qttask".click"services" amd click "hide all microsoft service" and disable all except "ipodhelper" and then u have to restart your computer. which then itunes works but if i open certain files it automatically closes. and believe me ive tried deleting it from the add/remove programs from the control panel. and then reloading my ipod and itunes several times but i just cant figure out why its doin this. my questions are why is it doin this?can i fix it? and how? i have a second problem with figuring out the videos... and i have looked all over for someone else to have the same problem but so far no luck! here it is: i upload itunes and drag a video into itunes. i no it has to convert so i use the itunes converter thingy from edit and then preferences...you no the rest. once the converting is done i try to play it on my itunes and there is no sound and then i upload it to my ipod and there is no sound! how do i fix it? my file when i drag it into itunes is quicktime movie file or something. and when it converts its mpeg4 i think...i cant reali tell you for sure because i cant be on the internet while on my itunes!!!!argggggg!!!please if u no n e way i can fix n e of these problems...tell me!!!im desperate!!!!thanks so much!!!<3
So you are using quicktime pro to convert are you not?? Also, can you be a little clearer with your first problem because I didn't catch a word..
i am using cucusoft at the moment to download. but ive been switching around because nothing reali works for me. the first problem is basically i cant open my itunes ever since i used the itunes and ipod cd to download the new software. and i did the procedure right i no that. iuno its hard to explain sorry im so vague about this but im not reali sure how to describe it. when i want to use my itunes i have to do the procedure before i told u. to even have itunes open. and if i have itunes open i basically cant have n e other programs running. and bout the converter thing...do u have any FREE ones that u reccomend? if u dont understand the first problem i can tell u bout that later. i just want to get through one problem at a time. thanks so much for helpin it looks like u no a whole lot bout this stuff!
iTunes doesn't convert videos so that might be one of your problems. If you're looking for something free to convert video's use DVD Decrypter and Videora iPod Converter - Lethal wrote a great guide that is at the top of the forum on how to go about converting them. As far as your iTunes being a problem I can't quite figure out what's going on there either. I'd suggest possibly getting a pen and paper and writing down what's happening while your using iTunes since you can't type and use iTunes at the same time. Using full words and capitilization really helps me as far as reading about people's problems as well. (Writing like that isn't a rule, but it helps me quite a bit)
