Can't download on my Chinese version Ipod... help!

amy22 · #1 (**permalink**) December 30th, 2008

I bought this ipod on ebay. I was able to download music no problem, but no video. So I took off the music, assuming that it was too full and tried video only. No success. I also had 'ended sync parternship' on windows media player. Now I can't get anything on my Ipod. It keeps telling me I have a format error!!
I've redownloaded windows media player and limewire.. still no success. Any ideas???

I don't know if this will help or not, but check the links below. If nothing there helps, check the player's manual for more info or go a Google search for something like format error Chinese iPod

How to transfer music to my iPod (& iTunes) {click on link}. Add the music to your iTunes Library first. Then try transferring.

The LW playlist that shows in iTunes is 'only' for playing & checking your recent downloads. That playlist cannot be burnt, etc.

Videos need to be a certain format & video dimensions to be able to be added to iPod. Check the specifications of iPod's video abilities in the video section of link above.

This site is no longer in service or has been disabled due to a terms of service violation error message, a warning against malware, and links to pages that no longer exist. Why did you post that link here?

That site reminds me of another non-trustworthy one.
