Buzz Out Loud Lounge: Buzz Out Loud and 60 GB iPod with version 1.2 firmware
It's back... :-(
by drgardner - 9/19/06 8:18 AM In reply to: Buzz Out Loud and 60 GB iPod with version 1.2 firmware by acl2005So, I'd earlier reported success with getting BOL to play on my iPod by performing a restore and resync of the device to my PowerBook. It looks like I spoke to soon.
Last night, I had downloaded a different podcast - a Leo Laporte program on Macs. When I attempted to play the file, the dreaded crash and reboot occured.
This morning, after I'd downloaded the most recent (Monday) edition of BOL, I happily hit the play button as I pulled out of my driveway. Screen went dark. Drive spun down. After a bit of a wait, the Apple icon appeared and the iPod began to reboot.
Way frustrating.
I don't see any overt similarities in the affected podcasts - both were encoded at 64Kbps, but I have other files encoded at that rate that will play. I may try to assemble some sort of test matrix to see if any relationships jump out.
In the meantime, I'll have to forgo BOL, at least on my iPod.
I'm a very unhappy Apple customer right about now...but thanks for the shoulder.
No more BOL!!!

BOL - FOUND A WAY - Reset All Settings
by awardblvr - 9/19/06 9:58 PM In reply to: Buzz Out Loud and 60 GB iPod with version 1.2 firmware by acl2005Went to the Apple Web site and there was something there that prompted me to Reset All Settings on my Ipod (SW 1.2 on 30G IPod)
Upon doing the Buzz-stuff plays!

THANKS!
Can you provide a little more detail on that fix?
by 13LAZE - 9/20/06 1:50 PM In reply to: BOL - FOUND A WAY - Reset All Settings by awardblvrI went to the Settings Menu on my iPod, and selected "Reset All Settings," and got no love.
In the meantime, I have been doing a workaround, starting the podcast ten seconds in, but it sucks having to set it everytime!
Got BOL to play
by MarkComputerShark - 9/20/06 3:34 PM In reply to: Can you provide a little more detail on that fix? by 13LAZEI just did the reset all settings on the ipod itself and now I can get my 5G, 1.2 firmware with iTunes 7 to play. Don't even need to skip 10 seconds anymore.
How I Avoided the Issue
by borisborf - 9/20/06 4:01 PM In reply to: Buzz Out Loud and 60 GB iPod with version 1.2 firmware by acl2005I'n not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but here it goes:
I also have a 60gb 5g iPod that was crashing while trying to play BOL. It would crash, i would set all my settings again, and bang... there it went.
Then i did a little debugging. This is what I came up with:
After a factory restore, it will restart once when trying to play. From then on, it played for me as long as I didn't change the EQ.
Now it works fine without restart, but it is kinda annoying because BOL doesn't sound very good in my car without the "R&B" EQ.
Side-Thought: Why doesn't iTunes sync your EQs? I have a few good ones that I made that I wish I could have on my iPod.
my ipod dident crash
by kinsella01 - 9/20/06 4:41 PM In reply to: Buzz Out Loud and 60 GB iPod with version 1.2 firmware by acl2005I have a 30gb video ipod, and when i updated my ipod and itunes, it worked fine, but when i pause it it will take some time to pause or play, its weird
Buzz Out Loud and 60 GB iPod with version 1.2 firmware
by gixxermadness - 9/20/06 6:00 PM In reply to: Buzz Out Loud and 60 GB iPod with version 1.2 firmware by acl2005I have the same issue with a 30 GB iPod. The buzzards have created a viral hardware problem in an attempt to get even with Apple because they weren't invited to the showtime event. HA!
I thought that I had bad sectors so I ran a chkdsk, I'm using Windows btw, the result showed no problems. Interesting little problem isn't it? It's good to know that I'm not the only one.
Same for me
by mattbyers - 9/20/06 6:36 PM In reply to: Buzz Out Loud and 60 GB iPod with version 1.2 firmware by acl2005I have a 30 gig and it crashes on all cnet podcasts and a couple others. All TWIT podcasts still work
Try to Reset All Settings
by awardblvr - 9/20/06 8:11 PM In reply to: Same for me by mattbyersIt really does work...
You shouldn't have to go all the crazy steps people are going through.

(NT) "Reset all settings" seems to have worked (the 2nd time

Buzz Out Loud and 60 GB iPod with version 1.2 firmware
by acl2005 - 9/22/06 4:55 PM In reply to: Buzz Out Loud and 60 GB iPod with version 1.2 firmware by acl2005I have find out that turning off the EQ setting fixes the problem. When the EQ setting is not on "Off" the BOL podcast crashes the ipod when I set it on "Off" the BOL podcast plays fine. When I set it back to "Pop" it crashes again.
(NT) For me, ''EQ off''=no; ''Reset all settings''=OK so far
