Can't restore Fifth Generation I-Pod

I first had a 20 GB I-pod, and I recently downloaded the latest version of I-tunes. So when I got the I-pod video, I thought I didn't need to install the lates software- I already had it. So I just plugged in the new video I-pod to the computer and waited for it to download all of my songs, and I would be on my way.
...It didn't happen.
Now it says my I-Pod Is corrupted, and so it says I need to restore it. When I click the button to restore it, a window pops up telling me that it's connecting to the update server, and then it tells me it can't restore because "the requested resource was not found." Oops. So I insert the CD that came with it to download the software that might have been required, but as far as i can tell, nothing changed. It doesn't help. So am I going to have to send it away? Should I not have plugged it into the computer without inserting the CD? Is there anything I can do to save it? Thank you.

  • What is considered a fifth generation I-Pod?

    What models are considered fifth generation?

    The main difference a Fifth Generation iPod has from the other iPod models is that it is the only one that has the ability to play videos.
    Also, it is the most recent iPod in the "Main Generation iPods" as you might call them.
    There are actually two sort of sub-Fifth Generation models.
    The first one came out on October 12, 2005.
    Then, recently, one came out in September 12, 2006.
    There are a few differences, like longer battery life, now an 80GB model replaced the 60GB, etc.
    This more recent iPod is called the "(Late 2006) Fifth Generation iPod".
    Here is a picture of it (the latest one):
    But generally speaking, these two versions of the Fifth Gen can be considered as the same type of group together.
    This document might be helpful in determining the different iPod models:

  • Can I restore 1st generation data to 2nd generation iTouch?

    My teens 1st gen iTouch was stolen but good thing is a recent sync and backup is on her Mac so we have everything. I just got her a 2nd generation iTouch and before I do anything I wanted to ask as I know I can easily mess this up.
    When I hook it up for the first time and I assume it asks to restore or treat as new what should I do to ensure her purchased music and apps get put on her new iTouch?
    Thanks for helping an old guy out here to look good to save his daughters iPod data. :O)

    Thank you for the reply. I also found this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    At the bottom of the article it has:
    Restoring your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a previous backup
    If you upgrade or otherwise replace your device with a newer device, you may be able to restore the previous backup to the new device. For upgrading from the original iPhone to iPhone 3G, see these instructions. You can upgrade one device with the backup from a different type of device; most settings will transfer to the new device.
    Note: During the process of restoring your old backup to a new device, you may see the iTunes progress bar pause. If this occurs, please allow for additional time for the upgrade to complete.
    I will try your suggestions and am sure all will be fine.

  • Can you connect 5th generation i-pod to portable dvd player

    I have recently purchased an Amstrad portable dvd player and was wondering if it is possible to view my saved movies from my i-pod video onto my portable dvd player. Was told by local shop it wasn't as you only had option of audio and not video. The portable dvd player came supplied with cables to watch movies through the portable player and onto a tv

    A portable DVD player normally only has OUTPUT jacks and would not have a reason to support input jacks. So there would be no place to INPUT your iPod signals.
    So the first question is, does the portable DVD player have actual INPUT ports?

  • Effect of x-ray at airport on Fifth Generation i-pod

    I am about to make a trip and was wondering if the x-ray at the airport will have any effect on my i-pod. It is so much like a computer that I am concerned with sending it through the x-ray machine. Anyone know if this would erase the memory or effect it any other way? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Thanks everyone for the quick responses. I'll be heading to Thailand tomorrow and will enjoy listening to my ipod while in flight (17 hours). Thanks again for giving me peace of mind.

  • My hard drive failed...Can you restore files from i-pod

    My hard drive failed. Most stuff was backed up, but not one large folder of MP3 files. All of the songs in question are on my i-pod, but I cannot for the life of me find a way to get the i-pod to transfer the files on to the new hard drive.
    Does anyone know of a way to do this?
    The music was purchased from a site other than the i-store BTW, and re-downloading it all in very manual if I get stuck having to do that. It seems like it should be possible to just send it all back over from the i-pod. I'm baffled.
    Thanks!

    I want to know the Tech. Spec. for this one iPod.
    Thank you

    This reference -http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688- seems a little confusing. I don't see my serial numbers.

    You need a computer with iTunes installed to regain use of your iPod.  Unless you have the iPod backup file from the syncing computer all you can do is to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod.  You will also need to place the iPod in recovery mode is you restore the iPod on other than on its syncing computer.  For reoverymode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Remember the passcode is a security feature.

  • My i-pod fifth generation is not working both because of the change of address and also because of the change in password!

    Thank you!

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • Downloaded the 3.1 onto my 1st generation i pod touch, when turned on there is an apple with a bar half full under it. I have reset but can not bring up my home screen now. HELP ME!!!

    I have a first generation I pod touch. I recently downloaded the 3.1 version to it. In the middle of the download, an apple with a bar appeared under it, the bar has been only half full for many hours now. I reset the Ipod, but still this appears, and can not get my Ipod to turn off or get to the home screen. I can only reset it to turn it off! HElp me please! Or should I truck it down to the MAC store downtown?

    Try connecting it to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restoring it.  See this article for instructions on getting your iPod into recovery mode.

  • Fifth Generation Airpot Extreme MD031LL/A can't connect more than one device

    I just came back from the Apple Store @ Cambridge, MA where I got a second fifth generation Airport Extreme Base Station (MD031LL/A) which is recognized by all the devices I have (Mac Pro, 2 iPhones and 1 Power Book) but I can only connect to the Internet via the Mac Pro. This is the second unit I try in a week and is just behaving the same way the previous one was and for which an Apple specialist at Apple Care told me "it shouldn't be behaving that way".
    2 Airport Extreme Base Stations malfunctioning in a row makes me wonder what other options are left for me...

    And here is the message I get after failing to connect to the Wi-Fi network. Notice how the bands went from 3 to 2 lines on the Airport Wi-Fi indicator next to the Airplane mode...
