I need help. For ipod 5th generation information

How do i know if my ipod 5th generation is charging after its been dead for a long time

- See:      
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I need help with my 5th generation ipod

    i just got a video ipod that didn't work. then i pursuaded my dad to get a nano but i still have my ipod servises from my last video ipod. what should i do to delete the old ipod services.

    On a windows go to the control panel and find where it says to "add or remove programs" Go in there and find iPod and iTunes and remove them. Then restart your computer and put in the nano disk and install the software for the nano
    No need for any of this.

  • Cannot install drivers for iPod 5th generation on Windows 7 Home Premium - shows a Bluetooth peripheral device

    Connects to windows 8 without a problem.

    Hey shabnamsarup,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I found an article that should help you out. I would pay special attention to step 9) Verify that USB drivers are installed, but would also go through all of the steps to make sure that it isn't something else causing the issue:
    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows

    Are any other devices connected via USB to your Windows PC?  If so, disconnect them and reboot your PC. Then reconnect your iPod to see if that makes any difference.

  • I tried downloading the iOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it finished downloading it shut down completely and it said there was an error and no the iPod is in recovery mode. What can I do to restore it and update it? Please, I need help.

    Hello,
    I recently tried downloading the IOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it was almost done the computer said there was an error. Right after that, the iPod shut down completely and now it's on recovery mode. I plugged it in and it said that I had to restore it and update it so I could use it again but it doesn't let me. What can I do? I even did a backup before the update.
    I really need help.

    What happens when you connect to computer and restore via iTunes?
    Without knowing that:
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4623 Hello! So I have a iPod 5th generation, and I just had a recent update, it was for iOS 6.1.3, and now for some reason, I can't get the iOS 7 update. Could anyone help me?

    Hello! So I have a iPod 5th generation, and I just had a recent update, it was for iOS 6.1.3, and now for some reason, I can't get the iOS 7 update. Could anyone help me?

    Apple's servers are slammed right now with iOS 7 downloads AND activation requests.
    Be patient and try again later.

  • I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

    I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Help with my addicted Ipod 5th generation!

    My Ipod 5th generation is fully charged but only works if it is charging. When I try to turn it on (in this case it's not charging) the apple sign shows but then it turns off again. I have updated it to see if it would fix the problem but nothing... A couple months ago it reserted by it self... It has gone mental... Or it was brainwashed like when I try to explain to someone what happened. I could only update it now though. Please guys, help me.. I need my music...
    Sincerely
    Luthyn ^.^

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

    4.) I go to the apple website to download latest ipod updater then i saved it to: Save to disk
    5.) Then in my pc desktop an icon for adobe:ipodsetup.exe->click it but it says:There was an error opening this document.The file is already open or in use by another application.-> cant understand what it implies...
    6.) So because of that i deleted all the remaining files in my ipod which was MY PICS. so it leaves my ipod no songs etc as in empty as ever.

    8.) so if anyone who has a kind heart to hear my problems please help me..thank you
    ipod 5th generation (30 gig video)   Windows XP  

    WOW, you have a big problem. My first suggestion is to restore your ipod, like btabz said. Other things you could do are 1). Send it in to a electronics store or apple.
    2). Get a new ipod (LAST RESORT)
    3). 5 R's- See http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/

  • Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

    Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

    To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:
