Is my iPod 30GB the newer one?

I hear that there is a new iPod fifth generation with a brighter screen and what not. I got my iPod a few days ago. How can I tell if it's the newer version? Thanks for your help.

Without the box, I would try one of these three things:
1) Go to the settings menu and then click on About. If the version is 1.2, you likely have the newer model. If it's less thant 1.2, you definately have the older model.
2) Go to the setting menu and click on brightness (if you don't have a brightness option, you have the older model). On the brightness screen, you'll see a little red line about half way through the scroll bar. This indicates the default brightness setting which is at the half way point. This indicates you have the newer model. If you have access to the brightness option but have no red line, then you have the latest software (1.2) but you still have the older model.
3) Click on Music and see if you have a search option. If you don't have a search option under the music menu, you have the older model.

  • I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

    Hello everybody,
    I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
    I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Hello Chris,
    Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
    Thanks for answering so fast.

    Wow! Give us a chance!
    I live in the UK (about five minutes drive from the Olympic cycle race route. Didn't you notice me waving to the cameras? ). Not far from you , but far enough away that I might be doing something else, even if the cycle race has finished. The same applies to everyone else too. I'm eight hours ahead of you, so if it's 9pm now, where you are, it's five in the morning where I am and most of us here will still be inspecting the inside of our eyelids!
    Now, about your problem.
    If your iPod is 8GB, then it is not a 3rd generation Touch - no matter who they are and no matter who said it was! If it has model number A1288 etched into the casing on the back, then that identifies the 2nd gen Touch. (Yes, there is a 4th gen Touch in 8Gb capacity, but still no 8GB 3rd gen - ever). The third generation is model No. A1318.
    Can i change my old ipod to the new one with priceless. I don't understand what that means, unless you mean "with the price difference". In which case, the answer is "no".
    Even more confusing is; Now i can't do anything with this because too many apps require IOS >4.2.1 because -
    a 2nd generation Touch (including the 8GB) can install iOS 4.2.1 But that's as high as it can go. So that's incorrect! 
    you can still use any App that doesn't require a higher iOS than you have. So still incorrect!
    you can still use it as a music player, so guess what, wrong again!
    ... to store your photos - you know what I'm going to say now, don't you?
    ... and play those videos!
    So wrong, wrong and wrong!

    A playlist is, of course, just a listing of music tracks, or did you want to copy the music too?  You do not transfer that from iPod to iPod, you synch the iPod to the same library used with the first one.

  • I lost my ipod i bought i new one...i just wanna know if i can still recover all the songs i bought and downloaded from my lost ipod to the new one..if i can how will i do that since i downloaded everything and bought in my ipod not in my computer

    i lost my ipod and i just bought a new one...i just wanna know if i can still recover my downloads from my lost one to the new one since i bought and downloaded all the songs through my ipod and not through computer..if i can, how can i do that?

    Nope.
    Apple recomends after each purchase to BACKUP your purchases. If purchased on a mobile device (iPhone, iTouch, iPod, etc) you should transfer your purchases to a computer running iTunes as soon as possible to back them up.
    If you don't have your items in your library, I'm afraid there is little recourse.
    Hope you did not loose too much.

  • TS1474 I changed my computer, now i want to sync mi iPod with the new one, it says that it cannot be used unlees I have the password but I dont, what should I do?

    I have my iPod since about a year, now I changed my computer, I already have all my documents in the new one, but when I try to sync my iPod with new computer its says that I need a password to use my iPod in Tunes, but it doesnt show a box to fill in or anything, I dont have the password, What should I do? I also dont want my apps to be erased.

    -Transfer iTunes purchases to the compuer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discusssed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the Ipd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not contain synced media like apps and music.

  • If I have an ipod with music on it from a friends account and i have added more to it and i want to buy a new ipod, is it possible to get the songs on this ipod to the new one?

    My ipod classic broke and I want to get a new one. There are multiple computers that have been used to put music on to the ipod (through itunes of course) but Im not sure if the songs from my old ipod would transfer to a new one. Does anyone know?

    They will as long as you have access to the songs or the Apple ID account used to purchased those songs.

  • How do i sync from an old ipod to the new one

    How do i sync from an old ipod to a new one

    Restore the new Ipod from the backup of the old one.  When you first connect the new iPod to the syncing computer, iTunes should tell you that it found a backup and would you like to restore the iPod from that backup or as a new iPod.

  • Is there any difference between the old iPod and the new one?

    Hello everyone,
    first of all i'd like to thank you for reading my post:)
    My question is a simple one, i bought the new iPod Video 30 GB, and i came across a couple of questions while i was heading home with my new toy.
    How can i actually see the difference between this my new iPod and the one that they where selling before?
    Is there any visible difference amongst those two that i can notice?
    Thanks once again.

    The new update has a scroll feature on it to make it easier to search for songs on your ipod. It also lets you control the maximum volume your ipod can reach. It has better video quality as well. It lets you play games on your ipod (you have to download them from the Muisc Store)
    and thats about it! Have fun with your new ipod!

  • I just bought a new ipod shuffle, how can i transfer music from my old ipod onto the new one

    How do I transfer from my old ipod to my new ipod

    You can't transfer it directly.  If the old iPod is set to sync to your iTunes library on the computer, everything on the iPod is in your iTunes library.  Just set up the shuffle to sync from your iTunes library as desired.
    If the old iPod is set to Manually manage music, AND there are songs on the iPod that are not in your current iTunes library, please post back.

  • How do I transfer everything from my old iPod to the new one for FREE?

    I just purchased a new iPod Classic (7th Gen) and need to copy everything over to my new iPod. I was trying to use "iPod 2 iPod" but they want $40 for it and I am not spending $40 just to do a one time transfer. Is there any program out there that dose what "iPod 2 iPod" dose but is FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!! and available for Windows?

    NO, like most people I don't use iTunes like that, all my music is backed up on external hard drives and stored on DVD's, it is never all in the same place and I am not going to keep all my music on my computers hard drive and take up all the space. Now if only there was some magical amazing device that is like a laptop with a lot of storage space but only smaller that people could take anywhere to listen to all of there favorite music so they would not have to fill up there laptop or desktop's hard drive and/or drag around a computer where ever they go... oh wait, something like that already exists, it's called a #$%^*&! IPOD!!!. That is the whole point... The only place I keep most of my music on is my iPod but Apple and there infinite wisdom for some reason decided that iTunes would be the place where people would keep and manage their music and not the iPod, So since I can only sync my iPod with iTunes but CANT sync iTunes with my iPod I would be unable to do as you have suggested.
