5G iPod - Black or White?

I'm looking for some pros and cons here... iPod is all sleek and shiny. Which color holds up better, black or white? I've had two white iPods and am now thinking black is the way to go. Aside from having a white iMac, white earbuds, dock and cables... why have a black iPod... other than the "coolness factor?" Thoughts, anyone?

My son has the black nano and it shows scratches very
easily. Is there a scratch repair kit on the market?
Yes, a company called RadTech makes a product called Ice Cream, a polycarbonate/acrylic compound to remove surface scratches on iPods and other things like laptops, cell phones, PDAs, jewelry, etc. Here's the link:

I haven't tried it yet, but I might buy Ice Cream after my next iPod.

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod photo stuck in disk mode and screen is in Black and white

came to use my ipod photo after about a week of not using it. when i took it out the colour screen was in black and white and the screen is stuck to saying it is in disk mode with a large tick.
the ipod will mount and does show up in itunes it will even play songs via itunes. i have tried resetting to no avail and my next option was to restore to factory settings which i am loathe to do as i have songs on my ipod that are no longer in my itunes library.
anyone had similar issue or can suggest a fix
thanks

well the problem has been solved...hope this may help others having this issue.
i basically just let the battery run out, then connected the ipod to my laptop and voila...it reset and all is well again...
pretty random, but glad it is all working again.

80GB ipod only outputs in black and white

I just bought a new 80GB 5th Gen iPod and hooked it up to my TV and it only outputs the picture in Black and White. If I take my old 60GB 5th Gen iPod it will output a picture no problem in color with the same TV and the same cable hooked up the same way.
All TV out settings are the same:
TV Out: Ask (I turn to ON)
NTSC
Widescreen On
Cable: Apple's iPod AV Cable M9765G/A
The weird thing though is if I take my new 80GB 5th Gen iPod and hook it up to my "MyVu" headsup display, it displays in color. It just won't do it on my TV.
Why won't it display color on my TV?

Try a different Video file on the 80 GB;to see if any changes? Are there any other title;s Videos are Podcast,
TV Shows that will playback in color-- if so It's possible that your file format is not compatible.
Check to see how the video files are define by format, frame rate etc; that your using as a reference to playback on TV.
See if you have any other Video's on the 80GB that will play in color.
Make sure your 80GB is using Itunes Version 7.0 or higher
Compaq PC 6370US / 1GB Ipod Nano & 80GB Video Windows XP Pent 2.53 GHZ 512MHZ MB RAM 120GB HD

TV shows up as black and white when I hook Ipod to TV

I have the dock and the remote, the cables, etc.... Yet when I hook up to the T.V. to watch downloaded show 1. I either get the show in Black and White
or 2. I get audio only. What's the solution?

if you are not using cables specifically designed for the iPod make sure you switch the red and the yellow. also make sure the TV out setting is on in your video settings on your iPod.
if you are using a cable specifically for the iPod and it doesn't work after trying the above the cable maybe defective.

Watching Movies: iPod to TV- black and white and split screen. Help?

I have this cable: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2994604
As you can see, the chord colors on that cable are red, green, and white. The places where the chords go in on my DVD player are yellow, red, and white. As you can tell, they don't go up. I connected them so the audio works fine, but the movie shows up ONLY in black and white, and the screen is split right down the middle. On my iPod, the 'Video Setting' do not fix this. I also have the iPod Classic 80 GB, for reference.
Help?

Toggle between PAL and NTSC on video setting.

My iPod connects to my TV just fine, but it only plays in black and white,

i can connect it and get it to play videos, but it will only play in black and white. i know the videos are color, but none is coming up. any ideas on problems or ways to fix it?

So just the three RCA jack type, one side into your iPod's headphone jack and then Video and L&R Audio RCA plugs at the other end?
Did you check your iPod's video settings to make sure you are not sending out PAL when you want NTSC or sending out NTSC when you want PAL?

Why do ipods come in many awesome colors and iphones only come in black and white?

Why do ipods come in many awesome colors and iphones only come in black and white?

The only answer is because that's what Apple decided. No one here knows any more than that.
You should put a case on it anyway so buy one in the color you want.

Hello! I need Apple (!!!) headphones for Ipod Shuffle 3! (only apple earphones with remote and mic!!!) Tell me, what distinguishes the model are presented in black and white boxes? They may differ in features? Can one model is more modern than the other?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

Is there any differences between black and white ipod touch ?? only the color or there are hardware differences?

is there any differences between black and white ipod touch ?? only the color or there are hardware differences?

You're welcome.
What?
Sorry, but no. The parts are identical with the only difference being a white housing or a black housing.

Black or white? ............ iPod, of course.

black or whit video iPod. I'm getting one 2morrow, so answer qwuickly plz!

Just plz only answer if you answer the question, not comment, please.
Gee, that's not rude at all. Oh wait, sorry that was a comment wasn't it? I better answer since you have dictated to only reply if wed had an answer (since you are in charge here and everything), so I think you should get the grey model. By the way, does your keyboard have a SHIFT key? It seems to be missing. Oh snap, another comment. I got to watch that.

Was just given 80GB iPOD classic. It turns on, however screen displays black and white frowning face and ipod support address. Is this ipod toast?

iPod displays a sad iPod icon
Resolution
In most cases, the sad iPod icon indicates a hardware issue. If you are able to force iPod into Disk Mode, then it may not be a hardware issue, and you should try to restore your iPod with the latest software.

My iPod has a white screen. After holding down the middle and the menu button it goes black, then back white, and then beeps twice but stays white. It never shows the apple logo, just stays white - help!

My iPod has a white screen. After holding down the middle and menu button, the screen goes black then back to white and beeps twice. I have returned to original settings and resorted content to no avail. I still have a white screen. I have plugged it up and tried resetting again and again, still a white screen with two beeps - help.

I have the same exact issue. Fifth generation iPod Nano, blank screen, Restore had no effect. I'm running Windows 7 Home, with all software up-to-date. I suspect hardware damage. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
