5th Gen. 60 GB iPod Video Lag

My iPod Video (60 GB, 5th Gen.) is lagging badly. Especially the games, although the menus and songs lag sometimes as well. I have never had thisproblem with my mini, but with the Video, this problem has been there since day 1.

lagging... you could say so.
the second post from an owner not really happy with the new 60gb-version. i've got a few issues with that machine.
the new design might be flash but the fact that this plastic-front can come undone so easily... I donno 'bout that.
F*, it's an ipod. It's meant to be carried around as much as I want it to! Isn't that the purpose? Surely, if I go to work and carry my Ipod in some superheavyduty protection until it's finally placed on my desk to sit and wait until I retreat back home... Likley I won't have problems. I've read a lot of comments from people taking that much care but honestly - it's fairly expensive and for that much you should expect very high quality for every single ipod sold.
Mine functions at random although I've taken care of it reasonably. Apple's latest outcome sometimes seems a bit touchy indeed.

When will Apple ship 5th gen 60 gig Ipod videos to stores

I've been wating since christmas checking BestBuy every day for the 60gig but all they have is the 30gig.
Should i just get the 30gig or wait for the 60gig?
Thanks

You mentioned Best Buy and since you had no location in your profile I assumed wrong. There seems to be plenty here. have you considered on line thru Apple?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPod video lag

Problem > my ipod video lags when it plays some movies. when i play music videos(only videos i have on ipod now) some tend to be aprox 1 sec delay. its odd when a singer says somthing and one second later the words follow on my headphones. this only happens to some of my videos (about half) while the other half are perfect. it will happen 100% of the time to those songs so its not a random ipod lag.
Process >i use "imTOO" video converter to get my files to mp4 format and run windows xp. while some videos lag others are fine with none. i tried multiple times to convert files(mpeg,avi) to mp4 with no programs running with still no success. i have also tried updating my ipod with no programs running with no success.
Question > so i was wondering if this has happen to anybody else out there with a gen5 video iPod? if so were you able to fix this problem and how did you do this? is it the program i am using? any help would be great. thanks.

this is the email that i have recieved from the support guy. hope this helps out because i havent tried it.
Dear user,
Please modify frame rate on the right panel of the main interface to correct it. The default value for this item is "Auto". Please enter a concrete number for it to have a try. You must highlight the file item in the program before modifying anything. I think you can try following numbers: 10, 15, 25, 29.97, 50 and 60. Thank you.
If you still have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me again.

My iPod touch 5th gen can't play videos?

I've had my iPod touch 5th gen since Christmas Eve and I haven't had any problems with it, but a few days ago it stopped playing videos and now - even though I have turned it off and back on and turned the wifi off and back on again - it still can't play videos off any site, Facebook, dailymotion, YouTube, nothing. But I can view webpages and get Internet connection just fine!!
So if you know what I could do to fix it please help because it's very frustrating!!! Thanks

IPod Touch 5th Gen won't play videos in the camera roll?

I am trying to play videos I have in my iPod Touch's camera roll and it won't play them. What happens is that is shows its a video, shows the time in the video, when you click the play for the video it is paused, you can drag the slider through the timeline and it will go to that point in the video, but it won't play it will just be paused. I can hit the play button on the bottom all day and it won't play. I tried this on numerous videos and the same story. Now, I took these videos on my iPod Touch 4th gen over the past few years, and obviously put them on my 5th gen using the backup feature. These videos are of my daughter as a baby and I really don't want to loose these. Any idea on how to get them to play?

- Do they play on the computer?

Moving iPod 5th Gen movies to iPod Touch

I was wondering...what would happen if I moved my iPod 5th Gen movies (no longer on my computer) to a iPod Touch?
Would the video be the size of the iPod 5th Gen screen?

Personly I have found that moves encoded for the Ipod Video do not work with the Ipod Touch. ie, I get the can't play on this device error message when syncing in I tunes.
However re-encoding the video using a converter that supports the iTouch (Videora) everything was ok.

Can you trade in your ipod touch 5th gen for a ipod touch 6th gen

I can't wait for the iPod 6 to come out, and I am wondering if you're able to trade in your 5th gen for the 6th gen? I've only had my iPod Touch 5g for a year and there are little to no scratches. How much of credit would I get for it? Also, I still have all of the original packaging.

Since there is no iPod touch 6th generation no one can answer that. At this time, the only credit you can get from Apple is 10% off a new iPod if you recycle your current iPod.

Ipod classic 5th gen no sound, ipod classic 5th gen no sound

hi i got a 5th gen ipod classic, today no sound will come out of it (headphone or dock) i tried to reboot it but that did not do any thing, has any one got any ideals what to do.
thanks

I have one doing that. I suddenly had audio quit. Everything else checked out and works just no audio. Tried everything and by chance I found that if I squeeze lower right hand side of case audio starts. Had a shop check it and found nothing wrong with audio cable but think it may be logic board. Found a forum and it seems that apple is aware of this issue. Here is the link to the forum I am in the process of trying to get mine fixed or replaced. Hope this helps you somewhat. http://forums.macnn.com/103/ipod-iphone-and-ipad/351485/no-sound-ipod/

Load New iPod UI on 5th gen (or other) iPod?

hey, this may be a no-brainer, but i have a 5th gen ipod, and was wondering if you could load the new ipod UI. if not now, would it be availible as an update? (hint hint apple...)
thoughts?

I don't think this is going to happen. I have a 5.5G iPod, which included new features (games, search, gapless playback) along with slightly better hardware. I believe only the games and gapless playback were enabled for the original 5G iPod owners through new firmware. And these were essentially the same model.

5th GEN 30 gb ipod FROZE

I just got my iPOD video. Loaded all my songs. Worked for two days. Put it on my computer for the night to charge. When I got up the next morning it froze. I tried everything including the 5 r's. Anyone else have this problem? I contacted Apple. They suggested that I request service, which I did. They have not gotten back to me, but when I check my status it says that the item has been shipped. Does this mean that they are shipping me a new IPOD and I am to send the defective one back? Help!

Similar think happened to me. I had the Ipod (60gig) for about 24 hours and it completely crashed. The battery appeared to have drained in about 30 minutes resulting in a complete shut down. Nothing worked (called and talked to tech support) and I ended up having to send it back for replacement. When it status shows “shipped” it means that the box to return the defective item has shipped to you. You will need to return it to Apple and once they receive it back they will ship you a new one. The good thing is they the turn around is extremely fast.

Problem syncing songs on 5th gen 30 GB ipod

My brother recently got an ipod nano and we began using both (my fifth gen) with iTunes on one computer. It worked fine the first day but after that it won't work. When i connect either ipod it works but then when i drag songs to them, the songs doesn't go on. Finally when i try to disconnect, it won't let me. I have to disconnect it via My Computer. Can Anyone Help Me!!!!!

Check your update settings. Connect your iPod and click on it's icon in the iTunes source list (the narrow pane on the left). This will bring up the preferences tabs in the main pane on the right. The first tab you'll see is Summary, look for "manually manage songs and videos". To be able to drag songs from the library to the iPod there has to be a check mark against that option: Managing content manually on iPod
Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that it automatically enables the iPod for disk mode. When and iPod is enabled for disk mode the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on the desktop and check this link for alternative methods:: Safely Disconnect IPod
If the iPod is set to manual and your problem with dragging persists try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

5th Gen 30 GB iPod - screen has lines - menu not visible

Sometimes the menu is visible - sometimes not. I have never dropped it, the glass is intact. Just by clicking buttons I can play some music - just don't know what is going to play. I have had it for many years, and though I have an iPhone and iPad - I still love my iPod for walking, etc. Any suggestions that might help? (besides a new one). Can the inner screen be replaced? I have just reset & restored it to see if that might help - through iTunes.

You can work through the remaining five 5 R's of troubleshooting.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity. A third party service will actually replace the damaged/faulty part for a little less. Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.
