5th Gen display issue

Remember Etch a Sketch? My 5th Gen randomly draws horizonal lines across the display which look like one of those old toys at work.If you reset it, you can still see the lines in front of the logo. It was a refurbished unit, and it did this once before right after we got it.Sent it in for repair and they fixed it without replacing any parts (it appeared).I need to know how to fix this for now and in the future. Anybody seen this happen before.

"Sent it in for repair and they fixed it without replacing any parts (it appeared)."
Almost certainly Apple would have replaced the iPod not repaired it.
If it's now out of warranty look at one of the many repair sites such as http://iresq.com/ipod/

IPod Nano 5th Gen memory issues?

Hello. My iPod Nano 5th gen is great, and I've been able to use it for 2 years now, and it serves me well. Perfect condition since the day I got it. However, there are some memory issues...
First off, I have only two recorded videos totaling 1 minute and 29 seconds, so it shouldn't take up much memory at all. And I don't have any other videos on my iPod either.
Well, when I go to "About" under "Settings", then it always says that there are only 902 MB left, and it's an 8 GB. What's weirder is that it says that 6.1 GB are being used my audio, and I only have 712 songs. When I select all of the songs that are on my iPod on my PC, then it tells me that it totals to only 3.53 GB. Kinda weird, and I really need this extra space now.
Secondly, I should tell you that I don't use iTunes to syncronize my iPod. I use a third-party program called CopyTrans Manager because it's simpler, easier to navigate, and faster in my opinion. Idk what it is, but it's bothering me. Hopefully some of you can tell me where I can go to eliminate these issues and finally get my iPod back to better use and full memory.
Help me please. I don't know where to go next...
Thankee.

Contact the manufacturer. Check with them to determine if the issue is with them.

5th Gen Alarm Issues

I know issues about the alarm feature for 5th Gen iPods have been discussed before. However my iPod alarm feature seems to have stopped working altogether. ..
.. I understand fully how to set up my iPod to wake me up in the morning in conjunction with suitable docked speakers. I have a a Bose Soundock which has successfully been waking me for months. But despite having the correct time zone / time / playlist / volume setting and having the little alarm symbol appear - nothing happens at 7am (or any other time for that matter) anymore .. and yes the speakers are working for gerenal playback.
I've tried resetting the iPod, but this doesn't seem to solve the issue. anyone else experiencing the same thing? Is there somethign else I can try maybe?
Vaio Media Desktop LA2 Other OS Vista

.. i didn't deny anyone anything. i suggested they get in touch!
.. the solution is simple, if slightly lateral .. delete the clock with the offending alarm attached to it. Recreate a clock with the correct time zone and setup the alarm again. .. so far so good.

IPod 5th gen - Pedometer issue

Hi,
although I have no 'audio problem' when using the pedometer, I've noticed that the Pedometer counts differently if used with or without music.
I mean that, doing the same route:
- if my iPod is not playing music, the pedometer counts about 3300 steps (and it should be the right number of steps)
- if it's playing music, the pedometer counts many steps less (about 1200)
Have someone else had got this issue?

Any message or anything when it stops?
Does it then go back to no update showing?
What if you try again?

IPad 1st Gen - display issue (refer to screen shot)

Anyone know if this is something that's fixable? It's an older model (1st gen), everything else seems to work fine, just the middle of the screen isn't getting rendered content.
Thanks!
Darren

Have you tried to give it a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds and see if it reboots.
But, honestly, it almost seems like the iPad's equivalent of a graphics card is going out. there may not be much to do beyond getting a new device.

5th Gen 60G issues

Posting a rundown of events that led up to my iPod croaking on me.
-DLed (from iTunes) a few songs and tried to push them over to my Pod. It appeared all went well, so I clicked the Eject icon next to the Pod entry in Tunes (the small circle one, not the button near the bottom of Tunes).
-I got the Win notification tone of disconnection, and disconnected the Pod. However, the Do Not Disconnect message was still displayed on the Pod. I checked the Pod library, and it was completely blank-no new songs, no old songs, nothing. I tried reconnecting it to Tunes, and got the Chkdsk message, saying one of the Tunes files was corrupt.
-I ran chkdsk, with directions to repair all errors, and also DLed the new Pod updater. The updater said it failed the firmware update. Rebooted, brought everything back up, and tried it again. This time, updater came back and said it couldn't mount the Pod. The Pod now gives only a message saying to connect it to the PC and use Tunes to restore. However, Tunes doens't recognize it.
-Tried changing the drive letter associated with the Pod, but that hasn't helped.
Anyone got some suggestions? I'm heading off to call Support now, but I'll check back here periodically. Thanks in advance for any help.

My iPod is sad.
iPod displays a "sad iPod" icon.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?
Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon or the folder and ! icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

IPod Touch 5th Gen NO SOUND!!!!!!

My iPod 5th gen displays & seems to be running but it has no sound, but the sound is perfectly fine when im using earphones.
I have tried the reset and/or restore but doesnt change a thing,
I think this happened 2 weeks after updating to iOS 7, i dont know if it has something to do with updating, just saying.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

Ipod Touch 5th Gen - Music videos contained in playlists don't display in full screen mode

I am using an Ipod Touch 5th Gen. I have music videos contained in different playlist that are utilized for a class where they are displayed on a large screen through a projector. When I playback the videos through the playlists, they don't appear in full screen mode. I didn't experience this issue with previous versions of the Touch. If I access the videos individually through the video icon, they display correctly.

That is how it works now. Make a suggestion to Apple to fix it by going here:

IPod Touch 5th Gen will connect to computer and display in iTunes, but will not turn on

I've had my iPod touch 5th gen in a Lifeproof case and was taking some pictures, and lo and behold, the case seal leaked. I got water inside my case and immediately turned my iPod off and placed it in rice. After two weeks of drying in rice in a warm environment, I removed it and decided to try it out again. Much to my chagrin, my iPod would not turn on and could not be placed in recovery mode; I've tried to place it in both recovery and DFU mode, if only for some response, but nothing. It displays no screen image, no error message, nothing. It shows up in iTunes just as normal, with the name, and I can even view the sync menus for the device. However, I cannot access any pictures (my iPod has a passcode that must be entered first, and to enter the passcode I would have to turn the device on, which is so far impossible).
PLEASE HELP. Lifeproof will replace my case but not my device, and I have several weeks of photos, lots of music, and unsynced apps. (I know I should have backed up more recently, but life gets busy and I wasn't anticipating such a problem).

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. It could be that the water corroded the contacts so try to clean any corrosion from them.
- Then charge overnight and try what you did before
If still does not work:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs.. They do not fix yours.

IPod Touch 5th gen. wi-fi issues

I recently purchased an iPod touch 5th gen. I have had no issues except with he wi-if connection. Every time I hit the sleep button, or it times out, the wi-fi disconnects. Every time I want to use my iPod, I wake it back up, and sometimes the wi-if will auto connect, but most times I have to re connect manually. I have searched and haven't found anything too helpful. I went to the apple store near me, and they had no idea what was happening. I was wondering if this is some sort of setting? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you have this problem with all networks or only your network? If only your network that points to a problem with your network.
Have you powered off and then back on your router?

IPod Touch 5th Gen w/iOS 7.0.2 - Delayed 'Passcode' Lock Entry Issue

Hi,
This evening I've updated my iPod Touch 5th Gen from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7.0.2 via the 'Over the Air' method, which went well initialy.
Following using the device, upgrading all of the apps and performing a couple of backups to iCloud, I have noticed that there is an issue with entering of the 'Passcode Lock' code to unlock the device. There is a 25 to 30 second delay in me pressing a digit key on the 'Unlock' screen and the screen registering that I've entered a key. Has anyone else experienced this?
I assume that this is an issue brought about due to the security fix that has been implemented within the iOS 7.0.2 update. I am about to submit a Bug Report to Apple regarding this.
At present, I have upgrading both of my iPhone 4S and the iPad 3rd Gen devices to iOS 7.0 and they experience no issues at all - working fine. I guess I will hold off upgrading these two devices at the moment.

I've been playing with the iPod, namely attempting to type text - all applications are affected. I hadn't been typing text when I was playing with it. I think the keyboard libraries have been corrupted.
I have updated tge Bug Report and will plan to wipe and restore device using iTunes 11.1. If this is successfull, will use the same approach for the other devices.

I have a 5th gen that won't display any video out

I have a 5th gen that won't display any video out. I've tried 2 different splitter cables out of the earphone jack. I've tried plugging the RCA cables into different colors on the tv. Thought it was just a problem with the cables until tonight when I got a Sonic Impact V55. Video won't display on it either. I have the TV setting to ask. After it asks and I say yes, I get a picture of an Ipod cable connector and a message saying: TV OUT
ENABLED Please Connect Video Accessory.
This message happens on both splitter cables and using the dock connection on the V55. I've restored, reset, nothing has helped.
I did see a couple of posts regarding the V55 and whether the 5th gen would work on it. Does anyone have a v55 that the ipods working with? Heck the box says it works with Ipod 5th gen.

The video out on an iPod does not go trough the earphonesjack.
It goes trough the place where you put youre dock conector in (on the bottom)
Yes it does, on the 5th generation (pre-Classic) models, the video does indeed feed out the headphone jack (as well as out the dock connector on the bottom).

With 5th gen nano, how to display album artwork during playback at all times, it stays on for a few seconds and then the screen goes black? Is there a way to play and see artwork, at all times (using with a aux. speaker)

I have a 5th gen nano, and I play it often on a aux. speaker. I would like the album artwork to display at all times while playing it here. Right now it plays for a few seconds on each song, and then goes blank. Can this be changed?

The artwork turns black or the screen's backlight turns off? If the backlight turns off, simply disable the backlight timer, but keep in mind this will significantly reduce your iPod's playback time and battery life.

Shuffle issue using 5th Gen with Ford's SYNC

I'm using a 5th gen iPod in my 2009 Ford Focus with the SYNC system. Almost everything works just as it should, except SYNC's "shuffle on" command. When used with artists, genres, or playlists, SYNC only seems to build a very short shuffle list of some 12-15 songs, which it repeats until I repeat the selection of artist, genre, or playlist. Then a new short shuffle list gets built and played, over and over, etc., etc. SYNC seems unable to shuffle all songs by my prolific artists, in my well-stocked genres, and in my lengthy playlists in one go, unlike my iPod's built-in shuffle setting.
Ford recommended trying SYNC shuffle with the iPod's shuffle setting turned off, then with it turned on. Doesn't seem to make a difference. They're out of ideas for now. Anyone out there have this problem? Have you found a solution? If so, would you share your experience, please? Thanks!

Absolutely have had this issue.
Here's a fix (but I hate it we have to do it this way):
You have to make sure your iPod's volume is turned all the way up. The static will clear. I haven't found a way around this. The Ford system ***** for that reason. Shouldn't have to rely on our iPods running at full volume in order to work. Seems to kill the battery quicker. But hey, at least you'll have clear sound.
Lemme know if it worked for you.

Known issue: 5th gen ipods do not work reliably with 10.6.1 (snow leopard)

I just got off the phone with Apple support - there is a known issue preventing 5th gen ipods from connecting to Snow Leopard computers.
I can confirm that it's a 10.6 issue - everything worked fine on 10.5.8 with iTunes 9, but right after the upgrade, no connect (not even in Disk Utility). Apple's working on a fix, but no ETA yet. My 1st gen touch works just fine.
If you attempt to connect, it'll hang Disk Utility and may require a hard-boot to reset everything.
So we just need to be patient.

yeeahhhhh... I just plugged my ipod classic 5th gen, 30g into my brand new macbook pro... and it doesn't show anything up. Didn't even aweknowledge the ipod as a device. and worst of all... it said it was connected so i couldn't take it out but i had to since it wasn't doing anything so i unplugged it and now... it froze...
If i reset my ipod or wait till the batteries run out and then connect it to my pc. will it work still?
