5th Gen IPOD 60gig Lockups after upgrade to 1.2

I own 2 60gig IPODs and two XP computers
Successfully updated to Itunes 7 but after upgrading the
IPOD to 1.2 the IPOD started locking up. On the main menu it would lockup. I tried all suggestions on this forum
and using my wifes XP, I was able to restore the IPOD back to 1.1.1 (This required resetting twice while using the old update function.)
After ITUNE 7.02 came out I tried again with the same result
This time with both 5th gen IPODs on Both XP machines with the same result. Both IPODS would lock up after upgrading to Version 1.2
Now the Libraries are not backward compatible with ITUNEs 6
so I uninstalled ITUNES 7 and reinstalled ITUNES 6 using the CD that came with the IPODS and successfully restored
the IPODS back to version 1.1.1. Then upgraded both XP
machines to Itunes 7.02 and warned my wife and my dog and myself to never follow the option of upgrading the IPOD
when asked by ITUNES...
Does anyone have any ideas as to
1) When if ever will I be able to successfully upgrade to 1.2 and use the games and watch the TV show I purchased
on my IPOD ?
2) Has anyone using XP with USB 2.0 successfully upgraded.
to version 1.2 Am I the only one having this Problem?
3) Would it be possible to go to the APPLE store and Ask them to Format and UPGRADE the IPODS to version 1.2?
4) Would it be possible for someone from Apple to respond
to this issue on this Forum?

Applied Firmware Update 1.2.1 and it worked...
Thank you Apple for finally fixing a major problem
without ever acknowledging you had it...
or even indicating what you update fixed when you distibuted
it...
I think apple needs some lessons how to provide support...
without irritating its customer base...
All you have to do is communicate...
Respond with a message like "Known Problem" working on fix.
would do wonders... And having an apple employee update
the Discussions with an indication that you acknowledge
your user community is having a serious problem and thank them for continueing to wait for a fix..

Upgrading 5th Gen Ipod 30Gig HD to one larger

I am curious to find out if it is possiblle to upgrade the 30GIG ipod video and pic model to a larger hard drive or not. I would rather do this instead of buying a whole new Ipod if it is possible. Can anyone answer this question? And if it IS possible, can you tell me if I would have to do anything extra in order to accomplish this. Thanks for any help that can be given.

See http://www.notpopular.com/blog/comments.php?blogID=63. Note that this will void your warranty. To find hard drives for the 5th gen iPod, see http://www.welovemacs.com/mk6008gah.html. You can also find a 80GB drive at http://www.welovemacs.com/mk8010gah.html. Note that you will have to buy a larger backing (the silver part) for your iPod. They can be ordered at http://www.welovemacs.com/1604backpanel.html. I myself didn't know this could be done, but look what a simple google search turned up!

5th gen iPod lost and will not play videos after connecting to iTunes

I have a 5th gen iPod. When last connecting to iTunes, videos and movies disappeared. Purchased a new movie that iTunes says was compatible with 5th gen, movie won't transfer to iPod. My settings state that I will manually manage videos and music. Performed all 5 "R"s and iPod still won't accept movies "...can't be played on this iPod"

Let's try the following user tip with that one:

Questions regarding upgrade from 4th gen to 5th gen iPod

I recently received a new 80 gig 5th gen iPod and had 2 questions regarding it and my old 40 gig 4th gen. PC meets minimun requirements and is running XP Pro.
1) Do I need to do anything before synching the new 5th gen iPod with my existing Library (i.e. uninstall iPod Updater for 4th gen)?
2) If I don't need to uninstall the 4th gen Updater, can I run both iPods off the same Library, same user (obviously not simultaneously)?

Hey, joggy!
1) No, I don't believe you do. Be sure to disconnect the 4th gen iPod before connecting the 5th generation iPod to the computer.
2) Yes, you can.
There are basically two methods with managing muleiple iPods on one computer:
Method 1 - Create different Windows users accounts for each resgistered iPod on this computer.
Method 2 - Create a playlist in iTunes for each iPod.
To make Method 2 work, connect one of your iPods, and click on it in the left-source panel.
Under the "Music" tab, and set your option for a specific playlist(s) under the "Sync Music" option.
Do the same with your other iPod; not connected at the same time, though.
For more details on this matter, check out Apple's Support article about it:
How to manage multiple iPods using one computer
I hope that helps 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?

5th gen iPod will not unmount

I have a 5th gen iPod which I use to backup other data files. The iPod setting within iTunes allow for desktop mounting of the iPod. When I attempt to unmount the iPod from the desktop (with iTunes closed) and only the finder (and dashboard) running, I get a message indicating that the iPod cannot be unmounted because it contains files that are still in use. As mentioned above, the only applications running are the Dashboard and Finder. I do have one widget that displayes hard disk usage information, and I have used the Activity Monitor to quit the process just before attempting to unmount the iPod but the unmount status does not change. Is there something else that I should be disabling before attempting to unmount the iPod?
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) iPod 5th gen, iPod nano

I can't really explain why but sometimes it happens, to mine too, normally if you try unmounting again it should unmount, if not, the next time you have your iPod mounted on your desktop, do a Repair Permission from Disk Utility (Repair Permission on your main HD, not your iPod)
After that restart again, your problem should go away.
Cheers

5th Gen iPod Video not syncing all video podcasts

My 5th Gen iPod video is not syncing all of my video podcasts.
I did specify in the settings to sync all videos, but for some reason it only places 3 of each on the iPod. This is using the latest version of iTunes, OS X 10.4.8, and iPod up-to-date.
This did work fine with the previous version of iTunes and only seemed to happen since the "upgrade".
I've tried restoring the ipod - didn't work
Reinstalled iTunes - didn't work
Rebooted system - didn't work
Undocked/Redocked iPod - didn't work
Please Help.

Assuming you're running iTunes 7, connect the iPod and wait for it to appear in the iTunes source list. When it does, click on it, and click on the 'podcast' tab. Make sure it is set to sync all podcasts. Check the 'video' tab as well.
iTunes 7 included several new options for setting just how the iPod will update in iTunes. So, it's a good idea to go through them and make sure they're set exactly how you'd like them to be.
Hope this helps

5th gen Ipod not playing in any docking station

I have a 6th generation ipod classic that works great in my pioneer receiver and in both cars. I bought a 5th gen ipod on ebay for my wife and it seems to work just fine.
I restored it using itunes, then put synced songs to it. Everything works fine when it's connected to Windows but it won't play in any docking station. It gets a charge from the station, but won't play.
Does the 5th gen ipod not work in docking stations or is it possible mine isn't functioning right. I contacted the manufacturer of the station in one of the cars and they said all ipods should work.

I have the same problem with a Pioneer X-HM50-K hifi system. My 5th gen ipod (system 1.3 which up-to-date iTunes claims is up-to-date, tried resetting/restoring/all that), when plugged into the docking bay, pauses the music and shows a tick mark after a while with the text "ok to disconnect" beneath it. The tick mark becomes a Pioneer logo after a while but that does not change the fact that the ipod does not react, neither to the command buttons on the Pioneer system (or on the remote control) nor to the buttons on the iPod itself (those do 'click', but have no effect). It does get charged, but doesn't play, just as in the top posting.
A friend's iPod nano works just fine on the Pioneer, and my iPod works fine for everything else (headphones, iTunes, other docking systems I tried at friends', ...). So there seems to be a specific incompatibility with Pioneer systems.
How can this problem be investigated and solved ?

5th gen ipod is connected and seen on itunes yet will not sync

My 5th gen ipod-nano is connected - visual and accessible on new version of itunes (using PC, running Win 7) yet will not sync. This only started happening after the last update from apple and I have spent HOURS trying to figure out how to fix including removing all apple apps and software and reinstalling 6 times now!!! Even when a diagnoses is run it shows my ipod is connected yet when I try to sync.. it tells me that disk is not found?

Well, nothing has worked yet. Same Itunes account. When I try to download from the App Store app on the touch, I downloads all the way to the end of the loading... installing phases. then says, "Unable to Downlad Application: app will be available for download when you log in to the Itunes Store on your computer."
But Itunes on the computer will do the same thing... load it all the way up, then give an error code of OxE8003FFE.
I tried restoring the Ipod, so now it only has the factory apps, music, videos, and no apps. And I can't add even one app.

5th Gen iPod Not Being Recognized by iTunes

5th Gen iPod w/Updater 1.3. iTunes Ver. 7.6.2.9
Two weeks ago purchased music with no problems; sync'ed library w/iPod w/no problems.
Purchased music a few days ago- no problems. Started iTunes today to sync iPod and got msg saying registry values missing for certain drivers for burning discs, etc. Cause could be from other programs that burn discs etc.(???)
Plugged in iPod, got the tone beep and then a message that iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod attached. Disconnect and reattach. Did this several times - still doesn't work. I can play tunes from my iTunes library and my iPod OK - just can't sync them up. Anyone got a solution??
Thanks, Unicorn39

Well,after digging into the 1000's of msgs regarding problems similar to mine I found something I thought might help at (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538). I teied it and found that my drivers were OK so that wasn't the problem. While trying things I suddenly got the iPod recognized and it started sync'ing. I think the solution to my issue was to connect the iPod first; wait for it to be recognized by the pc (the tone beep) then go thru the acceptance of iTunes agreement, etc., iTunes then opened and the sync process began. I tried it with iTunes open and it won't work. It sounds like a hokey way to do it but at least I have my library and iPod in sync.
My next problem to work on is there seems to be registry problem with iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's. Got to figure that out and fix.
Since I do have CopyTrans I may just re-install a back-level of iTunes and copy my iPod into the new iTunes library.

5th Gen iPod Still Not Updating to Latest Software

Since my last qery I've not done much with my iPod but yesterday I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. I formatted my 5th Gen iPod in Windows and deleted all content from it.
After re-starting my PC iTunes started and recognised my iPod and started the update process. It downloaded and unzipped the software and started to update - farther than I've got before so things were looking up. Then "Error 1418..." again!!
My iPod seems to be destined to be stuck on version 1.2.3 firmware unless any of you kind and knowledgable people out there have any new ideas because the 5 R's a format and numerous update and restore attempts have all failed.
Any suggestions please?
P.S. Happy Easter!

Podcasts listened to on classic (5th gen) iPod don't sync to iPhone

I have the feeling this has been covered before, but I get lost in threads of various ages talking about various versions of iOS, various versions of the Podcasts App, etc.
I have an iPhone 5C with the most current version of iOS (7.1.1) and the Podcasts (2.1.2) app. My 17" MBP has the most recent version of Mavericks (10.9.3) and iTunes. (11.2.2). I also have a 60GB, 5th gen iPod.
Before I got my iPhone, I would plug my classic iPod into the Mac to sync. Worked flawlessly. I would download new podcasts episodes into iTunes, plugging in to sync would update the played count on both the computer and iPod depending on where I played them, and mark the played episodes to delete, and push new episodes to the iPod.
When I set up my iPhone, there was some oddness originally with random old episodes showing up on the iPhone, which then propogated back to the mac. I marked those as played, which got rid of them, and haven't had that problem again. I have my iPhone set up with the Sync tab on, refresh at every 6 hours, limit episodes off, delete played episodes on, cell data off. I have the download episdoes off for now, so the phone itself only updates episodes when I sync to the computer. I recently changed that. I'm not sure if it will effect anything. I generally sync the iPhone over the wifi, although I do plug it into the laptop to charge at night - I'm not sure if this intiates a sync or not with the laptop lid closed.
The podcast app seems to work perfectly if I use the iPhone as my listening device. I listen to something there, and it shows up as listened to on the Mac, changes propogate there well. Later, if I plug in the iPod, it reflects those changes.
The only problem I seem to be having so far is listening to podcasts on the iPod. If I listen there, when I plug it in to sync with the Mac, those changes show on the mac. Later, if I sync the iPhone, however, changes that originated on iPod do not sync to the iPhone, even if the Mac is reflecting those changes, do not sync to the iPod. So I play one of three new episodes of a podcast on my iPod, sync it, my Mac now shows only two new episodes of that podcast, my iPhone still shows three unplayed episodes, even after a sync.
Is there anything I'm missing?

Well i have a solution that does not get messy.
very simple:
1. Make Sure your all your iPod songs are backed up.
2. Restore iPod to factory settings
3. re-sync iPod media
4. enjoy.
Hope this helped
