5th Gen ipod "double clicks" through menus since update

I recently updated the firmware on my early 5th gen ipod from the original 1.0 to the latest version 1.2.1. Since doing so it has a very annoying issue. Almost every time I push the select button in the middle of the wheel, it does a double click. That is, I select Music -> Playlists and suddenly I'm IN a playlist rather than looking at the list of playlists. I back out and choose Albums and instead of looking at the list of albums, I'm in the All submenu. This is extra annoying when it doubleclicks down to the point it's playing a song when I was shooting for a different song.
Have other people seen this? Is this a known bug in the latest firmware? Since this never happened before the update I have to assume it's a bug and Apple really needs to fix this annoyance quickly. In the mean time, is there a way to roll back your firmware to a working version? I never had an issue with 1.0, and now I wish I hadn't updated since it introduced bugs and did nothing else.

Doesn't do it on mine. Have you tried Resetting it? And if that doesn't work, Restoring it?

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

IHome weirdness with 5th gen iPod

I have both a 4th gen iPod and a 5th gen iPod and I find that my iHome that works beautifully with the 4th gen iPod works very strangely with the 5th gen... and it's not because I don't have the foot replacements for the inserts. I find that there is a noticably longer delay in waking up the 5th gen iPod from sleep than the 4th gen and I believe that the internal clock uses through the dock connector by the iHome doesn't take this into account. As a result, I often wake up to the internal beeper even though I have the iPod connected. Further, I find that the playlist that I go to sleep with is not the playlist that is used when the alarm goes off... it seems the iPod starts playing my entire song library. I don't know what the problem is... but I suspect that it's more the iPod difference than a problem with the iHome (particularly since it works so well with my 4th gen).
Anybody have any ideas?

Yes and no... the iHome worked fine with my 4th gen iPod in that whatever playlist I had paused when I went to sleep would play when I woke up. For some reason, my 5G will just start playing the complete song library when I wake up. My point is, some iPods work, and some don't (the recent models having a problem).

TS1368 Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store. I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card. I am going to return both of these items it I cannot find a fix for this.

Make sure that you can access the Internet on your computer or device.
Make sure that your computer meets the iTunes minimum system requirements.
Make sure that your operating system is up-to-date:
Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store. I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card that I cannot use(been trying now for 6 days). I am going to return both of these items if I cannot find a fix for this.

When I called Apple (after wating 42 min. for a live person) I was told to run the APPLE Software Update and turn off location services then restart my computer. There were no available updates. The iPod touch I got on Christmas day. The iTunes app was downloaded the same day. Since day 1 I have not been able to connect. I also followed lllaass's advice and followed instructions on the following 2 websites.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIUitRyZS6U
After restarting my computer:
From the iTunes app I click on the 'iTunes Store'
A new window opens and I get the following message:
This Apple ID has not yet veen used with the iTunes Store.
Please review your account information
So I click on 'Review' and am taken to a crude screen that says
Welcome to the iTunes Store
With an Apple ID, you can download the latest music, videos, and more.
To begin creating your Apple ID, click Continue.
So I click on 'Continue'
A pop up window says:
We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
And the only option I am left with is to click 'OK'
After every fix this same scenerio just loops and loops and loops

Connecting 5th gen Ipod to itunes/updater???

I bought a 5th gen Ipod three weeks ago and haven't been able to use it yet. It apperars in windows but will not show up in itunes. I have done everything suggested on the support site and spoken to support staff twice and they tell me to send it back, i want to avoid this if poss.
The only thing I cant do is to restore it, as when I open the updater program it just asks for an ipod to be connected - even when showing on the system - therefore I can't run it.
I have all the latest itunes & updater, windows xp pro sp2, usb2 and all the recommended spec.
Has anyone else had this problem and is ther any way of fixing it. I have spent hours on this so far.

I am truly in a state of elation today after finally getting my 5g 30gb iPod to work. It's been three months and two pods since it all began, but here's how I did it (I really hope this helps someone - if it does pass it on, there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of people out there suffering as a result of these **** devices):
1, (I'm not sure this had any relevance - I wouldn't do it unless the rest doesn't work), but I reformatted it in windows FAT 32 (Right click ipod in 'my computer' drives list, format, complete format), don't worry if ipod then goes black & white with folder icon & message www.apple/support/ipod.
2, (Again, I'm not sure if this had any relevance, but you can change this back). Change the drive letter. To do this go to: Control panel, Administrative tools, computer management. In the left window select storage, disk management and when you select that the right window splits into two. In the lower half is all of your drives, right click the ipod and there should be an option to ‘change drive letter’
3. Remove ipod via the 'Safely remove hardware' icon near the clock. Uninstall all iPod updaters & iTunes via the 'add/remove programs' section in 'control panel'.
4. Disable any Anti Virus (I have AVG freeware), Firewall or Spyware software inc, Windows Firewall (personally, I think this is the common element among us and something I didn't realise was running as I had other software with a firewall).
5. Restart. Install iPod updaters & iTunes via your original disk. Restart.
6. When completely restarted (leave a few minutes) open the iPod updater, only plug in your ipod when prompted - At this point I got a box with my serial no and other ipod details in and the option to restore, but hit the restore button and it said something I don't remember, but was an error message. Anyway, I couldn't disconnect the pod so pulled out the cable (not recommended I know) and restarted the computer again and repeated step 6 again (removing the Ipod first). This time the restore button worked - it took about 10 minutes and automatically opened itunes when done and asks you for a name for it.
7. I already had the latest iPod updater downloaded (thereby not having to go online without AV/firewall running) so installed it and updated the pod.
8. Close everything, disconnect ipod and re-activate your Anti Virus, Firewall and Spyware software inc, Windows Firewall and restart.
Hopefully the ipod will again open itunes when connected. I think the real issue is the AV/Firewall software running while installing, many are suggesting it as a cause but no one knows for definite - I read somewhere Apple are aware that their software has issues when installed with AV/Firewall software running, but no specifics or information is ever given buy so-called help staff!!!
Good luck.

I have a 5th gen iPod Touch. I have made playlists in iTunes. I need to get them to the iPod. When I had a Classic, it was automatic. You could drag and drop using iTunes music to the playlist in iTunes and it would automatically sync to the Classic.

I have a 5th gen iPoc Touch. In the past, with the Classic, I could drag and drop from my iTunes music to a Classic playlist through iTunes. Now, the playlist I create in iTunes doesn't show on the Touch. I have maybe 29 GB of music on my Touch. I have already created playlists in iTunes that have substantial amounts of songs in each. How can I get those playlists on the Touch without doing a total sync that wipes the iPod? Is there a way to do it?
As well, I am noticing here that my 5th gen iPod doesn't show as a registered device. How do I register it?

5th gen. ipod not recognized by Mac

My 5th generation 30 gb ipod is no longer recognized by my Mac running 10.3.9 and iTunes 7. I've tried all of the standard troubleshooting except for restore since it can't be recognized to be restored. When it's plugged into the computer, it's charging with an animated icon but the ipod never shows up on the desktop or in iTunes. Help!
5th gen ipod Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.

ITunes 7.3.2 (OSX) and 5th Gen iPod not synching

I have had my 5th gen iPod (30GB) for about 2 years now and originally had used it with Windows, then I switched over to a Mac in Feb and have been pretty happy. Normally i synch my iPod daily to get my playlists updated (so I don't listen to the same thing all the time) and so I can get new Podcasts that were downloaded. Before I left for work this morning, I was able to synch my iPod with no problem, when I was about to synch it before I went to bed, it will not synch. When I try to put in the iPod, iTunes then crashes. I try to put in the iPod and let iTunes open automatically, it loads then crashes again. I have rebooted both the Mac and did a reset on my iPod, but can't even perform a restore since before iTunes would pop up the iPod section, it crashes first. it IS mac formatted. i don't know what is going on and what chnged from this morning to this evening and why suddenly it doesn't work.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I deleted both iTunes and Quicktime7, emptied the trash, restarted, then reinstalled QT then iTunes. Still getting the same issue. Still "crashing" when the iPod is connected.
This is some of the information from the bug report that I thought might be helpful to figure out what went wrong (didn't want to include ALL the crash report, so I just included the info before the "thread crashed" details and the system info at the bottom):

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 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!

Connecting a 5th Gen Ipod to 2010 Hyundai Tuscon

Im using a 5th Gen ipod with my new 2010 Hyundai Tuscon. The car is equipped with 2 jacks one is a aux jack for a 2.5mm headphone jack and the other is a USB jack. The dealership gave me a special cable that is fused together. One end has a 2.5mm male plug while the other is a male USB connector which plugs into the car stereo. The other end connects to the bast of the IPOD.
Ive been struggling with this for sometime now months actually.. The issue is.. While my ipod is plugged into the car stereo using the dealership provided cable the sound is dampened pretty much sounds like crap.. Lack of bass sometimes too much treble and sometimes not enough and most times lack of volume. I find myself cranking the main stereo up just to get good sound levels.
At first I was really disheartened as with my previous car it had a 200 watt stereo system in it with infinity speakers and had the same kind of ipod connection and the sound was phenomenal.
However with the Tuscon the sound as I said earlier.. sounds like crap.. I have even went as far as replacing the factory speakers with Alpines which got good reviews.. The sound did improve for the most part but still lacking.
Last night I tried a few experiments and have finally nailed it. The things I tried were:
1) Using a regular male to male 2.5mm plug to plug into the headphone port on the ipod then connect to the aux port of my car stereo and then used my regular IPOD USB sync cable to plug into the base for data exchange between the car and the IPOD=Unfortunately The Tuscon didnt like that.. it will not connect with the ipod both ports on the car must be utilized somehow at the same time which is ********!
2) THE WINNING CHOICE= I just stuck with using the 2.5mm male to male cord and connected my IPOD direct to the aux port and omitted the USB connectivity. The sound now has increased 10 maybe even 20 fold.. it actually sounds better than my old car stereo.. The only draw back and I will miss it is that w/o the USB connectivity between the car and th IPOD I will not be able to control the IPOD from my steering wheel or see on the LCD panel of the car stereo what im actually playing.
I did rig the ipod in a cup holder at my side so I can see the ipod screen and use the scroll wheel so im not completely lost.. I just weighed my options $500 + dollars for a new audio system or a rigged ipod to dramatically increase sound quality.. I went with option 2. I think i will be getting an ipod touch eventually though since it has voice control which would be really helpful when you are driving.
Anyways Sorry for the long rant.. I thought I would post this here in case there were other Hyundai Tuscon owners out there beating their brains out like I have been to increase the sound quality. of the factory stereo

You need iTunes 10.6.8 or later and iTunes 10.7.

5th gen iPod won't show iTunes U

using an iTune 10 (latest update), and synching with the 5th gen iPod. The synch goes well and when connected to the iTunes i can see the iTunes U on the list but when I disconnect and I can't find iTunes U on the iPod lists and menus... I read in a related post (about 5th gen iPod nano) a reply asking if the guy had set the files to have the 'iTunes U' mediatype. What does it mean and how do I do that?

Have you set the files to have the 'iTunes U' mediatype?
