5th Gen iPod & Prev Gen iPod

I have an iPod that I bought in Sept. 2004. It still works and I love it. It's still the black/white screen version, and no video capability of course.
My friend just got a 5th Gen iPod with video, color screen, etc. It's great too.
We were wondering if we could synch our iPod together via her laptop, or if this were to cause a problem. Do I need to configure my iPod in any way? I have v6.0 iTunes running on my computer and my iPod is synched to my computer very easily. I have downloaded a few eps of Lost, and my iPod has obviously not downloaded those. We just wanted to make sure that we won't have any problems if we do do this.
Thanks.

Melxb,
So you want to copy the songs that are on your iPod, onto her iPod, and vice versa?
Unless you own the CDs that are on her iPod, and she owns the CDs that are on your iPod, what you're trying to do is illegal.
You won't get much help on this forum for this (which amounts to stealing music).
If that isn't the case, my apologies.

ITunes crashes when connected to 5th gen iPod, not other iPods

iTunes 6.0.1 crashes EVERY time it starts up with the new 5th gen iPod. Works fine with other iPods, or no iPod at all. Reinstalled iTunes and restored to version 1.0 iPod form the 11-17-2005 iPod updater. Reset nvram, fixed disk permissions, rebooted. Nothing works. iTunes will not run with the 5th gen iPod. Period.

Have you tried re-installing the software that came with the 5th generation ipod?

Are batteries interchangeable between 5th, 6th, and 7th gen iPod Classics?

I'm currently working on upgrading several 5th, 6th and 7th gen iPod Classics (or Videos in the 5th gen case) and I need to replace the batteries. I'm wondering if the batteries are interchangeable. I see when I look at them that all batteries have the same voltage and the same basic specs (some being lithium-ion and some lithium polymer). One seller on Ebay lists them as interchangeable, although I'm not sure I trust them and I don't get the impression they speak clear English. Also, if anyone wants to give their preference on the two types of battery (Li-Ion or Li-Poly), I'd be happy to hear that too.

The answer is rolling back to 10.10.1 from Time Machine. Doing that solved my problem.

Selling iPod 4th Gen to get 5th gen, but.......?

Hi folks.
I'm currently selling my iPod 4th Gen to raise funds for my 5th gen. I won't be able to order the 5th gen until I have the funds from my 4th gen sale, and I just want to ask, how long does delivery take to the UK?
Also, is the warranty transferable? And does anyone know how I would transfer to warranty to the buyer?
Thanks,
Tez

The warranty should be fully transferable, but you might need the original paperwork for when you purchased the phone, such as a sales receipt or order confirmation. This is used for proof of date of purchase, but I contacted Apple regarding the same issue and they said in some cases the warranty was still valid as long as the original UPC was still on the box for the iPod. Also, the Extended Apple Care Protection Plan is available for purchase for who you sell the phone to, given that it's still under the original warranty. I believe it's $59, and for people buying a used iPod from someone else, it's usually a good idea to go ahead and extend the warranty. I did the same thing and sold my 30GB iPod Photo on ebay in order to buy the new 60GB, and ended up getting about $240 for it, so good luck.

My ipod 4th gen screen kept jumping this morning. Had to do a restore on it and it is working fine now. However, when I did the restore it did not load the Nike app that was factory installed on my ipod. I use this app daily. Any idea how to get it back

My ipod 4th gen screen kept jumping this morning. Had to do a restore to factory conditions and it is working fine now. However, it originally had a factory installed Nike+ app on it and it did not install with the restore. I use this app daily with the running chip to log my workouts. Anyone know how to get this app back from Apple? Loading the Nike app from the app store is not the same thing as you need gps running continually for it to work (as with an iphone). Can't have that with my ipod unless I'm connected to wifi. Help?? Thanks.

If you go to Settings do you see an entry for the Nike app? There is no way to delete or hide that app?
Have you tired using the Spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find it.
Next would be to restore a gain. First from backup then next to factory settings/new iPod.
The Nike app you can download/install
Nike+ Running for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad on the iTunes App Store
Does work on the iPOd. You just do not get all the information that GPS/cellular connection can get. You will still be able to get distance/footstrikes like the installed app an you do not need the shoe sensor.. It uses the built-in sensors on the iPod

Can you watch films on the iPod 6th gen?

Can you watch films on the iPod 6th gen?

Hello,
Unfortunetaly you are unable to watch any sort of movie, video, or film on the 6th Generation iPod Nano. This is simply because the screen is too small. The 4th, 5th, and 7th Generation can however watch videos.
Hope this helps,

Help me recover my IPod Nano (Gen 5) playlist

I plugged in my IPod Nano (Gen 5) to charge it, and Apple told me they had updates. After the updates were downloaded, my IPod automatically synced itself (I don't know why). After the sync was complete, my entire playlist (473 songs) had disappeared, and 3 songs (I guess it's the default playlist) had appeared in its place. I still have the playlist, it's in the Libraries section of my computer, I just don't know how to get it back into my IPod. I'm also told that the driver for this device (USB Mass Storage device) is missing, and I don't know why or how to recover it either. Another problem is, when I plug my IPod into my computer, the 473 song playlist used to display and I could listen to any song on my playlist just by simply hooking in my headset and selecting. That doesn't happen anymore either.
Sorry for the length, this is just really important to me. Any help that can be provided would be most appreciated. E-mail me...........pleeeeeeeeeease?

Hey there TXann,
It soudns like you have purchases that will not sync over to the iPod Nano 5th gen no matter what you do. I want to recommend running through the iPod 5rs to help troubleshoot the issue here:
iPod nano (5th generation) Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano5gen/
I suggest trying the sync after each step so as to minimize the amount of troubleshooting you need to do. Here is step one to get you started:
Reset
To reset your iPod:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip:
If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How do i sign out of imessage/facetime on my ipod 4th gen

i would like to sign out of my imessage/facetime on my ipod 4th gen as i have a new one 5th gen and its not letting me log in on it as im still loged in on the 4th gen,

Hi poppetfloaty16,
To sign out of iMessage and Facetime, open the Settings app. Open the 'Messages' tab. At the top, you should see a toggle-switch for iMessage. If it shows iMessage as enabled, tap the toggle-switch to disable it. This should sign out of it.
Next, open the Facetime tab, and do the same.
Hope this helps!
Regards, Seth

How do I update ipod 4th gen to ios 7 to use aple tv?

Received an aple tv device for christmas. It says it can be used with ipod 4th gen or laterf but I can't update the ios on the ipod to ios7. Please help!

Apple TV only works with bluetooth keyboards, the pairing with IOS is only for setup purposes and requires 5th gen iPod Touch anyway.

HT1477 When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display turns off and working freezes. Please help me.

When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display goes off and working freezes. Please help me.

The computer freezes? There may be something wrong with the USB port. If the laptop has more than one port, does this happen on any port? If you are disconnecting the shuffle cable from the computer, does it make any difference if you disconnect the shuffle at the other end of the cable first, then disconnect the cable from computer? Or if you currently disconnect the shuffle from cable first, try it the other way.
You may be able to work around this problem, if you get a self-powered USB hub. Something like this one
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/USB2HB7PRO/
There are many choices, but be sure to get one that has its own power supply. You can leave the shuffle cable connected to the hub, and connect the shuffle to the hub, instead of directly to the computer. This may provide a "buffer" for whatever is causing your laptop to shut off when the shuffle is disconnected. Since the hub has its own power supply, it will not rely on the computer for power to re-charge the battery.

Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.

Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
I recently upgraded from itunes 7 to itunes 8 on my windows XP PC. That's when i had issues syncing my 2nd gen shuffle.
When i try to drag songs directly on it, itunes says i can't
I made a playlist and use auto fill. But when I remove it from the dock, it's either not updated, or the new songs are at the bottom of the playlist when they are supposed to be up higher. I end up having to hit auto fill twice to make it sync correctly.
Computer Specs
Windows XP SP3
384MB of Ram (works really good)
USB 1.1 connection
Pentium 4 clocked at 1.285 GHZ
IPOD Shuffle Specs
2nd Generation
1GB (964MB)
Version 1.0.4
unchecked options: open itunes when ipod is attached, Sync only checked songs, convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC, Enable sound check, Limit MAX volume, enable disk use
All those are NOT checked. Sometimes i enable disk use for seeing the IPOD_Control folder, but either way it still messes up.
Itunes Specs:
Version 8.1.1.10

This is a well-known issue. Apple changed the internal file names used with iTunes 8, which makes the ordering on 2nd generation Shuffles behave differently. There is no good workaround, apart from moving the files with a hand-crafted AppleScript program.
Apple has been silent on the issue, so nobody knows if we'll ever have a fix for it or not.

Songs do not show up on my ipod nano gen. 6 even though they do when connected to itunes on my taptop

When my ipod nano gen 6 is plugged into itunes, it shows there are songs present. When disconnected, NO songs show up on nano. I've restored and updated the software. HELP?
PS - Called Apple and they won't help unless I pay $29.95!

Try resetting.
