5th gen iPod Software

i just got a 30gb ipod w video but it didnt come with a cd. it says just plug it in and it will download software but windows wants a cd. Where can i get the ipod software? im about ready to throw my ipod out the window here.. im deploying in a few weeks and i want to get this thing workin before i go. i need that software..

Using your Window XP program to: Do ADD/REMOVE ITunes software program.
Then do Windows Update; get all the recent updates.
Download and re-install ITunes Version 7.0.2.
Restart Computer: and run ITunes program alone.
If you’re using the 5th Gen. IPOD you don’t need CD software .
Do a manual Reset on IPOD--by selecting
Menu and Center simultaneously, for about 6 seconds.
You may have to do this several times.
Re-try IPOD connection to ITunes.

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!

You may refer to this tutorial, it's about how to fix iTunes sync problem with iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

Sony software... 5th gen ipod... hp laptop... why wony they mesh? :(

Soooo.... I bought the "Vegas Movie studio HD" blah blah to edit the vidoes I took off my 5th gen ipod... Why wont the sony software open the videos'?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I realize it is sony movie studio, Im asking about which one in the series. there are four different ones. I'm also asking about the file type. Vegas rejects certain types. You should be able to run the software on windows 7, If you have trouble, try running it in xp mode. When i asked about the location from which the videos came, Im asking whether they came from a drm protected source or not. If you are trying to upload them straight from the ipod, you might run into trouble. upload them from your internal drive.

5th Gen iPod, seen by Windoze, not by iTunes

I've been too busy lately to hang out keep up with the iTunes 7 issues, but I still have to stop the iPod service, attach my iPod, start iTunes/start the service every time I want to sync. Is there any hope that this is a temporary condition or is this just how it's gonna be from now on? iTunes 7, 5th Gen iPod w/1.2 software, XP Pro SP2.
TIA for your comments/help.

Wow, 10 days and not a single reply. Guess I'm not the only one too dumb to figure out what's wrong with iTunes.

5th Gen iPod Touch w. iOS 7 not recognized by iTunes 11.1

On Wednesday I updated my 5th gen iPod Touch to iOS 7, and ran the latest iTunes 11.1 update on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.5.
For two days, everything worked fine, but today, when I plug in my fully charged iPod it is not recognized by iTunes.
Some salient facts:
     1. My iPod shuffle is recognized by iTunes without problem when I plug it in to any USB port on my Mac.
     2. I tried all of Apple's troubleshooting suggestions - restarted iPod and computer, tried connecting to different USB ports on my Mac.
     3. My iPod touch will still charge when plugged in to my Mac.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I did try all of Apple's troubleshooting suggestions. It was the cable - Thanks for the tip!
It didn't occur to me to suspect that my still-new, Apple-brand cable went bad the same week Apple released two major software updates.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

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?

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.

TS1369 why doesnt my 5th gen ipod nano not connect with windows 8?

why doesnt my 5th gen ipod nano not connect with windows 8?

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

TS1363 I have a 5th Gen Ipod Classic which has just stopped being seen by iTunes. I have reloaded itunes and rest my iPod but still nothing. Any advice?

I have 5th gen iPod classic and although it is recognised by my windows vista software within the "computer" tab. iTunes does not see it. I have totally reset my iPod and reloaded the iTunes software on my PC (which actually sorted my issues with mt 32gb touch) but to no avail.
Any assistance would be grately appreciated?

Nothing has changed frlom when it worked on Saturday to it not working on Sunday! The iPod does not appear in iTunes on either my laptop or my PC. The iPod appears to be fully functional, the wheel works and the date/time etc is all correct. However, it is empty of all music and videos. It was almost full (give or take 10 gb)
The display on the iPod says connected! Is there a setting on it which changes it from an iPod to a disc drive? Other than that, I can see what's wrong.
Everything is working perfectly apart from it's deleted all my stuff and the PC only sees it as an external hard drive?
As I said, my touch is fine

5th Gen iPod Unable To Play Purchased Videos & Music

Hi!
Sometimes it's a mistake to update the iPod just before a trip! So I found out as my 5th Gen iPod would not play any of the purchased videos or music I had on it. All of the other music on the iPod played fine and so, too, did my own iMovie videos, so I knew that nothing was really that wrong with the iPod. It just wouldn't play the purchased stuff. Yeah... that's right, the music and videos that came with DRM protection wouldn't play! If it's on my iPod, wouldn't it have been legally downloaded in the first place? Here is the set up: I changed the setting on my computer to allow it to sleep. I then had some problems so I changed it back to never sleeping. One problem was with iTunes. My iTunes would not play my purchased stuff because somehow, my computer "forgot" that it was "authorized" and gave me a message stating that I had to re-authorize the computer. I did so even though I knew that it was already authorized. But.. according to the message I got after that, I now had 1 computer authorized of my allowed five. Weird... but "okay"... I thought... "everything is working, again." But around then, I had updated my iPod and then went out of town for six days, only to find that the purchased videos and music would not play. Oh... like my iPod was not "authorized!" Okay.. This is infuriating as really this DRM restriction software ends up impacting negatively the honest people far more than any fans of the old Napster. This is a fact Apple well understands and the music industry seems oblivious of. So... despite the fact that I have legally downloaded and paid for every piece of music and video I have on the computer and iPod, I am treated like the scum of the earth by having my purchases not work on my iPod because my computer forgets it is authorized! But you know, I am a bright thing and solved my own problem. I thought resetting the iPod would solve the problem but it did not. I re-synced the iPod when I got home, after making sure the computer was still authorized, but this too failed to solve the problem. What did solve the problem was deleteing one of the TV shows and then re-dragging it on to the iPod (I have it manually managed) and syncing the iPod, again. Suddenly all of the purchased videos and music work again. We are back to happy times with the iPod again. But I must ask, who are you really hurting with this silly DRM thing, anyway?

There has got to be a better solution to this problem, which I have as well, than the ones suggested above (no offense). So I'm bumping the post and praying someone can help me out. I'm using iMovie 4.0.1 and iTunes 6.0.1.
Unforunately for all of us, there is not.

BTW-no offense taken.

5th gen iPod video issues

Ok. I'm on my second iPod here. Just got this one as a gift and am having trouble loading vidoe and photos to it. I'm on a Titanium PowerBook running the latest version of OS X. My boyfriend is on a pc and also has a 5th gen iPod. I connect either iPod to his pc, and all the tabs that should be there come up in the summary in his iTunes. It says my iPod is up to date. I connect to my computer and only the Summary, Music, Podcasts and Contacts tabs show up. I'm on the latest version of iTunes as well. It does say, however, that my iPod is Windows formatted. I take my iPod to work and connect to my G5, and everything is fine there too. So what do I have to do to set up my laptop at home to be able to upload videos and photos to this iPod???? I'm not finding anything in the discussions that's hitting my particular problem....
Frustrated and confused-

update: i did the archive and reinstall with my os and then ran software update. my os is clean and current, and the ipod is working perfectly.

5th Gen Ipod classic Harddrive switch out (exchange)

I switched out a perfectly working 30 gig harddrive (with all my coveted music on it) into another good working 5th gen Ipod I bought for this very purpose. Reason being was that my ' coveted music' ipod stopped giving out sound. My coveted music ipod harddrive was playing and working properly right up until I made the switch. Now everything is ready to go and it turns on etc. except the display is asking me to now 'connect to my computer and use I tunes to restore !!' Did I lose all my songs ??I even played the no sound ipod before I made the switch just to make sure songs were there and the hardrdrive was functional which is was. I don't want to restore until I exhaust all avenues to bring back my music. Shouldn't my music still be on the harddrive ? I did not format it, just made a switch over. Any help ? Thanks

The 5th gen iPod "video" had different versions of its logic board, so the second one you transplanted the hard drive into may have a different logic board version. Therefore, the hard drive itself is compatible, but maybe not the iPod's software (or other aspect of its data) on that hard drive. That may be why the iPod is asking you to do a Restore (which will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings).
If you did not do a Restore, the your song files are probably still there. Instead of trying to preserve it on an iPod, which is risky because an iPod can become lost, broken, or in need of a Restore, you should offload your songs onto your computer's drive, and add everything to your iTunes library.
You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, add them to your iTunes library. After confirming everything is there, do the Restore on the iPod and sync it to that library. Going forward, keep a copy of ALL of your songs in your iTunes library. (Don't trust an iPod with your only copy of songs.)

5th gen iPod freezing

I have a 5th gen iPod (MA146FB) that has been unused for a while. It is charged up now, but the screen keeps freezing, so I have to keep rebooting it - any ideas what might be causing this and what I can do to stop it? One thing I have noticed is that the hard drive sometimes seems a bit noisy (clicks). I have already reset the machine, but it still seems to freeze (click the menu button a few times and the screen locks, music still plays but all buttons unresponsive until reboot)

There are a two possibilities here, one being corrupt software that runs the iPod, or a dying hard disk (which would explain the loud clicks). Have you tried restoring the iPod in iTunes yet?
It might not hurt to run a check disk on it using the Tools provided by Windows as well (assuming you are using a PC and not a Mac).

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.

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
