5th Generation 30 GB Video iPod - HELP

OK, so the iPod shows a blank screen with just the backlight off. I can turn-it off, and it turns itself back on. I hve toggled the hold button and tried a soft reset to no avail. Benny sent me a link yesterday on how to go through a hard reset via itunes. The process seemed to get started OK, but the progress bar went for over 4 hours and no fix. Any other recommendations? - AL

I dont know if this the link you already tried.

If you do this or already did this and does not work, I think it is time to take the iPod to the Apple store for them to check it

VIDEO IPOD HELP....REAL BAD

i've just about had it with Apple...this isn't the first time (last year with my 20 GB i had all sorts of trouble) AND ITS STARTING TO **** ME OFF. I got a video ipod about a year ago and and its been working beautifully and i treated it like a baby. just a few scratches and one drop while it was in its case not that far off the ground. I was listening to it last night and all of a sudden it froze...this freeze is different..the screen is on, the motor sounds like its on, but when i turn the ipod a little it makes a funny sound (like the engine is hitting something) I pluged it in and tried reseting it, ive tried pluging it in my frickin computer. but nothing works, and it really makes me MAD.

Sounds like harddrive problem. Have you tried restoring it?

My Ipod 5th Generation stop playing video?

Hello,
My Ipod video was working fine and then one day my video stop working. When I try to the play the same videos that worked last week the ipod locks(black screen) and I have perform the hard reset to get it back. It does still plays the songs and shows pictures? I'm able to show videos in iTunes as well.

Hello charlesm23,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I would maybe try removing the videos from your iPod altogether, and then re-syncing them to see if that helps. At least it's a good place to start.

That's a hardware problem. It will be replaced under warranty provided that there is no evidence of abuse.
Examples of abuse include any attempt to modify the unit, such as jailbreaking.

New iPod Touch 5th generation won't charge. Help? It's brand new, I got it for Christmas in 2012. Please help! I've tried diffferent cords, outlets, and computers. I plug it in, iTunes recognizes the device, but it still won't charge.

Please help. It started about a week ago, it was charging fine the day before and then I plugged it in and it didn't charge. Occasionally it would begin to charge, but sometimes not. I've tried different cords, USB ports, wall chargers, and computers but it would barely work. Now, it refuses to charge at all. If it dies, and I won't be able to use it anymore, I won't be able to get a new one. Please help me!

It's still under its original factory warranty, so unless you've damaged it in some way, it should be covered.
First, try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.
if not, contact your local apple store and make an appointment and let them check it out.

Video ipod help wanted

I am trying to find out how to submit a video podcast to the Apple Itunes site and have it offered for sale. I have searched the Apple site but cannot find this info anywhere. It only appears to offer the facility to make available 'free'podcasts, but there are video pods on offer for sale. Im trying to find out the process for this. I have tried posting this same question on the forum but it appears to get deleted.
Could you possibly point me in the right direction and offer any advice. Im new to the Ipod world so I may have missed something quite obvious.
Many thanks

5th gen 30 gb video ipod no longer recognized by XP OR Itunes

I'm still able to charge it successfully but even putting it into disk mode, computer will flat out not recognize it. I've tried borrowing a friends working cord and same issue.
Any clue what else I can try before taking it in? I've already done the 5r routine multiple times and have tried every usb on both my current comp AND my old one that it'd previously worked on fine.

Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows

Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

try reseting your ipod. hold down the play/pause and the select buttons until the apple logo shows up

Ipod 5th generation speakers sound muffled, ipod 5th generation speakers sound muffled

Anyone know if there is a fix for muffled speakers?

Does that sound the same with earphones? Either way you might take it to an apple retail store to be checked out. Have you tried resetting by holding the power and hold buttons at the same time?

How do I know I'm buying a 5th Generation iPod??

I'm looking at buying a video iPod, but how do I know if it is a 5th Generation model? Is there a model number on the box. and what is the 5th Generation 30GB black video iPod model or part number?
Thanks!

an 'older' 5th gen ipod has U2's Bono shown on one
side of the box and the newer 'Late 2006' 5th gen
ipod's have Johnny Depp in an image from Pirates of
the Caribbean. If you're buying a black ipod, the
ipod shown on the box will be black. if you're buying
a white ipod the ipod on the box will be white. Hope
this helps.
Or It will have (on the other side,) Dani California's art/info on the screen.

I bought a new ipod 5th generation (30gig)2 and a half months from now.
Problems:
1.) I accidentally/i intended to reset my ipod while still connected to pc (windows xp->how stupid of me.
2.) After resetting all videos,songs etc... are gone but pic are still in my ipod-> where did they go?deleted perhaps?
3.) I deleted the itunes, restart my pc and reinstallitunes and again and restart my pc bec itunes no longer recognize my ipod->(itunes says:i need to have an ipod software updater to restore factory settings)
4.) I go to the apple website to download latest ipod updater then i saved it to: Save to disk
5.) Then in my pc desktop an icon for adobe:ipodsetup.exe->click it but it says:There was an error opening this document.The file is already open or in use by another application.-> cant understand what it implies...
6.) So because of that i deleted all the remaining files in my ipod which was MY PICS. so it leaves my ipod no songs etc as in empty as ever.
7.) I reset it twice and turned it ON->of course not connected to pc or anything-so i checked out the SETTINGS of my ipod, then to ABOUT, then discovered that -IPOD SONGS:0,VIDEOS:0,PHOTOS:0,CAPACITY:27.8(i have no questions about this i know why 2.2 was already consumed because of the menus/internal settins whatever), but AVAILABLE:23.5!!!!!!!!->WHY?I THOUGHT IT WILL GO BACK TO 27.8, does this mean my ipod has some defects or something?i took care of my ipod has a protective crystal casing, never fall of from my hands/while being use in short its my partner in life as of now.
8.) so if anyone who has a kind heart to hear my problems please help me..thank you

WOW, you have a big problem. My first suggestion is to restore your ipod, like btabz said. Other things you could do are 1). Send it in to a electronics store or apple.
2). Get a new ipod (LAST RESORT)
3). 5 R's- See http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/

2 ipods (4th & 5th generation), 1 itunes, different software

Yikes! I had a 4th generation click wheel 20gb ipod (black & white) that started acting up. After looking around these forums, I decided the hard drive was dying so I bought a new ipod (5th generation 30gb with video). Suddenly my old ipod came back to life. For a short time. Now I'm trying to sync it with my itunes and I'm getting a message about it being corrupt. When I look up 'corrupt' in the support section here, it says, "The message does not indicate that there is an issue with the iPod but that iTunes was unable to read the firmware file it uses to restore or update your iPod. You can delete the folder containing the firmware files so iTunes can download a useable (non-corrupted) version." I'm afraid if I mess with the itunes folders, I'll mess things up with my new ipod. Can anyone help me get my mind around this?

The updater to restore the iPod is now contained in iTunes version 7 or later. If you don't have it, get it here.
iTunes download.
Then use the updater to restore the iPod.
See: How to restore the iPod to factory settings.
None of this will "mess" with your iTunes library or files.

5th Generation iPod won't reset

Hi guys,
I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out. I just bought a new iPod 5th Generation (30gb with video). For some reason, it froze and won't reset. I've tried to do what apple.com says (hold menu and play buttons), but it doesn't work. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks a lot

Never mind. I was pressing the wrong buttons. Oh well, live and learn, right? Lol. Alright, so I'm good for now.
Thanks

5th Generation iPod wont show up on itunes

I recently got an iPod from someone, but when I plug it in my computer it won't show up in iTunes. When I got it, it had no battery at all. So I charged it and now I would say it is at about 75%. The iPod works fine, but I tried resetting it a few times and that didn't do anything. I want to restore it to factory settings but I need iTunes to do that, and iTunes isn't recognizing my iPod. It is a 5th generation 60GB. The iPod currently is fully charged.
