5th Generation 80GB iPOD - Questions about functionality

All - I have a new 80GB video iPOD. The question I have is if I leave it just sit on my desk overnight and not plugged into my PC or power, I come in the next morning and go to use it and it seems as though it is shutdown. I press the button to turn it on, an Apple appears and it boots up. After that it appears to be fine, I am just curious if this is normal or not? Thanks in advance!

5th generation video iPod USB not working

Hi, my 15 month old iPod 5th generation video no longer connects with USB on my iBook (all my other USB devices work just fine in the two USB 2 ports).
The screen lights when iPod is plugged in and when unplugged using USB, but that appears to be the in toto communication performed.
I have performed the five Rs, and putting the iPod into disc mode yields the expected result on the screen of the iPod (tick and OK to disconnect) but no connection to the computer (yes, I have plugged/unplugged a number of times).
I have disconnected the battery (as another poster suggested) for several minutes and that does not seem to have helped in resetting the system.
It charges just fine via Firewire (either by a Firewire port on my iBook or by an Apple Firewire AC adaptor type charger), with absolutely no charging taking place when connected with USB (either by a USB 2 port on my iBook (G4 2004 model) or by an Apple USB AC adaptor type charger).
I have also tried three different USB cables, one old, two brand new Apple ones (all of which work just fine on my old 4th gen iPod, my daughter's 3rd gen iPod and my partner's two 4th gen iPods).
When I run the inbuilt diagnostics on the iPod, all of them come back as ok, including USB, both as charging and communication, so, in theory, everything should be ok, but most patently isn't.
I have tried to use the iPod on a Windows 2000 computer and an older iMac (both of which otherwise work fine with other iPods either using USB and Firewire) with nil recognition by any.
I've looked in the wide dock connection plug at the bottom of the iPod as another poster said that the connection pins might be bent, however, I can't see any actual pins, just a wide tongue in the middle, the same as on my other older iPod. Or do I need to open up the iPod and look for something in there?
Judging by the nr of comments and questions on similar issues here with the 5th generation video iPod, there should be a definitive fix for this problem, although, after looking through as much of the forums that might relate to this problem, no one seems to have come up with an explanation, let alone a solution for it.
So, my question remains, my iPod 5th generation video no longer connects with USB on my iBook, has anyone else (taking into account the above information), either had/have this problem and or found a resolution to it?
Cheers, Peter

Dear deggie, hi, thanks for the tip as to what I should be looking for in the slot. However, sadly, it all looks to be fine (well, at least the same as my other iPod).
HR, thanks for the tip re opening the iPod, unfortunately, it is 15 months old, so well past the 12 month warranty expiry (ridiculous, isn't it?).
Here in Australia, we don't have access to Genius Bars and Apple Stores, just the local distributors, and they want $210 to repair/replace the iPod, which, frankly I find a bit rich, considering that it hasn't been mistreated in any way and the other iPod I have has been running fine for more than two years.
I get the feeling, judging by the many complaints on these forums regarding the problems that the gen 5 iPod being recognised and connecting to both Mac and Windows, that this cannot just be purely user error or maltreatment. However, I'm unsure as to what can be done to resolve them or get Apple to admit to there being a problem.
One of the things that confuses me, is that all the internal diagnostics (menu + select then select + back) including USB communication, all come back fine, when, as mentioned in an above post, it most patently is not. Anyone have any clues as to what this might be due to?
If, by some bizarre fluke, I manage to find a resolution to this problem (short of going and paying Apple $210), I'll post back here with it.
Again, thanks for the help, cheers, Peter

Itunes playlists no longer showing up in my 5th Gen 80GB ipod

Ok, my ipod 5th Gen 80GB ipod works fine, all of my music is in there, and I can successfully sync with the latest version of itunes. The problem is: I can see my playlists in itunes on my laptop, I can sync my ipod successfully, but the playlists do not show up on my ipod. I have already tried resetting my ipod and restarting my computer.
I'm stumped on this one

Hello steelydan0613,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
How do you have your iPod set up to sync music? Manually or automatically? If you sync automatically, how do you have your iPod set up to sync music from under its Music tab in iTunes? You may want to double check these settings.

5th Generation 16gb IPod Touch screen unresponsive

I have a 5th Generation 16gb IPod touch and the screen became unresponsive just today. Just a couple minute after using it just fine, the screen became unresponsive to anything, not swiping, tapping, sliding... nothing. The screen turns on and off, and the Sleep/Wake button works. So does the home screeen. But i cant swipe to unlock it or swipe to turn it off.i did not drop it, get it wet, press to hard on it, i was holding it and taking a picture. then pressed the Sleep/Wake button and then turned it on a couple minutes later and the screen was unresponsive. I dont have any money to get a new one, and i dont have the warranty for it. i propbobly might take it to the apple store to get it checked out. one of my friends said that it has three layers a light layer and other one. she said the light layer got unwired or something and the apple store got it fixed. I cannot pay too much for it and definately will be getting a screenprotecter and cas e for it IFF it gets fixed. my other ipod had a similar problem, and i cant offord to lose another one.
Any help would be VERY appreaciated

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My 4th Generation 80GB iPod is alternating between the Apple logo & the low battery screen

My 4th Generation 80GB iPod isn't opening iTunes or otherwise being recognized when I connect it to my computer. Instead, it keeps alternating between the Apple logo & the "Please wait, very low battery" screen, even though I just charged it yesterday.
Any advice would be deeply appreciated, thanks!

Shortly after this message was posted, this mysterious, annoying and quite upsetting issue occurred yet again. (The issue originally happened when I tried to plug my iPod into my Windows 7 notebook via the USB cord that came with the device.)
So I tried plugging it into the gadget for my car's cigarette lighter, therefore using a different cord. Sadly, the Apple logo and "very low battery" message reappeared and kept alternating. Same thing when I plugged in my headphones.
But I wasn't going to let that deter me from trying again. The next stop consisted of plugging it into someone else's MacBook Pro. Wouldn't you know, suddenly my iPod was functioning again! The screen lit up with that lovely "Do not disconnect" message and iTunes launched. (Maybe it needed some Apple-on-Apple love?) Furthermore, my iPod now works with my Windows notebook again — along with all the other methods mentioned in this post.
In conclusion, should you find yourself in the same predicament, try hooking it up to a Mac. I don't know how or why, but that's what worked for me.
Cheers,

TS1425 5th Generation Nano iPod. The iPod syncs on iTunes when I connect it to my MAC, but when I try to add a song from iTunes to the iPod, I receive the message "Cannot be synced, unknown error occurred (1039)

5th generation iPod Nano - iPod syncs with my iTunes and I can see it in iTunes, but when I try to move a song from my iTunes to the iPod I get an error message "Cannot by synced, Unknown error occurred (1039). System works fine with my 4th generation iPod Nano. I'm afraid to "RESET" my iPod because I may not be able to restore my music and videos afterwards.

Where can i buy 5th gen 80GB ipod?

Now that the new ipod clasic is out replacing the 5th gen ipod, which i think is much nicer looking, whats going to happen to all the 5th gen ipods? I have a 60GB now and want to upgrade to to an 80, but i dont want to buy the "classic" because i think the full metal jacket looks ugly.

*i dont want to buy a refurb.*
Because?
A refurb is identical to a new model except it is a lot cheaper.
Same warranty, same accessories, new case, etc.
*there should be plenty of new 5th gen ipods out there.*
There should be some but they are still going to be $349.
A new 5G 80GB iPod video is going to cost the same as the 160GB iPod Classic.
They are not going to be discounted anywhere.

My ipod 5th generation say ipod disable connect to itunes how do i do it

m y ipod 5th generation is saying disable connect to itunes?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

My songs on itunes will not upload on to my new 5th generation touch ipod

The songs I got off from youtube and converted on to itunes will not upload on to my new 5th generation i-pod? The message says that itunes can't find the songs. I have 387 songs from youtube and I don't want to have to convert them again.

The message means what it says. iTunes can't find the actual music files. You can confirm that by trying to play the songs in iTunes on the computer.
- Try:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
- Next reimport them

The (sad) tales of a 5th Gen 80Gb iPod classic

Hey folks,
So here's my story: for years, I had a 10 Gb iPod. I bought it when the model had just come out, so you can do the math of how long ago that was. Over all years of using that iPod, I never ever had a single problem with it. I always used it on my Windows PC, no problems at all.
The story sadly changed when I bought my new 80Gb 5th Gen. iPod (which was bought a couple months before the touch models came out, so it's now a Classic - sorry, that part always entertains me).
Since buying that one, I've had a few problems I never experienced before. Songs that always played perfectly on my old iPod seemed to freeze the new one (I kept a copy of most songs on an external HD, so I could listen to them at work and so on, which made it easier to upload them to the new one). 99.9% of the songs came from CDs I own, and ripped through iTunes, mind you.
For that and other reasons, I had to learn quickly how to reboot my new iPod, something I'd never done on the old one.
And now, the greatest problem of all is here: since I installed iTunes 7.5 on my PC, it crashed a couple times while managing my iPod. Earlier today, after it happened for the last time, I recalled iTunes to notice that many of my songs on my iPod - HUNDRED, mind you - are now missing. As I go through the list of songs in my iPod, I get the "white exclamation mark inside the grey circle" next to the name of the songs. As I try to play them on iTunes, they don't play. As I try to play them on the iPod, it automatically skips to the next song.
No, I do not automatically sync my songs, which means there's no reason it should look for them again. They simply "disappeared" physically from my iPod apparently.
I called Apple about it. The first tech person was, with all due respect, useless. His suggestions were simply "reformat my computer" (???) and "reformat my iPod," but he gave me no explanation whatsoever for why (does "because my sheet says so" sound familiar?).
I finally got to talk to a supervisor, who did sound extremely more proficient and knowledgeable about what she was saying. In her opinion, for one reason or another (again, ???), my iPod lost the path to those songs. So, although they are physically in there, the iPod doesn't know anymore how to actually find them to play. Her suggestion, unfortunately, is also to reformat my iPod, and reupload all the songs. This, however, would not save any of the Playlists that took me forever to fine tune, as there is no way of saving Playlists from iPod they know.
I am officially scared right now that I will spend hours reformatting the iPod and reuploading the songs, just to have the iPod do the same thing again, to the same or other songs. The other option I can think of is to reupload just these "hundreds" of songs manually, but, again, what's to say it won't happen again?
In some ways, I do miss my trouble free older iPod.
Hope this helps someone who may be considering a change, or may be experiencing something similar. If you are, I'd appreciate some input on the matter!
Have a good one, folks,
D.

Just wanted to give you guys an update: my iPod now works again fully, without having reformatted it, as Apple suggested.
I was reading some other posts around here, and decided to try something before going for the ultimate/decimating solution: redownloaded iTunes and reinstalled it. Install of checking for updates, I just went to Apple's site, and downloaded the whole thing. Plugged in my iPod, and now it all works! All the songs that wouldn't play before are now working just fine, as before.
Seems to me there's something funky on iTunes 7.5 for Windows or the upgrade process, which wasn't there in previous versions.
Hope this helps!

5th gen 80GB ipod - no sound ?!?!?

I have an 80GB 5th gen ipod. I'm getting no sound from the headphone port or from my FM tuner, but I can play my ipod when it's plugged into my laptop via iTunes. My friend had this issue a few years ago and Apple replaced his ipod because it was a "known issue". Is this still available...and if so, how do I proceed?

I may be wrong but if you shut down your computer you should be fine to disconnect. When you shut down Vista will end whatever program is accessing the iPod, and it SHOULD do that safely. Then again, I would wait until another person seconds me on that.
