5th Generation iPod video locking up getting hot not respond

I have the 5thGen iPod...connected to 1.8 Dual G5 Power Mac w/ current OS X Tiger/iTunes current version/. The First couple of days it worked fine video(Handbrake converted DVD's),songs all worked great.
The last time I charged the iPod it was stuck in (do not disconnect mode) and very very hot! I reset it and it came back up... Later some of the video files would play then all the sudden I would get thrown out to the Menu list... Now I removed all the fles from the ipod and tried to reload them (video and audio files) itunes/ computer locks up while updating
Has anyone had these problems? did I get a bad iPod?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

5th generation iPod touch lock screen suddenly does not function/ or respond to touch?

     Recently, I was using my iPod touch to take a picture of the beach, while I was at the beach. It functioned perfectly well, but afterwards the lock screen did not respond to touch. It is 100% battery at the moment. Though my hands were just a tiny bit wet at the time, I do not believe the issue is hardware related. I also do not believe this is related to the fact that my hands were wet while using the device. This is because when I swipe down to open my notification on the lock screen, it responds to my touch. Although I cannot access any of the apps on notification center, and it will not respond when I click on notifications, the software does allow me to open notification center.
     I cannot slide to unlock my iPod touch, all of a sudden. Also, I cannot open the camera app via the lock screen either. When a friend texted me (through iMessage), a notification showed up on the lock screen. The only action the lock screen allows me to do is access the notification center.
     Also, when connected to my Mac and wall charger, it will charge. I am currently operating on iOS 7.1.1, so I have been due for a software update.
     Would updating through my iMac solve this problem? Also I plan on backing up all the data onto my computer (esp. photos). How should I solve this problem? If I were to upgrade to iOS 7.1.2 would it be helpful? I believe this is merely a software issue, not a hardware issue with the touch screen. I have had this iPod touch since February 2013 and it has a 32 GB capacity.
Thanks to everyone who answers
p.s. Has a similar issue like this ever occurred to anyone?

Does anyone know a converter from the new iTunes TV/movie file type to one that will work on my 5th generation iPod video?

I just tried to load some new TV shows from my iTunes onto my 5th generation iPod video and it says the video format is not supported. I currently have dozens of TV shows and movies on the iPod, I just wanted to put some new stuff on there. So I need to know if there is anyway of converting the new iTunes video format into one that will run on my 5th generation iPod.
Thnaks in advanced.

When you drag a movie from the Media Browser to the Time lIne in GarageBand, you will see a pop-up "Extracting Audio".
The Movie and the audio file will appear in separate tracks. You can copy the audio region from the sound track to a different track to keep it safe and then hide the Movie track.

Creative ZEN Vision:M or 5th Generation iPOD Video ?

So which one would you pick? The ZEN or the iPOD. Yes, I know most people would say the ipod since this is an apple board but this ZEN Vision:M business is pretty awesome.
If you had the option to return your ipod and get the ZEN Vision, would you ? I mean, come on, look at this thing. Its a beast !
I also wanted to ask if anyone owns this thing ? i wanna ask a few questions about. i.e. battery life (since the ipod totally wreaks in that subject), compatability, other things..

Re: 4 hours playback... See my explanation about how Creative arrived at their playback times vs. how Apple arrived at theirs. If you want to listen to 64kbps WMA files, and watch 500kbps MPEG4 video, go right ahead. You could get the same result on your iPod listening to 64kbps AAC files and watching 500kbps MPEG4 video.
Re: double the songs... again, see my explanation about how Creative arrived at their 15,000 number vs. how Apple arrived at their 7,500 number (hint: 64kbps WMA files vs. 128kbps AAC files)
Re: more audio formats... yes. the Vision:M adds the ability to play WMA files (the iPod can play MP3 and WAV files)
Re: more video formats... yes. The Vision:M adds the ability to play MPEG1/2, WMV9, Motion-JPEG, and XviD.
Re: FM radio, recorder, voice recorder, yes. Points to Vision:M.
Re: iPod's batter turning red with 2 hours left to go... the battery meter is an estimate, nothing more. If it really bothers you and you can't ignore it, put a piece of black electrical tape over it. My battery meter is fairly accurate, but I've ran my iPod completely dead and charged it up completely 2x since I've bought it. Seems to have helped.
Re: scratching issue.. seems like there were a few people on those engadget posts that were complaining about their Zen (non-vision:M) scratching up pretty bad. My guess is the Vision:M will have the same problems (but that's a guess).
So, summary... If you need a FM radio/recorder, or a voice recorder, or don't want to transcode video you already have in a supported Vision:M format, or have your audio in WMA format, and are willing to deal with the extra width and cost, then the Vision:M might be for you. Be aware that Creative's battery life numbers are even more unapplicable to real-world use than Apple's are (I don't know of anyone that listens to 64kbps music anymore, and who would encode their video at 500kbps MPEG4?).

5th generation ipod has 'locked' up!

I don't get it. My ipod, a 5th generation ipod, has a dimly lit screen, it displays "Do Not Disconnect". I have been through the 5 R's on Apples site, to no avail. I cannot get the pod to shut off, or respond in any way. Also, iTunes doesn't even see it. Any help, greatly appreciated.

Personally, I would disconnect and reset while connected to a power outlet (of course you need a wall charger for that). Then if the iPod is seen when you reconnect to the computer reformat it again. If all else fails go to the Apple Store or call Applecare.

5th generation iPod video help!

I dropped my iPod video today and the iPod told me to restart it but when I plug it into the computer the inside started to make these scratchy sounds..?

It's likely that something was knocked out of place/damaged with the hard drive when your iPod was dropped. If the iPod is no longer functioning properly, it's a good sign that your hard drive needs to be replaced.

5th generation ipod video

cant put music on itune from my ipod????

What is exactly happening when you connect your iPod to your computer for a sync?
i.e., does the iPod not get recognized by iTunes, iTunes displays a particular error messages, etc.
If you're getting any message, could you quote what it says? Or, if you're not getting any message, could you describe what happens when you connect your iPod?
Thanks for the info. That way, we can help you with your issue if we have a few more details about the situation.

5th generation ipod is recognized by computer but not by itunes.

Every time I try to sync, iTunes doesn't respond. I just get the spinning beach ball and I must force quit. The computer recognizes the ipod but not Itunes. Both work fine independent of each other.

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...

Syncing 5th generation ipod but where are the movies?

After syncing my 5th generation ipod video to get recently bought movies, I can't seem to see the movies, TV shows or music videos when I disconnect the ipod from the computer. Is there a setting or something I'm suppose to do or am I missing something?
Windows XP

Hi There,
I think it could be one of 2 things. In itunes (7.1.1) when you plug in your ipod and the summary screen for the ipod appears got to the movies tab and make sure the 'sync movies' box is ticked also below this it should say 'all movies'. Do the same for TV Shows tab. This should help http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304708
Or on your ipod go to settings>mainmenu>and make sure movies or tv shows are set to 'on' they will then show in the main screen of your ipod.
Jeff could be right, but I thought the music was still syncing ok.

5th generation iPod Classic Battery Replacement

I just replaced the battery in my 5th generation iPod video after having it for four years. I followed the instructions that's supposed to help me get the most out of my battery. The battery life did increase. However, I expected a little more life from it. I'm thinking maybe I should reset/restore my iPod to original factory settings. Is this a good idea? Does anyone have any insight on this subject?

It won't do any harm... It will just make it like it was syncing for the first time. Music, video, and picture will be erased and other things will be reset; you will just have to re-tailor it to your liking.
For your situation, however, I don't think it's necessary. How long do you usually get out of it?

5th generation ipod games no longer supported???

I have a 60 GB 5th generation iPod video. I had a hard drive crash and lost all of the games that I had downloaded from the itunes store. Now, iTunes has restored all of my purchased items, but my 5th generation games don't seem to have appeared during the download. And, when I go to the app store, I can't even seem to find the games available for download anymore. Does iTunes no longer support games for the 5th generation iPod????

Hover the mouse over Apps, click the triangle which appears, and choose iPod Click Wheel games.

5th Generation IPOD Charging icon incorrect

I have a 5th generation IPOD Video which has been exhibiting strange behavior. When the charger is plugged in, the battery icon indicates charging and when unplugged from the wall, the charging indicator goes away...but, when the cable is unplugged from the IPOD, the icon shows that the IPOD is plugged in. If you plug the cable (with wall adapter) back in, the battery icon does not show the "plug" anymore. It seems as though it's confused as to what state it's in. Also, when playing it, it will randomly freeze up. Sometimes it can be reset, other times it has to be plugged in to be reset - almost as if it needs more power. I tried putting in a new battery but it exhibits the same symptoms. Any ideas? Thanks...Craig

Some of my symptoms seem to be the same as another post in this forum by:

iPod always thinks it's being charged, never turns off

Even when you try to hold the play button down and put the ipod in sleep mode, the ipod shows the charging screen.

How can i get my photos and videos back after backing up from my 2nd generation ipod into my 5th generation ipod? I really need those photos but i dont know how.

I downloaded the new itunes. So, i plugged in my 5th generation ipod and when i plugged it in, it asked me if i want to set it as new ipod or back up from the 2nd generation ipod touch that i plugged in before, i accidently clicked on the back up from before so it when its done, it looked like my 2nd gen. ipod and i dont like it. All my photos and videos from 5th gen. Ipod were all gone and there are some pictures that i really need as soon as possible. Is there a way i can i can get those photos and videos back? I really need them. :(

If so, then they are gone.

My 5th generation Ipod locks up when I try to play a video? I did the factory reset (ugh) and still, total lock up with video. Any suggestions?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
