6th gen software on 5th gen hardware?

Is it possible to hack an ipod and put 6th generation software (with coverflow and all that) on a 5th generation 30GB video ipod?
Im assuming no, but just checking to see if any of you geniuses know a way.

How?
I am trying to do the same thing.

I am experiencing network failures with my Airport Extremes: the main router is a 2nd Gen, the extension a 5th Gen. The 5th Gen keeps on losing connection with the main router. Any ideas why?

The 5th Gen keeps on losing connection with the main router and thus with the internet.
Any ideas why?

Is the second Extreme configured to "extend" the network created by the first? If so its position must be such that it has a strong wireless connection to the first Extreme. If it is at the limits of the first one's wireless range its connection will be tenuous. Place them closer together and determine if that makes a difference.

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.

Can you trade in your ipod touch 4 gen for the 5th gen

about 1 year ago i brought the 4gen ipod touch but i would like to get the ipod touch 5gen can you trade it in and pay the diffrence if not i will have to get the nexus 7 32GB

There is no trade-in program. There is the 10% recycling credit.
Better to sell your iPod Touch, and use the money to buy the 5th generation.
NOTE: These forums are User-to-User, so you are NOT telling Apple that you will be buying a Nexus 7. If you want to tell Apple, then use the feedback page <http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html>

ITunes 7 not syncing Address Book with 2nd Gen Nano or 5th Gen iPod

I try to 'tick' the contacts, but it keeps saying "No contacts in your address book". Only there is - lots of them.
iTunes syncs everything else, including calendars, but refuses to sync contacts.
Any ideas?

Well, I've just had the OS re-installed for the third time and it appears to be working again. For now...

5Th Gen AE Does Not Assign IP Address in Bridge Mode

I have three AEs in my house...two of which are 4th gen and one is 5th gen, and two of which are set up as bridge (a 4th gen and a 5th gen). The 5th gen does not generate ip addresses reliably...everytime I go to the room where the 5th gen AE is I have to turn off the wifi on my device and turn it back on to get an ip address. This happens 100% of the time. I have tried my MBP, as well as my iPhones (4s and 5.) I also noticed the ip address that is being assigned for the bridges is of totally different denimination. The 4th gen bridge gets an ip of 10.0.1.4 where as the 5th gen gets a 192.168.1.76...the DHCP address range for the main is 10.0.1.2 through 100 and it should be assigned one of those ips. I'm kinda suspecting this is why the bridge is not working properly. I just don't understand why this unit is acting this way. Any input to help solve this mystery will be greatly appreciated. CHEERS:-)

Did resetting to factory help this issue? I'm having the same problem with my 5th and 3rd gen AE's. I've added a new router (pfSense) and only need the AE's for access points. The following is the result on some problem tracking:
Working on my network ip addressing issue. I shut everything down. I brought up my internal wired network of pfSense router, internal switches, appleTv units, printers and a couple of computers. All Addresses were correctly assigned. I released/renewed the ip addresses to check if the address assigned would remain correct, and this test passed.
I then connected my cable modem to the internet, which connected with no problem. I then again tested release/renew of addresses, and this test pasted with no problems. And I had internet access.
My internal network follows the 10.0.1.xxx address range. I leave 20-99 open as my dynamic range, and assign my AppleTv, DirecTv, SlingBox, and MacMini server to static addresses via MAC reservation. All these are functioning correctly.
Final test. I add my Airport Extreme 5th gen, which is in bridge mode, with no guest network, and the light turns green. I open up my MacBook, connect via WiFi, and the address is 192.168.100.34, not correct. I turn WiFi on my MacBook off, then I turn it on, after three cycles I get a correct ip address.
I confirm via airport utility my settings. I see nothing to change. I replace my Airport Extreme 5th gen , with my older Airport Extreme 3rd gen, and I once again get a 192.168.100.22 address which is not correct. I cycle the WiFi setting in my MacBook and after a few cycles, I get a correct address.
My DHCP server is an older Dell system running the linux based software pfSense. I made this change after I started getting bad IP addresses from my Airport Extreme 5th gen. My cable modem is a Zoom 5431J DOCSIS 3.0. But my first test was verifying the assignment of addresses from pfSense, without the cable modem.
I've powered off both Airport Extremes and have checked the settings. Not sure what else I might try with these Extreme units.

Can someone confirm that the iPod nano 5th gen will play bought games?

Does the iPod nano 5th generation play games bought on iTunes Store for iPods with click-wheel? The iTunes Store says the games are for 3rd / 4th gen nanos and 5th gen iPods / iPod Classics. As the iPod nano 5th gen has a different aspect ratio / screen size to the older models, will these games work on it?
Thanks!

ITunes claims my 5th gen ipod has old software, but won't let me update

I have two ipods... one an old 3rd gen scroll wheel ipod that just seemed to go kaput... it wasn't showing up in the iTunes source list or on my desktop. So I followed some directions on the apple site to try to restore it:
"Step 1
Delete the file using Terminal
Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities).
Type: sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/iPodDriver.kext
Press Return.
Enter the administrator account password when prompted.
Quit Terminal.
Restart the computer (From the Apple menu, choose Restart).
Step 2
Reinstall iTunes
Download the latest version of iTunes from the iTunes download page.
Install iTunes.
Restart the computer after the installation has completed.
Connect iPod.
Step 3
Delete the iPod.plist file
Remove the following file in the your home directory and launch the iPod updater again
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ipod.plist"
Anyway none of this worked for my old ipod (I think it's dead) but here's my new problem. Since I did this I plugged in my new ipod, 5th gen black 60g, and I got an error message that said:
"Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the iPod "Honey" because your iPod software is too old. Go to the summary tab in iPod preferences and click Update to get the latest iPod software update."
When I went to the Summary page the whole "Version" section is grayed out and it says "Your iPod is up to date."
What is going on and how can I fix it?
iPod 5th gen 60g/powerbook g4 1.33ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I am having the same problem. I'm wanting to update to iOS 7, the 'Update Now' button is available, but it says I can't download due to no Internet connection. I DO have an Internet connection, but either way it won't let me update. Help!

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!

Can you trade in your ipod touch 5th gen for a ipod touch 6th gen

I can't wait for the iPod 6 to come out, and I am wondering if you're able to trade in your 5th gen for the 6th gen? I've only had my iPod Touch 5g for a year and there are little to no scratches. How much of credit would I get for it? Also, I still have all of the original packaging.

Since there is no iPod touch 6th generation no one can answer that. At this time, the only credit you can get from Apple is 10% off a new iPod if you recycle your current iPod.

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.

Help! New 5th gen problem with Software version 1.2.3!

Just when you thought you havn't heard about enough problems with the new ipod software here comes a weird one. My Ipod still plays songs and the usual stuff. But the timer at the bottom of the screen that tells you how far you are into the song gets off track, slows down, and eventually starts ticking 3 seconds per 1 real second. And ill start hereing glitches and pauses in the music. And its every song it happens. Thanks for the help!

Hi,
I had the same problem. I upgraded my 30G to 1.2.2, and everything looked fine. However, when I disconnected my iPod there were no music or video files showing. But the hard drive space showing as Available under Settings>About>Available indicates that the hard rive space for my muic and videos is still being used. I read a lot of posts about 1.2.2 problems and 7.5 upgrade for iTunes being the fix. I would go to the Help tab in iTunes and tell it to check for upgrade, and it would tell me that 7.5 was avialable. I would click yes to download but nothing happened. I tried this many times, with my iPod connected, not connected, rebooting, etc, it was enough to go insane.
Here is how I solved it. I went to: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
and downloaded the entire iTunes 7.5 instead of the upgrade. After it installed itself, I rebooted, opened iTunes, and connected my iPod, it synced and now it is back to normal. Beware, if you try resetting your iPod, it warns that it will erase the contents of your iPod hard drive.
I have windows XP, hp laptop, and a 5th gen 30G.
Hope that helps solve your problem.

Can the 5th gen lanyard be used on the 6th gen?

I have a 6th gen ipod nano and i was hoping if someone knew if the lanyard for the 5th gen is compatible?

Welcome to the Apple Community.

Yes you can have two or more devices using homesharing on the same network, just be sure to give them different names.

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.
