Apple Recenly Upgraded Classic Model from 6th Generation to 7th Generation

Apple Recenly Upgraded Classic Model from 6th Generation to 7th Generation & Increased the Price! What are the Differences between 6th & 7th Generation iPod Classic?

They have not upgraded it, unless your definition of "recently" is different from mine. But it's the same price and specs as it was over a year ago, maybe even before that.

Apple has not said anything about that so no one on here would now. All we can do is wait and see.

Can apple put an update for ipod 6th generation so that it gives better quality sound?

I have an ipod 6th generation and i have heard a lot about apple's popular white earphones. The problem is that my ipod don't give enough volume to enjoy music from those white earphones. Can apple bring something new in their updates to fix this issue???
HELP !!!

You must realize that the quality of sound has been compromised by the very fact of compression and equipment. You are never likely to experience the nature of a live event by listening on an iPod. The best solution is to get a better quality of earbuds/ earphones/ headphones to improve the playback experience. The higher quality headphones such as Bose, Sennheiser, Sony have capabilities to counter ambient interference ( Bose noise-cancelling for example), and they have a better quality speaker than the Apple earbuds. This standard issue bit of kit is more of a courtesy to iPod buyers so that they will have something right out of the box in order to listen to their music but they are not the highest audio quality. The best audio quality will cost every bit as much as, or even more than, the cost of an iPod. As for turning up the volume, that is a foolish undertaking that can have long-term consequences on your hearing. Tinnitus cannot be cured! You will live with it unto your last days.

I am going from an Ipod classic to a 6th generation ipod nano . The full library will not fit on the nano. How do i switch out music on the nano?

I went from an i pod classic to a nano. My music library is larger than what synced on my nano. I want to switch to some different music in my library, how do I do this?

So is mine...by about 150GB, LOL (I've been around awhile, and have LOTS of music). Anyway, how I do it is either delete/uncheck stuff in iTunes (Not efficient as you have to select each, individual song that you want to delete/uncheck. You can't just delete/uncheck an entire album. Hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple entries) or delete things from the iTunes Music folder.
If you delete them in iTunes, you have the option of keeping the files or sending them to the Trash (Mac speak for the Recycle Bin; don't do this unless you have backup copies. I'm being overly cautious, but never hurts to have backups). Then you'd have to sync your Music manually or all the songs in your Library may try and add themselves back onto your iPod. Although, if you just uncheck them (haven't tried it) that may not be a problem.
The Music folder may be much quicker - I haven't tried this as it didn't occur to me until after I deleted stuff in iTunes. It's located in My Documents > My Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music - I think that's right but don't quote me as my PC is on its way out the door to a charity. I'm on a Mac, now. Check iTunes for the location, to be sure. Anyway, make a copy of the Music folder and put it somewhere safe (pretty much, anywhere else on your PC). Then, open the Music folder, in the iTunes Media folder, and delete away. This is also not uber efficient, but it's workable as long as you have a backup.
Saving your Music folder may not be necessary as iTunes now has the option of retrieving everything you've ever purchased (click on Purchased, in the left column, click on Download Previous Purchase at the lower, right and then click on the Music tab). This didn't used to be an option; used to be, you had to repurchase any Music you lost in iTunes and from your computer.
As soon as you're down to a decent level in iTunes, start adding more music and then sync your iPod. Not sure if you can drag and drop into iTunes on a PC (you can on a Mac), but you could try that. I forget exactly as I haven't touched my PC in over 6 months...which is why it's on its way out the door. After I install a new hard drive (I have one lying around), reinstall basic Windows then bake my old hard drive before putting it in the trash. LOL
I may not be quite correct about everything I've told you as all my music is stored on/copied to an external drive (even stuff I purchase through iTunes), so I just toss things in the trash as I see fit, drag stuff out, off my external drive, drop them into iTunes and sync. Plus, I'm just a skosh rusty on a PC.
If I haven't gotten everything quite right, someone will probably be along and give you better/more/more concise info.

Will there be an iPod touch 6th generation in the near future?

Hi there, I am a proud iPod user and around two years ago I upgraded my iPod from a 2nd generation to a 5th generation. However, this particular iPod was not purchased at an Apple Store, it was purchased at a pawn shop and claimed it was " never opened". I should have trusted my instincts but I was thinking "hey a cheaper price and its new!" Obviously I could not get AppleCare because it wasn't purchasee at an Apple Store, and it is now bugging out Two years later which wouldn't be under apple care anyway. So I have been doing research on the iPod 6th genreaction thinking that when it came out that I should upgrade, IF it came out. I've been hearing rumors that apple is discontinuing the iPod FOR GOOD. I find this hard to believe but I guess now everyone listens to music on their iphones. Anyway, I am conflicted to just buy a brand new iPod 5 or if I should wait for an ipod 6, but will there even be one? Am I just wasting my time for something that is not even being created? I just don't know if I should try to get a good deal on one or if I should wait another couple of months. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Sorry, only Apple knows if there's a 6th generation iPod.
We users like yourself are not in the loop.

Why my 1st generation nano earbuds not working with 6th generation nano?

Hi there,
I had a 1st generation iPod Nano and Apple just replaced it with a 6th generation nano, however the earbuds jack of my 1st gen does not fit all the way into the 6th gen, it leaves a tiny bit outside and I couldn't push it all the way in, though I could hear sounds through the earbuds. Is there anyone out there that experience this? I thought the earbuds connector is universal.
Also, I'm not sure if this is related to the earbuds not fitting all the way in. My new Nano shuts itself off about 1 minute or 2 after I turn it on, I am thinking it may think there is no earbuds connected to it, could this be why?
Thanks for any help!
Ray.

Push harder, the headphone jack on the 6 is very tight when new.

Upgrading Apple iPod Touch (MC544LL/A 32GB 4th Generation) from iOS 4.3.5 to iOS 5

could some boody guide me about how to upgrade an Apple iPod Touch (MC544LL/A 32GB 4th Generation) from iOS 4.3.5 to iOS 5. i have itunes 10.6.1. when i try to upgrade it gives me an option to upgrade it to iOS 5.1.1 but i dont want to do that as i have a custom app which can only run on iOS 5.0. Any suggestions would be welcome
regards
kalpesh

Kalpesh:
"Back in the day" one could roll back an iPod to a previous version because of how Apple controlled updates. Later on, Apple decided to change the process. That change makes it impossible to roll back to a previous version of iOS.
Basically, Apple forces iTunes to "phone home," and request permission to update your device. At that point Apple's update server looks at your device type, device id, and iOS version. If you are running an older version of iOS, and if your hardware is supported by the latest version, then iTunes is allowed to update your device. Roll back are not permitted. Period, end of story....
So then you have two choices:
1. Do not update your iPod to 5.1.1
2. Have the app written for 5.1.1 and then upgrade your iPod.
Oh, and if you still have doubts, let your mouse cursor do the walking and search the archives... And Google will no doubt find TONS of info about this...

I just purchased a 120gb iPod classic 6th generation from a friend. I have the latest iTunes installed and the software on the iPod is also current. My problem is whenever I'm syncing the iPod and iTunes freezes between the 250- 300th song...

I just purchased a 120gb iPod classic 6th generation from a friend. I have the latest iTunes installed and the software on the iPod is also current. My problem is whenever I'm syncing the iPod and iTunes freezes between the 250- 300th song... I have to manually reset the iPod for the iTunes to run correctly, but then my music isn't added and iTunes tells me I have to restore the iPod... I've done this numerous times only to no avail... Someone please help!!!

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Does anyone know if the Apple Ipod 6th generation will play audio books from MP3 Format?

Does anyone know if the Apple IPod 6th Generation will play Audio Books formated in MP3? Thank you.

It'll play MP3 files. Import them into an iTunes library and transfer them to it.

So is the 7th generation iPod Nano in fact a 6th generation iPod Nano with a software upgrade only ?

I went to buy a 7th Generation Nano from a local Apple store and when I gto home to set it up, I found out that it had the old software (i.e. small icons and only two clock faces). I took it back to the Apple store and they informed me that it was the latest model (i.e. 6th gen) and that I had to update the Software to make it a 7th gen model..... this all seems contrary to the following article on the 7th gen tear down....

Same thing with us. We were told that no "new" stock was brought in to the store, just they lowered the price on the current xtg inventory, so buy it now as you don't need the nike kit. Here's apple's own link showing gen 6 as current:
http://support.apple.com/specs/#Nano
Seems like a good way to inject a few more sales as the "new version" at the keynote got our attention. The gen is moot for us as it seems to be working for us so far as it held a charge overnight powered off. We still are testing that it doesn't drain down too fast for our uses running. If it works for what you want, does it really matter what you or someone else wants to call it?

If you want, need, and the item works for you - just buy it and enjoy it.

Building a 240gb IPOD classic 6th generation???

I have been doing a lot of research and I haven't found an exact answer to my question. Right now I have a 6th generation 80GB ipod classic. I have run out of storage and I really need 240GB. I bought a rebuilt 240GB 7th generation Ipod from ebay a few days ago for ($274), I received it and I dont like the fit and finish of it. It looks like the wheel and faceplate are aftermarket replacements so it does not sit flush against the rear case and neither does the wheel to faceplate, there is an excessive gap around the circumference of the wheel and the faceplate, and the screen flickers at times, so I am going to return it. I primarily use my ipod for mountain biking and cycling so it gets exposed to sweat and rain. My 80GB has never failed under these conditions for 5+years, and I think this ebay version will fail very quickly.
I would like to know what are all the parts needed to make a 240GB hard drive work in my 6th generation ipod classic. I know if I install a 240GB hard drive in my 6th generation ipod it will only read 128GB. So can I replace the logic board in my ipod with a 7th generation ipod? I can find the 7th generation logic boards for ($60+) on ebay, then buy the 240gb hard drive ($86) and 6th generation (thick)160GB rear cover ($10) new 850mAh battery ($10). That would be a $166 upgrade..... Is that all I would need? Would the logic board be a direct swap, or would I need a different connector, screen, etc? I would prefer to just modify my 6th generation ipod since I know it works and it seems like it could be the cheapest way, and I don't need two ipods so I feel like it would be a waste to buy another one.
My other option is to buy a new 160GB 7th generation ipod classic ($230), and buy the 240gb hard drive ($86) and 6th generation (thick)160GB rear cover ($10). That would put me around $326....
I would prefer not to take another gamble and buying another ipod off of ebay, so I would like to keep it to these two options..... If buying a 7th generation is the only way, could I then put the 160gb hard drive in my 6th generation? Would it still only read 128gb max? Would the hard drive be the only thing I would need to swap? From what I read it appears all the thin (6th and 7th) ipod classics used the same hard drive connector. To make the 160gb hard drive work, would I again need a 7th generation logic board?
Do I need a new headphone jack? Ive heard that it may need to be replaced but I dont remember for what ipod versions. Does this apply to my thin 6th generation, or the thin 7th, or neither?
Could someone please give me a complete parts list for making a 240gb 6th generation AND a 240gb 7th generation. Thanks!

You obviously know A LOT about this already. I hear the "iPod classic" is known to be VERY difficult to pry open. If your current iPod classic is working well, do you REALLY need more than 80GB of music when you go mountain biking. If you replaced it with a new iPod classic, do you really need more than 160GB of music.
I have a smart playlist, where I start out with ALL of my music, but exclude things I don't usually want on my iPod, such as Holiday Music, Classical Music, Soundtrack Music, etc. For my smaller capacity flash-based iPod, I have a smart playlist that starts with ALL of my music, then randomly selects a subset of songs that fits below the capacity limit of that iPod. In both cases, I manage my iTunes library to fit the iPod, instead of making expensive and potentially damaging upgrades to my iPod to fit my iTunes library.
I understand that some folks just like doing these upgrades for the sake of doing the upgrade, and I can certainly understand that...
Here's another high-cool-factor approach. Replace the hard drive with a standard Compact Flash card (Type II) on an adapter. For example
http://www.amazon.com/Komputerbay-128GB-Professional-Compact-Extreme/dp/B008O7N0 W6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
(There is one customer review of it being used in an iPod.)
It's expensive, but less than any of your total upgrade costs. I have a much older 4th gen iPod with a Compact Flash card on an adapter, and here are the benefits I see. It's significantly lighter than the same iPod with a hard drive, especially if it has a double-platter "thick" hard drive. You can keep your iPod's sleek "thin" profile. It uses less battery power, because no moving parts. It is more shock resistant for the same reason, which I'm sure is an advantage for mountain biking. There is no "hard drive spin-up" delay; songs always start playing instantly (and no faint hum and vibration when the hard drive is spinning). I did not do any timing test, but I think it syncs faster.

6th generation nano screen black but able to touch screen from memory to get music to play..called customer support they said it's the backlight since touch screen can still be touched and music can be played..any thoughts?

second 6th generation nano..again with the same problem..screen is black will not turn on but am able to touch screen and get music/radio to play...able to touch around on screen from memory..nano is recognized in itunes and computer..but screen will not turn on..called customer support today..of course out of warranty but was told that it sounds like my backlight is burnt out and that's all i need fixed, told that it shouldn't be that expensive (live in myrtle beach SC) and that my screen is fine since i am able to touch around on it...any thoughts?
thanks to all for any advice or input..will try to take to local icitymac store in next couple of days
jenn

Replacing the backlight usually requires replacing the entire front LCD/digitizer. And yes, it sounds the backlight has burned out.
Keep in mind that if you go the Apple route, they won't actually repair the iPod, but instead will do an out of warranty exchange meaning your current Nano will be replaced with a refurbished model of the same capacity and generation.

Audio/Voice Recorder for iPod [video] classic 160 GB Silver 6th Generation?

Hi, I'm looking for a voice recorder for my iPod, but I'm not sure which ones are compatible with my version, and which one is best.
i.e. Belkin TuneTalk, Griffin iTalk, etc. (I don't know which one is compatible, and then which one is best.)
This is the iPod I have:
Apple iPod classic 160 GB Silver (6th Generation)
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPod-classic-Silver-Generation/dp/B000JO7RVC
I've been doing research on the matter, but due to conflicting reports, I am left in ultimate confusion.
So I thought it would be best to ask the experts.
Thanks!

tunetalk & classic: No way.
I am having endless trouble with Belikin Tunetalk stereo & IPOD classics.
I've asked Belkin & Apple & had nothing useful.
background: Been using Belkin tunetalk stereos (2) with 2 Ipod 5G (video) for more than a year. They work ok: [given the well know issues of harddrive noise picked up with internal microphones.]
Two modes available: "low" 22050 MONO & "high" 44100 Stereo
Had a ipod die on me, so upgraded to classics.
Recorded away, got nothing but 44100 MONO. Not supposed to be able to do this mode. & since I was recording TWO channels, I lost data. Belkin site says for classics only with the lastest software".
I've reflashed the ipods multiple times I one ipod records only mono (BLACK), the other (SILVER) records about 1 in 10 mono. Of course you can't tell till you're done whether you're going to get mono or stereo!
As iDude80n said about asking experts? Any one know if I go buy TWO MORE ipods, eg nanos, will these things actually work? Will post as separate question.

My 6th generation Ipod Classic will not eject, works fine otherwise and properly goes thru sync cycle. A message shows files are in use and device can't be ejected. If I close my internet browser it will eject properly every time.

I have a new HP Pavilion running Windows 7 with lots of memory and a terabyte of storage, using iTunes 11 with a 6th generation Ipod Classic. Have used my current iPod for years with no problem until today; when I try to eject the device iTunes stops responding, there is a delay of about 10-15 seconds until a message box pops up: "the ipod cannot be ejected as there are files in use." It also won't eject from the windows taskbar, same type of message appears. iTunes remains unresponsive until I click "ok" on the message box. I've reset the ipod twice and disabled the "enable disk use" button for the ipod -- with no change in symptom.
I am not certain as to the fix but am 100% sure that the problem does not occur if I close my open browser; it occurs only when I have an Internet browser open. I experimented with Google Chrome that I normally use, and also with Internet Explorer -- when either browser is being used the ipod cannot be ejected.
I've used iTunes 11 for about 3-4 weeks and this problem had not occurred until today.

I have had similar issues with mine, happens mainly if I transfer songs and then decide to disconnect my iPod to listen to them with my IEMs (I use Interenet Explorer in my case and it is not neccessarely up when this happens, so I seriously doubt it is an issue conencted to the web browser). I have no patience for this so my trick is I try to eject it from iTunes, if that does not work, then I bring Windows explorer up, right mouse click on the iPod mounted drive and select Eject. It gives me the same warning but there is a third button selection called Continue. When I choose that it just disconnets the drive anyway and the iPod is finally disconnected. It seems to work each and every time I do it so this solution is fine for me. Would be intersting to see what the real root cause of this is because I started getting this problem with the newer iTunes 11.
