Difference between 6th & 7th gens

I just purchased an 80 GB 6th gen iPod Classic off of eBay and am wanting to get a case for it, but running into some trouble finding ones that say they're compatible with the 6th gen...so, I guess my question is, are there any differences in dimensions, etc, between the 6th and 7th gen Classics? Would I be able to use a case for a 7th gen Classic on the 6th gen?
Thanks!!

iPod Nano 6th Gen has 8GB and 16GB versions ,but iPod Nano 7th Gen has just one 16GB version. And most difference between 6th and 7th Gen iPod Nano is their different body size and shape.

IPod Classic - Differences between 6th, 7th and 8th generation

I am considering buying an iPod Classic 160gb. Various retailers are offering this as 6th, 7th or 8th generation. Whilst I realise that 8th generation is the most recent, does anyone know what the differences are between 6th, 7th and 8th? (This does appear to make a difference in the retail price). I don't mind buying a 7th generation if it just means it was manufactured a bit earlier (and allows me to save money) but I may not want it if generation 8 dealt with known bugs, for example, in generation 7). Any help appreciated.

The 2009 model is slimmer. Click here for more information.

Whats the difference between the 4th gen iPod touch and the new one ?

whats the difference between the 4th gen iPod touch and the new one apart from it being white?

Yeah it sadly appears to be only color, I guess Apple and thier infinate wisdom decided iPod touches dont need to be as fast as the new iPhone. If it had a5 it could do Siri:(

Difference between Simple, EPC Gen 1 & EPC Gen 2 tags?

Hi All,
1. Can some one explain me the difference between Simple, EPC Gen 1 & EPC Gen 2 tags?
2. When are they used?
3. Which is the one, widely used?
Thanks,
Shridhar..

Hi Shridhar,
Actually earlier I only mentioned the main difference between the two that was the Q Algorithm and mentioned some links which would help you to get some more differences.
From your reply I thought should make more easier for you.I have segregated some differences for you from those Links .
Difference between GEN1 and GEN2 tags.
New features that were incorporated in the Gen 2 protocol.
1.The biggest difference between Gen 1 and Gen 2 is that there is now a single global protocol. The first-generation epc had two protocols, Class 0 and Class 1, and the same reader could not read both unless it was a multiprotocol reader. The International Organization for Standardization (iso) also approved two uhf air-interface protocols, 18000-6A and 18000-6B, as international standards, so there have been four uhf standards.

2. Another important aspect of the UHF Gen 2 protocol is it was designed to optimize performance in different regulatory environments around the world.
 Europes communications authoritiesrecently adopted reader regulations that are more relaxed, but the new rules are still quite stringent compared with those in the North America. Because the Gen 2 protocol uses the available radio spectrum more efficiently, it will provide better performance in Europe than any other uhf protocol. Gen2 creates a good foundation for higher-function products, such as Class 2 and Class 3 tags and readers.
3. Dense-reader mode
The Gen 2 standard allows readers to operate in three different modes: Single-reader mode, multi-reader mode and dense-reader mode. To function optimally, readers will need to operate in
dense-reader mode when more than 50 readers are present within a building, such as within a distribution center. Dense reader mode is designed to prevent readers from interfering with
one another, which could be a problem if many readers are used in a confined space, particularly in Europe and other regions where only a small band of the uhf spectrum has been allotted
for rfid systems.
4. Dual methods of backscatter encoding
The Gen 2 protocol also supports another method of encoding the backscatter signal called FMO. The purpose of allowing the reader to use either FMO or Miller subcarrier was to improve
performance not just when there are many readers in a facility but also when there is a lot of noise in the area.
FMO, a format used effectively in the current ISO standards, is fast but susceptible to interference. Miller subcarrier is slower but works better in noisy environments.
5. Secure read-write memory
First-generation EPC Class 0 tags are programmed at the factory, when the chips are made. First-generation Class 1 tags are user programmable, meaning that an end user company can write EPCs to the tag after taking delivery. In most applications today, Class 1 tags are programmed one by one as they come off a spool.
Gen 2 tags are field programmable, meaning that readers can write information to tags even if they are attached to cases on a pallet or a conveyer belt. Gen 2 tags will feature three required memory banksone bank for storing the epc, one for passwords, one for tag identification (the tag stores information about itself)and an optional bank for memory that end users can use for whatever purpose they wish (one of the few optional features tags can have). User memory could be to store codes to indicate where products are being shipped to, for instance.
The memory banks can be locked temporarily or permanently.So a product supplier might write an epc to a tag and lock it permanently. It might then write the identification number of a store that the product is being shipped to in the optional user memory. The supplier might lock that memory with a password to avoid having it overwritten, but a manager in the stores distribution center might have the option of unlocking the memory (if the manufacturer supplies the password), changing the store id to indicate the destination has changed, and then locking the memory again.
6. The Q algorithm
One issue with the Gen 1 protocols is that they require rfid readers to use the tags unique serial numbers to singulate tags (to identify them uniquely). If two tags have the same epc, they confuse the reader. Some retailers are considering using tags with the same epcthat is, information similar to what they have on bar codes todayas an interim measure as they move from bar codes to rfid and prepare their software systems to handle unique ids. Those retailers asked EPCglobal's Hardware Action Group to make it possible to singulate the tags even if two or
more tags have the exact same epc.
This Algorithm is mentioned in my first reply above.
7. Sessions
One weakness of the Gen1 protocols was the possibility that one reader would interfere with another reader's ongoing counting of a group of tags. So let's say a fixed reader is counting all the tagged items on a shelf. It reads a tag and commands it to go to sleep so it can read the next tag.When it is halfway through 100 items, someone comes along with a handheld reader, looking for a specific item on that shelf. The handheld commands all the tags to wake up and respond. Now the fixed reader has to start the counting all over again. To avoid this problem, the Gen 2 protocol introduces something called sessions. Each tag will be able to operate within four
separate sessions. A retailer or manufacturer could set up their system so that all fixed readers read tags in session 1, and all handhelds use session 2. So if the fixed reader puts the tags to
sleep in session 1, the handheld reader could communicate with the tags in session 2 and not interfere with the ongoing count by the fixed reader in session 1.
Enhancements made to the Gen 1 protocols.

1.Faster read rates:
The Gen 2 protocol is designed to enable readers to read data from and write data to rfid tags much faster than the Gen 1 protocols. Gen 2 supports a tag-to-reader data transfer rate of up
to 640 kilobits per second, versus up to 80 kilobits per second for Gen 1 Class 0 and 140 kilobits per second for Gen 1 Class 1.
2. Fewer ghost reads
One problem early adopters have encountered with the Gen 1 Class 0 protocol is ghost reads. Sometimes the reader thinks it has read a tag with a particular Id when no tag with that id is present.
3. Longer passwords.
Now to talk about your queries.
>>Q's:1. What if the Tag ID is alpha-numeric?
let me know from which link you read this so that I can comment on it.(If i missed it).
>>Gen 2:These type of Tags have the ability to generate random numbers. The reader asks the tag to generate random numbers.
Q's:1. What is the match/criteria upon which Tag/s respond to the reader with the EPC, after which the reader can continue the flow.
Now if you again go through the Q Algorithm mentioned in my above reply.This query is answered.
Well I again mention the part of the Algorithm
 " Gen 2 tags have the ability to generate random numbers. The reader will tell the tags the range in which it should generate a random number by issuing a query command with a Q value ranging from 0 to 15. If it often gets back no response to its queries, it will automatically decrease the Q value. If it gets more than one tag responding, it will increase the Q value, thereby increasing the range of numbers that can be generated by the tags. The reader might issue a query with a parameter of Q=4. The tags generate two random numbers, the first one ranging from zero and 65,535, and the second ranging from zero and 2 to the power of Q, minus 1. If Q is four, then 2 to the fourth power is 16, minus 1 equals 15. So all tags choose a second random number ranging from zero and 15. The reader asks any tag that chose zero for their second random number to respond. If one tag has zero, then it responds with the first random number, between zero and 65,535, and the reader acknowledges it. Since the tag has now been singulated,the reader could simply count the tag as present ("I know a tag with a random number of 45,101 is in the field"). It could write an epc to the tag, if it doesn't have one, or it could ask tag 45,101 for its epc if it does have one. It then asks the remaining tags to subtract one from their second random number and singulates the next tag that has a zero, and it keeps doing that until all the tags are singulated. If no tags choose zero for their first random number, then the reader asks all the tags to decrement their random number by one, and it keeps doing that until a tag with zero responds. If two tags respond, the reader can't read either tag, so it issues a negative acknowledge, which tells the tags to wait for another query until they respond again. "This protocol makes it extremely unlikely that a reader will singulate two tags when it meant to only talk to one" . "
The above mentioned is the match/criteria upon which Tag/s respond to the reader with the EPC, after which the reader can continue the flow.
I suppose this should clear all your doubts.Let me know if still there are any.
Thanks,
Pawan

Nike+ for iPod Nano 6th/7th gen?

On the Nike+ website it says that I need a nike+ iPod reciever for 6th gen (or earlier) Nanos but that I don't need one for a 7th gen Nano (http://nikeplus.nike.com/plus/home_no_devices).
How can I tell if what I have is a 6th or 7th gen Nano? I can't find any mention of 7th gen on the Apple website.
Thank you.

You don't need it for either year of the 6th Generation.

Difference between nano 5th gen & 4th gen

Isthere any difference between 4th gen nano & 5th gen nano that would matter when buying a mini hifi unit built for ipods that list th gen nano as compatible, but does not mention 5th gen nano as compatible. Unit manual & box list 11 ipods as compatible. RCA MHC-EC691is the unit. Thanks.

That's normal if you have the Enable disk Use option selected or your iPod set up for manual management.

Difference between 2nd & 3rd gen 32GB touch?

I looked through the recent posts & couldn't find an answer, so hopefully you folks can help me.
I'm thinking of buying a 32GB touch. The 2nd gen is a bit cheaper than the 3rd gen. What are the differences between the two? Is the 3rd gen worth spending the extra money? Thanks.

Hi JohnnyV,
This was true, but not anymore, Apple do officially recognise the late 2009 version as 3rd gen.

"The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318."

Trouble with Differences between iPod 5th Gen and "Classic"

I have the 30 GB 5th Gen iPod. The iTunes software was easy to use in creating playlists and viewing my music on my device. I recently bought an 80 GB Classic and cannot create a playlist on my device. It always creates it in my library. I also cannot get the browser view to show up when on my 80 GB device. Everything was easy with the 5th Gen but I am finding the differences in navigating the software very tough. Please help.
P.S. The new iPod always wants to sync when I connect even though I am pretty sure I told the program not to auto sync. I cannot get past the syncing screen without clicking on the sync button.

It sounds like you need to adjust your settings.
1. Open iTunes on your computer.
2. Connect your iPod to the computer.
3. As soon as the iPod shows on the sidebar, look at the summary tab options to make sure that the Manually manage music and videos is checked if you want to manually load the iPod. A window should open to ask if you are sure you want to change the setting to manual. Answer Yes. If you want to auto sync, leave this item unchecked.
If you have unchecked items in the main library (duplicate songs, etc) and do not want them to load into the iPod, make sure the item Sync only checked songs and videos is marked. If you change this setting, look for the Sync button at the lower right corner to change to two buttons Cancel and Apply. Click on Apply. It is always important to click apply after you finish making changes to the iPod settings.
4. If you manually Sync, with your mouse you can drag and drop the playlists you want to load in the iPod from the sidebar. Highlight the playlist you want. Hold the left mouse button down as it is highlighted and move the mouse to cover the iPod device and release the mouse button. The playlist and songs should begin loading.
5. Alternately, when looking at the device, switch to the music tab. Change the setting to Sync Music - Selected Playlists. Then check off the playlists you want to load. If you do this, and have the default AutoSync set on the Summary Tab, the playlists will automatically be updated when the iPod is connected. Depending on your personal preferences or space needs, uncheck Include Music Videos or Display Album Artwork on iPod.
6. Make sure that you click APPLY to apply the settings to the iPod after making changes to the various menus. If you do not apply the settings, the iPod will retain the default settings.
7. Note that you will have to re-enter all your settings and apply if you have Restored the iPod (delete all content and reinstall operating software). In a Restore, the iPod settings are also reset to the Apple factory defaults.
Hope this helps!

What is the difference between the 1st GEN and 2nd GEN IPOD TOUCH

Does anyone know the changes?
Does the 1st Gen have a a speaker?
Message was edited by: pa-bucktail

In addition...
The 2nd gen will accept headphones with microphone.
The 2nd gen has a volume control up/down button on the case.
The 2nd gen has bluetooth capabilities which in theory will be enabled with the iPhone 3.0 software update.
The 2nd gen can be obtained in a 32GB model as well as the 8GB and 16GB models.

What are the differences between iPod 2nd and 3rd Generation models?

Hi:
I have a couple questions about the differences between some of the iPod Touch models:
1) What is the difference between the *2nd Gen 8GB iPod touch* and the *3rd Gen 8GB iPod touch?*
2) What are the differences among the *3rd Gen iPod Touch 8GB* model and the *32 GB and 64 GB models* (other than the memory differences)?
Thanks!

none, really.
2) What are the differences among the *3rd Gen iPod Touch 8GB* model and the *32 GB and 64 GB models* (other than the memory differences)?
the 32 & 64 GB models have advanced hardware components. 32GB and 64GB Touches gain 3GS specs - roughly 2x faster, with more advanced 3D graphics for games that capitalize on OpenGL 2.0 - and features like Voice Control.

Difference between ws-3560-48ts-s v02 and v03

anyone know difference between v02 and v03 of ws-3560-48ts-s switches?
is it just small corrections or functionality?
thanks,

The only main difference between the 1st gen and the V02 is the amount of power the appliance requires. Otherwise, like what Paolo says, they are very much the same.
