How do i know what generation my ipod is

how do i know what generation my ipod is - I want to download audio books from my library and they list ipod classic.  Will my ipod work?

I think a 2004 iPod is probably 4th gen, which is also called "iPod (Click Wheel)" (b/w screen) or "iPod photo" (color screen).  This document shows all the models

"iPod classic" is the name of the current 160GB iPod that uses a hard drive for storage.  However, it can also refer to ANY "classic design" iPod that uses a hard drive for storage, going back to the 1st gen iPod.
If they are standard MP3 or AAC audio files (with no copy protection), and they play in iTunes, you should be able to sync them to an iPod and play them.

  • How do you know what generation your iPod touch is?

    I have just bought an iPod Touch - my first iPod of any type.  How do you know what generation it is? There is nothing on the packaging and the only clue in the 'About' screen appeared to be the version 4.3.3.  I am trying to purchase a universal dock adapter and need to know the generation in order to get the right one.

  • How can i tell what generation of ipod shuffle I have?

    We have various ipods and I need to know what generation of ipod shuffle we have.  How can if tell?

    This document about resetting the iPod shuffle shows a picture of the four types.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1655
    1st gen - It is white plastic and looks like a USB "thumb drive."  It as a full USB connector on it, so you don't need a cable to connect it to the computer.
    2nd gen - It is a clip-on design.  It has separate switches for setting playback order (shuffle or in order) and for turning ON/OFF.
    3rd gen - It is a narrow clip-on design, with no playback control buttons on the shuffle itself.  You use the "remote control" buttons on the ear buds cord.  It has the new VoiceOver feature.
    4th gen - Apple went back to the 2nd gen style, except smaller.  It has only one switch that is both for setting playback order (shuffle or in order) and turning ON/OFF, plus a small VoiceOver button (for using the VoiceOver feature introduced in 3rd gen)

  • HT1498 How do I know what generation my apple tv is ?

    I just purchased my Apple TV yesterday for $109.00 it is absolutely amazing the technology and all the things you can do with it. I am still playing around with it trying to figure it out but my question is how do I know what generation I have !!?

    Look at the tiny type toward the bottom of the underside of your device (use strong light and a magnifying glass). The second line starts with "Complies with..." and it ends with an "A" followed by a 4-digit code. If that code is "1378" you have a 2nd gen ATV, if it is "1427" you have a 3rd gen one.
