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.

Why do apple refer to the products by generation and then not actually include that information on the product?
beats me.
you can inform Apple of your displeasure by leaving a comment via iPod Touch Feedback.

How do you know what generation your Apple TV is?

How can you tell what generation your Apple TV is and what the version IOS it is running? Thanks for any help!

In the link provided, there is a section which tells which model you have; e.g.
Apple TV (3rd generation)
Year introduced: Early 2012
Color: Black
Model number on bottom:
A1427 for Apple TV (3rd generation)
A1469 for Apple TV (3rd generation) Rev A
The A1427 or A1469 is printed on the bottom of the apple tv with very fine print, i had to use a flashlight to see my model number.

More accurately you can look on the back of your iPod Touch for one of these numbers.
Apple put one of these part numbers on the back of every iPod Touch.
iPod Touch 1st generation - A1213
iPod Touch 2nd generation - A1288
iPod Touch 3rd generation - A1318
iPod Touch 4th generation - A1367
Which generation do you have?

How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

Hi,
Here is help for the operating system:
If you are locked to iOS 3 then you have an iPod Touch 1st Gen.
If you are locked to iOS 4 then you have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
If you are locked to iOS 5 then you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
If you are locked to iOS 6 then you have an iPod Touch 4th Gen.
If you can get iOS 7 and have an iPhone 5 sized screen [bigger] you have the current iPod Touch 5th Gen.
I assume since it says you have iOS 5.1.1 you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
Also, you may want to sync it so iTunes can tell you or you can look at the model number on the back.
Hope this helped.

How you tell what generation your iPod is

how may I determine what generation an iPod touch is? says just say model A1509 on back

my question is I have a 5G iPod and when making a playlist, how can I repeat the song a few times in a row in making the playlist. the + can only be pressed once [and then not red or clickable].
I went into edit playlist and pressed red repeat option on bottom left and options came up [cancel, repeat playlist, repeat song, repeat off] and I pressed repeat song option and it clicks and now has pink box. that looked promising but it still doesn't end up on the playlist.
I clicked on the repeat off option at top of list of options- it clicks, but stays the same- saying repeat off, and does not appear to do anything in terms of adding to a playlist on edit mode.
I went into setting to try to see if it was locked somehow but could not find it.
after trying to edit - add songs in [duplicate as above] I press the done bottom. but then see it has not added the songs I clicked pink box/repeat to original playlist.
This is my first playlist since an old nano!

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
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
"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.

Hello,
You can visit this page to find out which model iPod you have. Compare the specs of your iPod to the ones on that page and you'll be right (specs such as HD size, Touch/Click wheel and so forth).
