IPod 5th Gen as storage for Canon Rebel XT CompactFlash memory?
I am taking my new camera on an extended vacation -and would prefer to use an Apple iPod 60Gb as a storage device to transfer photos from my CompactFlash card, to transfer to my desktop running Windows XP Pro when I get back home.
Has anyone done this?...what do I need to use to connect the camera to the iPod?...and to my desktop when I get back?
I won't have access to a computer while away, so I will hopefully be able to go from the camera (or a card reader) directly into the iPod,...and I'm leaving Feb 1, 2006.
REALLY appreciate any help you could offer!
As long as your iPod is a photo or video iPod (the iPod must be color and have s/w v 1.1 or later), you can use the Apple iPod Camera connector...$29 at the Apple store. This plugs directly into the bottom of the iPod and you then connect the camera to the adaptor using a standard USB cable.
Belkin or Griffin also make a media reader, but I don't think they are available through Apple directly anymore.
Read the reviews online at the Apple store, a bit mixed, the main complaint being that it takes about 45 minutes and most of the battery charge to transfer 1gb from the camera to the card.
To my knowledge the Apple product is only compatible with certain cameras and not card readers.

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?
Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:

My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??
Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $149. They do not fix yours.

My iPod 5th gen. doesn't have a back camera. Can I trade it in for one that does have a back camera? If I can, can I keep all my pictures and have them switched over to the other one?
If you purchased it from Apple within the last 14 days then you can return it for a full refund. otherwise no. If you purchased it elsewhere you have to check with them.

I've had my iPod 5th gen for a few months now and out of nowhere the microphone has stopped working.
I've had my iPod 5th gen for a few months now and out of nowhere the microphone has stopped working. It won't pick up anything, I can't use it for recording, face time, siri or anything else. Every time I try and record and play it back its just all fuzzy, is there anyway of fixing it without having to send it off for repair?
- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the tope edge near the center.
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You can also send it to Apple. -

Sounds like you need a new battery. Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

how do i unlock a ipod 5th gen that has activation on it and i got it with a broken screen and repaired in now it asks for a icloud sign in
There's no way around activation lock. If you purchased this from someone else you'll have to contact them and have them remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515. Otherwise you won't be able to use it.

Can I exchange my iPod 5th gen for a new one
Can I exchange my iPod 5th gen for a new one
If you are in the return periiod for where ever you purchased the iPod and there is nothing physically wrong, they may allow you to return it, then you can purchase a new one.
Here's the return policy for Apple in case you purchase it directly from Apple: http://store.apple.com/us/help/returns_refund
If the iPod has an issue, the seller may not allow you to return it and you may need to obtain service from Apple in order to get a working iPod: http://selfsolve.apple.com
I hope this helps. -
I bought a ipod 5th gen 32gig off a road side peddler for $175. It was working when I bought it.

I do not have his info and I do not know how to get in touch with him I have had third gen ipods and never had any problums like this before Help!!!
Either get the Apple ID and password from him to activate the iPod
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
or have him remote remove the device from his account
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
or return it for a refund.

I have an old ipod (5th gen) and I downloaded itunes to my toshiba computer. It says my ipod was formatted by mcintosh and must be restored before i can use on windows. is there a way to transfer my music? ty
Not without installing additional software on your computer. The problem is that your Windows PC cannot read the Mac's disk format. If the iPod was previously used on a Mac, its storage uses the Mac's disk format. The Restore process reformats the iPod's disk for use with Windows, but this erases its current content.
There are third-party products that allow Windows to read the Mac's disk format. For example
http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive
However, even if your computer is able to read the Mac's disk format, iTunes cannot be used to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). But there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
So, you may be able to do it by first making the iPod's disk readable on a Windows PC, and then using a method (that is not iTunes) to transfer its song files to your computer's drive. After the song files are on your computer, you can add them to the iTunes library. -
Kenwood X991 & iP200 cable with iPod 5th Gen 80GB does NOT work correctly
I have a conundrum. My wife has the 4th Gen v1.2.1 iPod 30GB which works fine on my Kenwood X991 Head Unit. I recently purchased the "new" 80GB iPod 5th Gen with the latest version "1.0.2" which does NOT work properly. The iTunes software tells me that this 1.0.2 is the latest software.
When I attach my iPod to my stereo, it states "Reading" for eternity. It DOES play music but only plays Alphabetical Order ONLY. There is no ability to stop, change, fast-forward, reverse, etc....the only thing you can do is click "Source" to change to CD Player or Tuner, etc...
Does anybody out there know what is going on? I have a request into Kenwood as well. Thanks in advance for all your help!
-KingofbytesThanks for the help. It's an iPod Classic then 80GB. The unit plays when plugged in but does not allow searching, or switching songs nor displays as it is supposed to. My wife's 30GB works with no problems. Of note:
Her 30GB = v1.2.1
My 80GB = 1.0.2
Mine is newer by about 6 months. Both are the latest software according to the screen.
Kenwood has said to "reset the head unit" and "make sure I've got it plugged in properly". I need to try the reset part next but the last statement is funny to me. I can install a head unit, amplifier, re-run all speaker wire, install a Dual 10" subwoofer box, solder and wire tie all connections from a factory unit to a 3rd party Cable manager kit, but I need to "make sure" I know how to plug in an iPod cable.....laughable.
