IPod 5th Gen (Late 2006) 30Gb "USER GUIDE"?

On the Apple website the User Guides they have listed are: IPod w/Color Display-6/10/2005; IPod Click Wheel-9/2004; and IPod Original-10/21/2002.
The most recent one being the one for color, shows an image of a black IPod with a RED wheel, which mine is not. I do not even know if mine has a color display. I do not know how to work it at all! Which is why I need the correct "User Guide".
Which one should I choose? Thank you!

Is it possible to install a 160 GB Toshiba slim-fit HDD from an iPod Classic 2009 model into a iPod 5th Gen Late-2006 model that originally had a 30 GB Toshiba drive?

Is it possible to install a 160 GB Toshiba slim-fit HDD from an iPod Classic 2009 model into a iPod 5th Gen Late-2006 model that originally had a 30 GB Toshiba drive?
I have had my 30 GB iPod video for about 7 years, it was a gift and has served me well. Unfortunately it was in my pocket when I brushed up against a very powerful magnet which latched onto the unit and scrambled the hardware. Sad iPod icon.
I was told I probably need to replace the HD in order to get it back to working order. What I am wondering is, would I be able to replace it with a larger capacity drive so long as I got a unit that was slim enough to fit into the casing?

Have you tried resetting the PRAM? http://gigaom.com/2011/07/26/when-to-reset-your-macs-pram-and-smc/
Which Windows version are you trying to install? If I remember right, you can't use windows 8 on these older machines.
Other than that it's hard to say what could have gone wrong. I can only suggest going through the steps again carefully and making sure everything worked the way it should.
Have a look at this article too for a slighly more verbose instruction on making a drive bootable: http://www.instructables.com/id/Install-Windows-7-without-USB-or-DVD-without-upg ra/

IPod 5th Gen (Late 2006) won't turn on

My iPod 5th Gen (Late 2006) will not turn on. When I plug it into the wall charger it WILL turn on however nothing appears on the screen. The screen will constantly stay lit and will eventually turn a light shade of pink. It will NOT turn on and register with iTunes when I plug into a computer though. Could this be a battery issue? or something else?

Fis try drying it;

When dry try:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What do you mean by service warranty? the Apple warraty does not cover liquid damage.

Swapping cases on an iPod 5th Gen late 2006

I just bought a used 5th Gen late 2006 iPod. I have a 5th Gen U2 Special Ed. iPod I found in the trash. It's missing the display and battery. Can I swap the cases from one to the other?

Hello sisjoel,
Are both iPods the 30 GB models? If they are, then yes, you can swap out the cases. However this task can be a bit more difficult than it looks and you risk bricking the used iPod you recently purchased.
I think the best guides on how to swap out the front and back covers can be found on ifixit.com. Here are the two guides that should help you accomplish this task.

IPOD 5th Gen Late 2006 - Unable to load Video

1. I have music videos from my previous Mini but new 30GB video says itunes does not recognize, tried converting, get video but no audio. 2. I cannot see song list of what is on IPOD when plugged into computer only get summary screen. Help

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
1) This is because the videos are muxed. See this for more info...
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files (Muxed Files)
You would need to use a converter that supports muxed videos, such as...
MPEG Streamclip
2) Click the little triangle/arrow next to the iPod in iTunes. A list of categories will appear. Click Music, for example, to see the list of songs on the iPod.

Synching question (5th Gen late 2006)

Friend gave me an iPod 5th Gen late 2006 (so called 5.5) - 30GB.
Seems to work OK except when I synch.
Sych operation only copies 140 songs of a couple thousand (17GB).
Any ideas why?
Mac 10.8.4
iTunes 11.0.4
iPod 1.3
All music is "watched" - stored in iCloud.
Thanks for ideas.

IPOD 5TH GENERATION (LATE 2006) Boot Loop

I have this iPod and here is what it's doing. Please note: The HDD has been replaced with an OEM and it does spin up, I have done a lean test on it, and the battery was completely dead, but does hold a charge. A new one is on the way. Here are the steps I take:
1. I press the center button on the click wheel
2. The Apple logo appears
3. I release the center button
4. After 5 seconds, I get a iPod sad face and the triangle with an exclamation point inside of it.
5. It then turns off.
Here is what I have done to troubleshoot:
1. I have done multiple resets by turning on the hold selector switch and turning it off, then holding down the Center and Menu buttons. Same Result.
2. I leave the cable unconnected and I have put the iPod in disk mode by, with the iPod off, pressing and holding down the Play/Pause and Center buttons, then I wait for the apple logo to appear, and then I release the buttons after about 15 seconds. Once in disk mode when it says OK to disconnect, I will then reconnect to a PC or Mac. The screen on the iPod will start to say do not disconnect with a blinking no smoking sign in the middle. On the PC, the iPod driver installation started once, failed when the iPod went back to the Apple logo screen from disk mode, thus severing its connection with the PC, then proceeds to boot loop. It will only boot loop if plugging into a charger or computer. When its plugged into a Mac, it does the same thing on the iPod, but nothing pops on the Mac at all. When its still plugged in and getting charge after the sad iPod face goes away, it says Please Wait Very Low Battery, even though the battery has a full charge.
3. I have done the same procedure with the cable connected to the PC or Mac, which replaces the first step in number 2. So, it would say I have a connected cable and I have put the iPod in disk mode by. So on and so on.
4. I have disconnected everything in the iPod and reconnected as well.
If any one can help, please.
Late,
MT

IPod Gen 5 (late 2006), 30GB, Black, will not sync with prior iTunes or current

     I have an iPod, Gen 5 (late 2006), 30GB, Black, I had kept unopened for a while (purchased in 2007 and opened it in 2008-09). I retrieved the iPod Gen 5, opened, and did sync it with my PC-Windows 7, one (1) time. I uploaded my music and it worked fine.
     I obtained new music and after uploading the added music, I attached my iPod Gen 5 to the PC-Win 7, at which time a window popped open stating there was something wrong with the "data storage," requesting Win 7 to perform a system check on the "data system" or "continue without checking." I chose the latter. This caused the iTunes & PC to freeze. Nothing worked, even the Task Manager would not shut it down. The only way to unfreeze everything was to restart the computer. After searching iTunes Support, doing everything suggested, including totally uninstalling iTunes (no trace to be found) and then re-installed iTunes. Re-synced the music library and then attempted to re-sync my iPod Gen 5. Everything started all over again.
    I took my iPod Gen 5 to the Apple Store - Genius Bar where an employee was able to sync the iPod Gen 5 with the Mac computer at the store. The iPod Gen 5 worked perfectly. I respectfully requested the employee to reformat/restore the iPod Gen 5 with their Mac computer, again, my iPod Gen 5 still worked.
     I went home in attempt to sync my iPod Gen 5 with my Windows PC (Win 7), and again, everything froze--iTunes and the PC. I waited several weeks and searched further on Apple.com/support to seek any other answers. However, none were found. Uninstalled and re-installed iTunes 2-3 times and still kept freezing iTunes and my PC. Went back to Apple Store-Genius Bar and my iPod synced just fine with the Mac computer. Reqested to restore on site and took it home, just to have all the problems to start all over again with the PC and iTunes problems.
     About two weeks ago (11/12/2011), I totally wiped clean and reformatted my full PC, re-installing Windows 7 and only my major programs. After updating my iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch Gen 4, I took a chance to re-sync my iPod Gen 5, AND IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN!!!
    Is there anyone who can inform me as to why this is happening, when I was able to sync the iPod Gen 5 the very FIRST time, but after that the problems started? I know if I take the iPod back to the Apple Store, it will work for them.
    It should be noted I did attempt the same procedures with my laptop computer with Window XP Home Edition, SP3. Still did the same thing.
     Any help please? Thank you in advance. Other than the age of the iPod, it is "practically brand new" or has been used for about 2-3 weeks.

Everything was downloaded directly from Apple's website. I found some possible answers through "Mitch751" but cannot print out yet until I restart my computer. iPod is still attached and wanted to search while it was charging. As I mentioned, I have done everything searched and researched and even stumped the Apple Genius bar employee.
Thank you Desmond

HT1386 I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video). My computer crashed and itunes was no loner accessible on it. On my new computer, how do I transfer the music from my iPod to the library in iTunes that is on my new computer?

I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video) that I had connected to my computer with iTunes. That computer crashed and the only place my music is stored is on my iPod. How do I move that music to the iTunes program (version 8) on my new computer. When I connect my iPod to my new computer the music shows up in my iPod's music directory but I can't move it to the library.

- For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

5th generation (late 2006) ipod problems

I have a 5th generation (late 2006) ipod, about a month ago it went into recovery mode. No matter what computer I put it in, usb, cords, everything... it WILL NOT restore. I'm assuming my music is already gone since I have tried so many times. Now what? Also, I have put it into disk mode and regular mode. Nothing works.

Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but help in troubleshooting.

IPod 5th Gen Functionality

I'm sure this has been asked before and if it has if someone could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.
Question: Is there a software upgrade (for the iPod 5th Gen) out there that will essentially update the device to work or operate like a newer iPod ? For instance, the funtion of the new iPod Nano 3rd Gen which has "Cover Flow" ... is there a way to get the "older" 5th Gen iPod to have this function ?

*is there a way to contact Apple and submit something like an Enhancement Request ?*
You can send feedback/feature requests directly to Apple at this link: Apple Product Feedback
However I think it is safe to say that going on past model changes you'll not see anything from Apple on this. As an example, when the Late 2006 version of the 5th Generation iPod was introduced it had a new search feature, this was not added retrospectively to the earlier model. The new changes are much more extensive than that one was so I wouldn't expect to see Cover Flow or any aspects of the new interface added through an Apple firmware update to earlier models.

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!
-Kingofbytes

Thanks 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.
