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.

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.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for the 16 GB one and $149 for the others. They do not fix yours.

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) 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!

Use this article help you identify what model and generation your iPod is.

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

My ipod 5th gen. 30 gig wont play video on to tv!! need help, please!

Hi, I have searched and have found no answer. My ipod wont play on the tv. I don't have a offical Apple cable that plugs into the headphone jack to the tv. But I have a cable that I have found laying around my house that is exactly the same. It has a headphone connecter on one saide, and three other plugs on the other (yellow, white, red).
I know if I'm not using a Apple cable that I have to rerange the cables, red to yellow, white to red, yellow to white. I've tried other combinations with NO success.
I have the ipod set to TV on..
And the only thing that happens is that white and grey lines start dancing around on the tv..
and SOMETHIMES theres is some auido, but with only one speaker..
I have tired two tv's. A hdtv and a flat screen tv.

Stephanie,
The reason a standard A/V cable won't work with the iPod if you match the colors is because the A/V cable standard was developed by Video Camera manufactures and they arbitrarily picked the connections on the 3-contact 1/8" plug to go to their colors.
When Apple decided to put a three contact 1/8" jack on the iPod and use one contact for Video output, they couldn't match the same colors because the configuration picked by the video folks didn't match the two audio channels to the same ones used by standard headphones. So Apple had to make their own A/V cables to get the colors to match up correctly.
If they hadn't made their own A/V cables (or made you use a standard cable with the colors mixed up) and made the iPod match the A/V standard then it would have required custom wired headphones for the iPod. Clearly you can see where the outrage would be if Apple seemingly MADE people buy their custom headphones and didn't let you use any headphones you wanted, right?

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 is stuck on the apple logo with the loading bar not moving

So I recently decided to restore my iPod 5th gen to factory settings, because I plan on selling it to a friend. When I chose the option to erase all data and reset settings, the iPod turned off, and then came to the black background with the apple logo in the middle. After watching it turn on and off, and not do anything for at least an hour, I searched for answers on the forum. I found that I should reset my iPod by holding the center button and the top right button at the same time for at least ten seconds, or until the device shuts off and then the apple logo is visible again. After I did this, once again, the black background with the apple logo popped up, this time with a loading bar beneath it. After an hour or two of checking on the progress bar, I noticed that it had not made any progress whatsoever. It had not moved an inch since I first started it. What do I do?

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

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.
