IPod 5th Gen Only play SMALL FILES? : (

I Have heard from some people and seen on the forum that the new 5th gen.'s only play very small sized files. Does this mean i cant watch movies that are say...an hour long?
Is this rumor fact or fiction? PLEASE RESPOND

Does your audio cut out at all on your Matrix Reloaded? I've tried to covert it a few times and every time this movie has had issues. About every two minutes the audio cuts out. If I restart the video it starts up again but will cut out again a few minutes later. The video is perfect and plays flawlessly on quicktime but my iPod has issues with it. When I asked Apple support they said it could be a scratched hardrive but I can put several copies on my iPod and they all cut out at the exact same spot. Any suggestions?

  • HELP... iPod 5th gen wont play on docking station

    We have 2 iPod 4th gen nano's and both play perfectly well on the docking stations, one being great quality one. The 5th gen nano plays but only with internal speakers even tho connected to docking station....Help.

    Did you ever get it to work or does anyone know a reasonably priced docking station that is compatible? I got an Ipod Nano 5G for Christmas. Followed all the instructions and trouble shooting with the same problem. Plays great on the ear buds, but only get scratchy internal speaker when placed on a docking station. I ended up exchanging the ipod. The new one does the same thing. I bought an iHome H10 that is supposed to be compatible, so I assumed it was the Ipod. Im really disappointed in this. The benefit of Apple is the easy transition and compatibility. You shouldn't have to test a hundred docking stations to get one to play an ipod.

  • Ipod 4th or 5th gen only plays music out loud even with headphones in

    So recently my Ipod decided that it only wanted to play music as if there weren't any headphones in it even though i had headphones plugged in. Any ideas or suggestions would be awesome.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • Ipod 5th gen, video 30bg, will sync/restore, won't play

    I am running Windows 7, with all updates (as of 3/14/2014) have itunes 11.1.5.5 showing no available updates. When I plug into the USB port, the ipod gets recognized, Itunes starts. I can see the files on the ipod. I have reset the ipod and restored. Same problem. When I drill down to the actual file I want to listen to, it doesn't play. On the screen the icon changes from pause to the arrow for play, the index line never advances. You can hit the select button, use the scroll wheel to advance through the file, and hit play again, but no noise. There isn't noise if in the dock (which other ipods and iphones work with in the house) there is no noise if the headphones are plugged in. i was thinking harddrive, so I replaced it. couldn't get the new one to function. When the new harddrive was in the unhappy face would come up. I could force into disk mode, in hopes of restoring it, but in disk mode, neither windows and hence itunes would recognize it as an ipod. I put the old hard drive back in thinking maybe I damaged the cable, but it came right up, but with the same problem, it won't play the sounds... I replaced the Zif cable just in case, still the same...
    i've sure seen lots of Ipod 5th gen video for sale on Ebay, compared to the 4th that I had, which I broke the scroll wheel cable on, but never had such problems with it. Any thoughts out there from someone who might know what it's doing? It seems weird that it loads the music files, and deletes the music files but won't play them. The only other thing I can think of perhaps is the battery too low to spin the hard drive up to play? It does seem to be a very small (physically) battery compared to the 4th gen... but it is thicker...
    When I got it it was doing the low power thing, so I did all the steps to re-charge, and restore, but it won't play the files... Thanks for any thoughts!

    It sound like you did some good troubleshooting.  Thanks for providing the details.  I don't think a problem like this is related to the battery. 
    With a 5th gen iPod (early version) that has a 30GB hard drive, it may have problems using a larger capacity hard drive.  That may explain the different problem you had when you replaced the hard drive, if you changed the capacity.
    Try the following test.  Do another Restore from the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  At the end of the Restore process, choose NOT to sync anything automatically. 
    Go to the iTunes Store and download a free song.  You can find the current free songs by clicking Free on iTunes under QUICK LINKS, on the iTunes Store Home screen.
    Manually load that ONE song on the iPod.  Disconnect iPod and try to play that one song.  Does this same problem occur?

  • Can new iPod Classic play movies types iPod 5th Gen cannot?

    I have an iPod 5th generation and I have not really tried to put movies on it. My wife just got a new iPod classics and we've been uploading (MP4 H.264 codec) movies on her iPod Classic. When I try to upload it on my iPod 5th Gen I get an error these files cannot be uploaded since the iPod cannot play these file types. I had the same with a *.mov file.
    Can the new iPod Classic play more than the iPod 5th Gen? Or is there a way to fix this?

    Try right clicking the movie in iTunes and picking the "Convert for iPod" option. Then try syncing the converted copy ("converting" makes a new copy, old version is left alone) to your 5th gen.

  • I tried updating my iPod 5th gen to iOS 8 but it only shows me a picture of the iTunes logo and a charger at the bottom, I'm not sure what this means or what I need to do. Can someone please help me?

    I tried updating my iPod 5th gen to iOS 8 but it only shows me a picture of the iTunes logo and a charger at the bottom, I'm not sure what this means or what I need to do. Can someone please help me?

    After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)? When I plugged in my new ipod 5th gen, it only synced purchases.

    How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)?  I just bought an ipod 5th gen and when I plugged it in, it only synced purchases.

    You restore the media to your new computer using the backup you made of your old computer before it died. You did backup your computer, right?

  • 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.

  • IPod 5th gen headphone jack not working

    I Have the iPod 5th gen and only today the headphone jack has stopped working. When I plug the headphones in it is as if the iPod just doesn't see them and carries on playing music from the iPods speakers and not the headphones. I have no clue what it is doing or any idea on how to fix it.

    Hey Katie, as Philly Phan has stated there is a tiny switch inside the headphone port. If it gets stuck open your iPod will think the headphones are plugged in. The plugging / unplugging generally will free the switch. Also, try looking inside the port, your looking for foreign debris, like lint, if you see something try blowing it out or carefully remove it with a wooden round toothpick. Good luck, Cheers.

  • 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.

    - iTunes purchases by maybe
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    BTW, this is the iPod touch forum.

  • 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?

    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:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer

  • 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.

  • IPod 5th Gen constantly resets and is not detected

    My iPod 5th Gen erased all my music and constantly resets when plugged in.  I've searched far and wide through support to no avail so I look to the community to aid my quest to load music to my iPod again.  Thanks in advance for the help!
    Situation:
    - music and all data erased suddenly and is currently in factory settings
    - when iPod is plugged in to computer, the iPod screen shows (in order):
         ° "connected, eject before disconnecting" (~5 seconds)
         ° off screen, completely blank (~1 second)
         ° apple logo appears as if restored (~5 seconds)
         ° repeat perpetually
    Attempted Remedies and Scenarios:
    - restore iPod via select / menu buttons
    - try running Disc Mode via select / play buttons
    - restore iPod via iTunes (cannot attempt because it is not detected under devices)
    - reformat and erase all data in iPod via iTunes (cannot attempt because it is not detected under devices)
    - reformat iPod via Disk Utility (iPod is not detected on Mac so cannot select)
    - attempted all of the above with the following variables:
         ° with pc running Windows 7, iTunes current
         ° with Mac mini running Mavericks, iTunes current
         ° with Macbook Air running Mavericks, iTunes current
         ° tried all USB ports on all above computers
         ° tried 2 separate 30-pin USB cables (both USB cables work with my iPhone 4s)
         ° iPod is fully charged
         ° restart all computers

    Hi everyone..  just found the solution... conveniently after I start a thread.  Turns out that my iPod nano had converted all 7.3GB of my 8GB into "Other" space and reset all my settings.
    Solution is as follows:
    - run disc mode while plugged-in (running Macbook Air)
    - restore dialog box appears via iTunes while in disc mode
    - restore iPod nano
    - upload music
    - enjoy
