IPod Fifth Gen Widescreen Problem

I bought several movies from itunes including Resident Evil Extinction and Degeneration, The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and Pirates of the Caribean Curse of the Black Pearl. They all play back on my Fifth Gen ipod video in widescreen. I would prefer to use it fullscreen, so any answers would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem. Have tried _all_ of the suggestions including 4 of the "R"s - the Restore option is not possible, two different USB cables, 3 different computers (2 with latest iTunes update, 1 with previous). Still the same result - nothing! The ipod works fine apart from the connection issue. When attached to the computer "Do no disconnect" is displayed, but the ipod does not appear anywhere on the computer and iTunes does not start - even when I double click the icon.

Ipod fourth gen wifi problems

My Ipod 4th gen wifi does show any wifi's that are avaible, even when i am at home. i have reset the network settings but it still wont work, how do i fix it

Is it this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Games won't copy ipod fifth gen, need help!

I have an ipod fith gen 05 I recently downloaded sonic and naval battle and I can't seem to figure out how to get them on my ipod! I looked around the forum and some people have the same problem, but no one really figured out what to do! Please help!

1. Make sure iTunes is set to show your games. (Click "Edit>Preferences..." and check the "Applications" box.) Then, make sure that you actually downloaded them.
2. Plug in your iPod and click on it in the left pane.
3. Make sure your iPod is updated to the latest firmware. (There's a button to do this in iTunes.)
4. Click the "Games" tab on the right, and check the "All games" box.
5. Sync your iPod.
6. If it tells you to authorize, go to the menu bar and click "Store>Authorize Computer..." and type in your iTunes login and password.

IPod 4th gen charging problem?

Hey! So tonight I encountered a problem with my iPod 4th gen while charging. I had been using it messaging a friend and went to view it, then my ipod just turned off and died. It has fallen a few times and the home button broke off and I've been using the assitive touch thingy so people try not to tell me the hard restart thing.
It died and I plugged it into my iHome and it didnt turn on so I just put it on the cord, I had to go to the hospital and four hours later I come home and its still charging?! Oh one thing when it died since my home button broke away it revealed the metal underneath of it, well it was really hot so was the back of my ipod not the whole back just by the part you plug it in, I just thought it go to hot and died or something....
I have no idea what is wrong with it and since I don't know the serial number so I cannot go get online help D; any help would be much appreciated.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem

IPod Fifth Gen. disk use

Ok, I have a iPod fifth generation. Which is 30GB. It's not the new 30GB though. I updated my iTunes and iPod to the latest software. (iTunes 7 and iPod version 1.2.) I checked the box that said enable disk use, but it's not showing up on my WindowsXp home edition SP2. I go to My Computer and I don't see the iPod. I think usually does that. Does it on other PC's? I only enabled my iPod for disk use once and I don't remember. I had software verison 6.0.5 when I enabled for disk use and it worked.

Ipod 5th gen screen problem

Hey guys..
I have an ipod 5th gen last month and i have issues about its screen. In the middle left part of my ipod screen, when i put little pressure on it. It actually moves and it is not in place.
I think that apple engineers used a more un reliable glue for the screen borders. What should i do to prevent it from happening again on the other side of the screen?

ITunes to iPod (5th Gen) download problems

Problem encoutered: "Attempting to copy disk to iPod failed.The disk could not be read from or written to."
This is the messaged I've received in trying to download my current iTunes library to my new 5th Gen iPod.
I have found it I remove the last song that iTunes attempted to download to the iPod; the the downloading continues. BUT, it occured again with another totally different song.
What is going on here? Has this occured with any one else?
Lastly, I did call Apple. We did a restore and downloaded the lastest iPod software.

I posted this in another forum.
This may pertain to you as well.
"ALL RIGHT EVERYONE! Anyone who has problems with their iPod freezing while syncing Listen Up.
I have successfully figured out what needs to be done in order to get your iPod syncing properly.
What you will need for this it another hard drive or computer (running OS X)
You can either set a hard drive (like one of the previous iPods with OS X installed on it) as the startup disk in System Preferences.
OR
There's another option for you if you have another Mac..
What you'll need to do is start the one you need to repair (that you sync your Pod from) in "target disk mode" which is done by restarting the computer and holding the "T" button.
This puts your computer into Firewire mode, and makes your computer an external hard drive for another computer to view.
You will also need a 6pin-6pin Firewire cord - to connect the 2 computers.
Once you have the main computer up as a disk image on your other desktop, open disk utility and click the Repair disk option.
I did this and it said the drive could not be repaired, and I ran it again and it fixed it the second time, so that might happen to you too.
I know this seems like a lot to do to get your computer working with your iPod, but it definitely works.
If you don't have another computer, and (as most of you seem to) have a portable like a powerbook or an ibook, just bring it to an apple store and I'm sure they'll gladly help."
Let me know if you have any questions....
Good Luck!

Ipod First gen connetivity problem

I've just got given a first generation ipod from a friend but i'm having problems connecting to windows.
I have another first gen which is working fine on my pc! come to life as soon as it is plugged into the firewire card at the back of the pc and updates everything fine.
This "new" one doesn't do anything though! windows isn't detecting it at all! it doesn't turn on automatically when it is plugged in like it should. It charges fine through the firewire so what could be the problem?
I know the battery is poor on the ipod... could this be the problem? that it hasn't got enough power? both of my ipods don't charge when plugged into the pc.
I'm going to leave it charging for ages and ages and hope it works, also I may replace the battery on it.
any other ideas? The ipod is already set up to windows! and has loads of songs on it.

I have reset it several times. The battery is fully
charged as well. I've tried two different computers
and 2 different cables and it doesn't seem to show up
at all. It should come up with the apple logo and say
ok to disconnect but nothing comes on the screen at
all!
This sounds like there is a hardware problem in the iPod. Do you know that it was working properly when you aquired it?
Any ideas? should it show up in my computer? or
device manager?
Yes, it should. You should be able to see it in Device Manager and Disk Manager and if it is allocated a drive letter it should also show up in Explorer as a disk drive.

my ipod 4 th gen has a problem with the music when listening with headphones the main singer is drowned out by instruments and backup singers what should i do as the headphones work on my computer

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. 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 iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
