Language settings on new 30gb black ipod

My sister received an iPod (30gb black) for Christmas this morning. When she turned it on, she tells me the display is showing a collection of symbols as opposed to text. I am guessing the language is set the Chinese or Japanese???
I am currently away so am unable to figure it out!
Anyone able to explain the process to change the language to English.

See this.
How to change the display language.

  • Can't add my itunes library to my new 30GB video iPod... help please

    I have had a 20GB ipod with itunes. I had 822 songs on that itunes library, and just today got an 30GB ipod video. I want the songs already in my library to go into my new ipod. How can I do that without putting all those cds back in and downloading everything again song-by-song?
    Thanks a bunch, If you need clarification, just post and ask.

    If the songs are in iTunes on your computer then just connect your new iPod, it will by default automatically update from your iTunes library. If they are not in iTunes but are on your original iPod you'll need to get them back onto the hard drive and into iTunes.
    There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    There are also a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod and return them to iTunes, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • I just bought a new 30gb video ipod and......

    The Video starts to play but there is no sounds..
    I looked on iTunes there was two of the same video's one played sound and one did not, the one that did not play sound was the one that was converted to the ipod format.

    Yes,
    I had same problem with converting Video using iTunes.
    Just try on "Videora iPod Converter" from http://www.videora.com/en-us/Download/
    It is fast and Perfect!
    It will resolve your problem.

  • Keeping 30GB Black 5G iPod clear of scratches.

    OK guys, i just recieved my 30GB Black iPod a few days ago. I'm keeping it in the included pouch and it still has no scratches but i know it will soon have. So, what would be the best choice for me, the invisible shield or the iCleaner Pro? I just want to keep my iPod like new. Is the invisible shield easy to put on? Would the iCleaner Pro really erase all the scratches on the iPod?
    How does the iCleaner Pro compares to the Applesauce Polish they sell in Invisible Shield?
    How does the Invisible Shield compares to the iDiddy or the Opticover?

    As far as I know, there is no black adaptor, they are all white. If you get the universal dock, it is white as well, and so are the earbuds. I found black earbuds on Ebay that are exactly the same as the OEM ones.

  • 30GB Video iPod quirks...

    I have been having some odd issues with my new 30GB Video ipod. First, it sometimes doesnt want to unmount. I have to turn off most software and log out of other open accounts before it may (or may not) work. Second, I was playing music on it today and noticed that while they showed up in the playlists, the name of the songs as they played were blank. It showed the album art, but nothing else. Oh, and the icon for a video was in the upper right of the screen...weird! I restored it and now it seems fine, but I'm not sure if anyone else is having similar quirks. Anyone?.........Bueller?......Bueller?

    PLEASE DON'T POST IN CAPS LOCK, AS IT IS SIMILAR TO
    SCREAMING.
    This sounds like your alarm is set. Go to
    Extras-->Clocks and make sure that the alarms are
    off. Make sure there are no alarms set for your
    calendar either.

    THANKS I WILL CHECK THAT OUT. AND IF YOU THINK THAT USING CAPS IS SCREAMING, THEN YOU GOT QUIRKS! EVER THINK THAT I USE CAPS FOR MY BAD VISION? I HAVE TO USE A MAGNIFYING GLASS FOR MY I POD. IT'S NOT ABOUT SCREAMING ALL THE TIME.

  • 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

  • My ipod is smashed and i need to get a new screen, my ipod is currently black, when i get my screen fixed would i be able to change it into a white one?

    My ipod is smashed and i need to get a new screen, my ipod is currently black, when i get my screen fixed would i be able to change it into a white one? and if so how much would it cost?

    First: Apple does not replace screens or repair mobile devices in any way. They will replace the device.
    Second: No. You will get the same model you had before.

  • Video dissable on new 30gb 5th gen Ipod

    Ok I just bought my first Ipod, I got the 30gb black 5th generation Ipod.
    When trying to browse thru all the features, I found thet the video option on my Itunes when looking at the Ipod options is dissable, grayed-out, it like I can go thru every tab on the screen and everything is there and you can customize the way you sync your music, podscasts and photos the way you want it, manually or automatic, but the video tab wont let me choose anything, then if I try to drag a Video from my library to the Ipod it will say that my ipod cannot pl;ay videos.
    Any ideas???
    Thanks in advance

    Well its the disk that came with the Ipod, just got it on the mail yesterday. I think is version 6. not sure what patch is it. But shouldn't it work right away with the same software that comes with the Ipod package?
    Can I try that Ipod on a second computer runnign the latest Itunes or is it tie to only one computer?

  • My new 6th gen ipod seems to be chinese - can anyone help?  Can't find the language menu because - it's all in chinese (I think)

    Does anyone know where in settings presumably the language settings are?  Thanks v much, everything was in chinese when I switched on.

    You're welcome

  • Restored computer to original settings need to export new songs to ipod

    Ok this is a two part question. I recently erased and reinstalled tiger osx. im new to the world of ipod so i did not know that erasing all the songs on itunes would put it out of synch with the computer. i thought it might and tried deleting a couple hundred and the updated the ipod but all the song were still on the ipod. So my question is this: is there a program that i can use to export new songs to ipod with out erasing whats on there already? i tried to drag the itunes folder onto the ipod icon but that did not work. The ipod i have is a 30gig video. second part of the question is if i have to import all the songs from ipod to the computer how woould i do that seeing that it is not in sych anymore.
    thanks for the help

    Try Senuti.
    It's a free program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.

  • 30GB Video Ipod must restore, but cant due to error 1418

    So I was listening to my ipod yesterday and it was fine. I picked a new song, and it started to skip songs rapidly. It all of a sudden messed and now it says I need to restore it. I plugged my ipod into my itunes (which is completly up to date) and itunes says
    "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod."
    Disconnecting and reconnecting gave me the same thing, so I clicked restore. Since I'm on a mac, i typed in the correct user name and password. Then I get the error
    "The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1418)"
    and when I click Ok, the iPod screen goes away and I'm left with an iPod that needs to be restored. I've repeated the steps many times and the same messages come up over and over and over. What can I do here?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    weeman,
    i'm a pc user and i'm having the same problem with my 30gb video ipod (5th generation). the latest version of itunes cannot restore my ipod to its original setting because of a corrupted file. tell me this, when you turn on your ipod, does the apple logo appears followed by a message in four different languages saying that you need to connect your ipod to a computer and use itunes to restore. my ipod displays no colors at all. i've searched everywhere in the apple website and there are no solutions and my computer couldn't even format it.
