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

I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.

As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.

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;

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.

Can't update iPod 5th gen to iOS 7.0.4

y son received an iPod 5th gen for Christmas but it hasn't been updated so it is using the 6.1.3 version. My MacBook and the iPod itself won't update, any ideas on how to fix this please?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

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 7.4.1 (2) & iPod 5th gen Error - Not playing complete lists.

I have on my computer over 3000 songs, and 12 movies... on my iPod I have the identical setup. When I upgraded to 7.4.1 (2) I found that my iPod now no longer plays all the lists. My music list which only has 152 songs plays only 22 of them on my iPod...
When I play an audio book that has over 100 files to its name, it only plays 20 of them... I have restored the iPod twice, formated and restored it once, and this still happens.
Anyone have a clue why?

I finally stumbled across a fix for this problem, and in case someone else is frustrated at some point by a similar issue I'm posting what finally worked to enable me to bring iTunes up at any time (without rebooting first).
The solution was to go to the preferences to uncheck "search for shared libraries".
I'm glad the problem is fixed, but Apple developers really should include a timeout function on iTunes search for a shared libraries. At least a visual dialog to confirm that the application is in the process of searching for a shared library on the network would help provide clues as to what is causing the spinning beach ball to appear right about the time the application window should pop up.

How can I play gmes on ipod 5th gen with ios 7?

When I open up games center, it gives me a list of games that I have, but there is no way to play them. I have searched the manuals and videos and found no mention of this. Am I just missing something?

A.wolf6, just wondering what you expected to add by posting the same answer as the last two repliers but 14 days later.
I'm sorry for posting so much later but I was looking for something else and happened to see this question. Since I've seen some discussions go on for months I didn't realize there was a time limit for posting a reply.
I don't know if you read the first two replies but they both said it wasn't possible to do what the person wanted to do. They want to launch a game from Game Center and the other two replies said they can only open games by using the icon for the game itself. That's not true and I just wanted to let them know. I have only used iPad and iPhone though so I apologize if my suggestion doesn't work for the iPod but my answer was totally different from the first two replies.
I rarely post anything and only post if I think what I have to offer may be helpful to someone. People like you are the reason I don't usually even bother with these forums. At least my post was relevent to the subject and not just a juvenile jab at a random person, why would you take the time to type that? Even if my answer was the same as the first two, why did it make you so angry that I posted it 14 days later? Maybe I am just a level 1 and you're way up there at level 10 but that doesn't mean you need to be obnoxious. It sounds like you woke up in a bad mood--I really hope your day gets better!

IPod 5th Gen Won't Connect to Chargers

So I've had my iPod 5th gen with iOS 7.1.2 for a little over a year now, and recently I noticed it wouldn't connect to any chargers I had. I went online and bought a brand new lightning cable to find that that would not work either. Then I read about cleaning my charger port to get dust out, and I did that getting large amounts of debris out of there with a toothpick, but it still will not charge properly. The only way I can get my iPod to charge is to bend the cable (even the brand new one) in a certain direction. Can anyone help me?

DIM/GRAY
See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:

Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes

My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update!

My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update! Before this all happened, I noticed that my apps crashed unexpectedly, it was laggy, and it decides to reset on its own at times. I CAN'T charge or plug it into my computer. Also, my home button is sunk in but my sleep/wake button at the top is most definitely not. I know my iPod was not running out of battery and I did not even power it off. I am very disappointed but I really need it to turn on =/

IPod 5th gen frozen after upgrading to iOS 8

I was able to download and install of iOS 8 on my iPod 5th gen (no iSight camera version). Everything went great, no errors or warnings. After it installed and the iPod reset, it is now stuck on a white screen with a black Apple and the progress bar. It has been stuck on this screen with the progress bar about 5/6 of the way across for hours.
It is still shows in iTunes with the model, capacity, and the check for update, restore iPod, backup now, and restore backup buttons. iTunes says it is on iOS 8. When I click on any of the above buttons, I get a message that "Find my iPod must be turned off before iPods can be restored." I feel like a ******* not turning Find My iPod it off before upgrading, but it should have told me to turn if off before upgrading.
I cannot power the iPod off to try to reset it, nothing happens.
Am I screwed and now have a metal and glass brick, or is there anything I can do?
