New 5th generation Ipod
I just bought a 30gb Ipod tuesday from BestBuy. How can I verify that it is the latest (5th generation Ipod) version capable of playing movies, games, has the better screen and battery life, etc.--all the stuff that was just announced?
I didn't know about the announcement until after I got home, (of course) and I've checked the last three of the serial number vs. an article on support and it doesn't match--but I'm not sure that's enough to know for sure. (The last three are Sz9)...
Oh, and BestBuy charged me $299--just before the prices dropped to $249 on the Apple site and their own site--just beware in case you shop there in the next few days. I plan to at least get a refund of the difference.
30gb Ipod
There is a brightness feature on the older 5g if you updated your firmware to 1.2, but otherwise NO. If the one you have has version 1.12 then that too would be an indicator that you have an older unit, since the newer ones would have 1.2.
I seriously doubt you got a new one. Did you get the new lower price? If not then I know you didn't get the newer model. I'd return it and order directly from Apple.
To the user that said BB won't take it back if you opened and use it? What kind of nonesense is that, you have 30 days to return an iPod under their current return policy.

Okay my girlfriend just got the new 5th generation ipod, and yesterday when she plugged it into her charger, a yellow triangle appeared and said that it wasnt supported by the charger, what can we do ?
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

How can I get my new 5th generation iPod to connect to my Wi-Fi
The Wi-fi signal shows up as strong but when I try to connect to Safari or talk to Siri, it dosen't work. When I go other places with my iPod, it connects fine. All my other electronics including a 2nd generation iPod have no problem connecting to the Wi-Fi. Also, I had a 5th generation iPod before my current one and it wouldn't connect eaither. What can I do?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- 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.

Set up new 5th generation ipod but want to keep using old4th generation one
I have just bought a beautiful new 5th gereration ipod as a gift for my partner, which I want to fill with the music from my library.
The ipod is still untouched in its box. Can anyone please tell me how to set it up for the first time, so that my itunes recognises the new ipod, but after loading it with music I can keep using itunes with my old 4th generation ipod?
Thanks!!Sorry, by saying it was untouched in its box I tried to describe in short that I had not done any kind of set up procedere with it. It's true, I took it out once, connected it to the computer, but nothing happened, it was not detected by the computer. I didn't think this was a problem, just thought this was normal and that I had to somehow 'set up' the ipod for the first time before I could load it with music. Now thanks to your help I know how it should have worked. I'll try the solutions offered in the article you gave me. Thanks!!

30gb IpodI recall hearing that the Apple Retail stores take iPod's for trade up to a new one. But I think you only get 10% off the new one - if I remember right.
Small Dog electronics also takes trades. Right now their web page says they are giving $40 for a 2GB Nano and $65 for a 4GB Nano. Everything must be working and the battery must last at least two hours. Here is the website with the details: http://www.smalldog.com/wag13041/
This place http://www.thedropspot.com/ipod/select.aspx apparently buys used iPods.
I'm not endorsing any of these, I just did a Google search for "iPod Trade in" and found them. -
New 5th generation ipod wont install software and is now stuck in recovery mode
I just received a 32 GB iPod touch 5th generation for Christmas today. I installed the newest version of itunes, backed up my former iPod to the computer and then plugged in the new one to add the software and restore it from the back up. After the 3 hours of installing the software was almost done it said an unknown error ocurred. Now my new iPod is stuck in recovery mode and won't get past restoring the iPod. I have tried to go through it several times now. I really want to get this working, but I don't know what to do anymore.
The problem is that it stops restoring. I go throught the recovery stage to restore it and not even a quarter of the way through it comes up with the message that an unknown error has occured. Every time i connect it to iTunes it tells me that it has detected an iPod in recovery mode.

Problems with my new 5th generation ipod nano
I bought my ipod nano 8GB 5th generation about two months ago. I am having two problems. First, the internal speakers are giving me problems. I always plug the headphones in all the way, and they will work just fine until I barely touch the cord. Something as simple as moving my ipod or putting it in my sweatshirt pocket makes the song pause (even with hold ON) and when I push play again, the song is playing both in the headphones and the internal speakers. If I mess around with the cord again, it will automatically pause, then I push play and it works in the headphones only again (until the cord gets bumped again). I have also tried using different headphones (ipod and samsung) and the same thing happens. It is driving me crazy!! I want to be able to listen to my ipod and not worry about disturbing other people or constantly having to push play because it paused then having to mess with the cord to be able to listen to it.
My second problem is my battery charge. It was fully charged one night and I could only listen to it for two and a half hours before it died. Granted it was constantly pausing and I would have to push play and mess around with the cord, I think it should be lasting longer than that. Now I hardly ever use it because the battery charge won't last and the headphone cord is so sensitive. This is the second ipod I have ever bought and my second bad experience with them. So please if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it!
Thank YouYikes...thats umm not right it sounds either damaged or defective and the problem is I think you only have a short period to do a return.
Now youll have to lean on warranty. Perhaps purchase the ext applecare warranty from a secondary vendor to save cash and then use it?
Either way you need to have it fixed thats def' not right. -

How do I go about setting up my new 5th generation IPod in Windows 7 Premium
I'm trying to setup my iPod touch but having one problem one of the requirements is I need Service Pack 3. How do I go about upgrading to service pack 3 for windows 7?
Go to the control panel. YOu should see an option for windows update. If you don't see it that way, look for the security part of your menu (there are different views and I don't have a Win 7 computer handy at the moment to see the exact how)
Go through the update process. Depending on your internet speed it could take a bit.
Once it's done, make sure your iTunes is up to date. YOu will need 11.1 for your iPod, especially if your iPod already has iOS7 on it.
Once your iTunes is up to date then you can connect your iPod and go through the setup process. -
How do I get a movie on DVD into my new 5th Generation ipod?
I read up, and it seems the only way to get a DVD movie onto the 60 GB iPod is to buy Quicktime Pro. I wouldn't have a problem with this if I was just sure that a DVD format will convert well with this program. In fact I'm not ever sure how to transfer a full legnth DVD to my mac's hard drive.
Thanks for you help guys!
MichelleBefore you go with Quicktime Pro, do a search. Others have had problems with the video converting but when putting on the iPod no sound.
Since you have a Mac, alot are using a program called Handbrake. A quick search will give you the info you need.
I'm a Windows person using a purchased program. -
Buying a new 5th generation iPod
My old iPod is completely broken. A replacement is on its way. All my songs are in iTunes. Will I need to upload them all again, or is there any way I can use the existing files? It will take me days to do all my CDs again!
No, you don't need to back your songs up... but it's definitely a good idea.
Apple has this article for backing up your iTunes library:

my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore. I've re-installed iTunes, the latest version for Tiger, I've reset and restored my iPod. The ipod shows up fine in the source banner and I can transfer files to it, however when I unplug the iPod the files are not there.
Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder. If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application. Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.
