New Ipod Search Feature

can u only use the search feature with the new ipod video or can the old one do it to????

There still is a semi-"search" thing with your old 5G iPod.
When you scroll quickly through songs, a letter pops up in the middle of the screen, relating to the first letter of the artist's name.

  • Search feature in the new 1.2 software not working

    i just watched the video of the announcing of the new ipod features and it showed him using a search feature from the new 1.2 software but i dont have it on my ipod. why is this?

    Apple, if you read this, please consider adding the search to "old" 5G models. I just bought a 60g a month ago (I know, silly me) and the search option is something I've needed since my original iPod a couple years ago.
    I find it hard to believe that there is new hardware to support the search, although I suppose it might have a faster processor or something.
    Anyway, I would really like to be able to search.
    Please?

  • Search feature to be made available for 60GB iPod?

    I bought an iPod a few days ago. Typical - then they bring out a better version! Oh well. Will the new search feature be made available as an update to the 60GB iPod?

    The letters appearing while scrolling feature is new but that's not the search option that's been advertised. You can see the search feature here: iPod (late 2006) features

  • Ipod video (early '06 vs late '06) and the search feature

    I purchased the 5th generation video ipod in August of 2006 and have just noticed with my friends video ipod (late 2006) that there is this new search option under the music section (after audiobooks). Now I remember that when this suffle song feature came out in one of the updaters for the earlier ipods (such as 2nd and 3rd) both were able to get this feature. I am not sure if I am just having problems getting the new software updater to fully update my ipod but why would the non-late 2006 version have this search feature and not allow the earlier video to have it. I mean they are keeping them under the same 5th generation category. Not sure if anyone would be able to answer this or if it made sense but would greatly appreciate any input. Thanks.

    thanks for the help....still frustrating that they wont put that search feature in the updater.....hopefully soon though

  • Is the new Ipod Touch 5g compatible with all of the ios 6 features and is the new Ipod have the exact same design as the Iphone 5 for example square sides, instead of curving sides?

    Does the new Ipod have the same features as the Iphone 5 in terms of panorama, or like the new Isight camera? Like the same features/ design?

    it is compatible with most iOS 6 things, the main difference is just the fact that it doesn't have 3G or 4G, which limits how much it can use Siri or Maps.
    it does have panorama, and a 5 MP iSight camera. the design is different. it is a lot thinner, it has curved edges, and at no part of the side is it flat, same for the top and bottom. that is NOT the case for iPhone. also the iPod doesn't have a mic. on the front.
    hope this answered your question.
    just remember this for iOS 6: pretty much everything that doesn't always require internet the iPod can do. if it is something liketurn by turn direction, unless you have wi-fi in car, it wont work.
    if you need siri for anything outside of wifi, unless it's something on the hard drive itslef, i.e. setting up reminders, it wont work for thing such as facebook posts, looking for restaurants, etc.

  • Issues with new Ipod, & questions Ive searched the forum for with no luck!

    Hi everyone!
    Just got a brand new Ipod Touch 8G, used to have a used 16G but it finally broke. So since I bought this one brand new I actually decided to register it with Itunes under my email, unlike the last one which someone gave me and I could never get to let me sign in. I also JUST changed banks, and dont have the CC yet 4 the new one so I tried using Paypal as my registration payment type for Itunes, even went into Paypal and added ALL my new bank routing numbers, AND put a little cash into Paypal. At first this seemed to work fine with Itunes, it let me finish signing up and even let me start downloading a few free things, THEN I went into my separate paypal account window to remove an OLD prepaid Netspend card in case anyone charged the old card (trust me prepaid cc are a scam!) it wouldnt take my money from the bank thru paypal. AS SOON as i removed the card, Itunes stopped downloading my free stuff, and told me I had to verify payment information, took me to the main Itunes screen, where i again chose Paypal, only this time it took me right into Paypal to where u go to add a credit card and it told me I NEEDED to add a credit or debit card to paypal! WHY? It had worked fine, I have money on the account and a BANK ACCOUNT attatched!
    *So i decided to just work on copying my music from my computer to the Ipod since I couldnt get Itunes working. This is where I have a few questions, have searched here cant really find the info so here goes...
    first of all since I'm sure someone will ask what VERSION I have, WHERE the heck do you find this info? Cause all I know is its a brand new 8G Touch, it says nothing on the box about a version, when I access my General Settings on the Ipod, and go to About it says Version 4.0. So i guess thats my version even tho people on here have said there is nothing that high for the 8G?
    **Second, i have been trying to find a better way to organize my music. I KNOW i can simply go to Music, Artist, pick the band then hit shuffle, BUT I am a big fan of playlists, I like my music to play in a certain way usually. But I have some artists that I have HOURS of music for, Im not sure i understand how I can change exactly what songs play by this artist, in a certain order for that time? I'm guessing I need to use my actual Itunes computer screen to do this? Right now I just have all my songs by an artist under a playlist with their name.. However, I am more than willing to sacrifice some of my longer playlists with just one artist in them if ANYONE thinks that it would help free up ANY more space? I have seen quotes from Apple and such that say the 8G should be able to hold around 1700 songs, of course i know this is a rough estimate, as some songs are longer, but I havent put THAT much on it, under my General/About tab it says 360 songs, and I removed ALL my pics from it cause i have a lot, and STILL I have already supposedly filled up 3.73GB, and this bring me to my next big issue-
    **WHY does it claim to be 8G but my capacity now says its just 6.83!? I mean I havent added anything but music yet, and I planned on getting some of the free apps n such, but at this rate I wont have the space! I know 6.83 isnt far from 8, but still I feel cheated...does it have anything to do with the UPDATED version of the software that Apple convinced me to update RIGHT after I had JUST installed the Ipod? Cause it took forever then it said it was RESTORING my Ipod, and it told me on Itunes that it was restoring my music from backup! Why would it have erased all content during a basic upgrade without even telling me? Is there any way to uninstall that update and get back the memory it took up? And do these backup files take up space like on a normal computer? what about under settings where it says something about condense? I just think I must be doing something wrong cause 8G and 16G arent THAT vastly different,but the old touch I had had a WHOLE BUNCH more music on it PLUS 1000s of pics, PLUS some Apps, and wasnt nearly full, this one I added my fav artists and its nearly full?
    Well, thanks a bunch for anyone who stuck with me there...I'm not tech stupid I promise lol, I'm a 26 yr old college student and have even worked tech support before, but i admit I'm not at all familiar with the Apple software, system or much beyond the basics...I just spent nearly 200 on this thing, and it IS a great toy, I just want to be able to fully use it!
    Oh also, ive heard two things, that you DONT need a "sensor" seperate thing for the Nike app with the Touch, and that yes you DO...any idea? If i DO need to BUY something else I do not want it and can I remove it to free up space??
    thanks a bunch eagerly awaiting any answers...might have to call Apple today about the Itunes payment registration thing...

    Welcome to the discussions,
    WHY does it claim to be 8G but my capacity now says its just 6.83
    The size of you HD is calculated binary when it comes to use it, instead of decimal when companies want to advertise there products. 1 KB=1024Byte instead of 1000KB as advertised by the manufacturer. In your case this reduces the actual available space by the factor of 0.93 or approx. 7,4GB.
    If you have an "other" section in your color bar showing the different types of data on your ipod, which is bigger than 500MB, this could be a sign of corrupt data caused by a sync that did not complete or copied damaged data. A restore will reduce the size to normal again.
    Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you restore your ipod, iTunes will install the newest firmware first and then add back your data and settings from your last backup if you choose to "restore from backup". Every backup is replaced by the following one, so make sure to include this folder in your backup routine in case you'll have to go back.
    You can check the location and size of the backup folder for your ipod here:
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    copied from: About backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Sorry, I can't answer your payment question, I have never used your kind of setup, maybe you can find something useful here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/

  • HELP: New Search feature in 3.0 is TOO good

    Upon using the SEARCH feature I have discovered my emails are still available for the past 7 months!!! I thought I erased them off the Ipod....so my question is how do I remove them from being searched?
    The Calendar and Contacts list is great..... but I don't want/need access to all my old emails and certainly don't want precious space on my Ipod Touch (2G) to be storing old emails.
    Thanks for any answers!!!
    Stan

    Thanks for the reply.
    Well, after perusing the forum for similar requests---it seems that the Ipod Touch is storing the emails, calendar info, etc,...in the FREE SPACE on the Touch memory. The ONLY way to kill/erase it is to:
    1) Overwrite it by adding more content (i.e. load a couple movies)
    2) Delete your email account and then re-add it,
    3) Purchase an app called IErase which promises to erase the FREE SPACE...but it is $7......that's ridiculously priced.
    Not sure whether to do (1) or (2).........but thats what I have uncovered thus far.
    Sincerely,
    Stan

  • What are the new features in the new ipod touch?

    So for the new iPod Touch that came out on October 12th, what are the new features that they have?
    I can't find any difference between the last iTouch and this new iTouch.....plz tell me!

    There's no new iPod Touch. What came out Oct. 12 was just software, the new iOS 5. For an overview of new features, see here: http://www.apple.com/ios/

  • New search feature in iOS 4.2 not working

  • How do you get the search feature on the ipod 30gb ?

    for some reason, my ipod 30gb does not have the search feature that i have seen on other ipods
    hp dv6000   Windows XP  

    Interesting, I don't have such a feature, and I don't think that there is one. However I could be mistaken. Was the iPod connected to something, like a dock/stereo? Software for the iPods would probably have that feature if anything. I have the latest version, and yet, no search feature. I have a 60GB video iPod.

  • My iPod does not have search feature

    Hello.
    I bought a 60 GB iPod last September. I have it full of music, and I need the search feature for the music menu that I have seen in this web.
    Am I doing somethig wrong?
    It is not in my iPod Menu. WHy could be possible? I have updated the iPod software and it does not work.
    What can I do? I have over 3.000 songs and it is hard to find the song I want without this tool.
    Thank you to everybody.

    No there is no software update that will allow this feature, although there is the "quick scroll" feature that will work on your iPod.
    If you would like to see the "search" feature added to older iPods, add your voice to the many here.

  • HT4623 Since I installed the new update, my search feature will not work. It will only search my ipad. None of the searh engines work in Safari

    Since I installed the new operating System, my search feature does not work. I can only search my ipad. None of the search engines work in Safari. How do I fix it?

    Just just to make sure, you do not see something like this when you try to do a search in Safari?
    Try clearing Safari in Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and data. Then close Safari. Double tap the home button and drag the mini Safari window up toward the top of the screen in the multitasking display in order to close the app. Now reboot the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
    Try Safari again.
    The Spotlight Search feature on the iPad search) no longer searches the web, that is simply the way that Spotlight works now. Sort of a backwards move IMO but somewhat typical of Apple these days.

  • Search function on new ipod video

    I bought a new ipod video from america and it had the ood box, but the brightness control and the new battery on the actual ipod. But there is no search function on it.
    I have a friend who just received a new one back from apple with a brighter screen than the old one but without a search function or brightness control.
    Does anyone know whats going on?

    The search function is only on late 2006 model iPods.
    If it's a latest model, the serial number's last three digits will be one of the following: V9K, V9P, V9M, V9R, V9L, V9N, V9Q, V9S, WU9, WUA, WUB, and WUC.
