Solution for making 5th gen iPod working under Win98

It seems that there is still a demand for using iPod with Windows 98.
So, thanks to Josh input, I have upgraded iPod Win98 drivers for 5th gen iPods.
Version 2.3 supports both a new video iPods and Nano being backward compatible with 3G, 4G, Mini and Shuffle.
Regarding iTunes replacements I've seen some users reporting success with Winamp iPod plugin v. 1.3.
More info at http://win98.drivers.w.interia.pl/ipod.html

I know you said windows 98 but do you think it would work on window ME? i've got music on my old computer that i would like to transfer over without re-ripping the CD.

Regular, 5th gen ipod work with mini speakers?

Ok i have a green mini, but i am going to be purchasing a new 5th gen regular ipod. I have the Altec Lansing In Motion speakers for the mini: http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0006ZO2CG.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
but theres the little clasps to attch the mini on them, how can i use these speakers with a 5th gen ipod? is there any converter? anyone have this same problem?

Unfortunately you cannot use your speaker system with your new iPod the same way you used it with your mini. You can, however, use it with a standard 3.5mm audio cable. You won't be able to charge or sync your iPod though.
Hope this helps

Recommend a case for a 5th gen iPod Nano

Just got a 5th Gen Nano and looking for a good case to protect it. I actually got one of these...
http://www.amazon.com/Incase-Slim-Sleeve-iPod-Nano/dp/B002SK6M7A/ref=sr1_fkmr13?ie=UTF8&qid=1269585897&sr=1-3-fkmr1
...but it's hard to get to the controls with it.
Any suggestions for something to protect the iPod, but allows easy access to all the controls?

I use this one. Pros: Works perfectly. I like the clip on the end as I wear the iPod around my neck or clipped to a waist band if I don't have any pockets.
The leather is sturdy & not in the way of any of the controls. I do not have to remove the case to recharge, use click wheel, hold button & earplugs.
Case was free from the place I purchased my iPod from.
Cons: I have to remove the case to show people the color of my iPod & my custom engraving.

Should I wait for the 5th gen iPod Touch or keep my 64Gb 4th gen and not return it?

Bought a 32Gb iPod Touch and while it was being shipped I realized I'm going to need the 64Gb's if I plan on removing the music off of my 64Gb iPhone and putting it on the iPod and using my iPod as my music source. So I took it ot the Apple store last night and swapped it for the 64Gb. Well I got to thinking, this thing is just over a year old - a new one HAS to be on its way in the near future, right? Certainly they wouldn't go a full two years to refresh the iPod's with the A5 chips that have been out almost a year already. If they were to go with another September launch for the iPod but next year the A5 chip is almost irrelevant by then, A6 will be in the iPad 2S/3, A6 will be in the next iPhone ----- and then the old A5 would just be dropped into the iPod? Just doesn't make logical sense to me. I believe an iPod refreshment will be launched fairly soon, maybe a long side the next iPad release? What do you guys think? The way I'm just seeing it is that I don't really need the iPod right now, so that $400 credit could be used for even double the space the 64Gb has for the same price when the 5th gen launches? And whatever other bells & whistles the 5th gen will offer. I'd feel stupid for paying the $400 knowing I don't need it quite yet and that a refreshment could possibly be on the way soon. Thoughts?

It is all up to you. I have not heard any announcement from Apple about a 5G iPod touch. SInce you do not "need" then wait.

Could you trade in your iPod 5th gem for another 5th gen iPod but a different color

I have an 5th generation iPod but I just want to switch the color to yellow so can I trade in my blue iPod for a yellow iPod

If you bought it 14 days ago or less, return it and buy the color you want.

Can I trade out my 4th Gen Ipod Touch, for the 5th Gen Ipod Touch?

I have an Ipod Touch 4th Gen that I bought in April with the warranty, and I was wondering if I could trade it in for the Ipod Touch 5 and pay a much smaller amount for it.

On Amazon.com, you can: http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/s/ref=tradeinavs?url=rh%3Dn%3A2226766011%26i%3De lectronics-tradein&field-keywords=iPod&Go.x=17&Go.y=13

I forgot my passcode for my 5th gen ipod and it won't restore because the 'Find My iPod' feature is on. What should i do?!?!

I changed my passcode for my iPod but I have forgotten what it is. I tried to restore my iPod through iTunes but it won't because the Find my iPod feature on iCloud is on. What should i do?!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
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
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

After Firmware update for my 5th gen ipod computer no loger recognizes ipod

I updated the firmware for my ipod (a pop up informed my after connecting my ipod that a firmware update was available) waited 20-30 minutes my ipod stayed lit with the "do not disconnect screen" After it rebooted itself -accordingly to part of the update's description. THe ipod never showed up on the ipod dock again nor on my computer's desktop. There are no longer any ipod tab is missing in the itunes prefs as well. I went to disk util -NOTHING- My computer no longer recognizes the ipod -not even as a generic drive. Ive tried different usb ports no dice. Tried the reset on my ipod, tried rebooting my computer several times. I am running the latest version of Itunes 7.01. I purchased my ipod and computer around (last April or May). HELP!

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

Docks for the 5th Gen. iPod

I am in need for an iPod dock to charge the iPod and to play the iPod out loud. The iPod dock should be reasonably price nothing outrageous priced. The iPod dock should have the ability of running on batteries but more important it should be able to plug in the wall. An extra but nice thing would be to charge the iPod with the case on. I was wonder if there are any good docks with all that and has good reviews by the consumer.

It is all up to you. I have not heard any announcement from Apple about a 5G iPod touch. SInce you do not "need" then wait.

Very poor Customer Service for 5th Gen IPOD

Hello,
I have been trying to get the missing parts for the 5th Gen Ipod Video I received for Christmasfor the past couple of hours. The box was never opened and wrapped in cellophane. It is missing the earbuds, foam earbud pads and usb cable along with anything else that comes with it. So I go on the tech support site and nothing is offered for missing parts. I call customer service who then tells me I have to call Tech support. I call Tech support who then transfers me to customer service. Customer service then tells me that if it wasn't ordered thru Apple.Com I'm SOL. I asked to speak to a manager. Shannon in customer service instead transfers me back to Tech support. So I waited and politely spoke to them telling them what I have gone thru. Justin in Tech support asks me to hold for a couple of minutes which I do then he disconnects me. I'm on the website looking for an email to Apple customer service and can't find one. Can anybody help with an email contact to get my missing parts. Taking the IPOD back would involve shipping back up North to have the person who gave it to me as a gift to take it back then reship it back to me. I had never had an issue with previous IPODS and this is just insane.
Thanks,
Jeff

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Sorry for all of the trouble
Call this number again...
1-800-275-2273
And tell them what has happened, what you have gone through, etc. Be polite and just say that you are just looking to get headphones that didn't come with (although I find this strange, but I'm not at all saying that you are lying).
Apple doesn't really have email support for iPods, so I'd just call again and explain what you've gone through.
Good Luck!

5th gen ipod classic

How can i replace the battery for a 5th gen ipod classic? The support centre says it is now "vintage" and can't replace it?

There are still several third party services out there that offer a battery replacement service for the 5G iPod Video. A Google search for "iPod 5G Battery replacement" should give you a number of results to work with.
Otherwise, you can choose to swap out the battery for a new one yourself using of the many guides found online. I usually go with the ones over at http://www.ifixit.com.
As for where to find purchase a replacement battery, there are several online retailers and resellers to offer them as well. Some of the places that offer the replacement service also offer the parts, so you can check there as well. Just make it the battery is specifically advertised as being for the 5G iPod Video.

5th Gen. iPod overall performance

I need opinions on this:
while playing a song, if I start skipping songs, eventually I hit about a 5+ second lag before it even loads the text for the selected song. I wouldn't have thought this was weird except for the fact that, on a 20GB iPod (color screen), the song selecting seemed much more instantanious with only a 2 or so second lag before loading the new song. This seems to be the case with browsing the photo library as well.
Is this abnormal behavior for my 5th Gen. iPod with just over 16GB of data on it? I didn't check how much space was being used on the 20GB iPod, but does this sound abnormal at all? Should it be performing faster, or is this all relative to how much of the hard drive is being used?

Hacking or modding any iPod goes against Apple's policies for proper use, hence it is not permitted, as per the Terms of Use, to discuss such things on Apple Discussions.
I would suggest visiting some other iPod forums (ilounge.com perhaps) to discuss this.
You're more likely to get a reply if you post there.

Upgrading 5th Gen Ipod 30Gig HD to one larger

I am curious to find out if it is possiblle to upgrade the 30GIG ipod video and pic model to a larger hard drive or not. I would rather do this instead of buying a whole new Ipod if it is possible. Can anyone answer this question? And if it IS possible, can you tell me if I would have to do anything extra in order to accomplish this. Thanks for any help that can be given.

See http://www.notpopular.com/blog/comments.php?blogID=63. Note that this will void your warranty. To find hard drives for the 5th gen iPod, see http://www.welovemacs.com/mk6008gah.html. You can also find a 80GB drive at http://www.welovemacs.com/mk8010gah.html. Note that you will have to buy a larger backing (the silver part) for your iPod. They can be ordered at http://www.welovemacs.com/1604backpanel.html. I myself didn't know this could be done, but look what a simple google search turned up!
