Transfering movies onto iPod 5th Gen
Most of my movies are downloads and are on my laptop in .AVI format for space saving, my computer plays them OK.
I tried transfering them onto iTunes window but it didn't recognise AVI files so I converted them to MPEG2 then converted them onto iPod it plays sound but no picture so I converted the AVI again to MPEG1 then converted onto iPod this time iPod plays picture but no sound. Anybody got any suggestions??

If a movie plays audio but no video you need to change the video setting.
On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.
If there's video but no audio it's usually because Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Can new iPod Classic play movies types iPod 5th Gen cannot?
I have an iPod 5th generation and I have not really tried to put movies on it. My wife just got a new iPod classics and we've been uploading (MP4 H.264 codec) movies on her iPod Classic. When I try to upload it on my iPod 5th Gen I get an error these files cannot be uploaded since the iPod cannot play these file types. I had the same with a *.mov file.
Can the new iPod Classic play more than the iPod 5th Gen? Or is there a way to fix this?Try right clicking the movie in iTunes and picking the "Convert for iPod" option. Then try syncing the converted copy ("converting" makes a new copy, old version is left alone) to your 5th gen.

I need some help getting a movie onto my iPod. I have the DVD and would like to put it onto my iPod but am having problems. Can someone walk me thru the procedure please. When I check whats on the iPod I can see a large file so I think its there but then I cant find it listed under "videos" or "movies" so I cannot access it to watch it.
Most people who post here asking about putting DVDs onto their iPod are talking about commercial DVDs. If you talking about home movies, then that's not a problem. (But I'm not sure about the steps to format them.) However, if you're asking how to transfer a movie from a commercial DVD (like Die Hard), we are not allowed to talk about that here because it involves breaking encrypting copyright protection on the DVD.
If you want to transfer home videos from a DVD you've made yourself, I suggest you repost and make it clear that's what you're talking about, otherwise, most folks here will think you're talking about commercial DVDs.

How do you get your own videos or movies in iPod 5th Gen
Is it not possible to put our own movies into an iPod? I own my movies, just as I own my music...but I can't figure out how to get any of my movies into my iPod. Or do you have to buy all movies thru iTunes in order to play them on the iPod...???
I would appreciate any advice on this subject - Thank you!!Look here for some different programs that will help you convert home movies to iPod compatible.

Moving iPod 5th Gen movies to iPod Touch
I was wondering...what would happen if I moved my iPod 5th Gen movies (no longer on my computer) to a iPod Touch?
Would the video be the size of the iPod 5th Gen screen?Personly I have found that moves encoded for the Ipod Video do not work with the Ipod Touch. ie, I get the can't play on this device error message when syncing in I tunes.
However re-encoding the video using a converter that supports the iTouch (Videora) everything was ok. -
How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)? I just bought an ipod 5th gen and when I plugged it in, it only synced purchases.
You restore the media to your new computer using the backup you made of your old computer before it died. You did backup your computer, right?

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.

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?
Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:

I can't sync playlists from my iPod 5th gen to my iTunes library on new laptop
I have a new laptop and have managed to move all my music to it and install iTunes and all the albums are correct and present, but it was a bit complicated. I'm not sure if we missed a step in moving everything via a larger hard drive, but my playlists were not transferred and even though my iTunes recognises my iPod 5th gen it won't actually sync. I have run the diagnostic test, it says it's all fine. It won't sync new purchases and I can't copy playlists from my iPod back into the iTunes library. I have 15 playlists and I don't want to do it all over again. Does anyone have any ideas?
Anyone have any ideas?I did find that if I bought new songs from iTunes that I could transfer them to playlists on my iPod, but otherwise when I connect the iPod, under settings (on the left under the device icon) if I select music, it brings up the tick box for sync music. If I try to tick that box, it asks if I am sure if I want to remove existing music and sync with this iTunes library.

Can the iPod (5th Gen) be used as an external hard drive? (w/ no syncing)
Dear Forum:
Can the Ipod (5th Gen) be used as an external hard drive where I can manually (without syncing) transfer photos to the drive? My goal is to be able to transfer images from my MacBook (OS 10.4.11) to the Ipod and then erase some of the pics on my MacBook to save space; this will be something I'd doing when I'm traveling--I don't want to be carrying my desktop external hard drive with me.
Naturally I don't want to sync the photos onto the Ipod because I'll be erasing photos to save space. By the way, I use Aperture 2 (with latest firmware) if it helps to know.
Ideally, is there a way I can "see" the Ipod as an external hard drive, so I can move files onto it?
Thanks,
SteveClick here and follow the instructions.

My iPod 5th gen. doesn't have a back camera. Can I trade it in for one that does have a back camera? If I can, can I keep all my pictures and have them switched over to the other one?
If you purchased it from Apple within the last 14 days then you can return it for a full refund. otherwise no. If you purchased it elsewhere you have to check with them.

I've had my iPod 5th gen for a few months now and out of nowhere the microphone has stopped working.
I've had my iPod 5th gen for a few months now and out of nowhere the microphone has stopped working. It won't pick up anything, I can't use it for recording, face time, siri or anything else. Every time I try and record and play it back its just all fuzzy, is there anyway of fixing it without having to send it off for repair?
- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the tope edge near the center.
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- 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.

You can also send it to Apple. -

HT3204 I can't download apps to my ipod 5th gen - ever since I updated to the ios7.4 :( Please help!
Hi ~
I recently upgraded to the ios 7.04 and ever since I am unable to download apps to my ipod (5th gen).
The new apps show up in my itunes library but they will not download onto my ipod.
I feel as though I have tried everything.
Please help with whatever tips you may have for me!
Thank you!I had to do a quick check, thanks! Here are a few I think should be working:
Temple Run
Sunday Lawn
Where's my Water
Dora Dress up
Dora ABC
Spy Mouse

Some other apps say iOS 4+ but don't list the iPod Touch 2nd gen in the description, so I'm guessing they just don't work no matter the OS. However, the apps listed above say OS 3+ and just say ipod touch, so I think they should work. I'm running iTunes 10.3 but not the most recent release, and am updating as I type just in case that's the problem. Thanks for any help or advice! -
Is it possible to install a 160 GB Toshiba slim-fit HDD from an iPod Classic 2009 model into a iPod 5th Gen Late-2006 model that originally had a 30 GB Toshiba drive?
I have had my 30 GB iPod video for about 7 years, it was a gift and has served me well. Unfortunately it was in my pocket when I brushed up against a very powerful magnet which latched onto the unit and scrambled the hardware. Sad iPod icon.
I was told I probably need to replace the HD in order to get it back to working order. What I am wondering is, would I be able to replace it with a larger capacity drive so long as I got a unit that was slim enough to fit into the casing?Have you tried resetting the PRAM? http://gigaom.com/2011/07/26/when-to-reset-your-macs-pram-and-smc/
Which Windows version are you trying to install? If I remember right, you can't use windows 8 on these older machines.
Other than that it's hard to say what could have gone wrong. I can only suggest going through the steps again carefully and making sure everything worked the way it should.
Have a look at this article too for a slighly more verbose instruction on making a drive bootable: http://www.instructables.com/id/Install-Windows-7-without-USB-or-DVD-without-upg ra/
