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!

Can't get the sound to work on my 5th Gen iPod 30gig movies

For some reason, every movie that I have on my iPod, mainly music videos, have no sound. I just bought this iPod and I am still learning how to use it, however I cannot find anything in the forums to help me troubleshoot this problem. Can anyone give me any pointers on how to get my sound to work with my movies? Thanks

Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes 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).

5th Gen IPOD 60gig Lockups after upgrade to 1.2

I own 2 60gig IPODs and two XP computers
Successfully updated to Itunes 7 but after upgrading the
IPOD to 1.2 the IPOD started locking up. On the main menu it would lockup. I tried all suggestions on this forum
and using my wifes XP, I was able to restore the IPOD back to 1.1.1 (This required resetting twice while using the old update function.)
After ITUNE 7.02 came out I tried again with the same result
This time with both 5th gen IPODs on Both XP machines with the same result. Both IPODS would lock up after upgrading to Version 1.2
Now the Libraries are not backward compatible with ITUNEs 6
so I uninstalled ITUNES 7 and reinstalled ITUNES 6 using the CD that came with the IPODS and successfully restored
the IPODS back to version 1.1.1. Then upgraded both XP
machines to Itunes 7.02 and warned my wife and my dog and myself to never follow the option of upgrading the IPOD
when asked by ITUNES...
Does anyone have any ideas as to
1) When if ever will I be able to successfully upgrade to 1.2 and use the games and watch the TV show I purchased
on my IPOD ?
2) Has anyone using XP with USB 2.0 successfully upgraded.
to version 1.2 Am I the only one having this Problem?
3) Would it be possible to go to the APPLE store and Ask them to Format and UPGRADE the IPODS to version 1.2?
4) Would it be possible for someone from Apple to respond
to this issue on this Forum?

Applied Firmware Update 1.2.1 and it worked...
Thank you Apple for finally fixing a major problem
without ever acknowledging you had it...
or even indicating what you update fixed when you distibuted
it...
I think apple needs some lessons how to provide support...
without irritating its customer base...
All you have to do is communicate...
Respond with a message like "Known Problem" working on fix.
would do wonders... And having an apple employee update
the Discussions with an indication that you acknowledge
your user community is having a serious problem and thank them for continueing to wait for a fix..

Questions regarding upgrade from 4th gen to 5th gen iPod

I recently received a new 80 gig 5th gen iPod and had 2 questions regarding it and my old 40 gig 4th gen. PC meets minimun requirements and is running XP Pro.
1) Do I need to do anything before synching the new 5th gen iPod with my existing Library (i.e. uninstall iPod Updater for 4th gen)?
2) If I don't need to uninstall the 4th gen Updater, can I run both iPods off the same Library, same user (obviously not simultaneously)?

Hey, joggy!
1) No, I don't believe you do. Be sure to disconnect the 4th gen iPod before connecting the 5th generation iPod to the computer.
2) Yes, you can.
There are basically two methods with managing muleiple iPods on one computer:
Method 1 - Create different Windows users accounts for each resgistered iPod on this computer.
Method 2 - Create a playlist in iTunes for each iPod.
To make Method 2 work, connect one of your iPods, and click on it in the left-source panel.
Under the "Music" tab, and set your option for a specific playlist(s) under the "Sync Music" option.
Do the same with your other iPod; not connected at the same time, though.
For more details on this matter, check out Apple's Support article about it:
How to manage multiple iPods using one computer
I hope that helps you.

5th Gen iPod, seen by Windoze, not by iTunes

I've been too busy lately to hang out keep up with the iTunes 7 issues, but I still have to stop the iPod service, attach my iPod, start iTunes/start the service every time I want to sync. Is there any hope that this is a temporary condition or is this just how it's gonna be from now on? iTunes 7, 5th Gen iPod w/1.2 software, XP Pro SP2.
TIA for your comments/help.

Wow, 10 days and not a single reply. Guess I'm not the only one too dumb to figure out what's wrong with iTunes.

5th gen iPod Touch crashes spontaneously

Hi there
My 5th Gen iPod Touch crashes at random times, usually when on wifi. When it does this, it resets my clock by ten or twenty or thirty minutes and I have to fix the time because it does not automatically restore via the Internet. I tried restoring my iPod, both at home and at the Apple Store, but when the person helping me ran a diagnostic on it I was told nothing came up. My diagnostic data was still on the iPod and I had three kernel panic reports and about eight reset counter reports, so I'm not sure why I was told that. I've seen a similar thread on here saying it was probably the battery, so I thought that was the problem, but I've just been told otherwise. I don't know what to do because last night I plugged in my iPod and left the room, then came back to find the screen cracked (I'm guessing having to do with the battery). No one else was in the room and I didn't drop it. Because I don't know how to reproduce the problem, I'm having a hard time proving it exists regardless of diagnostic data, and now it looks like I dropped it and that damaged the device, when that is honestly not the case. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you.

Hello
No, I did not restore from backup. I restored to factory settings at the Apple Store and when I got home and tried to set up my email, my iPod restarted again. The time reset to ten minutes previous.
I'm mentioning the crash reports because they all correspond to the times my iPod restarted. It has crashed four times in the last hour and all I've done is download two apps (Podcasts and Skype) and added my email accounts.
Thanks very much.

5th gen iPod will not unmount

I have a 5th gen iPod which I use to backup other data files. The iPod setting within iTunes allow for desktop mounting of the iPod. When I attempt to unmount the iPod from the desktop (with iTunes closed) and only the finder (and dashboard) running, I get a message indicating that the iPod cannot be unmounted because it contains files that are still in use. As mentioned above, the only applications running are the Dashboard and Finder. I do have one widget that displayes hard disk usage information, and I have used the Activity Monitor to quit the process just before attempting to unmount the iPod but the unmount status does not change. Is there something else that I should be disabling before attempting to unmount the iPod?
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) iPod 5th gen, iPod nano

I can't really explain why but sometimes it happens, to mine too, normally if you try unmounting again it should unmount, if not, the next time you have your iPod mounted on your desktop, do a Repair Permission from Disk Utility (Repair Permission on your main HD, not your iPod)
After that restart again, your problem should go away.
Cheers

5th Gen iPod Video not syncing all video podcasts

My 5th Gen iPod video is not syncing all of my video podcasts.
I did specify in the settings to sync all videos, but for some reason it only places 3 of each on the iPod. This is using the latest version of iTunes, OS X 10.4.8, and iPod up-to-date.
This did work fine with the previous version of iTunes and only seemed to happen since the "upgrade".
I've tried restoring the ipod - didn't work
Reinstalled iTunes - didn't work
Rebooted system - didn't work
Undocked/Redocked iPod - didn't work
Please Help.

Assuming you're running iTunes 7, connect the iPod and wait for it to appear in the iTunes source list. When it does, click on it, and click on the 'podcast' tab. Make sure it is set to sync all podcasts. Check the 'video' tab as well.
iTunes 7 included several new options for setting just how the iPod will update in iTunes. So, it's a good idea to go through them and make sure they're set exactly how you'd like them to be.
Hope this helps

5th gen Ipod not playing in any docking station

I have a 6th generation ipod classic that works great in my pioneer receiver and in both cars. I bought a 5th gen ipod on ebay for my wife and it seems to work just fine.
I restored it using itunes, then put synced songs to it. Everything works fine when it's connected to Windows but it won't play in any docking station. It gets a charge from the station, but won't play.
Does the 5th gen ipod not work in docking stations or is it possible mine isn't functioning right. I contacted the manufacturer of the station in one of the cars and they said all ipods should work.

I have the same problem with a Pioneer X-HM50-K hifi system. My 5th gen ipod (system 1.3 which up-to-date iTunes claims is up-to-date, tried resetting/restoring/all that), when plugged into the docking bay, pauses the music and shows a tick mark after a while with the text "ok to disconnect" beneath it. The tick mark becomes a Pioneer logo after a while but that does not change the fact that the ipod does not react, neither to the command buttons on the Pioneer system (or on the remote control) nor to the buttons on the iPod itself (those do 'click', but have no effect). It does get charged, but doesn't play, just as in the top posting.
A friend's iPod nano works just fine on the Pioneer, and my iPod works fine for everything else (headphones, iTunes, other docking systems I tried at friends', ...). So there seems to be a specific incompatibility with Pioneer systems.
How can this problem be investigated and solved ?

5th gen ipod is connected and seen on itunes yet will not sync

My 5th gen ipod-nano is connected - visual and accessible on new version of itunes (using PC, running Win 7) yet will not sync. This only started happening after the last update from apple and I have spent HOURS trying to figure out how to fix including removing all apple apps and software and reinstalling 6 times now!!! Even when a diagnoses is run it shows my ipod is connected yet when I try to sync.. it tells me that disk is not found?

Well, nothing has worked yet. Same Itunes account. When I try to download from the App Store app on the touch, I downloads all the way to the end of the loading... installing phases. then says, "Unable to Downlad Application: app will be available for download when you log in to the Itunes Store on your computer."
But Itunes on the computer will do the same thing... load it all the way up, then give an error code of OxE8003FFE.
I tried restoring the Ipod, so now it only has the factory apps, music, videos, and no apps. And I can't add even one app.
