  • Connecting the Fifth Generation iPod to Windows

    Seems many have this problem:
    I have the 5th generation 30gb ipod classic, but my system doesn't recognize it nor reads my device in itunes...
    ODDS:
    ports are 2.0 greater! Reinstalled itunes! tried eveything with apple support- seriously! Cable is fine!
    Note:
    ipod will charge---when in mode it will show can disconnect, but will not show do not disconnect
    All the ports are updated and function properly
    ** Apple mobile device shows as started with "services" file- through administrative tools 'under control panel'
    *Apple mobile device does not show through device manager...
    There is no mass USB, no apple USB, no other usb in device manager

    Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

    Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Loading videos and movies onto the fifth generation ipod

    I would like to load my ipod with movies and other videos. These videos are already stored on my computer's hard disk. Have you got any suggestions?

    Yeah... Your best bet is that the videos you are trying to import are in a format unrecognized by iTunes, since iTunes uses QuickTime to play video media you will have to convert your video so it will be recognized by quick time..http://www.apple.com/quicktime/player/specs.html (see specifications at bottom of link page.) After you have converted the videos you should have no problem importing them in to iTunes, with the steps we discussed above.

  • When will it be avaliable for fifth generation ipods?

    I Cant believe this is only for iposd nano, does anybody no when it will be compatable with the fifth generation ipods?

    it would take much more than 1000-2000 signatures. this would cost apple money to write the software and whatnot to get it to work on the other iPods so they're not gonna do for such a small amount of people.
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

  • Does the 5th generation ipod nano have bluetooth capabilities?

    Does the 5th generation ipod nano have blue tooth capabilities?
    Thanks for your help!

    Unfortunately, the fifth generation iPod nano does not have a built-in Bluetooth chip. The seventh generation iPod nano, introduced in fall 2012, is the only iPod nano as of now that does have Bluetooth built-in.

  • I have the 1st generation ipod touch i installed an update which now it is 3.1.3 version i was able to put my apps on it but when i want to use the apps it will not let me use them. what do i need to do?

    I have the 1st generation ipod touch i installed an update which now it is 3.1.3 version i was able to put my apps on it but when i want to use the apps it will not let me use them. What do i need to do?

    Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
    Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
    Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps?  You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
    Next would be to restore from backup
    Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • What exactly are the updates good for on an ipod

    I ask because mine is windows format, and im having trouble transferring all the metadata off my ipod with senuti to a back up so that i can reformat the ipod to mac and then sync in my senuti backed up library. I was wondering if anyone knows what exactly are the updates that you get. my ipod is 1.2 5thgen.
    If i were to have the latest update would i be able to see album cover art view when the ipod is plugged into itunes? I noticed that i can see that view in library mode but not in ipod mode. (my pod isnt synced)...
    so what are these updates good for?

    hey thanks for your reply.
    I do have it set to manual and i can see the art on the ipod by itself, but even with manual transfer itunes wont let me view the artwork modes unless i am playing off my computers library (which doesn't have the songs on my ipod on it). I called apple earlier today and some tech support guy claimed that itunes does not support this feature. Is this correct? can anyone out there see artwork modes on an unsynced ipod through itunes?

  • Is it possible to just simply sync videos to Fifth generation ipod?

    First of all I am new with the ipod, and I am not familiar with this certain issues regarding videos on the ipod"
    My question is that do you have to watch videos or TV shows that you download on itunes? Or can you just simply automatically sync the video or TV show to your Fifth Generation ipod without viewing the content my itunes librairy?
    Thank who all that can help me.

    I guss I'm not being clear, but here it goes again....
    I click buy on the iTunes Store
    It asks for my user name and password
    Then it downloads my vid or what not
    Then I sync my iPod
    As far as I knew this was standered practice, in other words if you aready have on the computer you bought it on then you don't need to authorize it again unless you trasfer it to another computer.
    Right?!?!
    P.S. assuming you agree with me and every one else that buys from iTunes then yes you did say you need to authorize media twice.
    The bottom line is that you must authorize your computer in order to transfer purchased videos and music to the iPod.
    To do this you need to play a part of the video on your computer. It need only be a few seconds of it.
    You can authorize up to 5 different computers.
    If you cannot play any purchased videos on a computer, you cannot authorize it.
    Authorize when you buy it then as above play it on your computer to authorize it!!!!

  • Applications crashing on fifth generation iPod Touch?

    Hello everyone.  I have a fifth generation iPod Touch that I got last month and every time I use some of the applications, they end up crashing on me, almost every time.  The Weather Channel is one of the programs that frequently crashes.  Why is it doing this?  I have also checked for an operating system update for the device and there is not one.  What could be the problem?

    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.

  • What is considered a fifth generation I-Pod?

    What models are considered fifth generation?

    The main difference a Fifth Generation iPod has from the other iPod models is that it is the only one that has the ability to play videos.
    Also, it is the most recent iPod in the "Main Generation iPods" as you might call them.
    There are actually two sort of sub-Fifth Generation models.
    The first one came out on October 12, 2005.
    Then, recently, one came out in September 12, 2006.
    There are a few differences, like longer battery life, now an 80GB model replaced the 60GB, etc.
    This more recent iPod is called the "(Late 2006) Fifth Generation iPod".
    Here is a picture of it (the latest one):
    But generally speaking, these two versions of the Fifth Gen can be considered as the same type of group together.

  • Transfer files from 10.2.8 to Windows fifth generation ipod

    Can anyone tell me how to get my music and photos from my ibook 10.2.8 onto my new fifth generation ipod that is formatted for windows? And from there, get it to my pc?
    Thanks

    Your iPod will have to be formatted to Windows throughout the entire process. What you'll have to do is put your music on your iPod via your Mac. Then, connect it your PC, and use either one of the following programs to rip files from your iPod...
    PodUtil
    YamiPod
    Both will rip files from your iPod, and place them in a specified folder on your computer.

  • Why isn't the new iOS4 update compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch

    It makes me extremely angry that i have wanted what the new update contains ever since i got my ipod and now I can't have it because whoever made the update didn't make it compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch. Ig someone could give me a good reason as to why this happened that would be much appreciated.

    Doesn't have the needed hardware in particular not enough RAM.

  • Why doesn't my fifth generation ipod nano work with my Toyota Yaris?

    Hello – The charging feature on my new fifth generation ipod nano doesn’t work with the factory glove compartment adapter that came with my 2008 Toyota Yaris. It plays music, etc but does not charge the ipod when connected.
    My third generation nano charged perfectly with my yaris until it was run over and crushed recently. My nano gen 5 replacement doesn’t work the same with my Yaris. Can anyone help?

    I cannot say for sure, I don't know anything about the toyota yaris. However, if that system was built to work with older firewire based iPods, then it will not charge new USB based units. There are converters out there you can get do deal with this.
