Why do the iPod headphones not have a pause button? Ridiculous.

Doesn't this diminish functionality for the sake of marginal profit for Apple?

Same as the 4G iPod. Both the 4G and 5G iPods have built-in mics and Apple did not provide earphones with mic or remote.

  • I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    One likely reason is the % battery is not that accurate because of the smaller battery capacity in the iPod compared to iPhone and iPad. Users why use a % battery app post that the % reading changes a lot.

  • Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

    I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

    It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

    Does it even really matter...?
    Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
    Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

    kinda frustrated how the ipod 4g doesnt have ios 7.

    iOS 7 apparently requires at least 512MB of RAM. The fourth generation iPod touch only has 256MB, and therefore won't get it.

    I've always wondered why the 5th gen Ipod touch doesnt have battery percentage. They should have it, its long overdue.

    I'm positive I was using the Netflix app on the iPhone and ps3, when it stopped working I tried looking it up, and ran into these website: http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/25/netflix-ios-android-ps3-second-screen-remote- control/
    http://m.tuaw.com/2012/09/26/netflix-for-ios-has-second-screen-remote-control-fo r-ps3/
    I read the two apps are able to connect because they are under the same wi-fi connection, but I haven't changed wireless modems, or any settings on the iPhone and ps3!

  • Why does the new version not have back-up disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Why does the new version of i-tunes not have back-up to disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Fast backup for iTunes library  (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy  2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
    If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.
    Step-by-step guide to using SyncToy.

  • Why do the sidebar icons not have colors, etc?

    Why do the sidebar icons with Lion not have colors, etc? I customized my icons so I can quickly recognize folders. This is a very significant loss as far as I am concerned. Any solutions or news about rectifying this?

    All anyone here can say is "because that's what Apple decided". Whether this will ever change we can't say, being just your fellow users in these forums. You can comment to Apple via their feedback page, if you wish:

  • Why is the ipod nano not recognized on my computer in order to sync songs from m music library?

    I need help. I was able to put songs on the ipod nano from songs that i bought from itunes... but how can i put songs on the nano from my music library already on my computer. I have tried dragging the songs to the folder.  I have tried copying songs to the itunes cloud but the nano does not show the songs. How do i put songs on the nano that are from my cds? When I try to sync the songs, the nano is not recognized.

    When I try to sync the songs, the nano is not recognized.
    Is it saying "An iPod has been detected but could not be identified properly"? Or is something a bit different going on?

  • Why does the Apple TV not have Volume Control?

    I mean. I get it. I searched the forums.
    But, WHY?!!!
    It's so stupidly frustrating. I use my new apple tv with my older stereo as sound, no remote for that. Movies and TV Shows wildly vary their volumes and it's always handy to turn the volume up and down at a moment's notice.
    Soundcheck doesn't remedy this problem.
    It's such an incredibly stupid oversight it's windows-esque.
    Are there any workarounds (I'm referring to using the Apple TV to watch HBO, Netflix etc.)?
    Thanks. Vent if you need. Whatever.

    James, it IS needed. I need it.
    I mean the point is taken, but it is absolutely silly to not give users the control over something as substantial as volume.
    When you watch a video on youtube, on your laptop or whatever, there is a volume slider. What a concept! So that your source can stay where it's at and you can make changes in the audio level of whatever you happen to be watching, be it netflix (oh look, another volume slider!) or youtube or whatever.
    I guess, just to be clear, that is how I would implement it, and that is what I was surprised was gone.
    Another Apple product that connects to varying audio inputs is Airport Express. When you want to turn a particular track up or down, you have the option to use the volume buttons on your phone. I mean... I can't be the only person who sees this feature being missing as so absurd. It's so obvious... to me
