Why is the ipod 5th gen wifi antenna exposed

I was wondering why they decided to expose the wifi antenna again on the 5th generation iPod after having the antenna "hidden" on the 4th gen? Does it make the Wifi better, stronger etc.

The antenna is located on top left and is not exposed (see step 11)

  • Why doesnt the ipod 5th gen have battery percentage?

    Can someone tell me why the Ipod touch 5th generation doesnt have the battery percentage icon?
    I've always wondered why the 5th gen Ipod touch doesnt have battery percentage. They should have it, its long overdue.

    See:
    [How To] Enable the Battery Percentage with iBackupBot | iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch forums | iFans
    However, % battery is not accurate on the iPod and some users have reported increased battery drain.

  • Why is the ipod 5th gen microphone on the back of the device?

    i Am just wondering why the microphone is on the back of the ipod 5 when if you use it, you usually have the screen facing you.

    Because it will better receive sound when you take videos with the back camera. The 5G without the back camera had the mic on the front

  • I have the iPod 5th gen. and my iPod wont connect to my wifi. I've tried everything. I reset my wifi networks and it still wont work. What do i do???

    I have the iPod 5th gen. and my iPod wont connect to my wifi. I've tried everything. i rest my wifi networks and it still wont work. What do I do??

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    For the future, saying you tried everything provides use with zero info as to what you did try. If you really tried everything then there is no way we could help

  • My iPod dispalys this message: "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore."  When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it.  The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?

    "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore."  When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it.  The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?
    I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore).  Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data. 
    I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC?  Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
    To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • 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,
    Steve

  • Why is my iPod 5th gen

    why is my iPod touch 5th gen speaker sound staticy

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen Wifi Fine... but never at home :(

    I own a 2 year old iPod 5th Gen wifi only. Since the 8.1.3 IOS update it will fail to connect with all but the newest and most up-to-date wifi routers. While traveling for my winter in Mexico I was unable to wifi connect at over 20 hotels and hotspots. Now that I am at home I see that it IS able to connect at the Apple Store's wifi, and also at Starbucks and some of my friends routers that apparently are newer than 5 years old. At my home I have a NETGEAR Wireless-N 300 router, purchased February 2010. I went to the Apple Genius people today and followed their sound advice and upgraded the firmware in my NETGEAR Wireless-N 300 router. I have tweaked and fiddled with almost everything I can imagine... but still never connects. The error this iPod gets here is the same it has given me since January when I said "yes" to the IOS update... "Incorrect Password, Cannot Connect". The ipod "see" every wifi router... just never gets past the password.
    PLEASE!! Do I really have to go out and spend money on a new router just because ONE simple device, out of the 8 in our home (none Apple) will not connect?
    I did:
    Update Firmware on NETGEAR Wireless-N 300 router.
    Reset All Network Settings on iPod
    Reset All Data in iPod
    Rebooted: Cable Modem, Wifi Router, iPod Touch
    Tested with WEP as well as NONE under Netgear Security Options ... no help, so returned to WPA2-PSK [AES]
    Maybe it's MAC ADDRESS related?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • 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.
