Why is the repeat button close to the shuffle on the 5th generation iPod touch?

I'm asking because on the previous generations it was different how you could repeat and shuffle songs. Why did Apple change it?

Apple has not said why, the very seldom do.

  • 5th generation iPod Touch speaker is not working with music and apps, but the alarm sound goes off fine. Why?

    I have a 5th generation iPod Touch and it got a small amount of water in it around the speaker. When I tried to see if my music would play through it, it couldn't. But, when I tried my alarm to make sure I could still hear it, you could. The sound was fine from the alarm, not as loud as it used to be but I could still hear it. Why doesn't the sound work with my music and apps? Also, would I be able to exchange it if I have a warranty?

    Try:
    - 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.

  • What is the provisioning feature in the settings under, general profile? It says something about "provisioning". What does that mean and what does it do?? (It's on my 5th generation iPod touch, black, iOS 6.1.3

    What is the provisioning feature in the settings under, general>profile? It says something about "provisioning". What does that mean and what does it do?? (It's on my 5th generation iPod touch, black, iOS 6.1.3

    A profile is used on iOS device to add specific settings and similar things to an iOS device.  Tryically, they are added when the iOS devices is controlled by a company or school.
    However, some apps install a profile. If your iPod is not controlled by a company or school then it seems an app added the profile. You can good the title if the profile and see if that gives any info.

  • When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch

    When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch?

    Nobody knows (except for apple of course). All it says on the ipod touch page that it ships in October so it could be any date. I predict that it is in the first two weeks of October but when it says buy it now instead of pre-order you know its about to come out.

    Try restoring to factory settings (not from backup) and redownloading your content.

  • Should i buy the 4th or 5th generation ipod touch?

    I got my husband the 4th generation iPod Touch but now thinking should i get the new 5th generation one. Is the 4th generation a good one?

    But the 5G is better. Better cameras, Siri, better processor. I would go for the 5G.

  • HT1349 My daughter received a 5th generation iPod touch but it doesn't have a camera on the back side. Just the front does anyone know why? Thx

    Any help on iPod 5th with no camera on back side just the front.
    Thx

    We had the same problem - the packaging all says 5th generation and it fits the specs on the website for the 16GB. Nowhere in the website does it say that the lower GB model does not include the rear camera. My daughter had already gotten all of her music loaded up before we figure this out. Very disappointing for us as well!

  • I have a 5th generation IPod touch, and today when i turned it on everything was fine. Then suddenly the screen froze and changed colors and lines started coming from the sides of the Ipod until the reached the middle. Now it won't turn back on.

    I tried restarting it by using just the power on button at first. Once that failed I held the power and home buttom for ten sconds and that didn't work. I then plugged in the ipod to see if it needed charged, and repeated the same two steps at before but to no avail. Finally, I opened up itunes and plugged my ipod in, but nothing came up. I then tried to turn it on for a third time, but nothing happened. I just confused on what happened. Could it be a bad display, or did the whole thing just die on me? Help please.  

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My 5th generation iPod touch is not loading music copied from cd's.  Restore only temporarily works and backup erased them from the iPod (with tech support watching).

    I have had my iPod touch for only 3 weeks and it keeps removing the audio files from cd's that I have ripped to my iTunes library whenever I sync it to my computer.  I don't have an issue with purchased material through iTunes just music files from my cd's.
    I am frustrated and here is why:
    First issue I had was the day it was purchased.  That was fixed with help from tech support. I had to restore it to the factory settings and it downloaded all the music just fine.  However...
    A week later I purchased some songs on iTunes and proceeded to sync my iPod to get the new songs on it.  Well, a great purge began of the cd files for the first time.  I had to again restore the iPod to factory settings, go through the whole process of setting up again, and it downloaded all my music. Another week goes by.....
    I go to listen to my iPod yesterday at the gym and all the cd files are gone again.  I haven't synced it in a week and I don't have it set to sync over the WiFi.  But, amazingly and miraculously, the 3 songs I purchased appeared on the iPod without syncing at all. Strange, so I go online to chat with support and:
    He says to restore the settings.  I told him I was going to have to do it for a 3rd time in 3 weeks for the same issue? So we try doing a backup.
    The backup didn't work and he got to watch on my screen the audio files listed as being on my iPod (all songs show but only purchase play mind you) go from the total to just the total of the one's purchased.  I get an "oh my."
    I am then told to uninstall iTunes and all related Apple software and that should fix it.  If not I should contact them again.
    Well, that didn't work so after work it's again having them attempt to help me "fix" my issue.  This has to be a software issue with iTunes. 
    This is a ridiculous issue and shouldn't be so hard to fix.
    Who can tell me how to fix this properly so I don't have to reset my iPod every few days or week if I buy something?

    Try DFU mode and then restore               
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    If still problem try on a another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem.
    The take action accordingly. If iPod then get Apple to exchange it at no cost.

  • I have a 5th generation iPod touch that is suddenly "unable to connect to the server", not entirely sure what this means but I'm unable to connect to the internet even though I'm connected to Wifi. Can't connect to iTunes on my pc either. Any input?

    I have a 16GB iPod touch that suddenly stopped connecting to the internet last night. Everytime I try to get mail, or access anything with Safari I get a message saying that it can't connect to the server. Also I've plugged it in to my home computer but it won't connect to iTunes either. I haven't updated to iOS8 yet as I didn't have enough space for it and I had planned on deleting all my music files, updating the software and putting whatever music I could fit back on to the device afterward, but now I'm hesitant to do that as I have no way to get any of the files back onto the device. Could this be because I haven't updated to iOS8 yet? I've been having other problems such as apps crashing unexpectedly lately as well, for example my music shuts off randomly and apps such as Twitter and Tumblr and a few others crash on launch. I'm definitely not a genius when it comes to technology by any means, so I have no idea what's causing this problem or how to fix it, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    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.

  • My 5th generation ipod touch won't let me preview music in the itunes store

    I can download music just fine; but I can't preview the music BEFORE I buy. Does anybody know why this? I have downloaded ios 7.
    Thank you!

    Also, when I go on to safari, another alert pops up that safari cannot verify the identity of the website, anything that I type in to as common as google.com. It gives me 3 options to either cancel, look at details, and continue. I've looked at the details of the website of Google and it is legitimate the site. Any help?

  • How can I sync a tv show without having to sync the whole library from a different computer?(For 5th generation ipod)

    So I have a 5th generation nano, and I want to put a tv show on it from my friends computer. (I'm able to put songs on my ipod) But everytime I drag it to my library it says: it was not copied because you are not autorized on this computer.
    so when i try to do it manually it says I can do it but i have to erase everything I have and sync whats on her computer to my ipod. How can I just get this **** tv show onto my ipod??? is there a way?

    Is this a TV show you purchased with your own iTunes account or your friend iTunes store account?  If it was your own account, simply authorize your purchased content on your friend's computer.  To do this, head to the Store drop down menu in iTunes and choose Authorize This Computer.  Then enter in your iTunes store credentials and then try resyncing the TV Show to your iPod.
