Why no FM tuner for the iPod Classic?

Hi
I've been considering making the big conversion from PC to Mac for a while now (heard good things from my sister and suffered through Vista for 4 years) BUT my conversion hinges upon my music collection which is currently 18gb (and the majority of it transferred from my CD collection). Therefore I'm only thinking of an iPod Classic. My current mp3 player (Creative 30gb dino that's not compatible with Windows 7) has an FM tuner which is essential. The iPod Classic does not.
Why doesn't the iPod Classic have a built-in FM tuner like those miniscule you'll-lose-it-in-the-wash iPod Nanos? Are they just trying to keep the Classic classic? Would putting the FM tuner in a Classic not fit, even though it fits in 16gb Nanos?
I won't ask if they're going to put in one because that's speculation and from what I've read violates the terms of questions one can ask here.

You might still be able to find Apple's iPod FM Radio Remote accessory, or a third party alternative.

I need a Metronome for the iPod Classic

Hi all,
I own an iPod Classic 6.5 G and as an musician i would love the iPod being capable of helping improving my skills and tempo feeling with a simple metronome.
The click in mp3 format is, for me, a very incomplete solution, and I really don't understand why Apple is not developing such a little piece of code, that nowadays is included in every crappy cell phone.
As an iPod Classic costumer i feel a bit abandoned, just seeing how many nice apps are developed for ipod touch/iphone and how poor is the offer for the ipod classic.
A small effort for a huge community of thankful musicians.
Regards

Huh. I've never seen a metronome on a standard cell phone.

For the iPod Classic, in settings, how does the volume limit work? After setting a limit, how to re-set to a new volume limit?

This thread - with a quote from an LR4 Beta thread - says that all 6 central Basic controls in PV2012 (Exposure thru Blacks) are now image-adaptive, as were Recovery, Fill Light, and Clarity in previous versions:

Whether they are suitable for creating a Timelapse sequence without significant flicker is entirely subjective and up to you - and of course, dependant on your specific images & how they change over time. Sorry, not much advice beyond try PV2012, and revert back to PV2010 if you get too much flicker.

Is there a protective casing still available for the ipod classic?

Hello, I am searching for a version of the ipod for my autistic brother as a replacement for his portable CD player. I was thinking of going with the ipod classic, as the buttons may be less confusing for him than a touch screen. My largest concern is the possibility of him dropping the ipod. He is 6 foot, and has no recent history of dropping his CD player, but that is still a concern. Is a protective case for the ipod classic still available? Any other suggestions as to what would be good for him? Thanks

Sorry, but there is not. There may be for the iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad though.

Is it necessary to buy a case for the iPod Classic?

Ok...
I just got an iPod Classic 160gb. I have had numerous iPods in the past, and i have not used a case on any of them.
Is the iPod Classic different, does it need a protective case to help protect the hdd.
The back scratches easily, i know.
Can anyone recommend a case?

Nothing has to have a case, but a case is always something that provides more safety. Remember that a case won't always save the iPod and doesn't promise it to always work. I always use a case because the back does scratch so easily and I like to keep my products looking new.
I bought an 80GB classic and put it in a case immediately. Two years later and it still looks amazing when i take it out of the case.
I don't have a case recommendation, but try to look for something that won't inhibit the iPod from pluggin into a docking station because the case wrapping around the bottom. I had a case that did that and it was a hassle to take the case off just to dock it at a friend's house so that we could all listen to some fun tunes.

Why is it that Apple no longer offers games for the ipod classic?

I just purchased an ipod classic and i just realized that I can't find any games for download on itunes. I also have an ipod nano and I know that Apple used to offer games for ipods other than the touch. Now they act like the touch is the only ipod that exists. I'm starting to think i should just return the ipod and go with a different brand of Mp3. My family has been telling me to get a Cowon and now I'm starting to wish i'd listened.
Thanks a lot Apple. You might be getting this product back.

Why not improve the iPod Classic?

Why do not improve the iPod Classic from the point of view of speed? The would be enough to put a chip designed specifically for the iPod Classic or an A5 chip that expedite both the iPod. Just a little, and you could even do that more subtle. do something

Since all of us here are only end users like yourself, nobody here would know of such information. Only Apple knows and according to the terms of use of these forums, we are not allowed to speculate. Sorry.

How do I find games for my ipod classic 5th gen in the itunes store? Or do they not sell them anymore?

I have looked all over but can't find any games for my ipod. Some older questions from 2010 say that it's under the apps list. Well it's not there anymore. I'm starting to think they don't sell the games anymore. I would love it if somone could tell me for sure, or how to find them. Thank you.

Hi
I have been looking also for games for the ipod classic. You would have thought they would still them since they still sell the ipod classic.
Apple need to update the help guide as it still states how to look for games

Why Can't I Update My Ipod Classic to 2.0.5

Dear Apple
I have heard that there is a 2.0.5 version for the IPod Classic but when i go to itunes and click on check for updates
it says 2.0.4 is the latest version why can't i update my ipod classic is there a problem please help me beacuse i dont
understand it Thank You.

I am posting here in case someone can enlighten me.
My wife recently acquired an iPod classic 160 GB (MC297 – 2.0.4) and because of the volume cap imposed by EU, this it is not enough for me. I want to buy one too but with firmware 2.0.5 were I can chose to remove the EU volume cap.
The problem is, not only Apple doesn’t let you upgrade 2.0.4 to 2.0.5 but they also do not print on the box what firmware comes with the iPod that’s inside.
Also, most shops will not just unsealed the iPod for you to confirm what firmware are you “buying”.
I have been into a shop with an iPod on firmware 2.0.5 on display and the serial was 8K….ZU which by doing a search on Apple’s website, it was made late 2009. My wife’s iPod serial number starts and finishes with the exact number/letters, thus also being “late 2009” but with 2.0.4 firmware.
In other words, while I am aiming to get an iPod with the 2.0.5 firmware, it seems virtually impossible to be absolutely sure what are you getting inside the box.
Does anyone know what serial numbers are comprised the iPods with 2.0.5 firmware.
Also, the model of my wife’s iPod 2.0.4 is MC 297 QL/A. Does anyone knows what the “QL/A” stands for? I seems to remember that the iPod on firmware 2.0.5 being a QL/C but in can’t remember for sure.
Any help would be appreciated.

You cannot buy games for the iPod Classic.

Why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

I have a similar problem. Originally, my iTunes advanced setting was set such that a shortcut to the song was copied into my music library so sometimes copying songs to my iPod resulted in them being grayed out. I changed that setting some time ago and haven't had the problem until recently.
I don't know what to do. here's the situation:
     1. I have a song that is stored on my file system within My Documents. (it was purchased via Amazon)
     2. Through iTunes I choose the File | Import file to library (or some text like that)
     3. I navigate to the location of the song
     4. I import it.
     5. I can play the tune from the music library or from an internal PC playlist.
     6. I then attempt to copy the song to my iPod. When I do, it appears in the iPod's playlist grayed out.
I have done those steps countless times for dozens of songs without a problem. Even others that I've purchased through Amazon. What is so different this time? I should mention that this problem NEVER happens if I buy the song through the iTunes store. Only if I buy it from another source (e.g. Amazon). WHY ???

Why is the iPod classic so slow?

I was playing with the iPod classic at the Apple store and it ran slow. The iPod touch runs fast. My old iPod video (5th gen) runs slow. Why doesn't the iPod classic run as fast as the iPod touch or not any faster than my old iPod video? I thought Apple cared about a fast easy user experience like on their iPhone. Don't people complain about Android phones running slow? The iPod classic is so sluggish it's annoying. Why do they want their iPod classics to run slower than an old Zune?

Well, it could just be that the processor in the Classic doesn't like the particular video you were using, although I did base my answer on your first post, which said I was playing with the iPod classic at the Apple store... . As far as I know, in-store demo videos are not included on purchased iPods. So your decision to purchase was presumably based on your tests of it in-store.
It's still a matter of "you makes your choice - you pays your money".
My choice was to stick with my 160GB Classic for it's capacity, but to buy an iPod Touch in addition, for it's other abilities (including widescreen for videos, compared to the Classic). I realise that's not an affordable option for many people. But it was my solution.
Maybe that's why Apple provide choices.

Why won't the iPod Classic 160GB charge with the iPad charger?

I found out the hard way that the iPad's 10w charger which works on my iPad-1 and on my iPhone 4s and on my iPod Touch *does not* work/provide a charge to my 2nd gen iPod Classic.
I had gone to Europe with a full charge on all of my devices, and on the long flight I used both the iPad and the iPod. Once in Spain, I left the iPod in the hotel safe; the phone and iPad were used throughout my vacation, receiving a charge every day via the 10w charger and European duckhead. The night before I left, I plugged in the iPod, knowing that I would need it for the return flight. Imagine my surprise the next day at the airport when I discovered that the iPod was practically dead. Before boarding, I verified that the charger itself (with the European connector) was still working on both the iPad and iPhone, and it was; but as soon as I connected it to the iPod...nothing.
When I eventually got home to the States, I sat down with both the 10w charger and two or three of the many other USB chargers I have accumulated over the years. With the exception of my ancient firewire connector, every single one will charge every single device-----except for the 10w charging the iPod Classic. The iPad will even get a charge from the non-10w charger; it just takes a very long time to get back to 100%. If I could find my 3rd gen Nano, I would try that, but I'm not sure where it is.
What gives here? Why won't the 10w charger work on the iPod Classic??

I finally got curious enough to get a young person's eyes to read the stuff on the bottom of my iPad Mini charger: 5v 1a which equates to 5W using Ohm's law P=IE (E=IR).
So that beng the max charging rate of a normal USB 2.0 port explains (derived from above posts by Bilbo_cheshire and CMJRoss) why that iPad charger does work when some of the larger iPad chargers do not work with the iPod. The current is limited so it does not cause the iPod to sqeal .
