Ipod Nano 5th Generation Issues
5th Generation Ipod!
I have recently purchased an Ipod Nano 5th generation 16Gb and have used it for approximately 30 days. Today while running the music (song) that was playing started going really slow... I turned it off, then reset it with the hold button and tried turning it back on and continued my run but it started doing the same thing but worse the song lyrics almost had an echo effect to them with the tempo being very slow (not I don't use drugs so no im... read more.
The neew ipod. I think that the ipod is a good invention but what is the point in making it so that you can watch vidio's. Someones bound to get run over watching a vidio because they wont be looking where there going so they will walk on to the road and get run over. Im perrfectly happy with my mp3 even though the other day i cracked the screen on it so i cant really see anything but its still working. But you know the little clicker thing on them that allows you to change the songs and move around, well thats kind of broke because most of the time it dosen't work. And i did the same with my dads mp3 and i cracked the screen, but for christmas ive got my dad an mp3 so it should be ok now. Even though his old one was 500 and summat mb ive got him an 128mb so thats a bit of a problem. But ny way back to the subject of the 5th generation ipod!! So who else out there would get this or not get it. I wouldnt get it because i dont want it.
Well, As You Know I Haven't Heard Any Soild Things On This. It Would Cost Alot To Put Moives On A IPod From ITunes. Even If You Were Willing To Pay For It, It would Take For Ever To DownLoad To Your Computer Than To Your IPod. So I Really Don't Think They Well BeComing Out With This Inless They Can Find A Way To Compress The Moive Files To Fit On A Ipod. I Know Ipods Can Hold Like 8 GB Of Space, Still Thats What Two Moives And No Music. As Of Now I Believe The Nao Is The Best IPod Out And I Am Looking Forword To Buying It Seeing As It Has 4 GB Of Space. Thats Almost 4 Times The Space Your Dad Had, So The Etra Moneys Pays Off. Also I Know You Can Put Images On Your IPod.... As Of Now If YoU Want Moives, Games And MP3s Get A Sony PSP. Has All Because It Runs Disk Not On A HardDrive For Moives.
Well This IS My Side O The Story See Yeah!

well... the psp is great for that sort of thing... but if ur a HUGE music person like i am... 128 megs in NO WHERE CLOSE to what i need... id like 40 gigs for my music and movies... the ipod is cool because of its look, storage capabiltiy and small size, and especially that scroll touchwheel thing... thatd be the only thing thatd make me choose the ipod over anything else... but as for videos... the original ipod could play videos if u got the hack for it... but the problem is still... the cost of these things... if u can put a normal movie or whatever on the new ipod (convert from avi/wmv to the itunes format... thatd be pretty cool but there is something better for this... im not sure what the new ipod looks like... if its the same or not but there is something that has good storage and a NICE screen... i forget what its called but itll run u about $500... but if u have the $$... its worth it if ur a media freak and u travel... so... how much does the new ipod cost? thats the only disadvantage to the ipod other than the stupid copy protected itunes... I HATE IT! they will never stop piracy.. they might as well stop trying... and i hate anything that makes a new format for something when it doesnt need to be... thats also y i hate word and would rather use wordpad unless i need to use word for formatting, etc... Y MAKE A NEW FORMAT? ok... thats my rant... lol... but as for the ipod 5... if u have the money and dont hate apple... go for it...
Actually...The speed of the data transfers for the IPod are as fast as can be using USB... It's about 1.5mbps to an IPod. Thats how much I get on my external HDD...So transfering stuff to the IPod shouldn't be a problem...I think it would be pretty cool to have an IPod that shows movies/videos...But I wouldn't really use that future I think. Plus it would use a lot of battery. The IPod's battery life now isn't that good so...That much be a disadvantage
I will not be buying the 5th gen until Apple realizes they were morons for not releasing it with firewire support. All iPods until now have had firewire support, so why does this one not?
Also, for the person who said Nanos are a great value, try thinking through that again. For $50 more you could be buying 30 gigs worth of space. I have a 40 gig Photo and I use it for not only music, but holding documents and program files. You could never do that with a Nano. There just is not enough space.
i think it's nice it can support videos, now but i really don't see a point in it, i mean mac is transforming the iPod in a mini computer or some kind of media computer, it's cool in some way but wasn't the concept of iPod to be a mp3? i mean just music? (im not vs the new video thingie in fact i see it very cool o¬o) but i just hope that they still be making the old models because in this moment i dont want to pay what, 500-700 dlls to get this new model <,< so how much would the older ones would cost now o_Ò?
as someone says, more feature the merrier, I guess Ipod is maximizing the potential of their product so if this is appplicable for someone then it's all good, we'll never know next generation will have cameras on them.
For me I think I have to pass on this, I do have my MP3 player which pretty perform what it is suppose to do, as for storage, my external hard drive will handle that well too
hmm.... im still not sure what to get for an mp3 player. The ipod nano is probly what will convince me to actually purchase an ipod. My brother has a rio and its alot cheaper than all these other mp3 players and its not like you need a 60 gigs worth of songs.
First of all, those of you that say the 5th gen ipod should have firewire support just dont know the facts. When transfering data to an IPod, USB2 is just as quick as firewire as shown by numerous reports. Just google it if you dont believe me.
Secondly, those of you who are saying that video is good but what is the point is that if you travel alot (subways, planes, etc) it is nice and handy to be able to watch a movie or tv show at your convience. It makes trips much easier.

I am tempted to send it back to Apple but don't want to deal with the run around, has anyone else experienced this problem and is so were you able to fix it? Comments appreciated. Thanks,

ORANGE STRIPS ARE DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!
5th Generation Ipod!
SO I'm not sure what exactly is broken, but I know that my battery needs replacing due to the ipod coming apart and somehow the orange strip that is connected to it broke. There is another orange strip that goes from underneath the head phone jack to underneath where the lock button is. The orange strip that is torn here branches off from that and connects to something else that I am not sure. PLEASE help me out with any information you have regarding repair and cost. I REALLY miss my 5th generation ipod, thats only four years old. :( I know its time of use is not yet ready to be over.
I know it's bigger than an ipod and may be slightly heavier but it's still great, and I think cheaper. Also the Zune Social is a great place to hand out.
I never liked the Ipod's cause I bought one, it had hardware failure within 2 weeks. Then I bought a Nano and that basically froze, [software] And the shop couldn't fix it, they offered for it to be sent out. I said yes, when I got it back I sold it on Ebay and then bought a zune. I have had the Zune for nearly 2 years now, and it lasts.
n00bs, the new nano uses flash, it has 8gb standard, although you can get them in 4 or 16. And 4gb is 8 times what their dad had... It was only a 500mb. About the compression issue, there is no issue, movies take up around 400mb for the ipod. The battery life is amazing, lasts a good 24+ hours during playback, and can go over a week on standby with minimum playback. The only issue I've had with it, is taking music off of it in windows vista. The old way was to go to the drive, type ipod_control\music, and pull all of the audio files off... Now that folders empty on a half filled ipod. And vista doesn't show hidden files or folders. And watching movies on it is cool when you're riding passenger in a car.
I have got my hand on a 5th generation Ipod with video as so they call it on .It took me the whole day to figure out how to make it work. It was previously owned and now I got a hold of it. I tried the proposed method of resetting the ipod by pressing the select and Menu button together. That didn't work. Kept flicking back and forth with the Apple logo and a folder with a triangle that had an exclamation point in it. At this point I am a little frustrated because it should've work. I then plug it into the computer through the usb drive and it said to format the thing. So I did and what do you find out?? It didn't work. You can tell that right now I'm pissed. So then I decided to install the Ipod Updater on the Ipod site itself. Found out that didn't work to reset the Ipod to factory settings. Then I found out like an hour later that I had to download iTunes. Gosh. Now the darn thing is working. Gosh why does it have to be so hard to make it work. RIght now i'm just listening to music off of it. Finally! With a little headache in the end, I survived the test of Ipod retardedness.
AFter you figure out how to work it. Its not so bad after all. All you need is patience. I know some people who send it back and get another one. That cost some money. I don't have that money after getting an IPOD. So just work at it and perservere. The transfer of usb is fast. In my opinion it is.
I saw this on the news the other day and it just shoked me to see a robot so human like. Again Sony
shockes the world with new technology. This robot could walk, run, jump, kick a ball, walk up
stairs, dance, and even talk and ask questions. I can't belive this. Here is a link url to a
website where you can see the robot!!

I know that you can get streaming TV on three now, but in a few months, how about having FREEVIEW on
your mobile phone? NOKIA are planning exaclly that, and providing you are in a freeview reception
area (90% ish?) you can watch it on the move. Amazing technology really! Whats your ideas? whats
next on a mobile phone? Satalite Dish ? FULL internet access ? DAB Digital Radio? Who knows!....
hey hi all!...as many of u might know macromedia has released its second version of the flex server
"alpha", i was so happy beacause of the new components and all that stuff... i downloaded my copy of
flex 2 with the new version of the flash player (8.5) and the new classes in ActionScript 3 and when
i compile the help files i couldnt believe that the complete components were not at all quite good
as the previous versions of the flex environment... im one of those users that dont care writing
tons of code to demonstrate the powerful toy inside the understandable and cool....
