how do you know what generation iPod you have??? :embarrased:

 

 

I am just curious... it doesn't say so on the box... :(

Hmmm......I think the differnt generations just change with design

Best thing to do is look on the website, And look on the box when your Ipod was made and see if you can work it out

:rolleyes: its not on the box or the site!!! :P

 

Here's what I gathered.. my last one was a gen 4 20gb ... and I only discovered that because it said so on the service agreement.. lol but now I have a color screen iPod.. same gb... but is it gen 5??? :huh:

I think so

The Ipod Photo (Or Colour Screen ones) are 5 from what I can remember, I don't think there are 6th ones yet

so what are nano's????

Oh, They'd be the 6th then :P

:lol: :P

Open up iPod updater, plug your iPod in, and try to update it. If you can't, then you have the latest (which it will label on the screen.)

 

As for generations, The first gen had the clickwheel and the four buttons on the top

 

Second gen looked like it but was a little different can't remember the difference.

 

Third gen was basically the iPod we have now

 

Fourth gen is clickwheel.

generation?

well I have the click wheel.. and a color screen... does this make it 5th?

I think Apple has pretty much lost sight of what generations their iPods are :D . The new video iPod is definitely a 5th generation, so that might go with the color one. As for iPod nanos, I believe thats 3rd generation iPod mini, but I could be wrong.

Fourth. There is no 5th gen as of late, and colour screen doesn't affect anything, except meaning that it's fourth gen.

my ipod just stopped working one day for no apparent reason (didn't fall or anything, battery is in there charged and everything)... do you have any idea what could've happened?

Well... You are slightly mistaken. The first generation iPod came out in like 2002. It was big, clunky, had tacktile buttons and a physical scroll wheel. The second gen was virtually the same designwise, but had a touch-sensitive scroll pad. The 3rd generation iPod can a touch-sensitive wheel and the four buttons on the top. Then came the 4th generation iPod with the clickwheel and grayscale screen. The iPod Photo (with the color screen) is actually its own line of iPods so its the 1st gen iPod Photo. Then the grayscale 4th gen. iPods were given color screens, but they are still 4th generation. And as of recently they cam out with a 5th generation video-playing iPod. The minis and nanos are also their own line of iPods.

 

There's a brief summary of iPod history for you! Hope that helps!

Did you have the "hold" button on when you tried turning it on or charging?? :huh:

I hope that for their sake nobody would be that stupid.

 

For the person who said that theirs stopped working, you most likely dropped it. iPods don't just stop working.

 

Your battery could also need replacing.

My iPod just stopped working, Luigio

 

Mine, for instance (I've had it since early August 05) suddenly won't connect to my PC or laptop, and this means I can't put any new music on.

 

It connects to the computer and shows the "Do not disconnect" thing but it doesn't show up in my desktop (My Computer) or iTunes.

 

It still played music, until last night where I turned it on and all of a sudden there was nothing on it. Can anyone explain that?

 

Apparenly many people are having the can't connect problem, and a few have said recently that their iPods have stopped working with the new update Apple released.

 

 

Also, Apple customer service is the worst I've ever experienced. And if you're thinking of buying an iPod. DON'T!!!. Seriously.. Buy a Creative or something. Apple is ridiculous.
