Top Questions and Answers
iPod Classic? Hi everyone! Today, I'd like to ask you all a few things about the new iPod Classic. I'm planning to purchase one in September.
If you could talk about one or all of these points, it'd really help me out.
- Does it scratch and mark up easily?
- How is the battery life?
- Do you find it easy to use?
- Is it hard getting the most out of movies when you're watching it on the iPod Classic?
kittycat2011 replied: "It does scratch easliy, but all ipods do
it has up to 8 hrs of life
yeah its really easy to use
i havent put movies on mine yet
if you dont want it to scratch buy a cover for it when you buy it they dont cost that much."
MCR ADDICT replied: "1.No
2.Excellent
3.Yes
4.Sometimes"
calib y replied: "yes it does mark up easily...the battery life is great....sometimes i find it easy to use....yes it is hard getting the most out of movies...i would recommend an ARCHOS it is way better than an ipod...the ipod is not even worth all that the reason u pay so much is cause of that apple logo on the back...you can buy a 160 GB ARCHOS for the same price of a 80 GB ipod...ipod just isnt worth all that money.."
Dave Hates Hilary Clinton replied: "-Yes its scratches pretty quick but not as bad as the older models. Just take care of it.
-For me the battery life is pretty good, but some have conflicting results. I think the whole issue with battery life is a bit overblown.
-Yes it is very easy to use and very easy to put music on it.
-Well the screen is small, but i find that for personal use it has a satisfactory performance."
Guitar Pick replied: "1) All ipods scratch fairly easily so it is recommended that you purchase a protective case. I suggest you get a case that is not from the company apple because it will be cheaper that way.
2) according to the website the battery life for audio is 30 hours and video is 5 hours - but personally that may change depending on the usage. Most of the time it is less than what it says on the box.
3) Yes i find it very easy to use. Once you know how to work one ipod you can basically control them all with a few clicks of your thumb. It also comes with instructions for first time users so don't worry about a thing.
4) It is difficult to get the most out of movies from a small screen but definitely the classic is better than all of the other ipods, with the exception of the ipodtouch (larger screen that can be titled sideways). That said the classic does have stereo audio capabilities for movies and a good fram rate (not pixelated)"
greekgoddess793 replied: "I wouldnt get the ipod classic,because it contains a hard drive. The thing is if you shake it too much it could break. i would recommend getting the ipod nano or the touch because they have flash memory instead of hard drives."
What is the difference between the Ipod classic and Ipod video? Dude its like the exact same thing isn't it. Except the ipod classic has the half screen thing. Should I trade in my Ipod video 30gb for an ipod classic. If so, why is the classic so much better.
passthepepper93 replied: "The iPod video is actually called iPod with Video. They named it Classic, so it would have a suffix like the rest of the ipods (shuffle, nano, mini, touch, etc.)
The main differences are the UI, the disk capacity, and the aesthetics of the device."
BabsiLuv♥ replied: "The difference is that you wont be able to watch videos in the classic one."
Vlad replied: "All iPods (except the shuffle, of course) now play video, so there is no longer any reason to distinguish the iPod classic as a video-playing iPod.
Your iPod video occupied the same place in the iPod product matrix as the new iPod classic. They are essentially different versions of the same product. The iPod classic is just newer, slimmer, higher-capacity, and has a less-glossy but very attractive finish. It also has a 6G interface, which sports CoverFlow and some visual enhancements.
The iPod classic comes in 80GB and 160GB configurations: it's designed to be big enough to (in principle) support ALL your photos, music, podcasts, video podcasts, and several full-length movies at once. Compare the 80GB iPod classic to the next-biggest iPod Apple sells, the iPod touch in 16GB or the iPod nano in 8GB---it's a huge difference.
I can see no downside to upgrading from a 30GB iPod video to an 80GB or 160GB iPod classic, unless you don't like the interface on the 6G iPods. I'm ambivalent about them: on the one hand it shows a lot of polish, but on the other hand, whenever I see the 'split screen' effect in the menus, it looks wrong to me. Call me a purist. But if I owned one, I suppose I would get used to it, and everything else about the interface is really nice.
Still, your 30GB iPod video isn't that much bigger than the 16GB of the iPod touch, or the 8GB iPod nano. If your music library is already larger than will fit on your iPod, and you're managing it manually, consider that an 'upgrade' might be to trade some of that space for a smaller-capacity iPod with a nicer interface (like the touch) or the very small iPod nano.
Ultimately, it will be up to your budget and preferences to decide."
What's the difference between Ipod classic and Ipod video? I need a detailed comparison. Please give me a difference such as, supporting video formats, or ability to play video, etc.
If ipod classic can play videos, why is ipod video so expenxive? Can Ipod classic play videos? It seems it can but it doesn't make any sense.
Neil M replied: "ipod video is better"
Mark replied: "ipod classic is the new version of the ipod video. if you look on apple website
there is no more production of ipod video it is called ipod classic"
Lady M replied: "iPod Classic is a video iPod. All new iPod nanos, iPod Classics, and iPod Touch play video. The important differences between the nano and Classic are going to be in the size of the hard drive and screen. The iPod touch is basically an iPhone, without phone service -- you can surf the web on it with a wi-fi connection.

Should I wait for the iPod Classic 7th Generation to be released to buy an iPod? I currently have a 2nd Generation iPod Nano with 4GB. I ran out of space and I need to buy a new iPod. When do you think the new iPod classic will be released? Is it worth the wait, or should I just buy a 6th Generation?
Also, I'm planning to buy this in a few months when I will have extra money. My friend said that perhaps the 7th generation will come out sooner because of problems with the 6th.
albino_pigeon replied: "i think you should get the ipod touch. i love mine!"
bgsterling_29 replied: "jus get an i touch"
jab_aidan replied: "i have an ipod touch 32gb. it is pretty awesome. but if you only want the classic. they just came out with the new one like four months ago. i think that you should go ahead and buy the 6th generation"
~~~gabbie~~~~ replied: "nope it will be 2 expensive!!!!!!!!!!!"
How will I know that a new iPod Classic is compatible with one of my old iPod rechargers? I'm planning to get an iPod Classic, and the only thing I was curious about was that I wanted to make sure that some of the older iPod accessories could be plugged into the new iPod. Such examples are iHome, iHome 2.0, etc. Can anyone help? Thanks, your answers are always a great help!
rickrudge replied: "Hello Britcop Jim,
I have no idea, but it might help if you brought your iPod rechargers with you to the store and ask the store clerk if you can try them with their display iPods. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

What is a usual price for Ipod Classic Video 80gb and what are the risks buying it used? Im just wondering what is the typical USED price for electronics more over mp3 players like Ipod Video Classic?
When did an Ipod Video Classic come into market?
Whats apples warranty on these ipods?
mmjscerda replied: "Well it depends on the condition if it's used.A new one is approximately $250.There really are no risk to buying it."
What should i get a ipod nano or a ipod classic? Recently apple released an ipod nano 5th gen and they also released a updated ipod classic. So i was wondering what i should get the ipod nano 16gb or the ipod classic 160gb. I know they both have there ups and downs but i still dont know what to get so can anyone help me chose.
ipodlover7459 replied: "well it really depends on how much you plan on using it.
Will you use it for movies etc as well as music? Think of the screen size as well.
Also do you need a smaller one to be compact and easier to take places."
nbawizards0 replied: "IPod Nano!! It's the best, and when you put them together, you'll realize that the nano is better"
christian replied: "Depends on what u r using it for. Music,movies etc. The screen size is also something to think about. I think of the ipod classic as just a huge version of the nano. I have an ipod touch and i love it!!!o and i would pick the nano"
matt11 replied: "it depends on what youre using it for..
if you want small, a choice of colors, and a camera go with the nano
if you don't care about the size and want alot of storage go with the classic
i would say the classic because most people already have cameras in their phone and color doesnt really matter to me..the 144 more gigs is a huge thing..in my opinion storage is everything in an ipod
if you need any other info go to this website .. "
Griffin Edward Cannie replied: "i think you should get the new ipod nano 5th generation it plays music movies tv shows games a camera and more!"
Allison replied: "I would say the nano, if you want a more portable iPod. My nano chromatic is the BEST!"
Jonel U replied: "Reason to buy iPod Classic
Bigger Screen than the Nano
Larger Capacity
Reason not to buy iPod Classic
It's bulky, and hard drive based, HD could fail sometime.
Outdated design and features, there could be a possible update soon or it could be phased out.
I think it's a good back up device, and for the long vacations and you don't bring a laptop.
With that said I think it's best to buy the new 5th Generation Nano
Both device are meant to be portable but the Nano is the more portable than the classic.
It does what the iPod Classic can do plus the ability to shoot video, FM, accelerometer.
If you want a bigger screen go for the iPod Touch
The iPod Nano is more bang-for-the-buck"
When is the release date of the Ipod Classic 7th Gen? When do you think will the Ipod Classic 7th Gen be released?
Because im planning to buy one but it has been a year since they released the Ipod Classic 6th gen. And i can't wait for what's in store for the next ipod classic.
glassrose106 replied: "Sometime in August or September Steve Jobs and Apple will hold an upfront conference to showcase the new iPods and updates. The new iPods are somtimes released for purchase at that time or a couple of weeks later. Keep checking news sites through the summer to check when Apple will launch and released the new iPods."
super replied: "on september"
How do you reformat the ipod classic from the ipod? I own the Ipod Classic 80gb. The ipod does not appear in windows, or on itunes. I have tried reformating with itunes, but it does not work. I have changed the ipod to disc mode and then format, and of course, it did not work. I have checked the USB port, and the cord, they are not the problem.
The port on the Ipod has been checked as well, and is not the issue.
ctshyguy1721 replied: "It could possible be a problem with the USB port on your iPod. Take it to the apple store if your warrenty is still good."
What is the difference between a 5th generation apple ipod classic and a 5.5 generation classic apple ipod? I am thinking about getting either a 5th generational ipod or a 5.5 generation ipod classic. What is the difference? Any experience with one or the other or possibly both? Which one should I get? Thanks!
Mike E replied: "Just a firmware update. No real difference in it's capabilities"
VickyStarr replied: "The 5th gen and 5.5 gen are essentially the same, but the 5.5 gen has a brighter screen and it also includes a small search function (to quickly find songs/albums/artists/etc. on the iPod).
The classic is 6th gen. It's got a slightly different design (more rounded) and the screen designs are a little different.
The main difference between the 5th and 6th gens is the space. 5th gens hold 30GB or 60GB, and 6th gens hold 80GB or 160GB.
Good luck choosing =D"
