VBLUE42 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 As it's stated in the manual, 4th Gen iPods are not supported. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyDepp Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 As it's stated in the manual, 4th Gen iPods are not supported. You are *likely* correct because you've been around these units a while...and because this guy was obviously having problems with that one model. However, I disagree with you if you believe it's 100% clear in the manual. I'm reading it right now...it has a line for "iPod Classic: Ver 2.0.2" without being 100% clear which generations of classic they mean on that line....so it doesn't make clear on that line if the 4th gen is specifically excluded. And the other line listing the "iPod fifth generation" as a stand-alone also doesn't mean the 4th gen is specifically excluded. Also, it says others than those listed "may" not work correctly. That doesn't mean they definitely wouldn't, it means they MAY not....so this guy was cool asking about it. This was NOT a clear-cut case of "read the manual" in my humble opinion....we've got plenty of such cases on this forum, but this wasn't one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 The "classic" destiction is on 6th and 7th gen iPods only. People mistakingly refer to all "original looking" as classics but that is not correct. The 4th Gen is not supported period. The minimal "original looking" iPod is the first gen iPod video, also known as the 5th Gen and from there on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Also if he says he has a 4th Gen iPod and it specifically says 4th gens aren't supported I don't see the confussion. That is why I directed him to the manual. It right there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The minimal "original looking" iPod is the first gen iPod video, also known as the 5th Gen and from there on. Just wondering which generation/version would a brand new iPod classic be??? If an iPod classic is not 5th generation or version 2.02, is it possible to program/ upload version 2.02 onto it and if so which webite would have it?? It would be nice to post this & the answers onto a sticky so it stays on top for easier reference for other users.. Odie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Only firmware meant for a particular gen ipod will load to that iPod. You cant take a 5 or 5.5 gen firmware and load it on a 6 or 7 gen. And the currently available iPod Classics are the 7 gen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vapur Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 No, noobs will still come here and ask a question without bothering to help themselves first when the answer can easily be found with just a little effort. come on with that noob shit, thats why forums like this are here. its a community for a reason and sometimes a persons simple answer is easier the skimming a million words worth of stuff on a cd rom or pdf as a paper manual (for good reason) is no longer available. you were helpful to me when i got my first avic deck but i had no idea you hated the questions.

There's a huge difference from new members that come in to a forum and first look at what's already been discussed and n00bs that just come in blindly and ask questions that are on the sticky right on top of them. None of us mind helping people that are trying but just need a bit of help, and most of us are ticked at users that just come in demanding answers. Come in and say "hey, I looked at the manual and this isn't clear to me" and you get respect, come in and say "what wire is the power?" and you get no respect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
