I already read the topic on rolling back the software for a 6th gen ipod that was posted on here. I have a 7th gen 120Gb classic and was wondering if anyone had any idea how to rollback the software on it so that the video option can be used on the D3. If this has been covered I appoligize in advance. The 6th gen ipod rollback did not work with my new one and I Tunes 8.0. Thanks for any help any of you can offer.

I don't think the 7th gen iPods have come out yet, you've got a 6th gen. I don't know why rolling back the software didn't work though.

7th Gen is out it is only available in 120 GB.

If you're talking about the 120GB that looks just like the 6th gen, what I found on Wikipedia says it's a 6th gen with a new hard drive and firmware.

I couldn't complete all the steps to roll back the software. Some of the prompts described in the instructions did not come up when I tried it. I downloaded what was needed and followed the steps to the letter. I was not given the prompt to use the old software. This is the new 120GB model that has just come out.

What software version is on it, and what version are you trying to go to? I couldn't find the post with rollback procedure.

I'm having the same problem.

I've tried about 3 different firmware downgrades, none of which are working. This is a pain in the ass.

 

The new ipods are still 6th gen but they have upgraded firmware, which I think is locking out the roll backs.

If anyone has had any luck on downgrading the 2.01 firmware, please help us out.

I work at Circuit City. There is no 7th gen iPod yet. My guess when it IS released, it will be an ~80GB version of the Touch.

Point is not 120GB version is 6th gen or 7th gen.

Does anybody know how to roll back firmware for new 120GB only version of Ipod classic? :?:
