iPod 5G

I assert that "iPod 5G" is a popular shortening for iPod Touch (5th generation); the first ten hits Google, in fact, are just about the iPod Touch version. Therefore I believe the hatnote should stay at least. hbdragon88 (talk) 09:26, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Official website

I've tried to change to article to reflect the fact that the link to the official website is a dead link, but I'm not sure if I have done so correctly. Doonagatha (talk) 07:41, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on IPod Classic. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070907155122/http://www.apple.com:80/ipodclassic/ to http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

USB?

The article says the connectors are USB/Firewire but the iPod Classic connectors were all Apple's 32 pin proprietary connector which was discontinued with the discontinuation of the classic 6th generation. Or did i miss something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmhowitt (talk • contribs) 08:39, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

At the host end, the wire is USB-A or Firewire. At the iPod end, it's 30-pin. The reason we bother to state that it was USB/Firewire on the host end is because the iPod hails to a bygone era when it wasn't unheard of for devices to connect to PC via an ancient "D-Sub" 9-pin serial or 25-pin parallel connector (designed in the 1970s!). For example, the Rio PMP300 connected via the parallel printer port. Heck, when the first-gen iPod came out, Sony was still insisting that it was totally cool for users to record their MP3s to MiniDisc via an analog connection! — TheHerbalGerbil^(TALK|STALK), 05:53, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
