  • how do i jailbreak my ipod

  • I wanted to ask mam apple ipod 30 gigabytes if it's 1.3 nak de crack moh abich here to play games

  • @Protege160 I know you were talking about iTunes but the 5.5G / 5G iPod Video never had cover flow so you would have to record scrolling through the cover flow then place it in images.

  • Is this an update for the 5g?

  • To the guy saying its pointless all you have to do is go to the top and click get album artwork. also you can click get info and post your own picture to it. So the problem isent that you dont have all the photo's the problem is that your too fucking lazy to click a few buttons.

  • @Protege160 This is a 5.5G or a 5G iPod not a classic know your shit before you post

  • @zimipoder I was talking about in the itunes program you fucking idiot. Think about it here. You cant go to get info or advanced on your ipod. Wow you just made yourself look dumb. Good Going.

    Know your shit before you post dick.

  • Does anyone know how to downgrade my ipod nano 4th gen from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2 ?

  • its easy man, as long as you have the firmware already. ok this is what you do

    Open up Itunes and make sure your nano is plugged in

    then go under devices and select your ipod nano and then on your keyboard press and hold the shift button,while you have the shift button held click restore then a window will pop up in Itunes and then just locate your old firmware and press open. you should be able to do the rest from there.

  • It's a video running on that iPod. The iPod is locked, so the scroll wheel isn't actually working. He/she practiced on the timing of "hitting" the buttons at the right time. SO FAKE.

  • Just to prove you wrong I looked this up. It's a custom firmware update made by xxDriveNxx on ipodwizard. :)

  • thoese are... pics if it aint costume firmware or rockbox can't be any newer unless you descripted all the codes for ipod video 55g or 5g

  • Amigo queria saber aonde tem esse Firmware para mim colocar no meu, obrigado

  • is busy

  • In these day, what's new on ipod?? ipod is still trouble with download ?? in those time, ,i was gone crazy. my music was mixed and few file was disappeared. I use now ipod nano and yp-p3 . yp-p3 is new one. it's worth that p3 is companionable with ipod touch 4g,you know. p3's wigdets are not that funny but i've never seen before. so i'm in the middle of take up these widget. after try , i'll tell ya

  • hi.. i need a iPod Firmware Version 1.3 do you have it?

  • um they have that now. you know that right?

  • thats bullshit

  • That is RockBox!

  • WTF?!!! was that!!!!

    FAKE!!!!

  • he just took screenshots of coverflow on itunes and scrolled through them.

  • lol whut?

  • thats on my ipod nano Gen 3.....

  • update it and u can get the genuis option

  • OoOOoOooOo Whats that???

    -Please be a cool thing-

  • Sherlock

  • you have to download rockbox on your ipod and then there will be a hack for it, u then download that and install it which creates the coverflow, to time consuming- and a waste of time

  • guys!! - this shit can be just a video...

  • That is indeed a 5g ipod. The way he is doing that is hundreds of pictures in his photos album that are each a frame in a video of an ipod scrolling through coverflow. He scrolls forward and backward through the pictures creating the illusion of coverflov, but in reality he is just playing a video forward and backward frame by frame really fast.

  • No, theres a hack, it lets you use coverflow, its a combination of a theme and rockbox modded into the firmware.

  • dude this was released in feb 07 before the classics

  • where did u get the download for iPodwizard?

  • Guys that's a 5th generation iPod.

    Cover flow is only on the 6th generation.

  • dude i love rhcp

  • Looks like a 5th gen to me.

    Plus you can use ipod wizard to upgrade the hacked 5-5.5 firmware.

  • Stupid shit ..

  • FAKE, FAKE, FAKE. Just look at his finger when the video starts and when he put the mp3, it's moving and the picture don't. It´s just a video playback ;)

  • My friend's iPod has coverflow :|

  • wrong! its a firmware download...an update for the ipod 5th gen

  • someone knows if its possible covreflow on a 80gb ipod video?

  • it comes with it bro...

  • sorry i know that ipod classic comes with coverflow, but i have an ipod 5 gen. Please answer again

  • :O i see, its possible, u just need to download the iPod wizzard, follow a tutorial on it, then u donwload the hacked firmware and your done, u can even mod it to make it look unique n_n

  • No. This is FAKE.

  • no, it's real, but it is just a theme. It isn't actually running the iPod Classic firmware.

  • Ok, there is an iPod classic to video hack but it does NOT have cover flow. Even if cover flow support was added to 5G iPods, it would not look like that. This one is a video from iTunes.

  • u can get it on rockbox, but idk how to get it.

  • IT COMES WITH IT. "DUMB ASS"

  • it doesn't come with that on 5th/5.5 gen.

  • omg i want it, ive been trying to do that with the firmware now but had no success plz tell me how plzzzzzzzzzz

  • how do u download tat plz !!!! i want a cover flow real bad on my fif gen ipod

  • how did you do that? that looks sikkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!

  • because is a waste of fucking money when u can just add additional features for free...u should ask yourself...why are people so fucking dumb when they buy new Ipods instead of just adding extra features with a little of inteligence...

  • Dude you get 50GB more. Its really not a waste of money.

  • @jozee2413 What If they wanna get a Ipod with upgraded GB's like the 160GB. Which is bullshit cause now we gonna pay more money for an upgraded ipod which is more bullshit cause we all know they just gonna lower the price we payed for 80GB. The next coming 320GB. Price OVER 9000!!!!

  • como hago para descargar el firmware please

  • i have that coverflow thing on mine, but it's pretty pointless. unless you have every single picture for every single album/song you can't really do much with it and it's slow too.

  • @czech27 how did you do it?!

  • you can have this in Rockbox...but it is a complicated to do it....oh and the ipodtouch theme for the ipod video is called...."Ipod Touch comes to ipod video" someone also released the ipod touch and ipod classic combined in the ipod video

  • COMO SE LE PONE ??

  • the only thing important about this video was that it had Deftones, the greatest band in the world, in it.

  • its almost a year and this crap doesnt come out yet?

  • Money its not fake its a frimware hack that has no coverflow yet

  • fake his hands dont match the movement

  • fuck you dog

  • and u also can download a firmware to make it look like a ipod touch which i have done to my ipod but still no coverflow for it

  • how???????

  • yes i know of that site and no they have not posted a coverflow yet for the hack on your 5 or 5.5g. So everyone sit back, it will come soon by the apple company or hackers who will update the ipod video firmware to ipod classic

  • It's impossible, the hardware's completely different.

  • it's possible, its a hack from rockbox which you can download and install in your ipod

  • Yeah, but this isn't rockbox.

  • If you actually looked it up, you'd find that they have the same ARM architecture in their CPU's and nearly identical logic boards, which is why most of the iPod games can run on both.

  • u guys r all fucking stupid, its a differnt type of firmware you can install on your 5 or 5.5g ipod videa=o, to liook like the classic's firmware. and before posting to question me, google ipod classic hacks, and click on the first link. i have this on my 5.5g and its real.

  • This certainly isn't rockbox - I have it installed on my 5.5G and the skins aren't capable of this. If it's a movie, he must have the hold key on otherwise the volume would be changing all the time

  • yeah but its only a rockbox plugin

  • rockbox sucks its interface is lame

  • But you can still customize it...

  • There is a third party firmware download that makes the 5th generation ipod have the cover flow, so It might not be exactly the same.

  • bull.

  • thats a vid asshole

  • its real and i have it on my ipod 5.5...

    so b4 that u say to other asshole ( just verify urself )

  • How do you get it? I also have a 5.5 30GB

  • Is there such thing? I thought the only 30 gig's were g4's

  • no the last 30gig they made was the 5.5g which is what I have;) The 6g is when they switched to 80GB and 160GB.

  • Do you have a tutorial link for this coverflow firmware hack please? Cheers ;)

  • This is fake as you can see when he clicked the album it didn't flip as in the new iPod Classic, so FAKE and the back turned white...

  • This was a prototype from a early this year.

    You can clearly see that this is not fake, it's real.

  • its a fake his fingers doesn't move synchronized

    to the display

    he just plays a video from his ipod with a coverflow animation...

  • except of that, is the background from coverflow white

    just the iphone and the ipod touch have a blck background at coverflow

    sorry for bad english

  • dude dont be stupid, thats the new iPod Classic

    the new ipods like new nano ipod touch or ipod

    classi can do that not the old generation (5th)

  • that's a video

  • thats real no doubt that but how did he do it?

  • so i am pretty convinced, that this is not, fake.

    and for those of you who are still not convinced, and who beleive it is a ''video'',

    try finding me, such a ''video'', because i doubt it was him, filming, an itunes coverflow.

    and by the way. if it really, was a video, whilst, he was scrolling the touch pad, the ''volume'' bar, would have shown up.

    so once agaqin, there's evidence that it is real.

    thank you.

  • he could have had the hold feature on. it could easily be a screenvid of itunes coverflow, and I don't see why you doubt that.

    p.s. you overuse commas.

  • Yeah. You can tell it's a video because it's intentionally been filmed wobbley so they could hide the hold icon in the top left.

    Pow.

  • he could of just locked it then the volume wouldent come up

  • ok, my opinion is:

    that, all iPod's, can have a modded version.

    in that way, you can ''hack''', the software.

    now, i know, apple, has denied, to send us, the much wanted coverflow,

    but think about it.

    if this were to be a video, when he clicked on ''the stadium arcadium cover'',

    it would have gone, to movies, but instead,

    it went to a song list, and when he clicked again, he went to the ''now playing'' screen.

    thank you.

  • wat the fuck!

    why would it go to movies

    and if he click on a song of course it goes to the now playing screen

  • its fake its a video and he was acting the hand movements

  • It is real.  I just saw this in Circuit City. Even the damn nano had it.

  • its fake. period. check out the official modsite for ipods at ipodwizard. read and search up shit, understand it, before you sad kids make assumptions, and flame people with real knowledge of what is going on.

  • wow i find it said when a person has to make a fake video lol

  • you-are-a-loser.

  • were do you download it

  • GRR "its fake its fake!"

    its a bloody mod! its not fake. OK its not officially "cover flow" by apple, but it still looks really good!

    bloody hell, Americans eh?

  • Not fake - seen it demo'd in the apple store on Tuesday.

    A friend of mine has the latest ipod and it does this on hers also.

  • this is fake, ipod video does _NOT_ have coverflow, WITH THE RELFELCTIONS. it ONLY has it as a album of photos with all album art, and is scrollable. thats ALL. but you cannot select tracks from the album art. its essentially useless. look on the ipod wizard forums for more info.

    [the 5g coverflow is dead anyways]

  • thats no wat coverflow looks like

  • You're right... On the 6G and the new nanos, the coverflow background is white, not black... But what's puzzling is that after he selects the album in the video, it goes to the song, which no one other than apple has figured out how to do!

  • It's fake u morons. How? Well, someone took a video of itunes coverflow and then downloaded it for his 5G iPod and then played it, while mimicking the clickwheel motion with his fingers.

  • Is that why there are pictures of this new feature on the Apple website? Wrong. You're the moron.

  • pshhh idiot, they obviously somehow copied the new ipod firmware and put it on this ipod video.

  • well not so much, the 6G firmware hasn't been hackd yet so that isnt plausible. also, thaat isnt at all what the 6G cover flow looks like. silly n00bs iPod hacks are for pros

  • dont forget the hold swich, otherwise your SERIOUSLY stupid looking when you upload the video to youtube -___-

  • well theyre a business theyre not gonna make the firmware public for the 5th generation until the whole omg another ipod with some more useless new shit hype has worn off....i own a 5th generation....the new one, the front panel looks awful...anyway either apple or somebody will make the firmware update available eventually with varying terms of legallity not that we really care

  • its availible for ipod video 5g??

  • no!!

    its fake. yes coverflow IS available for 5G.... partially.

  • While this video is fake, the new line of iPods do indeed have Cover Flow. Go to Apple's website for proof.

  • is cover flow for the video gonna happen?

  • Funny, this is exactly what apple did with the ipod classics (among other things). The new ones are really cool, but I wish apple would release a firmware update for us 80 gig video owners. I like the cover flow!

  • it will happen just not now give it a mounth

  • CAPS LOCK CRUISE CONTROL FOR EMPHASIS

  • Really? Why are they now availible?

  • how do you do that

  • Idiot, it's fake.

  • Afraid this is just a video shown on the ipod video of the iPhone's interface. Would be nice though.

  • How can i get the new firmware update?

  • even if this is fake apple is releasing this for the ipod videos

  • how do u know?

  • uh you guys are retarded fo reals, this isnt fake its a new firmware update and he would have to be amazing to make a video of this and have it in such sync with his fingers

    and the ipod videos are slow due to the fact that they have hard drives in them they arent flash based like the new ipod nano and shuffle,

    but apple is releasing all new apple items soon

    macbook por and macs,ipods al equipped with flash based memory

    so get your facts straight before you guys dis in this dude

  • haha dude, that are pics and not a firmware update...you so poor

  • haha... you are such a dumb ass :). the macs are using flash drives? and your head is using shit. talk only when you know what you're talking!

  • if it was a new firmware update why did it come out in february and it hasnt come out for those ipods yet.

  • i really really wish that this was going to happen but i know if it does it wont for a while

  • 13-14 FAKE

  • this is only a video made from itunes and played on the ipod!!

  • lol fake

    i also know how to play videos on an iPod video

  • JUst something i noticed, but if it was fake hed have to have it on hold, and when he hit the center button to select RHCP, it went to the album. it might have been a slight of hand, but im confused...

  • XD!!!!!!

  • you fucking suck at holding the camera =o

  • IS FAKE!!!

  • look at about 14- 15 seconds, not responsive

  • if you had an ipod video you would know it is sometimes slow

  • i know.. my moms ipod is a video and it freezes alot

  • Jaja!!!

    It's a video!!! Stupid!!...

    Just look at the start!! (they move the finger.. and nothing happens untill a couple of seconds)

    The stupid just memorize how need to move the finger over the scroll syncronized with the video...

  • How Can i get this firmware???

  • hehe they are playing vídeo....

    good trick!

    only a stupid can belive in this shit!

  • i don't think that the ipod's gpu can display such movings maybe next gen ipods can display it. So stop doing fake 'firmare updates'

  • wer can i get this update is it for mac formatted ipods only?

  • How unusual that the Red Hot Chilli's song that's "playing" on the iPod there is the same song Apple often demo in their promos, how odd?!? You f'ing knob-jockey stop wasting everyone's time...

  • What the hell are you talking about? Are you retarded?

  • kya dekhra hun bhai

  • yeah like you can see the defrence in a have second dumb ass--> dave932932!,ass

  • Comment removed

  • is this only for the viseo? or the video and nano?

  • This is fake. He or she put a video of coverflow on the iPod and tried to sync his or her finger to the scrolling. The first half second gives it away.

  • Comment removed

  • Def fake lot at the 1st 1 1/2 second he scrolls and the screen doesn't move.

  • I think your comment is fake *lol* JESUS! why does everything have to be fake, COME ON!!!

    This is NOT fake. Coverflow exists! ARGH!!!

  • ere08 If you don't kill yourself I will appear in your mirror every night and slap the shit out of you for posting dumb ass messages like this.

  • FAGSSS i was getting all happy to

  • fucking idiots, its a video and hes making it up!!! its a video and hs acting it out
