iPod Version

[msimoens]

I'm using Amarok to sync my iPod and noticed that I can set what version of iPod I have. I know I have a 60GB Video iPod but not sure if it's 4G or 5G and if it's a 4G then which of the two it is (x9586 or x9830) or if it even matters. I just want it to work perfectly. Model of iPod as stated on back: A1136

Re: iPod Version

You need more than the Generation (5G) and Model (A1136) to know what size of iPod you have. You also need to know the Part Number:
Generation Storage Color Part Number1 A Number2
5g 30GB Normal (white) MA002 1136
30GB Normal (black) MA146
60GB Normal (white) MA003
60GB Normal (black) MA147

1 - The part number can be found in the Settings->About menu as 'Model' on your iPod. Alternatively check your SysInfo file.
2 - The A-Number can be found on the back of the iPod as 'Model No'. They are not as reliable identifiers as the part numbers.
