But it's still the 5G... :huh:

Exactly, I don't know where you're getting 6G from but these are still 5G iPods. I don't know if it's just a feature update that they are giving everyone or what but it's not a new iPod so I see no reason to not allow firmware updates to it.

On a side note, it didn't update my iPod so I don't know if the firmware isn't out yet or if it isn't going to update.

But it's still the 5G... :huh:

Not exactly. The hardware is slightly different; better battery (if that's not a software improvement) and 60% brighter screen. May not be '6G' per se, but definitely 5G v2, if you will.

Betaz: The reason why they may not want the current 5G running the new firmware is to make it one of the "features" of the new iPod, thus luring people, you see? Oh well in this case I hope I'm wrong :)

PS. Engadget is calling it the 5.5G iPod.

huh, either you all didnt have playlists before or they are gone with the new installation.

i have like for every band one playlist, i hope they will be ported to v7, like they did with the previous updates!

More on the features: on the "games" page of the iTMS, it says the games are compatible with fifth-generation iPods with firmware 1.2 and above. I think we can all agree that these new ones are still fifth-generation :)

Don't worry, my playlists stayed intact :)

If that's true, the chances of us "original 5G" people getting the new search UI are high!

Yeah, the only thing updated is better battery and brighter screen, other than that it's all the same. It's definitely not a 6G because it's still "fifth-generation" on Apple's site ;)

Anyway, anyone who would buy a brand new iPod just for these updates is out of their mind so I don't think it's enough to hold out on current customers.

Dunno if you tried it out or not, iTunes 7 installs and runs fine on x64- (still cannot get it working on my mac pro (osx)... anyone with a mac pro also not able to get itunes 7 working?

I guess the new nano is not coming from china like i thought, ships within 24 hours, as of now..

this new itunes is aload of crap :crazy:

first off its slow and sluggish and i have a fast pc with 2gb of ram

mine too, however it is going through the entire library 'determining gapless playback information,' so i'm assuming that is why it is sluggish.. ill check again after that is finished.

edit:

it isnt sluggish anymore, however it is using between 120-150mb of ram...

the new colour scheme and icon are UGLY

My computer has 1GB of RAM and iTunes takes around 18MB of RAM. :rollseyes:

Does anyone have any ideas? Looks like Apple still have some fixing too do. :)

- Windows XP Home

- AMD x64 3000+

- 1.25GB RAM

- nVidia 6600GT if any use ;)

Tried reinstalling a few times, compatibility wizard, repair install not any luck.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
