Apple has released a variety of iPod models that can be easily confused with the names. You need to know the identifier of your device in order to verify compliance with the system requirements and to have an idea of the functionality and capabilities.
Instructions
Step 1
When identifying your iPod model, note the following: Multi-touch display, control buttons, control wheel, scroll wheel, sensor wheel, and remote control headphones. the amount of memory, the presence of a color or black-and-white screen; the presence of a dock connector, clip or camera.
Step 2
To determine the amount of hard disk, go to the item "Main menu" - "Settings" - "About device" (for iPod Touch this menu is located in "Settings" - "General" - "About device"). For some models, the memory capacity is indicated on the back of the case.
Step 3
Look for a camera on your device. The iPod Touch 4 has two built-in cameras, the player itself can be white or black. The iPod Touch 3 has a rear-facing camera only and differs externally from the iPod Touch 2 in that the model number is A1318 under the engraving. There is also a camera on the iPod Nano 5, which the previous generations lacked.
Step 4
If there is no camera, then pay attention to the display of the device. The sixth generation iPod Nano has a touchscreen display that is smaller than the iPod Touch and Nano 5. The Nano 3 has a wider display than the rest of the Nano. The iPod Shuffle is small and therefore lacks a screen. The iPod Classic models have a widescreen display (the newest model has 160GB of storage, the earlier players have 120GB and 80GB respectively).
Step 5
The Shuffle 3 has a 3-way button and is smaller than the previous two generations. The Nano 2 is smaller, while the classic Nano has a dock and headphone jack at the bottom of the case. The wheel is found on early iPod Mini and iPod with monochrome displays.
