Well, how can you tell it's a 1st generation?
if your iPod has just a solid metal back and it has a big black plastic that covers the whole left hand corner it is 8GB, 16GB or a 32GB and looks like this.
it is a 1st generation
How can you tell if it's a 2nd generation?
if your iPod has a chrome back like this
And it is 8GB, 16GB or 32GB it is a 2nd generation
How can you tell if it's a 3rd generation?
a third generation looks like a 2nd generation
& try the apple site --> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
The third generation iPod doesn't have a camera in it but a fourth generation iPod does. The third generation iPod is also more thicker than the fourth generation iPod and it doesn't have as much features as the fourth generation iPod.
by the edges and the screen looks
go on gamestop.com and type in ipod nano fifth generation and it will tell ya
Take it to a specialist and ask them.
I don't know you tell me
Sorry, but every generation of ipod touch had an 8gb version, so unless you give more detail, it is impossible to tell.
iPod Classic, iPod Nano 1st Generation, iPod Nano 2nd Generation, iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano 3rd Generation, iPod Nano 4th Generation, iPod Touch, iPod Nano 5th Generation.
If you paid for a 3rd generation but ended up with a 2nd generation, and you know for sure, go back to where you bought it with your receipt and all iPod accessories and iPod that came with it in the box and tell the return center that you want a 3rd generation, and not a 2nd generation.
The hard drive capacity of the iPod does not tell anything about the iPod, except its hard drive capacity. There are numerous generations for all of the types of iPods available, so please be more specific. The fifth generation iPod Nano has a video camera, and the fourth generation iPod Touch has a video camera and regular camera.
u can tell because it is slightly faster tan the 2nd or 3rd.
Is your ipod a 5th generation
No
