Yesterday I recieved a 30gb iPod I had ordered to fix for my father. I fixed it, no problems. The iPod says 2005 and has no search feature. Therefore it is not the iPod updated last September. He bought his first movie last night and when I clicked it on the iPod, it said "Loading" and the loading symbol you get when you are booting up your Mac computer. It started in 5 seconds. I have the same generation and I've never seen the loading message. Anybody know whats wrong with mine?

Have you updated it to the latest iPod software (for 5G) version 1.2.1? If not, here's how to do so from iTunes 7....

You can always download the latest iTunes software at http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/. When you have the latest version, use the iTunes menus to check for updates. On the Mac choose File > Check for Updates. On Windows choose Help > Check for Updates.

I checked and everything is up to date. It's not a big deal but do you think I should contact Apple anyway?
