NO, you have got to specify which one he has. The Ipod 5th generation is longer and not as wide as the 4th generation that I have. I do not no if there is a difference between the other generations.

5th gen w/video, yes. That's what I had before getting upgraded to the 160gb, it fit both.

I do not know which generation Ipod I have (5 years old) but it does function properly except for the charging indicator. My ipod is always plugged in, but when wokeup shows ipod battery is low. This does not affect how I use the unit-basically a storage/playback unit for my cd collection. I think they showed a compatibility chart in the online manual?

I am not sure but I can say that my IPod from 2002 did not work so I suspect it is the newer version.

Krishna, It has the standard 32 pin connector - I have a 4th gen iPod. One concern with this system and it may only be my docking station - it shuts off after half an hour and this started happening 2 years after purchase. It is not a big deal to me and it has great sound from both my iPods (I also have one of the old small ones that is at least 6 years old). So I didn't answer your question exactly, but if the 5th gen has a 32 pin instead of the new lightning connection it will work. Kind regards, tom

Hi, I do not think this is the updated version of the 5G. I am also looking to see If this was, however I am sure that they have not released the updated version to amazon.com yet, I do not see the 80 Gig on here either which leads me to believe that we may have to wait for amazon to release it on their site. This is disappointing to me because I have a gift certificate that I wanted to use it towards the new Ipod, but I am certian that perhaps in the next week or so they should have it released. Good luck!

Definitely the IPod 5th generation. It's faster, sharper, and overall better. Though if money is the issue, IPod 4th generation is still a great product! :-)

According to their website, the only differences I can see (I have the old one) are the color (Blue and Grey, instead of the old red), the iPod plugin and speakers, and the back tires are slightly different.

The only difference between two differently released iPod shuffle 4th generation is the colors. While the first released versions were silver, blue, pink, green, and orange, secondly released versions consisted of silver, slate, purple, pink, yellow, green and blue models, all with matte finish unlike the shiny finish before.

Yes they are. In fact, I have a 5th gen iPod Touch and the headphones work perfectly fine. They work as long as they fit, which should be in most devices. Good luck

Don't be sad, I actually prefer the 5.5 generation over the classic. I ended up keeping mine instead of getting a classic. Its much zippier in navigating, especially if you have a lot of videos and the click wheel works much smoother. All in all the 5.5 generation is my favorite thus far.

I am not actually sure. I have not used my Ipod in years. Not even sure what generation I have.

As long as the 5th Gen Shuffle is the same dimension size as the 4th Gen Shuffle, then yes. I tried looking, and it looks to me like the 4th and 5th Gen Shuffle are the same, just more color options (2nd was more rectangle, 3rd was much taller, and 4th/5th are more square shaped). Here is a link on Apple's page that differentiates Ipod models:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353?viewlocale=en_US&locale;=en_US
