Find video content with subtitles or alternative audio languages
Go to a movie or show's information page in the iTunes Store or Apple TV app, then scroll down to the Languages section.
Alternative audio languages are listed to the right of Additional. If a language lists only Subtitles or CC next to it, then the movie doesn't contain an audio track in that language — only subtitles or closed captioning.
Find video content with accessibility features
Go to a movie or show's information page in the iTunes Store or Apple TV app, then scroll down to the Accessibility section.
You can also search for 'closed caption,' 'subtitles,' 'SDH,' or 'AD' in the iTunes Store.
About iTunes Store and Apple TV app accessibility features
Accessibility features available in the iTunes Store and Apple TV app include closed captions, subtitles, and audio-described content. Availability of these features varies by country or region.
Closed-captioned content is a visual transcription of a video's dialogue, as well as any non-verbal communication. CC content also might help identify the speaker in a video.
Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing content is similar to closed captions, but SDH content might be available in some situations where CC is not, and might be available in additional languages.
Audio-described content uses a spoken audio track to describe what's happening onscreen. Learn more about audio-described content.
How to change the subtitle or audio language
If the video you're watching includes CC, SDH, AD, or alternative audio languages, your media player should offer a way to use these accessibility features, most often through the Audio & Subtitles menu, often indicated with .

I have an old iPod nano (1st. generation) from 2005. I updated the firmware to the latest version 1.3.1 and it has all kinds of problems for me. Random reboots, garbled images, etc...
How can I restore it to an older firmware version? iTunes won't let me. I tried downloading an old restore software from Apple which has the firmware version 1.2 but when I start it, it only tells me to use iTunes and quits.
I'm on Windows XP.

I've been searching for you and here is what I've found:
A little forum talk about 'how to downgrade' here
And a comment from a user:
You should be able to restore back to the 1.0 firmware using the ipod updater, when you run it just use the option to RESTORE IPOD to factory settings. It will format your nano so you will lose all the music on there
The only thing I don't know is if the latest 2nd Generation Nanos will run the earlier 1G firmwares?
If you nano defiinately only has the 1.1 firmware on it (1.2 if the latest) do not use itunes to update as I don't think you will be able to rollback.
I'm not a nano expert but I would recommend you have a good read of ipodwizard.net as the forum there is where you will find all the answers you need.
Messing with your firmware could easily result in a dead ipod !!
Hope this will help you!

I am pretty sure it works the same way as the iPhone. If you have a copy of the firmware onyour local drive, start up iTunes and connect your ipod. You should have an option to restore your iphone on the home screen. Hold down SHIFT and it will allow you to browse for the firmware you want to load. From there the process will be managed by iTunes.
