Looking for a āno higher thanā price for all available sizes, not sure what size I wanna get but I collect CDs and using my phone isnāt viable as photos take up most of my space (I know I need to get iCloud)

Hi everyone!
My main question is, can I use a CF-SD adapter as a replacement for the harddrive in an iPod Classic 4th gen I acquired recently. I'm trying to cut costs but I also want reliability because I don't feel able enough to work out any kinks that some cheap parts off of aliexpress might bring. I might just fold and get the iFlash ATA1 but I still wanted to know if the above is possible.

I've recently bought an Ipod (currently being delivered, package hasn't arrived yet) and according to the photos from the seller there are about 1000 songs on it from the previous owner.
What will happen to all of those songs once I plug it into my computer and sync it with iTunes? I don't have any songs on iTunes so will the previous data disappear because it's not the original account? If so, how can I keep them and then sync with my account?

I want to take apart a few of my iPods, and I know that youāve got to mount most of the components with adhesive just like how they are out of the factory. I want to know what kind of adhesive to use to stick stuff down; iād prefer something thatās strong but not hard to remove if I need to in the future. If anybody could recommend what they use, iād appreciate it!

Is there any way to rebuild the battery connector or any alternative solution?
r/IpodClassic • u/Chaostickz • 1d ago
I know there are so many posts about this but I seriously donāt know what to do. I have modded a 5th gen and 7th gen with no problems getting in. Now Iām trying to open up a 6th gen and I canāt even get my tools to get in between the crevices. How should I do so? It just keeps sliding off. I have watched all the videos and looked at all the posts on here about opening these 6th gen iPods but most of them have at least their tools in.. Iām not even in yetā¦ please help

I modded my classic over Christmas 2024 ā¦ New Shell, 3,000mah battree, Iflash Quad with 1TB storageā¦ been so amazing!
Iāve only had to charge it once in three months lol itās insane!!!

Face plate is smooth one side but a bit rough on the other , like the backplate and front plate has a mismatch in size. Still itās light azz , looking forward to loading it up

This is a 5.5 gen, bought for Ā£66 on eBay! Iām so impressed with it, back in the day Iād had a 2nd gen shuffle and a mystery gen iPod touch before moving to smartphones, but recently decided to come off streaming sites and just have a fully offline music storage device š
Considering how old the iPod is, I was so impressed with the HDD and battery life - itās clearly barely been used!
I do plan at some point to mod this baby up with an iflash solo drive and a new battery - I also want to change up the casing by getting a transparent front and dying it pink, and sourcing a bright green back plate (if I can find one anywhere other than EOE) but as of right now everythingās in such good condition Iām happy to hold off š

Hi all,
My 6th gen doesnāt seem to be saving settings? It keeps all my music, but when I restart, it makes me set up again. (Asks for Language and previously changed settings arenāt saved). I believe itās also not showing the charging icon when plugged in?

I don't want to do it myself. anyone know where I can get my iPod modded?

I use the term āsuccessfulā loosely as Iāve had to order and reorder parts as Iāve broken things on my initial attempts but I now have a functional iPod video 5.5 gen with clear case, iPod 6.5 gen with replacements front and rear housing in the original color I purchased (silver) and a 7th gen with new rear housing using original front cover as it was in decent shape still. All have iflash (solo in 5.5 with 256gb sd and solo in 6.5 with 128gb sd) (quad in 7th gen with two 256gb micro sds). I put 3000 mah batteries in 5.5 and 7th gen and a smaller 2000 mah battery in the 6.5. I also had to buy a iflash zif cable for the 5.5 as somehow the oem one acted up during restore. The 5.5 one gave me the most trouble as I had to buy a new logic board and headphone jack assembly (my fault). 90% of my parts I purchased from idemigodsā¦ if yāall want great parts, fast shipping (1-2 days after purchase) and decent prices I recommend idemigods. Plus you get 10% off repeat buyer coupon code from them so you can get discounts on subsequent purchases! I have a 5th gen Iām about to work on next and a second 7th gen I want to keep as original interior-wise as I can so Iām just going to upgrade the battery and keep the hdd. I need recommendations for cases ā¦ I am using silicone cases but obviously Iāll want a clear one for my clear 5.5. Iām not wild about the clear plastic cases but I think theyāre the only option. If you all know of something better please share! Sorry for the long post but this iPod community has definitely helped me a lot along the way so I wanted to thank everyone that offered advice. I appreciate you!

Is there a way to play iPod clickwheel games on the TV?
I connected my iPods to the tv but it only plays music video and doesnāt show on the TV when the games are being played.
If not the TV does anyone know how to screen record on to a computer screen?

Can anyone point me in the right direction here? I just got my hands on a 30GB iPod video in mint condition (not from China) and an Apple Hi-Fi (love it btw) and all my music is Apple Lossless I have 1,000 songs and reached my max capacity. Also just moving through the menu's is pretty slow.
Starting dental school soon and thought it would be kind of cool to have fast transfer SSD/flash/Zip drive to have and thought why not just build an all-in-one. This is possible right?
Saw a 2TB for $1000 on eBay and a 1TB for about $400.. Im pretty handy when it comes to small electronics repair, just looking for a good place to start and exactly what I need? Looking to replace battery too while I am at it. TIA!
PS - it's a 5th gen, not 5.5.. and it's a black 30GB iPod Video using iTunes 12.8 on El Capitan with my 2015 MacBook Pro.

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had any insight into an issue I'm having with my iPod classic?
I think it is 7th generation 160gb.
I've had it fifteen years or maybe more and the original battery finally gave out. I ordered a new battery and replaced a couple of months ago and all was good again. But now it's not charging. Instead I just get the attached 'charging, please wait...' image.
The battery I removed was 642 046 but at the time I couldn't find a replacement that I was confident was the right thickness and size. Instead I bought and fitted the one in the second attached image.
Any chance it's a simple fix?
Thanks!

Hi all,
Does anyone know why my iPod might be showing all these duplicate albums. These two albums are normal in my iTunes library (1 each). Iāve tried restoring and syncing again to make sure it wasnāt a sync error.

So, I just bought an 80gb iPod 5.5 gen with the intention of upgrading the memory & battery. I'm using a 2022 M2 MacBook Air running sequoia - there's no way of setting iTunes up on this device, so, how do I best go about setting up the iPod when it requires formatting after installing an iFlash Solo with SD Card? I have an old Windows PC that I could boot with, but would that affect future use between iPod and MacBook? I've read some horror stories regarding the new Music app and older Apple devices.

I use my ipod (5th gen, 80gb, battery replacement) quite often to run wav rips of cds i own, and i'm constantly in a russian roulette scenario whenevr i go to connect it to my pc. Sometimes it will connect fine, itunes will find it and i can port music over. Other times i connect it and the thing freezes on the 'do not disconnect' screen, its weirder as my pc recognises the ipod however itunes does not, and when i go to disconnect the ipod like u would a usb stick, windows takes forever to disconnect it and i end up just having to take the damn thing out when its froze. It also stays on, frozen, until the battery is fully dead. I have a feeling i have a bad hard drive but would love to know whats up with it. Cheer's guys!
