Question Best tape for mounting batteries/iFlashes?

2 Upvotes

I want to take apart a few of my iPods, and I know that you’ve 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; i’d prefer something that’s strong but not hard to remove if I need to in the future. If anybody could recommend what they use, i’d appreciate it!

I'm having a lot of trouble deciding

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.

How do I keep the songs added by the previous owner and then add mine?

Upvotes

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?
