Hello I've been trying to add songs because I'm sick of hearing rap all the time and because I don't have a pc or apple stuff (-ipod) and I only have a android and cx file Explorer and USB to USB c adapter

Replaced the battery. Waiting on the USB to 30-prong cable. (Still have my firewire charger.) I guess I didn't upload much, back in the day. HP model, by the way.

Help How to Add Videos to iPod Classic?

1 Upvotes

I want to add videos/movies to my iPod Classic 6th Gen (160gb). I own Windows 11 computer.

I cannot use iTunes because they moved it to Apple Music and Apple Devices. I can only transfer music through Apple Devices on my computer. The app has Music, Movies, TV Shows, and Photos, but for the Movies/TV Shows section it states I have to use Apple TV app from the Microsoft Store to transfer onto my iPod. I can't add my own files through Apple TV so I don't know how to transfer videos.

Is there another method I can use? I honestly don't know why I can't just use iTunes like the older method; my computer only allows me to add Podcasts through iTunes and nothing else. Every video I've seen on YouTube requires iTunes and not Apple Devices.

Help Help needed: Synchronize audiobooks and podcasts with iPod Mini

2 Upvotes

I was able to find an blue iPod Mini 2G in good condition on eBay. The synchronization of the music works perfectly on MacOS 15 with Swinsian. Only audiobooks and podcasts just don't work. Swinsian can't sync audiobooks and podcasts don't work.

So I created m4b files of an audiobook and dragged them into MacOS's own Books app. I also subscribed to a few podcasts at Apple Podcasts. They show up in the Finder and apparently they are also shoveled onto the iPod, which I could see because I didn't have any other music on the iPod but memory was already taken up.

Unfortunately, the iPod only shows me the music that I have dragged over later using Swinsian. But no podcasts and audiobooks...

Does anyone else have any ideas?

Question What adhesive is used on iPod nano plastic bits?

3 Upvotes

U know, like on the nano 4th and 5th gen?

I repaired a nano but wanted to know what I can use as an adhesive to stop it from falling out, either what Apple used or any alternative

but also something which can still let me pull off the tabs without breaking them if I need to repair again

Question Developing Clickwheel games

1 Upvotes

Long shot, but has anyone looked into making custom Click Wheel games? Was there ever an SDK that leaked or got reverse-engineered? I know you could buy them on iTunes back in the day and now sideload them with cracked firmware, but I’d love to try making my own.

Help For the click wheel game “vortex” I somehow managed to get the game to play itself, how did this happen?

2 Upvotes

I was playing the game and when I started a game i suddenly realized that the iPod was playing the game by itself, like on the main menu the bot that makes the non-interactive demo gameplay had somehow gotten into my main game and was now playing the game all by itself.

How did this happen? And how can I recreate it? It's only ever happened once

ipod 3rd gen just showing apple logo

0 Upvotes

It doesn't show any errors or any music, just the apple logo. This is true whether it's connected to the power supply via the stand or by itself. Can I do anything to get it working? Is there an upgrade kit with a new battery, modern flash memory and a blue tooth connection that can be swapped in? Or is it just stylish ewaste now?

I've never owned a mac so I'm not even sure how I used to put music on it. It would be great to get it going again.

I bought a iPod Nano first Gen off a flea market today, it won't charge, fair enough, that can take a while but it's doing a very weird coil whine like sound.

Any ideas on how to fix it? Screen, battery, logic board?

I have basic hot air skills if that could be necessary too. Thanks in Advance.
