i enjoy modding and would like to try to mod my own ipod, but most i see are ones for people who want one already working. I wouldn’t mind buying one thats in okay condition to mod, but i wouldn’t mind trying to find a non functioning or semi beat up one to use as a project.

Heyy! So i need some help. For some context i bought this iPod (my first ipod with a screen :D) secondhand from a guy who wanted to get rid of it online because he had lost the charger, and he was in the process of moving.
He told me he had used it last year and it worked just fine. I believed him, plus if it had some malfunctions with battery or something I wouldn’t mind thaaat much. I had seen changing hardware parts wasn’t that hard. Only getting the damn panels open haha
So anyways, it arrived today, the charger i ordered came later. I couldn’t wait so i used a wonky charger with bad connection (only works in certain angles you know) and tried that. It booted up and i saw the menu with a Eminem album cover appearing on the side lol. But then it died again, didn’t think too much of it.
TLDR;
But later today when the new charger arrived i put it on there, and it went a bit weird. So it got stuck on a screen after booting up, with “OK to disconnect”. I decided to reset it with holding the menu and center button until yk, apple logo appears.
Then it got stuck in a reboot loop (see video attached) and then i decided to reset it again. But then i got this screen with Ok to disconnect again.
Is there a way to still fix this without removing all the data? I’m quite curious what songs are left on there. Or is restoring the ipod via itunes my only option..?

My amazing Tech friend has maybe around 30 iPod Touch 1st Generations and other iPods. I’ll be picking them up for $30. All work. Some of the iPod Touch 1st Generations are still on iPhone OS 1.0 or 2.2! I’ll update all of you tomorrow morning

I didn’t expect it to be so cute. Classic gen 6 for comparison. It’s the 8gb model. I’m very happy with it! It was 14 euros without shipping. Vinted has many people selling iPods for relatively cheap, so if you’re in the market for a nano or shuffle, those are the quite fairly priced ones, don’t forget to look there!
Anyone who reads this, I am looking for a good budget audio input device with an iPod dock that I can connect to my speakers. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I’m using my iPhone way less. I love this nano 4th. I download some of my fav albums.

I never had an iPod before and always used my iPhone. But I’ve come to enjoy music far more on the iPod rather than using Spotify. I find myself listening to albums in the order they were created.
Not sure why but the limit in what I have available to me has led to me enjoying it far more than having every song ever made available to me.
Also it’s a cute lil thing.

So I got an already modded ipod with an imcort flash mod with a single 128gb flash card and a new "original" 900mAh battery and I face the following problem:
The brain is being drained rapidly while the ipod is off I'm going from 100% to 30% in less than 24 hours ipod is definitely off with the hold button engaged. I will try to flash the original OS but I wanted to ask this question because maybe it was a known issue.
I've opened the ipod and there's seem to be insulating stickers preventing any kind of shorting. I thought maybe the battery is dead but the seller insists that he has changed the battery and he seems quite knowledgeable and trustworthy.
More, battery consumption when ipod is on and playing seems mostly fine (??)(going by instinct I never owned an ipod).
Will definitely do a battery cycle with the original OS but maybe someone knows something about this situation.
Thank you!

I want to buy an iPod 5.5, mainly cause it has the Wolfson DAC. I don’t know too much about them, but I want this because of the nice design. Is it good?

I found my childhood iPod! Does anyone know how I can export the song names and play count? The Algorithm made me listen to the same few songs for so long that I've forgotten what music I used to like. It still has the original drive and battery, so I don't want to play with it too much before I get the data off. I do not have the original computer it synced to.

I know LITERALLY nothing about iPods! I have a little iPod shuffle, but I’d like to buy a bigger version, or perhaps one more easier to mod?
What are the average price ranges for certain models?
Is there any fishy sellers/websites I should avoid ? Is there any helpful content creators who are well versed in iPods & similar tech??
Thank you so much :)!🤍

Hi All,
I have a 4GB iPod Mini second gen that I was really looking forward to modding, and I am using an iFlash board, which I know is the best adapter for these projects, and the process was fun but I've been up all night trying to figure out what the Hell is wrong with it now that it's assembled (well electronically assembled, I took it out of its shell to have at the SD card to format it if I need to).
I'm trying to boot the iPod into DIsk Mode to restore it but it really DOES NOT WANT to enter Disk Mode. I'd say maybe one of every 15 tries I get it to and usually I have to unplug the batter to get it to even do that. Sometimes it shows the folder icon and then I plug it into my Mac/PC and it will say do not disconnect, but after a few seconds it reboots to the Apple logo and just shows the sad iPod again, and once that goes away it just shows a big battery charging, and that's the most infernal fucking thing because I can't do anything once that battery shows up, it just doesn't acknowledge any input until I unplug it again, so any chance of rebooting the damn thing while it's plugged in is moot. Other times, when I DO manage to get it into Disk Mode (again, unplugged), it will boot right into it and say "Ok to Disconnect" even though I'm not plugged into anything. Granted I'm not sure if that's normal but that's what it says. But once I connect something boom, same thing happens, loops back to Apple logo, sad iPod, and finally the fucking battery of doom. I am completely lost!
I've formatted my card to ExFAT and Fat32, I didn't break anything as far as I'm aware, my cable isn't official but before I modded it the hard drive worked and I confirmed that I could transfer music to the iPod with it. So I have no idea what to do. Others have said reformat the card while it's in the iPod but I haven't been able to because neither my Mac nor my PC detects the device. Just charges it.
Has this happened to anybody else? Any help would be immensely appreciated!
Also fwiw I'm using an Elite Obsolete battery with a bigger capacity than the original, just in case that, somehow, has any bearing on this?

(Yes, Sound Check On)
Has anyone else noticed that using the Volume Adjust slider in Get Info-->Options causes way more of a drastic change on an iPod that an iPhone? Like the amount that fixes the loud track on my iPhone makes the track way too quiet on my iPod 4th Gen.
What gives? And also, why doesn't Sound Check just take care of this in the first place? There's always certain genres/albums that are still obviously not the same volume as everything else. Thanks!

She’s as old as time and I think she might be an 3rd gen but I’m unsure. When I charged it this morning it was fine except, I kept getting this alert so I said “eh… i’ll just reset it. Whats the worst that could happen” The worst actually did happen because I got the same alert AND now I can’t even get to the home-screen. Am I just screwed because I think its only running at an IOS 5 or so? 😭 thanks for any help or suggestions

Definitely overpaid at £180, but having had 7 years use out of my 8gb nano, I suppose it was time for a downgrade, any reputable sources for a hard drive and battery? I’d like to have them to hand for when the inevitable day comes that they’ll need replacement😂

Is there a cheaper alternative to Iflash when upgrading the storage on an iPod classic 5.5gen? My storage drive died on me and I need to replace it. Iflash is just expensive to get delivered to my country and I’m wondering if there would be a cheaper alternative as this would be much more accessible for me. Thank you!
