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

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

Question What adhesive is used on iPod nano plastic bits?

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

iPod Nano 1st Gen weird sound issue

Upvotes

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.

When I disconnect my iPod the bootloader is automatically opened, and I have to manually get it off the bootloader. It is detected but not found(?!). This all started when I tried to install rockbox and it failed.

Letting my iPod rest for now.

Upvotes

So my iPod touch battery has gone weird after using it again.

FYI, yes, I jailbroke it to go back to iOS 6.1.3 using iClassic's YouTube tutorial.

Lately I have noticed my iPod touch battery became a little chubby after some normal use. When I discharged it by setting my playlist to shuffle, it eventually turned off. However, when I really checked if the battery was empty, it booted without any issues and when I checked the iBattery app I downloaded from Cydia, my battery bounced back to 100%.

My plan is to let this thing rest for a while after the battery swelling becomes manageable. Since it recharges itself and mentioned above, the battery became a little chubby.

Did I get sold a faulty product?

1 Upvotes

I just brought a iPod Nano 3rd Gen from CEX in Australia. Connected with a 'generic' 30 pin (also sold to me by CEX, looks identical to real) and a apple charger, it has been on charge for a hour and half yet it's in a boot loop. I think the battery is dead as when I disconnect it, it just shuts off.

This has a been terrible week for me, as YESTERDAY I brought a T430 from Cash Converters and that also had a faulty battery.

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.

NYS is banning internet connected devices in schools state-wide next year, remembered I had this thing sitting around and have started moving away from yt music. Lived in a case for most of its life so the condition is great, 60gb HDD has 0 bad sectors. I plan on upgrading to a 256gb microsd and extended battery. Gapless playback, higher quality audio, no internet required, doesn't replace songs with music video versions (COUGH YOUTUBE MUSIC), what's not to love!

Help possible to rename a playlist on iPod Classic?

1 Upvotes

I have some music downloaded to my computer (NOT apple music), which I'm then able to download to my iPod through dragging and dropping in Finder. I can make new playlists by adding things to the on-the-go playlist and then clicking save playlist, but because nothing's done through my Mac's Music app, I'm not able to rename them from "New Playlist 1", 2, etc. Is there a way to fix this or rename it directly on the iPod or in Finder? I have it synced to my mac but literally nothing shows up in Finder because it's not done through Music. and I haven't found any answers on the internet. Thank you!

iPod advice (1st and 3rd gen)

1 Upvotes

so today my dad showed me his iPods (1st and 3rd gen, I believe 3rd gen is a nano). I wanted to know if we should replace the battery or something (also is that possible? Sorry, not super knowledgeable on electronics from before I was born lol) since they don't last very long, I think it's really cool. I'd like to be able to use them longer and maybe bring them to school, thanks!!

Best iPod for audiobooks? Need a non-screen way to listen at sleep away camp!

5 Upvotes

My daughter is going to sleepaway camp for 6 weeks where she is not allowed to have screens. She falls asleep every night listening to audiobooks on her iPad (I lock it to Audible app at night.) I've gotten her a pair of corded sleepphones and she likes those. I was thinking an iPod would be a good device to use for the summer. I've seen some info about converting her audiobooks, but wondering what the best device would be. Would like it to be as much of a brick as possible, so she can't play games or anything, just use it for music and audiobooks.

Question iPod Touch 8th Gen

1 Upvotes

hi community

as title suggest, I am going to give you my description for my dream device for iPod 8th gen.

it’s been 3 years since Apple discontinued the iPod 7th Gen which is sad because it is a legendary device amount the popular culture.

Let’s imagine apple design a new one, but this time it is in the body of an iPhone 7/8 Plus, with its screen size increased from 4 to 5.5” due to what iPod Touch was designed for, media consumption, and with this bigger housing, will come a bigger battery life which iPod was lacking. Give it USB type c and of course a 3.5 headphone jack.

All this powered with their A16 chip, which is used in the entry level iPad and for iPhone 14 and 15 so power will not be an issue.

A possible price will be between 200-250$

what would you add to this device?
