Any AirPods with the H2 chip (Pro 2 & 3, Regular 4 & 5) won't work with older Bluetooth devices, even though they should, as Bluetooth 5 (heck even Bluetooth 6) is backward capable. AirPods 3 worked perfectly with 7th gen nano, solving the low volume issue of the OG AirPods model. I reported the bug to Apple, detailing what works and what doesn't. I am not holding my breath, just submitted it out of principal. :)

Just finished this bad boy up. Has Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity, 128gb (since it’s limited on the 6th gen, even though there is a workaround), Taptic Engine mod, and a 3000mah battery.

I do have kit on the way to me to swap out the 30 pin for a USB-C, allowing charging, data, and even music pass through.

I have quite a few 5th and 6th gens I’m considering modding up similar and offering up if enough interest.

I am also considering making a guide as to how to fit all this in a Slim back model. Not a huge fan of thick back. It would include a list of what mods work with what others and how to make this all work in a thin model.

Got the classic 6th gen fully restored and modded

- Rockbox OS

- HDD swapped with DualSD adapter with 128gb microsd

- Battery of iphone xs with BMS swap, 1350 mah

- New front plate with matching clickwheel

I love this thing, almost two decades later and it runs phenomenally. Ive replaced my phone when I go outside entirely and I use it especially in the gym or on runs. Old apple was something else.

Was doing a faceplate replacement on an iPod I thrifted awhile back. All was going smoothly until i accidentally pulled out the battery connector while trying to put it back together… is there hope? I can still see 8 prongs sticking out of the board where the connector was. On the actual connector I see a bit of metal sticking out of it. Anything I can try myself or do I just take it to an electronics repair shop or am I genuinely just cooked?

Hey everyone,

During a repair, I accidentally damaged the CF hard drive cable on my iPod mini. Where could I get a new one? I'm seeing listings on AliExpress, but I don't know if that's a reputable source.

Thanks!

Picture of my DankishPod for tax. I haven't dropped it to my memory but starting tonight there's something rattling in there SOMETIMES and then it goes away. Like idk if there's a magnet in there or something but it feels like something has come loose. It cane modded so I'm wondering if some tape or smth unstuck.

Now, the iPod is still working flawlessly. It's charging. Battery isn't draining. Click wheel is responsive and screen isn't acting up.

Do you guys think it's worth opening it up to find out what's wrong?

PS: anyone else pumped for those sprout boards?? I signed up for updates.

Sometimes, my iPod won't detect my SD Card and thinks it corrupted when in reality, the SD Card just wasn't connected all suddenly.

it's battery isn't even dead

I have multiple ipods (6) syncing on my itunes im trying to buld a playlist with all of them why are these duplicating?thank you!!

Just got this 2nd gen mini, loving it so far. I paid $45 and the seller replaced the battery for me.

Made me laugh, thought I'd share.

So I’m currently building a desktop app called DarkTunes, a modern music/video app with iPod support, so I can manage my library and sync my iPods without Getting blinded everything I open iTunes.

It supports local music, Jellyfin and Navidrome, plus syncing to Apple, Rockbox and Mac-formatted iPods. You can also copy music back to your PC, back up the iPod, and customise its displayed appearance and capacity for modded devices. It also has multiple built in themes with the option to make your own!!

I’m currently adding video browsing, playback, conversion and iPod syncing. Would a photos section be useful too?

Does anyone still put photos on their iPod? Would you use something that lets you browse, add and copy photos back off it or is that a feature most people wouldn’t bother with?

Mind you I’ve had this for the past 5 years and never had any issues, the reason why I’m asking is because I got this crack above the touch wheel and wondering if that’s pressure from the battery? It holds a charge for about 3 hours

Nothing like playing GBA and listening to my iPod. Lol

hello i just bought an ipod nano 2nd generation and the screen won’t turn on unless it’s plugged in, everything else works fine though, what should i do, is it battery related, and should i buy a new battery and take it to get it repaired?

I know Eoe has them for 60 but there has to be one for cheaper. Also, I know that 5th gen screens are not compatible.

The installation completed successfully, and the program shows that it was installed correctly. But after checking the settings and software version, there are no changes at all—no Dark Mode and no equalizer, so I don't get it. Can anyone help me out?

The equally ancient stereo has ipod connect 🙂 There’s even a button called ZAP that picks a random song off the ipod.

These kinds of cables are sold on AliExpress + EOE. They claim to be able to charge FireWire style off a special USB-30 pin cable (charge only). Do these actually work as well as real FireWire in terms of charging/reviving an iPod?

Anyone know if airpods 4 work on the 7th gen ipod touch? I have a pair of airpods 4 and wanna get a new ipod but want one thatll connect to my airpods, thanks yall
