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.

I just got an iPod classic and when I plug it in this pops out. What does this mean and how can I fix it. I’m a noob

We have

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.

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?

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

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

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. :)

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?

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?

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.

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

Hi. I’m running into a weird bug with the PictureFlow plugin on my 5th Gen iPod Video (iFlash 256GB, 3000mAh) and I'm wondering if anyone has a workaround.

​The issue: Every time I rebuild the PictureFlow cache, the album art loads perfectly for 99% of my library, except for the very first entries in the list.

When I sort by Artist, my very first artist alphabetically is Alice in Chains. Out of their 5 albums, only 1 shows the cover art, the other 4 don't exist. If I scroll past them to the rest of the alphabet, every single cover works flawlessly.

​I can rebuild the cache an infinite amount of times but the problem is still there.

​All my files are FLACs organized.

​Has anyone experienced this specific issue where only the top of the list loses its artwork? Any fixes to force the cache to read them properly? Thanks!

Hello i finally got a working iPod Wallahi !

The iPod touch doesn’t accept iCloud or email or anything, I don’t know what to do with it except put my music and listen, id like to get a little bit more from the iPod touch, open to advice/suggestions

The iPod classic 5 needs a motherboard and it seems to be a costly affair i used it for a solid 6 months before the charging /power io just overheats every-time and dies
Its like Holding the power of the sun in the palm of my hand
I don’t know how to get a cost efficient repair done in India

The ipod nano 3rd gen needs a new battery to be soldered thats it.

Pls help out open to advice.

I've been trying to resurrect my 3rd gen Nano but can't find the issue or how to fix it. I reseated the ribbons but the result is the same.

It doesn't do a "double beep", which I've read it's a faulty screen. The battery is most certainly dead, but even after being connected for a good while it stays like this. You can hear a "click", like the ones from interacting with the wheel.

Does anybody know if it might be something more serious? I don't want to commit to buying and soldering a new battery if it's a faulty motherboard. x_x

Tysm! 💜

Please help!

Reckon this will do? The party is only two hours and I'm not going to bring any of my more expensive pods. Mum just once music and she sent me a track list.

My mom had gotten it from an industry convention years ago and never used it (had a different iPod in use). I've been looking for my old classic to no avail so I begged to have this one when I found it lol. Let's hope it boots up well!

Hi - Tonight I found my 2005 iPod Mini 2nd Gen (plus the charger thank god). I'd stored it away within its first year because I lost most of my hearing in one ear. Converting all my music to mono got very tedious and just didn't sound the same. I now have bone connecting cochlear headphones :) and have a Bluetooth thing to connect iPod to them. Oh, when I plugged iPod to the charger the battery still had 1/4 charge !! 20 years in a drawer. And the battery seems fine. Been listening for 4 hours by now and it's only 1/2 used. I realize that probably won't last. BUT -- I'd like to move some music off and on. I have a Windows 10 laptop and a Windows 11 laptop. Doing some research online led me to this advice:

1) Avoid the Microsoft store iTunes version, and if it's already installed, uninstall. Avoid the Apple Devices app. They both usually don't have legacy iPod drivers.

2) Install the "classic standalone installer" directly from Apple. This automatically installs the necessary iPod USB drivers.

I checked the links here, and this advice I've gotten might be at odds with the links list, given the first link is to Microsoft store for iTunes. Before I start this process, can anyone tell me if the above advice is good or not? I've further advice about moving music off of the iPod (finding the hidden files in order to delete them) from the same source, but I just want to start with adding.

Thank you so much!

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.

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!

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.

it's battery isn't even dead
