    Hey, here’s some questions. For the gen 1 or 2 iPod classic, I know upgrading to a ssd isn’t possible or convenient. So let’s say if i used a hdd from a new iPod would that work? And would let’s say a 128gb one would work? Also, I was also thinking of swapping the internals of a 4th gen iPod...

    iPod Do you still use a non-touch iPod

    I do! I use a 2008 iPod nano that I found for $11. It has 8GB of storage, in the yellow color, and gets 4 hours of battery consistently.

    iPod Connections and restorations

    Is anybody else having trouble with iPods like the Nano 3 staying connected? I also had to jump through hoops to restore an iPod Classic 5G. These work fine on older systems.

    iPod Classic no longer syncs with Ventura 13.2?

    The last two security updates of MacOS Big Sur have cause my sync settings in Apple Music to reset (from sync checked songs to Manual) and when I change the setting back to manual, Music says it must remove the library from my IPod classic to sync the new library causing days of resyncing from...

    iPod iPod Nano 1st Generation click wheel unresponsive.

    Recently found my iPod Nano 1st generation (4gb model). Software does not register clicks. The reset thing works, so I'm moderately confident it's not a hardware problem. I have disassembled the iPod (that was hell 😓) and reconnected all cables. I have also tried installing RockBox, to no avail...
