    iPod MSATA iPod 5th generation

    I got a new mSATA ZIF adapter and a formatted SSD card. This is the second one, and it does not work in any of my iPod Classics. It says to connect to the computer for a restore, but it never shows up on my MacBook Pro. Then, it does not appear in the Finder window; it says "Don't disconnect."...

    iPod iPod only partially loading audiobooks

    My iPod Classic has always successfully loaded the 40-odd audiobooks that I have purchased in my iTunes. But I recently synced it, and now it is only putting about 10 of the audiobooks on the iPod and leaving all the others off. There is plenty of room available on the iPod drive, I have the...

    iPod Can the iPod Classic be used with a USB-C DAC/AMP?

    I have a QLS MUB1 DAC&AMP, and I found that its size matches the iPod Classic perfectly, so I tried to get someone to help me make a 30-pin to USC cable, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure if the cable needs some special treatment or if some adjustments are needed on the DAC&AMP end...

    iPod Bluetooth with flashed iPod 7th Gen

    So I've been trying out bluetooth transmitters for this iPod, and I'm having mixed results. I use Airpods 3. First device, connected by 30 pin, sort of worked, but was soo loud and I couldn't turn the volume down. Refunded for that. Second device, connected by AUX, which I'm using right now...

    iPod How can I remotely control iPod classic on a mobile device?

    I have the last generation of iPod classic 160G, and it stores my entire music library. I am using it as a Digital Source device in my home Hi-Fi system. Ipod's scroll-wheel control is quite convenient and fast when browsing music, but I have to hold it in my hand if I want to manipulate it. I...

    iPod Manually manage music on iPod Classic with Big Sur

    I've upgraded my Mac and now have a new M1 running Big Sur, and now I've realised that iTunes has been removed. I also have an old iPod Classic. On my old Mac I would manually manage the music, I'd copy something into iTunes, move it to the iPod and then the iTunes version might well get...

    iPod New iPod Classic for its 20th anniversary in October 2021

    It would certainly be a pleasant surprise to see some sort of non-Touch homage to the original iPod this year. A click wheel just can't be replaced and it's uncomfortable to control a touchscreen device when working out/commuting/just having it in your pocket. Headphone jack adapters are a...

    iPod 3rd Gen iPod Charging Question.

    Hey, I just bought a 'for parts' 3rd generation iPod on eBay for a good price, (I've always wanted to own this model, and I am fairly confident that I can fix it, since I think it just needs a HDD swap). I have done it before with an iPod photo, which turned out just to have the data cable...

    iPod Updating the iPod 5G UI with iPod Wizard

    Hey everyone. I got my hands on an iPod 5G (iPod Video), replaced the battery, put in a new SD Card, and it’s been great. The interface is just dated compared to other Apple products so I’m trying to update it to look more like Apple Music. I’ve gone through some wacky lengths to achieve this...

    iPod Audible on iPod Classic?

    Hey everyone... I have an old 160gb iPod Classic that I'd like to use as a vault for all my Audible purchases, one that can actually play the books. Is this possible? If so, any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    iPod Classic Sync Frozen

    I had the misfortune of upgrading to Catalina and have been frozen for the past two hours or so trying to sync my iPod Classic. iTunes is no more so it syncs in a Finder window, even though the sync option is in "Music". Anyway it's been rotating ceaselessly for a long time now with no change...

    I recently replaced the 20GB hard drive in an iPod 4G clickwheel with an IDE to CF adapter, CF to SD card adapter, and a 128GB SDXC card. I also decided to replace the original battery because, why not?, it's 15 years old. But I'm now wondering if the battery replacement was necessary. On the...
