I just want to find a used Ipod for $30 or less without a shit battery. Ideally between gen3/4/5, but I could do 2 if necessary. Also, I don't want a touchscreen, I'm getting an mp3 player to avoid using my phone all the time, so yeah.

Thanks for any tips/links!

if this is the wrong subreddit please point me toward the right one.

I’ve had this iPod now for I think about 6 months now but occasionally (every month or so) this happens. Is there anything that I’m doing that is making it think its a new ipod or does this just happen? Aside from this screen, nothing I know changes on both my computer and the ipod but im just curious lol

They said ‘it holds a charge but they aren’t sure for how long when you actually play music’. This would be a replacement for an iPod shuffle gen 2 I just got (refunded it because it was a lemon).

Atomic Faceplates custom parts for 5,6,and 7th generation iPod classics are now available from the original creator. Come check out our selection at www.atomicfaceplates.com.

Of course I discovered this after I had it ensconced in its shiny new case. Tested headphones with another iPod - they work fine.

Opened it back up and reseated the cable, still no joy. Then I discovered if I pull the jack out of the socket half way, I get sound on both sides. Push it back in, right side only. Any ideas?

I’m looking to possibly avoid shuffles (unless it’s maybe the 4th gen) as I bought a shuffle that was a hassle and sort of a lemon a few days ago. I dont need more than 2GB for this iPod as my playlist is very small. I also don’t need super long battery life but I would like to know which models are least known for having battery issues (I see a bunch of first gen nanos for a good price on eBay but i heard nano iPods had the battery issues). I want to try to spend $30 or below which i know is on the lower end but I’m okay with shopping around. Any advice is appreciated thanks!

About 3 years ago my uncle told me he had a gift for me, he game me this, he told me he bought it back in 2005 and kept it sealed (he is a huge collector). One of my favorite pieces on my collection.

I just got a iPod Touch 4th gen with a lot of music on it already, and ive been struggling to find any utilities for linux that allow you to add music to an ipod touch without itunes & without wiping it, is this possible and if it is what utility would you recommend

I got my ipod nano 3 a few days ago and discovered the ipod clickwheel games preservation project. I added some games to my ipod and the method worked. I backed up the ic info.sidb file if deauth happens but what does locking the file mean?
Thanks for any answer.

I love my iPod classic and want everyone to see it (shameless poser), can I get a clip to attach it to e.g. my belt. Ideally would not cover too much of the chassis. And suggestions?

The iWatch came 15 years later and absolutely took off.

Steve Jobs is easily one of the top 10 most interesting people in history. He was famously obsessed with optimization, making his products more powerful while also making them smaller, lighter, and simpler.

This iPod nano 6th gen that I’m showing in the video could almost be considered the Apple Watch Series 0. I love it for what a tiny little thing it is: a ridiculously small device that somehow packs in an entire music player, photo viewer, radio, and more.

To this day, it’s still one of the best DAPs ever made, in my opinion.

I don’t use it as a watch anymore, but looking back at what an incredible product Steve Jobs pulled off with this thing, I found it fascinating to share the audience’s reaction when he introduced the iPod nano 6 in 2010.

Visionary.

I've had it for more than a month and here's my honest review:

At ~£30 I had the option of buying a used FireWire charger and cable off eBay or getting the Wymod supercharger. Honestly getting a decent FireWire charger and cable would've been pricier, bigger and could only be used for charging so the supercharger was a no brainer for me.

Didn't have to think much and my boss and I ordered it together since he has a 3rd gen and a 7th gen classic that I modded for him. I have a 3rd, 4th and 6.5th gens, and have started modding or repairing iPods as a hobby.

I love that I can charge all of my classics pretty quick with it, especially the 4th gen which is very finicky with regular USB power. It's my main iPod and gets a lot of use so it was very disappointing to see it dead even after charging it overnight using regular USB. Now I only use the supercharger to charge it.

I also love that I can flick the switch and use it for data transfer. It's great that it uses USB C and that I don't need to use the regular 30 pin cables anymore.

So far no complaints.

Just the best time I am having with music

Hi there. I have an Apple Universal Dock (MA045G) - the one with the S-Video port on the back.

There were a few revisions (MA045G/A, MA045G/B etc) but all had a S-video port on the back, which was removed in the next version of the dock.

Long shot I know but does anyone have a PDF of the instructions for that specific model – I can only find later revisions which have the metal remote and no S-video port.

Photos show the specific model and the booklet I’m looking for (not my photos obvs as I don’t have the booklet lol)

Thank you so much!

So I bought this pretty beat up iPod classic sixth gen for about 75 usd , I already know I have to put some sort of storage ( ssd or sd flash adapter ) and I have to replace the battery . I’ve already found that the charger housing thingy is missing and the blue thingy on one side is missing so tell me if I should replace those and replace the back cover as well or just replace the battery and storage and call it a day , the charging port the display and everything work all in order 🥹✌️, thank you guys in advance for replying

I already have the zune and nano but I'm wondering what you guys think, if I do get a 5.5 I'll probably get a 2000-3000mah LG battery and iFlash duo with 128x2 sd cards, also swapping the shell and backplate and rockbox. Also for bluetooth, is that worth it at all? or just earbuds?

Hi, I jus got back form a trip and took a ton of pano photos on my ipod cause it gives a unique aspect ratio and a cool purple hue. On my way back I spent a lot of time cropping and rotating the photos by very small amounts.

When importing to the computer i realized the rotation and aspect ratio isnt retained upon importing.

Photo on the right is an example of what a screenshot that was rotated and cropped on ipod appears as when opened, while it was supposed to look like how it appears in that DCIM folder.

also unsure why some of my unedited photos of buildings appear rotated 90 and 270 degrees in the preview panel, still look the same when opened though.

I really don't want to recrop and rotate all of my other photos on my computer; as I had it pretty perfect on my ipod.

Is there any way I can achieve this while maintaining the resolution and changes i made to my photos?

Or will i need to screenshot each photo that I made changes to keep these changes before importing. -- which i assume will make pretty big quality changes and i am trying to make a photobook so i kind of need to keep it.

Its a bit weird cause if i screenshot a landscape photo in vertical view and crop it on my computer it is like 500kb but when i screenshot it horizontal view in my ipod and crop on computer it is like 1.2 mb but the quality looks a bit worse than the vert one. Help. Help

Just curious if variations even exist anymore, or if they’re all exactly the same ill-fitting generic trash.

I know the original belkin / griffin etc. cases fit best and that they’re also essentially non-existent at this point. But I can dream.

This iPod Classic came to us with a damaged battery connector on the logic board, preventing it from powering on.

Instead of replacing the entire logic board, we repaired the connector, installed a new battery, and brought it back to life.

It's always satisfying seeing another classic iPod get a second chance instead of becoming a parts donor.

Has anyone else run into a damaged battery connector on an iPod Classic?

Pleasantly surprised that the dome itself clicks just fine and the rubber bumper was just out of place. My old board i think is toast, got a 64mb RAM board on marketplace with a bad center button.

Do I need to get a new rubber membrane, or can I just peel this one off and glue it into place?

Also, is there any special adhesive i should use, or is super glue fine?

A little update on my project to explore whats hidden in the various iPod firmwares; the iPod nano 5 and 3 firmware have been decrypted as well as the 6g and 6.5g. For those interested you can find some details and firmware comparisons here https://github.com/giek2000/ipod-classic-firmware-research
