I am trying to export photos and videos from my ipod but it just says please unlock ipod touch, when it is unlocked. Ive tried restarting my computer and the ipod but it doesn’t work. I can export fine with my other ipod .

I found my old ipod 5.5gen in a drawer. It turned on but had the sad ipod symbol on the screen and the hard drive was clicking. So that got me looking in to modding/upgrading tutorials on YouTube.

I grabbed a Samsung Pro 256GB MicroSD card, an iFlash Quad, with two additional hard drive ribbon cables. And a 3000mah battery from ebay - although I'm questioning if this thing fits in the 30GB model of the 5.5 - it doesn't seem to - but that's a separate issue.

I formatted the SD Card per several videos I found. Rebuilt MBR, deleted partition(s), created new Fat32 partition. Easy stuff.

I popped out the old hard drive and zif ribbon cable and installed the iFlash. Everything seems to be inserting properly. Seems like the same amount of cable into the connector on the mobo as the original cable (although the lines on the cables as a depth gauge are vastly different - a lot more length on the iFlash cable).

When I connect everything up and turn the ipod on, I get the "Connect to your computer, Use iTunes to restore." message.

But when I connect a cable to my PC - it first says Do Not Disconnect, but then quickly changes to OK to disconnect and my PC pops up a message saying the device was not recognized.

I have pulled the card out and reformatted it. It is recognized fine when plugged into an external card reader.

I have tried the original hard drive cable and both iFlash cables, to no avail.

When I go into diagnositcs mode on the iPod, the HD SMART info shows nothing. But if I do HD Info, it shows Total LBA as 268435455, but Total Size: 127GB - which is interesting since it's a 256GB card (which I read ahead of time was possible).

I have also plugged the card into different slots on the iFlash Quad.

What else should I try? My first modding experience is not going so well. :-/

Hey, I hope someone can help me. I bought an iFlash Solo v1 for my iPod Classic 5th Gen (Model MA002), but I can’t get it to work. I’ve formatted the SDXC card multiple times to ExFAT and FAT32. After about 50 attempts to format it and trying 4 different SDXC cards, I managed to get to the restore screen, but the iPod freezes after about 5 seconds and doesn’t proceed further. The original HDD works perfectly. Iflash is brand new.

I’m hoping someone has an idea of what else I could try.

I got a thick back ipod case which i plan to add a few cool stuff into it, but ill need to add holes so they can be in their place and be usable of course. What do you think would be the easiest way to make a hole that would be clean and not ugly looking?

Got one (with a replaced battery) a year ago. Just trying to get an idea of how long I might have on this wonderful nostalgia trip before it's jar time 🥹

Hello everyone!

I wanted to ask if anyone has attempted to mod the actual iPod Classic software that is installed onto the 6th. / 7th Gen iPod's? My reason for asking is that I would like to see if there is a possibility to allow 720p + 1080p video formats to be uploaded and play on an iPod. Without regard to processing power or heating, I was wondering if this mod could be attempted or if it already has been done somewhere?

I understand the true limitations of the iPod display only being able to visually show certain sizes; however, I figured that it was worth asking. Thank you so much for any feedback you can share!

Just got my first ipod classic 4th gen monochrome to flash mod and am having issues getting the ipod to show up in finder. I installed the flash mod board into the ipod and put in an SD card which gets the ipod to the folder icon but when I plug it in to my MacBook, the ipod does not show up in finder. I get the do not disconnect screen but nothing shows up. I've tried formatting the SD to exFAT on an old windows machine (exFAT or NTSF were the only options) and restoring on windows but it also doesn't show up in itunes. Any ideas to fix this??

What should I do with it ?

I just got a new iPod, but for some reason when I connected it to my computer All the storage was gone because of other

Hey everyone,

I recently found my old iPod Touch 4 that I used as a kid, and it’s stuck in “disabled mode” because I forgot the passcode. It has a lot of old photos that mean the world to me, and I really don’t want to lose them by resetting the device.

Here’s the issue: all I have access to is a modern Windows laptop and a cable to connect the iPod. I’ve tried iTunes, but it won’t recognize the iPod since it’s disabled. At this point, I’m even open to jailbreaking it if that’s what it takes to recover the photos, but I’m not sure how to do it with just the resources I have.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or know of any tools or methods I could use to bypass the disabled screen and save the photos? Any advice would be a huge help.

My stepmom gave me her iPod touch that’s been sitting in a drawer for years. I tried to charge it and it gives me a pop up with iTunes and the plug. I plugged it in my computer and got on iTunes (older version that still supports iPods) and it says restore and update. I press that, and it says it was previously in DFU mode and no longer in DFU mode. I’ve looked up multiple tutorials on how to do the whole hold down the top and home button, then only hold the home button yada yada but it just keeps cycling through saying to restore and update, then gives me the same message. I have noticed on this iPod, once it restarts it doesn’t just show the apple logo, instead it IMMEDIATELY jumps to the iTunes plug even when connected or disconnected from iTunes. Is this just a paper weight?

I have an old handheld light meter for photography. I have torn it completely apart and have hollowed out the inside enough to fit the guts of a 3rd gen nano. My only problem is that the small click wheel of the nano looks odd when paired with the light meter shell, a full size click wheel is nearly a perfect fit.

Im selling this one if anyone in india wants then dm me

Hey y'all! I just bought an ipod hifi, and it only has one plastic adapter for the dock connector. I couldn't find them seperately anywhere. Is there like a site that sells these? I don't care if they're 3d printed or something, i just want it seperately and cheap. Thanks!

Hey y'all! Just bought this ipod hifi, don't know much about it.

It seems to be louder while plugged into the wall than on battery, is this really the case?

The 6 big batteries are pretty expensive for it, is there like a rechargeable alternative?

Last question, the nano i used to test it says "charging not supported" whenever i plug it in, is that for every model or just the 5th gen nano?

I found my old ipod mini that contains music videos I downloaded long time ago from YouTube. As you can probably tell, those videos from YouTube are long gone. I can play them on my iPod mini and on iTunes. But my iPod is dying and I don't want it to be limited only on iTunes. How would I download the music video into my computer?

i got this second gen mini for 10 bucks with og 2007 Apple earbuds, og belt clip and og charger just with a completely dead battery and dead HDD, i replaced the battery and replaced dead HDD with a 8gb Compact flash card and it works perfectly fine now just battery persentage goes randomly some times but i think its normal with a New battery
