I downloaded some videos from YouTube at 240p and want to put them on my 3rd gen nano but when i add them to itunes nothing happens i tried to use the convert option but its greyed out any help would be appreciated
Do any of the Nanos have Bluetooth?
Is it possible to download my Apple Music onto the Nano?
Hiya My iPod 5th gen 30gb (with replaced battery) sometimes just stops playing my songs. Like it will be a minute till the end of a song then it will stop, and skip to the next one. Other times it won’t skip at all. I did the smart data and wanted to see if that was maybe the cause. From what I’ve seen this is a really high number of power on hours. I’m wondering what the cause would be, hardware, syncing, something else. Thanks
it’s an 80gb 5.5 im eventually gonna mod it, but i checked the hard drive and it’s really healthy, so for now i’m just enjoying having an iPod again.
The remote has full control over the iPod from across the room, which I didn’t expect. This is a rad little system for ~$50 on marketplace. If it had normal speaker outputs it would be perfect.
I have recently installed new batteries in my 5th gen and 5.5 classics. A 3000mah “thin” from eoe in my 5th gen and a 2000mah from idemigods in my 5.5.
I am pretty happy with the battery runtime of 45-50 hours tho some folks say it will get significantly better (doubling?) after the batteries have cycled a dozen or so times.Is there any truth to this?
BTW. Not that this is part of the discussion but I am not totally shocked by the similar runtime between the 2 batteries as the 3000mah is not 50% bigger than the 2000mah. The 5.5 circuitry could be more efficient too. I know to take all these battery rating with a grain of salt!
This is my fourth time trying this…
Hello everyone, I recently bought an iPod Shuffle 4 and I’ve never used it before. Actually, I’ve never used any iPod.
I found several 10-year-old YouTube videos explaining how to add music to iPod via iCloud, and I tried to do it, and I failed. I really don’t understand what to do.
Is it possible to add music to iPod using the modern version of iCloud?
If so, how?
If not, what should I do?
Pedronoid over at andrd.shop on eBay made me this 4GB Panda Nano 1st Gen.
I managed to get this for £8 from eBay, & am loving it. Only iPod I ever had previously was a 4th gen Nano back in Uni. This is the 8gb version.
I was expecting to have to swap battery and even have a replacement on the way, but it holds charge like a dream. Complete functional so far!
Only thing is there is this random track and every time I try to play it it crashes the iPod! Anyone know what it is? It’s the track at the bottom in the photo with a long number for a name.
I have reformatted, & have resynced my library. I am using Apple Music and am on a Mac.
I bought this mini for a project but my actual daily died and I diont have the funds for a flash kit. Now this is my daily!
Hi everyone, just discovered this place. I have an ipod classic and an ipod nano. I'm trying to get some of the music that's on those devices back onto my PC but itunes won't let me simply drag and drop. Can anyone help me? The nano still works but there's music on there that I need on my PC that was not backed up on my external HDD's for whatever reason.
I'd also like to check my classic but the thing has been broken for some time and I just wanna see if there's anything on there that that's also not backed up and if I can possibly still get back.
Thanks.
Hi folks,
I have a 4th Gen Classic (40gb Photo) coming in the post, I've also ordered an iFlash ATA-1 to make everything a bit easier, plus a new battery.
I'm wondering what size storage card to go for, any reasons to go for a particular size?
My understanding is that the 32mb ram inbuilt in this is the limiting factor on how many songs it can store/play? I've also seen that it's not an issue and people are running over 1TB, so some clarification would be awesome!
I'm open to running rockbox if required, I just want it to run as well as possible and if that means it's limited to X songs or X memory then I'll roll with that.
Please let me know your thoughts :)
Thanks!
I recently got a 6th gen iPod Classic, which doesn't have FM radio built into it like my 5th gen Nano does. That being said, I've heard there are FM transmitters you can get for your iPod. If anyone has experience with these transmitters, what are the ones that work the best? Thanks.
Are there any 30 pin Bluetooth adapters that my car can recognize?
I’ve seen this topic discussed here many a time but cannot find the info I need. I just picked up my first Classic 1st Gen and the OS appears to be removed. I don’t have a computer with a Firewire port so I bought a USB > Firewire cable for cheap to try my current Mac with no luck (device was not picked up at all when plugged in).
I have a Firewire > Firewire cable but I need to find a Mac with a native Firewire port to use it. What is the cheapest old Mac with Firewire that would allow me to restore via iTunes?
Thanks in advance!!
Any recommendations on where to buy an iPod with international shipping?
I live in Chile and many used iPods I have seen on national pages online are going for stupid prices and are in horrible conditions.
I was considering buying a refurbished one from eBay, but wanted to know your opinions and recommendations first.
Ideally looking for fifth-5.5-sixth generation classic.
Thank you!
I found an old iPod which belonged to my mom. It has password to unlock so I tried recovery mode. On watching tutorials, I tried pressing home button, it is supposed to turn on which isn’t happening. What can I do?
Anyone got recommendations for nice CD receivers from the 2000s/2010s that fully support a 5th gen? New receivers seem to be pretty limited in iPod support. I'm tired of my Sony Carplay unit that doesn't support it at all. Open to single or double-din, prefer Kenwood, Pioneer, Alpine, maybe Sony. ty!
Im a huge fan of nano Been usin it for forever But classic is famous for its enormous storage and etc… Im not interested in modding and i have ipod repair shop near my home
On this case do i need classic???
