I know nothing at all about this so please explain like I’m a complete idiot. I’m not sure what model it is but it’s 80gb from 2006 and the model no is A1136. I really want to put my music onto it but I use spotify so I’m not sure how that works. is there a way to get that on there or will I have to use itunes? and how do I do either of those?

Trying to price out buying a 5th or 7th gen to mod against buying one pre-modded. Don't have a soldering gun or any experience, what other tools and kit will I need besides the parts in question? Could any of you recommend a "good enough" soldering gun for the job?

They all turn on and function, iPod touch 4 that's cracked is disabled because of too many password attempts (it's my childhood one) the iPhone se 2 is just cracked it works fine but, come on that battery life, the iPhone 4 needs a sim to get past the welcome screen, and the iPod touch 4 is, well the average iPod touch 4 on iOS 6, what should I really do with these, I'm not big on apple because they don't exactly fit in my budget, or offer things id like for their high prices, so quite stumped on what to do with these old purchases

This was my dad’s iPod from 2007 when I was 5. I found it looking through boxes at my parents’ house, and reset it to put my albums on it.

That one song that's ALWAYS your jam!

I have 2 iPod touch 4th generation with moderate scuffs in the aluminum back, I have purchased brasso and have polished them in a microfiber cloth, both damp and dry and see no result's. Am I doing something wrong?

Just curious since mine are cheap aliexpress ones & I’m looking for better ones

I had a macbook pro and another windows PC that needed an OS. I had reformatted the ipod and i was able to restore it. i did that about 3 times, and it would still restore. I then formatted it and then used transmac to flash a DMG to try to fix my mac. It broke. Upon realizing I could not use the ipod to flash an OS, I tried to restore. The restore went on for an hour and then I realized that it wasnt doing anything. I unplug it, end itunes processes and plugged it back in, windows then said it could not recognize the ipod citing that the last USB device i connected to it malfunctions. The ipod said OK to disconnect as soon as the notification came up.

Comes down to a little less than $9 per iPod. All untested. I just opened the box and have yet to start working on them. 6x 30gb 5th gens, one with broken lcd. 2x 4th gen monos, one with puffy battery. 1x 3rd gen classic. 1x 8gb 4th gen touch (booooo). 4x 2nd/3rd gen touches, 3 are 8gb (booooo) but one is 32gb (yayyyyy). 1x 4th gen shuffle. 2x 1st gen nanos, 1x 2nd gen nano and 2x 5th gen nanos (one with puffy battery and bad lcd).

All in all, how did I do? I plan to refurbish and resell the classics and maybe some of the nanos. I know 8gb touches are junk. I'll probably do 256gb iFlash builds with the 5th gens. Now if there's one thing I'm excited about, it's seeing what music I can rip off these iPods.

I bought an IPod Touch 2nd Gen today, and decided I wanted to wipe the thing. I did it through it's settings, I believe it was running some version of IOS 3. Now it's stuck with the apple logo and a loading circle overlapping slightly under it, and after a couple of minutes it turns off for 3 seconds and just goes to the apple logo only. Rinse and repeat. It's been doing that for a while now (a couple of hours). I don't know what to do!! Any help please?

I would like wireless headphones for my i pod nano 6th gen . so I need to buy a bluetooth adapter. any suggestions ?

I didn’t realize that there was a hole in my bag and it fell in my driveway (better that than the street, but still) and it landed on the corner with the power button and now it’s stuck and won’t work

30-Pin Bluetooth Adapter

My question is simple, which one should I get:

An iPod + 30 Pin Bluetooth Adapter or a HiFi Walker H2?

Also, what tools or games come with the iPod? Does it have an alarm without the need to plug it into a speaker? Thanks!

Hi, there! Last night I tried to sync my iPods (7th gen and 3rd gen) using iTunes. Apparently the app got updated, for it sent me a message that all my music is now admin'ed by Apple Music, whereas iTunes will remain for podcasts and a few other things.

Here's the problem. Neither iPod was recognized by Apple Music. In the end, I had to revert back to an older iTunes version that did consolidate my music library (12.10, maybe): everything worked out fine then.

More than asking the community how I can get my iPods to work with the Music app, I wished to ask you whether this kind of updates could eventually pose serious issues when it comes to use my iPods on a daily basis. For example, I worry that Apple could eventually force me to install Music to access the albums I've bought via iTunes, thereby leaving my iPods out of the game. Rockbox isn't an option, as I may want to flash mod my devices and prefer the original OS UI.

Eventually, this question occurred to me: will classic iPods be a viable option for someone who's only into some light modding, but in the end prefers the devices' original ease of use? Should I start future-proofing by getting a Sony player or what not?

Apologies for the impressionist message. Only trying to get a conversation started from my little corner of the world and would welcome any thoughts.

I bought a 2nd gen iPod off of ebay that stated it was fully functional. When I got it, I found that when I plugged in headphones the jack moved into the body a bit and no sound came out.

I assume this is due to the jack separating from the motherboard? If so, has anyone successfully fixed this? If easy, I'll possibly make the attempt. If not, I'll return it. Cheers.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to decide whether to get an iPod Classic or an iPod 5th generation and need your advice.

Here are the details:

•iPod Classic (7th Gen): It would cost me €90, from a friend, 160GB storage, really good condition with original packaging and charging cable. (The one in the photo)

•iPod 5th Generation: It would cost me around €200, in good condition, but only 30GB storage.

Now I know the Gen 5 is way easier to modify and some say it has better sound quality, but does that justify the extra 100€ and is the sound quality actually better?

Which purchase do you think makes more sense? Looking forward to hearing your opinions.

Thanks in advance!

DM me if you would like to give them to me
