My Nano 4th Gen needs a new battery and I was wondering if anyone knows a good seller for those in AUS as I don't want to end up getting a bad one after all the work needed to open these models.

Thanks to everyone in advance

How hard is to mod an iPod Nano 3rd gen?

I found one for $10 bucks but I've never modified one before. I want to know if it's kinda easy and/or possible to upgrade the battery or the memory capacity.

"Restore with Itunes" help | Classic IPod 80 gb

Hello,

I had to do the middle and menu button reset as the "ok to disconnect appeared" while charging it. It restarts, it feels like a small disk inside jumps, and goes to the apple logo, then to the restore screen.

What do I do? This was gifted to me by someone no longer here and I dont want to lose their music and no clue about their itunes.

I tried file explorer and "ipod_control" and was able to find the sound files, but they're all in letter 2 digit format.

There has to be a way that once its loaded, your music remains on the ipod, right?

edit:
Opening the files in VLC does show it at the top. big relief I can still see the titles

Stock OS or Rockbox?

Behold.. A 36$ brick!

Got this guy for parts, because I needed a new logic board for another 7th gen. (The 30 pin won't connect to my computer) and this ipod happens to have the exact same problem. Is it somewhat easy to sauter a new one in? I have no experience but I can learn.

How cooked am I?

I picked up this HP 4th Gen bc I absolutely loved all the old music in the previews. I’m not sure how bad these drive stats are, but I feel like I’ve heard the reallocs are pretty bad. My question is… how bad?

Is there way I can safely extract the music off this iPod? That’s what I’m most concerned about, the treasure trove of music, lol. I could flash mod this iPod and reload all the music back on and give it new life.

I have a 2012 MacBook Pro that could handle the music transfer, running Mohave and I have an SSD with Windows 10 bootcamp when needed. This iPod is formatted for windows. Thanks in advance for any help the community can offer, cheers!

I’m joining the club!

The “READ” part is “When charging it did not show it was charging but it did. When charged it does hold charge well.” When I receive it I will update on what this means in detail, but for now does anyone have any ideas on what this is or advice on how to fix it?

First thing I am going to do when I receive it: Download Rockbox 😎 (I am actually going to check it out because I have never owned one before)

Storage "Other"

My iPod nano is full. The biggest part is "Other". I have no idea what that is. But it can't be a bad HDD I mean it's a nano.

I have the motherboard of a 5.5th gen and the logic board and faceplate of a 7th gen. It feels like a good fit, am I going to kill the ipod by combining the two?

iPod mini repair

Apologies if this is the wrong subreddit to ask for help in, but I recently found my moms old iPod mini. The battery doesn’t seem to work, even after charging for almost 2 days. Does anyone know any good places that are cheap and affordable in the Brooklyn, NY area or is this something I have to DIY?

Thanks for reading, I appreciate any help I can get

4th gen iPod shuffle, no system sounds

Music plays just fine. VoiceOver also works. Tried restoring twice using iTunes from the Windows Store. I'm referring to the system noises -- shuffle/repeat, lock/unlock, and the like. There doesn't seem to be a setting in iTunes to enable or disable these sounds, and I even went as far as messing with the plist files, but I just cannot figure out what may have happened. Google returned nothing, just endless articles on "no sound at all" (which is not what I'm experiencing)

iPod Mini 2Gen memory upgrade! KingSpec Professional CF Memory Card

Hi guys, I read a post here saying that a KingSpec-Professional CF Memory Card is compatible for iPod mini. I want to upgrade mine but first, I wanna be sure that that memory from aliexpress (The user recommended that, but i'm not sure about it kkkkk) is fully compatible with the iPod mini system or if I'll have issues buying and using it. Does anyone here had issues using that brand or it's a good product to use? I really don't wanna open that iPod more than 1 time, that's why ill change the battery, the memory and if I find, the click wheel too ahahahah

Thanks, guys!!

Joined the club!

My iPod Classic 160gb (7th gen) just got delivered, with original box, earplugs, leaflets and even the Apple stickers. It also came with some songs on it, but how can I identify if the song is original (bought from iTunes) or if it is a downloaded song? Nevertheless I am happy so far with the iPod I bought on local marketplace.

Transferring old iPod videos to my iMac

Hey! I filmed some videos to get a vintage look and I don't know how to transfer it to my Mac. Any suggestions? Usually there's a tab where I can access it but that was during the iTunes era ahahah
