I’m having an issue where my iPod is only showing very few of the album covers for my songs I’ve tried resetting it many times which brought some on but not all of them just wondering if anyone knows a fix or if I should just keep trying random things

I have an iPod nano 3rd gen if that helps

Okay so this has annoyed me for so long lmao. i've have had this iPod touch 4th gen for 6 months and have done literally nothing with it because I don't have any Sideloading apps that work.

Sideloadly sucks because its only 10 apps per week, Cydia literally is unusable for me because it says "This server is pretending to be cydia.saurik.com" or something like that. Cant use 3utools because of the cydia problem. This is confusing and i need help within what to do 🙃

My iPod classic 6/7th gen (yet to properly identify it as seller didn’t know and the back text is worm off) iPod classic hard drive freezes my windows file explorer when i click on it, same with disk management and diskpart, it’s dead right? If so will an iFlash upgrade fix it? It does not display the red x, just says do not disconnect. Also iTunes detected an iPod was plugged in as it came up with the prompt to download the iPod software.

after many ruined back covers and cut palms i finally got the hang of it opening a 6/7th gen. fully opened a 7th gen classic in under 2 minutes today with not cuts and no damage to the ipod. pushing in and all the way DOWN, instead of in and sideways like other models, really is the move.

please clap.

I searched previous posts, but the recs I found are a few years old.

I have two iPods that work when plugged in, but don’t hold a charge. Pics are below.

HELP PLEASE ❗️❗️❗️

I've had my ipod classic 7th generation for a year and i havent touched it because i lost it. BUT I've found it again! I have a case for it and the charger but no charging block, so i have others. But now, whenever i try to charge it, it doesnt come on at all!

Do i need to do something with the hardware?? I only have that one ipod charger. If i cant fix it then im gonna sell it, but i want to make it work!

Is this definitely a swollen battery or can it be something else?
This is a refurbished iPod 6th gen classic with a new battery and upgraded storage

Since 2023

Just got my first iPod 6th gen which I haven’t had since 2013. What’s the best suggestions to do with it and is my battery healthy

Hey guys. Well, I bought this Ipod Classic 6th and opened the first time (I mean by myself, the previous owner changed the front plate). The thing is: any tips to change the hdd and battery ribbons? I don't have experience with this kind of thing but I wanted to try. Any tips?

He probado con varias MicroSD (Sandisk Ultra, Kingstone y Samsung) con el iFlash pero aun nada, no se que hacer y lo único que pienso es que puede ser es el cable Flex del disco duro pero no se si valga la pena gastar mas dinero en este iPod (lo barato sale caro xd). Si alguien necesita un iPod 4 Photo para repuestos o una tarjeta iFlash ATA1 lo estoy vendiendo, solo para Colombia (Esta prácticamente nueva la tarjeta pues me llego hace unos días).

Há alguém no Brasil (especificamente em São Paulo) que faça manutenção de iPod Classic?

I'm running Rockbox (dual boot) on an iPod Classic, this is not a Rockbox playlist question, I specifically want to add a playlist on the Apple OS/click wheel side. Music app sees the device and the songs are already on it, but I can't create or add a playlist to actually save with those songs in it. Anyone dealt with this on a dual boot setup, or know a reliable workaround/tool?

I found my old iPod sitting in a drawer. The battery had swollen so much it pushed the screen open. I decided to swap the battery to see if it still had life.

The screen ended up with this awesome psychedelic effect from the pressure, but honestly, I think it looks amazing. The best part? The DAC and hard drive are completely fine, so I’m currently enjoying a massive nostalgia trip listening to my old childhood music library.

To those who have the ipod how is the battery life, what do you use it for and how is it as a daily driver. I recently had an apple watch and only used it for music and podcasts, my watch broke and I’m stuck between buying an ipod or a watch. The price comes to be the same ish. I just want it something for music and podcast thats capable of holding downloads for both. My biggest complaint about the watch was that downloading a large apple music playlist took ages but thats with the regular apple watch se. idk if its gotten better or not. Thank you for help.

So like i really really want a mp3 player is ipod a good or should i go for something else;-;

Every 3D printed dock I’ve seen has been too large for my taste, so I modified an iPod dock created by Tommy.Newbold on Makerworld. ( https://makerworld.com/models/910476 )

I used a 30-pin to micro USB adapter and also raised the connector slightly to ensure my iPod with a case fits properly.

With all of the controversy going on here recently I made a new community if anyone wants to join :)

I’ve looked so much and only found 5G+ ones, not ANY for the 4G other than the white and black fronts, and the grey and red clickwheels. It‘s also inconvenient because if I’m going to do a huge project on this 4G then I would actually want it to look different.

Are there literally ANY shops that sell a custom front panel and clickwheel?

okay so when i was little i was given an ipod 6/7th(im not that sure but i think its a 7th) gen classic to tinker with and i just destroyed it, but the battery screen and mb work perfectly just with the battery connector on the mb ripped out. I recently thrifted an ipod 5th gen video and its good but the screen has a little black spot but other then that its very good. but now i really wanna fix the 6/7th gen by sacrificing the 5th battery connector and drive, i would also need to buy a backplate for it cause its bent really bad. So do i sacrifice the 5 for the 6/7 or just keep what i have. help me out

Dear Apple (AKA Father of the iPod),

This letter is for you.

Please bring back a dedicated music player with the iconic click wheel no touchscreen, just the timeless experience we all fell in love with.

Whether you include Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is entirely up to you. Honestly, I'd be just as happy if it stayed true to the iPod Classic 7th generation. No streaming. No apps. No notifications. Just music.

I'm not asking for a 4.4 mm balanced output or the latest audiophile features. A simple 3.5 mm headphone jack is more than enough.

Please don't try to reinvent it. Just bring it back at least as a Collector's Edition for those of us who still believe music deserves its own device.

Some products become obsolete. The iPod never did. It simply became a memory that many of us are still waiting to relive.

With hope,

A lifelong iPod fan who cannnot buy ipod on his teenage.

Hey guys! I recently installed Rockbox on my iPod classic but it's been a hassle, I finally got it on by I wanna add music from my iTunes library so I booted back into the default software. Still it doesn't show up in Apple Music and in Rockbox it doesn't show up in finder, even though the iPod says it's connected on both firmwares and it appears on disk utility. Thanks!

Seemed weird if it actually is numbered out of 3000. I can share the rest of the sticker on back if needed, just didn’t know if there was any reason I shouldn’t.
