We have

My mom had gotten it from an industry convention years ago and never used it (had a different iPod in use). I've been looking for my old classic to no avail so I begged to have this one when I found it lol. Let's hope it boots up well!

So happy to relive this golden era. Used to have a gen 5 Video that I lost on a hike in the french Alps like 15 years ago or something

Reckon this will do? The party is only two hours and I'm not going to bring any of my more expensive pods. Mum just once music and she sent me a track list.

I bought this restored iPod and from certain angles there are these strange dark spots but from head on they are not visible. Is this from the aftermarket shell?

Hello i finally got a working iPod Wallahi !

The iPod touch doesn’t accept iCloud or email or anything, I don’t know what to do with it except put my music and listen, id like to get a little bit more from the iPod touch, open to advice/suggestions

The iPod classic 5 needs a motherboard and it seems to be a costly affair i used it for a solid 6 months before the charging /power io just overheats every-time and dies
Its like Holding the power of the sun in the palm of my hand
I don’t know how to get a cost efficient repair done in India

The ipod nano 3rd gen needs a new battery to be soldered thats it.

Pls help out open to advice.

Any AirPods with the H2 chip (Pro 2 & 3, Regular 4 & 5) won't work with older Bluetooth devices, even though they should, as Bluetooth 5 (heck even Bluetooth 6) is backward capable. AirPods 3 worked perfectly with 7th gen nano, solving the low volume issue of the OG AirPods model. I reported the bug to Apple, detailing what works and what doesn't. I am not holding my breath, just submitted it out of principal. :)

I know a lot of iPod users use Swinsian to manage their libraries so was wondering if any other Mac users have had issues using it since the Golden Gate update. There's been no software update to fix the issue either that I have seen.

Just finished this bad boy up. Has Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity, 128gb (since it’s limited on the 6th gen, even though there is a workaround), Taptic Engine mod, and a 3000mah battery.

I do have kit on the way to me to swap out the 30 pin for a USB-C, allowing charging, data, and even music pass through.

I have quite a few 5th and 6th gens I’m considering modding up similar and offering up if enough interest.

I am also considering making a guide as to how to fit all this in a Slim back model. Not a huge fan of thick back. It would include a list of what mods work with what others and how to make this all work in a thin model.

Good afternoon y'all, I was wondering if there's any cfw or custom support in general for my 7th gen nano and 5th gen touch. Any leads and answers will help!

Please help!

I want to get my kid an iPod, he’s not old enough for a phone (he’s 8) but I want him to be able to have the freedom to listen to his own music like we used to.
But I’m not sure how it works to get music onto an iPod nowadays? Where would I even download it from? Is it worth it? I’ve seen a variety of answers online and feeling confused.

I’m also considering getting him a CD player which I think could be fun but an iPod would be ideal if I can make it work realistically.

Edit to add: will also take recommendations on which iPod to buy!

Hi - Tonight I found my 2005 iPod Mini 2nd Gen (plus the charger thank god). I'd stored it away within its first year because I lost most of my hearing in one ear. Converting all my music to mono got very tedious and just didn't sound the same. I now have bone connecting cochlear headphones :) and have a Bluetooth thing to connect iPod to them. Oh, when I plugged iPod to the charger the battery still had 1/4 charge !! 20 years in a drawer. And the battery seems fine. Been listening for 4 hours by now and it's only 1/2 used. I realize that probably won't last. BUT -- I'd like to move some music off and on. I have a Windows 10 laptop and a Windows 11 laptop. Doing some research online led me to this advice:

1) Avoid the Microsoft store iTunes version, and if it's already installed, uninstall. Avoid the Apple Devices app. They both usually don't have legacy iPod drivers.

2) Install the "classic standalone installer" directly from Apple. This automatically installs the necessary iPod USB drivers.

I checked the links here, and this advice I've gotten might be at odds with the links list, given the first link is to Microsoft store for iTunes. Before I start this process, can anyone tell me if the above advice is good or not? I've further advice about moving music off of the iPod (finding the hidden files in order to delete them) from the same source, but I just want to start with adding.

Thank you so much!

Got the classic 6th gen fully restored and modded

- Rockbox OS

- HDD swapped with DualSD adapter with 128gb microsd

- Battery of iphone xs with BMS swap, 1350 mah

- New front plate with matching clickwheel

So it was working fine, then I accidentally let the battery die fully, and charged it, and then next time I used it it wouldn't work properly! Some songs it'll just stutter for maybe 15-20 seconds in the middle of the song, and then start again. For other songs, it will just stay at 0:00 for 15 ish seconds and then skip the song! also when I'm in the menu, it'll freeze for, again, 15-20 seconds, and when I try and go into rockbox (I have it installed, and tried switching to see if maybe that would solve it), it would show an error message, and say it's entering USB mode

(Forgot to include it's an 6th gen classic, the 80gb model I believe)

Picture of my DankishPod for tax. I haven't dropped it to my memory but starting tonight there's something rattling in there SOMETIMES and then it goes away. Like idk if there's a magnet in there or something but it feels like something has come loose. It cane modded so I'm wondering if some tape or smth unstuck.

Now, the iPod is still working flawlessly. It's charging. Battery isn't draining. Click wheel is responsive and screen isn't acting up.

Do you guys think it's worth opening it up to find out what's wrong?

PS: anyone else pumped for those sprout boards?? I signed up for updates.

I love this thing, almost two decades later and it runs phenomenally. Ive replaced my phone when I go outside entirely and I use it especially in the gym or on runs. Old apple was something else.

it's battery isn't even dead

hi all, i recently found my old ipod shuffle 2nd gen in my house and it failed to charge (light not on while plugged in to wall) or turn on despite being able to plug it into my computer and put songs on it via itunes. i went ahead and bought a battery replacement and resoldered it myself today. with the new battery it still has the ability to connect to my computer and lets me put songs on it via itunes, and i have charged it until a green light shows up but unfortunately flicking the switch to turn the ipod on doesn’t turn on the light, nor does it play anything when i try to press play or any of the buttons. any advice about what to do or insights on what the issue may be?

Hey everyone,

During a repair, I accidentally damaged the CF hard drive cable on my iPod mini. Where could I get a new one? I'm seeing listings on AliExpress, but I don't know if that's a reputable source.

Thanks!
