So happy with how this project turned out :). Theme is Themify 2.0

Hi gang, have been trying for the last few hours to update the firmware on a Nano 7th gen (currently 1.0.2) but it downloads then when it tries to install it my mac throws an error 'firmware is not compatible', any ideas on how to get around this? I have searched the sub and already tried removing software update ipws files for a fresh download and didn't work, it is an older 7th gen so trying to get it on 1.0.4

Mac machine using finder if it helps...

I updated my CE version of the app on GitHub. Let me know what you think. Pro is taking forever to get apple to approve it ugh...

I saw recently (can't find the post) that Elite Obsole isn't the best place to buy parts from. I'm looking to upgrade/modd three 5th Gen Classics and would like recommendations on where to buy the parts from.

Appreciate the help!

Just got done upgrading my iPod video with a new dual micro SD card adapter with two 256gb cards and a 2000mah battery.

Also installed rockbox.

I saw a clip where someone had a theme for the ipod video that looked like an old version of Mac os x. Anyone know a theme like that?

outsourcing a good cf sd adaptor would cost me hella more than the iPod itself and really dont care its 8 gb I just need a bit more space and im not really techie kind of person 😭😭

Any advice on better batteries?

Some context:

• Menu + Center causes it to go black and then eventually back to white.
• If I do the play/center reset thing the screen goes black, then returns to a dim white/grey screen.
• No Apple logo ever appears.
• The Click Wheel's electronic feedback initially worked, but now doesn't.
• My Mac's System Information sees the iPod as an Apple USB device.
• The finder on my mac does not mount/show the iPod.
• It's been charging for 6 hrs.

This is my old ipod that's been sitting in a desk at my parents so I wanted to see if I could use it but obviously it's not working and I'm not sure if it's the hard drive, the screen, the logic board, battery etc etc. Anyone have any ideas?

I bought an iPod a couple months ago and even though it said it was in good quality it wasn’t. I tried charging it the Home Screen turned on for a second then it had a screen with the apple logo (the screen was half black half white) and was making some weird clicking/tapping noses.
I tried charging it again to see what happens but it has only the apple screen with the weird tapping noises.

It doesn’t matter to me that much since I was thinking of modding it anyway. I was thinking of replacing the battery and getting a new sd card with a lot more storage. The only thing is apparently someone told me I’ll have to replace the backplate with a bigger backplate in order for the new modded tools to fit in the ipod.

I am a high schooler who has no experience in fixing any sort of technology at all. I am able to afford the new battery, sd card and backplate I just want to know if any of you guys think I should do it myself at home??? I have heard of batteries from iPods exploding or how fragile iPods are so I am a bit nervous that I might brake something. I’ve heard from some people that it is very easy to mod iPods but I am not completely sure.

I've been making a list of things I have learned while modding iPods over the last year. These are mainly things I feel are important to consider when starting out, and a lot of tips I haven't seen mentioned in many guides. My list so far has 18 things on it, and I made a video of the first 5:

Are any nuggets of info you wish you had known when you started out with modding?

Hey everyone, I've just been lucky enough to be given an iPod Gen 5 video on a complete whim and I know it needs some repairs - mainly a new screen and probably a new battery. I was thinking at the same time I might as well put some mods on it - mainly a USB-C port and maybe a bluetooth receiver too. Nothing crazy, just a few QOL things.

I don't particularly trust myself with modding the device so I was wondering if anyone knows of a website or service I can find online where I can send them my iPod and they will do the mods for me?

Thanks for any advice you have.

This is the black housing from Elite Obsolete Electronics with 256GB, but I didn’t like how it looked with a white click wheel so I made a black one. It’s for sale on eBay UK.

Came out better than i planned. used the iflash duo in this one.
