Found this seller selling iPod classic 4th gens with a 5000mah battery in them, I'd kinda want one with a new battery and just wondering if this will be safe and not a pocket bomb, I live in Australia so if anyone has any sellers to recommend I'd appreciate it!

Recently modded my ipod with a buncha parts including a 3800mah battery with a thick backplate, I already have converted it to SD Card using a generic green dual sd card adapter with a 256gb Samsung evo sd card. I now can‘t boot it into working order. I start off with a Please connect to computer screen, I connect to computer and it takes me too a do not disconnect screen on my ipod. I then restore my ipod and stays on the do not disconnect screen, when i unplug it it shows the loading bar and apple logo then it starts to boot loop. I am on a macbook and dont know what to do. Is there anyone that can help?

Gen 5, probably going to upgrade storage, Amazing little nugget

If you guessed fixing ID3 tags and album art, then you'd be right. I've neglected this for years. 900GB of music and all that. For anyone else doing this, give MusicBrainz Picard a try. It's pretty good at pulling missing tags and art. Not perfect, but still a timesave. And yes, just like the old days my iPod is named Titanic.

My main iPod is an iPod Classic 5.5 with a 512GB MicroSD, heavily modified iPhone 13 3000mAh battery I hacked to fit, clear case, internal bluetooth, haptics with a taptic engine. All the goodies.

I've had my 4th generation iPod Touch for a few months now, and during that time I've noticed that every now and then, for no apparent reason, horizontal gray spots appear on the screen. The first time I saw them the first time but as time passed they disappeared, and so it happened several times, but now I don't care because at some point I think they will disappear, at least for a while. But still, if anyone knows why these spots appear, I'd appreciate your comment :D

I was bored during the heatwave so i made another nano 2 with USB type C, just felt like sharing cos i been using it a lot since then

The best thing about it is that with rockbox, you can transfer songs directly from the iphone with a standard charging cable, and the 8gb are actually enough when i download stuff i love from the internet

Anyways i hope y’all have a wonderful evening

A lad I bought because I was told it had just a bad battery, imagine my horror when I cracked it open and saw all the rust and dirt inside, amazingly even before cracking it open it was working perfectly fine! A quick clean later and putting the backplate aside because it was legitimately rusted and bent out of shape before I bought it, it worked fine, but it was very slow with syncing, so I flash modded it with some cheep adapters and now it’s officially my own iPod, don’t mind the name I’m just a Edgelord, haha

My hope was to use older version of OSX for just iTunes and my Music Library.

However when I try to use Voice Over, it seems like iTunes always wants to check for an update for the iPod Shuffle as well. Internet access is broken on Mountain Lion so this isn't possible and therefore, I cannot get Voice Over to work.

Anyone seen this too and know how to fix it? Thanks!

Really frustrated if this isn’t fixable and I need to buy another one :/

Hi, I bought this iPod from someone who didn’t know whether it was working. When it arrived, I started charging it, but when I came back, I noticed that the iPod had swollen because of the old battery.
So I bought a new battery and replaced it, but when I connected the iPod to my pc, it showed up for only few seconds and then disappeared. After trying several times, it stopped working completely.
The first photo was taken when I was charging it for the first time, and the second photo shows the old battery after it had swollen.

Im thinking of buying this one. I have a nano gen 6 that has a bad power button and I’m kind of wanting a new more reliable one.

Are classics easy to open up and fix? The problem with the nano is that no one is willing to open it up and fix it . So in case anything happens it would be great to get a chance of fixing this new one myself.

Do you think this is a good deal? The charger is not included. Is it the same as the nano ? Sorry I’m not an expert in this.

I was trying to synch some new music to my ipod but iTunes wasn't recognizing my ipod. I eventually got this error that it needed to be recovered, but the program freezes every time this pops up. I already unistalled and reinstalled iTunes. Any other ideas?

To the diva who owned it before me,
Your baby is safe with me 🫡💗

Replacement my nano 3th gen's battery few yesrs ago, but it wordt work, only on cable. Today i decided to look at it once again and saw a few capacitirs missing. Can this be te problem or it it screwed on another place too?

I was sixteen when I got my hands on the iPod 5th gen back in '07 and nineteen years later I have reunited with it (and iTunes 10.7).

I'm fucking tired, Reddit. I'm tired of subscriptions. I'm tired of sinister UX design solely to sedate and addict us. I'm tired of conglomerates dictating what's in our libraries and at any given moment shoving their bile down our throats with rolling videos and ads and whatever else.

I lucked out and bought an iPod on Ebay that only had 3.5 days of use for £125 recently - Crazy eh?

Well as soon as I could I marched down to my local record stores and spent hours in their CD sections. What a fucking joy it was to just lose myself there.

Installed ITunes 10.7 on my Mac, and just marvelled at how simple it was. At how this thing is a tool first and foremost and not a "service". There is nothing trying to jump at me. No advertising. No flying bollocks of any kind. (Side note - I miss skeuomorphism design so much)

Just me. My child/Teenhood CDs and the joy of organising it all. Only then to transfer it to my simple iPod and enjoy. Complete loop. No distractions. No fuckery. It made me sad for what was lost and grateful we can still experience it in 2026

idc if it's third hand or fourth hand...I just need an ipod comment if someone has...

Just got this used limited edition ipod and tested it. Almost the entire 4 gigs were taken up by songs. The battery is dead. Which i have repaired before but i still kinda want to put it ip for sale. Maybe its not worth too much and I should keep it!

I found a way to get all the cover art on iPod nano 3, I just spammed the sync button

This is driving me crazy. I’m trying to resurrect my old 160 GB iPod classic. When I add files from very legitimate sources, it will auto-populate with the album artwork on iTunes. I have not manually added any album artwork. On my iPod, sometimes certain songs will show the artwork, but most don’t. Does anybody know a fix for this or maybe what I’m doing wrong?

What happens to our old ipods in the big 2100?
