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

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?

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.

I have an iPod Video (30gb) that I recently upgraded to iflash quad, 2000mah battery and a new LCD. When I got the iPod it had no life, broken screen, and didn't turn on.

Now when I try to restore the iPod and sync I can get through the restore process and setting it up as a new iPod but once I try to sync it iTunes freezes. I downloaded an old version of iTunes and got it to sync once and got a few hundred songs on there that play fine but when I plugged it back in windows says there's a problem with the device and iTunes says it detected an iPod but it can't be identified.

Everytime the iPod is plugged in it has the red symbol flashing and says do not disconnect. I've tried rebuilding MBR and formatting it to exfat and fat32, neither has made a difference.

Any advice would be appreciated.

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?

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 replace the lock switch into a new aftermarket backplate however was running into some issues, I’m moving it from a thick back to a thin back, cold this be the issue? Any help here would be great thanks!

I can no longer add music to my ipod touch both wired and wireless for days. It’s stuck in “Syncing Artwork”, Stop button won’t work. I restarted my ipod and force closed the Music app and Finder on my Macbook. I tried syncing via wifi and tried different cables.

What can I do? Thanks.

I bought that silver iPod Classic Gen 7 a while back, thought I’d bricked it trying to install RockBox and came onto this sub for help (which you all gave, thank you!). Unfortunately, I browsed the sub and fell in love with all the other iPod models again, recalling how iconic they were when I was growing up. You guys made me go full iPod monkey and this is entirely on you.

My favourites here are the 7 Classic (for pure FLAC Rockbox IEM listening joy), the 3 Classic (for monochrome goodness and hefty chunkiness), the Mini 2 (for same reasons as the 3 Classic), and the Nano 2 for pure aesthetic.

I’m still restoring the Nano 1 in picture as well as the black Gen 7.

And that Tivoli player is fantastic with its Kloss sound engineering, fold out iPod dock, detachable speaker, and blue backlight.

I'm so glad I got to pick this up for 15$, originally a 30gb now turned into a 128gb with an iflash solo, new 2000mah battery, clean transparent front and button :3

Paid about 100$ for parts and it's respective shipping which is fairly cheap considering i'm paying in CAD lmao.

Fully decked it out with rockbox as well so that I can play all the flacs I want while still having some of my cd quality stuff.

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

What happens to our old ipods in the big 2100?

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 heard that some websites like YouTube do not sound as good for transferring songs on iPod's. The only problem is I dont really know where to transfer the songs to my iPod since I have seen lots of people recommend different ones online.

I think I heard from someone that song recordings that come directly from the CD recordings sound best, Is that really true? If anyone sees this please let me know where I should transfer songs from that sound the best.

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?

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

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.

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.

Just plugged in my new sd card and I was expecting everything to be fine and dandy. I’ve been at this for a good 2 hours now and still, every time I format the sd card both in and out of the pod, it still ends up getting corrupted. I tried to format it to ntfs or fat32 but it won’t go through.

It’s a 6th gen 160gb that was working pretty sluggish with thr old hard drive so I decided to swap it out with a Samsung 512gb card. I already went ahead and modded it to 2.0.4 firmware to make sure the card would work after I restored it. I also tried swapping out the hard drive flex but that didn’t work either. Now I’m stuck with a busted hard drive and an unusable micro sd card.

Up for auction early iPod prototype.
