Hello Everyone, hope all is well. I was wondering if someone could please help me figure out what 2 contact points do I solder on my power switch for my after market ipod classic hold switch. Im trying to follow Parts Plus Pods Video at the 14:00 min mark and im confused on how to solder my after market part. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hey guys I need some help here

I modded my iPod with a SD card reader from AliExpress and a 2000 mh battery but every time I plug it in all I see is the very low battery screen.

Could u guys see if anything is wrong with the setup

Hello everyone,

The rewind click button on my 7th gen iPod classic has stopped working. (Despite only ever having been temperamental at best..)

I have opened up the iPod and tried the obvious - cleaning up around the button & even lifted tape affixing the click mechanism and cleaned under the contact (which looked clean tbf) - it is still not working!

Would love to know if there is something I am missing here or any bright spark here has any other suggestions before I put it back together and spend the rest of my life trying not to think about it.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve acquired a few more classic iPods over the past months which I’ve slowly been restoring.

It’s been fun learning about the quirks of each generation such as the FireWire syncing on the Gen2.

I’ve added flash storage to a few but kept the stock HDD in many of them to retain the original experience and feel.

Having a size limitation means you need to be more deliberate about what songs/albums you want to add which to me is part of the experience.

I’m also using a 2007 Mac Mini running Snow Leopard as a dedicated manager for syncing and charging. Makes it much easier and stabler than modern macOS.

Greetings iPod fans! I have a question about the on-device iTunes database. I have (original) 80 GB 5th generation (aka 5.5 generation) iPod, which I have flash modded with 512 GB storage. This iPod has 64 MB of RAM, but my iTunes database is 74 MB. I understand that the iPod reads the database into RAM at startup, but obviously the database is larger than the available RAM. I haven’t noticed any issues using the iPod, so I’m curious, what symptoms do people experience when the database is too large to fit in the RAM?

I have been getting back into my retro, nerdy tech hobbies, and just found my old 2008 iPod classic. I didn’t realize that people were retrofitting these to be used in modern day and really like the idea of possibly doing that to this. Any ideas on what the first good steps are? What are considered “tasteful” updates/upgrades and what aren’t. Thanks for any help.

tried matching the classic equalizer with my health graph and small speaker mode. idk much about audio science but it hits way harder now, hope it's okay to share here!

Took a risk buying a broken 7th gen that could not get past the Apple logo.

iPod - i tried all the usual … force start, disc mode, diagnostic mode (i got in 1 time) but could not get far with the HD not working

Computer - nothing on iTunes, sometimes it turned up as an usb drive but was not able to format or anything.

Solution - after changing the HD to one i had lying around it worked like a charm :)!

Even though i have my flash mod and battery on the way i could not wait to open it up and get it to work to see if i didn’t buy a dead iPod.

Hope this can help someone in the future, take a risk sometime!

I’m trying to figure out if the reading is bad and the hard drive is dying. I need to transfer the music into iTunes before that happens.

Been loving all of the ipod posts showcasing everyone's color and aesthetic choices, so i thought I'd show mine!

The transparent cases are a life saver for keeping the back clean and scratch free

Alguém sabe de algum link do AliExpress que venda um clickwheel mais próximo do original?

Comprei algums, mas sempre estão com a impressão de um branco meio desbotado.

Just a quick question since some options are limited at the moment; but what is the difference in hourly usage between a 3000 mAh and the 3800 mAh battery? If it’s not that much, should I just get the 3000?

Also, what is the size difference?

I ask because I need to start my iPod build for my girlfriend before Christmas comes, been sitting on her pod for about a month now.

TIA!

Edit: sorry I forgot to add that I have both the 5.5 and the 7 gen iPods. My main concern right now is modding the thin-backed 7th gen

Pls

So a little backstory, I recently purchased a 6th generation Ipod Classic, paid $105 USD for it, which I was very happy with, however the battery was expanding, and today after a long day of work, the new battery arrived. I went through the strenuous process of opening the Ipod, and managed to finally get it open, miraculously damaging none of the hardware in the process, until I went to connect the ribbon cable, and the plastic piece that holds it in came loose from the motherboard. there are two little metal prongs sticking up from where it was, but from what I've read around the internet it would require a very precise soldering job to fix. So I guess my question now is what are my options? is there any easier way to fix this issue at least temporarily? Should I just get a gen 5 instead? Part of the reason I chose a Gen 6 is because I love the aluminum front. I apologize for the rant, this is just very frustrating and upsetting as a first time ipod owner.

…and where do I find them to do so? 📚🎧

Hi. I recently ordered a 5th generation iPod Classic. I noticed right out of the box that the iPod would freeze after 2 songs and I wouldn't be able to turn it off without force resetting it, and even then, the apple support screen would pop up and I would only be able to fix it by then putting it into the outlet. 

I plan on taking the iPod everywhere and I wouldn't be able to force reset and plug it into the outlet everywhere if it happens to freeze. I was hoping that I could get any insight on why this happens? Or if there is any way to fix it?

Super proud of this build.

Hey y'all, I just got my crystal pink faceplate for my 5th gen, but there's a blue thing on the inside of the plate. Do I take that off? I ordered it from EOE. I tried looking up if I'm supposed to, but I couldn't find anything. TIA!
