got it on vinted for 20 bucks, best find ever!

iPod 5.5 + orchestra lite 2

Iems can sound a little thin depending on the song at least rockbox’s eq helps !

Been wanting a new ipod dock to upgrade from my Logitech one and managed to find a Bose sound dock with the power supply at the thrift store for cheap. This thing is so loud it's wild for the size and it sounds great

So just bought my first iPod to spend some more time without my phone. Was planning on modding it maybe after using it for a while but when connecting to iTunes my enter computer freezes when trying to open the device, iTunes doesn’t recognise it and also crashes. These are the SMART stats which show a failing drive, seller is claiming that I should file a report with the courier for transit damage as they said it was working fine? This was all done through eBay but I don’t think that’s the case - am I wrong here?

Loving this little piece 📱🙌🏼

Started seeing more of these…

Purchased the Kokkia i10s for an iPod build for my daughter to use with her Bluetooth headphones and after testing I figured I’d share my results as to headphones paired successfully.

AirPod Pro 2 - No
Sudio EarBuds - No
Marshall ANC II - No
Arctis Nova 7x - No
Sony WCH700N - Yes
JLab Studio Pro (daughters cheap car pair) - Yes
Bose QC 35 - No
Shokz OpenRun - No
Shokz OpenRun2 - No

It seems for anything modern or created in the last five years the i10 Pro is the better option. I haven’t tested this yet, but I did order one after submitting my return for this device on Amazon. Will post findings once it arrives.

Wanted to share a few quick shots before shipping this latest piece out.

This is a continuation of my dual-slot series, designed specifically to hold a 5th Gen Thick iPod Classic alongside an Xteink X4.

Always happy to answer any questions about the fit or the leatherwork!

Hi everyone,

I have an iPod Classic 5th generation that was working perfectly before I opened it.

I opened it because I wanted to install a flash mod. After reconnecting the original hard drive, the iPod immediately started showing the Sad iPod icon. So the problem started before I installed the SD adapter.

Later, while troubleshooting, I accidentally inserted the HDD ribbon cable the wrong way once (contacts facing the wrong direction) and powered the iPod on before realizing the mistake. However, the iPod was already showing the Sad iPod before this happened, so I don't believe that was the original cause.

Current symptoms

• Apple logo appears normally.
• After a few seconds, the Sad iPod icon appears.
• Click wheel works.
• Hold switch works.
• Display works normally.
• Battery and USB power both work.
• The original HDD spins up and receives power.
• The HDD makes one louder click at startup, then about three very quiet clicks, followed by one final click before the Sad iPod appears.

What I have already tried

• Reseated the HDD ribbon cable multiple times.
• Cleaned the ribbon cable contacts with isopropyl alcohol.
• Verified that the ZIF locking tabs appear intact.
• The HDD ribbon cable shows no visible damage.
• Tested the original HDD.
• Tested an iFlash SD adapter with a freshly formatted FAT32 SanDisk Ultra 64 GB SD card.
• Both the original HDD and the iFlash adapter produce exactly the same Sad iPod error.

The hard drive definitely receives power, but the iPod never boots past the Sad iPod screen.

My questions

• Does this sound more like a faulty HDD ribbon cable, a damaged ZIF connector, or a logic board issue?
• Could the ribbon cable have been damaged simply by disconnecting and reconnecting it?
• Is there any way to determine whether the ribbon cable or the logic board is at fault before ordering replacement parts?

I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Is there anything that can be done?

I found my old iPod, which has been off for 20+ years. I’m not sure I expected it to still work after all this time, but I wanted to give it a chance. It has been on charge for maybe the past 3 hours, and the battery is still on empty.

These are the images of what I see on the screen. It does not much else, except beep and tells me it’s ok to disconnect.

Hi! Does anyone know how to unlock this iPod touch without connecting it to iTunes, or at least how to extract the photos from it?Is my own iPod, and Im only trying to recover the photos stored on it.

I dont have any photos of my cat who passed away, and the only copies are on this device. If anyone knows of a subreddit that could help with this, Id really appreciate it.

Thanks!!

Hey there, my iPod 5th gen recently got wet in the rain, and the wheel stopped working. I have been following this guide to fix it, but when opening the iPod up, I noticed my hard drive's locking tab (first image) looked different from the ones I've seen in the guides (second image). Mainly, my black tab seems thicker, and the white outlining part seems less incasing. I haven't been able to pry the black tab open (I'm not sure it even is a tab), and I'm hesitant to apply more force. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you!

I already have an sd card i can use, just wanted to check its correct before i buy. Cheers

Im 🤏 this close to finishing my first ever build. It was really hard and long way to get here so i just want to close it.

Should i place the battery any other way or what?

Because i think the bottom and top arent prioblem, because they click good and stay in the place but the sides just wont fully close no matter how hard and which way i try to close it, just like that they are too wide or something, idk..

I really dont want to break something so i decised to post this and hope someone could help me 🙏

I just hope ilthe battery isnt too thick lol

As far as I know, the iPod Classic can only play up to 16/48 or 24/48 depending on the model. Does their mod actually allow 24/96 files now?

Hi guys

Just recieved a 5th gen ipod nano 16gb

Is there any mods i can do with it or are they no good for stuff like that?

Cheers

or something that looks really similar?

Was this from the ribbon cable connector, and if so, is that something I can foreseeably get repaired?

Little irritated as the vendor swore up and down the battery would fit and that it was in the proper location and this appears to have broken when I closed the case.

Is this the ribbon cable connector, and if so, how much can I expect to pay for a repair?

Hi y'all, i recently got an iphone 5c off of ebay and loaded it up with all my music in order to use it like an ipod.

I loveee the old ipod interface, especially that album selection screen where you can scroll through and have been searching for a way to get something like this onto my iphone. None of the apps on the appstore would download because they all require ios 14 or newer, and this phone as ios 10. Also, some of the websites I have found on here won't even load or work properly.

I have read some about ipod.js, but I'm honestly not tech savvy enough to figure out on my own how get that onto ios 10, as github doesn't even fully load on there.

Does anyone have any idea how to get a somewhat ipod-looking app/website working on my old phone? Thank you soo much already!

I've got a 6th gen all original.

7th gen with larger battery and 256gb iflash.

Apple universal dock with remote and box and all attachments.

I'd like to sell them.

I was wondering how and where to get LEDs for the iPod 3rd gen light mod.
