r/IpodClassic

Hello! I'm at the step where I have to remove the frame from the front plate. It seems to have a lot of resistance and I worry about forcing it. The logic board doesn't seem to be coming with the frame too. Is this normal? I'd appreciate any help you can give :,)

For reference, my model is the 160gb 6th gen. I've been struggling in finding resources for it online and I don't want to break it

Edit: I’m not trying to remove the frame from the logic board, I just need some advice taking the frame and logic board out of the front panel

I was browsing thru AliExpress, saw a few 30-pin Bluetooth adaptors for very cheap. normally I wouldn't think of getting them, but I have seen them get almost 5 stars from 500+ people, if they are not legit let me know.... also could you guys can share your finds from AliExpress/Alibaba which are actually good? Would be very helpful!

Hello, when I plug my modded (iflash quad) iPod 5th gen into my computer, iTunes does not detect it. I checked my device manager. It’s not there either. I put it in disk mode, nothing. I tried my macbook and my windows 11 pc. All it does is charge. It was literally working a week ago and I was able to sync music from iTunes onto it. I don’t know what else to try. I tried different cables including the original Apple cable, different ports on my PC, restarting my iPod and my computer, all my drivers are up to date.

Edit: I tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it. Didn’t fix it.

Modding first Ipod witha 6th gen and got basically everything good to go but when I moved the internals to the new case the screen stopped turning on. Thinking I messed up the screen itself I got a replacement screen which also doesn't turn on. The computer still makes noise when it plugs in and if I hold up and center it still switches to the other modes but nothing is happening on the screen. I looked at the connector that the ribbon cable goes into and I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Happy to provide any additional information or pictures if needed, please help me save my ipod!

Hey guys,

I am having a problem with my iPod Classic 7th generation displaying the artwork correctly. Read this carefully because I have tinkered a lot and still cannot fully solve the issue.

Ok, so all the album artwork appears correctly when viewing Cover Flow, but when I view that album under the 'Albums" view or under the "Artists" view on the iPod Classic, the album artwork is incorrect. Instead, it shows album artwork that I very recently downloaded manually from the net (about 20-30 albums, because those album covers did not sync at all onto the iPod). However, they have since synced after downloading from an iTunes Artwork site.

It is really annoying because even when the artwork thumbnail on the iPod for albums in the "Artist" or "Album" views is wrong, when I play a song, the correct Cover Flow album artwork indeed shows.

I just want it all to look correct. I have wiped the iPod and resynced several times using Finder on my Mac, but it still stays the same.

Of note, out of frustration, I previously deleted the music artwork cache from the Mac (before I manually downloaded some albums off the net (I followed steps on Google AI), and I wonder if since then, the problem occurred or if it was already like this.

I am completely lost, and I've spent almost 2 days attaching artwork off the net to get Cover Flow, resyncing, and rechecking for it to look right, but the Album and Artist thumbnails in those lists on the iPod are driving me a bit nuts! Haha!

If anyone truly knows how to fix this, could the person provide me with a step-by-step, simple fix that I can do? Thanks a million for reading, folks!

Hello, I’ve got a 6th generation iPod Classic and this cheap dual SD adapter. The memory card I put in it was formatted to FAT32, but when I connected the adapter, reconnected the battery, and plugged it into my computer, I got a red circle with an “X” in the middle. Is there anything I can do to fix it before I decide to buy a new one?
