Yes, put in a new 2000mah battery that I had on another iPod.

I'm having an issue with a 128gb SDXC 5th gen video. I've restored and added music to it fine. But after a while when I switched it on it was asking to be restored again. I plugged it in and there was no need to do so. Happened AGAIN and now my pc won't recognise the iPod either on iTunes or my...

There is a slight difference. The 6g tend to have a green/red/pink plastic bit covering the electronics whilst the 7g tend not to. Also the 7th have a screw which the 6g don't. Thats how I can tell them apart. Having said that I have been able to get a 7g to work on a 6g.  If anyone has the...

I've had issues with LCDs. When I put a 160gb 7th gen LCD to a 120gb or 6th gen I Always get a white screen and vice versa. 

Yes give or take 50k. Thats why some people use rockbox on their iPod as it allows them to add many more songs to the iPod and you can customise it. I have no experience with rockbox so others here maybe more helpful.  If you have a 30gb version (32mb ram board) you'd have issues with freezing...

1. Yes you can use any you want depending on thin or thick version and if you want silver Botton with white headphone jack or both in black used with the 6/7th gens but can also be used with 5th.  2. That could well be from the battery, but from experience that could be for various reasons. Not...

  I got it working after around 6 solid hours around it. No joke  If you get the sad face or Red Cross it simply means its not connected properly via the zif cable. (too tight) Maybe put some electrical tape on the cable to prevent moving You will need to add something around the bottom to...

I've actually managed to do it in disk mode shortly after posting. Just not on recovery mode.  if you mean IO>HardDrive>HDSMARTData it only gives the the temperature data. I've made some before where it doesnt give me the storage data both green adaptor and iflash.    Funnily enough it now...

I'm looking for a bit of help if possible.  I'm currently trying to mod an iPod 6g with the cheap generic sdxc adaptors along with cf-sd using a 128gb sandisk ultra sdxc.    I managed to get it to sync a track just to test and it worked. I then tried repeating the process but with over 3,000...

The 128gb 7dayshop sdxc are compatible as I've used them before. However I did run into a little trouble with my last mod but I was using the generic adaptor. When did you get that card? Like someone's said here before it could just be a bad batch. Have you tried them separately to see if it's...

For a 5th gen 60gb you'd need one for a thick case. You can buy one for 5th gen 60gb or 80gb which come with white/silver buttons or for 6th gen 160gb which comes with black buttons. 7th gen are all slim. Just look out for thick backs.

I apologise for that. I'm relatively new to posting in forums eventhough ive been following this thread for a while. I mentioned earlier that I'm using a 7dayshop 128gb sdxc which is on tarkans recommended list. I've never had any issues with them previously especially with the iflash. There's...

You can get 2000mah batteries on eBay from canamyfly2013 Whilst for parts I tend to use yuehengtechnology or Casanovajobs, both eBay sellers. They tend to be my favourites if I'm in no rush to get the parts. If I want a quick delivery I'll use mrdlt which is in my view the best uk seller. I'd...

I don't usually format sdxc cards either. I've also never had any problems with the one I mentioned. I doubt it would be a problem if used with a mac? The iPod is still recognised by mac/iTunes. It just won't allow it to restore as it says the iPod is busy. So you're saying you've restored...

That's what I did initially. But this way it cannot be used by a mac Isn't hfs the same as extended journaled?

I no longer have access to the iPod as it was made for someone else. If I had do you think formatting it as extended journaled would work? I'm aware of that thread but tarkan himself doesn't mention anything other than mac have their own apps. @greatd78 I'm using a 7dayshop 128gb which I've...

That's when I get the error. iTunes saying the iPod is busy. And won't let me do anything else

Yes, I'm trying windows to mac. Do you know a work around it?

Has anyone had any problems installing an SDXC card on ipod to use with Mac OS? After formatting with windows it now says the iPod is busy when i attempt to restore on mac. I'm kind of sure it's to do with the migration from windows to mac. What formatting do I need to carry out on sdxc and...

@rilke What error were you getting and how did you fix it? I've bought a few of these and not all work. Not only that but it also depends on the ipod. It works on some and not on others.

Yes in order to make it a slim model you just need a slimmer battery. Yes you can get the kit. Some come with the click wheel also which you won't need. However with the new front plate your click wheel could be sunken as I believe they're thinner. In the 6th gen the 160gb version is thick...

Whilst for the front plate you'd need to change the mid frame for a 6th gen. you can buy them relatively cheap.

You can only use a thinner back plate if you also change battery. The thicker backs come with a bigger battery.

Hi guys. Been reading this post for a while and was wondering if you could help. I've recently bought a couple of iPods 5th & 6th gens. I've been able to put 128gb sdxc cards on them with tarkans solo adaptor and those generic Chinese zif to compact flash with cf-sd adaptors. But I've been...
