I cannot use the 500 GB SSD for iTunes inc music library as I have 1.4 TB of music on my iTunes so I use the SSD to run iTunes using remote storage for all my music. However, the PC has a 2 TB hard drive and a 500 GB SSD ‘C’ drive and I cannot get iTunes to work correctly. I expected high speed downloading to my iPods. I recently had to replace my main PC and now have another Dell with 16 GB ram and a 9th gen iCore 7 processor. I restored from a 2019MBP, I needed to connect to a usb-c port, the restore failed when I connected it to a USB2 hub/port in my monitor (which was also connected to another USB2 hub)Ĭan I pose a new strand to these comments please. No need for any other tools for my experience… Once there was a gap, I placed the metal spudge and let it stay there. I used metal spudgers, (three) and plastic prying tools (the sharpest possible, I used the cheap AliExpress ones, that plastic is so soft it can't damage the casing of the iPod.) to create a small gap between the front and back. Take is small steps at a time (<1 mm) and go around until you can open the casing and disconnect the battery ribboncable. Al in all it took me arond 5-10 minutes to open the casing. The front is held with metal clips applying presure between the backcase and front. No additional actions needed and all is fine After that I filled it with 200+GB without a hitch.
I used a single foam pad, placed on the SDcard/slot (included).Īfter install I saw the “restore from iTunes”, as I did. Used a iFlash-SOLO and a Sandisk 256GN Ultra (UHS-I, A1, gray/red).
Just wanted to let everybody know I did a successful mod of a 7th gen (bought with a red cross issue).
I used on the SOlO card a SanDisk Extreme A2 (160MB/s). It has been so long since i have used a card adapter that I notice I had not locked the microSD into the card adapter. I got upset for a minute but decided to re-open the iPod to see if I missed something. After I got the iPod recognized, I could not get iTunes to perform a recovery. The installation of the ribbon adapter and the card were a breeze. My son told me about you guys so I came and checked it out. To the iflash crew, THANKS GUYS!!! I found the iPod after tears of thinking it was lost. It will then recognize the iPod and you should be good to go.
It will show the the device that’s the issue in a pop-up and after running the troubleshooter, it will want a restart. From there, select Hardware and Device options and then run the Hardware troubleshooter. I tried using iTunes and iPod updater and neither saw it. It saw it, but it didn’t know what it was. My roadblock was that my PC wouldn’t recognize it. This is my first iflash card (got a Solo) so I was excited to get it going. Peter, did your PC recognize the iPod? I am running W10.
