I got the tools. I got the new batteries. Now wish me luck for replacing the batteries of my 20+ year old iPods. A classic gen 6 and a 3rd gen Nano.
Simon Jaeger@jwildeboer Do you use Rockbox on those, or do you have a way to work with the old library format? I've contemplated getting an iPod or something that can run Rockbox well. Good luck with the repairs.
@simon No. It is and stays original. I can sync it with my m4 MacBook as Apple still fully supports iPods.
@jwildeboer I thought I heard somewhere that many iPod models stopped being supported. That might just be the Apple bias of feeling like they drop every product when it suits them. Happy to be wrong about that.
@simon You are out of luck with the FireWire iPods. But the 30 pin versions are still working just fine. Plug them in, Finder tells you an iPod has been detected and you can fill it up with music, videos, podcasts just fine.
