Hi tarkan,

its been a while since i last tried the old ipod but it still doesn’t work i have tried literally everything and actually broken the adapter by fiddeling with it. Its a 6g 80Gb ipod classic has someone out there actually got this combo to work? or is this some stupid apple protection, if so is there anyway to bypass it.

Hi,

Have you tried another CF card? it is worth testing with another smaller card something like a 512Mb, 1Gb or 2Gb to test.

I would also try removing the iFlash and the hdd ribbon and re-attaching them making sure ribbon is fully home.

Give that a try and send me an email with how you get on.

HELP! I have an ipod video 5G, and I bought your card and the Transcend 32GB (TS32GCF400). I got that combination from the compatibility page. I also purchased a new battery for my ipod as the old one wasn’t holding a charge. I followed the step by step procedures to install the CF card and the adapter. However, when I plug it in, I get the unhappy face. and a low battery warning. It charges for a while, reboots and then I get the sad face icon. Please help???? Thanks. Joe

Hi,

I doubt you have a problem with the adaptor, as they are all tested.

What cards have you tested? and have you checked that the iPod and iFlash are communicating, by placing the iPod in to diskmode and checking you can read and write to the CF card like a hard drive.

I bought the adapter for my classic 6g but i’ve wasted my money on at least 3 cf cards.

Paul,

When you say windows see the card – do you mean you can access the iPod as an hard drive and read/write/format it?

Also which cards have you tried?

Have you tried doing a restore with iTunes?, it could be that you need to format the card as it has the 6th gen software on it.

I could use your help… I have your adapter and a CF card (Kinsington 32 gig). They worked will with my 6 gen ipod, but i just put a SSD in the 6 gen. I tried to put this in my 5 gen. The 5 gen works perfectly with the old driv ein, but I get the apple followed by the frowny support screen when this is in. I’m guessing this is because the CF needs to be formatted? How should I fix this?
