After a bit of learning, I was able to remove my iPod Video 60 GB HD and replace with your adapter and a flash card:

>>Transcend 32 GB 133x CompactFlash Memory Card TS32GCF133.

It synched just fine.

Many Thanks!

[...] After a bit of research i found that this guy makes adapters that fit exactly into the space where the hard drive was. S0 i purchased one and set about the surgery. I opened the case using a variety of flat objects including a guitar pick and small screwdrivers, I scratched mine pretty bad but with care the replacement can be done without leaving a mark. At the time, the adapter hadnt been tested on an iPod classic 6th generation and so I was sent a 32GB card for experimenting with and in return i gave him pictures for his site. [...]

Anyone try this with a Wintec Filemate Professional 32gb? I’m getting the restore loop nonsense and I can;t get it to work regardless of what I do. I would really appreciate any kind of help at all

Hello,

I have the newest iPod Classic (160GB, late 2009). Will your adapter work with it? Thanks.

Thanks Tarkan,

One other query, will the Kingston 32GB 133x CompactFlash card work with the iFlash?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

The iFlash works fine in the 6g – many people are using them in there 80gb and 160gb Classics.

Hi Tarkan,

Impressed with the work you’ve done and are continuing to do, any more news on compatibility with 6G ipod classics? I have a broken one where it seems probable the hard drive has failed.

Regards,

Galen

Hi Tarkan,

I just do more testing with Ipod classic 6th,

as I said before iFlash works perfect with my iPod 5th with any CF which I have got,

I have tested A-Data ACF16GZ-R 16GB and that one has failed as well with iPod classic 6th

my iPod classic 6th – MB147 version (Rob puts 8gb lexar but his version is MB147LL and works!)

what is difference between MB147 and MB147LL from CF compatibility point of view?

MB147 recognised CF card (cant see red cross, asking for restore) but from disk mode shows 0GB and when try to format form DOS gives IOCTL error, form apple gives: input/output error 1434,

but HS081HA 80gb work perfect! when I put it back

Do you have any experience with Classic MB147 80GB,

is it possible to make work MB147 with CF, which CF card do you recommend by your experience?

Thank you

Mark

Hi Tarkan,

I have bought same card as on your website to make it work,

but does NOT work,

anyway I think must be some apple software protection which we dont understand now,

I have formated CF card via: PC – fat32, Apple HFS+ Journaled

using diffrent version of iTunes and platform…

in my Apple I have got input/output error 1434 – some US forum said that is password protected issue..

also in Disk Mode – 6th is visible but not possible to format and capacity information is 0(zero) GB

I’ve done full zero level format… and does not work

but all works perfect on classic 5th!! no any errors, loops, both on PC and Apple

when I put my half-faulty HS081HA back to 6th 80gb ipod….it works!! it means board and ribbon is good

Now, I’ll order SSD to know if any new SSD drive will work…or give 1434 error (apple protection)

forums said that 6th’s harddrive has got custom made
firmware to allow work with 6th

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark,

The iFlash and them cards do work in the 6g, but I have had a couple of 6g’s which did not work with the above cards – I think they are either different motherboard revisions or a faulty motherboard.

Sounds like you may have a bad 6g board.

I’m just wondering how Rod did managed to put Lexar Premium Series 80x,

I have the same configuration: ipod 6th + Lexar Premium Series 80x + Zif to CF v9

and Does NOT working at all,

I have tried different CF card – Kingston Elite Pro 16GB 133x

and Does NOT working at all,

I have checed on my old ipod 5.5G and all of them working perfect,

but I think ipod 6th have some software issue (Apple protected business by blocking ipods 6th from mod software/hardware)

and only apple stuff hardware/software can work now with ipod 6th,

is anybody at the moment can do something with ipod 6th?
