Replaced the HDD with the adapter, and a Class 1 CF Card to MicroSD Adapter, and a 64GB Sandisk Class 10/U1 MicroSD. Hi, I am trying to do this upgrade on a 4th gen iPOD for a Friend. I read a Ton of posts+comments on multiple sites before attempting this mod myself. So, I figured I would mention this info just in case it might be useful to you. Your iPod is a newer model than my black+white clickwheel, so I'm not sure. I'm assuming your model iPod originally shipped with a firewire adapter. Once they plugged in the FW, they were able to finish the restore, and everything worked just fine. I read a couple of posts from guys who couldn't finish the restore until they dug out their original firewire power adapters. They will work on the 5v output of usb, but for certain operations like a restore, it needs the precise voltage that firewire supplies. I am not at all an expert on this topic, and just followed simple directions.īut the one thing that I couldn't tell from your post, was if you tried the final restore using a firewire power adapter, or usb?įrom what I've read, these ipods are very picky when it comes to voltage. I was expecting a hiccup or two, from all the posts I'd read. I was surprised when everything worked with no problems, on my first attempt. I recently revived my 20g 4th gen click-wheel with a 64gb sd card, that gave me 59.6gb capacity. After resetting it, if I power it up and go to "About", I get what appears to be the proper indication: If I unplug the Ipod, it stays frozen on the DO NOT DISCONNECT screen until I do a reset. A pop-up appeared telling me that the USB device that was last plugged in was not recognized. After maybe 30sec, I heard the "you've just unplugged a USB device" chime from Windows. The "DO NOT DISCONNECT" screen appeared on the Ipod. I heard the normal Windows "you've just plugged in a USB device" chime, but ITunes didn't indicate that any Ipod was plugged in. After charging for a bit, I unplugged it from the wall and plugged it back into the desktop. However, that's as far as I could get it to go. I selected English, it thought for a second, and then it displayed the main menu (Music, Photos, Extras, Settings, Shuffle Songs, Backlight). I plugged it into the wall and the Ipod started up and prompted me to select a language. I unplugged the USB from the desktop and the Ipod had a little icon on the screen indicating "plug me into the wall". Once ITunes was done, it told me to plug the Ipod into a wall outlet to finish the process. So I clicked "Restore Ipod" a progress bar showed "Restoring Ipod", which took maybe 20 or 30sec. I acknowledged that pop-up, and there was a window in ITunes offering me to do the restore. ITunes started, and a pop-up window said something along the lines of, "You've plugged in an Ipod that appears to be corrupted. I plugged the Ipod into the desktop for the first time after installing the adapter and CF card. So now it was time to see if it would work. I peeled the blue rubber/polyurethane "bumper" off the original HD, cut it into pieces, and used those as padding around the CF drive so it wasn't so loose in the case.
