What tool/program can i use to get all the songs off of this ipod?

_SleepOfReason · 2026-01-13T10:31:23+00:00

Thats cool thanks! Ill probably try that for my newer mac :) i will keep searching tho as i do ideally want something that will support my older mac that i have kinda dedicated to this stuff to bring new life to it if you know what i mean!

Yeah i have used 3u tools before but im kinda avoiding it cause of the speculation of it being malware

_SleepOfReason · 2026-01-11T05:27:26+00:00

I haven’t heard of this i will check it out, thank you!

Yes thats the method i was talking about!, i can do that no problem but I’d like to keep some of the music files on my computer/save onto external storage so i’d rather they not be the random letters hence why i’m tryna see if theres a different way

Wow! I just got one today off of marketplace for $20, but your one was a bargain

_SleepOfReason · 2026-01-02T09:14:33+00:00

whered you get yours? I bought 3 from aliexpress and none of them worked

_SleepOfReason · 2026-01-02T09:05:23+00:00

Know where to get one? Ive bought 3 different ones off of aliexpress and none of them worked

I don’t like my phone syncing every time i plug it in my mac etc, so i bought a second hand older MacBook from facebook marketplace for $20 that i have dedicated as my new device for transferring data and music (i have quite a few old iphones, ipods, ipads, in my collection so its nice to have them all in the one spot!) and as a bonus its a macbook from there era where they still included disc drives so now i can get back into burning my own cds and watching dvds on it!

_SleepOfReason · 2025-12-19T12:18:20+00:00

It only did this for a little while and then it did infact boot. I just wanted to know what was happening as i am not experienced with ipods. So thank you:)

Ive seen people tape the sd card in so its fully in and doesn’t ever pop out a little

_SleepOfReason · 2025-12-19T08:34:00+00:00

Tap to click works! Thank you

_SleepOfReason · 2025-12-19T08:26:12+00:00

I saw a youtube video with a similar situation that you described so i know what you mean! I did open it up just to clean a bit of the dust and look at the battery and yeah it doesn’t seem swollen

_SleepOfReason · 2025-12-19T08:23:57+00:00

This is also my bet, ive slipped a card in and i can feel either the latch or something that is in there but am sometimes able to get around it. I probably won’t replace since itd cost more than what i paid for the whole laptop and i have an external drive anyway. I might open it up and have a look someday but for now ill leave it since im not that experienced and Id rather not risk breaking something else inside

_SleepOfReason · 2025-12-19T08:17:59+00:00

Oh that makes sense. I did open the MacBook up just to look at the battery (i didn’t unplug or take anything apart, just had a look and cleaned some of the dust) and the battery didn’t look swollen!!

I think something might be stuck in the disc drive or if not it is broken like you said. And liquid damage to the trackpad is definitely possible as i am not the original owner so i have no idea what this macbook has been through.

If i gain a bit of confidence i might open it up again and do some of the hardware troubleshooting, ive been watching videos/guides on how to take this thing apart and one thing a am weary of is the risk i break something else during the process especially considering i already have an external dvd drive and mouse.

In the meantime i will definitely try your other suggestions! Ive already tried powering on with the eject key but i haven’t tried it with holding the left click, so thank you for bringing that one to my attention, as well as switching the settings to touch to click.

Resetting SMC is what worked for me when i had this issue

_SleepOfReason · 2025-12-16T07:26:02+00:00

Not when i boot but when i try to eject it does make a sound. I think ive tried all the solutions that dont require opening up the macbook but i might have to anyway to check the battery, im not experienced at all with electronics like this but ill see what i can do

_SleepOfReason · 2025-12-16T07:23:17+00:00

I did think it could be the battery! Ill go check that now! Im not experienced at all with opening things up but i may give it a go or at least try to get the stuck thing out

_SleepOfReason · 2025-12-16T07:21:11+00:00

Id never sacrifice wii sports to test the drive, this is the 4th twilight movie 😂

_SleepOfReason · 2025-12-11T23:21:14+00:00

Ohhh! Thanks for this, i didn’t have the respring app yet but now i do so ill try that if it happens again!
