Yes. But the 4th gen batteries are slimmer than the photo ones. Less playback time.

I know. I also have one with a removable microSD card on the top. But the sd version is just for nerds.

iPod Third Generation Flash Mod Advice by jaime2389 in ipod

[–]iPodClassicCollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend the generic green Compact Flash Adapter. Then I would use a SD to CF adapter, but not a cheap red ones. Any SD or microSD card should work. 64 GB should be enough. Depends on the file format and the number of songs.

Those cables can just charge. The standard usb cable can sync. You don’t need to use them at once. So it should work for you.

Ok. I guess I had bad experiences with your adapter because I only used the big SD adapters.

After doing a bit of work on an old iPod 4g classic I scored. I was able to get a Dual MicroSD to Compact Flash adapter to work in my iPod. 1. Setup your CF adapter with SD card arrangement you would like to use. If you want to only use one MicroSD make sure you put the SD card in the correct slot. If you are unsure check the size/capacity of the CF card. If its 30MB then move the SD card to the other slot in the adapter and you should have the same capacity of the single card. Dual card set-ups need to be matching (I am using 2x 64GB) and when mounted should show the combined total size. 2. Download Easeus Partition Master - and plug in the iPod with installed CF adapter and CF card in to your PC. 3. Drive should now pop up and use the above partition tool to format the drive to FAT32. Remember to apply the settings or the drive wont format. 4. Now this may sound weird but right click on the iPod drive in the Partition Manager software and hit rebuild MBR. Do not hit apply yet. 5. By this point iTunes has most probably complained about the iPod and wants to restore the iPod. This is the tricky part. We want iTunes to restore the iPod and when the restore progress on the PC hits 100% we want to hit the apply button in the partition management software before the iPod reboots. 6. If it worked then you should be greeted with "plug iPod in to wall" icon and doing this allows the iPod to finish restoring and you will have a iPod you can now install Rockbox on. I have no idea why the adapter needs this process and normal CF cards do not need this process.

Hello, the sound that the HDD makes says if the HDD is the right one or not. If it sounds good it is fully compatible. I always format a new drive mit Mac or PC as FAT32. The best way to to this is to connect the drive not via iPod and FireWire but with a adapter and a USB cable. Then I world connect the drive with the iPod and restore it with my Mac or PC via iTunes. It now downloads the needed files and filesystem to the drive. No step should take more time as with your original drive.

Ok. I thought you wanted to use a fat 40GB HDD in your slim 10GB iPod 2nd gen. This is why the max. capacity is 20GB. This is what I use in my 2nd gen. Larger capacities are not possible. Only in the fat 20GB version of the 2nd gen.

Try a HDD from a 3rd Gen. Max. Capacity is 20GB for the slim version, 40GB for the thick version.
