While going through the restore process the iPod displayed a small cirlce-slash with “Do Not Disconnect” underneath.

The 5th Gen iPod connected with iTunes, then iTunes attempted to restore it.

Tonight I installed the iFlash into a 5th Gen that I already installed an iFlash unit in, a 2015 manufacture model. I replaced the HDD cable on my 6th Gen to see if that made a difference with the same results functions with the original HDD perfectly, same ,problem as below with the iFlash. Very late update to my previous post below (29 March), no idea why I didn’t think of this before. (All photographs courtesy of Rob Hardwick©, used with permission)

I’d like to thank Rob Hardwick and Greg Upton for putting their Classic’s forward for testing!!! Various testing has demonstrated so far that if the CF card works with the iFlash in a iPod Video (5g) then it will probably work in the iPod Classic (6g). Thankfully the pricing is getting very attractive with the 32Gb A-Data approaching $100 (£50), and the other makes following suite. If you exclude the vaporware announced by Pretec and Microdia – 32Gb is still the maximum you can buy in the shops. The iPod works so much better with solid state storage, the cover flow album art feature is smoother with no waiting for the hard drive to spin up – plus the benefit of having another 30-40% of battery life added to the already excellent run times is just great.īad news obviously is that CF cards have not climbed in capacity as hoped for. Not worth mentioning the 160Gb model here as that has plenty of room any way…. Physically the fit is perfect – the iFlash mk2 with its slimmer design is just the right thickness to go in to the slimmer design of the Classic (80gb model). If you are reading this looking at your recently deceased iPod Classic which you dropped and broke the hard drive on, well I have some good news the iFlash works and works very well.

For the last few months I and a few iFlash users have been playing around with Apple’s new incarnation of the iPod – the 6g Classic, with its fancy new operating system and slimmer profile – we wanted to see if the iFlash would work and if Apple still left the back door open for the Compact Flash conversion of their headline media player.
