ahh you got me there buddy suppose I was wrong about this thing you know its never bad to be wrong its only bad not to admit your wrong lol i suppose all those days at the apple store weren't really bring us much experience about how some people can manipulate apple products. but still people do use photoshop to ridicules extents like this time where this guy claimed he had a leaked webpage of the new specs for the new macbook air and IT WAS SO obvious that it was a photoshop piece of work. so i still have a point. ahhhh
Well, photoshopping a new MacBook or iPhone I can understand because it would make everyone excited or something like that, but who would bother to photoshop something as mundane as this? It's just a different type of drive which people already suspected would work, put into an old iPod.
Since when did disk utility use those hard drive icons or that burn icon?? Seems a little scammy to me.
Looks like he's modified the icons with custom icons using an application like Candybar. Nothing special, I did it on my Air too.
If he really did photoshop it I suspect he'd have just used a stock Disk Utility image...
That's not to say that others in this board were not able to modify their iPods, but the OP has yet to respond as far as I was able to tell and also did not post pictures of the device.
That's because this thread was started in 2010. OP probably hasn't looked at this thread since then. He does seem to be still active though so he might pop in.
Well, I do have a reasons to doubt the OP. Not only the ones that I already stated but also the fact that both iTunes and disk utility register different capacities for the device.
Take a look at what OP clicked in Disk Utility- he's selected the drive itself. That's the total capacity. The space available to the user after formatting (i.e. what iTunes and the iPod sees) is less.
Disk utility should register 128.xxx GB of space on the SSD, but it only registers 126.16?
No, it should not. My 512GB SSD shows up as 500.28GB in Disk Utility. It's how computers read storage.
iTunes registers 117.44 GB capacity.There is no way that the iPod video OS took up almost 11GB of space on the SSD. If that was the case, then my iPod(which is the same model) would only have 20 GB of usable space on it; and that's not the case.
Read above. Computers read memory different from what the box says.
And according to the screenshot, iTunes will check for the next update on August 1, 2010. I'm glad the OP finally got it to work and then traveled back in time so he could put his DRAKE playlist on there.
Yes, that's because OP posted on July 30, 2010. You might as well tell me that he's using an old version of iTunes with the color icons
And sure, others might have modified their iPods, but not the OP. If you look at other "disks" on the OP's disk utility, you'll see another 128 GB SSD on there below the main drive(which is a "121.33 GB APPLE SSD TS..."). That wouldn't happen as far as I know.
My MacBook's 512GB drive reports as a 500.28GB APPLE SSD SM512 Media in Disk Utility. Once again, computers do not see what the manufacturers claim.
And it's also the wrong ODD icon in addition to the hard drive icons.
Modified icons as stated above.
Basically, you can name anything you want "xxxxx 128 GB SSD," but that doesn't mean that it is.
Yes, except for the fact that he's posted a Disk Utility shot showing what the actual drive capacity is.
As an example, when I was a kid, I found what I thought was a blank VHS and wrote "Transformers" on it. As it turns out, it was still a copy of the Super Bowl, and I was one disappointed kid...
Irrelevant. I'm not even looking at the drive label, I could label that drive as '1000TB Dragons' and it wouldn't matter. I'm only looking at the numbers that Disk Utility is reporting.
You seem to be very confused about how computers read storage vs what manufacturers state. I suggest you read this article:
