iPod Calling all iPod collectors...

I have buying one from Honk Kong. It is true. You are too much suspicious...


IPodcollector, your 4G is not a refurb, it was produced in 2004 and 2005 and was solded at the time that the iPod photo in 2005! Look at Wikipédia!!!

This is the iPod Color who replace the iPod 4G screen black and white and the iPod photo. I'm sûre you are wrong now...

Sorry, but that is incorrect.
If you look closely at the picture I published, modelno is M9282LL/A, which is the original 4th gen iPod. The picture on the box is also of an ipod with monochrome screen. This ipod was produced 2 months after the iPod color was introduced, thus is a refurb (which the Q in the serialnumber also indicates).

Apple probably produced many refurb 4th gens in 2004, as it was launched in june 2004, and yours is produced in august 2004.

If you still have questions, please ask them on PM. I think we should stop spamming this thread with these questions:rolleyes:

(Im not 100% sure your ipod is a refurb, but I think it is)! Its a nice looking iPod though.
 
I attached my latest iPod collection.

I have two 10GB first gens (the one on the stand is still in shrink wrap :)), 20GB 3rd gen, 20GB 4th gen, 60GB 5th gen, 120GB classic, 4GB mini, and a 2GB 3rd gen shuffle.

Matty Mac - How do you get your 1st gens to stay on the stands? The one I have on a stand is in a case :confused:

Let me know what everyone thinks!

Habitus :apple:

Wow, sounds like a very expensive collection. Do you have them on display at home?

He means do you have them set out for people to see on some sort of shelf or something like that.

...Or do you have them put away in storage.
 
Thanks MattyMac! No I don't have them set out for people to see but I want a shop window to expose them. Alls my iPods (expect my iPod Classic and iPod nano 5G) are in their boxes in my cupboard.:D

Yeah thats what I meant.
I keep mine on show in a shelving unit underneath my TV so everyone can see them. They look pretty awesome on display.
 
I'm going to post a photo soon. I'm also going to post some pics of a 5th gen Video U2 that i've modified, it cost alot but it's pretty cool.
 
Yeah it's one of the best looking ones.
Unfortunately mine isn't an original, I just bought the case from eBay.

These are two U2 iPods on eBay.

220536028180 - I don't think this one sold so they might still have it.

Modified 5th Gen Video

The first picture below shows both of my 5th Gen Videos with the one on top with the standard 30GB HDD and the bottom one is my modified U2 version.
I bought a faulty 5th gen online and added the U2 housing. Then I bought an 'iFlash' adapter so that I could install a 16GB CF card. You are able to get a 32GB (and possibly a 64GB) but I don't want to spend that much at the moment. The advantages of the flash drive are that it's a fair bit lighter and has a longer battery life as there are no moving parts (also the flash drive is more durable if the iPod is dropped). So far i've had no problems and it seems to be working well.

Is it easy to convert to flash? Ive never worked on a video before but I have worked on nanos so the video should be easier?
 
The hardest thing is getting the back off but once you've done that it's really easy. I've done quite a few simple repairs like battery, LCD and logic board, so i'm quite good at opening them now.
The 'iFlash' converter cost £14 and the 16GB CF card was £31 (a 64GB CF card costs about £67).
I also bought an SD to CF converter for £11 and that will allow me to install a 32GB SD card which will only cost £25.
And then all you do is restore your iPod.
 
I'm looking for what seems to be the rarest iPod. No, not the 1st gen, I already have that, but the Harry Potter edition that was released in 2005ish. I'm a massive Harry Potter fan (sad, I know), and to get that iPod would be absolutely amazing. But to date, I've never seen one on eBay, has anyone else?
