I Bought A Box of 'Untested' iPods For $25 - Worth it?

Recently I won a listing on eBay for a large lot of 'untested' Apple iPods and various MP3 players. Do any of them work? Did I waste my money? Let's find out :) #Apple #iPods #eBay

iPod Shuffle: The one that doesn't have a screen
iPod Nanos: The ones that aren't iPod Mini
iPod Mini: The one you properly identified as such

Would have been nice to see to what degree the other geniune iPods work, if they show up on the computer, or even if they still have music in them.

Fun video! I was working for Apple from 2004 through 2011ish, and I cannot tell you how many fake iPods people bought in for service. It was a never-ending parade of knockoffs, some hilariously obvious, and some shockingly realistic. This video brought back some fun (and not-so-fun) memories - thanks for making it!

please don't throw out the fakes and others see how they compare

2:25 Pretty popular cheap and cheerful MP3 player back in the day. Coby made some reasonable quality stuff for a low price.

If you still have that iPod Mini, if you have a FireWire Dock cable laying around (And even better, with its 12v adapter), try plugging it in, and it might work just fine ! I saved 5 iPod (1 Classic 5th Gen and 4 3rd Gen) thanks to this, I bought them from a seller selling them as non functional at all, and just saved them all

Do a collaboration with Hugh Jeffrey and let's see how many of them can be recovered

I'd like a dedicated video about the brick mp3 player, the mp3 player that looks like a GPS and the fake iPods, it'd be cool to compare them to the actual iPods too to see how well they work in comparison and what value they have plus if their storage is proper or fake, I'd love to watch you disassemble the big one cause it feels like there might be a mechanical hard drive in it or maybe some kind of big flash storage in it. Also would like to see you restore the ipods

Me: finally a New vídeo without Macs

I remember that massive brick one @ 3:47 very well. It's a aldi branded medion knockoff of the iPod 4th Generation, release around 2005. They were 20GB and bloody ugly as sin.

Those iPad Mini are awesome. Usually, the only thing that goes bad (besides the battery) is the hard drives. If you get at folder with a question mark or similar, that is usually the case. You can shake the hard drive to get it working again. However, you can get a 128GB SD Card and use a CF to SD adapter to replace the mechanical hard drive. Moreover, it will slot right into the iPod Mini connector perfectly, without any modification whatsoever. Since the CF card and the Factory hard drive, both have the same 44 pin IDE interface.

Just in time! A new video of Psivewri!

I thought this was dank pods for a second

[KryptonicHD]

The reflection off the table was straight 🔥🔥🔥

I had a 30GB 5th gen video iPod from 2006 til about four-or-so years ago. Loved it. But in the end the battery barely held its charge, the hard drive was old and smartphones made the iPod completely redundant. But I still kind of want one even today.

Honestly, the only reason i always wathing your video is your voice. I like ur voice, so calm, clear, so good in my ear. love the way u talk.

[thebasketballhistorian]

Would've been funny if the last one was a Zune, and it enranged him purely because it was a Zune. 🤣

[avrel]

You can try changing the battery's and flashing them with new operating system to see if it fixes them

[FeeBee]

Videos like this make me glad that I have kept all most of my tech stuff.

the video player is actually a mini tv.
there is a dvb-t logo on the front. dvb-t was (or is still in some countries i guess) an easy way to get a tv signal using a small antenna.
here in germany dvb-t was shut down a few years ago and replaced by dvb-t2 so the device would be useless here. since the US uses an entirely different standard it's probably also useless to you.
