Trying to use the first iPod, too many years later
Переглядів 488,378
День томуThe first iPod is 18 years old- and I picked one up a bit ago. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it wasn't as easy to get it up and running as a modern device, so in this video let's go over the steps necessary to make the iPod completely usable!

"I don't own any songs on iTunes" yes yes, we were definitely all paying for the music we put on our first gen ipods.
@zyzzyvacation 4 роки тому
Weird thing is nobody actually OWNS songs on iTunes: _If you buy a digital music track or album from the iTunes store or one of its competitors, you don't own it. ... If you buy a digital album from an online service such as the iTunes store, Amazon MP3, or eMusic, you have no legal right to lend that album to a friend, as you could if you had purchased a CD_ . It sounds nuts but those are the terms & conditions😲 Bruce Willis had to deal with this Apple oddity a few years ago, check out the article here >>> www.theguardian.com/film/2012/sep/03/bruce-willis-apple-itunes-library

Excellent job. I’ve got a Classic 160GB 6th Gen. First Apple product I got, got it just before the iPad 4th Gen and iPhone 5. Still works well, seven years later. Battery life is a bit rubbish, but I mainly have it docked into a hifi with an old 30 pin connector onboard. I always preferred the Classic over the other iPods. Storage means more songs. And high quality as well. Kinda got superseded when my iPhone storage matched and surpassed its storage. But still, an absolute gem of a device.

I've also been using my 5th gen iPod for about that long! I had to replace the headphone jack at one point because the left channel wouldn't work unless the headphone cord was bent just right. I switched out the faceplate and click wheel after damaging them from running into the corner of a table at full speed. And a few years ago the hard drive gave me the dreaded death clicks and died on me completely, so I replaced it with an SD card reader and now have a lighter (honestly took a long time to get used to the weight difference!) iPod with double the storage capacity. I'm keeping this undead monstrosity going as long as I can and loving every moment of use. More convenient than using my phone in the car because I can operate it by feel and keep my eyes on the road.

Lmao I remember when these were current, I had a Rio around this time which I thought was just a cheap brand, but they actually invented the mp3 player

The first Apple product I ever bought was a 20 Gig iPod Click Wheel. I bought it new in 2005, and used it daily till around 2011. Meanwhile I bought a 64 Gig iPod Touch 3rd gen in 2008, and still use it daily. I relegated my 20 Gig iPod click wheel to work use when I bought the touch. I purchased a used 30 Gig 5th gen when the 20 Gig died. The 30 Gig still works, but I rarely use it now. I do have plans to convert it to SSD storage since the HDD is really showing signs of wear. My 3rd gen iPod touch is by far the most reliable Apple product I've ever owned, and I respect it more every day. It gets me through my work hours with podcasts and great tunes.

Hey man, I'm trying my 1980s Walkman. No need to plug it in to update.

Impressed at the simplicity of transferring a file between two compatible devices only 18 years old? Boy, let me introduce you the the floppy disk.

Thanks for the great video. I still have the 2nd generation ipod (20 gig hard drive, and the scrolling wheel was replaced with a touch wheel, although it looks identical to your 1st generation). Sadly mine doesn’t boot anymore. I can still access it as an external storage device via firewire on an old iMac, but it would be so awesome if I could still use it for music. I might consider replacing the battery and seeing if that solves the problem.

Love my 2012 iPod Nano, my second mp3 player. :) Got it the fall it was released, I've been using it now throughout these six and a half years, have about 2 GB left of space on it. Friend of mine let me on their Spotify plan recently, which I pay my half for. It's absolutely awesome having all the music at my fingertips, and I can download absolutely anything and everything. But, I'm treating it like radio-on-demand. For albums I like, I'll buy them. :) Really sad they're not updating the Nano, I'd buy one when mine dies.

I still use a 2012 MacBook Pro today. Of course I upgraded the ram and hdd to ssd.
@bagsbunny 4 роки тому
Hatori Hanzo I did the same . Officially the mid 2012 MacBook Pro unibody can take a maximum of 8 Gb RAM. Actually, it accepts and uses 16Gb. I’ve still got SD card reader, FireWire 800, Ethernet, AND optical dvd/cd writer. No intention of replacing it any time soon!
@popcornchicken5552 4 роки тому
Ian Onions I will get rid of it once it stops getting updates from Apple. Sadly I think 2019 will be the last, come 2020 Apple will drop the 2012 models.

Got one of these with a whole bunch of old music from the 80s-90s. Sadly the battery is shot and it only works with when plugged in. Definitely a fond memory from my childhood.
