5th gen iPod resurrection continues.

5th gen iPod resurrection continues. Battery and SD adaptor came in. Installed a 256GB SD and it started up saying it needed to be restored. Hooked to Mac and Finder opened restore dialog, confirm a few steps and off we go! At least I think so, no progress shown on either device. Left overnight and this morning there was a happy ✅ on the iPod (mac said it was still restoring). Unplug, replug, and still needs restore. Tried a couple times before swapping in smaller 4GB SD to hopefully speed things up. Same thing. Found YT video showing extra step of force quitting AMPDeviceDiscoveryAgent process, which worked! More stupid apple tricks authorizing and re-authorizing my music and finally there's music synced to iPod and it's playing!
Well, it looks like it is. Would you believe I can't find headphones with 1/4" jack? All of the ones stuffed in drawers have a lightning connection. 🥹

#iPod #retroThe sad trombone part of this story is that after I got the parts secured and snapped the (tight!) iPod case back together I realized it still had the 4GB SD card installed.

@jerzone very cool!
@coreysnipes Having mostly physical controls (wheel has touch for volume, scrolling) is a treat. Although I'll admit to trying to long press select button to see if there was a second function on one of the screens. ":^)
