Hi man ! I've got same MMC to CF adapter then when I plug it on motherboard my device doesn't detect inserted memory ! but when I check the adapter the small LED on it light on !
This is for converting from HDD to flash memory. The ipod touch already has flash memory (as far as I know), so it would be pointless. So in short: no you can't.
Whoa, you have a YouTube channel xD? Dude, iFlash rocks! I love it and I'm using it right now! BTW, I was wondering of you could recommended a good replacement battery for an iPod video 5g? In the world of crappy Chinese knock offs, it's hard to tell what's good and what's not.
just installed 4gb card into ex-30gb ipod which falls into "recovery mode" cycle. i can see/read/write cf from my mac but ipod still try to "recover". is it ok?
how can people odnt get it, imagine these: hd failed is no more working, ipod hd cost 180 usd, so if you dont want the same problem but a few months later, you just install a new cf card that wont fail y you hd crash the earth!!!
why would someone buy a 160gb ipod and mod it to a compact flash 4gb drive? Has anyone ever moded the ipod to say a 320 external HD? THAT would be cool! should be easy to do. constant 5v stream (I assume ipod runs on a 5v stream)
ShaliakhYeshai holy shit im working on a mod like that right now! i actually came to this video for help. i got a zif to female usb adapter made, but i cant get itunes to restore it, so i need to put the firmware on manually. if anyone has done the compact flash mod please pm me so u can help! i need you to plug ur cf card after u restored it into your computer and clone it and send the clone to me. lol any help would be appreciated
umm thats the ipod video the highest gb it had was 80gb ,, but ye it is dumb,, but think about iit if yu drop a hard drive ipod,, yur screwed,, when the hardrive fucks up yu need to buy a new one ,,100 bux at least,, but the worst thing that can happen ere is the mem card falls out,, and yu can buy more as well altho its a bitch changing them often if yu need too,,
holy crap $69.99 for the 32 gig A-Data CF card @ newegg, last time i checked it was $79.99, I hope im not annoying anyone like this by the price updates, how low could it go
damn, so it's vapourware? with the advent of cheap sd cards I think compact flash is slowly being pushed out of the mainstream market of memorycards. And I've read somewhere that an sd to compact flash adaptors won't work on ipods.
What tipe of compact card are compatibles couse i do the mod but itunes not recognize the ipod and the pc just try to format the new disk but nothing happens when i say yes to the format window. i just tried whit a 16gb kingston elite pro
have you tried the 64gb compact flash card from microdia yet? although I'm skeptical it will work because it's compact flash type I and it doesn't say 'ATA Compatible' on the specifications. What about the samsung 64gb? or it hasn't come out in the market yet?
My Video iPod started having the click of death a week or so ago. Ordered your adapter and I'm completely satisfied it.
Used the installation video and in 5 minutes my iPod was restored and working using a 4GB CF card I had! I'm stoked!!!
It runs much faster than it did with the HD, and from what I've read it will use less battery power as well. But even better, I can now go jogging with it.
You are kind of the only game in town when it comes to upgrading a video ipod with flash I guess. Good times. In America, that 20 Pounds costs us a lot more!
Your battery analysis is very respectable on your website. I've never seen it done like that before. I just got a CF adapter for my older iPod and will buy yours for my bro's iPod when his HDD goes bad.
Well my 30gb hard drive became faulty, and for the price of a new hard drive I could use the adaptor and a 16GB CF card to give me an ipod which has longer battery life and without the mechanical failure of a hard drive.
it would be cool if a company like SanDisk made a 30 gig CF card b/c my video ipod is 30 gigs id like to maybe replace the HD in it with CF memory and a new battery and maybe ill get better battery life
thats cool whats a 30 gig ipod HD cost 15,000 maybe 149.99 is better than that anf ypu prob actually get 30 gigs even formatted, i think they should make cards so you are able to use the advertised size and not a smaller amount
thats awesome BTW the price is a little lower than that now and this is an awesome hack, hey apple face it hard drives sre for computers not ipods flash memory is for mp3 players/ipods b/c flash memory is more battery friendly than hard drives and hard drives will eventually fail b/c of moving parts but thats not saying flash memory wong but its a hell of a lot more reliable than a hard drive
that sounds good, ive actually opened my ipod once with a pocket knife to try to reset the battery meter i was hoping that would reset it but all it did was reset the time
test

SD to CF adaptors do actually work - I have tried one out.
I have not tested any of the new SDHC to CF adaptors - I do not see why they would not work, but until it is tested you never know!!!

Flash memory is a superior technology but the size of 16GB is great for mp3's but no movies.
