Hi everybody and thanks for accepting me here. I’ve got a 4th gen 40Gb and a Photo 20Gb first series. In short: about 4 years ago both hard disks died; I replaced them with two micro SDs and relative converters from compact flash to IDE 50 points + relative adapters from SD to compact flash; everything went smoothly until a month ago. Both micro SDs died; at least that’s what I thought. No problem; I buy two SDs, mount them and…there’s no way to make the two iPods work anymore; sad face or bad battery or the simple invitation to go to assistance. Sometimes, just an apple that stays there forever. A couple of times they gave me Error 1429; I also changed the two batteries (they were dead); I tried to format from the PC, with and without iTunes: nothing doing. Either I’m told that the iPods are corrupt or I’m asked to restore, in a loop. This is both on the iMac and on the PC; with USB and with FireWire. However, both enter Diagnostic Mode and run all the diagnostic tests; I can also put them in Disk Mode. But if I reboot and connect them to an iMac or Windows 10 the problems always return the same.
Any suggestions? Many thanks.
