This might be too late, but now that I have the video, how do I actually get it ON the iPod? Also I'm using an iPod Nano 3 so I adjusted the dimensions to that. It seems that dragging and dropping the file doesn't work.
@@josephalvaro6206 add it to your itunes library, and ensure your iPod is set to sync videos/movies within iTunes. This can be done on the iPod's settings tab within itunes when it's connected. On modern Macs, same process you just do it through Finder
This used to work for me but recently i tried to do it again and not the videos seem glitched and most of the time crash the ipod when i try to exit to the menu. I check to make sure it isn't the video itself before i put it on the ipod and i have no clue if it is the ipod or the converter. Any advice?
@@spottedtango what?? All you need is the Rocky5 endgame exploit now, transfer it to a USB drive with FATXplorer, plug it into Xbox with a USB to Xbox cable and run it.. That is all the steps to softmod a new Xbox..
Good evening, I'm looking to buy one of this Mac Pro 5.1 from 2012 to use in a virtualization homelab and I would like to know if anyone has managed to use more than the memory reported by Apple, I imagine that according to them this machine supports up to 8 x 32GB... which would be 256 with a dual processor, with each 6-core processor of this generation individually supporting 288GB... so could it be viable to use 8 x 64GB to run Proxmox or Nutanix? thanks...
sure, but in this usecase it would be hard to justify. unless you're getting it for free, a true blade or workstation from the first gen core series or it's xeon counterpart can be had much cheaper than a macpro 5,1 with better aftermarket support meanwhile using the same generation of hardware. For the same typical price you could also get newer, faster hardware in those form factors. possibly something from LGA2011 X99/E5-V3/4 or X299/LGA2066
Hey great video. After installing Monterey did the bluetooth module work? I have the upgraded wifi/bluetooth module. Wifi is working fine but bluetooth will not even open the bluetooth preference pane. Seems that opencore removes it? Not sure what happens. Switching back to HS, Mojave or Catalina and the bluetooth works fine again.
OCLP post-root patch should cover that issue, at least with a stock card. If you've replaced your airport card you'll need a kext for that card to be injected via opencore config.
Thanks for this. Didn't think that the mbr thing would make a difference after multiple Linux format, but it was a game changer for failing iTunes resets on multiple cards. Was giving up, but it worked immediately after this. 🙏🏻 Bonus tip a strip of thin slidey plastic like a washed milk container made getting it Back in without fouling a piece of cake.
I flashed moded 5 iPod minis and I would say get Samsung cards if you want the most storage. For a 256GB card, Samsung gives you 239GB shown in the iPod, SanDisk gives you 238GB, and non NAND flash manufacturer brands will likely only give you 233GB, including Lexar. That 5 more gigabytes are not that important to me, because the iPods cannot play or store losses(losses would be converted to mp3 when you sync it to the iPod). The best we could get, 320k MP3 files, are not likely gonna fill the full storage before hitting the 25000 sounds barrier.
For the most part i like EOE. There quality seems to be better then some ebay vendors i have used in the past. Processing and shipping an order isnt going to break any speed records though. But maybe i am just jaded from amazons two day shipping. I still buy from now.
Every instruction about Mac Pro and Mojave assumes you have functioning MacOS. What to do it you got Mac PRO without disc and you don't have secondary mac. ?
Option+CMD+R to start web recovery, might not work though due to the age of the last supported os. If it does you can upgrade from there with this guide to High Serria support.apple.com/en-us/101578 Or what's more likely to work is, you can use the "create the usb" sections of the Dortania's guide to grab MacOS on another os. Simply ignore the bits pertaining to OpenCore dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/linux-install.html#downloading-macos
It looked like the faceplate went on like a breeze without fitment issues like some of the ebay replacements. I'm looking to get a 5.5 gen here soon and the atomic Nebula style looks right up my alley. Was wondering how it has held up so far to wear and tear? Also another quick question, do you think it's better to get a fat back VS slim as a base for modding? Heard that the fat ones have more Ram. Nice video!
Personally I run a clear protective outer-shell. Aftermarket faces tend to scratch pretty easy. I run a fat motherboard (thick back) in a slim case, so best of both worlds there. My faceplate is immaculate, but been cased it's whole life, so I'm sure that's why.
you might think that but exFAT didn't exist when most iPods were made. I guarantee your iPods are formatted fat 32. Going through these motions just ensures that you get a proper MBR sector so that the file system plays nicely. Some models and storage media play nicer than others, and I'm trying to be as general as possible for maximum success chance.
@@spottedtango Good to know, thanks. I have this 7th gen with ordered parts. I wanna make it fat with a 3000mah batt and 1tb. The plan is to never open it again. So i ll try fat32 and leave it like that
@nfsu22009 sure! Lss, when you restore an iPod, the disk is reformed into fat32, however if it's not been previously formatted fat32 with a normal MBR, it might fail the restore.
@@spottedtango What if the ipod has an hdd? I can't plug in the hdd in the pc. Can i just restore the whole ipod? and id yes, can I also do the same with the iflash card so that I don't have to open the ipod? Sorry for bothering you, I m new to ipods.
I ordered a few parts about two weeks ago from EOE. Haven’t heard any update at all. Reached out to him a couple days ago and have had no response. I understand it’s just him and maybe one other guy and it was a very small order, so I’m not too worried about it. But it definitely makes me want to consider other sources in the future.
It was a good run met allot of cool people and had allot of good times. I'll never forget the awesome shit that happened on that server and the people I met even if I don't speak with them today I hope life has been treating you good and I know we both are probably very different people since we last spoke.
Do NOT purchase from them. It’s a scam!! I spent over $30 for a FireWire cable and charger. They never sent it and won’t respond to my emails. I’m now having to deal with my bank for a fraudulent charge to try to get my money back.
Had a custom job from him that was defective out of the box, screen went white when menu button was pressed. The faceplate also did not align correctly, and there was a plastic chunk under the faceplate screen area. I tried to RMA it, but he sent it right back in my box unopened. Return period exceeded. I am overseas (in american territory) therefore batteries can't be air mailed, they take the slow boat. The entire return period was just me waiting for delivery. I eventually opened it up to fix and here's what I found. -Display PCB was missing an insulating layer causing the whiteout issue. Major wtf, metal-metal contact with tarkan board -Wrong screws used on 30 pin fascia causing faceplate to be misaligned. From the bottom of an iphone 3g or something -Headphone jack assy missing one of the screw holes, broken off. Held on by one screw. Also the wrong version of a logic board.
I assume that's a quirk of booting off opencore/OCLP. part of it's job is to spoof system information to allow installation of and the running of newer versions of macOS on legacy hardware. The firmware version is correct when booting Mojave without opencore, and if you're planning on flashing your firmware: do not do so while booted through opencore!
Good day Luke, I have a Mac Pro 4,1 that has been flash to a 5,1 with 2010 firmware installed upgrade from 2009. I want to know if I could get some assistance from you on this unit. I am a PC guy and have built many Pc units for my studio. Thought I would start triny to come over to MAC., I have some question if you willing to help sir. Let me know and I can tell you the story on this unit and the headache it has caused my pockets. thanks for your time. Lance
@@lancheloth Best purchase i made, i paid $25 dlls, no charger included, had to buy one for $20 dlls. Thats $45 dlls total. this things are build rock solid.
@@miguelangel-go7xj wow that's a very good price.. I am looking a unit around 150 but it have separated GPU.. Need to upgrade the ram and storage though but it will be like a side project... How much ram it can use? 32 GB?
Afaik those are not much different from the rest of the line, barring the hand-dyed transparent faceplate. I have and am running an atomic faceplate as we speak. it's a solid product at a small premium over other aftermarket faceplates, the option is nice if the aesthetic appeals to you. Again, EOE is a retailer. Most of the products there can be obtained elsewhere, but I still shop there myself for the convenience of one-stop and one-ship to most people who build for others, it's very much worth the extra $20-50 to save 1-3? months of overseas. Plus you get a good warranty. Full disclosure, I actually moderate for EoE in their discord, for whatever bias that's worth. I also am not infallible, so make your own judgement.
One question. Should I change my bluetooth devices for Mac pro 5.1 from high sierra to Mojave ( then mojave to Monterey ) ? I do not want to invest in bluetooth 4.0 or 4.2.
You say "I really recommend dual booting between Mojave, because it's the latest natively supported operating system and an open core OS of your choice, this is because open core won't boot Mojave or anything lower. That means that in the event where you need to troubleshoot something because you have a dead drive you'll need to be able to boot those older os's, and without boot screen support you won't be able to deselect the EFI boot…" Okay, I'm confused. You say you recommend booting between Mojave and open core OS of choice, but then you say open core won't boot Mojave or anything lower.
Yeah, OpenCore is a boot loader. You select it as a boot option from the native Mac bootloader. You can also select a regular and supported version of macOS as opposed to OpenCore from the native Mac bootloader as long as: the Mac natively supports the os and the mac has proper graphics support in the form of a flashed card or flashed bootROM. You would do so by holding Option/Alt on power on.
I 100 percent agree with you about the Mini’s screen. It probably the best monochrome screen besides the 3rd Gen. I find these are the best iPods. Its small and compact, battery lasts for ages, easy to mod with flash storage, shell swaps, backlight mod, and even replacing the click wheel plastic.
I'm happy with my 2010. Found a flashed GTX 680 on eBay. Then added a USB 3 card. Then put a 2.5" SSD in an adapter into a drive bay. Then put a NVME in a PCI-e card. It's quite the machine now. Bootable with Monterey, Mohave, or Windows. One note, the SATA ports are SATA 2, don't bother spending extra money for superfast SSDs. The NVME in PCI-e slot is noticeably faster.
did you ever try repalcing the 2032 battery on the logic board of the mac pro, i have seen issues where the 5,1 wont do anything not even make the start up chime, because of the dead battery on the board.
Well hopefully the replacement machine fairs you better than then the mac pro did, if it wasn't for your videos i don't think i would be running a mac pro at all. If you ever decide to try to get that machine running again and need access to parts let me know, ill gladly send you anything you need! I appreciate the reply and the videos man! @@spottedtango
@@GCDSHOP182 Thanks man! I definitely still love the 5,1 but until someone makes an ATX conversion kit for it, it's dead to me. After blowing through 3 power supplies, it's dawned on me that I have terrible luck. They're all ticking ever closer to EOL at a hardware level sadly. I won't trust another 20 year old PSU that hasn't been rebuilt, I haven't found a rebuild service for those, and even still, I think an off the shelf PSU would make more sense for the 5,1 at this point anyway.
