I love the passion for this king of the nuggets, here's more context! I tried for ages to get it to appear without wiping it but it was MIA. I just edited out the 15 minutes of "awh noe, this aint a real guy is it?". Folks think the OS was lost after its battle with Disk Utility but it booted into it afterwards! I shouldn't have removed the footage of me browsing the settings as it was way boring but totally showed that it was working. It happily took files from the computer! I also tried FAT32 off camera but again, way boring. It's a nugget. In retrospect I should have tried using it before wiping it and for that I blame Frank but also apologise on her behalf. But it was a ScamPod, the idiot didn't even know how much storage it really had. It crashed and boot looped the whole time using it and I bet it was never meant to actually "work". But I could pull it apart like an orange and that's what really mattress 🛏. Frank says nothing.

None of this was good or funny. I do be bein gay doe.

BTW, masquerading smalls disks as large disks is still something that happens when you buy modern USB drives and SSDs. See, your system doesn't actually check how much data it can read/write to a disk... (that'd take forever!) it just asks the firmware on the drive how big it is. The firmware/controller also determines what happens when you try to write too much data; so it could just not save anything or loop back and start overwriting at the beginning. So never buy storage from any brand you don't already trust, and always keep 3 backups of anything important.

That actually looks convincing. They got the finish right, and they even got the iPod font right (which you would think would be easy but most of these guys get it wrong), I mean, the box couldn't look more fake, but the product itself looks kind of convincing, probably enough to fool your friends, as long as you don't let them look closely at the UI. The egg bag looks suspect though, wouldn't use that. Almost seems like the box wasn't designed by the same company that designed the device, maybe a company just bought a ton of these wholesale and they didn't come with boxes, so they made their own half assed attempt which just completely ruins the illusion that it's a legitimate product. But at least they have a box so that it doesn't break in shipping (hopefully) Shame it doesn't actually work. Maybe it's saying disk error because it's looking for files inside specifically named folders, but there were no folders on the storage so how are you supposed to guess what they should be called? Maybe you need to use the software on the disc it came with to create the folders and put things in the right places... Or maybe it just doesn't support Mac format. Try FAT16 or FAT32?

I think when you plugged in the "iPod" to your iMac and formatted it, you might've deleted some files that the "iPod" was using, or, even more likely, the "iPod" had folders in it, and it read from those specific folders, not from the main folder. I doubt you can use this info now judging from the... uhh.. state of the nugget in question, but I still wanted to post a comment about this.

Also could be due to the fact that macOS usually formats things specifically for macos, which the "iPod" probably doesn't support. (It most likely supports FAT32 only)

that's definitely the case. I had a stinky Nano clone, and you actually had to put music in "MUSIC" and video in "MOVIE"

8:15 The Wii's DVD drive could accept GameCube discs, however, meaning it's not necessarily the inability of slot drives to accept small discs so much as it is the unwillingness of companies to engineer a way to accept small discs.

You *CAN* jailbroken for it to read.

"linux needs to take over" I thought the same thing when my wifi adapter crashed and I thought restarting the computer could fix it. It didn't, and without access to wifi, my laptop was locked out of any administrator accounts and had to be soft formatted.

I once owned a "mp3/mp4" music player. (Won it arcade) Gotta say, it worked great for a while (half a month), then it just ceased. Screw these bootlegs, the more expensive options last longer.

The model number printed onto the unit is A1136, which corresponds to the 1st gen iPod nano (the long one) released in 2005, as opposed to the 3rd gen iPod nano which is what this unit is ripping off. Although it's actually printed as AII36.

Real iPods probably have Samsung chips in them. They're one of the world's largest suppliers of flash memory.

@@SilentProti yes, but all of the Nano, Shuffle, and Touch models are flash-based, and this is a 3rd-gen Nano clone. Many, if not all, of the iPods with hard drives also had Samsung SDRAM.

You might not care at this point but the reason why it kept showing "Disk error" is because you keep formatting it to HFS , you should format it to Fat32 , that's the only disk format it reads

I am 99% sure I saw this at Cheap As Chips in Munno Para back when I was a kid/tween. You unlocked a random memory of being quite amused as usually their MP3 players weren't such a blatant Apple rip off (but were regardless kept in a glass case, as though they were high end goods because, y'know, Munno Para...)

Bro your videos are so damn funny!

When you formatted it you formatted the OS meaning you basically got rid of all the stuff it needs to work
