The cable isn't the problem. It works fine on other apple products, but on my ipod touch 4th generation, i think my ipod doesn't have connection to the charger. Maybe there's something wrong with the input in my ipod??

iPod Touch 4th Generation: Restore failed Flash failed, stuck on apple logo, help TT-TT

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 22:54:19 -0700

problem :

> restore ipod failed, stuck on apple logo & usb

> trying to flash it using 2utools, stuck in 14% (screen shows apple logo and empty loading bar), always ended up failed with error -1

> ipod disconnected mid flashing (i use direct usb port on my macair 2017)

> got 2pcs 30pin cables with a bit suspicious conditions (need to adjust the port to make it connect)

pre-restoration status :

> ipod can play music, speaker works, buttons work, glass screen cracked yet no sign of dead pixel/dent/black spot, wifi works

> can charge with those cables but need adjustment to make it work

> can connect to finder and works well (can delete/add media)

> cameras not working (black/sometimes greens/show some hardware error) it still can capture/record

> was jailbroken : cydia

> apple account logged out

Was waiting for about 30ish min to restore, so i left to do something else. But it showed apple logo + usb and restore failed.

My intention was wanting to clear all of the existing musics, so i want to restore it. But it went wrong. Help, thank you.

iPod Touch 7th Generation: Can I just repair the front glass (screen)?

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 04:12:33 -0700

I used IFIXIT to repair my iPhone 4s years ago and it came out fine!

Now my wife has an iPod touch 7th gen that she dropped and the glass (screen?) is broken. It is like a cracked window. The unit still works fine, but I would like to replace the glass. In reading the detailed procedure on your website, I wonder if I need to do all the steps required (like detaching the home button, the lightning connection, speaker, moving the battery out of the way, etc. all to just replace the front glass? It seems like a lot of work!

I recently bought a new casing for my iPod touch 5 and it doesn't come with that little "iPod loop". I can't figure out how to separate it from the old casing, and fixit doesn't seem to have a guide for this. Can anyone tell me how to take it off?

Edit: This thing right here. I've tried everything I can, but I just can't figure out how to remove it.

I was taking apart my nieces Ipod touch 4th cause she busted the screen on it. On one section of the instructions it shows how to get that metal plate out and it says not to break the copper tape what happens if you did. Cause I think I am going to go ahead and buy her a new one and later on fix that one up if the copper is no big deal.
