![]() ![]() A quick look online I found gParted refers to APM as simply "mac". It essentially has turned it into a crappy portable hard drive.Ī while later I found a post somewhere, can't remember where now, where someone had posted the output of some Terminal command showing that their iPod Nano was partitioned with an APM table. If I plugged it into my PC, it would also mount it as an external drive and it would cause iTunes to crash when I opened it. however, when plugging the iPod into the Mac, it just mounted a FAT32 partition as a drive and iTunes (v. ![]() After doing this MBR and formatting it FAT32, the iPod was now recognising 148GB which is about the correct formatted capacity. Before hand, I was finding that most of the time the iPod would not read the hard drive. I select an MBR, and formatted a FAT32 partition. Through my many struggles, one thing I did manage to do was using my PC, boot up into a gParted LiveCD and create a new partition table. My library is stored primarily on my Windows 10-based desktop PC, so I'd like to use this to sync up ideally. Now my question is, what type of partition table should I be using with the iPod if I wanted to primarily use it with a Windows machine? As much as I'd like to use my MacBook for syncing my iPod, it only has a 256GB SSD and, as you can imagine from my interest in a 160GB iPod, I have a **** of a lot of music. I just accepted the default and been having problems ever since. It gave me an option of GUID, MBR or APM. I followed a guide on how to re-format and restore your iPod Classic using Disk Utility, but the version in the screenshots had no mention of partition table types as it was from an older Mac OS X. I've got a spare cable from my old iPhone 4S which seems to perform much better so I've been using that, but I think I have inadvertently broken the partition table. Had a Google and found a few suggestions and I've since determined that I'm pretty sure the supplied cable is not performing correctly. I connected it up to my MacBook and it caused iTunes to crash. Model is A1238 which I believe is 7th gen 2009 model? So I bought a second hand iPod Classic 160GB. ![]()
