![]() they're mostly from the proper 7th gen/not 6.5 or so, but the thing is those 7th gen running the 2.0.4 firmware cannot upgrade to the 2.0.5 not those running the 2.0.5 firmware can downgrade to 2.0.4, is because there's another hardware revision(made "cheaper") and little(one) feature added.Īs for the feature of the 2.0.5 firmware is only have a toggle to disable the EU volume limitation, that does mean ipods with the 2.0.4 and designated to be sold in the EU had an overall lower volume, if the unit is sold/used outside of the EU there's no volume limiter thus should be indifferent from 2.0.5 ones with the limiter off. If anybody has been in my shoes and has been able to downgrade that OS, please write here to detail your experience.Īs always, huge thanks to the PPC community.So somewhere I've heard some ipod classics actually had the 2.0.5 firmware, they are mostly from the late/post 2010 manufactured date. I know about RockBox but I'm very attached to the iTunes / iPod integration as I have several PPC setups with 10.5.8 installed and I don't want to break that bond. I've located every earlier iPod Classic OS revs but, everytime I double click on them, it either has no impact (PPC setting) or, at least in 10.14 Mojave, it fires up iTunes, claims to re-install the earlier OS but then, at boot, the classic again shows 2.0.5 as default OS. In OSX Leopard 10.5.8 (MDD G4), the iPod mounts on the desktop as an external drive but is a no show in iTunes 10.6.8 except for "requires OSX Lion" message at startup. However, much to my surprise, this iPod requires OSX Lion for Compatibility which is very surprising considering the similar earlier revisions (except for the 160GB single platter) were PPC compatible. Back in 2014, just before it got EOL'd, I was able to purchase a brand new iPod Classic (single platter 160GB - last revision ever).
