You will need a CF card reader, you can also use a SDXC card reader. The steps will be slightly different, but the process and concepts should be similar. I have created a walk through on how to get the SDXC card in to a known good state before installing and restoring the iPod.įirst you need to get a partition manager software, I use the free AOMEI Partition Assistant, download here!! but only for Windows PC’s, for MAC users any of the popular partition software on MacOS will work. The symptoms tend to be slow music transfer, odd syncing errors, song skipping and iPod freezing up.
This only applies to SDXC cards 64Gb and above in capacity, as these are the cards which are ExFAT formatted by default. Some of the factory fresh ExFAT formatted SDXC cards cause problems in the iPod, I have not been able to determine the exact cause but I suspect the iTunes restore process does not write a fresh MBR (Master Boot Record) nor does it create a new partition table – just modifies the existing table.
*** IMPORTANT – This article is up as an reference, first install and restore the iPod, if you have problems then attempt these instructions ***
