Topic: Please help us identify iPods (Read 226771 times)

SwellGuy · « **on:** September 29, 2006, 05:13:27 pm »

The latest updaters/firmwares/iTunes have made it difficult to definitively identify iPod models. But we can map to a iPod model number given the last three digits of the serial number. So, if you own one or many iPods (or know someone that does) we could really use your help building a serial number to model number mapping.

If you can help us with this, please post the last three digits of the serial number and the entire model number located on your iPod under Settings > About.

Thanks to everyone who's contributed. Below is the list we have so far, if you have additions or corrections please post them and thanks again for your help.

My 30 GB white ipod video is being recognized by MC (both 12 and 13) as an ipod nano. Last 3 of serial number is SZT, model A1136

Your list in this post shows SZT as being a white 4GB ipod nano (which is what MC thinks my ipod video is). Perhaps someone sent in the wrong info. Is there any way (short of an MC revision) to get MC to correctly recognize my ipod model?
