Quick question: I want to partition my 60 gb iPhoto so I can have backups on one partition, and a complete version of my PB HD on the other. The reason: I don't want to re-do my ba…

Well, if you're prepared to work with Terminal a bit and take the risk of buggering up your iPod, check out the link. Be sure to read, re-read, and understand both the warning at t…

Ummmm . . . never mind. Had no idea (obviously) what I was really asking. Thanks for the link and the warning. On to a different project.

Don't partition. It\s silly and something that peecee people are taught. Simply enable the iPod for usage as a disk drive and you'll be fine. I have a 60 photo model and have my en…

Does the option to have the time displayed at the top of every screen have any impact whatsoever on battery life?

Nope. No more than having text displayed on the screen at any given time. Battery power is affected by HD spins (switching lots of tracks), sound check, and the backlight. W…

I just got a 60 gig iPod photo and im actually leery on usin the photo feature much cus it accesses the hardrive so much, it seems that it starts spinning every time i want to view…

Don't worry, the HDs in newer iPods are rated to last almost as long as laptop drives, as opposed to the much fewer hours for the ones in the first iPods.

oh cool, i didn't know, i though theh hadn't changed much and i remmeber hearin how the old drives won't take as much constant access. My 5 gig did me proud for 3 years. Too bad…

My current 3G does it every once in a while, the loud noise, but I've dealt with it and I hardly notice it anymore. It's supposedly 100% normal. So don't worry, go crazy using your…

oh i didnt hear any loud noise i just felt the hardrive startup as i was scrollin thru my pictures and thought it was odd that it cant just store a folder of pix in its ram when th…

Would be nice if there was a Windows application that could increase or decrease data storage space on the iPod shuffle. I think this app would be useful on the go, since it would…

Wouldn't it be nice if more Windows users just moved over to the Mac platform?

i already talked about this, just after seeing the ips introduced. will be very handy when: -windows machine doesnt have itunes installed, and cannot install or download it, in th…

I think my app idea would be useful in a scenario like this: You're sitting in your school's computer lab. You have no admin rights on the school's PC computer. You need to save s…

Just leave enough space on the shuffle.

hey you guys, didnt you read my post? an app is a bad idea, beacuse it wont be installed in the computer you want to transfer the files from. like i said, it has to be IN the ips…

The idea is probably that if you need space, you'll budget for it. If you need more space, there's iTunes. If if you need even more space, get a second shuffle or use a regular iPo…
