Trying to use a Powerbook in lid closed mode using only the battery will not work and the computer will go to sleep. So it's not surprise that the MBP also does this. Having the …

It's always been that way. Closed lid mode requires AC power to work. If you unplug it, the Book will go to sleep.

my powerbook goes to sleep with the lid closed and with the power plugged in still. its been happening for like the last 2 days sporadically. it will work fine for a few hours, th…

Faulty power connector? Faulty charger? Does the plug fit snug?

Is there a way to disable 'safe sleep'? Or is it a built in feature?

What a POS. The rubber got stretched out putting my iPod in it, and now it doesn't sit flush against the cheap screen protector. Man, I am sick of buying crappy products that ove…

I have a black Belkin Flip cover that i like. It works nicely, just do not drop the ipod when the flap is open

Sucks. I wish I had gotten a skin for my old 3G. Now I have a new black 5G and I'm babying that thing like none other until the Contour Showcase for 30GB ships.

I prefer the Speck ToughSkin. Those thin skins just don't do it for me. I had a rubber skin from another company and it also didn't sit flush on my iPod video.

Hi all, The usual SOP with the "store" has been "New Music Tuesdays" but, for the last two weeks, at least, the "Just Added" list has been lagging its updates a few days. What's …

everytime I try and connect my Nano to a Win XP computer to use the hard disk functions for files, I get a message saying that the disk needs to be formated. It then gives me the …

Its formatted for mac. It has to be formatted for windows in order for windows xp to read it. If you format it FAT for windows, both computers should be able to read and write.

Gir- what do you mean by "if you format it FAT for windows?"

And why would I need to? Shouldn't the iPod already be formated to work with the two systems? Just a little lost on this whole situation.

When the iPod is formatted on a Mac, it gets written with the OS X filesystem, which Windows can't read or write. When the iPod is formatted in Windows (as it's asking you to do),…

will it still work with itunes on the mac?

It worked fine on the iBook, iTunes and all. I formated it like said to FAT32 on the XP box. I then got a B&W battery image with (!) in triangle on the nano screen. I remove…

This is really getting stupid. I managed to restore the software on the Nano. When I restore the factory settings on the mac, it asks to be formated on the XP. When restore on X…

You need to set the iPod up on the Windows PC, using the supplied iPod Software Updater (or even better, the latest iPod Software Updater downloaded from the iPod + iTunes section…

analogika That seemed to have fixed it. It now works well with both platforms. Thanks for the walk through on this. I am a little dumber than I thought.

No, you're not. Glad it worked.

Even your nano hates windows. JK, just format it for windows and it will be readable by both platforms

I believe we'd got that far.
