honestly, nothing in particular, but I am using zonealarm suite 6 on my pc and i was looking for security up to par with that, unless its not necessary on os x.

ouch, haha alright, ill read up a bit.

If an iPod winds up needing replacement, is is possible to pay the difference in price and get a newer version? Thanks!

Depends on if you bought it from Apple or a retailer, and if you got the retailer's warranty or applecare.

No, it's definitely not possible.

No, but if Apple replaces it between month 6 and 12 of your warranty, you have the privilege of shelling out a $30 "processing fee" or $59 for AppleCare. Your choice of fees simpl…

Quick question. Is there any way to convert .mov files to the iPod format. I've used iSquint to convert all of my .mpeg's ands haven't had any problems. Used Handbrake to conver…

Have you tried just dragging your .mov files to iTunes? I dropped one of .mov files on iTunes and it was added to my iTunes video library and played perfectly fine in iTunes so I'd…

I dragged my .mov files into iTunes and they play fine there, but they still need to be converted to an iPod compatible format to go onto the iPod. I go to Advanced>Convert Sel…

Thanks for the tip!

You can try Video to iPod Converter. It can convert mov to mp4. You can download free from here http://www2.dvd-ripper-copy.com/video-to-iPod.html I wish it is useful to you

That program is for PC. I'm on a PowerBook. Anyone have any tips on how to convert .mov files to an iPod compatible format?

The problem is partially that there is no such thing as a generic ".mov file" -- .mov files are in reality a sort of wrapper. The actual video and audio can be in a variety of form…

I've broswed around that forum a bit. I'll prolly look around there deeper for some answers. Thanks for the advice!

I tried to turn on my mini this morning at the office only to discover that it wouldn’t work. Thinking this was the result of a dead battery, I plugged it into my work PC. Not ge…

Take it to your local Apple Store, if you're nice they may replace/repair as a courtesy even though you're out of warranty.

Ok, so I have my iPod set to sync my address book and photo albums right now. I hate having it sync the entire music library. However, I would like it to sync a few playlists. I…

What are you afraid of? Even if it deletes something, it'll just recopy it to the iPod. It's not going to reset your ipod to the factory default or anything.

You don't need to check the "selected playlists only" box unless you have less space on your iPod than you have music in iTunes. Just let it sync. It'll be OK.

Well I'm afraid it will delete my entire library of music and videos and recopy them because it took forever to load them on in the first place, and I've since deleted all of the i…

Also, I only want it to update my playlists rather than my entire library. I don't like plugging in my iPod and then having it just take control of itself and scanning my entire l…

Yes, syncing playlists is not a bad idea. I do it myself, although that's mostly because I have way too much stuff to fit on an ipod. I'm curious about what you said about it takin…

About 2300 songs taking 10-15 minutes or so to copy. So it doesn't take "forever", but longer than I'd like to wait. I might do it though, I dunno. I just hate to lose the video…
