For that new iPod Shuffle, I'm a little unclear how you can transfer music. Does it work like a usb flash drive where you can just drag files onto it, or do you have to use the iTu…

If you go to the mac site...www.apple.com...and then click on the shuffle pic....this will bring you to the shuffle page. on the page it says that you can drag and drop your music…

Sorry for the bad link www.apple.com that one should work.

You can set the shuffle to autofill the music. You can also set the parameters of what is autofilled. For instance, if you want a certain artist or playlist. Or you can do it man…

Can you really drag-and-drop song files directly from your harddrive onto an iShuffle and expect them to play when you listen to it? I read in some other topics on this forum that…

They can be dropped from iTunes.

Well that all sounds pretty good, unfortunatly I'm in Canada and have to wait till May 7th to get mine.

Hi folks. I recently got a ipod mini. I am new to the whole ipod experience and must say it has made a great first impression. I might be a little paranoid but my question is, how …

i'm not sure but i think a fall of less then a third of an inch will damage it i'm also very careful with my mini

These things are far more durable than one could expect. Of course, it might damage the HD, but probably won't. I think I dropped my 5Gb one more than once from waist height, in …

Does anyone know the process for re-configuring an ipod that is currently setup to work on a PC to work on a Mac instead?

It works automatically does it not?

I think if you just run the iPod software updater on the computer you want to switch to, it will format it the way it needs to be for the specific OS.

ok, thanks, I will give that a go.

Hi. i just came across an article that said you should fully charge your ipod right out of the box. I remember when I got my mini, Just trying to remove the plastic cover caused th…

No. That is what I did too. I set the prefs and everything before I plugged it in. I let it then charge fully overnight from the AC adapter then plugged it into my Mac and synce…

this has happened a couple of times, although last time just playlists were gone. Wondering what it means. thanks.

It has happened to me a couple of times, too. It has only happened when the battery has died, and then I have tried to turn the ipod back on after it has shut down due to low batt…

this is interesting subject. the i pod should definitely remember everything even if battery goes dead. Even an Apple tech said it's a good idea to drain the battery down all way…

If I drain it all the way down, it is fine. If I then try to run it again without charging, it will probably be fine. If I try it one more time, it will almost certainly lose eve…

thanks did not quite understand that. Saying that one drain is ok, but the second drain erases hardrive? even after a recharge? what's the logic in all this?
