Hi everybody. Last fall I purchased a brand new 40GB iPod. I needed it for when I sail in the Navy. Now I have just returned from a 3 month trip, and the battery on the iPod now o…

I'm a little late, but I just updated my iPod photo 30GB to the new 1.1 firmware. After I updated it, a message said that for the changes to take effect I had to plug the iPod int…

on my 1st gen ipod, it says the same thing, but i just replugged it into the computer and it updated the fimware, so you dont really "need" the adapter it more than likely just sa…

On my 2G, 3G and 4G (mini) iPods, the only instruction is to plug it back into the Mac. So if the photo requires AC, that's news to me.

mine is PC formatted. I just installed the latest update, now it says "plug into AC adapter." Which of course, I never have with me. So my iPod is useless until I get home. Major P…

Okay.. So I dropped my iPod from 20' (don't ask.) The drive worked for a few minutes then got to bad sectors where the impact pushed the heads into the platters. Anyhoo, it's a 40 …

Anybody have any ideas? I haven't yet lost hope!

I have my dock hooked up to my stereo and plugged into the AC outlet. My question is, when the iPod is connected to the charger, and playing, does it run directly off the adaptor, …

Hi iPod users, a friend of mine have bought a nice four generation 20 GB iPod, all is OK... if only he could get the iPod to charge via FireWire, he must charge it via USB, this is…

More details are definitely needed. What machine is your friend trying to hook up to? Is this a built-in Firewire port or on a PC or PCI card? Have you tried different ports wit…

Well, he has an iBook Dual-USB 600MHz and a Sawtooth PowerMac G4, but being honest I lack real info about if he has tried it in both Mac. Once I get more info I�ll post it

OK, my friend was at my home today, so we tried it with my PowerMac, the issue is really that the iPod is not mounted via FireWire, since he has only one FireWire iPod cable, we un…

Engadget on one click downloads Contrast and compare to iTunes. I think this service has the potential to be a fair competitor to the iTunes service. While no other online music…

I recently switched my iPod from a Dell Laptop to my Mini and also switched from using USB2.0 to Firewire and all of the sudden the iPod is now syncing the clock with my computer's…

It was probably the move to your Mac - when you connect your iPod to your Mac, its date is automatically synced with the computer clock.

When I run the HDD Scan diagnostic test on my 30GB 3rd gen iPod, it fails to read the hard drive. For the most part (90% of the time) my iPod works fine, but other times, in cluste…

Backup your data, download the iPod Software Updater and choose to Restore (reinitialize) the iPod.

Hi there, I just got an iTrip (for 3G iPods) after having a real antique "Sound Feeder".* It's a GREAT gizmo.* Although it needs the iPod's volume to be half to 75%, that drains m…
