The benefit to a clickable wheel is that you can't accidentally brush a button and turn it on. I turn my 3G iPod on all the time unless I use the "hold" switch. On my new nano, I…

And it's also a pain in the ass because if you try to shove your hand in your pocket to pause it or skip to the next song, it's practically impossible not to change the volume in t…

(long of it) i only have a 40gb powerbook and there is no way i could keep all my music on that hard drive along with all my other stuff. so my fix is back up all my music onto mp…

iTunes doesn't like to play well with those apps and you stand a big chance of them not working from version to version or doing nasty things like stripping ID3 coding and merging …

i beg to differ...senuti has done great by me. never screwed up itunes, never screwed up my id3 coding and never merged songs...and ive been using it for months now. not to say t…

If you beg to differ, why ask? I gave my opinion, take it or leave it. My music isn't worth the risk of losing (if you lose your iPod?), so I keep a copy on an external and eve…

i think this is a good question. if i have music i own, i want to be able to copy it off my ipod back to my hard drive. it's not that fun owning a several macs with the ipods lame …

dont get testy now randman...it's just that i dont carry my external around with me all the time. ill have most if not all my music backed up soon anyway. i just want a way to do…

What I did before I got a mini for the wife (I keep the music on it now but still have a backup on an external) is kept my music (about 47GB) on an external and manually managed th…

podutil...ill look into that and maybe give it a go, thanks for the tip randman.

What about backing up data to my iPod (i know another subject, but maybe you guys know about that) I've seen iPodbackup, but it's not convient enough. I guess I want something, wh…

Anyone know how to do this? My ipod photo has the full version of a couple thousand pictures and i'd like to import them into iPhoto. Because of a hard disk failure, I need to rest…

No ideas?

Did you enable the photos to also be saved as full-resolution pics on your iPod?

If you did check the box to save the full resolution photos on the iPod, they should be accessible in a folder on the iPod, with no need to go through any particular program if nee…

They are saved as full resolution and can be accessed in folders by the date the photo was taken. I was hoping there was away to recreate the directories they are in on the ipod wi…

Haven't tried this but if your iPhoto is working, sync your iPod and go to Preferences. See if there's an option to recover the photos. Also, apple.com may have the exact steps t…

Yup! Just print, cut and fold. http://homepage.mac.com/pockyrevolut...o_origami.html

I want a 10GB model.

The date and time settings on my newly purchased ipod nano are constantly resetting themselves to 12:00 am and January 1, 2000 whenever my nano is turned off, either by letting the…

My clock keeps resetting to Cupertino. Maybe it is a clock problem?

There were a couple of web sites who showed an iPod nano disassembled. They found that the 2GB nano had the flash memory soldered on while the 4GB nano appeared to be on a daughter…

The price of bulk 4GB flash memory chips is around $150.00 right now. Apple of course worked out a volume discount with Samsung on their flash memory for the iPod Nano, so they are…

If you want more memory, you should wait. I bet it'll be a bit cheaper after the holiday season. Or if you don't want to wait, you could still get a nice iPod mini. They are a lot …

Here's the web site of the nano autopsy: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/nano.ars/4 I guess the flash is soldered on to a daughterboard. My nano just shipped this mornin…
