Didn't Toshiba announce that the 80Gb 1.8" drives would be ready to roll in Autumn? I'd say that there will be 80Gb iPods pre Christmas, maybe pre school year. Until then, small up…

My 3G iPod has finally died for good, and I'm faced with having to replace it. I've never been wowed by the 4G enough to be actually happy about the need to upgrade. I have a 15G…

KP* - first of all, iPods don't die for good, they just die in such a way that replacement parts costs are outweighed by the lesser cost of getting a new one. If it's the battery,…

It all comes down to where you place your quotes... "perfectly" capable "perfectly capable" "Capable to run is one thing" "perfectly" capable is another thing. ;-) Quote: …

Hello, Anyone know of a way to export tracks out of itunes, keeping the folder heirarchy to either a disk image or another hard drive? I've tried various applescripts from Doug's…

i was wondering if any of you know if entries for the apple design award contest have to written in objective-c or if any language is accepted? (i've checked the apple developer si…

They tend not to announce the details of each year's contest until a few months before the deadline, which is usually about a month before WWDC... so stay tuned, it'll likely come …

Yes and no. There's Objective-C++, which is better described as using C++ from within an Obj-C Cocoa program than the other way around. You can write as much of your custom logic i…

I just wanted to share an experience with my fellow iPodders. Today I attempted to charge my 4G iPod using one of those USB port car chargers and a Firewire/USB port adaptor from …

I'm not sure I understand how you "reversed the polarity." Do you mean you put the cable in backwards or something? It doesn't make sense. And are you actually opening your iPod…

There are bad car adapters and there are good ones. A good one should cause no such problem. Same goes for cell phone chargers.

I believe Eug pretty much nailed it, I think it's the quality of the charger I used. No I did not put it in backwards, that would require some force. I might be using the wrong t…

Well, I am not sure what happened, but I left the iPod charging over night. When I got up this morning I attempted to do a hard reset to no avail. I continued charging through ou…

One thing that has always ticked me off about Audible's radio news things, is that they come in one big file, and you couldn't shuffle up news stories with your music. Now that the…

Quick question: I want to partition my 60 gb iPhoto so I can have backups on one partition, and a complete version of my PB HD on the other. The reason: I don't want to re-do my ba…

Well, if you're prepared to work with Terminal a bit and take the risk of buggering up your iPod, check out the link. Be sure to read, re-read, and understand both the warning at t…

Ummmm . . . never mind. Had no idea (obviously) what I was really asking. Thanks for the link and the warning. On to a different project.

Don't partition. It\s silly and something that peecee people are taught. Simply enable the iPod for usage as a disk drive and you'll be fine. I have a 60 photo model and have my en…

Does the option to have the time displayed at the top of every screen have any impact whatsoever on battery life?
