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…

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…

Personalized two 4gb nanos for order placed on Tuesday morning, just received email that they have been picked up in China by FEDEX and are in transit. I'm impressed that Apple's …

Yeah I already have my 4gb black nano. I ordered it and it came the next day.

Eh, different experience for those of us in Silicon Valley trying to buy one at a local store. I'd rather not get it online for a bunch of reasons, but the stores here have been h…

Yes it was personalized. Apple stocked up on the Nanos ahead of time "betting on strong demand" since their previously was so many backorder issues. Yeah, I do agree, the norm for…

agreed, living in this "bracket" ;-) usually you are SOL, I think Apple stocked more Nanos than previous iPods however it's still difficult to get them. Knowing that instant gradi…

That's really wrong of him/her. Apple Stores should limit sales to something like 2 per person, especially early on. The scalping on Craigslist is really obscene. It's one thing…

Incredible. My nanos shipped from China on Wednesday, made it to Alaska last night, Indianapolis this morning, and will be delivered to me in NYC on Friday. Fedex rules!

I was wrong. They arrived this morning. That's 2-day shipping from China to NYC for 2 nanos, $12. WOW!!!! And, yes, it is absolutely beautiful and my concerns about the absence of…

I remember reading that iTunes would create three optimized images for each picture. The first image is a thumbnail for the thumbnail gallery in the iPod. The second image is the i…
