http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/deta...=email,ECOSTCJ Would I be able to gut this thing and instal the drive in my 3G iPod? My drive went bad and I'm trying to find a cheap way to…

No, you can't put a 2.5" drive (from your link) in a 1.8" enclosure (your iPod). 1.8" drives are expensive; about $5/GB. Froogle it.

It is a 1.8 inch drive.... "Hitachi 1.8 inch hard disk drive technology" HEre is the info for the drive from the companies site... http://www.cablestogo.com/product.as...=211&am…

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has created multiple partitions so that both Windows and OS X can access a common folder. Say 1: 32gb partition for a common folder, 1 for OSX…

I think bootcamp only allows you to make the two partitions. You can, however, format your windows drive as FAT32, and then you can both read and write to it from OS X. I find that…

Yah, boot camp only does 1 for you hence doing the partitions before using bootcamp. The purpose of having the extra partition would be so that one would not have to reboot into t…

If you get this to work, please post back. That's the partition scheme I'd like to have, too.

While I don't know of a built-in method to get this to work, a third party partition manager such as PartitionMagic should do the trick. Install it under Windows and use it to sub…

Is it possible to own an iPod for over a year without a) having to spend $70 to replace to battery? or b) buy the brand new iPod that just came out? I am thinking about buying…

My first-generation 5GB iPod is now four years old. It is scratched to hell, has been dropped a couple of times, and is still running strong. Battery life is still well over fou…

Everything has a shelf life. Take the iPod off the shelf and use it. The fact that Apple will give you what is essentially a new iPod for $70 as long as it does not have physical…

They (Apple) don't replace batteries. They replace the whole iPod. You get a shiny new case and an iPod that meets specs. You could go to somebody like ipodresq and they will ch…

http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/ipod/batteryreplacement/ That should be much cheaper than apple.

i agree with macpilot. Apple's battery replacement program is really an ipod replacement program. A good deal esp. if your ipod is acting funny and you can't figure out what is w…

My Ipod Photo still gets around 7 hours and I bought it 18 months ago. Batteries will eventually wear down. I use my iPod everyday and I think I got my money's worth. I'll probabl…

If your iPod is under a year old, Apple should replace the battery for free.

also batteries are sensitive to heat, don't leave yours in hot vehicle. you can read "battery faqs"

rechargeable batteries have many charge/discharge cycles but also have to be replaced after some years because of age like a car battery

Yep. However my PowerBook 5300cs is an exception, the original battery still lasts for 3 hours!

What color MacBook do you like more - black or white? It seems like everyone is buying the black one so far even though it's more expensive. Interested to see what you guys think.…

apple knows what kinda style whores their customers are. paying +$150 just to get the black version? please..

I'm going for the $1299 white version. Paying 200$ for a different paint job is ridiculous. The white one appeals to me more anyway.

That black does look sexy, but i could see it getting smeared up all the time, and the extra charge for a color really puts me back what about all the colored iMacs and iBooks, no …
