It's a 3G. Get a new battery. They're cheap. You should be able to find one for about CAD$40. Or you can pay Apple $127 for the privilege. In the meantime, you should probably do…

The click-wheel iPod has the buttons (Play, Menu, Forward, Reverse) on the wheel itself. The previous versions (non click-wheel) have a wheel and then they have 4 buttons either a…

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…
