Well, there are shuffle battery packs that attach to the USB port for extending play time, why won't the power adapter do the same thing?

My 20Gig 2nd generation iPod hard drive died. Not to mention the batt life was terrible. Yes, I forgot to fill out the claim form and it is out of warrantee. Will Apple replac…

Time to buy a new one. Apple will not replace it or replace the components for free. And the cost isn't worth it. Your 2nd Gen had a great run. Years of joy. Time to put it to re…

Just for future reference- Apple has a battery replacement program for ~$80. what is so great about the program, as opposed to doing it yourself for less money, is that Apple sen…

Yeah, the 2G is a great iPod. Great battery life. Unfortunately, I've been spoiled by the smaller lighter flash based ipods so I just want a larger capacity nano, no more hard dr…

Quick question. Is there any way to convert .mov files to the iPod format. I've used iSquint to convert all of my .mpeg's ands haven't had any problems. Used Handbrake to conver…

Have you tried just dragging your .mov files to iTunes? I dropped one of .mov files on iTunes and it was added to my iTunes video library and played perfectly fine in iTunes so I'd…

I dragged my .mov files into iTunes and they play fine there, but they still need to be converted to an iPod compatible format to go onto the iPod. I go to Advanced>Convert Sel…

Thanks for the tip!

You can try Video to iPod Converter. It can convert mov to mp4. You can download free from here http://www2.dvd-ripper-copy.com/video-to-iPod.html I wish it is useful to you

I've broswed around that forum a bit. I'll prolly look around there deeper for some answers. Thanks for the advice!

I tried to turn on my mini this morning at the office only to discover that it wouldn’t work. Thinking this was the result of a dead battery, I plugged it into my work PC. Not ge…

Take it to your local Apple Store, if you're nice they may replace/repair as a courtesy even though you're out of warranty.

Ok, so I have my iPod set to sync my address book and photo albums right now. I hate having it sync the entire music library. However, I would like it to sync a few playlists. I…

What are you afraid of? Even if it deletes something, it'll just recopy it to the iPod. It's not going to reset your ipod to the factory default or anything.
