Sounds like it will end up just like the OJ case. We will learn much more with the Civil Trial, greater chance for a guilty verdict.

Over the past 2 weeks, I didn't see any iPod shuffle ad on TV. I used to see the ad during those MTV reality shows and FOX American Idol shows.

saw it yesterday

Yup, they're still running. Not like Apple needs them, but every little bit helps. I'd like to see Apple pour some money into "mac mini" and "tiger" commercials. Noah

Just saw the ad yesterday here in Paris. It has arrived.

It's all over Germany!

I heard Jerk It Out at the gym yesterday and assumed it was the iPod shuffle ad coming on, but when I looked at the TV it was the band's video clip. And I was disappointed! Love …

A friend of mine has a dead 3G iPod HD. Everything else is fine, but the HD fails the scan in the diagnostic mode. According to this article at the UK MacUser, you can drop in a ne…

Hey all, I've heard that the iPod can be used as a hard drive as well, to back up data or whatever. Is it possible to copy mp3's, wav's, etc, as 'files', rather than copying them a…

Yes, but then you can't play them on the iPod. (although with a a bit of judicious library work you could play them through iTunes from a connected machine)

Are you talking bout backing up your MP3's on your iPod? This makes no sense because if ever anything should happen to your Mac, with the help of some 3rd party apps you could loa…

hey.. yes.. some of the stuff i'm wanting to back up would be mp3's, but i want to back up my music, meaning music that i've written myself. Thus, aside from wav's and mp3's, I've …

Don't worry about that they should be backed up just fine.

They won't be in the iPod's playlist unless you transfer the songs via iTunes. If you backup via disk mode then you're ok -- they won't be in your playlist.

wicked all.. thanks for the replies.

hope this isnt thread jacking, i'm trying not to start a new thread (dont need to get slapped by a moderator). i want to back up my powerbook. it has a cdrw drive, which doesnt gi…

I assume that you have a firewire cable that came with the iPod. Cable requirements depend on PC fit - if you have 6-pin firewire on the PC, then use it, no additional cable requi…

Well I just bought an ipod and transferred files from pc to mac to pc no problems. The procedure given by that last reply was spot on. You have to format it on the pc first, as h…

forgot to mention in my last post, once you do this whole reformatting stuff your ipod will now be like an external hard drive, still works perfectly as an ipod but it is important…

thanks, i understood all those things, i just needed to know where i can get the adaptor / cable. =) .. i couldnt find it at best buy and radioshack was closed so i'm going to try …

hi, this is exactly the thread i was looking for. my brother will buy a ipod photo 60 gb tomorrow. so, when i hook it up to a pc, i might have to format in FAT32. after transferrin…

Format the ipod using the iPod updater on the relevant machine - don't use "format disk" or "disk utility". If you want to share the iPod between the two machines, format it using…
