What I am trying to demonstrate is that firewire (both in general and as it is implemented on the iPod) is not inferior to USB2 in terms of speed. The times that I recorded for fi…

And indeed someone did notice the drop in speed; from CNet's review of the 4G: Although slightly slower than the previous generation's transfer rate of 6.9MB per second, the new iP…

Hello - I was wondering if anybody could help me. I am OK technically, but no Bill Gates! I am the proud lady owner of a 60GB IPOD which I have proudly amassed 8065 songs. All of …

1) Use the iPod's installation CD to install the software-not just iTunes-on the PC. But DON'T PLUG THE iPOD IN UNTIL YOU HAVE RECOVERED YOUR SONGS!!! By default iTunes is set up…

You're not totally screwed... just a little screwed. There are 3rd party applications that allow you to get the music on your iPod back onto a computer. HOWEVER. Once an iPod is f…
