Yup, it grates, but - hey - it works!

Maybe Nudge could help you get the icon back. It's helped me a couple of times before with similar icon problems.

How disappointing! My old 1st Gen Green Mini had a green icon, which was cool, but the new 2nd Gen Blue Mini has a Silver icon! c'mon Apple!

I tried all the different rebuilding suggestions, both Classic and that thing for the terminal. Nothing was working, however I tried restoring my iPod with the previous update (200…

I know this is a totally lame question, but seeing as I Just got my first iPod (40GB photo) I'm not sure about pasting a custom icon on a mounted 'Pod. Can you do this or does it s…

Quote: Originally posted by christ: yes, and no - in that order. But you have to do the pasting in the 'get info' window, not direct to the desktop icon. Aha. Coo…

Dear All, I think this is what you could use. My friend told me make a new .txt file with this in it -------------------------- [autorun] icon=ipod.ico --------------------------…

Hey guys...perhaps this shoudl be in the Mac OS forum, but since it only has to do with all my internet applications I posted here. I have tried all the suggestions for speeding u…

Have you tried Enigmarelle's BroadbandOptimizer? It's old, but it seems to get the job done.

how slow is slow? iirc the further out you are on a DSL line, the slower the connection will be...

1000 Mb is a gigabit. I don't think your dsl line is capable of dishing that out. Do you have some other machines you can use to test on the same line?

Isolate the problem - connect to the router via Ethernet - if the problem persists then it's not an Airport problem.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I had the ISP tech guy come out and he connected his XP laptop via ethernet to the modem and showed normal speeds. My Powerbook is in for repairs…

Here is another thought. Can my neighbors' cordless phones have the range to affect my wireless? Our house has 2.4ghz cordless phones, and I do notice the speed loss of wireless …

I went back to using the Airport Express. Did a little research and wound up making some changes to settings like Channel, Multicast rate, Interface Robustness, and enabled MAC ac…

I have 2 iPods a 5GB 1st Gen and a 10GB 2nd Gen I have a G5 that I have been using these on. Running OS X 10.3.8 Now, neither will mount on my computer, I have tried resetting th…

A couple of points: 1. You don't mention resetting the iPods themselves - do this just in case if you haven't 2. Don't do the system update with the iPods connected. David

Yes I tried resetting the iPod Turned out to be "Intech Speed Tools Utilities" That I just installed. I un-installed it and viola iPods a plenty! I am off to see if a fix/update…

Man, that new trailer is yummy. And backward compatibility? Sweet deal.
