AFAIK, iTunes will have no problem with you putting all of your music files onto an external drive. What I would do is keep your iTunes library file on your iBook in its default l…

My iPod has worked fine up until today, but now it wont mount and the system profiler says it has no information for firewire. The really strange thing is that the ipod will still …

I had the same problem with my iPod (3G 40gb) and took it to the Apple Store here in Chicago, and they replaced it on the spot.

unfortunately my ipod is out of warranty by bout 6 months i really need it in 10 days time too, very annoying.

Did you try to reset it? Aloha.

Sometimes my iBook has overlooked its iPod, but all that was required to restore the connection was a restart. If that fails, you can try the following: right after you connect the…

Do you other firewire devices work? I had the same problem and my firewire port was fried on my Mac.

I had this same problem recently with my original 5gb iPod. I gave it to a friend who is an Apple Certified Technician. He said my problem was due to the design of the original iPo…

Wow, interesting account, elementality. I had never heard anything like that before.

i have heard that i will have to reformat my iPod to work on my new iMac when i get it which means i will lose all my music, is that true, because i have heard that you wont also

True and false. The iMac will be able to mount the iPod no problem. However, anytime you pair an iPod to a new "master library", the iPod clears itself and loads only the songs tha…

what about when i switch, will my library in iTunes be the same or am i going to have to rename all of my songs again which sucks.... anyone know

If the ID3 tags or what have you from the original song files themselves aren't accurate, eg showing "Artist - Song Title" in the Song Title tag, but they have been corrected in iT…

gracias

No problems man.. happy to help. I only wish there was a way you could copy play counts...

I just thought of a good way to copy play counts. Not ideal, but still. This'll only work if you don't use the BPM field - Ctrl+Select all the songs of a certain playcount (eg: 1…

I'm a little late, but I just updated my iPod photo 30GB to the new 1.1 firmware. After I updated it, a message said that for the changes to take effect I had to plug the iPod int…

on my 1st gen ipod, it says the same thing, but i just replugged it into the computer and it updated the fimware, so you dont really "need" the adapter it more than likely just sa…

On my 2G, 3G and 4G (mini) iPods, the only instruction is to plug it back into the Mac. So if the photo requires AC, that's news to me.

mine is PC formatted. I just installed the latest update, now it says "plug into AC adapter." Which of course, I never have with me. So my iPod is useless until I get home. Major P…

Hi iPod users, a friend of mine have bought a nice four generation 20 GB iPod, all is OK... if only he could get the iPod to charge via FireWire, he must charge it via USB, this is…

More details are definitely needed. What machine is your friend trying to hook up to? Is this a built-in Firewire port or on a PC or PCI card? Have you tried different ports wit…

Well, he has an iBook Dual-USB 600MHz and a Sawtooth PowerMac G4, but being honest I lack real info about if he has tried it in both Mac. Once I get more info I�ll post it

OK, my friend was at my home today, so we tried it with my PowerMac, the issue is really that the iPod is not mounted via FireWire, since he has only one FireWire iPod cable, we un…
