The mini may not have the "Shuffle Songs" thing in the main menu. That's a relatively new feature, if I recall correctly.

that'd be it then.. i havn't updated the firmware, if i do that i'll lose the data right? hrmm, well if anyone can tell me the old way to get to it, that is through settings, i …

Updater won't delete your songs if you just update. You CAN return the thing to factory settings and no songs if you want, but just updating won't do that.

thats exactly why i have not upgraded my ipod mini to a nano or even a 30g phot / video the mini is a lump of metal, and not two seperate pieces like the ipod and the nano. if i …

Hey if you want a new display or any other parts I think I've got you covered, link in sig, and these minis are really built like tanks, me likey! lol

ArsTechnica abused an iPod nano (including running over with a car) and it worked FAR longer than you would have expected. The mini's not the only resilient iPod. tooki

You should try a crosswalk. I hear they allow you time to walk across the street without rushing in front of traffic.

Are most of you using/planning to use both Parallels and Boot Camp or just one vs. the other? I'd consider using both (even though disk space is an issue, since my entire drive is…

Bleah, 5 minutes have passed, and it won't let me enter the poll. These were my poll options: Boot Camp - It has the best hardware support Parallels - Dual-booting sucks Both - B…

Boot Camp

BootCamp, as soon as my 120GB HD arrives. Parallels later down the road, when it's more stable/functional.

Both. They each have strengths and weaknesses. If you want to play 3D games, Boot Camp is your only choice and there are probably some cases where a peripheral or something won't w…

Bootcamp, I'd [re]consider parallels, if they resolve the usb issues and the speed didn't affect me too much and I wouldn't run into issues activating the same copy of XP (most peo…

So XP doesn't check the hardware for validation then? Cuz a Parallel's "hardware" would be different than the MacBook's, no? I haven't tried installing under Parallel's software y…

I installed the same copy of XP on Boot Camp and Parallels. I had to call Microsoft (well, someone in India, actually) to get a new code because the online activation thing wouldn'…

Both Boot Camp and Parallels will find exactly the same hardware on the Mac, so there should be no reason to revalidate or reauthenticate. I'm not sure exactly how MS's process wo…

I'll try Parallels one day, but I don't want to have to re-setup the whole Windows partition the way I have it under BootCamp. Is there a way to import a Windows partition from Boo…

Boot Camp for now, until Parallels is capable of running off the Boot Camp partition. I'm too lazy for two installs, and I need the native installation for games.
