Have you tried taking the soundbridge out of the equation and going straight from the mini into the PIE? Is your PIE converting the external cd changer inputs into preouts? I use…

My iPod has been frozen for the bast 10 minutes. I had put it in my pocket after syncing with my Mac, and pressed on the part of the case above the play button, so that it would st…

Ideally you can hold the play and menu buttons, but you might need to plug it into the AC adapter before doing that. PLugging it in helped me for really tough freezes.

My nephews iPod mini just did this. Anyone know why it freezes? Is Apple aware of the problem? Firmware Fixes?

If you have Diskwarrior, can run it on an iPod. I've heard of some iPods running out of space or being filled to the max and having some problems. If it continues, try a reinstall.

I have the cigarette lighter connector and the wire is just way too long. Has anyone (successfully) removed a section of the wire? Please post any info you might have on this.

It's just basic electronics....Cut the wire, then splice them both together. You could use electrical tape or those screw on connecters you can pick up at radioshack. Just tell the…

Why not just wrap it up with a rubber band or something? Why risk destroying your cable for a minor inconvenience? Steve

My post was a bit vague. I orginally wanted to cut the end off, remove some wire, and re-attach it. My objective was to keep it clean, ie no shrinktube or solder. i think what I wi…

I ask again: why risk destroying the cable? Steve

I am picky about stuff like this. To be honest, its worth the 40 dollar risk. I will be attempting it when my tools finally show up. I will be sure to post how it turns out

I'm guessing that when I close up my PowerBook with my iPod Shuffle plugged in and charging, that it will cease charging. At least the yellow light goes out when I close it. I had…

the dock may work. it's a theory. test it out.

According what I have just read on the subject, some Macs continue to power USB while asleep while others do not. Perhaps the OP's USB light is getting a tiny amount of power from …

Make sure you leave the PowerBook plugged into AC when you close the lid. If I sleep my PB and remove AC power, the USB and FW bus won't have power.

my shuffle does not charge when the powerbook is asleep and it is attached to a dock and a powered usb2 hub.

My shuffle's light turns out when I close my iBook. However, it also does not turn on while plugged in. It just remains inactive. So I guess it's not charging but also knows it's …
