It wasn't the greatest remote in the world, and Apple's handling of it visa-vie the cord length was pretty half-assed. But there are all sorts of situations where it is convenient …

To slightly divert the topic, it now looks like any in-line remotes for any iPod generation are going the way of the dodo. If I want to pick one up for my iPod photo, should I get…

I only know of one third party remote, but there are probably more. I bought one of these a while ago. It's very cheap feeling (very light and the buttons are kind of crappy) but i…

I actually liked the remote. I had the SP style inner ear headphones from sony so the cord was really short. The apple remote plus those were a great length.

The iFM might be a possible remote alternative for the new iPods. It is an FM radio tuner, but also acts as a remote control that plugs into the dock connector. Apparently you have…

Although I never really used the remote that much, I think they should have kept it. At least they should have kept the connector and made the remote an option. Apparently, Apple t…

hiya, I recently sold my 4th gen b/w 40gb ipod for $300 to someone at work to go towards a 60g 5th gen black video (drool). Anyway, im a mac user and the person i sold the ipod to…

He has to load iTunes on his PC to get it to be seen as anything other than a generic USB-connected disk drive. There seems to be a version of iTunes for all the current versions …

with the ipod updater does he click on update or restore? is there anyway to do this w/out losing the content thats in the ipod itself??

So, My friend bought an iPod 20GB Click Wheel in May but hadn't used it because he had purchased a shuffle. In September I bought it off of him brand new (not even out of the box)…

If it's under warranty they will fix it.

I am not talking about making the Finder non-brushed metal. Or nicer folder icons. Beyond all traditional stuff. I am talking about a whole new way to get around your computer. V…

I don't think much will change in terms of the Finder's UI in v10.5 at all.

I think iTunes will replace every app, including the Finder.

Well, I love Looking Glass's use of 3D as a way to minimize or windowshade applications, but that's really beside the point. Frankly, I just want the OS 9 Finder re-coded in Cocoa…
