cseals3, I looked up the error code "0000000F" "00000002" in my copy of Macworld Mac Secrets, 5th Edition by David Pogue and Joseph Schorr. Staying focused on the "00000002" code…

I've always wanted a really nice first generation iPod. It seems like most of them would have been thrown away by now, because new iPods are so cheap compared to the first one.

So I was poking around craigslist yesterday, when I came across "First Gen iPod - $20." Interested, I clicked to find what appeared indeed to be a 1G iPod! E-mailed the girl, and w…

Ohhh I am trying that now. Be back with results.

I remember hearing around in the apple discussions that you can use standard a/v to headphone style cable, it's just that the colored composite cables are switched around. For ins…
