Hmm, no replies. OK, I'll try to shorten it: � is the iPod's data port the same port as the on the back of the dock? � is the included FireWire cable the same cable you use to h…

yes and yes. i have bought another f.w. cable so that i can charge the iPod when at work with the brick and the original is attached to the dock for synching with my mac and char…

thanks!

Another thing is that the ipod does not get re-synced each time it only gets updated from the itunes machine. So if you have a 40 gig,the first time will take a while to sync but a…

audvidsvs, thanks for the reminder. I know it doesn't have to write the full 40GB each time it syncs, since it does a differential sync. But still, a lossless encoded CD is about 2…

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.

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

Nobody knows for sure. As for new "types" of iPods - not likely. We just got a new type - the Shuffle. As for new models of iPods - that's also unlikely, though if anything we mi…

Your router is doing its job by hiding your computer from the Internet. If you want to expose it so that others can browse through it, you'll need to set up a "DMZ." Depending on…

Well, you wouldn't necessarily have to put the computer in a DMZ. He could specify a particular port for people to access the Public share, then set the router to forward such por…

You have to go into your router settings and forward TCP Port 548 to the local IP address of your computer, in your case 10.0.1.13. People on the internet would then access your co…
