Missing Sync or PocketMac wil sync it with your mac. I bekieve PocketMac at this time is the only one that lets you install apps on it directly from the mac.

You can install apps with Missing Sync as long as they are CAB files and not EXE. It's the same for PocketMac. I reviewed PocketMac last year if that would be of interest to you:…

Update to the latest version and resync the music.

Okay.. unless there's a new version which has been released in the past week or so that I don't know about, the software is the latest version...

I have one of the new color 20gb iPods. I bought it to upgrade from my monochrome 15gb iPod. I've had to "reboot" it several times and it is getting annoying. I loose my place w…

Bah, just had to "reset" it again. I paused to go to the restroom and when I came back I had to do a reset. Grrrrr. J.

Yeah just tried that too... nothing... Any other ideas? Lets say the battery was completely dead, and it just needed charging. Would it still show up in the computer? Would the…

Ah, ok. If you get audiobooks from iTMS and/or Audible.com, they will show in the Audiobooks portions. You may be able to edit the info on a book you ripped yourself for it to sho…

What stuff do you have that you want to get onto the iPod? These foreign language audio files, what format are they in? I know a way to get them on the AudioBooks catergory, I just…

They are mp3's

Okay. In iTunes, go to Edit > Preferences > Importing. Choose the AAC Encoding and whatever bitrate you want. Click okay. Import the .mp3 files into iTunes. Find them, righ…

My thanks also for that tip, it'll be good to find my audiobooks in...audiobooks :-) fyi: I used "A Better Finder Rename" contextual menu to do the extension renaming. Very effici…

Good tip, and great scripts, thanks for the pointer! Chas

I have some CD's that are spoken-word material and I noticed that I could rip to AAC and "make bookmarkable" using the script from Doug Adams (see below) with one problem... The p…

You can join tracks that are already in iTunes by opening them in Quicktime Player and pasting them together into a single file. You need Quicktime Pro, I think, but then it's easy…

What computer do you have? Have you updated to 10.4.2?
