My 3g would last perhaps 5 hours as I would always skip tracks which really eats up the battery. So far my shuffle is at 10 hours or more and the light is still green indicating t…

If I understand correctly, there's earphones, a dock with a data port and line out, a charger with a FireWire port, an iPod->FW cable and an iPod->USB2 cable. I want to buy …

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…

Is there any way to hard wire an iPod in your car so that it will power up and play when you turn the car on? I�m looking at getting an iPod for the car, but cannot see taking it t…

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

Does anyone know if the price of any of the ipods will be dropping soon? Or does anyone know of any new types of ipods coming 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…
