Hello, I've got an iPod photo, which I would like to use as a disk drive with both my Macs and the PCs at my university. If I restore it on a windows PC, will I be able to keep i…

Surely someone else has needed to do this and can tell me if it'll work OK?

For sharing between mac and pc ipod must be pc formatted. Os X will work with it as just an external hd.

So I can't use it with iTunes on the Mac then?!?!?

I imagine no one is answering this question correctly because it's been gone over and over on these forums, just not since the ipod only forum was created. As long as you PC forma…

Now I'm really confused. Maybe because I've never used an iPod. However.. I just ordered a new iPod mini (blue) today and it should come in during next week. I just want to copy s…

How much more direct would you like it? You'd still need something to rip the songs to MP3, unless you were planning on using lossless audio, in which case your mini wouldn't hold …

Well, I set up an ipod for a friends daughter on their ***dell*** the first formatting took 3 hours, and didn't work. the second time it did work, but the ipod language ended up i…

I think in the manual it tells you what to do to reset the iPod to English. These directions can be performed on the iPod itself so it shouldn't be platform specific. It says thi…

If you do find yours, would you post how to do it? thanks rotut

From the manual: ----------- 1. Push Menu repeatedly until the main menu appears. 2. Select the fourth menu item (Settings). 3. Select the last menu item (Reset All Settings). 4…

Since I know spanish, if all that doesn't work I'll tell you what the menu names are.. Goto the main menu and follow this menu order... "Ajustes" (Settings) > "Idioma" (Langu…

Excelent! works fine.

The MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-835E in my new "17 PowerBook only burns at 2x using the IDENTICAL MEDIA that burns at 12x on my PC!! WTF? I have tried 3 different media so far. All burn at 2…

Was any of the media you tried proper name-brand media (e.g. Apple, Verbatim, TDK, etc) AND rated for 8x writing? Sometimes the cheaper stuff isn't coded right, and without the rig…

RiData 8x Rated (actually burns at 12x on my PC) Memorex Rated at 4x (burns at 2x) Beall Rated 4x (burns at 2x)

Unfortunately, not all DVD burners treat all brands equally. Case in point, the 8x LG burner in my G5 burns Memorex 8x at 2x. It burns Verbatim 8x and TDX 8x and the rated speed. S…

Mine burns Apple 8x at 8x. Won't waste my money on them, tho. (Got one for free) Haven't tried my Ritek discs yet. They haven't failed me yet...

I am beginning to not like MATSHITA drives. My Pioneer drives have never given me any trouble. All the Panasonic drives have been a continual source of frustration. matSHITa---now…

Apart from Apple which brand is guaranteed to burn at 8X?
