Personally I would leave it as GMT. However, you do have a point that the MacNN.com frontpage is in EST, and that one or the other probably ought to be changed for consistency. If …

GMT

It will remain GMT. Thanks everyone.

I want to splice either my USB or Firewire cable into my car's CD changer cable (behind the head unit). Does anyone have a link to the Apple iPod cable wiring digram or color codes…

The info you're asking for won't help you. you need the pin-out of the connector itself. Neither the F/W nor the USB cable will have wires going to the pins you need for the line-l…

Someone (I can't remember which company) makes a small device called the PocketDock. It's a tiny little connector which goes from the dock connector to line out and either FW or U…

This page may help you. I don't understand it myself, but it looks like the sort of thing that you asked for.

The pocketDock looks a lot like the new Apple adapter, bet the PhotoPod will treat it similarly too - the pinout christ posted looks very helpful too. Glad I checked back here. One…

All, Thanks for the pointers. I printed and filed the iPod connector for my electrical records. Yes, it looks like the PD line-out will do exactly what I want. I had seen the PD, …

Not sure if I'm the only one that this has happened to but, yesterday I was removing the shuffle from the shuffle dock and the bottom portion of the shuffle snapped off. Full pic …

Called apple and they won't sodder the ribbon. Applecar apparently doens't cover physical damage and I'll be charged for a new one. Then, I went looking for a computer repair shop …

You must have had some *really* important data on there to go through all this and spend $80 to get it off of a $99 device. If it was that important, you should have had it backed…

Just call Apple and I am sure they will give you a new one.

Went ot the repair shop in Wethersfield, CT which turned out to be the Apple Reseller that my family used to use up until 2000 The guy who helped was going to try and take the USB…

Not even sure if the thing was defective. That couldn't have happened by a "defect" or a "design flaw" Looks as if you were in a hurry and just ripped it off the USB slot, and …

While I doubt it is a "design flaw", it might well be a lemon. My first Apple portable was an iBook. Both front corners on my ibook cracked off while I had it. I hadn't mistreat…

Glad it worked out for you. However, the path to get your issue resolved was good, I still would have barked up Apple's tree in regards to possibility of it being a manufacturing …

Wow, I can't believe how unsympathetic the posters on this thread are. What if it were you? Why assume that he's at fault? Whatever, it's not like it's so impossible that there wa…

BTW, just want to add that some people use USB flash devices solely because they don't want to store particular data anywhere else, like encryption key or passwords, sensitive data…

If it was a defect, it would be happening more often. A friend of mine broke his in the same way. But he yanked the thing off his USB slot and cracked it. Looks just like yo…

I concur with the overall opinion... unless that was a bloody awful solder join on the board, there is no way in hell that came apart through normal use (several months of board so…
