on my 1st gen ipod, it says the same thing, but i just replugged it into the computer and it updated the fimware, so you dont really "need" the adapter it more than likely just sa…

On my 2G, 3G and 4G (mini) iPods, the only instruction is to plug it back into the Mac. So if the photo requires AC, that's news to me.

mine is PC formatted. I just installed the latest update, now it says "plug into AC adapter." Which of course, I never have with me. So my iPod is useless until I get home. Major P…

Okay.. So I dropped my iPod from 20' (don't ask.) The drive worked for a few minutes then got to bad sectors where the impact pushed the heads into the platters. Anyhoo, it's a 40 …

Anybody have any ideas? I haven't yet lost hope!

I have my dock hooked up to my stereo and plugged into the AC outlet. My question is, when the iPod is connected to the charger, and playing, does it run directly off the adaptor, …

Hi iPod users, a friend of mine have bought a nice four generation 20 GB iPod, all is OK... if only he could get the iPod to charge via FireWire, he must charge it via USB, this is…

More details are definitely needed. What machine is your friend trying to hook up to? Is this a built-in Firewire port or on a PC or PCI card? Have you tried different ports wit…

Well, he has an iBook Dual-USB 600MHz and a Sawtooth PowerMac G4, but being honest I lack real info about if he has tried it in both Mac. Once I get more info I�ll post it

OK, my friend was at my home today, so we tried it with my PowerMac, the issue is really that the iPod is not mounted via FireWire, since he has only one FireWire iPod cable, we un…

The HD of my iPod 40GB is obviously dead, can I expect it to be replaced with a photo 60 GB? Anyone has had this replacement done or should I expect Apple to replace the HD?

Expect a new iPod, a 40GB one. You can ask if they'll let you top-up the difference. You may be able to upgrade that way.

Np they will not let you upgrade even if you pay the difference. The system is setup to do only a like-for-like replacement unless Apple decides to offer a better unit due to no lo…

Apple seems to have a surprisingly large stock of old iPods. Just a few weeks ago I saw people bringing in dead 3Gs (under warranty of course) and they had more 3Gs to swap them w…

yeah, that is exactly what they do... mine just got replaced (3G/10GB)

Ditto. GF's (3G/40GB) got replaced with same.

Compare and contrast to iTunes? iTunes, despite its faults, works. This other proposed service: Vapourware.

Well, I bought an iPod, and iTrip to listen to my music on my cassette-busted 10 year old car radio. I must say, the idea just seemed totally cool: Transmitting from my iPod to an…

I've had great experiences with the iTrip. Where do you live? Obviously, with bigger cities, you'll have more noise. Griffin does offer an app to help you find the best frequenci…

I even modified mine and pulled the antenna out and it still sucks. Im looking at alternative opinons.
