I literally halved the amount of seconds it took for my Linux box to crunch a seti block (from 14,000 seconds to just under 6000) by going to Crunch3r's optimized client and switc…

Oh, read also the last messages in the Altivec Optimized client thread: talking about how to get more credit for a work unit depending on how it is sent.

How on earth can you game a system like that? I don't understand how you could cheat. I'd heard about cheats on Seti classic but I didn't get how they were doing that either. …

Call me ignorant then. Okay, I can see WHY people would cheat but I'm not talking about that. Unless you are specifically finding a way to EDIT the work unit while it is being pr…

Its formatted for mac. It has to be formatted for windows in order for windows xp to read it. If you format it FAT for windows, both computers should be able to read and write.

Gir- what do you mean by "if you format it FAT for windows?"

And why would I need to? Shouldn't the iPod already be formated to work with the two systems? Just a little lost on this whole situation.

When the iPod is formatted on a Mac, it gets written with the OS X filesystem, which Windows can't read or write. When the iPod is formatted in Windows (as it's asking you to do),…

will it still work with itunes on the mac?

It worked fine on the iBook, iTunes and all. I formated it like said to FAT32 on the XP box. I then got a B&W battery image with (!) in triangle on the nano screen. I remove…

This is really getting stupid. I managed to restore the software on the Nano. When I restore the factory settings on the mac, it asks to be formated on the XP. When restore on X…

You need to set the iPod up on the Windows PC, using the supplied iPod Software Updater (or even better, the latest iPod Software Updater downloaded from the iPod + iTunes section…

analogika That seemed to have fixed it. It now works well with both platforms. Thanks for the walk through on this. I am a little dumber than I thought.

No, you're not. Glad it worked.

Even your nano hates windows. JK, just format it for windows and it will be readable by both platforms

I believe we'd got that far.

Great explanation, analogika. There's some reasonable confusion about what "formatted for Windows" means when talking about an iPod. It DOES NOT mean that the internal drive is f…
