It seems like he could boot the mac with the PPC Live CD version of Ubuntu and the linux HDD hooked up internally. Then he could drag and drop the files.

The only ubuntu CD I have is version 4 and its an install CD every ISO I burn just does not work... I have no idea why yet. On the other laptop is a P133 that refuses to boot off…

I think if I can make an ISO like the one spoke of above and boot it on the neighbors computer its a 60 gig with 30-40 or so of information but some I have on DVD back ups so I cou…

Ok I got a friend to burn the ISO of Ubuntu 6.X. It reads it just fine. Here is how I did the burn with Disc Utility: Open Program Images -> Open Select my ISO Burn. Pretty…

I've had the same problem on my nano with multiple folders for the same artist. I'm not sure how to compile them. It's a bit annoying. Any help would be appreciated!

There are no folders for music on the iPod -- not in the traditional sense. Your music is organized entirely by its ID3 tags. So if you have several entries for one artist, they mu…

Yup, I spent about 20 minutes today going through my iPod, renaming a bunch of songs, and eventually elminated all of the redundant folders. It's really nice how easy it is to sel…

People have accomplished this by using Unix symbolic links, but unfortunately, I haven't tried it myself, so I can't offer any specific advice. Any Unix hackers out there who want …

I'll have a look at it tomorrow night and see what I can come up with..

A second attempt yielded the same general message but the error code was 512 instead of 7.

Cool, thanks. That thread link didn't work, but i did create an ISO image and set the default CD drive to be that image. Gave it a whirl again and it started to work, but never f…

screen lock will only keep people from browsing through your iPod. As soon as it's hooked up to a computer, they can see all of your files. Hope that answers your question.

Actually, I'm not sure if that's the case. This page explains how to use it, but it seems to be contradictory. It says: Quote: Screen Lock only locks users out of the …

I'll test it out tomorrow. That would be cool if that was the case!

thanks guys, i cant test it my self, as i only have my powerbook with itunes on it.

Probably not, but you could use the built in one at FULL volume and that might help. My son had problems with alarms until he hooked his iPod up to a set of external speakers with…
