    Ah. Thanks


  7. 120GB should keep you going for a good while. No worries Dan.
  8. Apologies if there's an obvious answer to this:

    What's the easiest and cheapest way to store boots on a separate drive other than my computer's hard drive? I.e., would storing them on a flash drive be possible, for example? I don't own an iPod, but was considering buying one for this purpose, unless there's an easier and/or cheaper way.

    I'm looking to store about 32 GB worth of music on said drive, with room for more.

    I ask because my computer is reaching its storage limit, causing most of my programs from running up to speed and preventing me from downloading anything else. I've gotten rid of all unecesary programs I had, and I've compressed most of my other files.

    Thanks very much in advance for any advice.
  9. Hey Nicole! Probably an external USB hard drive of around 250 - 320GB might be worthwhile. iPods just aren't that reliable to store things on. They can fail in an instant whereas a larger and more dedicated hard drive is loads more reliable. Plus you can backup everything else you have too. On that external drive of that size, I can store loads of lossless CD rips, all my blog content and database and still have loads of room left over for stuff like operating system DVD images, internet downloads, HD video etc.

    Flash drives would certainly work, but for what they offer are very expensive. For a 32GB flash drive is around $150 whereas a hard drive of 10x the size is $20 less. I know what I'd choose.
  10. I think an Ipod classic should do the job just fine, (storing bootlegs), with the added bonus of being always able to listen to all your bootlegs.

    Don't buy separate devices when one does the job just as well.

    Yeah, the flash drives I was looking at were about $175 for 32GB, some a little more, which is why I hesitated from buying one.
    This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks very much Drew!

    I'm still debating whether or not I want to spend the money on one, just for that reason. They're so much easier than anything else. Thanks for the advice!

    Hold down the “Standby” button

    When it says “slide to turn off”, ignore it. It should restart with a blank screen. Look at iTunes, and your device should be removed. Now lift the Standby button, while still holding onto the Home button.

    Keep holding the Home button until the iPod reconnects on iTunes. When the device shows up in iTunes, that’s when you’ll need to lift up your button. If you wait any longer, it will go into Recovery Mode, and that’s not what you want. Your iPod should be blank.

    Now iTunes will tell you that the iPod Touch is in Recover Mode. You can now perform a manual restore on it.


    There you go. And if you force it into DFU mode, you have to restore - I made that mistake many times over.


    Thanks drew!
