  2. Well, I made the mistake of unplugging my iPod last night, and I had to completely restore it! Not an apple problem, just my stupidity and tiredness (I was doing this at 4:00 in the morning). Luckily I had everything backed up. So here's a warning---Always eject your iPod before unplugging the USB

    I always unplug it before ejecting. It ejects automatically, so no point doing something extra.

    I never ejected it either. But It will always give me a "device removal" message. And I never pay any attention to it.

    According to the USB1.1 and 2.0 Specifications, USB is a 'hot-plug' technology (unlike Firewire which apparently can cause your device to corrupt). Which means you can, as long as nothing is copying to or being used from the device (such as saving a file to it or playing a DVD), then it's fine to unplug it without using the 'Device Removal' or 'Safely Remove Hardware' utility. But it does change for different devices such as video-cameras, MP3 players, iPods, singing santas etc.

    I do remember when some guy put in the wrong plug to his external drive and boom. Oops.

    Singing santas use USB 2.0? LOL

    Oh yeah. And so do those small Christmas Trees that you get and coffee warmers. Very convenient.
  8. I'll ask my own question here, because I'm absolutely stumped.

    When using iTunes 7.5, how would you stop 'Determining Gapless Playback'? As most of the bootlegs here are gapless (without using the Crossfading options) there's really no point for iTunes to ask. It's just an added inconvenience to an already slow and buggy program. Hopefully someone here knows more about it than I do. Can the iPod classic (the new fancy ones) use iTunes 6 or iTunes 7.2 unofficially - because even though it's uglier I'd prefer something to be working rather than having fancy features and not getting the basics right!

    I actually have this thought. Does Apple make crappy, slow and buggy software for Windows and make it look better on a Mac or their programmers just don't like alternative operating systems (apparently they don't like Linux, because NONE of their software is supported on it - so much if I wanted to change over.

    Actually you're correct here. Apple software DOES run better on a mac.

    You'd certainly hope.
  11. I'd agree with Nate. iTunes and all the other iLife stuff runs flawlessly on my Mac. Slow, occasionally, but that's more to do with my processor speed than anything else
  12. the iPod is being picked up tomorrow. Sad day
