The only time this is a problem is if you try using the older Firewire cables -- they work for charging, but the Mac won't connect to most modern iPods: has to be USB.

I'm not using a Mac, I'm using a PC. I borrowed some of my coworkers USB cables and my iPod doesn't charge and my iTunes doesn't see the iPod. What the fuck. Is this like a generational problem or something?

I recently had liquid damage and they charged me 800$ to fix it. Even tho I had AppleCare.
I should be more angry, but I did spill the liquid on my Macbook :(

No. All the USB-iPod cables are identical. The dock port hasn't changed since the 3G iPod.

not all usb ports are powered
― Kramkoob (Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 19:31 (fifteen years ago) link
all my USB ports are working. my iPod was working prior to me losing the cable. I cannot find a cable that works. That is my problem.

was trying to use google video chat w/ my brother today on macbook and he couldn't hear me. actually he could hear a tiny bit of noise and something faint if i screamed HELLO. why doesn't my built-in mic work?
― horrible (harbl), Wednesday, 12 November 2008 23:48 (fifteen years ago) link
goto system prefs ---> Sound ---> Input
the mic volume might be turned down
― i love to hear this again and again (gbx), Thursday, 13 November 2008 00:57 (fifteen years ago) link
nope, tried that. the input level thing blinks a tiny bit when it hears sound, but talking doesn't make it go up and down like normal.

It takes a REALLY long time for my Genius results to be sent and delivered. Like, 10-15 minutes.

OK, apple wireless networking question:
we have an airport extreme and an airport express. the airport extreme is upstairs in the living room, running an 802.11n network at 2.4 ghz. the airport express is downstairs, in a bedroom, connected to a stereo for itunes and a printer for wireless printing.
we just bought a time capsule, and i'm trying to figure out what to do with it.
1) run a parallel network on 5-ghz 802.11n only, with the airport express extending this network. keep the airport extreme on 2.4 ghz for an old powerbook and for iphones.
2) put it in a different spot downstairs and use it to extend the existing network.
3) ??

For what it's worth, I get a lot better performance outta 5GHz than 2.4.
― яσσʍ♭ⱥȵℹҁᔔ ᴗȵȴℹʍℹȶ∊∂ (libcrypt), Monday, 29 December 2008 07:05 (fifteen years ago) link
put it in a different spot downstairs to extend network. that's what I do.

Will somebody please talk me out of buying an iPhone???
― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 29 December 2008 11:53 (fifteen years ago) link
Extending the network kills performance every time I've tried it.
― stet, Monday, 29 December 2008 16:47 (fifteen years ago) link
don't get an iPhone, if you have to have that stuff just get an ipod touch and save yourself hundreds and hundreds of dollars

I told my wife as I went out to run an errand yesterday, "If you need me for anything, just message me through Facebook."
― өөө (Pleasant Plains), Monday, 29 December 2008 16:51 (fifteen years ago) link
extending the network works fine for me. Check your settings. I think you set it to "bridge" or some shit.
― Dandy Don Weiner, Monday, 29 December 2008 17:36 (fifteen years ago) link
the ipod touch is not a phone
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 17:41 (fifteen years ago) link
also an iphone is $199, so you mean hundred and hundred of dollars
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 17:42 (fifteen years ago) link
The only thing putting me off of an iTouch is you have to be near a hotspot. I'd love to get a data-only plan for an iPhone somehow.
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 29 December 2008 17:48 (fifteen years ago) link
haha yes cutty you are brilliant.
― El Tomboto, Monday, 29 December 2008 17:49 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm just sayin. the phone comes in handy. like when you want to call someone.
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 18:13 (fifteen years ago) link
;)
Yeh, bridge works fine. If you put it on the other one where the second station rebroadcasts though, it kills the speed. Utility gives you a little warning about it as well.

cutty the thing with me is, I already have a phone, and it's smaller than the iPhone.
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 29 December 2008 18:53 (fifteen years ago) link
what is this small phone you speak of
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:00 (fifteen years ago) link
It's one of the 1,000,000,000,000 models of mobile phone produced in the last six years that's smaller than an iPhone.
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:06 (fifteen years ago) link
It's the new iPhone Nano.

i don't think SIZE is the deciding factor in a phone for me. plus you are willing to schlep around an ipod touch if it had a data only plan.
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:12 (fifteen years ago) link
btw i'm not an iphone zealot. i still like blackberrys. if you have an apple computer at home, an iphone is wonderful.
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:13 (fifteen years ago) link
i already schlep around an iPod - sometimes - and it's no big deal. i think i just like having separate devices. (and each one's smaller than an iPhone.)
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:16 (fifteen years ago) link
there you go talking about size again
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:17 (fifteen years ago) link
im very well aware of the iphone's shortcomings. it being TOO BIG never crossed my mind.
Well some of us don't carry purses.
