Yes, yes … Mac products do sometimes fuck up.
My fancy new 160 GB iPod Classic has been acting all funky for the last few days when I have tried to load songs/movies. So, last night it was being a pain again and kept saying “Cannot eject iPod as it’s in use” by some program or other. So, I disconnected it. When I checked to make everything was still okay after the disconnect … all my music, videos and movies were gone!!! When I reconnected the iPod, my trusty old Powerbook didn’t recognize my iPod and treated it like it was new and needed to be formatted. So I did that and now have to spend ages reloading all my stuff back on.
I have been smart this time and have backups of everything. But this just sucks ’cause the old Powerbook has a USB 1.0 port and the new iPod works best off of a USB 2.0 port. What that means is that loading things takes f – o – r – e – v – e – r.
Now you know what I am gonna be doing for the next few days. Boo-fuckin’-hoo … right?~
It was the porn. You caught an STD (Sexy Trojan Download) and it piddled your pod. I’m wrapping mine baby!! Can’t be too careful….
Dr. Phibes … that is quite possibly the GREATEST COMMENT EVER!!!
Just ’cause I love ya man! Hope your day got better.
did you lose all my Joni?
I’m convinced that they mess up because they are made to be used with evil PCs! (that at least makes me feel better about mine at the moment!)
okay, the above comment did not sound right and so, i typed it again! thanks for deleting the one that was correct! “they are mess up” is supposed to be ” they mess up”.
See … I FIXED IT!!! Pffffffffft.
Pfffffffffft back to ya! the helicopter was the most exciting part of my evening! pretty sad, huh?
All the trouble started when Apple abandoned Firewire for USB 2.0 and started courting the Windows crowd. I’d love to see Apple create a Mac only iPod with Firewire. I recently learned my iPhone will not work with the MINI’s iPod connector because the iPhone lacks Firewire support. Uhhhhh.
Yeah. My old iPod worked off Firewire and never had any trouble. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
