Is there any way I could revert to a previous firmware version to check anyway? I assume the "restore" function will only reset the iPod at the current firmware version?

I have a pretty high-end system in storage right now, I'd love to compare with that, but not possible. It sounds as bad coming out the Mac, I think it is my brain. I don't go expensive in the hopes of avoiding this prob, it's more that I spend up in that range anyway for sound. I never had...

yes, I've checked all the obvious stuff. I think it's something more fundamental. I can only guess I didn't notice this when I tested them, or my ears have become more sensitive to that frequency. Was just curious about the possibility of any recent h/w or s/w updates to the player that might...

I've been slowly driven insane by the awful sound I've noticed in my iPod in recent weeks. The treble has become painfully harsh. I went out of my way to get some decent headphones, as I really appreciate good quality sound. They sounded great, and then suddenly a couple of weeks ago it was...

Satcomer, you said, in post#2: "To set a Keyboard shortcut just launch System Preferences (in your Dock)->Keyboard & Mouse. Then once the Keyboard and Mouse system Preference just click on the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab. Once in the tab just click on the + button in the bottom left hand corner to...

BUMP Sorry for the long delay, but I've finally gotten around to looking at this, and you can't just assign the desired keyboard shortcut manually. There's no menu command in 'Dictionary' to use in the sense of how the default 'lookup in dictionary' command shortcut is used. I would guess...

Yes this helps a little. I just kind of expected some kind of syntax including the menu names or something (like File->Open). I guess my Windows deprogramming process is still not complete. I'll have to wait until I get home tonight to make an attempt using Dictionary for a custom setting -...

Thanks muchly for the feedback, but that much is the basic info which I already understand. You leave me hanging at "add your own custom shortcut". It's really frustrating because this is exactly what Mac help does. No examples or guidance on how that should be entered, it just leaves it up...

I've noticed that the keyboard shortcut (as you can check in settings) for dictionary uses this stupid World Reference barf whatever. But the right-click menu uses the simple dictionary application. Is there any way I can set my keyboard shortcut to use the normal dictionary, like it works...

FIGURED IT OUT. Sorry for wasting your time with a dumb thread about obvious crap. Maybe I should get some spleep...

the title sums it up. just picked up an ipod nano 1st gen. Reformatted for Mac. It's not syncing the ticked songs. I can manually drag them and it works fine otherwise, but it's not doing any automatic syncing of ticked songs. I also noticed it's not showing in the Disk Utility. Is that...

I just fixed a similar problem - my screen looked all wonky, like it had low res color settings or something. I found that the contrast setting in Universal Access was mysteriously mucked about. Try checking this, it may help. Otherwise, good luck....

I have just stumbled across the exact same problem (same symptoms). So I BUMP this thread and hope that someone will know what to do. If I log in with another account it's fine. I tried the WhiteonBlack/BlackonWhite thing, no change. I tried removing the iMac color profile, but no change...

Hi again. I haven't bothered with that systemUI prefs file. It's been a full day with no problems so far. I'm SO GLAD I found it. But I still don't understand. All I did was set my desktop to change every 15 minutes, and that seems to have been the problem. In all my searches, there...

thanks for the recommendation. I've stopped the changing desktop for now to see if it's the culprit. If it doesn't work I'll see what deleting that plist does. Will report back in a day or two.
