I plugged my iPod into my wife's MBP 13" this morning and it was instantly seen. She is using iTunes 9.0.1 and I have 9.0.2 - so much for Apple's advice to always install the latest updates. I've always been in two minds about fixing something if it's not broken, but after being told half a...

My wife has a 13" MBP for work. I'll try plugging into it tomorrow and see if it at least recognizes my iPod. I'll report back with what I find. Thanks for your help.

Giaguara, Thanks for your reply. I've reset it multiple times, put it in disk mode (as outlined in the link above), taken it out of disk mode by resetting it again, rebooted the MBP both with the iPod connected and without it connected, still nothing. It continues to appear on my...

Here's an update: Senuti, Yamipod and Expod all easily and quickly load the content of my iPod, only iTunes fails to load it.

I have an iPod Photo 60GB that's about 5 years old. It's worked fine with my MBP (see sig below) until today. When I plug it in, it appears on my desktop, iTunes launches, but it's not visible in iTunes. I've read a number of articles and followed the steps here...

Thanks, Earthsaver, I found something similar just a few minutes after I sent my original post. I hope you can help me with it. I've set up a location called AirPort-Off and removed AirPort from the list of things it can control (thus effectively turning AirPort off). Via...

I've decided to try automating a few things on my MBP and started playing around with Automator last night. My first "application" was a simple recording of my clicking on the wireless icon in the toolbar across the top of the screen and selecting "Turn AirPort on". This recorded fine and...

Thanks very much to you all for your suggestions. I'll go check them all out now. Really appreciate it.

Can someone tell how to definitively find and remove software that has been installed on my MBP? I've recently tried connecting to my father-in-law's network, but to no avail. The guy from BT did a remote desktop to my MBP via a Citrix app called BT-GoToAssist, which seemed to install a...

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Thanks. I'd say I use it more plugged into the mains than not, but do take it off the adapter a good bit just because I was given the impression by the guy at the Apple Store that I needed to do that to "exercise" the battery to make sure it would continue to charge correctly. So, just to...

Thanks Simbalala and DeltaMac for your replies, but I'm confused. What should I be doing to get the best life out of my battery? The guy at the Apple Store said that running from mains power all the time with the battery in the MBP would limit the battery life. Are you both saying I should...

The battery in my MBP was diagnosed as faulty a little under 2 months ago (the MBP was purchased in November 2008) and I was given a new battery off the shelf at an Apple Store. I've just been charging the battery up again and noticed that although the light is green on the magsafe, the...

Hello to all, This is, I'm sure, a simple question, but I've been getting conflicting info on Google. My wife and I have the newest MacBook Pros (well, mine is about a year old, but it's one of the "new" ones with the black keyboard and black trim around the screen). I would like to...

Thanks, Jbarley! That did the trick.

Hi, Earthsaver, Thanks for your reply. It has sort of helped; as long as the mp3's are in a directory other than my desktop, they more or less have the desired icon, but if I drag and drop them to the desktop, they instantly go to the unwanted (and ugly) dark icon. Any further...

Hi to all, I guess mine is a simple question, but so far I haven't found the answer on Google. :) I'd just like to change the Snow Leopard mp3 icon (ugly and dark) back to the nicer, lighter, friendlier icon that was used before my upgrade. It must still be on the system because often when I...

I've just installed Logic Express 9 and was told that this would allow me to access and use my Apple Jam Pack Symphony Orchestra. So far I can find now way to get this to appear in Logic Express. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Thanks, Bowjest

Hi, Diablo, thanks for your reply. Sorry, I meant to say the problem exists between steps 6 & 7: I select to transfer the data wirelessly between the two Macs (look for a Mac on my network) and it prints a code key to the screen. But at this point, the little timer wheel spins round and round...

Thanks, Diablo, So, just to confirm, if I attach the new MBP via firewire like I do now with our family MBP, I can backup data to the same device (albeit not at the same time as the 15" MBP) without worrying that the data from the 13" MBP is going to overwrite the existing 15" machine's backups?
