    Turn off iPod?

    I read that you can turn off your iPod by holding the pause button down for a few seconds. This does not turn my iPod nano off. So, I just poke each of the buttons over and over until the screen turns off. But, I don't think it turns off then either, because I usually find the iPod battery dead...

    Close safari?

    The user guide says that you can close an application by clicking the home icon (they then have a square following that, in line with the text). There is an icon in the safari toolbar that looks like overlapping squares, but it does not close safari. What must I do?

    group songs by album?

    Okay, I've had this ipod thingy for years now. It can't be that other people have the same trouble I do. So, help? If I import songs and then drag them onto my ipod, the result is a jumble of songs sorted by song title. Is there a way to have them grouped by artist/album/track number instead?

    Exporting mail from Mail.app?

    Mail is stuck in a loop. I think it's trying to copy email to the Trash on my imap server and it times out, then it tries again and again and again and finally crashes and I get the option to quit or relaunch or reset and relaunch. Trying all of those after it starts again, the same thing...

    mail.app stuck talking to imap server

    Mail.app appears to be stuck in a loop talking to my imap server running on linux. In the activity window, it shows "Copying message" and "synchronizing with server".

    trackpad fun with no sidetrack under leopard

    I think it was sidetrack that fixed the problem I had a long time again where I keep touching the trackpad while typing and cause the cursor to do semi-random things. Now, with sidetrack not working under leopard I'm doing that again. I actually use a mouse, and I have ignore trackpad...

    G4 laptop goes "Cluck cluck"

    Every now and then (once every 3 months or so) my laptop makes a "Cluck cluck" noise, which is then followed by either the computer freezing for 30 seconds or so, or it completely freezes and then has boot problems. Do you recognize this? I picture the noise coming from an arm of the hard...

    I have music in my computer and I have my friend here with her ipod. I would like to put my music on her ipod. But, iTunes appears to only give me the option to delete the contents of her ipod and sync it with my iTunes money funnel. I've seen many programs for partially bypassing the ipod...

    iTrip and ipod model

    I bought someone a 40GB ipod a while back, and now I've bought them an iTrip thing. Now I'm worried the iTrip might not support the model of ipod. On the griffentechnology web page, they list the models of ipod by terms that mean nothing to me. For example, they say the iTrip(2) supports 3rd...
