RE: Ipod by lizard.boy on 01-09-2005 at 04:14 AM

RE: Ipod by Titty on 01-09-2005 at 04:27 AM

I want the new ipod photos :]


But I'm poor :\

I don't really like the U2 edition that much,  I'd much rather have
the mini or original.  But for a U2 fan it means much more ;p

Yah , As you already know , Ive got the 20GB 4Generation iPod. I actually do prefer the colours of the iPod to the U2 iPod. Thats what I like about Apple , their minimalistic white and silver designs.

Besides , then people would say "You don't even know who U2 is."

TylerG, it would be awesome if you could provide me with one piece of information regarding your iPod. The "special" U2 edition, does it come with a cd besides the installer cd? If it doesn't then just hope to god you don't have to run a restore on your iPod or you can say buhbye to the 400 U2 songs on your iPod.

All iPods come with the AC Adapter, Firewire cable, USB cable, Manual, Installer CD, Warranty Guide. But as I asked eariler did you get anything else in the box of your iPod?

If you ever have to format your iPod this is what I am going to suggest. Before doing so backup your music.

Follow the following steps:

1) Connect iPod to your AC Adapter
2) Press and Hold the Menu and Select buttons until you see an Apple Logo. The pressure you put on the buttons should be very light as the buttons are sensitive.
3) At the Apple Logo, press and hold Play/Pause and Select. If done correctly your iPod will say Disk Mode at the top and say OK to Disconnect with a big checkmark. If you see this then disconnect the iPod from your AC Adapter and connect to the PC. If not try again. (The other way to get into Disk Mode is to press and hold Menu and Select, at the Apple Logo press Previous and Select (this should cause the Apple logo to Flip), at the next screen hit the Play/Pause button. Use the next button to scroll through the menu to look for Diskmode. Press select to access it.
4) Once in Disk Mode open My Computer then click the Tools Menu > Folder Options > View Tab > put a Dot beside Show Hidden Files and Folders, click Ok
5) Double Click your iPod in My Computer
6) Double Click iPod Control
7) You should have a folder names Music. This contains all the music. If needed you would want to back that up so you can sync your music back to your iPod after a restore.

Like no other, iPod U2 Special Edition stands out. Jet black, it bears a prominent red Apple Click Wheel and, on the flip side, the autographs of each U2 band member. Available for just $349, it comes with an exclusive U2 poster and, of course, the signature white iPod earbuds. As an extra special treat, it includes an iTunes Music Store coupon you can use to get $50 off your purchase of “The Complete U2.” As unique as the iPod itself, this digital boxed set brings together an amazing 446 U2 tracks. Songs span the band’s celebrated career. From “Boy” to “War” to “The Joshua Tree” to “Zooropa” to the brand-new “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb,” it includes every U2 album and brings us over 25 rare and unreleased tracks, including early demoes, remixes, and alternate versions of such songs as “YahWeh” and “Sometimes You Can’t Make it on Your Own.” You’ll find “The Complete U2” only on the iTunes Music Store.

The two bolded parts lead me to believe that they are encluded.

Yes, That is very misleading.  Untill I bought it I thought it would come with all those songs, but you just get a 50 dollar discount.  I will just put the U2 songs I already have on it.

If you read it quickly you might think it comes included, true.

I have the Cowon I-Audio CW300 mp3 player -- Excellent products, the best flash players if you ask me.

Apple is coming out with new stuff this or next week, can't remember the exact date(or whether only a preview, for that matter), you might want to wait for a while.
