Hil, any chance your iPod is set to have contacts & calendar on it? Doesn't sound like it, but it's a possibility. I agree with jimi - that's way too much space to be taken up by software.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

If I go to the "Extras" menu, there are Contacts and Calendar listings, but no actual contacts or calendar entries in there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't suppose there are any XSL gurus about who could help me with a problem?

Not a guru, but I'll give it a shot.

Actually, I got it to work by using '<xsl:choose>' instead of '<xsl:if'. I have no idea why the 'if' didn't work, but I'm under a time constraint so I'm just happy it's working.

Thanks anyway, Tom.

wanting a 250GB to 300GB external HD for keeping all my vids, etc...have done research and now i just feel like banging my head against the wall. *sigh*

the one that comes up all the time in reviews is the Maxtor one touch, but there are bad reviews that mention losing all data or simply stopping working after the 1yr warrenty. the others have crappy backup/software programs.

the "newer" Maxtor II one touch is supposed to be better, but i am not sure how long it has been out, therefore, no user reviews on performance. *sigh*

any suggestions?

Um.

Buy a regular hard drive and a drive enclosure to put it in.

eta - Something like this ought to work if you're using USB: [link]

Or this if you're using FireWire: [link]

Add in a hard drive and you're good to go.

I own 5 or 6 of these drives in various sizes. I love them and have had great luck with this company.

That's the one I've got. No problems so far.
