Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I would think it's more likely to have a bad connection or cable rather than a DOA drive. In any event, it's an easy thing to check. First, double-check that all the connections are OK. If it still doesn't work, try a different power cable to the drive (if the drive is not doing anything at all). Then try a different data cable. Or use another cable to connect the drive to the other disk controller (setting the drive to master, of course) - as sometimes, two different brands of drives will just not play nice together on the same cable. You can also make the hard drive the slave and the burner master.
re-reading the instructions i'm wondering if i plugged the interface connector in properly. the red edge has to be facing up, i think. i'm not positive that i did this.
Usually, the connecters only go in one way. If not, then make sure the red edge wire corresponds to pin 1 (you should be able to tell which is pin 1 by looking closely at the connectors on the drive, or by checking the manual or by going online to the manufacturer's website.)
Gmail's been slow for me and DH all day. Prolly some kind of updating going on.

Has anyone used eXeem for peer to peer? What's it like?
Isn't that what the guy from suprnova was working on as a BT replacement?

Yeah, that's the one. Trouble is, they've allegedly taken open source code and made a closed source program. Moreover, adding insult to injury, they're supposedly putting in advertising like Kazaa et al.
The guy from Suprnova is merely lending the Suprnova name to the product, for a fee.
Someone is already working on an adless version, eXeemLite: [link]
Maybe they should call it
Wormhole eXeem.
I have a smart playlist question -- when you create one in iTunes, is it essentially converted to a normal playlist on your iPod which is updated every time you connect?
I'd read some people wanting them to stay smart on the iPod (and it would be nice), and I was wondering how far away from that they were.
I've been reading so many iPod wishes -- I do wonder how people think half of them would be implemented and still maintain the simplicity of the user interface.
