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 *just* figured out you can organize your playlists into folders and subfolders with the newest versions of iTunes. Which I have wished for for a long time.
I love that feature. However, playlists are not organized this way on an iPod, so if you have a bazillion playlists you still have to scroll through them on an iPod.
I don't see any other screws -- how much force is generally needed to pull the cover apart? I mean, should I be using the claw part of my claw hammer?
there must be an online guide to getting case covers off
Exactly, must be.
Sumi, is your machine a brand name, or the case itself? Sometimes there are specific instructions at the Mfgr websites.
Thanks, Jessica! I was worried I'd somehow broken it or something. I also had nightmares of my poor little Mini filled to the brim with podcasts I'd heard already....

Oh. That sucks. That's where all my playlists live.
Look! I fixed my on/off button!
Thanks for your help. I think I did okay (well, I'm here, right?) -- even though I did have extra screws. . .

Welcome to the world of PC maintenance. As long as the screws aren't loose inside the case, it's not so bad.

It's almost impossible to disassemble and reassemble an electronic device without producing a screw or two. It's how screws reproduce.
I agree. I fixed my niece's digital camera yesterday. Clearly the problem included excess screws, as I had three left over.
Nothing rattles, and it works. No problem.
Otoh? I managed to get a minor burn from my soldering iron...
copied from Natter:
I am giving away my old computer tomorrow and have just taken a turn at cleaning all the personal stuff off. I deleted all the internet stuff and mail profiles and documents. Anyone know specific other things I should do? Is there some way for me to unregister myself?
nevermind - I am just erasing the harddrive.
I'd also repartition the hard drive, too, at least.
Even if you trust the recipient.
