new ipod coming?

[link]

Can anyone help me out with needing more RAM? I'm all confused by the options...

So I have a 12" 1GHz Powerbook that I got in March 2004. It has 256MB of RAM, which is....really not enough.

So I'm wanting to buy more. But I don't quite get what my options are...or why there are so many. I know people here have recommended other world computing but I look at that page and go "Uhhhhh....I don't know which one to get!". I don't understand the difference between them! Ack! Help! (I think I'd be wanting to get the 1gig, but if 512 is enough, would be glad to save, since this damn laptop battery is ALSO needing replacement desperately....)

Hmmm. I'm not sure I'd like a digital click wheel.

Meara, I have some thoughts, but I suspect others will give you more coherent information.

Get the 1 GB chip. This is the chip to order for your machine. I'm happy to put in it when you are out here if you don't feel comfortable with the installation.

Yep, that's what I was going to say (whew!) but I wasn't sure which powerbook you had and therefore how far you could expand your RAM.

Woohoo! Have ordered it, ND! Yay, seeing you this weekend!

Annoyingly, I just tried to return the FM transmitter I bought to the Apple store, but they pointed out that the return date was four days ago, and then figured out that the darn thing isn't actually *broken*, it just doesn't work with *my* iPod (which...my ipod still has a couple hours of battery, and synchs with my computer fine, so...who knew?). GRR. I do not want to throw $60 down the drain. Yeesh.

What kind of ipods does it work with? Someone here might buy it off you.

meara, did you go in person? Did they call the manager over? It's been my observation that most Apple store managers would be nicer about selling you something that ended up being not the right one.

If not, that's just weird. Is it an iTrip? Maybe you could contact the manufacturer.

Yeah, I got the manager, and went in person--the first guy thought I just hadn't read the directions, the manager then thought the first guy didn't know what he was doing, etc etc.

They let me exchange it, in case it was in fact a problem with the transmitter, but when I got it home and opened it, it does indeed seem to be a problem with my iPod. No idea WHAT the problem is, since it worked on their iPods, and it's *supposed* to work on my iPod, but it doesn't...they seemed ot think it might be somethign to do with the power (since it's the kind of transmitter that plugs into the bottom of the iPod), and mine *is* getting old, but...it still plays for a couple hours, so who the heck knows.

Like I said, it worked fine for them (and while one was a nano, one was an older version) and worked on mine ONCE, but wont' normally, no matter how I jiggle it.

So you didn't have your iPod with?

If no one wants to buy the transmitter here, maybe you could bring your iPod and the transmitter in and let them discover the trouble, and maybe in the end they'll just refund it anyway. Sometimes they even fix the iPod for free. Sometimes.

Worth a try, if you have the time.
