Yep, should be fine. I think some of the options may look slightly different, but the priniple remains the same.

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!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I want to thank y'all for the advice. I did *something* slightly different than the exact directions, but it worked. Can you believe I work in a tech field and troubleshoot software? (One of my problems, and strengths, is that I just try *everything* at random and am not so good with learning any more than necessary. But I rarely keep track of what I'm doing. I'm fearless, but that leads to a lack of reproducibility. )

Argh. I just bought one of those iPod-docky clock-radio things, thinking it would be great as a clock radio, and as a "play my ipod in the bedroom when I want music" thing? Because I just got a new nano, and thought "My old iPod I can just keep there! Perfect!". Yeha, except my old one seems to be so old that it doesn't actually hook up to the clockradio thing quite right--if it's already playing, and I hook it in, it keeps playing (yay, music) but I can't fast forward or pause or anything, and the "turn on when the clockradio says as an alarm", NSM. And the ipod doesn't power up from the thing. Which makes it fairly useless. GRRR.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Meara, what kind did you get, and can you return it? I have an ihome alarm clock that came with a bunch of Docking accessories which allow it to play with different kinds of ipods, including my first generation.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
meara, which ipod clock radio? I got the iHome one, and dig it. Try setting the alarm on the iPod AND the alarm clock. In the iPod, you set a playlist to play. The clock radio will just turn on.
Hmm, the more I think, the less I think you have the iHome, as the dock on it is more about power and audio. You can still control the pod via click wheel. Most curious.

No, this is not the iHome, it's a cheaper knockoff--but in theory, should still be able to control the ipod via the wheel (I don't have a clickwheel though--four buttons, it's that old) or via a little remote they included.

It may also be a crazy issue with my iPod--I couldn't get it to work with the FM transmitter either, for some crazy reason. It plays music fine, and it charges with the firewire cord fine, so....who knows.

All is well that ends in pizza.

That's awesome, Daniel. I suppose the next step is to write software to control the temperature...

Ha! I saw it over in Bitches, but I'm glad you reposted so that I could squee properly over it here. That totally rocks. It's such a geek thing to do. They were just sitting around one day thinking, I wish I didn't have to leave the computer to cook. You can do everything else through USB. Hey, I bet you could...
