When I had my (sadly preventable) external hard drive crash, I was able to get all the music content off my iPod using a utility program called Senuti (iTunes backward!) -- it opened the iPod as an external drive, so that the song files and their markup tags could be accessed. That was on a Mac, so it should be applicable to your situation!

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!

Does anyone have any idea how secure an iPhone wireless connection is? Assuming that you're not using an open wireless connection, is it safe to do private transactions like banking? I mean, I'm thinking that it's no different from me using my secure wireless network in my house, but I thought I'd check.

I wouldn't bank over an iPhone, but I have no idea how rooted in reality that paranoia is.
ION, does anyone know if there's a PPC-supported version of Chrome for OSX yet? Crossover Chromium is Intel-only and Google's still dragging their heels.

Lori, I know how to transfer music from an iPod to a Windows computer, but not for a Mac. this page suggests from free software: [link]

I doubt there ever will be. It would have to have a PPC version of their V8 JavaScript engine. Right now it only supports Intel and ARM.

Theo - thanks!
Now I'm in search of a freeware app that will let me pull some photos off my ipod. I haven't yet resorted to paying for an app that will do that, but might eventually.

Lori, did you search at Versiontracker.com? Links to and user reviews of all kinds of software/freeware/shareware, etc. for the Mac (and, IIRC, other systems): [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
