Ipod vs MP3 player

<< < (2/3) > >>

OK.... I have a question about charging it and whatnot...

How long should it take to charge with the USB the first time and each time there after?

I've had this thing plugged in since about 3, it is 11 now and it is still not charged.  I don't know if it is because I'm using this ancient desktop or what, but I think everytime the computer hibernates the power to the USB is shutting off and its not charging.  I left about 3:30 got home at 6:30 and no lights were on.  Once I got the pc back from sleeping it went to an orange light.  At some point, probably around 8:30 I went to watch tv, then fell asleep, and came back at 11 and the light is off again.

I sure hope my laptop parts get here tomorrow and I'm back up and running soon.

Bonibelle:
Does your ancient desktop have a USB 1 or USB 2..I think that will affect the speed that the Ipod can charge up.  :-/

mattNY:
USB 1 vs. 2 won't affect the charging time, just the transfer speed - USB 2.0 is 40x faster than 1.1.  However, the iPod won't charge if the PC is hibernating since it's essentially turned off.  Make sure your PC is on and non-hibernating for a while and it should charge fine (like when you're posting here ;)).

Brookenstein:
We turned off hibernation at 8am and now 12 hours later I'm still not charged.   :-/

Chas:
I don't know about the charging - I got mine already charged, and it only took a couple of hours to top it off. I have never really seen it take longer than that, even when I let the battery go real low.

I have a Nano.

As to your damaged CDs, you still 'own' them. If you could borrow them from a friend and load them, or even check them out of the public library, you could load them onto your Itunes and not be breaking any laws. You have the discs, you just cant access them.

Have you tried a CD cleaning machine?

I got one for a DVD, and it helped some. Didn't really cure it completely, but it made it better.
