At a user group meeting last week a question was asked that nobody could answer. The user was not, shall we say, knowledgeable about version and model numbers and the like but it went like this:
Highly interpreted sort of a quote begins. I hooked my iPod to my new iMac running Lion as delivered. Some things may have happened that were associated somehow with an automatic software update. But after that I was severely unhappy with the performance of the old iPod on the new Mac. I gave up and decided to just use the iPod on my G4 and I don't know if that's using OS 9 or OS 10.x. The iPod wouldn't work at all! Did using the iPod on Lion ruin it so that it can never be returned to its original mode of service? We didn't have a decent answer at the meeting. Some talked about resetting the iPod by allowing its battery to completely discharge. Everyone thought there must be a way to reset to factory firmware but nobody could come up with a method. She went home thinking the iPod was just dead and the only solution was to discard it and find something else. Her collection of tunes was on the G4. I remain depressed. I donno about her. Has anyone here experienced anything similar? -- 1801 - Joseph Marie Jacquard uses punch cards to instruct a loom to weave "hello, world" into a tapestry. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
