Huh. I got an iTrip on Saturday, plugged it into my iPod, threw the whole thing into the dock, and POW: my new PC rebooted, and when it came up, Windows was complaining about drive integrity. iTunes wouldn’t recognize it after that, and it claimed to have no music on it any more. I was ready to blame Cratchit’s shoddy PC building, but it turns out a few other people have had that problem. With minis, not grown-up iPods, and only, y’know, two, but I wonder if there’s not something about PCs and the power going through the firewire jack. iTrip is supposed to be kind of a power hog.
I resynced everything and am happy again. Plus, in all the fuss, I set all of the BIOS stuff back to defaults, and the computer is running a lot more happily. I played Half-Life 2 until my eyes got dry and I needed to check some sort of walk-through, and not until it locked up or rebooted on me. I like that.
How far are you in Half-Life 2?
Crat gave you a computer that plays HL2? Nice. I haven’t played for a couple of months. School.
Airboat chapter. I was outsmarting myself last night and spent 45 minutes walking around. Shouldn’t do that.
I haven’t had any problems with my iTrip. In fact, my iPod is used almost exclusively with it (excluding trips on a plane or a bike). The setup was kind of wonky, with it trying to install (read: requiring) some retarded “jukebox” program to work initially, but once I found the mp3′s to tune the iTrip and imported them to iTunes it worked like a charm.
It also worked well with Brendan’s iPod when we drove down to Kentuky to get my motorcycle.
I’m at the airboat stuff, too. I’m not stuck, I just haven’t had time. Is there about 7,000 more hours of gameplay left? Niiiice.
No, the iTrip is great. The sound is better than two other radio transmitters I’ve used, but those had their own power sources. Have you docked the iPod, with the iTrip attached? I think that might be the problem, and if that’s an issue, that’s fine: I just won’t do it.
yeah to be honest thats why you dont get an ipod they are gay.. creative has been in the buisness alot longer and make more solid products… the best is the zen touch better than the ipod…only down fall no games tfb if i wanted black and white basic games id get a game boy pocket but that has more resolutiion for less price… now to address the ipod photo, where is the buit in lense… oh wait on my phone… heres a question for you how long is your warrenty and how much did you pay for it comined with your ipod… answer too much… my zen $300 warrenty $15 the fact that it has twice as much memory priceless… douches
