How to Turn Your Old iPod Into a Newish External Hard Drive
An exercise in the trial-and-error method, by [info]sockherder.

1. Remember that you own an older model iPod with video, after you find it in one of your desk drawers.

2. Hook it up to your computer.

3. Watch the iPod reboot itself eleventy billion times because it's been in your desk for at least six months and it can't get up enough juice through your USB connection to actually start charging.

4. There is no 4.

5. Attempt to format. Fail... )

Apparently it's unwise to use a recycled iPod as your primary external, as the drive was not meant for that type of prolonged, extensive use. However, from what I read it's perfectly fine to use it as a backup drive.

And in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.


HAPPY 2009!

Hey, it's true in Europe already, anyway. *wanders off in congested haze*

[ETA] Am now wearing pajama pants over my jeans, 'cause my TV room is cold and [info]fiayrenne and [info]dysisreynne are coming over for... something involving Canadians and high school. Not sure what.
