Ipod and Ichat Questions....


Recommended Posts

Hey does anyone know why iChat shows up as black on black to anyone i send a message to that isnt using iChat? I tried changing my text and ballon colors but no change on their end. I remember this same thing happening when I used to use jaguar. I had them try both trillian, and aol's client for windows.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Is there a way to store your music on your ipod, and play from there so it doesnt use up space on the pod, and your hd? If so, when you import from a cd on your system can you have it upload straight to your ipod? Is it possible to sync an ipod with 2 different apples?

You might want to try downloading the official AOL client and touching base on what it says your preferences are for sending text. It could be a long time ago you used that setting on AIM and that might be a setting that is saved as a preference on their server. I talk to many people using the windows AIM client via iChat and they say my text appears just black characters and no highlight color. So something is definitely not right there.

About the iPod, you are talking about using it as a Jukebox. I did this very thing for the first 6 months I had my iPod to save hard drive space. The setting you are looking for is in the iTunes/iPod preference panel. Connect your iPod, then with it selected in the library column, look at the bottom right and it should be one of the buttons. Select the option that resembles "manually handle music on iPod" instead of automatic. This will unlock the iPod selection in iTunes and allow you to have two different libraries. Then, in your iTunes library, simply delete your whole library. Everything will be left on your iPod. Far as CD importing however, you are left with importing it to your hard drive. I actually preferred this though, because it then only showed that one album in my library, I could change the tag, load album art and make sure everything was perfect before I transfered it over to my iPod. I would then simply drag all the songs to the iPod, let it update, then delete them from the library and hard drive. Takes 2 seconds.
