How do I reset the display language for my iPod if I can't read the language I accidentally selected?
1. Push Menu repeatedly until the main menu appears.
2. Select the fourth menu item (Settings).
3. Select the last menu item (Reset All Settings).
4. Select the second menu item (Reset) and select a language.
However, this won't work if you've added or deleted items from the main menu (since "Settings" will be in a different position than they say). If that is the case, you might just try blindly selecting some things and seeing if you can find the right option. If that fails, you'll probably have to restore your iPod to the factory state by using the latest iPod updater software. This will reset all your menus and also delete your music from the iPod, so you will have to sync again with iTunes.
Can the new iPods (iPod nano and iPod with video) be used with a firewire connection?
No. Apple has removed firewire as an option for the latest generation of iPods. They use only USB. However, the new iPods will still charge using firewire, so you can charge them using a firewire connection to your computer and you can still make use of any old firewire chargers that you might have around.
I don't have USB 2 on my computer. Can I still use the new iPods?
Yes, but there are some things you need to keep in mind. First of all, if you have a computer that is expandable (such as a PowerMac or a PowerBook with a PC-card slot) then your best bet is to just buy a USB 2 card. They aren't particularly expensive.
If you have an unexpandable computer like an eMac, iMac, iBook or 12" PowerBook, then your only option is to use the much slower USB 1.1 interface. Using USB 1.1, it would take many many hours to completely fill an iPod. However, if you don't plan to do a lot of adding or changing of the music on your iPod, you could just leave it for a day or so for the initial sync. Subsequent syncs will be a lot shorter, but still much longer than it would take with USB 2. It's not exactly an ideal situation, but it is a workaround for those people who don't have USB 2 and can't upgrade their computers.
How do I copy music from my iPod to my computer?
Apple doesn't allow you to copy music from your iPod to your computer using iTunes or the finder (or Windows explorer). This is apparently because this would make it too easy for people to share music. Luckily, there are many third-party shareware out there designed to get around this limitation, for example, Lenogo iPod to PC Transfer, Tansee iPod Transfer. So if your computer has gone belly up and you need to reconstruct your music library from what it is on your iPod, you are in luck.
