Hi Guys
As my name on here suggests, I've got myself into another issue :shock:
I've been after an MP3 player for a while to use at the gym and on the go, so today after approx 2 seconds deliberation I bought an Apple iPOD mini.
The bloke in the store gave me the details and calmly said " It'll charge up from the usb lead while it's downloading the music from the PC."
Now here's the bit that wound me up!!!
I got home and opened the box to find that I need a USB 2.0 port......and not a normal one at that....it needs to be a high power port!!!:censored:
My laptop has plain old USB 1.1 so thats that taken a nose dive!
The book also says I can use a firewire port, but it says it must be a powered 6 pin port.
Now my main PC is old now and has usb 1 but it does have a firewire card I use with my DV camcorder......how do I tell if it's powered?
The other cruddy bit of the deal is that I need to spend MORE money on the firewire lead :angryfire
Next time i see that sales guy, it's :nunu: time.
Anyone else on here had experience with ipods and old pc's?
