i got an ipod mini and it is frustrating me

i have win2000 with itunes and updater with a usb cable (no usb 2) it transfers just fine and charges... so buy a new card. if you buy from best buy you can return it within x days if you want for any reason.

i'm thinking about getting a usb 2 card from best buy tomorrow, actually. i just need to check if i have a free pci slot. (s'pose i could take the firewire card out if i had to.. doesn't seem to be doing me much good)

can you return a part at best buy even if you've installed it in your machine? because if this ipod business still won't straighten out, then it's probably not my hardware's fault, and i won't really want to keep that usb 2 card, heh.

installed usb 2 card, restored ipod using usb, and itunes managed to update my ipod without fail. there was only 24 songs in the itunes library, but still.. i think we might be in business here!

stupid apple and their overpriced junk.. (very nifty overpriced junk, mind you)

good good. to answer your question about the return policy ill answer it the same as i do with every customer who asks me. "im warehouse."... but to be more kind yeah you can still return it, just double check with cust. service before you buy (in this case too late and doesnt matter) to make sure they have the same store policy.

After all the horror stories of iPods, I just never plan on touching one, personal preference I guess, but, works good for ya? I need to find all the stuff for my nomad jukebox and reload all my songs on it...rather update it, I think it's a 40gb, forget, and I still have under 40gb of songs, so I can just load my entire library on it. Maybe get a cd player fm transmitter so I can throw it in the car for when XM bores me.

my iPod hasn't been recognized by my PC for a few weeks now... it was able to see my friend's pod... same model/size... gonna try a restore/format from my dad's computer.
