It is doing an update. You need an ipod wall wart (a cube thing that either has a female firewire or usb jack which you plug your ipod cable into). It somehow detects whether you are plugged into computer or wall. It will only complete the update if you plug it into the wall.

I dont think it would make a difference if it were an apple power adapter or an aftermarket one- as long as its a power only solution. I guess that would rule out any connection that could transfer songs while charging at the same time.
I had this problem before and tried to plug in to computer and disable itunes drivers so all the usb port did was supply power, but no go- i really had to have an actual apple power brick ![]() The crap sells for 30 bucks nowadays. Probably a way of making people buy the adapter when the time for software update comes. The ipod photo I got back in the days came with the power brick, a dock, av cables, and both firewire and usb cables All that would cost like 150 bucks nowadays Try seeing if anyone you know has an ipod power brick.so yea basically... this or these aftermarket types

I use some cheap third party one that works sometimes (have to try plugging the USB in a few times), but when it works it works. It was the best rated third party one on amazon and cost like $10. And the cable that comes with it does USB file transfers too.

I had to go buy one after I restored my iPod photo last month ( first time in, gods, probably since I bought it ) and of course, no longer could place the original firewire mains brick.
I couldn't find a way around it. Cost me £13 IIRC for the newer more compact Apple USB mains plug adapter thingie. The biggest pain in the arse was having to walk round to argos without being able to listen to my iPod.

Yeah it is plugged into the wall and I tried different sockets. It still shows the power brick picture on the ipod. |

are you sure you have the power connector in the correct socket? when i first got it, i had plugged the power connector into the line out, accidentally, and was befuddled until i noticed...

I prefer the way I read the title.
Just take the ipod, put it on a fence, and keep shooting til you hit it.

I could probably get one at 300 yards with an AR15, or at 500 yards with my deer rifle. With a pistol it'd probably be 25 yards max.
