Just a quickie today.<\/p>\n

I went to play music on my iPod but discovered it needed charging. I’m at work so I don’t have iTunes installed but I do have my cable. I wanted to charge my iPod and listen to music from it. So here is what I had to do.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Connect the iPod to the PC via the cable<\/li>\n
  2. Go to Explorer and find the iPod. It was listed as removable storeage device<\/li>\n
  3. Right-click on the drive icon and select ‘Eject’<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The iPod should shortly stop displaying the ‘Do not disconnect’ warning and return to the main menu.<\/p>\n

    If you simply select ‘Safely Remove Hardware’ from the tooltray icon you’ll get the iPod menu back but it’ll not continue charging.<\/p>\n

    I did this with my Mac formatted iPod on a Windows XP machine. I expect that PC formatted iPods will behave the same way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
