  • We're going to need more details: What web site are downloading from? Please give an example. Does it only occur from that web site or from any web site? Does only Safari turn black? Or does the entire OS X screen? Can you force quit Safari wh…

  • Not being able to access the iPod has nothing to do with a flash based hard drive. You can't access the file's thru Terminal because the iPod isn't a server of any sort. If you want to access the iPod this way, you'll have to first jailbreak t…

  • It's possible that you're seeing a SCSI version of the hard drive icon because your eSATA card is emulating SCSI. Your Mac "sees" a SCSI hard drive so it gives it that default icon. If all you're wanting to do it change the icon, why not just Get…

  • You're trying to do things Mac OS X just isn't designed to do. First, you cannot run 2 separate accounts at once. You touched on this: only one mouse and one keyboard can be active at once. A Mac is a single-user workstation. One user at a time. …

    in iPod nano freeze problem Comment by tarl April 2008
  • When my battery is low (really low-- weeks of no use) I need to let the iPod charge for an hour or so before things start working correctly. Maybe you don't need to reset it. Try waiting it out.

  • USB and video don't mix. I know they sell products based around USB, but I don't think any of them provide good results. I would recomend a Digital camcorder with analog inputs and a firewire port. It's way above your budget, but maybe you can bo…
