o i saw that shit on the apple website, it said upgrade your software or some shit like that to prevent your battery from going away so fast, or something around that area..

You get iPod firmware upgrades, as well as the iPod Updater Utility (for formatting the iPod), from www.ipodlounge.com

However right now I don't think there are any 4G firmware upgrades out there besides the one that cuts down the volume abilities to meet European FCC-type regulations.

DON'T try and upgrade a 4G iPod with 3G firmware. You can risk permanently damaging the iPod. Firmware is NOT the same as the little OS-type iPod interface. Firmware is what makes the hardware do what the hardware does - the OS-type interface makes the hardware interact with the user.

Unless there is a firmware upgrade you NEED (e.g. you need to upgrade because your particular logic board has a flaw that keeps the battery from charging anymore), it's not really a good idea to do it.

True, messing with firmware can fuck your shit, literally. It's never happened to me(and i change my DVD+RW's firmware from time to time to get more media support) but i know a friend who damaged his dvd recorder because power went out while he was upgrading...if only he had an UPS ;)

firmware is not to be upgraded unless you know what you are doing or if there is a problem with what ever you are using. Like I flashed my dvd burner to a model that supports duallayer burning eventhough mine doesn't support it...I ran the risk of breaking the thing but I succeeded...


hahahahahahahahaha, I'm as straight as an arrow but i think his/her sig is great...makes all the homophobic close minded meatheads worried about their sexuality...if you are comfortable with your self you won't worry about that!

Let me say about that sig pic PUKE. How disgusting.

Anyway, your iPod doesn't need updating right now. Just check Apple's iPod Web page every now. It will give you directions on how to update the firmware when needed.

That' they are naked and hugging..that's not attractive.. one should be holding a football in the 3 point stance to be manly.
