I wrote earlier that an iPod Mini failed to just work, straight out of the box. Thanks to Chris Slothouber‘s suggestion, it now works fine with an additional firewire cable.
It’s still very annoying to have to fork out $$ (and a lot of $$, too) for an extra cable that should have been in the box.
Glad I was able to help…
I agree that the cable should’ve been included, or at least it made more clear that without a certain system software version, the USB 2.0 interface would be unavailable.
Hope you’re enjoying the Mini nonetheless!
