this is a dumb question... but in iTunes, after i have ejected the ipod, how do i "reconnect" it? what i'm doing now is, i unplug and plug back the USB connector. but there's gotta an easy way to do it, right?
Good point.sevenhelmet said:I don't think there is any way to do it. When you "eject" a disk by dragging it to the trash or pushing the eject button on the screen, you essentially tell OSX to not recognize that disk anymore- so when you unplug it, OS doesn't care. When you plug it in, OS says "Oh, a new disk!" and the disk pops back up on your desktop.
Unless you're really good at system programming, I don't see any workaround that isn't going to take a lot of time and effort. Here's to the days when computers require zero muscular effort, but those days have yet to exist!
hmmm, i never thought about it that way. oh well, it's good to know that i'm not the only one having this "problem" then.sevenhelmet said:I don't think there is any way to do it.
