I mean deleting the affected songs from your ipod, and then letting itunes put them back for you.

This was happening to me the other day on my 40gb b&w iPod (4th generation?). Re-syncing those songs with itunes fixed it. I actually wiped it and reloaded the lot just in case there were any other...

Well, aside from software update and calling Apple, I really have no idea what you could try next. Surely someone else out there knows how to solve this? Come on guys!

I agree. Well, if it's fine when it's ignoring the trackpad, at least you know where the problem lies. Could give Apple a call?

Okay, so we have the Power Mac G5 & iMac G5. Anyone fancy some speculation on the new name Apple will invent? The Power Mac name is good... it's just that G5 bit - might need a bit of a tweak in...

I imagine the insides of the new Macs to be very similar to the current models, minus the shiny "G5" etchings on the cooler though! They'll still use their own motherboards and components. It'd be...

I'd go for it. I personally did an erase and install just to be safe, but if you must upgrade, then i'd say do it from 10.3.9.

oo oo what happens when you use the volume keys? Does the volume thingy come up, in the same way the brightness thingy used to? Maybe the software that drives these shortcuts has fallen over.
