Updating software on my iMac…
Jen got me a brand spankin’ new iPod Shuffle as a b-day/graduation gift. I love my cousin!!!!! I took it out for a run on Monday morning. It sounded awesome and it only stopped playing once. With my old mini-disc recorder - it stopped all the time. I suppose the ole’ girl didn’t like the jostling of my morning jog.
The night before - I ran into a little problem with it being recognized on myiMac. It’s a G3, 600 MHZ and running OS 10.2.8. According to the specs on the packaging - I had everything necessary to rock’n'roll with this mp3 device. But my iMac refused to recognize the Shuffle when connected to any of the USB ports. Grrr. I saw in the instructions - which you get after buying the Shuffle and opening up the packaging - that to work with 10.2.8 - you need a HIGH-SPEED USB port. What the fuck! Talk about misleading. So, folks don’t realize you need a specific type of USB port until after they buy the Apple product and crack it out of the box. No, really, what the fuck! So, I managed to charge up the Shuffle on Mark’s PC laptop. That’s ironic. He kindly listened to me vent and rage against Apple.
