Installing Jaguar on iPod disables audible.com files
Aug 08, '03 10:35:00AM • Contributed by: ratboy23
I installed Jaguar (10.2.6) on my iPod today so I could use it to image multiple machines, and after doing so, I discovered that I could not listen to any of the files I had purchased from Audible.com. I simply plugged in the iPod and re-copied them from iTunes and all is well again. I have no idea what exactly causes this, but I thought I'd share it just in case anybody who happens to be an Audible.com subscriber has plans to turn their iPod into a mobile utility drive.

Installing Jaguar on iPod disables audible.com files
I'm just guessing here, but don't iPods usually have the "Ignore ownership on this volume" attribute set to true? I suspect that installing Jaguar would un-set that attribute, and that may affect the way that Audible files are decoded for playback. Just speculating.

I often have the same issue come up after I plug my iPod into any system running OS 9. If their iTunes launches, it messes up my Audible files. I need to re-copy them.
Installing Jaguar on iPod disables audible.com files
I have had the same problem. I found that if restore the iPod then manage my iPod manually, my audible files work fine. If I use Automatic update my audible files stop working. I figured this out when my wifes ipod was playing audible files fine and mine had stopped working. She manually managed her iPod (she has way to many mp3s), and I was automatically managing my iPod.
Installing Jaguar on iPod disables audible.com files
The Audible files on my 15GB iPod stop working from time to time as well. And I've never installed a Mac OS on it. I'm running 10.2.6 on my 800 FP iMac, managing my iPod manually, and still have to occasionally recopy Audible files to the iPod. I suppose we should mention it to Audible and/or Apple. But it's never been too big of an issue for me. Well, except for trying to remember where I left off listening. A bookmark feature would be nice. Or is there one of which I am woefully unaware? |
