A one-keystroke iPod eject script
I understand this keeping your iPod connected to a sleeping Mac is one sure fire way to destroy the battery. Or at least, the sleeping mac drains the iPod, and adds useless charging cycles to the iPod, rendering the battery prematurely weak. So poppin' your Pod out of the dock before sleeping would be the best course of action.

Keeping an iPod plugged into a sleeping Mac will drain the battery! I only connect mine to the computer when I update it. Otherwise I use the power adaptor with an extra cable for charging. That way I just unplug it in the morning and go! If I left it connected to my G4 I'd either have to leave the computer running all night, or wake it in the morning, which would both kill the battery and wake my wife! (since the Mac's in our bedroom).. and leaving the computer running all night is just a waste of energy and dumb.

I haven't had any problem with it on my Powerbook, but then the Powerbook is usually left plugged in to charge even when sleeping. |
