Charge FireWire iPods on sleeping Macs
Authored by: PCheese on Mar 07, '06 10:21:53PM

This comments and notes to this hint are somewhat incorrect. On some sleeping Macs, iPods will charge over FireWire... but the same is true for USB. In fact, the iPod manual mentions this fact. The key word is "some".

My 5G iPod charges overnight through USB while my iSight iMac G5 is sleeping.

(Un)plugging the USB while the Mac is asleep causes it to wake up, however.
