Cooling an overheating iPod
Authored by: mm2270 on Oct 30, '06 12:46:36PM

Yes, that's true, but chances are it will only stay spinned down if you're not doing a whole lot with your Mac. Try letting the disk spin down and then do an "Open…" command in any app, and watch it spin up. The Finder will queue any attached disks to spin up, including iPods in disk mode, when it thinks you may need to access them.

In any case, I've noticed my iPod stay a bit cooler when charging it and not having it mounted on the Desktop as opposed to having it mounted. YMMV.
