I formatted my iPod recently and noticed that Songbird still thought the Library had media on it. Loading up a factory restore didn’t help. To clear the iPod cache here is the location: In the profiles directory you will see a db folder. Remove all iPod* folders and restart Songbird.

When I don’t get a chance to ride my motorcycle I get cranky and irritable, but when I don’t know where my computer is…death to all. The only thing that exceeds my love of Mac is my love of Linux.

The one extra step to get it running is to as root ln -s /var/lib/libreadline.so.5 /var/lib/libreadline.so.4 Have fun! sheepshaver_23-13_i386.deb
You took the bite, you bought two Macs. It is a dirty feeling that you can’t wash off as you had the fact you now I contemplating purchasing a Steve Jobs black turtleneck sweater. One thing ol’ Steve hasn’t given us Mac Geeks yet is a central server. We are disposed to store things in one mac and hope for the best. You, the reader, are in luck as this geek isn’t the garden bred Mac type, but rather a UNIX type. With a little command line voodoo we will centrally locate those libraries. ...
