Hey I'm upgrading to Leopard tomorrow (good grades! =) ) and I was wondering, can I upgrade to leopard and keep every single one of my files on my computer?
FOr Time machine, can I use my iPod in Disk mode as an external drive?
-

Yes to the first question, no idea on the second...
-
I was doing a google search earlier and in some other forum it was pretty much decided you can not use the ipod's to install the OS from, but other USB sources you can.
-
I'm not trying to install the OS on the iPod to boot from it. I'm wondering if I can use my iPod as an external drive for Time Machine.
Sam, what would I click to just upgrade the OS but not overwrite the files? Is there something called like "upgrade"? lol I know that sounds retarded but it's hard to word... -
-
then i am wrong lol
-
lol does anyone know if an iPod in disk mode can act as an external drive for Time Machine?
-
I don't see why it shouldn't work.
-
On a side note, I think someone talked about booting a Time Machine image. Time Machine's images are not bootable, another strike against it. -
Time machine drives can only be used as time machine drives if I recall correctly. So that means you could no longer use your iPod to listen to music if it was being used for Time Machine.
I just did an Archive and Install this morning, it took about 30 minutes. All my files and preferences were preserved, and now I'm on a shiny install of Leopard! -

Can someone confirm this? I just bought a 500Gb drive for backups, I would not want to give the whole thing over to time machine if I got Leopard... -
