Yesterday I routinely plugged my 4GB iPod Mini into my PowerBook. Shortly after plugging it in, I see an iPod update box saying that the ipod “Extras@Work” needed the 11-25-2005 (or some date in Nov.) update. I scratched my head thinking “I’ve plugged my iPod in since November”. Then I realized “Extras@Work” was a partition on a FireWire hard drive that was plugged in at the time I plugged in my mini. I unplugged everything and then plugged the mini back in and things were fine. The lingering side effect is that the icon for my “Extras@Work” partition is now a silver iPod mini. Silly bugs.

The fix was to “Get Info” on both my FireWire partitions (one good icon, one iPod), select the FW drive icon in the upper left from the good one, copy it and then select the little iPod icon on the defunct window and paste it over it. All better.
