Hi, a friend at work has been given an IBM Thinkpad running Windows XP which is fairly old. I'm not sure of the exact model number at the moment. Anyway, all the usb ports on it are USB 1.0 which means that when she plugs her ipod in it doesnt work properly.
She has now purchased a usb2 pcmcia card hoping that this would solve the problem and it doesnt. The card is working as it seems to be charging the ipod when it is plugged in to it, but it wont sync properly with itunes still. Even when the card is being powered by an external adapter it still doesnt work!
We know it isnt the ipod as it works fine on my desktop, and it isn't the card, as we have tried several and none of them work properly with the ipod! Does anyone know a fix for this?
