- the link got stuck in an endless reloading loop when I loaded the page. the post never showed.

It's like Apple's a club with their own computers, web page types and browsers. If you aren't with them then they don't want any part of ya. ]]>Dec 31st 2006 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/
JSPA is an initialism for Java Specification Participation Agreement, a Java community process. The code is not Apple-centric. Your problem mostly likely occured when you loaded the broken page that Engadget originally posted. As to why a .NET developer has never heard of Java is the really mystery hear.

BTW, Apple does have it's own web development tools called WebObjects.

Loads fine with Opera on Win32, an obviously non-Apple browser. Kudos to Apple if they don't expend effort to work around well known and still unfixed IE bugs.

Yes, but the primary purpose of your 9600 XT isn't to produce sound. That makes its whining a side-effect. The primary purpose of an iPod is to produce sound. That makes its whining a problem. The equivalent would be if your 9600 XT had a noisy picture.]]>Dec 31st 2006 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/Dec 31st 2006 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/Dec 31st 2006 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/Jan 2nd 2007 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/

Sorry

I bought an 8GB model within a week after they were released and noticed the whining sound, checked the forums and saw that it was pretty common. I never really thought too much of it because I hardly notice it, but this is definitely not a new problem.

Been an issue since the release of the Nanos as well as a similar problem with blank white screens showing up on power-on, which seemed to be fixed after I upgraded my firmware.]]>Dec 31st 2006 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/

However, after closely examining my own 2GB Nano that I got as an Xmas Bonus (Thanks, Canon!) there *is* a very faint whine from the unit, even with the backlight off. I think it's something in the power supply portion of the device myself. It's likely only to be noticible by folks who are extra-sensitive to high frequency sounds.

In reality though, this is a non-issue. The real source of the problem is the volume-limiter in the device. Disable it, crank the tunes a bit louder for a while, and you'll either A) stop complaining about the whining because you'll hear it constantly for the rest of your life, or B) Never hear the whining or any other high-pitched noise ever again.]]>Dec 31st 2006 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/]]>Dec 31st 2006 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/Dec 31st 2006 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/ipod-owners-report-whining-sound-emanating-from-2g-nanos/
