ibook g4 + FW400

[Mr_Brightside_@]

hi i know that my old ibook g3s fw port didnt charge my ipod when it was asleep; my new g4 12 1.33 sez it is charging my ipod but the other day my ipod died when it still had some chartge left. does this mean that its simply dead or it is not in fact being charged while asleep, and only when awake? thankx. ruby, don't take your love to town

I think it only charges when the iBook is running from the mains power, not the battery, but I could be wrong. 😱

yeah, but it is plugged in- it's usually a desktop situation...
