By any chance, does the iPod go unavailable when the LaCie drive goes into a power-saving mode (after a period of idle time)? I seem to remember reading that some drives have this problem - where the pass-through port becomes inactive whenever the drive is asleep. See if the iPod works when hooked directly up to the Mac. If it has no problems in that situation, you might want to consider a FireWire hub instead of the external drive's pass-through port. -- David
