Yes, they worked fine -- even yesterday while charging the ipod. But
when we went to transfer the music to the ipod they didn't work, and

into it and it seemed that the only usb things that were disabled were
the mouse and keyboard usb's (although both of those are working fine)
so I enabled them. Still nothing.
