painfully slow USB "2.0"

[Sic]

my transfer rates on USB are really really slow.it's quite embarassing to witness. i think they are travelling at USB 1 speeds. is there anything i can do to see if i've got a problem? it takes like 5 minutes to put 20 tracks on my nano...that must be wrong, they're not massive tracks.

any help would be great

cheers

Is this on your PowerBook G4? Is it the same with all ports? Could you try the iPod on a different computer?

yeah it's on the PB G4. both ports. tried on a windoze PC and it's lightning fast.it's not just my nano. when i use my hard drive on USB it's slow, as is my flash memory

Try resetting PRAM and if that doesn't work, try resetting the PMU.

thank you.i'll try that in the morning
