iOS 11.2 update on the iPad9.7 (5th gen) is 348.9 MB.
@kdfrawg With my 2008 MBP I lost two tiny screws when I bumped the container holding them. I later discovered the screws that hold a 2.5-in HD together are the same length & thread, the only difference being they have a torx drive head instead of a Phillips head.

@matigo The shuffle & repeat buttons are hidden in a less than obvious place and repeat each track had been selected previously.
I had trouble with my iPod Touch playing in the car today: it kept repeating each song, I had to manually advance each track & you can’t do that without taking your eyes off the road. Dangerous! Mr Google told me how to fix it & now all is well.
@indigo I have a 2008 pre-Unibody 15-in MacBook Pro. That’s kept at my mother’s place. It needed a new battery so I got one for $44, this lasted four whole charge cycles before the system started insisting that I “service the battery.”
Which I did with a $75 battery from another supplier. That was much better, it behaves like a proper battery.
A decent new battery, installation of 6 GB of RAM and a 240 GB SSD make that machine quite effective.
Batteries don’t have to cost the earth to work.

Now for a cuppa. Chamomile & rosehip, with a touch of Vimto flavouring syrup to cool down the mix. It’s no substitute for tea, of course, but there’s no sleep and throat-affecting caffeine.
Mum’s car, being 21 years old, lacks a bit in the entertainment department. It has an AM/FM radio & cassette unit. In the glovebox there’s a tape-shaped audio in device that plugs into the headphone port of a portable audio device. The signal gets converted into a magnetic form aimed at the cassette deck’s playing head.
I can use the iPod Touch or the old MiniDisc player/recorder as the music source.
I had a spare mobile phone mounting bracket so that’s been fitted and the iPhone hooks up to a visor-mounted Bluetooth hands-free unit.
I put the iPhone into Do Not Disturb while driving enabled and use the Bluetooth device to do the enabling. That’s quite satisfactory.
That feels better. I haz had food. Now a cup of some herbal infusion to aid sleep.
