Ipod Doctors Come to your Ipod’s Rescue

November 26th, 2008
Your iPod has been your constant companion for years already. But at present, your iPod seemed to have fallen ill and would not work just right. You think it may be something with the iPod docks and cables but you are no expert when it comes to things like this.

Is it now time to purchase a new iPod?

Well, not quite. You see, when there is something ailing, there is a caregiver or a doctor. And for the iPod, there are already doctors that do their stuff to bring back the vigor that these portable media players have got. And Demetrios Leontaris is one of these iPod miracle workers and he has already got quite a number of patients which he had successfully restored back to health. Although there are some which simply would not respond and could not be resuscitated.

Interestingly, Leontaris still has got a photograph of one of those quite unsuccessful iPod operations. The patient was an iPod Nano and it was quite damaged because it fell from the car. According to the iPod doctor, the iPod Nano still was playing its media files however the casing was badly damaged that if attempted to repair it, the device would have broken and it would not play – at all.

Leontaris is not the only iPod doctor in town. There are already quite a few number of these new professionals popping up on the streets but also online. You can use your favorite search engine and find a good iPod doctor. Chances are, you would be having quite a number of choices on whom to call for help.

You see, these iPod doctors came into being as part of the cottage industry which actually works on keeping the iPod gadgets including iPod Mini Accessories healthy and full of spunk after getting sick. But these doctors are saying that such gadgets do take a turn for the worse mostly by mistreatment and not usually because of accidents.

iPodmods.com is one website where you can find information on the iPod doctor Aaron Vronko. And upon speaking with Vronko, he was amused to recall the kinds of fate of iPods that he had seen and had encountered. He says there were some iPods which have been whirling around with the dirty clothes in soapy water in the washing machine. There were also those iPods which have gone through really hard slams when a car door was closed. Another got melted down when it was left much too close to a light bulb that has been on for hours. Vronko also did mention that one of the best that he had seen were those iPods which have become chew toys for those adorable doggies.

According to these iPod doctors, they could stay in business as long as the current trend continues. You see, Apple, the creator of these phenomenal iPods, has got the gadgets under warranty for only a year. However, as part of the clauses of the warranty, they would give the gadget free services, repairs, or replacements if the iPods got damaged if it is quite clear that the cause was not by mistreatment of the player. If the screen is cracked or if it looks like the iPod was dropped, then say goodbye to your warranty. Now if you have kept your iPod safe and secure for a year, which is the period that Apple gives to its iPods, you can extend that coverage for another year but you would have to shell out some cash to do so.

As for the iPod doctors, there is not much that they cannot handle when it comes to healing the ailing iPods. In fact, Leontaris just needs his SUV which he has turned into a workshop on wheels. He drives to his customers’ location and they get a chance to take a look at the iPod doctor’s hand doing wonders on their favorite gadgets.

New Ipod Games

November 26th, 2008
I can’t say for sure when I know I was bitten but I have the date on my receipts (11/15/06). I guess I was late to the iPod party but I’ve not missed a step since I got involved with “Buck,” my iPod.

I’ve got 3 now, one just for movies, and another for music and one for data and I’m negotiating with a contact in China for 5 more.

iPod is the brain child of Steven Jobs, Apple guru and all around genius. More than 22 million ipods have been sold to US adults, which amounts to approximately 11% of the population (according to the non-profit Pew Internet & American Life Project). I became a fan and user and my addiction continues to grow stronger.

Now I spend my days learning about new applications and my nights surfing for clearance sales, closeouts, underground sources for discounts on accessories. For example, last week I found a site that sells what they call an iPod Converter.

This unit allows for unlimited downloads of movies and music and games and software and provides a lifetime membership in their download club. As a full blown movie nut this little handful of technology is gobbling up my free time by the hour.

Talk about addiction, I was rummaging through some magazines in the basement of the library at midnight (don’t ask) and found this underground techie magazine. There was a story about an MP3 converter that took me a few minutes to realize was the iPod converter I heard about last week.

The techie manual indicated this is better than Blockbuster and NetFlicks all rolled into one very user friendly palm-sized unit. I’ll share the link here anyone who is interested can read all about it.

As I continue to learn about all-things-iPod I’ve just discovered about iPod hacks. This reference startled me at first as it is not in my nature to destroy other’s enjoyment in any manner, especially when it comes to something like PCs and iPods.

What I learned is the term hacks when it refers to iPod is another way of saying accessories, except that the modification most likely will void your iPod’s warrantee. In any case the lists I found were nothing less than fascinating.

For instance, according to howstuffworks.com, the range of accessories includes downloadable iPod games and programs that convert DVDs to iPod-friendly video files. There are also programs that convert PDA files your PowerPoint presentations into files that work with your iPod-compatible.

The howstuffworks website also provided a reference to a list of some current applications: “iPod hackers are publishing all sorts of programs that alter the way an iPod works — some of the software is free, and some of it is for purchase. Some currently available hacks let you:

• Make an iPod work with Linux machines and run Linux applications

• Remove volume caps (iPods sold in Europe cap the volume at 100 decibels; uncapped iPods can reach more than 115 decibels.)

• Turn your iPod into a universal remote • Attach an external hard drive to your iPod to increase the storage capacity

• Change your iPod’s font and graphics • Watch movies on your iPod in full-screen mode • Plug your iPod into any computer (even without iTunes) and listen to music from the hard drive

• Transfer photos to iPod without using iTunes

• Replace iTunes all together as the iPod’s main jukebox • Use an iPod with a Windows 98 machine “

While I am fascinated with the expansion this provides I am too cautious and protective of Buck to try anything other than factory sealed products from Apple. I can be patient until they ramp up to the accessory list I peeked at in an underground publication.

The upcoming Apple list is robust and will blow away the hacker’s meager offerings. Meanwhile, I’ll stick to my movie and music downloading which keeps me rather busy and satisfied.

However if you hear any buzz about an auto-pilot for long cross-country drives that’s compatible with a 2006 STS, please pass it on. I might just let Buck give it a try.

Top 25 Transfer Music From Ipod To Computer Links

November 26th, 2008
Transferring music from your iPod to your computer is easy to do if you have the tools. Unfortunately, the iPod is designed to prevent us from sharing our music. Which is understandable, because the music industry is reeling from the technology which allows us to copy music CDs, and reducing their profits.

But the problem is longstanding, ever since the old cassette tape players were used to record music, straight from the radio.

So, what should you do if your computer with all your iTunes goes on the bum, or even worse, just breaks. You’re stuck, without any way to transfer your tunes to your new computer.
