i-pod help

[Colapop]

I got a new i-pod and I'm figurin' owt 'ow to use it, see? Nuffing too technical 'ere (I 'ope) but I wanna know - Can ya copy music from yer i-pod to your computer? I can get it to go one way but not the other... can someone 'oo as knowledge of this stuff please tell me wot I'm doin' wrong... or at least tell me 'ow to get this fing to work and do what I want it to...?

[bugjuice]

there's no 'official' Apple way of copying music back, Apple don't want you doing that, cos you 'steel music' somehow, but there's plenty of apps around that do it. I use Senuti, works well and it's free
just do a quick google search and lots comes ups

[Colapop]

Cool, ta!

Google and KB is my friend!

[Sully60]

'steel music'

Played on steel drums!
How do they get those bands into the little i-pod thingys anyway??

[Colapop]

It's not a done deal yeti...

[bugjuice]

thought there was a windy version. soz. anyway, that sort of thing. go forth. go look. good luck. be brave. hold your head high. and don't smack your chin on door frames. or stub your toe. cos that hurts too.

hehe, you are so asking the wrong person, I have no idea either, just have a couple of music clips I downloaded from itunes.

[crazefox]

do you have to buy them from i tunes?

[Trudes]

Yeah, I think they're about $4 or something per clip. Awesome quality video and sound though!!!

[crazefox]

Shit :bash::bash:

[Slingshot]

do you have to buy them from i tunes?

You don't have to buy anything these days.

Use the attached program to convert a video file to a MPEG-4 file, it's even got presets for the different Ipods, couldn't be easier.

Download the program, remove the .doc from the end of the file name, unzip and run the exe file.

[Trudes]

Sweet, thanks!!!

[crazefox]

cheers mate

If you go to the i-tunes store there are loads of free podcasts you can subscribe to - the YouTube one is fabulous, really funny clips that get sent to your i-tunes account every week or so. As an extra special treat I've got myself a couple of full length movies too (got a 30GB ipod, is utterly wonderful). You can get 160GB versions now though ...... Me has ipod envy ......

Re. getting tunes from your ipod onto your computer, don't you just right click the tune in your i-tunes account and "copy" to your hard drive? Or haven't you got your ipod set up with i-tunes, ColaPop?

I tried, but it says I need a MPEg-2 playback thinginy or other.

That might be because you don't have quick time installed, download the free version from here (http://www.codecguide.com/download_qt.htm) and try that.
KL QuickTime Alternative is a free unofficial distribution of QuickTime. It has a quite smaller installer (less than 15 MB) and includes MPEG-2 decoding in the "Extra QuickTime plugins". When you install it, be sure to enable the checkbox "Extra QuickTime plugins", otherwise the MPEG-2 decoder will not be installed.

Yeah I have but when I use explorer it'll play the tunes not copy them... I have technosoft help now so I can do what I bloody well please - for free!

[Slingshot]

Have just found that you can download MotoGP Podcasts from iTunes. To find them, just search iTunes for 'motogp podcast' best thing is that they're free to download.

[Colapop]

Humpft!! The bloody software I got didn't work. Or at least I couldn't work it. Anyone got any PC ipod transfer software for me? Please?

Mmmm motoGP podcast!

if you hold down the centre and menu buttons together (or centre and play) it will reset its self :niceone:

My daughter's Nano freezes a bit, mine doesn't - but if it does I flick the Hold switch on and off, then press and hold the Menu and Center buttons for at about 5 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. It then resets and all's sweet.

Try that next time :)

Edit: lol, after 8 days of no one saying this Fozz and I come up with the same response at the same time..

Thanks you two, will try it next time it does it (usually when I'm in the middle of nowhere on the bike!) Appreciate the help! :yes:
