Fix your Ipod
Yes... Ipods can be very frustrating.
I say this from personal experience, I have only bought an ipod in my life, after it damaged I transferred to Zune which I must say is an excellent device...
The story is the following, I have an ipod which after being in use for about a year got corrupted for some reason. I tried everything, I went to the Apple store they said they couldn't do anything, I took it to a computer specialist, he wasn't able to fix it either, I tried everything in the manuals... etc, etc, etc...
So after all this trouble I sat one day in my house and started to look for a solution... This are all the things I did, if your ipod doesn't work after this, I suggest you get a Zune... Just kidding Apple.
Follow the steps listed below (remember this is if your ipod is corrupted or not working for some reason, almost every problem can be solved here, if not you can try apple support or others):
STOP: Before you do anything, please read the manual or take it to the Apple store to see what they can do for you.
(This is directly from Apple's support pages)
1) First of all try reseting your ipod:
- Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
- Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
3) If this doesn't work try restoring your ipod:
- Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
- Download and install the latest version of iTunes if you do not already have it installed.
- Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
- After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
- Select your iPod in the Source panel and you will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
- Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
-
- Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
- Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
- Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software available.
- Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software available.
- If you are using a Mac, a message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator’s name and password.
- A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will present one of two messages on screen with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
-
- Restore Instruction 1: Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
- Restore Instruction 2: Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
- During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
- After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.
1. Disconnect the iPod from the computer and close iTunes.
2. Highlight all of the following 10 lines of text that begin with regsvr32 and then choose Copy from the Edit menu of your web browser:
regsvr32 /s softpub.dll
regsvr32 /s wintrust.dll
regsvr32 /s dssenh.dll
regsvr32 /s rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 /s gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 /s sccbase.dll
regsvr32 /s slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 /s mssip32.dll
regsvr32 /s cryptdlg.dll
regsvr32 /s initpki.dll
3. Open the Notepad program by navigating to:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad
4. In Notepad, choose Paste from the Edit menu. Note: make sure that the text that appears in Notepad is the same as what is shown above.
5. From the File menu, choose Save As.
6. In the File name: field type appleipod.bat and save the file to the Desktop.
7. Close Notepad and locate the appleipod.bat file. It should appear on the Desktop with the icon shown below:
8. Double-click the file and you will see a black window appear on the screen for about a minute. Wait until the window automatically disappears and proceed to the next step.
9. The appleipod.bat file can be deleted at this time.
10. Open iTunes and connect the iPod.
11. When the iPod appears in iTunes, restore the iPod and resync your content.
This is what saved my ipod...
5) Sometimes there is a problem with the ipod's hardrive try opening it and close it again as shown below (By doing this you will completely void your warranty, do it carefully) I am not responsible if your ipod gets damaged you are donig this at your own risk...

Watch TV on your computer... Top Stuff
You guys have probably looked for a TV player on the internet... Or at least something to watch TV shows in your computer... it is a really cool thing, getting video streams on your computer via internet I mean you can watch your favorite TV shows, news anchor, channels, etc... especially those who don't have cable. So, you have probably searched everything but I have compiled here a list of the top services for watching TV according to me. Each service is explained in here...
1) Joost: Joost was launched about a week ago after being almost two years in beta version... It does not provide live video streams but it has a list of content from popular TV channels such as MTV, Comedy Central, A&E and others... It is not downloadable content, it is streaming video. Something great about Joost is its user interfacfe.
2) TVU Player: For me this is the best P2P TV service, with TVU you actualy watch live streaming videos. People stream different channels from around the world and you watch them. You can also stream channels you want. It always has new channels but sometimes people stop streaming and the channel dissapears but it reappears when they start streaming again. You can find channels such as Bloomber, CBS, ABC news, Nickelodeon, HBO...
3) Miro: For me Miro is a good service. You select a list of channels and it downloads podcast from that channel every time there is a new post. You can get stuff from many well known channels such as CNBC, National Geographic, G4TV and some not that known but usually very good.
4) Veoh TV: It is from Veoh.com, it is a great source for watching video streams such as the ones in Miro but you don't download them. it is a good service. You can also find free movie streams without having to download them...
5) www.tioti.com: Tioti is a great place for searching for your favorite shows and to see where you can watch them for free... you can search for links that provide free TV shows like South Park, Heroes, Lost etc.
6) www.tv-links.co.uk: This is a good service for watching TV by using links. They provide the links for popular TV and movie content.
7) Itunes: Yes! this is indeed the itunes you know, they are now providing some free content to download but you will need the link you can download some cool stuff check it out (click here to go to the link).
8) Torrents: This is also a cool way for watching free TV shows as well as movies or other video content. You should download Utorrent if you don't have it yet and then you just download the torrent from sites such as isohunt or mininova.
9) Justin.tv If you are too bored with your life check out justin.tv for other people's boring life.
Others: Sopcast, Zattoo, channelsurfing, peekvid, LiveStation, PPLive, PPMate, Mania TV
10) PLUS...
SlingBox Player: Although Slingbox is not free and you have to buy the SlingBox. For me this is the greatest way for watching tv via internet. What you do is that you use you internet connection, your TV and your Slingbox to stream your content via internet. You get a password so that no matter where in the world you are, as long as you have an internet connection as nd the slingbox software installed you can watch your TV,or you can also watch your VCR, DVD etc, it depends on what you are planning to stream. This would be my choice for those who want to see your TV anywhere
Hope you enjoyed the article, by clicking the images you will be directed to each service's page.
