Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Are people really doing presentations on iPods?
This makes me picture people doing iPod presentations by listening to their iPods while dancing behind a scrim, to replicate those old iPod ads....
Now I want to invent various interpretive dances that relate to specific business strategies, but I suppose I should do some work instead.
Ah, videos. I hadn't thought of that. It could be nice and creepy for Skype and Facetime.
Unrelatedly, who is the primary market for iPod projectors? Woot has that on sale for $199 right now, but it used to be $499. I don't get that..
Plus, if it's small enough, I could use it for presentations while traveling.

The question I asked above stands, then--are people saving or transporting presentations on an iPod? What's the format? Videos I get, but is there a slideshow equivalent?
When I was doing classroom support, the usual thing was to save ppt or keynote slides as images and flip through them as an image slideshow. Now that there's an iOS version of Keynote and Google Docs presentations, people may be using those more.
the keynote version on ipad kicks ass.
Some people juggle geese on an iPad!
I never managed to mount my sister's Touch on her new laptop. The Apple store is telling her she needs to buy a piece of software so she can access an unpaired iPod as a hard drive in order to copy the music off and add it to the library and *then* pair the iPod.
Does that make sense? I know it didn't use to be that way. I want to be sure before she pulls the trigger on the software purchase.
SenutI is the software I know of: [link]
I haven't used it in years, but it worked great back then.
Yes, it does make sense. It's copy protection reasons. So you can't grab your buddies iPod and snag all their songs into your library.

I guess I got lucky then, because that's exactly how I backed up my iPod, or transferred my tunes to a new computer--using the iPod as a hard drive with no extra software. In through the window...
