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!
Hey Jess, does the iPod touch do internet at all?
Yes, it has Wifi. I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to find an unsecured wireless network to connect to at work all day. (Because it's my birthday and my boss is out of the office. Motivation to do actual work = GONE.)
I'll Google when I'm back at home & can get online with it.
In the meantime, it's sure as hell one pretty pretty iPod.
SHINY!

Ooh, nice list, OA. Bookmarked.
glad to be of service :)
Ooo! I just found a shiny!!!! You can add your own ringtones to your iPhone! And it does NOT require a hack. It does NOT void your Apple Warranty. And they have a "try before you buy" ability! [link]
Kinda funny. Here I have a fancy schmancy phone that can play all sorts of high quality sounds, and what do I do? I find my favorite cheesey 8-bit(ish) MID file that has been my ringtone for YEARS and convert it to a AAC so my phone can play it. Once again I have "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" as a ringtone

Argh, I'm so frustrated! I bought this [link] hard drive about a month ago because of serious space issues, and it worked completely fine, so I put like 100 gigs of stuff on there, and now the fucking thing is clicking away and not loading. Can someone point me to a link of self-troubleshooting for hard drives that have done nosedives? I am going to be so pissed if all that data is lost.
mine was doing that and I had to recover 120GB of data through getdataback.
It recovered my entire itunes library. yes, I would have been ass out without it.
I went through an iTunes loss early this year, so I feel for you -- it was a new drive failure, too.
I had all my iTunes music on my Mac Mini, which was set to do an update every night. But now all my music is on my MacBook, and I currently have no automated backup set up. This is making me nervous. Have to get that Time Machine set up....
