    Guys, this is only compatible with the video iPod. And remember that by doing this, any customized settings will be reset. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

    - Create a new folder named “Demo Mode” on your iPod.

    - Rename any video file as “Demo” in iTunes.

    - Keep the iPod in a charger and not playing, or paused.

    - Within 2 minutes, the video you renamed as “Demo” will automatically play and repeat.

    So, who wants a video iPod now? lol.

    Always keep your iPod happy

    March 14th, 2007 by professoripod

    Taking care of your iPod ensures it won’t die on you unexpectedly and live for a long time to come.

    Don’t disconnect at the wrong time.
    Always wait until your iPod displays the “OK to disconnect” message before disconnecting it from the FireWire cable. The danger here is that you may interrupt data transfer and corrupt one or more files as a result.

    Handle with care.
    The iPod was built to be tough, but it will not handle more than a few falls before saying goodbye forever. The best thing you can do is buy a protective case from your local Apple store or online.

    Keep away from fire & water.
    In other words, keep it away from extreme heat or cold. If you find your iPod in such a situation, don’t turn it on. Let it settle back to its normal temperature before attempting to see if it still works.

    After all, don’t we care for the things we love? :)

    3 Useful iTunes Tips

    March 13th, 2007 by professoripod

    Keeping it simple for you. Hope these help :P

    Check total play time
    The bottom bar of iTunes displays abbreviated play time. To switch to detailed time, which displays the exact play time, just click on the bottom bar once.

    Convert video to MP3
    When you have a video in your iTunes library, simply right-click (PC) or control-click (Mac) it and choose the “Convert Selection to MP3″ option.

    Delete duplicate songs
    A duplicate song is the same song added twice into your iTunes playlist by accident. To find these, go to:

    - Edit > Show Duplicate Songs

    Now simply highlight and delete them.
    If there is a problem you are having with iTunes let us know and we will look into it. We’re here to help :)

    The “Hidden” iPod Easter Egg Revealed

    March 12th, 2007 by professoripod

    This does not work in the latest generation of iPods.

    To sum it up in one sentence, an easter egg is a hidden item or “gem” that is not meant to be found easily. To find yours, follow these instructions:

    - Go into your Main Menu.

    - Now go to the “About” screen.

    - Once there, hold down the “Action” (Center) button for several seconds.

    - Viola! You will be treated to a game of Apple Classic Brick-Out.

    A cool feature about Brick-Out also is that it can be played while the iPod is sitting idle or playing MP3s.

    I’m not sure this works with all iPods, so don’t be surprised if it doesn’t work :P

    My iPod Downloads - Review

    March 12th, 2007 by professoripod

    Over 759,000 people use “My iPod Downloads” every day.

    For those who don’t know, My iPod Downloads is a download service for iPod users to download practically anything to their iPod for free, after paying a one-time fee for membership.

    In fact, there are over 95 million files available for download, including movies, TV shows, music videos, video tutorials, ripping software, sporting events, and of course, music.

    The main reason anyone would join a download service like this is so they can have access to everything they could possibly want without spending hours finding it themselves, and even avoid the chance of paying for a single song or video.

    In other words, My iPod Downloads will save you money, but more importantly, time.

    If you are a chronic downloader, this service was made just for you. It gets my rubber stamp of approval any day :)

    5 Things To Know Before Buying An iPod

    March 12th, 2007 by professoripod

    Because impulse buying is wrong, especially iPod impulse buying :P

    1) Be relaxed & comfortable
    When purchasing an iPod, you should be happy with what you see. Make sure it meets all your expectations and fits your needs. Ask a lot of questions, or do a lot of research online, because you will be stuck with this model for a while if you decide to buy it.

    2) Big changes happen every 6-12 months
    There will always be something fresher and better on the market 6-12 months after any new product release. If a new iPod was released many months ago and you are considering buying it, be patient and wait for a new model to be released within a few months.

    3) Don’t buy the “first generation” model
    When a new iPod is released, it is safer to wait for the second or third generation of that model to be released. This is because the first generation usually suffers from “revision A”, “early adopter” or “first generation” bugs.

    4) Don’t listen to rumors
    There will always be rumors and speculation about upcoming iPods and what’s next for Apple. Most information like this can be found on various websites, yet this information is 99% of the time completely incorrect, as Apple never discusses future products and plans openly.

    5) Expect frequent change
    As time goes by, the iPod will only get better. Apple always tries to keep its products ahead of the competition. Based on the latest statistics, you can expect external changes, such as casing, about a year after release and internal changes, such as storage capacity, about 3-6 months after release.

    If you already have an iPod, use these tips for your next iPod purchase :)
