    • Transfer songs from your iPod to your PC

    April 2nd, 2007 by professoripod

    Just like I promised in the Mac post, here it is:

    - Connect the iPod to your PC.

    - Go to Control Panel > Portable Media Devices > iPod.

    - Go to Tools > Options.

    - In the View tab, check “Show Hidden Files & Folders”.

    - Navigate to the music folder.

    - Select all music folders, drag & drop them into a folder on your hard drive.

    Now, be aware of the fact that the folder structure will be strange and obscure, so to fix this, move your files into iTunes and set it to organize your files.

    How would you do that? Easy.

    - Go to Edit > Preferences.

    - In the advanced tab, check “Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized”.

    You’re welcome ;)

    Same volume songs on your iPod

    March 29th, 2007 by professoripod

    Every song has different volume levels (unfortunately), so you will want to adjust them to the same level for convenience.

    To achieve this, go to:

    - Preferences > Playback

    - Check the “Sound Check” option.

    Easy.

    Now, when you turn on your iPod, check:

    - Settings > Sound Check

    - Press the “Select” button.

    Double easy :)

    Is your iPod music missing?

    March 29th, 2007 by professoripod

    It may appear sometimes that music on your iPod has vanished. This can be due to your iPod’s music database being faulty, or your iTunes settings need adjustment. On newer iPods, a “Hard Reset” should bring it back.

    Another option would be to run the latest version of iPod Updater on your iPod, erasing it completely, then re-fill it with music.

    Here are the PC and the OSX download links for the iPod Updaters.

    Replace your iPod Mini battery

    March 27th, 2007 by professoripod

    The only thing that holds me back from doing this hack is being bothered to buy another iPod mini battery -_-

    - Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry the white plastic cover from the top and bottom of the iPod.

    - The covers should be attached to the case by a small amount of glue.

    - Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the two screws at the top of the iPod.

    - Remove a small metal clip beneath the bottom case cover by placing the tip of a screwdriver in each of the four corners of the clip, prying each side loose.

    - Use the tip of the screwdriver to pop the connector out of its socket.

    - Push from the bottom and slide the motherboard out the top of the iPod case.

    - Remove the battery from its spot on the motherboard by gently lifting it.

    - Take out the old power connector by gently lifting it free from the power socket.

    - Plug in the new battery and place it in its position on the motherboard.

    - Reassemble the iPod.

    Once again, be aware of the fact that your iPod mini will need a minimum 3 hours of charging before it can be used.

    Hope it worked!

    Transfer songs from your iPod to your Mac

    March 26th, 2007 by professoripod

    Never tried it, and never will…

    - All the file formats searched for must be set to be opened with iTunes.

    - In iTunes’ Preferences under the Advanced tab, you should have the check box “Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library” checked.

    - Run the following “find” command:
    find /Volumes/iPod_name -type f \( -name \*.mp3 -o -name \*.m4a -o \
    -name \*.m4b -o -name \*.m4p -o -name \*.wav -o -name \*.aiff -o \
    -name \*.aif -o -name \*.aa \) -exec open “{}” \;

    - Replace iPod_name with the name of your iPod in the above command.

    Hope it works for all you Mac people.

    Stay tuned for the “Transfer songs from your iPod to your PC” post some time next week!

    Cmon, you didn’t think I’d forget the PC people did you? :)

    iPod won’t turn on?

    March 24th, 2007 by professoripod

    Well, we both have something in common then :\

    Most of the time, this is due to a dead battery. Give your iPod a few hours to charge and try again. You may want to try the “Hold” switch and the “Hard Reset” also. If the problem persists, you probably need a new screen, battery or hard drive, depending on where the problem lies.

    Store notes on your iPod

    March 22nd, 2007 by professoripod

    How should I start this?

    - Connect your iPod to your PC as an external drive.

    - Save your files as .txt

    - Copy your .txt files into the “Notes” folder on your iPod drive.

    - Disconnect your iPod.

    - You can access your notes on your iPod by going to Main Menu > Extras > Notes.

    What more could I say?

    iPod won’t respond?

    March 19th, 2007 by professoripod

    There are a few things you can do here. The first option is using the “Hold” switch at the top of your iPod. Turn it on and off a few times. For the iPod shuffle, hold down the “Play” button for a few seconds, activating the hold, then holding it again releases the hold.

    Now try your iPods buttons again. If that didn’t work, the next best thing you could try is the “Hard Reset”. This is achieved in different ways, depending on what generation iPod you have.

    If you have an iPod which has the click wheel, press the “Action” (Center) and “Menu” buttons at the same time. If you have a pre-click wheel iPod, press the “Play” and “Menu” buttons at the same time.

    If you have an iPod shuffle, turn the rear switch off, then on. If you are still having trouble, a “Disk Scan” is recommended.

    Replace your iPod battery

    March 19th, 2007 by professoripod

    Note** Doing this will indefinitely void your iPod’s warranty.

    With that said, here we go:

    - Using a screwdriver, pry open the case, starting with the top corner.

    - With the screwdriver wedged inside the case, work your way down to the bottom of the iPod.

    - Make sure you are unclipping the case clips as you go.

    - One side should be unclipped, you can now lift the main section of the iPod away from the case cover.

    - Detach the old battery from the back of the Ipod using the screwdriver.

    - The battery should now be connected only by its power cord.

    - Do not remove the rubber pad that supports the battery.

    - Gently pull on the power cable to disconnect it from the iPod.

    - Plug in the new battery.

    - Snap the case back on.

    Also take note, your iPod needs a minimum 3 hours of charging before it can be used.
