Purge your song searches quickly
March 25th, 2007 by professoripod
Searching for a song on your iPod is easy with iTunes, just use the field in the top right-hand corner of the window.
You already knew that though, right?
Now, whenever you are done searching, just click the little (x) button at the end of the field instead of deleting the text you just entered to purge your song search.
Ha! Did you know that too?
Didn’t think so

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.

Password protect your music
March 20th, 2007 by professoripod
If you really want to, you can set a password for your iTunes library. All you have to do is go to:
- Preferences > Sharing
- Check the “Require password” option at the bottom of the window.
- Set the password.
Now click OK and make sure that you won’t forget the password you just set. You might want to write it down somewhere safe just in case.
Seriously though, who does this?

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.

iTunes Music Store: Buying wisely
March 18th, 2007 by professoripod
For the users who buy songs on impulse at the iTunes Music Store, I have a solution
Go to:
- Preferences > Store
- Check the “Buy using a Shopping Cart” option.
This adds all items into one big order which you can view after you are done browsing and want to purchase the songs at the checkout. Doing this will help you re-consider buying that certain song.
Problem solved! Or is it?

Diagnostics & disk scans
March 18th, 2007 by professoripod
Just posting some more cool iPod tricks you might like to test and play around with
Put your iPod into diagnostics mode
- Reset your iPod.
- Once you see the apple, quickly hold the Select and Left button down until the menu comes up.
Run a Disk Scan on your iPod
- Reset your iPod.
- When your iPod displays the Apple logo, hold down the Previous/Next/Select/Menu button for a few seconds.
- Wait 10-30 minutes for your iPod to finish scanning.
- Check what icon your iPod displays when finished:
- A “check mark” means the disk is fine.
- An “exclamation mark” means the disk scan failed.
- An “arrow” means the scan fixed some problems it found.
- Press the Play button to exit.
Done and done. And I mean done.

Is your iPod abnormally slow?
March 17th, 2007 by professoripod
Well, aren’t you lucky…
This is usually a sign that your iPod needs a software update. Simply run the iPod Updater. If this is not the case, remove all music on your iPod and re-sync it. If the problem persists, your iPod needs repair.
