iPod Troubleshooting / Help
Sunday, June 14, 2009 - - 0 Comments
Your iPod is a very valuable tool that many people enjoy. Although nobody wants anything to go wrong with their iPod, eventually something will and you need to know what to do if something does. If your iPod freezes, or won't turn on, don't freak out. Just follow these simple steps in order to help solve the problem.
First of all, if your iPod is frozen or won't turn on make sure the hold button is turned off. Next, reset your iPod by holding the center button and the menu button at the same time. If that doesn't work try holding the center button and the play/pause button until your iPod boots into disk mode. Now you should be able to plug your iPod into your computer. If your iPod is still not working correctly your best option is to restore it by plugging it into your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on your iPod, and then clicking the button restore. This will delete all of your songs and settings, but also restore it to factory condition. Your iPod should now be fixed. If you followed all these directions and your iPod still won't turn on, you should send it into Apple and they'll fix it for you. Here is a video made by Apple that should be easier to understand.

Your iPod is a very unique and powerful tools. It can be used almost anywhere. You can take much advantage of your iPod with some great accessories. They may cost a bit of money but they are all well worth it. From listening to your iPod through speakers, through your car radio, mounting your iPod in your car, making the battery last 42 hours longer, removing your iPod of scratches, protecting it from scratches, and even listening to your iPod through wireless headphones. There are many great iPod accessories out there, but i'm just going to scratch the surface on what I think are the best one's at a good price.
iPhone 3G vs. iPhone 3G S
Friday, June 12, 2009 - - 0 Comments
So what exactly does the iPhone 3G S have that the iPhone 3G does not? Well that answer is simple. Speed. Yep, with over 2x the ram the iPhone is the fastest, most powerful phone yet. But is speed really all that important? Is it worth the extra bucks? Well, the 3G S also comes with some other special features. It comes with a 3 megapixel camera with autofocus and video recording. The iPhone 3G only came with a 2 megapixel camera and no video recording. The 3G S also comes with voice control. Meaning you can simply say a command to play music, or place a call. How convenient is that? Last but not least one of the best upgrades in my opinion is the space. The new iPhone 3G S is going to be released in your choice of 16GB or 32GB compared to the 3G 8GB of storage. But is all this really worth it to upgrade to the 3G S? I guess we'll find out when it's released in stores June 18.

So you need a way to protect your iPod from scratches, but you still want to be able to keep that sleek design and look that the iPod already offers. I'm a guy who has tried almost everything to keep my iPod scratch free. But couldn't find the right protection that didn't cover up my iPod's true identity. But then I found this new product. One that protects my iPod from scratches and chips. The best part about this, is that it works for all mp3 players, iPods, and cell phones (including iPhone). So how should you protect your iPod?
It's called the invisible shield. It's used from the same material used to protect helicopter blades. Not only does it protect your iPod great. It also comes with a life time replacement guarantee, so if you break the film (which is not likely), they will send you a new one free. I currently use this on my iPod and love it. It protects my iPod from scratches, and you can barely tell it's there! Still don't believe me? You will after you see this video.
