Apple iPod Special U2 Edition

New iPod models have sprung up as quickly as mushrooms after the rain and each time they just seem to get better and better. I have to say though that this U2 special edition iPod just captured my heart the moment I saw it. Being very much a U2 fan, the fact that the back panel has the band members’ signatures engraved on it is enough reason in itself for it to be the best. The U2 iPod is easily recognizable from all the other models due to its style. While the others are usually white - or plain black in the case of some 5G models – this baby’s black front panel and bright red click wheel is sure to stand out.

The U2 iPod is so much more than eye candy, though. Twenty gigabytes of storage may seem meager compared to the storage capacity of the newer models but believe me, it still translates to a lot of songs. I have had the iPod for a little over a year now and I still haven’t filled it up.

The U2 iPod has similar features as that of other iPods of its generation. It is so easy to use - all you need in order to do whatever you want with your songs is your thumb. Superior sound quality lets you enjoy all your favorite songs.

One drawback is the battery life. It is supposed to be able to play songs continuously for 12 hours. In my experience, it could be anywhere from 4-9 hours. Factors such as file size and playback options may be the reason for this. The lock button on the top of the iPod can help conserve battery. When not in use, you can lock it so that you won’t accidentally run the battery down. Another concern is that the iPod gets scratched easily. Solution: get a case for protection.

Indeed, compared to the other models with their newer features, the U2 iPod is a bit expensive. If you think about it though, it has everything you need in an mp3 player – unless it’s video you’re after. I suppose the bottom line is whether you are enough of a U2 fan to splurge on it. Then again, even if you are not and you have enough cash to spend, the stand out look of the U2 iPod should be enough reason to get it for yourself.

Integrated iPod Car Kit for Audi Vehicles


iPods are one of the most successful inventions if not the most successful inventions in the last 10 years, Its one of a very few inventions that transcends generations. In my family I have one, my parents have two and even my grandparents have one (Admittedly they struggle to use it sometimes). However this demonstrates the desirability, use-ability and functionality of them. Due to this invention It’s likely within 10 years most of the worlds music collection will be digital, with very few singles & albums released on CD or any other physical media. With this in mind it’s important to realise now what impact this will have in the present and more so in the future.

There’s a growing trend within the car audio and entertainment market to connect the iPod into the entertainment system, through the car stereo. This allows access of all of your favourite music and videos (where compatible) at the touch of a button. With the use of these devices you are in control of what you listen to, when you want to listen to it, without having to change 100’s of CDs to switch from artist to artist.

Many aftermarket manufacturers already offer this function with their newer stereo ranges. However the vast majority vehicle owners do not want to remove the original stereo equipment and replace with an aftermarket equivalent. This is more evident in the case of the more luxurious and executive vehicles owners such as Audi, as it’s more difficult to integrate aftermarket systems into the more expensive and desirable interior. If this is the case for you there are more options available than you may have thought.

iPod Car kits are available for factory fitted radios, among the best are Dension and the US equivalent Dice. These devices connect into the CD changer usually found on the back of the stereo. When connected they emulate the CD changer but allow you to connect you iPod into the system. From here you can control your music selections from the vehicle steering wheel controls or from the stereo & navigate back and forward through albums while it keeps you iPod charged and ready for when you exit the car.

Kits are available for the following Audi Radios,

Chorus, Chorus II, Chorus Gen2, Concert, Concert II, Concert Gen2, Symphony, Symphony II, Symphony Gen2, Navigation Plus RNS-D, Navigation RNS-E, Navigation RNS-Low

Separate kits are required for the MMI, MMI Basic fibre optic systems.

Extend Your iPod Battery Life


Music Plays a large part in most people’s lives. Some people absolutely need music to get motivated to workout. Some people need music to make the workday go quicker. And for those romantic types, music is counted on to “set the mood”. Gone are the days of mixed tapes and clunky CD players though. Digital music is where it’s at and what better way to enjoy your music, then on the go. The iPod was introduced in 2001 and revolutionized how we listen to music.

Now, anyone who is anyone owns an iPod. Apple hasn’t made it easy to keep up with the latest technologies though. Shortly after you buy your “latest and greatest” iPod, a new iPod model comes out that can do things you wouldn’t imagine an iPod ever doing. iPods come in several different “flavors” from orange, red, and lime to sleek glossy black and now many iPod models not only play and store music but also movies and games. All these extra iPod features equals more time with your headphones plugged in your ears, but also means your iPod is powered on much longer.

With the extended “play time” of these iPods, have you ever found that your iPod battery is just not keeping up with you? Below are a few tips on how to extend the life or your iPod battery so you can enjoy your iPod to the fullest.

Use Hold and Pause
Set the Hold switch when you are not using your iPod. The hold switch prevents the iPod from inadvertently waking up, which unnecessarily uses power. Also, consider pausing your music when you are not listening to it.

Turn Wi-Fi Off
Wi-Fi uses power even if you are not using it to connect to a network. Turn it off saves power. Go to Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi.

Turn Equalizer Off
Turn EQ off if you don’t use it. Adding EQs to playback uses more of the iPod processor, which in turn, drains more from the iPod battery. However, if you’ve added EQ to tracks in iTunes, you’ll need to set EQ to “flat”, which will give the effect of “off”.

Limit Backlight Usage
The default setting is for the backlight to always be on. Leaving the backlight on will significantly reduce your battery life.

Second Guess Third-party Applications
Many third-party applications make the iPod Touch so much more fun to play with. However, excessive use of these applications can reduce the battery life because they prevent the screen from dimming or shutting off.

According to Apple.com, a properly maintained iPod battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 400 full charge and discharge cycles. If you find that your iPod battery no longer holds a charge like it used to, it might be time to replace your battery. There are several reputable vendors online that sell iPod batteries as well as iPod extended life batteries.

Add Music From iPod To Computer - Guide For Newbies


It is very likely that you already know how to transfer music to your iPod, but perhaps you are also wondering if you add music from iPod to computer.

While you are able to synchronize your computer's music library with your iPod, automatically or manually, transferring files back from your iPod to your computer entails a more complex process.

A possible reason why Apple restricted this particular feature of letting you add music from iPod to computer is to prevent piracy and protect music companies selling their songs to Apple's iTunes. After all, when there is ease in transferring music from iPod to computer, people are likely to take advantage of it.

Then again, adding music to your computer from iPod is not entirely impossible. Apple understands that there are honest individuals who would like to activate this feature for the purpose of recovering their files in the event something happens to their iPod.

Before music can be added back from iPod to computer, you must make the music folder in your iPod visible. This can be tricky because normally the music folder is hidden and cannot be accessed easily.

If you are using a Mac, the only thing you can do is to download the software, called TinkerTool that will enable you to access the hidden files. Once you have successfully done that, you can now plug your iPod to your PC and launch iTunes. iTunes will most likely ask you if you would like to replace the contents of your iPod with the songs from the iTunes library, to which you must say no. From the iTunes source list, select the iPod icon. Next, make sure that the Manually Manage Songs and Playlists and Disk Use options are both enabled. Now, launch the TinkerTool. There is a Finder Tab there that you must click in order to find hidden files. Click the Relaunch Finder and double click the iPod's icon on your desktop. By double clicking the Ipod Control Folder, you will find a series of folders, among them the music folder. Manually drag this folder to your desktop to copy the files from your iPod.

If you are using Windows applications, plug your iPod, launch iTunes, select the iPod icon from the iTunes source list, and enable the Manually Manage Songs and Playlist option and the Disk Use option. Next, double click My Computer and look for the iPod icon; click it. Go to Tools Menu and click Folder Options and then View Tab. When you see the Hidden Files and Folders option, enable the Show Hidden Files and Folders option and click Apply. Now, double click your iPod folder on your desktop, double click the iPod control folder and drag the music folder back to your desktop in order to add music from iPod to computer.

I have listed in my blog more tips and tricks to enable you to add music from iPod to computer.

Scosche Passport


by Dan Frakes, Macworld.com

Although all recent iPods, and both iPhone models, require a USB connection to sync with your computer, until this year’s models you could still charge Apple’s media players via a FireWire connection. But beginning with the iPhone 3G, and continuing with the second-generation iPod touch, the fourth-generation iPod nano, and presumably all future models, USB is now required for both syncing and charging.

This is fine if you regularly sync your portable with your computer; after all, whenever you sync, you’re charging, as well. But it could be a problem if you’ve invested a good chunk of change in an iPod connection kit for your car stereo, or a nice iPod speaker system, and you've upgraded to a new iPhone or iPod: many older accessories use the FireWire circuitry in Apple’s dock connector to provide power for charging. This includes many of the pricey car-audio systems Apple itself has touted. (Unfortunately, few vendors publicize which circuitry they use, so you can’t tell if an accessory will charge your new iPod or iPhone until you actually connect it. Thankfully, most new accessories correctly use USB for both charging and syncing.)

If you’ve been bitten by this change to the iPod and iPhone's hardware—and based on feedback we’ve received from readers and complaints we’ve seen around the Web, quite a few people have—there’s a solution that doesn’t involve replacing your equipment: Scosche’s $30 Passport.

The Passport is a 1.5-inch-long adapter that essentially routes FireWire-circuitry power to the USB-power pins of your iPod or iPhone’s dock-connector port. You just plug your car audio system’s dock-connector cable into the bottom of the Passport, and then plug the Passport’s dock-connector plug into the bottom of your iPod or iPhone. Your new iPod or iPhone now charges properly. (Scosche lists compatible car-audio systems on the product’s Web site; there are a small number of car systems it doesn't work with.)

But while the Passport is advertised as an accessory for car audio systems, it also works with other accessories. For example, if you have an affected iPod speaker system, you just place the Passport in the system’s dock cradle and then dock your iPod or iPhone onto the Passport.

In my testing with a range of older iPod accessories, the Passport worked well, letting me charge and play the latest iPod and iPhone models. The Passport even worked with the new video-output circuitry on these iPod and iPhone models, which require dock-connector video accessories to include special “authentication” circuitry; accessories that included this circuitry successfully accessed the player’s video output through the Passport.

Of course, when using the Passport with dock-cradle accessories, the fit isn’t nearly as nice as if you were placing the iPod or iPhone directly in a dock cradle; you’ll want to make sure the accessory provides some sort of support for the player to avoid putting too much strain on the connector. And because the Passport is thicker than Apple's dock-connector plug, it may not work with all iPod or iPhone cases. Finally, $30 may seem pricey for what is essentially a charging adapter. But the Passport is one of the first solutions we've seen for this annoying incompatibility (the other, which I hope to test soon, is from CableJive). And if it works for you, it’s a bargain compared to the alternative of replacing an expensive audio system.
