This is how I had to get my ipods working when I bought a new machine. You have an iTunes account all set up regardless if you've bought anything, right? I would make sure that is signed in and try it again. Also there may be an option on the ipod itself somewhere when you select it to tie it to the iTunes as well. It's been a year since I got this machine.

I wish I could use something other than iTunes

IM+ has Skype chat yet I might have to get IM+ for Skype just to get calls. Beejive doesn't even have Skype support (yet; it's p2p versus client side for most IM services according to support, they're working on it) but everyone says it's better. I could buy Beejive and combine it with another (free?) app that supports Skype chat/calls with push notifications. Which one should I get?

How often do you you fellow Touch owners have this conversation: Me:  Person:  When did you get and iPhone/How do you like your iPhone?! It's not an iPhone, it's just a Touch. *blank stare* An iPod Touch? It's like the iPhone, but without the phone. That looks like an iPhone, not a iPod! Edit: I can understand why people are confused, but I get this CONSTANTLY. It's just annoying. ChronoBasher fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Dec 20, 2009 |

Is there any company that makes a usb wall adapter like this apple one(http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB352LL/B) thats not so expensive, yet still about that small? That one is $30 which is ridiculous for a power adapter, but all the other ones I have seen are a lot bigger. They have them for less than $10 on amazon, but apparently they are all sketchy ones that got recalled/blow up your ipod. If I have to ill pay the 30 cause I really like the small size of that adapter.

Well, I got an iPod Touch today and I find that it's firmware 3.1.1. Is there a good resource for jailbreaking this firmware, because iPodtouchfans seems to focus on the 1.x firmwares in their FAQs.

All you need is this http://blackra1n.com/ Just plug in your touch, run blackrain, and you are jailbroken.

Oh poo poo, the iPod touch fans site tells me 8GB iPod 3Gs at 3.1 cannot be jailbroken right now. gently caress! Edit: I keep looking at loving old information like an idiot. So apparently it will be tethered but I "won't lost any data." Does this mean if I install emulators and what not to it, and have to re-jailbreak it, I'll still have all those apps installed? Why would I need to re-jailbreak it then? Nickoten fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Dec 20, 2009 |

The tethered jailbreak means if you turn your iPod off, then when you turn it back on you will get the Plug->iTunes screen, and you wont be able to use your iPod until you: -Re-jail break or -Restore through iTunes Re-jail breaking brings your iPod back with all your apps. Restoring, from what I understand brings back your iPod, but without any of the jailbreak software and without your music? I'm a bit hazy on the iTunes restore since I never do it.

I've got a touch 3GS, I just don't turn it off. When they say you need to 're jailbreak', that's not quite it. All you have to do is run blackra1n again. It doesn't install blackra1n on your touch again, nothing is changed on your touch at all. Just keep it charged and there's no reason to turn it off, battery usage is very low in standby with wifi off.

Can anyone recommend a good free avi to mp4 converter for Windows? I had one a while ago but lost it when my hard drive failed, and I can't remember what it's called. I've tried google but they are either trials or poo poo. The one I'm using now gave me a really low resolution and poo poo sound, and also introduced strange frames into the film I was watching, so that occaisionally I'd see a photo of a grinning retard.

Handbrake is a pretty good converter, and has presets for iPods.

It's just the generic term for iPod products now, I think. Also, it's not like Apple markets the Touch name nearly as much as the iPhone. I'd say the ranking of importance is probably: 1) iPhone 2) Nano Distant 3rd) Touch 4th) Shuffle, if this still exists. 5) Classic

RipBot264 is pretty good, too, if Handbrake doesn't offer enough options/flexibility.

I'd say the ranking of importance is probably: Actually, since I write about Apple news, I should say that the Touch is very important to the company. It sells like hotcakes, and its main purpose is to get people who won't pay for a phone plan to use the App Store. There wouldn't even be a web browser on the Touch if it hadn't been needed for mobile iTunes. The Classic is definitely at the bottom of the list though. It's almost guaranteed that Apple will introduce a 128GB Touch this year, and when it does, you can probably kiss the Classic goodbye. I'll be very surprised if the company launches something like a 250GB Classic.

I hang out with normal people, and I should say when they think iPod's they think of the iPhone or Nano. When I say I have a Touch they go "oh, yeah" and remember it exists. I don't disagree that the Touch sells, but I think people walk in planning to get an iPod, expecting to get a Nano, and then having to be told about the Touch. I think the Classic can always have a spot if Apple wants it to. It's the barebones option, lots of storage in a less sexy but cheaper package.

got tired of not being able to listen to my touch with my nice set of cans, since even on full blast the ipod cant get em up to a moderate volume level. decided to try out a tube headphone amp. i'm not a discriminating audiophile with money to burn, so i got something pretty inexpensive. hopefully it will sound alright. $45 ebay special

I was sortof interested in getting the FiiO E5 amp, tiny and a design ripoff of the clip style ipod shuffle, so it wouldn't be in the way. Surprise, surprise though, the touch actually puts out a bit more power than my old player and I don't need it with my current earphones.

The more simple a circuit is, the better it sounds, which is why even most of the really pricey tube headphone amps don't have EQ pots either. My 3G touch is loud as hell through my $15 headphones, but through my studio monitors its really weaky and tinny sounding.

Ah, sorry, I meant the touch not the amp. I'm sure the amp is quite lovely, I just thought going tube for it was a bit overkill since its not really like, audiophile quality gear. Like i said though, I am pleased it's louder than my last one, I had to max out volume on my good headphones to get to a good level, 75% does it on the touch.

Having just received an iPod Touch for Christmas, I have one question(as of now). What does everyone recommend for the best recording program for the iPod Touch? Along with the Touch I was gifted a little microphone that plugs into the headphone port, and I merely browsed some of the recording apps. Is one better than the other? Do the recording apps for the iPhone work for the Touch? Any help is much appreciated!

Not sure what you're recording, but FiRe (iTunes link) is probably the best all-around recording app (it's not cheap though, $10). If you're planning on recording music or something, FourTrack is worth a look.

Dunno if this is the best place to ask this - I don't have an iPod myself, but I got my mom a Touch for Christmas. She loves it, but shes wondering what the best kind of iHome is. Or whatever you call it, one of those things that you dock your iPod into and it plays through a speaker system. It doesn't have to have any fancy features, just something you plug an iPod into and it makes music. No real preference for Apple-made or 3rd party. What is the best quality I can get for a lowish price? $130 is the absolute highest price I can pay but I'd prefer to get something more inexpensive if that's possible.

I'm going to be using the app for recording some lectures and if at all possible, recording some jazz gigs that I play at. Is FiRe better for the latter of the two, or is it good for lectures too?

FiRe's good for recording just about anything. FourTrack's really meant for what the name implies: recording your band with a virtual four track recorder. If you primarily want an app for recording lectures and whatnot, it might be worth giving Voxie a look, since it's a pretty nice app and only $2. It could definitely record live music gigs, too. Really, it all depends on the quality of the mic you have. What mic will you be using?

Right so I've managed to break my 32 gig touch that I've owned for less than a day because I am a retard. Ran blackrain, but for whatever reason decided to go ahead and do the hard reset thing (the holding down the two buttons thing mentioned in the OP) a couple of minutes later (after blackrain installed fine and everything) and now my touch refuses to Restore. When I start iTunes it prompts me that my iPod is in Recovery mode and I need to restore, and I do. Everything runs fine (Extracting software, verifying restore with apple) up until I get to the step "Preparing to restore" my touch screen displays the Apple logo and a little progress bar but nothing ever loads and it eventually iTunes spits out an unknown error at me, 1611. Finally, the screen reverts back to the picture of the USB cable with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo. Is it pretty hosed? I purchased it from Best Buy and got a warranty package through them, should I try and return it? (Probably without mentioned the bit about blackrain?)

Noise.io has the option to record your output to WAVs, and NLog Synth will have the same when the next update arrives. IMHO, these are the two best synth apps available for iPhone OS.

Some of my apps do that on occasion, and I know the weather channel app refused to work if i told it it couldnt use location services to determine where i was. I let it figure it out and turned them back off afterward and it was cool again.

I googled itunes 1611 and this was the first hit: http://www.hackint0sh.org/f127/45850.htm Disregard the first post about the battery that would be suicide but there are other possible fixes in there. Also there were a lot of good leads on the first results page. I find google to be a pretty good search engine.
