My work streams free to air and some satellite TV stations over the network via SAP Announcements. Is there an app for the iPod Touch/Phone that can pick up those announcements and stream the video from them?

Beowulf LaGrange posted: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. You know you can't restart your iPod once it's jailbroken? You have to keep it on. Run blackrain again once you get to the so called Recovery mode and it'll boot back up. I had the same problem, except I was able to restore the original firmware. Curious if anyone knows of a non-tethered jailbreak solution is going to be developed? I know I'm probably being anal about this but I somewhat regret buying the iPod Touch since now I hate carrying two devices around. I'm on ATT too, it would feel much more beneficial to have the iPhone but I'm only putting out $15 a month due to a family plan as an extra $30 wouldn't hurt either. I don't know, it's probably the stigma that everyone keeps saying iPhone that, iPhone this and that there's hardly any iPod Touch love these days.

Ryvannis posted:You know you can't restart your iPod once it's jailbroken? Just so I don't look dumb, what is considered a restart? Because i've been doing the power button + home button method to restart on my jailbroken touch for a while now and it hasn't caused any issues or forced me to rejailbreak. This is on a 2nd gen touch. I honestly would like a iphone myself, but i'm not one of those people that is texting and calling people constantly (not at all actually), so I just can't justify it. I would have to be on a individual plan too, and those are outrageously expensive and you are trapped into a 2 year contract that makes the iphone just way to expensive to afford, even for the 8gb one. The ability to check the internet from anywhere is really great too, and almost justifies it, but I don't get any e-mail worth responding too or in dire need of checking outside of home either. Smartphones are an amazing technology, just who honestly needs this sort of access, outside of business use? I said come in! fucked around with this message at 11:16 on Dec 27, 2009 |

My girlfriend is having issues with her iPod Touch. Earlier she was using AIM on it then I sent her a link to something and AIM just broke on her. Now it won't load up correctly for her. It just shows a blank screen. She's tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it and doing a restore but neither worked. Any solutions?

This isn't a problem with a 2nd or 1st gen iPod. To be honest though, it's just that I'm so bothered by everyone referencing the iPhone. It would be a nice to have email and all that on the go along with the camera, gps and so forth. You know, since I'm paying $300 I might as well go the whole way, but then again there is always a cost to convenience.

I would not be surprised if in the next few generations of Touch we see a GPS and ability for data plans to access the internet anywhere, and then the only thing missing is the ability to call people. You can already buy devices that give this ability for your touch, PDA's, and laptops, but it's expensive right now. But yeah, I totally understand what you mean by how the iphone is the only thing really referenced. Smartphones are the big thing right now and Apple and AT&T is really pushing everyone to get on board.

You aren't talking about a Touch, what you're saying is that the Touch would be discontinued and the iPhone would be sold unlocked. It would be the exact same technology and would require the AT&T contract to have ended and Apple to not have signed an exclusivity contract with everyone else. Even then, you're talking about a product that will cost a few hundred extra, not exactly less expensive.

Godzilla07 posted:"Computers are an amazing technology, just who honestly needs this sort of access, outside of business use?" I really don't think that is the same thing. Your laptop or PC is one thing, but do you really need to check your facebook while at the checkout line in the grocery store? I think we are getting way to connected to the internet. People need to spend some time away from it for at least part of their day. It's not gonna kill you to wait until after work to get home and check up on the latest anime fanfiction porn. The internet will still be there when you get home. I just don't understand some peoples desire to be updated the second they get e-mail or whatever it is they want to be updated on. I understand your point with the camera, GPS and MP3 abilities, those are all useful. But most of the apps on the iphone are designed to fulfill peoples crazy desire to have information right this second. It just seems like it goes overboard. Anyways, this is all a really stupid argument anyways. I guess I can see why some people need this stuff. I'm a massive nerd though, and even I can live with keeping the technology at home. I'm just of the opinion that it doesn't really improve your life in any significant, meaningful (for most people) way that justifies the insane monthly fee and 2 year contract you're trapped in.

They suck for anything that requires typing unless it has a QWERTY and often those are mediocre QWERTYs. Call me crazy, but I'd rather have different things. Yeah, I want GPS, PDA, and a decent camera on my phone, but I don't expect it to be top of the line at everything, nor am I going to pay out the nose for it to be. I'd rather have a good camera for when I need it, a phone/iPod will never be as good, and I'd rather have a seperate MP3 player so I don't worry about my phone being dead because I listened to too much music. And you know what? I've considered switching back to a dumbphone because I can get away without GPS and my Touch does a great job at all the smartphone functions without a data plan (I live in a wifi-friendly area). I admit, the iPhone 3GS and Droid make me think that the all-in-one may someday do well, but until battery life can be figured out I'll always say total convergence is for suckers.

I'm not sold on the smartphone thing, so far it seems like people love them for the first few weeks doing everything showing how they get emails, GPS, cameras, movies, then it just degrades to having a phone with access to update your facebook. I'm not spending $70 a or whatever month for facebook. I pay around $8/mo just for cell phone access as it is prepaid. If they can get it down to $10 a month for unlimited everything, I'll spring. Till then I'll just be a grumpy subscriber who wants the world for free.

Ninja Toast! posted:I'm going to be getting a 64gb soon, and will be wanting to play with that smule ocarina thing after having fun with it on friends iphones. Anyone recommend a good external mic for that? It needs to have a headphone passthru or external speakers of some variety since it shuts off the built in speaker, and preferably is somehow held in place by the ipod (not on a cord, since you need to use your hands to play with that and cant hold the cord by your mouth) Does anybody know if there is any way to set up an ipod touch 3g so that the internal speaker is unmuted while headphones or a mic are plugged in? Or is there any other way around this- i.e. is it possible to still use the internal speaker while recording through a bluetooth microphone? I'd really like to be able to properly use I Am T-Paine, and the ability to do a conference call style thing over Skype might be very useful down the road. I'm loving my 3G touch generally, this issue is just a nagging annoyance that I'd like to resolve.

NES hardware has been out of patent for some time now. The roms are still a grey area, but the actual emulation of a Nintendo is legal to make and sell.

Are you talking about the one on Cydia? I'm amazed that people ask for money for applications on a jail-broken application... give people the tools to download stuff illegally and expect people to pay? And NES emulation on the iPod Touch is not so great anyway aside from the novelty of "hey, it's Super Mario Bros. on my iPhone!" It's incredibly hard to play with no tactile feedback for buttons being pressed, and especially hard for two button things like the B-Button Dash in SMB or jumping and shooting in Mega Man.

I'm sorry if there is another thread for this (the link in the OP requires archives), but are there any must have/highly recommended apps? I've got google Earth and a few games, but the stores are pretty massive. My ipod is jailbroken so app store or cydia/rock is available to me. Edit: Thanks for the links!

These are the two threads you want to hang out in; http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3204799 http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3224840 I agree with you about how it is hard to find the good apps/games. I wish the App store would break things down into genre's and categories and list apps and games based on what you've downloaded and bought. You basically need to find a app store fan site that you like and keep a close eye on it.

Apparently the solution is simply to uninstall blackra1n after that, and the phone will stay jailbroken. Anyone actually try this? I'm too lazy to rejailbreak mine (3.0 blackra!n not needed).

I've had my iPod Touch since this Christmas (my first ever Apple product), and it has been working fine until a couple of days ago. It's not jailbroken, and I just have about 15 gigs of music on it, a few free apps, and a few pictures on it. It started crashing/freezing/restarting while plugged in and syncing/charging. I didn't download any new apps or do anything weird right before this started happening. I tried restarting it, resetting it, restoring to factory settings, using a different USB port, using my husband's USB cable, and nothing seems to work. Whenever it's plugged in, it will freeze (showing the spinning apple "loading" circle thing) and eventually restart or shut off if I leave it alone long enough. It also freezes iTunes when this happens. The last time I tried syncing it, it gave me the error "iPod can't be synced. Unknown error has occured (-6999). It also used to show up as a removable device (a camera, I think) in My Computer and let me click on it to see a folder of saved pictures. Now when I plug it in, it doesn't show up like that anymore. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? It's still under warranty and I could get a new one, I just don't want to send it away and wait for a long time for a new one if it's something I could possibly fix myself. I tried googling it and looking on the Apple site and all the answers I have found have been "Restart, if that doesn't work, reset." Also, apologies if this is in the wrong area, I figured I'd ask here before starting a thread. tl;dr New iPod Touch freezes, how do I fix?
