Restoring the iPod’s Factory Settings

Sometimes things just stop working! I know, this could get really annoying, but it’s important to know that when everything else fails (reseting, refreshing, and so on), your last resort it to restore your ipod to its factory settings.

But it is VERY IMPORTANT to remember. Restoring your ipod will ERASE all the content you have on your ipod! So make sure it is well backed up in iTunes, and that you can sync all of it once the ipod is restored.

Restoring the ipod’s factory settings is very similiar to updating the ipod’s software and done from the same window. Check out the updating software step-by-step video for more instructions.

Well, things are happening on the iPod Touch fronteer. Although some had described the iPod Touch as an iPhone minus the phone, it seems that things are changing with Skype-like planned applications for the iPod Touch.

iPod Classic & iPod Nano Review

It looks like Australia is finally getting its share of the new ipods. Here’s an interesting review about the ipod classic and the ipod nano directly from “down under”.

What I would like to know is how they got those amazing battery numbers in their tests?

The ipod nano played over 31.5 hours of audio and 6.5 hours of video! The 80GB ipod classic lasted 45 hours of audio and almost 10 hours of video!

It’s interesting because you also hear some complaints about the ipods’ battery life. I think I’ll have to check out this one a bit more…

I recently found these great photos of the ipod touch. This guy took pictures of almost every feature the ipod touch has. Almost like making an ipod touch manual but only with pictures.

iPod Touch Instructions

The most exciting new feature in the new ipod touch is its internet connection and applications. If there is one good reason to look for new and updated ipod touch instructions, this is it. You’re literally holding the internet in the palm of your hand!

Let’s start with my favorite:

the safari browser. You can obviously surf to any site and set either google or yahoo! as your default search engine. But the true beauty is that even “big” sites look great on such a small device! You can double tap to zoom in, or you can check youripod touch instructions on how to use pinch to zoom in or out. It is so cool! They really got me with that one!

And what’s internet today without videos and youtube? With a dedicated button to youtube, you can easily access the most popular videos on the net, and of course, your own personal favorites. Just rotate your ipod touch and watch them in wide screen!

Downloading music directly to your ipod touch is another feature I consider a big advantage. You can search, preview and purchase songs without using the full iTunes software on your computer. However, you might still find yourself going through your ipod touch instructions looking for help on connecting to wireless internet networks, something that is irrelevant to most people who work on their computer at home.

But whether we’re talking about new or old features, we always need to consider the user as well. That’s you. A feature can be “old”, but if it is the first time you’re using it, it new to you. So if you have a newipod touch, check out some ipod touch instructions. It could be the difference between having an ipod touch and actually using it and enjoying it. And believe me, there’s a lot to enjoy!
