Are you able to install applications  on ipods

I have heard that it is possible to install programs and stuff on iPods. Is this true? If so, what kind of good programs would go for a mini.
I think I've heard somewhere that it is possible to actually install Linux on an iPod.

Yes, you can install a version of linux for the ipod. It will not void your garanty, since it only changes the softwareon your ipod. You can change your ipod back to its original state by restoring it.
From the ipodlinux.org site :
"Just got off the phone with an Apple representative. He said that the official 1-year warranty issued from Apple is a hardware warranty. He also said that in the event of a software failure, all they would do is restore it, and send it back. In the event of a hardware failure, they would repair or replace it, and since installing iPodLinux on it doesn't require opening it and tampering with the hardware, it is still covered by the warranty. See iPodLinux:Copyrights for more information."
Another firmware available for download is Rockbox which I don't know very well, but seems more for audio experts. Try this link for more info

I don't know about any applications you can install on your ipod without having ipodlinux, but there are alot of applications out there that you install on your computer that can enhance your Ipod.
podsites are interesting add-ons for your Ipod as well. They're basically mini text files, written kinda like a simple website. You can read them on your ipod. For example, I carry hundreds of drink recipes with me on my ipod mini. try a search on google.
I hope this answers your question

    Only if it was purchased on the App Store. Otherwise, read the software license that came with the DVD.

  • WHEN YOU PURCHASE RV SHOWS FROM ITUNES ARE YOU ABLE TO PUT IT ON A DVD AND WATCH ON A REAL TV?

    When you purchase a TV show from itunes are you able to put it on a DVD to watch on a real TV?

    Sorry, but no, you can't. The content owners won't allow Apple to allow that feature. You can back up your videos, but you cannot convert them to any other format. If you want play video/movie content purchased from the iTunes Store on your TV, you'll need to connect your computer to your TV or use an iOS device or iPod (one with video out) or an Apple TV.

  • Applications are updating but cannot install Application Manager?

    Applications are updating but cannot install Application Manager? Each time I try to open Application manager it tries to install every time.After installing several times I was able to finally see the problem. It says it cannont install because some Adobe program is running. I donot see anything Adobe running except for Application Manager in TaskManager.

    Ok, here is what the box that comes up says:
    We've encountered the following issues:
    Other instances of Adobe Application Manager are currently running which must be closed before installing this product. Please close or wait for them to complete.
    I checked control panel and only see the CS6 Master suite and Adobe Help Manager listed, not the Application Manager. Before I reinstalled I used The Adobe Clean tool to remove all programs and all but this one installed fine.

  • Does logic 9 from the app store have everything that you would get if you were to buy it in the store?, and are you able to upgrade to studio later on?

    Hi
    Logic Studio is not available anymore, so unless you can find an "old stock" copy somewhere, you will never be able to upgrade in the future.
    Logic Pro 9 has all the content from the Studio box available for download, with the exception of the 20G of Soundtrack Pro content. Soundtrack Pro is no longer available at all.
    Logic Studio also contained several other applications: Mainstage, Compressor (available separately from the AppStore), Waveburner (no longer available), plus some other utilities.

  • With the latest version of itunes, are you able to search your library by purchase date?

    With the latest version of itunes, are you able to search your library by purchase date?  My prior itunes software had Name, Time, Artist, Album, Genre, Rating, Plays and Purchased.  With Version 11.0.3 of itunes, 'Purchased' is not a tabbed option to sort.  Can this be added?
    Thanks.

    Hey jeffwcincy,
    Great question, we simply need to check "Purchased Date" from the View Options menu.
    In iTunes 11, click the "View" menu and choose "Show View Options". Located under "Stats" is the "Purchase Date" option.

  • On closing Photoshop CC, I am getting an error message on screen that read's "Selective Palette error: no element found at line 1. Are you able to assist with this problem?

    Can anyone shed some light on this error message I am getting upon closing Photoshop CC
    I am getting an error message on screen that read's "Selective Palette error: no element found at line 1. Are you able to assist with this problem?

    Same issue here in WI and for me it was at 6:36p CST.
    I'm changed my password, removed iCloud from my phone ... tried 3G and WIFI with no luck. I also cannot check it on my Mac or iPad. I was able to get contacts and calenders back on my phone but no mail yet.
    Did the whole Apple support thing and apparently I'm part of the 1%
    EDIT: Question: are all of you former MobileMe users as well? Just wondering because I know there were going to be some changes as they completely move MobileMe over to iCloud and drop the "extra" services. I just can't remember if it was just a single cut off date or a series of dates. THAT email is stuck in my iCloud folders.

  • HT3209 If you buy a movie on the IPad in HD(720p) are you able to download in 1080p resolution? Or do you have to buy the 1080p or is there even such a thing?

    If you buy a movie on the IPad in HD(720p) are you able to download in 1080p resolution? Or do you have to buy the 1080p or is there even such a thing?

    As far as I can tell, yes. I purchased an HD movie on my old Apple TV 2 (720p) and just upgraded to the Apple TV 3 (1080p) and it displays 1080p on the info sheet and plays in that quality, so I have a feeling the same should go for you with your iPad.

  • After purchasing the 9.99 plan and you decide that you do not want to use it anymore, do you use loose your photos?  Are you able to save them your hard drive and such?

    But all the adjustments that you apply in Lightroom, if you do not export to a rasterized format, will be inaccessible.  You'll still have your catalog file, for if you want to re-inlist in the future, but it won't do anything for you without Lightroom.  The same thing will go for Photoshop files like PSD, but obviously if you save to standard image formats you'll be fine.
    It's one of the issues that keeps me away from the plan.  Not being able to edit individual files in PS is one thing, but Lightroom is a photo organization system.  I don't want to rent the system I use to organize 10s of thousands of files.

  • HT204088 Are you able to view iTunes purchase history on an iPad?

    Are you able to view iTunes purchase history on an iPad? I am looking for purchase price as well.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    The level of information that you seek is available in the iTunes app on a computer. You can view the invoices for your entire purchase history for both the iTunes stores and the Mac App Store from there.

  • How many computers are you allowed to install cs3 Production suite on?

    how many computers are you allowed to install cs3 Production suite on?

    >install it on an indefinite number of computers?
    You can put the install disc in 1 or 2 or 2000 drives... but that doesn't mean that the activation will work on more than two at a time
    Since activation is required to use the program... you are limited to 2 installs at a time
    As has been discussed in other threads, you must DE-activate one of your two allowed activations before you may activate on another computer
    PS - I think I have also read in the forums that there is some limit to how many times you may activate and deactivate and activate again (no, I don't know the number... I just remember that there was some discussion of such)

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you make backups in iCloud, it stores your three last backups. Older backups are deleted and can't be recovered.
