Battery question for the mini

So I recently bought a 1st gen ipod mini from a friend. Great condition but I was kind of bummed to hear the the 1st gen only has an 8 hour battery life.
Could I buy a 3rd party battery that would go for the 2nd gen (getting around 18 hours of battery) and put it in a 1st gen? Or if I were to give it to apple to replace they battery, do you thikn they would give me a longer battery or one that has just 8 hours of life to a charge?
-thanks.

b Both the 1Gen and 2Gen Minis share the exact same battery.
The longer battery life of a 2Gen derives from two critical changes: a more efficient hard drive, and an imrpoved electronic chipset that manages power consumption better.
You cannot put a 2Gen battery in a 1Gen Mini and get any longer charge life!!!
i There is no such thing as a 2nd Gen battery.
That said, you can buy a higher capacity after-market replacement battery that will almost double your current battery charge life (for either the 1Gen or 2Gen). None of these replacement batteries are warranted by Apple - so ‘ya pays ya money and takes ya chances’...
See: http://pdasmart.com/products/AP39ipodpartscentermini.htm as an example. This is the largest that I have seen, but I'm not really looking at this time. Do a Google search for more like this.

  • Need help locating a wallet case for an Xperia T2 Ultra Smartphone that has a slot on the side for the mini-usb

    I realize this board is for Xperia tablets, but I don't see a board for Xperia Smartphones.  I do hope someone here can help. I have a Sony Xperia T2 Ultra smartphone.  I love the phone, but I purchased a case for it not realizing that the case doesn't have a slot on the side for the mini-usb connector, which means that I have to charge the phone with the case open.
    I called Sony accessories, and they don't seem to make a case with a slot on the side.  They have a very nice case, but again, it doesn't have the correct opening for the charger and you have to charge the phone with the case open.
    I have also searched several websites for such a case with no luck.
    Does anyone here know where I can find a wallet-style case for the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra with a magnetic closure (or some way of securing the case closed) that will actually allow me to charge the phone while the case is closed?  Please let me know.

    This is the only "question" I could extract out of your confusing post:
    "I want to know if it even can be done in Flash or would we need to use something else like PHP or Javascript?"
    It can`t be done in Flash alone you need php.
    With the experience level you already admitted to, I strongly advise to stay away from such a project, you will save you and our customer a lot of headaches, no offense.

    The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
    Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

  • I have a new email address and my old email keeps coming up on icloud when trying to update apps and i don't know the password or security questions for the old email. I can sign in with my apple id which is tied to another email but not itunes how to fix

    I have an apple id and it has my current email attached to it. however when i go to update apps it's asking for the password for an old email. I no longer have the old email and can't use it. when I go to icloud on my ipad it asks for the password for old email. it doesn't allow me to change the old email to current. when i go to reset it i can't remember the password or security questions for the old email so it doesn't let me go any further. How do I fix this? Do i need to call apple support?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

    Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
    When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
    I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
    However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
    So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
    Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

    One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

  • Can someone tell me if this is a good product for the mini?

    Go to this website (you have to copy/paste into your web browser):

    it's an external 80 GB hard drive for the mini, and the mini sits on top of it perfectly. do you think this would be a good product to buy if i get a mac mini with only a 40 BG hard drive? thanks and please reply! i'll appreciate it a lot! i promise i will!

    Sounds fine to me. However - the price is rather high. Pricegrabber shows the same product for $125-140 along with lower shipping rates.

  • Questions for the end users in Building an application.

    Questions for the end users in Building an application.
    Hello,
    I am assigned a project in building a CF application. As far
    as the business requirements, I have an idea from the MIS people.
    However, I have a meeting with direct users and I have to ask
    questions to add to my requirements. I am still a beginner in this
    but I need to ask questions.
    Can anyone give me tips? what basic / important questions?

    For starters,
    DO:
    Ask them to discuss what they want to do with the application
    Try to understand their level of computer literacy
    Keep your conversation non-technical
    Continue to interact with the users during the design and
    development process
    Try to identify a "champion" with whom you can interface as the
    project progresses
    DON'T:
    Use technical terms or discuss technical issues
    Talk down to them
    Promise delivery dates until you have documented their
    requirements and they have approved them

    Hey there,
    two questions for the october release update:
    1. We often use filmconvert in our workflow. Is it possible to send a sequence via Direct Link to SpeedGrade and keep and see the effect?
    2. Can I send  a sequence with some AfterEffects Dynamic Link pieces in it to SpeedGrade to grade the project or will the connection get lost?
    Thanks for your help

    All effects should come over.  No mention about Linked comps, though.
