Game programming for iPod

Hey, I was wondering if somebody could give me any info about designing games for the iPod. I'm an online games programmer and use Macromedia Flash MX to make my games. I'd love to develop games for iPods (including my nano), but I have no idea where to start. Links would be great.
Thanks,
M

Delighted to hear fellow interest in 5G gaming, ie taking the 5G to the next logical level and adding to its capability.
Try typing "Tetris" into this forums great Search box or look at thread http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1280223#1280223
More power to your elbow & good luck - it can be done.
PS - to those who just want to listen to music - buy a 4G
PPS - I do not want to buy a games console - this 5G can do it (albeit mini games)

How do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

how do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

Good luck. I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything. iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist.
In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files). You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order. Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song. You'll still have to double-click on each song.
Might be a good time to learn AppleScript It would also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

Video transfer programs for iPod

Has anyone heard of a program VuVideo for transferring DVDs, etc. to the iPod? Is Videomi good?
Thanks!
5G Video iPod Windows XP

For transferring from DVD to iPod, in addition to Videora Converter, you will need DVD Decrypter, which you can also get from the Videora site. The site has a page of instructions for transferring from DVD to iPod.
From the site's main page, click the "click here" link under Videora Converter. Then click the "Conversion Guidelines" link on the left side. Scroll down a bit to see the "DVD to iPod" section. In addition to all the steps involved, there are links right there to download the two pieces of software.

Flash card/Vocab program for iPod nano 4th gen.????

Does anybody know of a flash card program [like iFlash or flashmybrain] that works on ipod nano?
I have searched extensively and have found no programs that will export to a 4th generation ipod nano. Programs that used to work on the ipod have moved over to iPhone or iPod touch.

click on "iTunes Store", then on the left side of the screen, there should be a box near the top with:
Music
Movies
TV Shows
Music Videos
Audiobooks
Podcasts
iTunes U
iPod Games
Apps Store
listed. You want "iPod Games".

Is Apple going to have an exchange program for ipods? (IE Getting credit for old ipod for new one?_

Apple exchange?

Another alternative is various retailers will give you store credit for older devices that work and you can use that credit towards your new device. Best Buy and Amazon (in the us anyway) give store credit and Radio SHack may also.
I'm sure there are various internet services of questionable honesty, but there are at least a couple very reputable companies. Best Buy gave me $70 for my like new condition iPod 4, so it was almost like getting 30% off the new one.
Something you can look into.
If it's a non-functional device, then Apple's program could be your best bet since these companies want working devices that they can resell.

The second generation iPod Touch can be updated to 4.1, but with limitations.
The rest are still able to be updated to 4.3

Any other calendar programs for iPod?

I wanted a stand-alone calendar program, so I downloaded mozilla sunbird. Unfortunately, I am finding that it says 'Microsoft Outlook must be installed in order to synchronize calendars'. Outlook is crap. Is there any fix to get my sunbird calendars on it?

I am looking too. I would rather not use Outlook for anything. Support of Sunbird and Thunderbird would be awesome. I know Apple has ties to Google so Google Calendar and Gmail would be nice too.

Computer crash caused mismatch ofr I-Tunes Program For iPod Mini

A few weeks ago my laptop crashed and I had to reinstall iTunes At this point the iTunes won't converse with my iPod mini (4gig) unless I chose to overwrite all the albums I have in the iPod. How do I get to keep the music albums I have on the ipod and add the new albums in the library of iTunes?

Your iPod is being linked to a newly installed iTunes it's never "seen" before. What you will see is this.
Do not click 'yes' whatever you do.
You need to get the songs on your iPod back to the computer an into your new iTunes library.
Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer.
There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
If none of these methods work, try CopyPod which also supports the transfer of videos from iPod to computer.
Once the songs are safely back in iTunes and only then you can then click 'yes' to that message. That will now 'associate' the iPod with your new iTunes library and you can go on using it as you did previously.

Is there an effective data recovery program for iPod Touch?

I accidently deleted a video and I've tried a couple different data recovery tools and havne't had any luck. Has anyone ever been able to use something that like that and if so what did you use? I'd even be willing to pay a little as it has sentimental value, but I'd like to have a first hand review saying it actually works.

iPod data recovery software support Windows based operation system with all Apple iPod models such as iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, iPod Mini, iPod Touch, iPod Mini. iPod Recovery software restore all songs, photos, pictures, images, music & videos files from corrupted, formatted, deleted or inaccessible iPod
drives.
