Has anyone heard of Ipod Linux

You can configure your first generation/ipod minis to emulate the workings of a ipod video.

"Even so, the chances of software causing actual physical damage to any hardware device is slim to none."
It could very well cause hardware damage to the hard drive, screen, or any number of components if the specifications for operating that component are set improperly.
Here are some examples provided by Rich Fleming in another Linux thread;
"For example, you can easily destroy a CRT monitor if you improperly set a refresh rate.
You can also render a many flash based devices completely useless if you improperly load firmware on them.
In fact, the PSP had an issue where some bogus firmware updates were floating around the net. An unknowing user would try to flash their PSP with the wrong firmware and basically "brick" their device. No amount of firmware reloading would help it."
So... yes. Software can break hardware.

  • Has anyone heard of an ipod warping and the screen on the inside shattering?

    i left my ipod in the car to charge on my car charger and it wasn't very hot last night but when i tried to listen to it this morning my ipod would only give me a white screen and it was warped into a v and the screen on the inside looked shattered but the outside plastic was fine...has anyone heard of the ipod nano doing this?

    Yep I have one bought as a Xmas gift and warped as well and had it in a Griffen Survivor case.  Brought it in and the would not honor their Warranty. If people make enough noise and there are enought reports on this we might get somewhere but til then your stuck with a broken IPod.

  • Has anyone heard of having a virus on your network that prevents the uninstallation and installation of iTunes??

    Has anyone heard of a virus on a network that prevents the uninstallation and installation of iTunes thereby preventing use of any apple product such as iPhone and iPod classic?

    To Turing test 2
    Here is the exact wording - I took pictures with iPhone but cannot download them.
    'The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile devices was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes try to repair this for you?' Yes
    'The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile devices could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes if you wish to use these devices' OK
    'The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2324'
    Then the loading bar moves backwards.
    The weird thing is this happens on my Dell laptop which only last week was wiped and everything rebooted and reinstalled. This PC problem was happening though before the laptop problem.........

  • ITunes no longer loads after updating to Windows 8.1.  I have tried every corrective step I've found on the web (reinstall, copy files, change permissions, etc.) nothing helps.  Has anyone heard if Apple is working on fix?

    Itunes does not launch after updating to Windows 8.1.  I've tried every suggestion I can find on web (reinstall, copy files from other directories, change permissions, etc.).  Nothing works.  At best I can get the licensing agreement to show and then nothing.  Has anyone heard if a fix is in the works?

    Hi 3backpacker3,
    It sounds like you are on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. If you are having launch issues, you may find the following article helpful:

  • Has anyone heard definitely that Apple has stopped supporting anything but IOS 7 for FaceTime?

    Has anyone heard definitely that Apple has stopped supporting anything but IOS 7 for FaceTime?

    No such announcement has been made.
    From the various posts on the forums, it seems users on various devices and versions of iOS are having issues, even those with iOS 7.

  • Has anyone heard anything about 2.0.1?

    I've read some reports that the folks from BGR claim to have found Apache server logs making reference to 2.0.1 but not much else. Has anyone heard anything more definitive on the topic?

    Likewise, no problems with 2.0. Yes, there are a lot of posts about problems. There are a lot of sick people in hospitals, also. That doesn't mean that the entire population is sick. If more than even a tiny percentage of the 6 million iPhone users had problems with their phones these boards would shut down from overload.
    This is not to say there are no real problems, but that it is a small minority that has them. People with no problems don't go to message boards just to say "I have no problems".
    I'm not saying the problems aren't real, but rather than wait for Apple to produce a 2.0.1 that might or might not fix the specific problem you are having try to do a little troubleshooting. Even it it's an Apple problem you can probably fix it yourself.

  • I'm having the same buffering issues that other users are having when I try to send a short video from my Iphone 4S to my Apple TV.  Has anyone heard back from Apple on this bug ?

    I'm having the same buffering issues that other users are having when I try to stream a short video from my Iphone 4S to my Apple TV
    Has anyone heard back from Apple on this bug ?

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Has anyone returned an iPod for a gift card

    Hi everyone. Apple was kind enough to return my 3 week old refurbished iPod video so I could get a new one. Now I am iPodless! I was planning on getting a new iPod right away when I got my Gift Card. Seel, I bought the iPod using a gift card. Now they are saying it will take 2 weeks to get the gift card! This seems a little crazy to me. Has anyone returned an iPod for a gift card who can tell me how long I should expect it to take? Where do they ship the gift card from? I sent my iPod to somewhere in California, and I live in California. I don't see how it could take more than 2 or 3 days. Maybe I am missing something? The return policy says they send the gift card within 2 days of receiving the iPod. I'm sure someone has done this.

    Your post is confusing.
    Apple was kind enough to return my 3 week old refurbished iPod video so I could get a new one.
    Do you mean they let you return it and get your money back?
    Not sure what you mean by a gift card?

    Sorry to hear of the issues you are experiencing, StephenjCrane. We definitely want to make sure your work email is working. When you try to access your email, are you receiving an error message? Are you using the default email client, or a third party application? Do you know if other coworkers are also experiencing the same issue?
    Just in case, please try a wipe cache partition as this can help stop a number of issues.

  • 01/06/12 I am waiting to have movies in the cloud. Has anyone heard anything??

    I have bought a lot of movies from Itunes and lost them when I had to reinstall Windows 7. I did not take the time to make a backup and I am hoping Apple will put movies on the cloud. Has anyone heard any recent news about this and doesn't Apple realize that people would buy more movies if they didn't have to worry about losing them??

    First of all - if anybody did know - they could not discuss it on this site since I'm pretty sure they would be violating a non disclosure agreement with Apple - if somebody actually knew. Any other knowledge would just be rumored or speculation and that is also prohibited on this site.
    Not being able to redownload purchased movies has nothing to do with Apple not wanting to offer the feature. I'm pretty sure that It has to do with the movie studios not wanting to grant the rights to download the movies again at no cost. It really is a decision that must be made/approved by the movie studios.

  • Has anyone heard of the ucs blades crashing, like all of them, when/if you put esxi 5.5 into LACP?

    our VM guy here was trying to use LACP to solve an issue with ESXi and vmotion. He was on the phone with vmware and when it came down to putting the one blade he was working on in LACP the vm ware tech said that he would not do it because it would crash all the blades? has anyone heard, read or seen this? we are using ucsm 2.1.3.

    ok, i talked to our vm guy some more and got some clarity. he stated that the vm ware techs told him that when they activate the LACP on vsphere 5.5 that it will drop all the hosts on the blade (much clearer than all the blades as i stated before). 
    so what we are looking for is 1. proof of this statement. 2. if true, is there another option available that does not include dropping of the hosts? the documents from vmware say at the bottom minimal network disruption, so what is the delta for that? my idea of minimal disruption is no loss of hosts and a few lost packets. 
    im good with a bit of spotty network connectivity while the system converges after a change but i wont complain if it does not drop anything.
