Hey everyone! iPod got the scratching blues? There may be a new solution!

Hey everyone. As basically the entire world knows, the new Fifth Generation iPods, along with the new iPod Nanos, scratch so easily, it's almost not worth buying them. Because of this, everyone is constantly buying scratch remover products, and multiple cases. But, there may be a new solution to this terrible epic! ColorWarePC.com. ColorWare is a trademark company that sells numerous Apple products, but with a twist; they're colored! Anything from iMacs, to iPods, to iBooks.
Now, obviously, that shouldn't be to any of your concern, as we're on the subject of iPod scratches. Well, ColorWare sells iPods, but with another twist. Any iPods bought directly from them come with an extra "X2" scratch resistant coating. According to their website, this extra layer of coating is strong enough that the average toss around in the pocket, or the drop onto the floor, will prevent any scratches whatsoever. For more information on this extra coating, go here: X2 Scratch Resistant Coating.
I myself haven't personally tested this new product, but it seems a success, and I felt the need to throw it out there, as this could solve many problems reappearing day after day on the board.
Hope this helps everyone!

Bump. (Trying to keep this out there, sorry.)

Should I up grade to a new phone? i got the itch! There is nothing wrong with my 8300

Should I up grade to a new phone? i got the itch! There is nothing wrong with my 8300 except for scratches. I am due for the verizon 100.00 up grade and the rebate. Is it worth to up grade? Is there a better black berry on the market like the one I have? i been waiting for the bold2 but whats taking them so long to release? how about the droid?I don't like those touch screens though . Thanks.

Hi,
You're getting the itch, too. I understand, there are alot of cool phones around the market. I can't wait for Verizon to get the 9650. I have the Tour now, but I think just to have a trackpad and more memory would be enough for me to upgrade. I haven't seriously looked at the Android devices yet, but I am going to give them a look too. I really don't know much about them to be able to comment either way, good or bad. I guess it's just a matter of looking around at all the features and deciding what to get. Also, looking and browsing through the forums for common complaints for various devices can help give you ideas of possible future problems you might run into. Anyways. Good luck.

I have ran the diagnostics test on iTunes and iPod. The diagnostic says there is an iPod, it is identified with the correct name, but it says there is no sync ability. What can I do? iPod nano 3rd generation. All updates are current.

It had not been used for awhile and most of the songs that were on there were gone when I turned it on. I was trying to sync to update the library.

Weeks, months, years? It's possible your battery is dying. Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.
Syncing Music to iPod

Last year I bought an I pad 2 without 3G. Now I wish I got the 3G, is there any way to get 3G installed in my I pad after I bought it?

Sorry, no. You may be able to obtain a MiFi device from your local celular provider to access the 3G network.

I already have an iPod with over 2,000 songs. Just got the iPhone. If I sync my new iPhone to my computer, will all my music automatically transfer to the new phone, or will I lose everything?

When you connect the phone to your computer, you can select the music you want to sync, all music, just selected playlists, just selected artists or genres. See this: Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386

Having synced my ipod, there are certain artists missing from the list on the ipod, but the tracks are there under the songs list. Any reason why and how do i correct this. Thanks.

We'll assume for now, that all the songs and albums in your iTunes Library are correctly labelled (dangerous assumption, by the way!), and that a Compilation album is one with songs by different artists. Unfortunately, the music industry (bless their little cotton socks!) often mark an album by one artist, that has a collection of their songs from old albums, as a compilation! iTunes doesn't think it is!
The missing artists will be those who only appear on Compilation albums. For example, if you have one song by Fleetwood Mac in your Library, and it's on a multi-artist Compilation album, then Fleetwood Mac will not be listed in the Artists menu. But, if you then import a Fleetwood Mac album (or even a Fleetwood Mac single) into your Library, then not only will Fleetwood Mac appear under Artists, but the song by them in the Compilation album will also be listed.
One way to sort this out is to remove the Compilations option from the Main Menu and the Music Menu on your iPod. To do this, go to Settings/Main Menu/Compilations and press the Select (centre) button to turn off the tick. Then repeat this in the Settings/Music Menu/Compilations.
You should now find the missing artists listed in the Artists menu.
By the way, I now routinely check all albums I import from CD into my iTunes Library. Before I start the import procedure, I make sure that Compilation CD is turned on (highlight the album in the import window and right-click/Compilation CD) if it really is a multi-artist CD - and off if it's a single artist CD. Once imported, I manually change the album info to; (highlight album and select ) File/Get Info/Info/Album Artist has "Various Artists" in the box. Make sure it's the Album Artist box, not the Artist box.

Yes, you have to carry the device if you want to use it.
and also why is there lots of different networks on my ipod which i can't get access without having a password?
Because there are many personnel wifi networks around. It seems that most households have one. The assign a password for two main reason;
- To not allow other users to steal their internet connection
- To help prevent outside users from gaining access to their computer.

My Installer now works properly on all .pkg files.

Music not appearing in iPod, but the data is there

I have a 30G 5thGen iPod. Had it for almost a year. Updated the firmware when it came out recently (a week or two ago). It's been working okay, but just today, when I hooked it up to my iMac, message popped up at the iTunes interface asking me to name the iPod etc -- like you'd do when you first get the iPod. Now the music and videos are not showing up (I can see the photos, games, etc, but no music at all -- no artists, songs, playlists, albums. Clock is screwed up as well). I go into 'Music/Artist" etc, and there's just nothing there. But the amount of data on the iPod is unchanged. The bar that shows the % of storage (Music-Videos-Photos, etc) is just solid orange, 'Other'.
So the data is there. The music and vidoes must be there. Why aren't they showing up in the iPod's screen?
I went through the steps: tried resetting it several times. Tried a new USB port. Tried resetting the iPod with the USB power adapter. Tried restarting my iMac. I have the latest software. I guess the next step is to do a 'Restore', which I was hoping to avoid.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Is there something else I can try before I do a Restore?
Thanks very much.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

It's just that I manage the iPod content manually, so I'll have to reload the music again manually. Kind of a pain that I'd prefer to avoid unless absolutely necessary.

Artist doesn't appear in iPod, but the album is there in Album list in iPod

Very strange problem.
I added an album to my iPod & it shows up fine in iTunes. The ID3 tagging is perfect.
Problem is if I scroll through the Artist list, I can't find the artist, but if I look in the Albums list, the album is there & can be played.
Wondering what the problem could be & if it can be fixed.
I also updated iTunes to the newest version, erased the album from the iPod & re-added the mp3s, but the problem still remains.
Any assistance/suggestions would be greatly welcome!

It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.

My iPod got stolen. Is there anything FROM the iPod I can get back? Warranty? Music? Videos?

Is it possibly?

do you have to set up an iCloud account on the iPod to get info back?

Hey everyone, i got a question to you.

When I am listening to my music, theres no picture of the actor or the album on my screen, but on my boyfriends iphone it is. So my question is, why isn't it on screen and how can i get it?

Yah when I tried to add multiple components without sucess I got rather confused here is what I tried...
I was making a non applet or a JFrame whatever you call them, so I made these two variables as class variables
MyOtherComponent me = new MyOtherComponent();
MyComponent mc=new MyComponent();
(I definded the components later on in the class)
I then wanted to display them, I did this in the class constructor which is called by main().
MyComponent one;
MyOtherComponent two;
JButton button;
me.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(40,40));
mc.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(40,40));
me.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400,400));
me.setVisible(true);
mc.setVisible(true);
content.add(one = new MyComponent(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
content.add(two = new MyOtherComponent(), BorderLayout.WEST);
content.add(button = new JButton("yo"), BorderLayout.EAST);
content.add(button = new JButton("S"), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
content.add(button = new JButton("N"), BorderLayout.NORTH);
I wanted to make a BorderLayout, and have two of my custom components in the layout but every time I try to run this mc is visible (the first component, and me is not visible...
it says me is not visible but i set it to visible clearly in the code, what is the problem..
dukes for this one
