How do you store/carry your headphones when not using

There are a lot of discussions on how to protect the nano. I am interested in how you carry your headphones. I sort of roll them up on my 4 fingers into a loop and put it away in my wife's jewel case made of cloth. Any better ideas?

A number of years ago, I'd taken my iPod on a trip to visit some relatives, but had somehow neglected to pack my earbuds. I ended up getting a new set of earbuds at an airport gift store. The new set came in a case that lets you wind the cords up inside itself. Ever since I came back from that trip, I've put my Apple earbuds in that case.
The case opens like a clamshell, and has center indentations for the earbuds. Place the earbuds in, then close the shell, with the cord dangling out the hole in the side. The top has a thumb rest, and you wind the cords up into the case. To get them out, I just open the case, grab the plug end and pull it out. The case is about 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter and fits nicely in a pocket.
I've seen other earbuds with similar cases since then.

  • How did you damage/break your headphone ja

    The problems with the headphone jack seem to be a frequent issue for Zen Micro owners. Is this a question of build quality or simply defecti've units?
    Those owners, who have experienced issues with the Zen Micro?s headphone jack, do you mind providing information on the following:
    ) How do you wear your unit's
    - Do you use the standard Creative cradle case?
    - Do you keep the unit in your pants pocket?
    2) What headphones do you use?
    - Do you use the standard Creative headphones?
    - Do you use headphones with a 90-degree (L) plug? (As per diagram)
    ..........|||============= Wire to ear pieces
    |......Creative.........|
    3) Was damage to your headphone jack down to user damage (ie you broke it accidentally) or standard use (ie normal daily use)?
    4) Did issues occur immediately or overtime?
    I can see how wearing the unit on your waist can be an issue, as when you sit or bend, your body places pressure on the jack. I know the current standard headphones are a straight-plug, most likely so they are a neater fit for the headphone remote. However I think a 90-degree plug would reduce potential dramas ? one reason is the socket is shorter, and is less susceptible to damage when pressure is placed on it (as it simply will turn).

    There has been no damage to the phone. I have tried four different head phones. When it started all i had to do was twist the head phone and the phone would lose connection. When that happens on the LG it completely stops playing music, turns the display screen on, and sometimes changed settings while in my pocket. I used compressed air to try to clean it and a paper clip. Shortly after it completely stopped working unless i held it in place which of course is horribly annoying. I use my phone with its million features and apps to basically make phone calls, text, flash light, and you guessed it, listen to music. Without music i have , literally, little use for this phone. Trying to contact customer service has been extraordinarily frustrating. I called the store i bought the phone and told the girl working that from what i read online, this phone suffers from this problem a lot. To me that means the manufacturer is selling faulty product that will knowingly break. And of all things, the head phone Jack? They've been around for how many years now? The girl working agreed with me that they break often and told me to remove the battery and put it back in. On a phone that doesn't allow you to remove the battery. Then she gives me a number i call that then tells me to get some other phone to call a different number which is not what i need. I need information on how to fixed or have it replaced. I had purchased insurance but when my card maxed the insurance plan was cancelled. I've had it for over a year so the warranty is gone. Now I have a phone that doesn't do the one thing i like it to do While employees admit to me they break often over the very problem i presented. Very frustrating to buy a phone, which by the way is really a great phone, that can no longer do what my 20 year old CD player can still do, connect to the headphone jack.

  • How do you solve the "Your disk could not be partitioned" error when partitioning your hard drive through Bootcamp?

    Where do I start to solve this problem?

    I have a brand new hard drive from apple after the old one failed, a new logic board and trackpad, so i doubt that it is a hardware issue.
    Backup your drive, erase your drive, restore your backup. Then partition for Boot Camp.

  • How do you Sync Cals and Contacts when not connected to internet?

    I Often take my macbook along with me to work. I cannot connect to the internet there. MacBook is set to use MobileMe. When I sync my iPhone 3G with my MB it wont sync updates I made on the laptop. When I go into the info tab in iTunes it states it will update by air. Is there a way to manually update these items when not connected to the internet?

    I sync two iPhones and an iPad with one iTunes library on the same computer and each device has different content. Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes. You can transfer the same music and apps to each device or different music and apps.
    Are you sharing the same Apple ID or iTunes account?

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • How do you back up your phone when the screen is broken and the phone is locked?

    My screen is no longer functional. I am going to take it to the apple store for a replacement byt I would like to back up my files first. When I try to do it my computer tells me I can't without the phone being unlocked. Is there anything I can do?

    Sorry. you don't. If you use the same computer you normally sync with, you would not be prompted for the passcode unless you set the passcode since the last time you synced it.

  • How do you store/download your projects so they burn with individual tracks

    I can download but there is no ability to switch song tracks. The CD just plays straight through with the number 1 (track) showing on the CD player. All of the songs play, but there is no ability to switch to track 2, 3, etc. Thanks.

    After bouncing your project import that audio into separate program called waveburner, which comes with Logic Studio. In there you can put it tract markers so that when you burn your CD you can have separate songs

  • How do you store all your video files?

    I am starting to wonder about space. I have a macbook pro that I put a 320GB drive in, I installed all my final cut content to an external 500 GB 7200RPM drive, and started wondering about how long until I need more space. I record video in HD so the files are always a few GB, I have a Terabyte external that I am going to save stuff on for now, as in footage I want to keep for later use.
    But I also work with a friend who does some at his place, so I was curious about Network storage. Anyone use that?

    Drives are cheap. Pick up a few and store on them. And remember that if you are still recording to tape just hang on to them and you can recapture anytime... no need to keep the files on a drive.

  • How do you get into your iphone when it is closed

    My iphone has been locked or something. Can you tell me how to get into it. In it, it says phone dissbled connect to itunes i have tried to go on itunes and have tried to find the solution but it is impossible to get in. If you have any idea what this means please write back and please tell me the solution.

    If it's disabled because you entered the wrong password too many times, you'll need to back it up and restore it in iTunes on the last computer it was synced with.  If you can't do that, see the other option listed at the bottom of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • How Do You Store Your Movie Masters?

    Hi all,
    I'm curious, how do you store your Movie Masters? Let's say you filmed an important Family event from a camcorder with a hard drive. You imported the footage into you mac and edited it in iMovie or Final Cut Pro or other app.
    Then what?
    Do you make a DVD?
    Do you save a DVD image file on the computer?
    Do you export a .mov or other format file?
    Do you delete the DV original files because they are so massive?
    Do you save/delete the iMovie or FCP master original footage?
    When do you delete the camcorder hard drive original (when you need the space)?
    What other approaches do you do?
    Which is the Master?
    How do you back up your movie?
    Thanks in advance for your opinions.

    Great question. I think the issue of backup is a important one, and one I always worry about since I have a lot of video footage that is irreplaceable.
    For back-up, it is helpful to define the risk you are trying to protect from.
    For example,
    1) risk of corruption in iMovie --> I might use Time Machine (but I do not because I have not had the issue)
    2) risk of hard drive failure --> I use SuperDuper! nightly
    3) Risk of theft or fire --> offsite backup
    Here is what I do...
    1) I back up my boot disk with SuperDuper automatically to alternate external partitions every other night so I always have two bootable systems. One is less than one day old, and one is less than two days old.
    2) I back up my original video files. For my Motion JPEG, VHS-->AIC, DV, and 8MM to DV, the EVENT is the copy I back up. For my AVCHD high def video, I back up the archive of the AVCHD, but I am not currently backing up the Event files, because I would need from 4 to 8 TB to back up these events depending on whether I made one copy or two.
    3) I use CrashPlan for my offsite backup. It costs less than $4 per month, and I seeded the initial backup to an external drive to minimize having to transfer video files over the Internet. I currently have 1.2TB of data backed up to CrashPlan, which includes my entire boot drive, and the files described in #2.
    4) All of the above is automated, so I don't have to think about it too much. If I have to manually do stuff, I tend to get behind.
    You have to consider the value of total multiple redundancy vs. the likelihood that 2 or three unlikely events would all happen at once. For example, CrashPlan could lose my data. My hard disk could fail. I could lose everything in a fire. But it is unlikely that they would all happen at once, except in nuclear war, in which case, who cares?
    I am considering adding Time Machine backup and some off-site backup of the Event files into the mix, but for now I am satisfied.
