New Use for iPod

At the office today, I thought of a great new use for image capable iPods. Use the cover flow concept to view all my business cards. Hear that Apple?

There would have to be a way for everyone who buys an iPod to scan business cards, for that to be a practical and separate "feature." If you happen to have a way to scan business cards, just add the images to iPhoto or put them all into a folder, and set the iPod to sync with iPhoto or to that folder. I can even do that with my old 4th gen iPod (although the printing may to too small to read on that model).

  • Can the new keyboard USB be used for iPod connection for charge & sync'ing?

    I have never had an iMac..yet.
    Goon buy the new one soon, I was going to get the wireless keyboard but it doesnt include any USB ports like the wired version so because the iMacs USB are put on the back (shouldnt they put on in easy reach on the front?)
    Can the iPod be plugged into the keyboards and charged and synced?

    Get yourself a [Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port for Macintosh|http://www.provantage.com/belkin-f5u233-apl~7BELU032.htm] to prevent having to reach around to plug/unplug your devices.
    I have my keyboard connected in one USB port.
    Then I have my printer connected into the second port.
    Then a 7 Port Belkin Hub connected in the thrid port.
    Then all my cords for iPod, camera's and other devices are connected to the Hub.
    Then there's no need to plug/unplug anything but, the device to it's cord and flash drives into that top port.

    Mr McGarry,
    No one who posts here would be able to answer your question since none of us are in any way associated with Apple. We are all just users like yourself, helping out with technical questions.
    Apple doesn't like us to speculate about future software or product releases here on the forums, and in fact they specifically ask us not to do so here in the forum Terms of Use.

  • Can I Create A Hotspot With My iPhone 4 To Use For iPod Touch?

    I'm considering signing up for the tethering plan with AT&T.
    My main purpose would be to create a hotspot for my iPod Touch.
    I use my iPod Touch at work using Keynote.  I would like the ability to download my Keynotes via Dropbox on my iPod Touch.
    Can I create a hotspot with my iPhone 4 so my iPod touch would have access to the internet?

    Yes.

  • New use for Zinc 4?

    If Adobe let's Director wither on the vine, could we convert our .dir movies to Shockwave and create crossplatform projectors with Zinc 4?  I have not used Zinc, so I don't know exactly what its capabilities are.  So, my question is, could Zinc be a viable tool for "rescuing" our existing Director movies if necessary?  Or perhaps it might even be used for creating cross-platform projectors now, if needed?
    Maybe someone with some Zinc experience could enlighten me.  I have 30 titles that I market, and I'm a bit nervous about the way Adobe is treating Director like an unwanted stepchild.
    Thanks.
    Dewey

    The answer to your question is Probably Not. 
    Zinc is just a Flash wrapper.  So, if your Director programs are primarily swfs and you use Director for a few system hooks, then you could use Zinc instead.  If you do not use swfs much, or if you use Director for anything more complicted than file IO (Buddy API stuff) then it would probably not suit your purpose.
    In fact, I think that even in its current condition, Director is a better Flash wrapper than Zinc.  I have used both, and there are very few reasons to use Zinc over Director - even less if you know Director already and don't want to learn a new program.

  • New uses for an "extra" G3 Powerbook

    This may seem like a dumb question, but I have an "extra" G3 bronze keyboard Powerbook with OSX (Panther) running on it and I have no idea what to do with it. I upgraded last year to an iBook which I love, but I just can't seem to part with my first computer. What could I use it for now? I don't want to keep my music on there because it does not have a built in CD-burner like my iBook does. I just wanted to see what other MAC geeks would do if they had an "extra" laptop? Thanks!

    d-i,
    The website is: http://www.evological.com/evocam.html
    I believe a license is $25 and it works on OS 9 or OS X.
    You can do many things with the software and a webcam:
    1. Set up a webcam server -- I open a port on my network (I believe it defaults to 8080) and can view the webcam from anywhere via your IP address. There are many uses for this:
    I live in Illinois & was in Hawaii last week on vacation. I saw a couple of unknown cars in our driveway and called a neighbor -- they had some guests over and were using the driveway to temporarily park a couple cars. This past winter, I called my son at home and asked him to shovel the driveway -- I had to remind him an hour later when I checked and saw it was not done. We also used it when we had a new puppy to check up on her from work during the day when we were all gone.
    2. Motion Sensor: I already explained how I used it to e:mail me a photo when the Fed Ex man delivered a package. This is easy to do. You have a live video window and you use a "sensor" tool to draw any size rectangle on the video window -- you could have the sensor be the entire window or a smaller area (sidewalk, doorway, etc.). You can have multiple sensors in different places. You can also adjust the sensitivity level of how much motion it takes to trigger. You can add text to the video window (Front Window Cam) and add a digital clock so there is a time/date stamp on any photo / video saved.
    3. Events: Once you have it set-up, you can have it do different things if it senses motion: take a photo and e:mail it or save it to hard drive; start recording live video and save it to hard drive; play a sound file when it senses motion (fun if you have your computer hooked up to speakers/stereo). The nice thing with having the ability to e:mail a photo is you could catch someone breaking in -- even if they stole your computer/webcam, a photo of the thief will be in your e:mail in-box.
    We also had some trouble with a neighborhood teenager -- I pointed the camera across the street and set a motion sensor to record whenever there was movement on his driveway. Not sure of the legality of this, but we were concerned about damage to our property.
    I currently run Evocam with a Quickcam Pro 4000 and my PB G3 under OS X. It runs slow with the webcam under OS 9, but I have used an old VHS-C camcorder with an iRez Capsure PCMCIA card and this worked great. I like using the webcam better as it is much smaller (sits on window) and doesn't need a separate power supply. I have also used Evocam on my Powerbook G4 with my iSight webcam.
    Let me know if you have any other questions.

  • DOWNLOAD NEW GAMES FOR IPOD    "TETRIS"

    If only there were better games for ipod.
    Some sources say that they are looking to make new ones.
    Although they will probably not be good and just take up more memory. 30gb yeah right more like 27.5gb.
    Tetris would be nice though.
    Any other ideas for simple games?
    p.s. made you look!

    Bill - thanks for your feedback - although I do have a little problem with the logistics on your idea:
    Scenario - left hand holding Ipod for music, lap for holding newspaper & right hand holding 'java enabled phone'
    Q1 - with what do I press buttons?
    Q2 - how do I hold my coffee?
    PS - Saying iPod video is just for music + video is like saying TV is only for TV and not for DVD/Video/Photos/Games via consoles etc.
    PPS - I am new to Mac and wonder if this widening of iPod horizons to include mini-games is touching on a sensitive area......... anyway my only aim is maybe for Apple to look at the number of responses / views on this particular topic and maybe do somthing about it (we have the technology...)
    PPPS - For those who do not want games on iPod - it is not compulsory to buy any when they are (eventually) produced.

  • New use for old imac

    I'm considering an upgrade for my iMac G5 (1.6 GHz PPC) to a newer Core 2 Duo, and am wondering if there's some use for the old iMac besides door stop? Specifically, is there a way that I can use the old machine for backup? It has a newer hard drive. Thoughts appreciated.

    You can use it as a monitor for your new mac using an app called ScreenRecycler, or take it apart, throw in a big HD and like the other poster said, use it as a type of home server, or you can sell it, or you can donate it to a company that will refurbish it and send it off to less-fortunate families, or you can make a big shrapnel bomb, or you can.... well you get the idea. I would suggest using it for the monitor though

  • New use for an old G5 iMac?

    Does anyone have any suggestions on a use for an old G5 iMac? 
    We've since upgraded to a new Intel iMacs and MacBook, as well as iPads, etc.  but I'm trying to figure out how to re-purpose this still working if less useful machine?

    PowerPC will not live forever, but it still will live for a long time.
    Lots of people use PowerPC's for office work.

    There are also many other suggestions and videos out there. You can use it as your main machine still.

  • New user   for ipod 4th gen with click wheel

    I hope i'm posting this in the right place. My daughter purchased an ipod 4th generation with click wheel offebay, didn't come with software. So I downloaded I tunes off the net. was told the driver for ipod was included in Itunes? I'm computer illeterate, I appologize for this. I'm not sure, but I think I have 2.0 ports on my laptop, it's about l l/2 years old. windows xp I plugged the ipod into my computer after downloading itunes, and the computer doesn't recognize the ipod, a box comes up and says this.
    " one of usb drivers attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows doens't recognize it.
    I tunes does come up but there is no ipod recognized on itunes it's suppose to come up under devices on the left side of itunes, but nothing comes up. I can import music to my laptop using itunes, cannot put the music onto my ipod.
    I'm completely at a loss here, and really don't know what to do.
    The serialnumber on my ipod is 2CD44617K8 which I got off the back of the ipod.
    I also typed this number in the apple web site and it doesn't recognize the number either.
    I have contacted the ebayer this was bought from and he hasn't returned any emails and doesn't act like he wants to help in any kind of way. I'd like to make sure it's opperator error and not something wrong with the ipod.
    thanks in advance

    This is the wrong forum for your question, this area is for people with the latest iPod nano.
    You need to post in the correct forum and you will probably get more help.
    Are you sure you have bought a 'real' iPod, could it be a fake?
    Does the eBay seller have good positive feedback, it could be that the iPod is actually broken. Does the iPod turn on, can you use the menus, etc. You should be able to operate the iPod without any music.
