Unbrick stories?? How did you get your Pod working again?

Have read and read about one bricked Pod after another. Perhaps a thread on unbricking would be helpful. How about responses from those who posted that they had "bricked" their Pods? Any solutions (aside from the obvious - don't upgrade to 1.1). Did anyone discover that a brick was due to something other than the 1.1 update? How are the "dead" Pods being fixed. Obviously there are problems, like the hiss and sound quality issues. But the ultimate problem is bricking. I am just curious as to what people are doing with their Classic Pods to "fix the brick." Any solutions??

Disk Mode lets you 'end' the 'iPod booting' circle (i.e. when your iPod keeps showing the Apple logo, then clicks, and starts the boot cycle again). As soon as the iPod starts this 'boot cycle', press the 'play' and the 'select' buttons at the same time for a couple of seconds.
The screen will turn white and you are now running the iPod in Disk Mode.
You can now connect it back to your iTunes, and from there run another synch, or restore the iPod, using the restore function in iTunes.
I hope this helps.

  • Professionals, how did you get your start?

    I know there are many people on here who earn a living working as professionals. I was just curious, how did you get your start?
    I plan to attend Ohio University this fall to major in video production within the Scripps School of Communication. OU is well known for their school of communication, but obviously just having a good name behind your major doesn't guarantee a job.
    What did you do to make yourself more marketable to potential employers? Any other advice that you have to share?
    Thanks in advance

    I started out as an apprentice editor on a feature film.  Got the job mainly because I fixed the director's assistant's computer during my interview.  Knowing how to use the Avid (thanks to film school) helped too. 
    I started at the bottom, and worked my way up.  Gaining knowledge as I went.  Apprentice editor, to tape vault manager, to post coordinator, to assistant editor, to online editor, back to assistant, then to editor.  6 years from the day I started apprenticing until the day I started editing a broadcast show.
    >What did you do to make yourself more marketable to potential employers?
    Learned the ins and outs of the edit systems. I could troubleshoot them if they were broken, and knew the workflows for multiple shooting formats.  Was able to make the decision on edit systems to use and workflows to employ when presented with the shooting format, and delivery specs.  I learned all that from on the job training, and trolling the web for resources.  And a lot of work on my own.
    >Any other advice that you have to share?
    Work your @$$ off!  If you think the job is below you, and act that way, you won't get hired again.  Don't think that you will start off right away as an editor, or DP, or director.  Starting out as an assistant is a great way to learn all that you need to learn to perform your job.  Because right out of film school, you don't know what you don't know.  But work hard, be dependable, and you will get hired again and again.

  • How did you get your first Flex developer job???

    Hi guys..
       I know it might not be relevant for this forum, but I am dying to know how you guys get your first flex developer job. I am actually more interested in your resume. What sort of skill did you guys put on your resume? Thanks for the reply....:D

    Started as a pure "Java/J2EE" dev.  Rebelled and added Flex to my skill set (since JSP is sin on par with 'AJAX frameworks'), started new project using Flex.
    In other words one way is to take ownership of a Java (or other) project, and force the bast... er, have your project team use Flex.   he he
    But this is the long path, of course.  To start off in Flex (besides the obvious of looking for it by name) you'd probably focus on UI design skills/experience and competing (but crummy and old) front-end technologies, and then lobby for the Flex SDK on any new projects that come along (assuming it's a good fit).  I suspect you'd have a tougher time if you're going into an organization which already has some late-generation RIA tech in use, such as Silverlight or GWT (bleh), but the ones still saying "JSP" or "AJAX" and any other associated legacy HTML-type technologies are soft targets.

    Yes in the sense many members who posted the question dont have the basic courtesy of closing their threads with proper comments as to which suggestion has helped them nor do they reward appropriately.
    did you already know all the answers by experience
    Yes definitely, only with the experience you can guide the members in a right path.
