View Full Version : Im such a hypocrite!!!!
DrNecropolis 04-29-2009, 12:09 AM I have always said I would never get an Ipod cause of my distaste for Apple...I trade some paintball stuff yesterday and got an Ipod touch...All I can say is WOW!
Only beef is that it plays a very select types of video format..No worries there though..I found a converter
cr500_af 04-29-2009, 12:11 AM Sellout.... :)
why the distaste for apple?
Im personally not a mac computer person, just cant control it right. but I think apple might be one of, if not the best run company.
I have an iphone as well, fantastic device.

glxtrix 04-29-2009, 12:14 AM I'm a huge fan of Apple products....not exactly how they price things, but that comes along with any large name company.
DrNecropolis 04-29-2009, 12:19 AM My big turn off with Apple is when I used to have a Mac there were no games for them really and the price is a turnoff also.. This Itouch is amazing though.
ITunes could be a tad more user friendly
glxtrix 04-29-2009, 12:21 AM The only thing I dislike about the mp3 side is once you sync it to a computer/iTunes, that's the only computer you can add/delete music from.
DrNecropolis 04-29-2009, 12:24 AM yup or it all goes bye bye.. I changed the name of the Ipod to my name and went to update it and it wiped it..I guess it thought I was trying to bypass copyright
I love my iphone, don't get me wrong.. but I would rather own an IBM/Lenovo over a mac anyday

You sir, are a dork!
I can't believe you succumed to the dark side. :boo:
Corigan 04-29-2009, 12:57 AM Oh no, another I fanboy! I work in an IT company so It seems like all the I fanboys love showing off their new toys. The day the Iphone came out there were email chains showing them off, ugh.

Smoothie 04-29-2009, 1:59 AM Hey whatever. It keeps my wife up long enough for me to see her when I get off work. Best investment yet because I get smooches out of it.
Gotta love that right?

Okay, that's just adorable! I knew I liked you. How sweet.
molson 04-29-2009, 7:42 AM Nifty interface, wife has burned through 3 in 5 years so they get no more of my cash. I totally agree with Lee on the pricing, but they have enough of a cult base that people a willing to bend over without lube to buy their products.
wbrown 04-29-2009, 8:05 AM I built Apple retail stores for 3 years. You could not chase me down and stuff an i-anything in my pocket.
The most egotistical, maniacal, unrealistic management approach I have ever seen from any company.
I have video of Jobs' tirades towards his designers, architects, and entourage in general that would convince anyone to forgo having anything to do with computers or electronics if there was no other choice available.
I can't post it online as I don't have the legal team they have, but would be willing to have private screenings in my living room.
Suffice it to say everyone that has seen the videos was floored and embarrassed just watching.
DrNecropolis 04-29-2009, 8:42 AM the only problem I am having so far is when I "sync" up a new movie it loses about 6 or 7 cds worth of songs..then I have to redo it and maybe it works maybe not...
And the Get Album art is either a bad joke or Im doing something wrong
stacy22 04-29-2009, 9:17 AM Count me among the loyal Mac fans. :D As long as they make computers and iPods I'll never own anything else but Macs.
NotiReef 04-29-2009, 9:24 AM I love my iPod....now I am looking for an iPhone :D
stickx911 04-29-2009, 9:28 AM Not the biggest mac fan here, but the Itouch is a great device.

DrNecropolis 04-29-2009, 9:29 AM Once I get all the album artwork...how do I apply it...sorry for all the questions
i used to dislike apple a lot then got an ipod and that changed quickly... but they are starting to tick me off again... pixels going out in iPod 60g and it is out of warranty... so not fair, waits till it is out of warranty, ugh... but they are good little music players :)

IMO
Well, you're no good to them unless you buy the new one. lol. Their products are targeted to people who go through electronics faster than toilet paper. Of course they never break because you only own it until the next version comes out.
Even Micro$oft gives their service packs away. But apple charges $100 and gives it a snazzy cat name and one or two must have new features.
</rant>
edit: I will admit, apples software updates overall are much more fluid that way (rather than nightmare-ish like xp>vista) and even after a couple new versions you're still below the cost of a new Micro$oft product.
Kirru 04-29-2009, 10:17 AM IMO

I know but h they did replace an old 30g version I had apparently cracked the screen for free, and the guy give me a 60g, the current one I have now... i would get a new one but I like to have a lot of memory and the touches don't have to much memory from what I recall...
DrNecropolis 04-29-2009, 10:19 AM So no ideas on how to apply album artwork?
Kirru 04-29-2009, 10:20 AM Dr, i didn't see that post, didn't feel like ready the whole thread... what is your problem?
DrNecropolis 04-29-2009, 10:21 AM I clicked the "get album artwork" under advanced on itunes and it downloaded them but I cant figure out how to apply them
stickx911 04-29-2009, 10:23 AM So no ideas on how to apply album artwork?
Sorry, I got off topic.

edit, oh, you already tried that...
Kirru 04-29-2009, 10:23 AM i have never had luck doing that, so i just go find the album artwork, down load it and apply it manually, though lately, iTunes has been doing that for me so no complaints yets... good luck :D
DrNecropolis 04-29-2009, 10:25 AM thats what I have been doing also..Just manually doing it... Only takes a few minutes
Acura_Rob 04-29-2009, 12:25 PM If you turn your sync to manual you wont loss any music or movie. You can also use anyones computer to get music. There's also a program where you can connect any ipod to your computer and take all there music and movie and save it into a folder for later use
DrNecropolis 04-29-2009, 12:32 PM I finally figured it out..I think..Now Im debating Jailbreaking it...lol
glxtrix 04-29-2009, 1:49 PM duit. you can revert back to normal very easily.
DrNecropolis 04-29-2009, 1:57 PM watched a couple youtube vids on how to do it... dont know of any apps or anything that would make it worth all the time to do...
Whats some good apps?
DrNecropolis 04-29-2009, 2:00 PM Although... I did see an Assassins Creed game for a jailbroke Ipod...
jmaneyapanda 04-29-2009, 2:30 PM http://www.guzer.com/pictures/coke_machine_pepsi.jpg
DrNecropolis 04-29-2009, 2:36 PM lol
DrNecropolis 04-30-2009, 10:36 PM Well I ballsed up and Jailbroke it with QuickPWN and added MIpatch to run IPA files..
Downloadinf Assassins creed now.. Give me some good things to add to a jail broke Ipod/Iphone
atreyu917 05-01-2009, 8:39 AM I love my ipod. But it's the original nano. Time for a new one soon!
Crowe 05-01-2009, 10:24 AM The only thing I dislike about the mp3 side is once you sync it to a computer/iTunes, that's the only computer you can add/delete music from.
Actually you can link up to 3 or for computers to one account. I share my account with my pc down stairs and my two laptops and transfer music in between the 3.
sailfish 05-01-2009, 10:43 AM I bought a mac computer this week I have joined you as well. :)

DrNecropolis 05-01-2009, 10:53 AM anyone have any "Must" have apps that are cool? I have like nothing on this one othere than 20 cds and a few movies and assassins creed
LorenK 05-01-2009, 12:55 PM Go to toucharcade.com
They have reviews on just about every iphone game that's worth getting. And if there's not an official review, there's likely a forum post on it. It's run by the same guy who owns macrumors.com which is probably the largest mac forum on the net (think RC for mac).
DrNecropolis 05-01-2009, 1:10 PM TY for the link.. trying to find some wild IPA files since I quickpwned it with Mitouch apps
Whats the installer for quickpwn do?
DrNecropolis 05-03-2009, 10:11 PM OK.. Im hooked.. I spent about 3 hours today browsing through the apps.. ended up with the stupid flashlight..lol
