Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Desert Dancer Date: 22 Oct 10 - 05:56 PM Battling the Earbud Blues - from the David Pogue's Technology column in the NY Times today (sorry, not musical blues, though you could write some...): "Do you have trouble making iPod earbuds stay in your ears? Does the least bit of exercise make them fall out? "Do you suffer from crippling anxiety because you're the only one in the room who can't manage the simple act of wearing earbuds?" He's got some answers. ~ Becky in Tucson |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Bobert Date: 07 Oct 10 - 06:40 PM Well, yeah... That's exactly what I'm gonna do... Maybe Radio Shack??? Yeah, I know... Radio Shack sucks but that's about all we have close by and I'd have 'um for Saturday for the trip to Richmond and then on to NC... |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Amos Date: 07 Oct 10 - 01:11 PM Go to Fry's or some such place, bring your iPod so you can check the jack will fit, and get you a pair that make you comfortable. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: wysiwyg Date: 07 Oct 10 - 01:09 PM nonononooooo.... The first thing to do is to adjust the ear-opening size. Ream it on out. P-Vine will probably be more than glad to help. :~) THEN invest in a series of expensive, different earbuds, headphones, jumping beans, etc., like the rest of us. I like the kind that screw right into my brain, best. Gets the hearing loss started more quickly. ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 07 Oct 10 - 12:05 AM Damn, I posted a while ago but it didn't stick. My son uses a Sony Sport headphone, one that goes over the ear and has a little clip that goes behind each ear, not a wire over the head. He hates the buds. The Sony one is about $20 at Fry's, and there are a few others out there also. I use an over the ear one from Maxell. Buds are too big for my ears. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Amos Date: 06 Oct 10 - 10:51 PM Bobert: Any Apple store and lots of on-line spots have alternative earphones for your iPod. Here are some. No problemo. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Bobert Date: 06 Oct 10 - 09:03 PM Well, ol' hillbilly has it down and loadin' that iPod up with all kinds of stuff but... ...here's the rub... The iPod camw with a couple of earplugs... One has a R (for right) and the other a L (for left)... I mean, I understand that left-right stuff... What I don't understand is how them things sposed to stay in yer ear??? The L-shaped... Actaully, more like the end of a golf club (driver)... The big part is too big to get into the ear so they kinda hang on the flap part of the ear but fall out easially??? That won't do!!! Any better headphones that actaully, ahhhhh, friggin' work and don't fall out every time ya' move yer head??? B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Bobert Date: 18 Sep 10 - 09:41 AM well, well, well... Looks as if I - well, not exactly me - have gotten the I-Pod registered and ready to put songs into... Yeah, it took my neighbor to do it but I'm kinda ready to try loading songs by myself... So far, he loaded 2 "Son" Thomas songs into it... More later as the P-Vine and I are going to spend the day off the farm as a reward for bustin' our butts for the last 2 weeks getting our house ready for pics to go on the market (maybe there will abother thread on that in a few days)... But, I quess I can officially say that I'm now an I-Poder... B~ |

Looks as if the ol' hillbilly is slammed until Saturday night at which time I will take the cute little thing and this thread and hook it up and see what's what... BTW, Michelle... Look under the passenger seat on yer car... That's where everything that is lost lives... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Bettynh Date: 09 Sep 10 - 02:06 PM Your ipod can connect to any device with a microphone-in socket. If you need an adapter for older sizes, Radio Shack has them. If your car has a cassette slot, there's an adapter for that. Otherwise in cars, you're stuck with an FM broadcaster thingie that hopefully won't conflict with local NPR stations. If you're taking a long car trip, you can get a charger that fits into the cigarette lighter socket. There are some rules for transferring music, especially music you buy from the Itunes store. They can only be copied to disc a limited number of times (I think I was told it's 7 times). Audio books from Audible.com are also blocked - get a program to transfer Itunes or Audible books to mp3s and the problems go away. I'm not sure how Itunes for Windows looks and acts, as I'm on a Mac, but if I want to make a CD I have to remember that Itunes only shows the "Burn CD" button for playlists. You can't just pick an album from the Music file and burn it. You have to make it a playlist first. On a Mac, simply clicking on a music file will load it into Itunes. I'm not sure that happens with Windows. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Amos Date: 09 Sep 10 - 12:07 PM From the iTunes help file: Adding music and video to iPod, iPhone, and iPad You can set up iTunes to automatically update the music and video on your iPod, iPhone, or iPad when you connect your device to your computer. If you want more precise control over the content you add, or if you want to use your iPod with more than one computer, you can choose to manage your music and video manually. Your iPhone or iPad can be managed with only one computer, even if you manage your content manually. The first time you connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad, you choose between automatically syncing or manually managing your content, but you can change the setting any time your device is connected to your computer. To sync music and video to your iPod, iPhone, or iPad automatically: 1 Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device in iTunes (below Devices). 2 Click the Music tab and choose your options for automatically syncing songs and playlists: To choose your options for automatically syncing video, click the Movies or TV Shows tab. To start syncing, click Apply. iTunes uses these settings until you change them. If you sync multiple devices with different settings, iTunes saves the different settings for each device. You can change your sync settings any time your device is connected to your computer. If you choose automatic syncing, you can't add songs by dragging. To manage your music and video manually: Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device in iTunes (below Devices). Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos" (below Options). Select Music, Movies, or TV Shows (below Library). Drag songs, videos, and playlists to your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices). Before you disconnect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad, click the Eject button: If you manage your music manually, you can also fill your device with a single click by using Autofill. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is also a tutorial at http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/.

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Amos Date: 09 Sep 10 - 12:03 PM 1. Download iTUnes from the Apple website if you don't have it. 2. Insert CD into cupholder 3. iTUnes should ask if you want to import CD; say "ayuh". 4. iTunes will import the CD into iTUnes. 5. If the iPod is plugged in it should show up as one of the devices on iTUnes and you can drag the tunes from the library of music on iTunes into the iPod. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Bobert Date: 09 Sep 10 - 11:32 AM 10/4, Amos... I can get that far... It's stickin' a CD in the box and getting it into the pudder is the next step... |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Amos Date: 09 Sep 10 - 09:59 AM The iPod comes with a connector which has a USB plug on one end and a fitting on theother that plugs into the iPod. OR it comes with a stand that it fits to that has a cable to connect it to the computer. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Bobert Date: 09 Sep 10 - 08:29 AM I have recieved a PM from someone who understands my "special needs" and is willing to help... But I'll try what Amos said and see how far I get... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: JennieG Date: 09 Sep 10 - 03:38 AM I don't have one either, my walkman clone still works......suits me to listen to when I go walkies......and it has daggy l'il ole headphones that go over the top of my head because I don't find those weeny ones that you stick in your ears comfy. In fact they downright hurt. Cheers JennieG |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 Sep 10 - 12:32 AM I shopped around and found that the Sansa Fuze has the bells and whistles of the iPod (and is easy to navigate, unlike the incredibly slow and difficult ultra-cheap players) at about 1/3 the price. We're on our second set now (my son's was plumb worn out last spring and he borrowed mine, but got caught in a heavy downpour and didn't stop using it when it clearly needed to be dried out. . . ). Sansa Fuze 8 gig player. I use Windows Media Player to rip my CDs to the library (in the computer) and then from there "sync" or drag them to the media player (once it's plugged in and acknowledged by Media Player). Sometimes I just use Windows Explorer to move stuff around. Mostly I seem to use it for the FM radio. If I'm out driving in the pickem'up truck and hear a good story on NPR and don't want to wait in the truck for it to end, I pull out the mp3 player, tune in the radio, and off I go. So it is a glorified transistor radio. :) SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Amos Date: 08 Sep 10 - 09:36 PM 1. Plug iPod into computer 2. It will show up on the desktop 3. Doubleclick the iPod icon to open it. 4. In the iPod window that opens, there will be a folder for Music. 5. Drag your music files into that folder. If you ain't got no music on your 'puter: 1. Download iTunes and start it up. 2. Stick a CD in the puter's CD tray (the beverage holder). 3. iTunes will ask if you want to import the tunes from the CD. Say yes. 4. Repeat with as many CDs as you like. 5. See 1 above re iPod. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Bobert Date: 08 Sep 10 - 08:41 PM Ya' know what, Amos??? I loves you like a brother but sometimes I gotta take you aside and tell ya' that what you say might be easy to you but is like Greekz-to-meez... Like people come up to ya' after a show and say flatterin' stuff and you wanta say, "Oh, it's easy"... Of course, "its easy" if ya know how to do it... Everything that folks know how to do is easy... For them... Ain't all that easy fir me to load this critter with songs... Might of fact, until I get a step-by-step. I ain't even gonna try... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: ClaireBear Date: 08 Sep 10 - 08:38 PM Except the MINI (which is really a dressed-up economy car offering great mileage and perfect handling on my mountain commute), I don't have a lot of expensive toys either. That said, I am tempted to buy an iPAD. But only because of this YouTube video -- and even if I got one, I would probably never learn to do that with it ... so I'll probably just stick with my concertina. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Bobert Date: 08 Sep 10 - 08:14 PM Man, I'll get if figured out someday... Files and me don't see eye-to-eye... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Amos Date: 08 Sep 10 - 10:43 AM iTUnes is pretty self-explanatory once you have explored the interface for fifteenminutes. IT's pretty conveninet for centrally managing yourmany music files and albums. And it plays nice with the iPod. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: wysiwyg Date: 08 Sep 10 - 10:32 AM Got you the wrong MP3 player. Samsung's are better. :~) Get you one yet for P-Vine? ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 08 Sep 10 - 10:21 AM I once had a cheap version of a walkman. My next task is to sort out iTunes as Skarpi recently sent me an MP3 of his band. I've been given instructions, but ... sandra (who doesn't even have a mobile/cell phone) |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Ebbie Date: 07 Sep 10 - 11:32 PM I don't have an iPod either- heck, there are a lot of things I'm in no hurry to get - but I do a lot of recording and I have found with the headset, Leenia, that when I put the earpieces (NOT buds) in front of my ears and let the cheekbones conduct the sound I don't feel trapped. I wear glasses and I think that is the main reason that it gets actually painful after awhile when I put them on over my ears. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Bill D Date: 07 Sep 10 - 11:28 PM Several months ago, I got one of these (or here Mine was about $30 It plays for hours, records, shows pictures and is ½ the size of a pack of cigarettes. I-Pod? No thanks....can't afford the fancy stuff. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 07 Sep 10 - 11:19 PM I don't have one either. Remember Koss stereo headphones? Everybody was raving about the quality of sound you heard using them. I tried them and felt trapped. I'm pretty sure an Ipod would feel the same way. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: ClaireBear Date: 07 Sep 10 - 10:54 PM I don't have one, so you ain't last. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Amos Date: 07 Sep 10 - 10:34 PM Bobert: It has a little USB or Firewire plug that connects it to your computer (or it has a charging stand that does). When it is plugged into your computer, you open iTunes (download it from Apple if you don't have it yet). You can drag music directly onto the iPod or use iTunes to move music files onto the iPod. It's easier than you prolly imagine it is. Then you stick those earphones in your liddle earholes and push a button and it starts filling yore pore haid with musick. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: KT Date: 07 Sep 10 - 10:05 PM You'll love it Bobert! You can fill it up with hours of your favorite tunes and never have to get up to turn the darn thing over. Won't have to replace the needle, either! |

Subject: BS: Bobert Joins I-Pod Nation... But... From: Bobert Date: 07 Sep 10 - 09:53 PM ...okay, first of all, it tyook me a full 5 minutes figuring out how to open the plastic box so... ...this does not bode well fir me to ever figure it out but... ...seems that I know this guy who says he'll learn me up on it.... Man, I hope so... Be nice to listen to some tunes while I'l doin' other dumbass stuff, like bushoggin', 'er weedeatin'... Any one else I-Podin' 'er am I the last person on the planet to have one of these things??? B~ |
