iPodsLost and found, iPod shuffle reunited with owner – The Washington Post. Turns out that you can find an owner by their playlist. I wonder if detectives will be using iTunes information to track people down now?

Then you will need to go here to fix it. A pretty reasonable price to rescue the music and files from the device. My friend decided to buy this and I am going to see if that will help it sync to iTunes 10.5. I will keep you updated.

ipod: ipod only plays out of one ear – StumbleUpon. Nice solution suggested in this thread. Also one of the posters said that he got some aluminum stuck in the line-in port. So I suggested 5 ways to remove the aluminum foil:
