ipod: ipod only plays out of one ear – StumbleUpon

Needle-nose pliers

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:

  1. Use a toothpick with some gum stuck on the end
  2. Bend a paperclip with a pair of needle nose pliers like a Leatherman
  3. Use the smallest screwdriver in a glasses repair kit
  4. Use two-sided tape and form it into a column by bending it on itself horizontally.
  5. Whittle a wooden matchstick into a fishing hook shape.

19 all time worst apple products

all time worst apple products. This is an interesting list. If you click on the photo you get the reason why it is on the list. Many of these I don’t agree with. The iPod for example had a high failure rate, but it was a bold risk and it only got better. Some of these should never have been released like the Apple III.

The iPod Saved My Life (via Finding Thin: Thoughts From A Fat Man)

This guy credits the iPod to helping him maintain a healthy exercise schedule. What a great use of technology to have a happier and healthier life.

The iPod Saved My Life When I was four hundred and fifty pounds, I couldn’t even walk ten feet without getting out of breath. I tried exercising by walking outside but just couldn’thandle it. I just couldn’t have it in me. One day I bought myself perhaps the greatest materialistic possession ever. It was the legendary iPod. Suddenly I was inspired.

Two solutions for No sound from speakers on iPad

Apple – Support – Discussions – No sound from speakers ….

  1. From Arctic Frost: After reading this thread (yes, my sound stopped working on my iPad as well) it occurred to me this was a problem with the iPad dock. I had just finished charging my iPad with the dock when the sound didn’t work when I turned it on. I came to this thread and saw the references to the iPod saying “dock connected”. So I put my iPad back on the dock and held down the power button for a complete restart.Whlah, my sound now works fine! Hope this helps the rest of you:)

  2. From Jameskkk: Guys I figured it out !! Same thing happened to me, I was listening to music on iPad while doing dishes, and it fell into the sink… Don’t laugh it’s true. I was so frightened because I couldn’t get the sound to work just like you guys (showing connector sign on iPod page) Then the funniest thing happened, i used a hairdryer and blew through the connector hole and then I see that ******* sound sign appeared again. It worked for me anyways just want to share this. I don’t guarantee it’s gonna work for everyone but at least mine did Hahaha
