First and foremost, as a general statement, performance of your iPod is dependent (to some degree) on the operating temperatures in the environment. ”Your iPod works best from 32° to 95°F (0° to 35° C).

I have always been interested in time lapse photography. We have all seen them, clouds rolling across the landscape, flowers opening, sunspots moving across the solar disk, and many more besides. There is a new application available called TimeLapse that allows you to take time lapse sequences using the 3 megapixel camera in the newly released iPhone 3GS. Continue Reading…
I recently upgraded iTunes to version 8.2.0.23 and had a real scare. After uploading and re-starting the computer (recommended after the upgrade) I attached my iPod Classic to transfer over some music, iTunes both locked up!
