I have an Apple iPod 30 GB.....
Posted By: Chele on 2008-12-06
In Reply to: Want to buy DH IPOD. Can anyone suggest brands? - I'm confused. Any help will be appreciated.
and I friggin LOVE it! I've had it for about a year or so now. My stepson has one as well. I use mine everyday while I type for work. I bought a Bose speaker dock. I've got like 1,800+ songs on this thing and I haven't even used up 1/4 of the memory on it. I bought a cable that plugs into most new vehicles so I can listen to my iPod in my vehicle.
My brother has a Zune MP3 player. He seems to like his as well but I don't know much about that brand. I just know I love my Apple iPod and my Bose speaker. The Bose speaker sounds awesome and you can take it outside for parties, etc. I is small enough to put on my desk for work without cluttering it up. Also, when I have my iPod on the Bose speaker....it charges the battery on my iPod.
You can buy cheaper iPod docks than a Bose one, but I really like my Bose!

Your comment about an old HS bad apple -
made me laugh, reminds me of a guy I went to school. He used to sell T-shirts at concerts (the fake one's, not put out by the performer/band); was high most of the time; now he is a copyright attorney - talk about ironic.

Pumpkin and apple pie
And my mother-in-law makes a cherry cream and chocolate cream pie to die for. We go to my parents every year and my mother does all of the baking.
The Apple Does Not Fall Far From the Tree
I agree with you, Unhappy Camper -
There is little accountability in today's youth as a whole. The kids that are responsible, that know the consequences and live accordingly are the minority. Teens in the military are taught accountability and responsibility if they don't already have those attributes courtesy of their parents.
Interesting article I read in my hometown paper about an underage drinking party where over 25 kids were arrested for illegal possession of alcohol. One of the cops interviewed said out of the 25 parents that had to come and pick up their children, only one, ONE, told their child they got exactly what they deserved and that consequences would result. The others were mortified that their kids were being held, humiliated, and treated like criminals, then berated the cops for having nothing better to do, etc. We wonder why there are problems? The kids want the privileges of being an adult, but not the responsibility, thanks to mom and dad. One cop summed it up precisely. He said when he was a teen, he and his friends did not fear getting caught by the police, they were more afraid of getting caught by their parents.
As a result of such parenting, or lack thereof, it would bother me to see the drinking age lowered. If they don't hold their kids accountable, how can we by allowing the age to be lowered?
What a sour apple you are! It was new to me and probably new news to sm
others....Don't spoil it for others!
I also forgot to add that I got the Mcintosh Apple one!
I even got that one in a car jar because it smells so good!
Apple, the whole board knows you are not a fan of "religion." I have sm
read many of your posts against such. That is fine. Your life. But, the person running for this great country must stand on moral principal and the greatest form of morality and ethical value and behavior is completely written in that wonderful book I follow called the Bible.

that sounds great, with apple juice,
but would you give me some idea of temp to cook at, and how long it might take to get soft? Do you wait til its done to add cinnamon and brown sugar? God bless, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
IPOD
My daughter has the 30gig IPOD with video and shes loves it and her brother has a shuffle which he equally enjoys.
She has added all the CDs she used to carry around everywhere with her to the IPOD as well her friends share music with her. Her grandparents aunts and uncles send her Itunes gift cards so that she can purchase videos (0.99 and up) and such and download them as well as whole cds which she can purchase to download for $9.99 and they cost me alot more to actually buy and then she will burn a copy to save in case of loss.
Also the IPOD gives me peace on long trips because each has their own music and I can set the radio anywhere I want.
SUGGESTION If you order your IPOD directly from apple they will engrave for free (whichs helps if it is lost) as well as ship for free and you can also purchase an extended warranty. BTW the new shuffle is extremely affordable at 79.99 if your child is like my son and only has a few CD's but if she is a musci fiend like my daughter you will want to get a larger one. Also you can purchase accessories from ebay and other places for a fraction of normal prices.
HAVE A GREAT XMAS
It's on my iPod, but...
It's mostly a lot of 90s pop and alternative music (Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Goo Goo Dolls, etc). I think I also have some Eric Clapton and Elton John on there as well!
iPod
About four years ago I received my first iPod as a birthday gift. I hadn't asked for it and didn't know why my husband thought I'd want one, especially as I had a really nifty portable CD player. I tried to get that iPod to work, but the iPod and my PC just would not play well together. In the heat of techno-stress (the sort of stress that only comes from not being able to get tech things to work properly), I had a bona fide tantrum. I was ready to throw the iPod into the trash. My son, however, after laughing at me for a while, helped me out. I have no idea what happened, but I am now on my second iPod (moved up to a video) and am hoping that hubby gives me an iPod shuffle for my b-day today, because it has no moving parts, and I want to use the shuffle for jostling workouts.
I love my iPod(s) and think that the iPod is the greatest invention known to mankind. LOL. I found that my iPod works best with iTunes. If you ask iTunes to open when your iPod is connected, the program and the iPod will greet each other and talk like old friends. Also, check that you don't have any other programs, such as RealPlayer designated as your default audio player on your computer. Sometimes, another audio program will open at the same time as iTunes, and that just confuses the iPod. The iPod will work much better with iTunes, since they are made for each other.
And once you get the iPod working, check out the podcasts at the Music Store on iTunes. Podcasts are fantastic little radio/video programs on just about every subject imaginable.
Good luck with it! Once it's working, you'll love your iPod.
iPod
I have an iPod too, and I love it! I have everything on mine from Bach to Metallica and everything in between. If yours plays movies you can use Quicktime to down load movies from DVD to your iPod. Great for long car rides or waiting rooms with the kids.
The stuff is costly by SoFla standards too, Apple.

Just had to tell you that yesterday I bought the apple cider vinegar s/m
tablets for severe unrelenting hot flashes. I felt bad all day yesterday and was hoping it was not due to the pills. I only took two because of that. Went to bed early and today I have had a total of 2 hot flashes so far and it is 12 noon. I would have literally had dozens of terrible hot flashes by now. Thanks to all of you who shared your thoughts about ACV and for the dear poster who told me it was available in pill form. I honestly think this may be my answer. I feel like a new person and pray this continues. I can't believe the improvement after taking 2 tablets yesterday!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Anyone have MP3/IPOD stuff?? sm
i'm thinking of getting an MP3 player so when i walk i won't have this bulky CD player in my pocket. i know you download music on it, but can you take one of your own music CDs, put that music on the computer and then download that music off the computer into your MP3? did that make sense? just thought i'd see if anyone here knew how that stuff works. thanks!
I have an IPod Nano.
Yes, you can record songs from your CDs. I also have an adaptor for my car and a home stereo you attach it to so you can play the music out loud. I really do not use anything else for music anymore. I love it!
An IPOD cover. nm

Thanks - mine's not an Ipod though- would (sm)
would your computer not even recognize it as a mass storage device?
Love my Ipod too
Do you have the plug in adaptor so you can play it out loud in the car and the home docking station to play out loud while home? Got to really hate buying entire CDs just for a couple of songs and then the pain of having to skip through all the songs I didn't like. Then started making my own CDs but oh what a pain that was. This is just SO neat. Love it!
I have the iPod video
I have lots of movies on mine!
Help -- I got an IPOD shuffle and
I don't know how to get the music from playlist to my IPod.
Can you help me out? ');>![](http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/sowhat.gif")
IPod envy
It kills me, but I cannot justify spending the $$ on an IPod when my curtains are blowing in the wind through my 30-year-old rattling windows and other miscellaneous home improvements that need to be done. Yup, the CD player is big and awkward and it eats batteries. I am waiting for my son to get whatever new and improved IPod exists and then he can give me his old outdated one!
Glad you like the name!
No problem. Don't get him an IPOD. nm

If he doesn't want an iPod, why are you getting it?
Is it your idea that he'd like one?
A few years ago when iPods had just come out, my husband bought me one for my birthday. I didn't want one, and I he knew nothing about them. It sat in it's box for about a month, and then I finally used it. Well, that was it. I became addicted! I now think that the iPod is the greatest invention known to mankind. Heck, as far as I'm concerned, NASA could have saved the trouble of going to the moon, because the iPod is better. LOL!
I'm just joking, but I really love my iPod. I eventually got a video iPod and I also have a shuffle. I like them both. I really enjoy podcasts, which are like radio shows produced on just about every subject you can imagine. I have enjoyed learning about new things and even taking Italian lessons on my iPod. I also download audio books along with music and travel videos.
I like my shuffle because it has no moving parts. I take it on hikes and runs and use it when I work out. They are now about $50. They're very simple. You simply load the audio and the machine plays it for you. You can't select songs or see any info. The video iPod has way more features, and you can even watch full-length movies on it. I've also loaded photos and can carry those with me. Of course, it has all the audio features of music. My son has an iPod touch which he seems to like. He's an engineer, and he likes gadgets. LOL. The nano is still available, and they are a nice step in between the video iPOD/touch and the shuffle.
Ick, DD got a candy apple at Rocky Mtn Choc. Factory & it had a worm in it.

My favorite thing for iPod -
My daughter's best friend bought her a cassette tape attachment that you can plug in an iPod to in the car and play it over the cassette player. It was just $10.00 at WalMart, and between her iPod and mine, we never need to listen to the radio again!
I have the 60 GB iPod video and love it
and have tons of albums and videos on it. Some of my favorite ones are Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Oasis, Coldplay, Goo Goo Dolls, The Fray, Dave Matthews, etc. I always take my iPod to the gym with me. I sometimes listen to my it in my car also since the stereo in my car has a plug in for iPods and other MP3 players, but I usually just listen to my XM satellite radio while on the road. I love their new Starbucks channel on the XM cafe.
I have an 80 gig iPod video and love it
I couldn't live without mine!
recently got an IPOD video - how do
I organize my music on it? I recently added Christmas music, and instead of taking it off, I wanted to put it in its own folder for next year. Does anyone know how to do that?
got my IPOD - what are your favorite downloads
trying to think of everything I want to put on mine - so far - everything from Creed, Joni Mitchell, Paul Rodgers, Sarah MacLaughlin, Peter Gabriel, and the theme to "Saving Grace" - Everlast - I LOVE that song!
Son wanted an iPod last year...
He wanted one really badly but I just couldn't afford to spend that much. I ended up buying a Sony Walkman instead. It had a bigger screen, twice the memory and has just as many features as the iPod for half the price. He loves that thing, never leaves home without it. Now the only problem is finding accessories to go with it. It can hook up to any speaker system, it just uses a regular headphone/speaker jack but there are so many accessories out there specific to iPod that the Sony won't fit directly into the holders, have to use the speaker/headphone jack instead.
I guess it all depends if he's an accessories kind of person (which the iPod is the better choice since it's the leader in the market for accessories) or if he just wants a good MP3 player to carry around with him, then the Sony is perfect. Also, if you take a look a Zune, you can order one with a custom lasered cover, which is a pretty neat detail.
Want to buy DH IPOD. Can anyone suggest brands?
xx
If he wants IPOD, it is brand specific. sm
find out which one he wants and get him that one. They are the best, and especially if he wants an IPOD.
any ipod savvy people out there??
My ipod just bit the dust and I just purchased a new one tonight. When I tried to sync Itunes to my new ipod I wasn't able to do so, as the sync option was grayed out. I am going through severe ipod withdrawal (an entire WEEK without it!) and I just can't seem to figure out how to sync itunes to my new ipod. Is there a brilliant genius out there who can help me with this? My daughter and I would be eternally grateful!
i am guesting and will probably make an apple pie since my poor sister makes HORRIBLE pie crusts. LO

I thought of an iPod, but he already has one and because he lives in the city, the air gun
It's such a quandry trying to buy for a teen! I really don't want to just get him a gift card. "Auntie" really wanted to do something memorable. He's getting older and he's just not that little bitty guy anymore! 
I have that song on my iPod and listen to it when I'm working out

:-) Birthday Girl - Mine is not an Ipod - LOL!!! sm
Sorry...just giggling over here. Maybe when I take this one back I should get an Ipod instead ;-)
...and iPod things adds a whole other dimension of terror to that
