My iPod touch (1st gen.) wont turn on!:mad: I had charged it the night before and during the middle of the day I had used it, perfectly fine, then, it wouldent turn on! I had thought it was out of battery because I left the music playing. However, when I got home and charged it on my computer (Windows) it shows up in iTunes and says its fully charged! I tried holding the power and home buttons for a while but it still wont turn on!!!

When I sync it to my comp. it makes the little *beep* sound, but thats it. Grrr!!! I have no clue whats wrong! It has the 2.2 software and was working perfectly fine prior to this. I am sure I did not hit it (it was in my pocket when I found out, I usually put it there) and no water touched it. The screen looks fine, nothing breaking and i did not Jailbreak it as well.

...any suggestions?:(

Price: $9.99

Description:
The ultimate tool for the serious geocacher when solving multicaches. This buddy will remember every clue found and will calculate any derived clue or new waypoint for you. Waypoints can be formula's or projections. Also the final cache formula will be evaluated the moment all clues are found and entered. As a bonus it will record you parkig spot so you'll be able to return to your car. Integrates with Geopher Lite (separate product) for navigating from waypoint to waypoint. Calculated new waypoints can also be shown on the Map (when internet is available). But you can also use a separate GPSr by manually entering the calculated result in such a device. To get an idea of the functionality, have a look at the demo screencast at the support website.

br /What it doesbr /br /This portal is a database that includes audio files showcasing how to pronounce a name the way a native speaker would. Such a contribution is actually far from insignificant, as any person who has to deal with foreigners on a daily basis will tell you. Just imagine the impression a PR officer causes if he gets a name completely wrong and you will quickly realize a service like this will attract more than a fair share of users the world over. br brThe actual database spans territories ranging far and wide, and you can always request that names which are currently missing be added. The database itself can be browsed in two different ways, too: by given name and by surname. As it is often the case nowadays, a cloud tag is part of the premises and you can see if you spot something familiar straightaway. br brAt the end of the day, this is a free service that caters for a real need in the globalized times we are moving through. Check it out for yourself by following the provided link and see how it can help you.br /br /In their own wordsbr /br /“Have you ever picked up the phone to call someone, only to realize that you didn't know how to pronounce that person's name?

Hi i have a 17 g4 powerbook with a dead logic board and I now would like to try a little modding with it. The idea is to buy a cheap digital photo frame, take it apart and atempt to connect it to the screen of the powerbook thus giving me a 17 screen which i can mount within a proper frame. Trouble is.....I dont have a clue how to do it or if it is even possible/viable:confused:. If anyone could shed any light on the matter I would appreciate it.

cheers,

Appledrone

h4Keeping the balance of power in-house/h4 pA few years ago, I was talking to a quite senior chap in a well known IT outsourcing firm. “Trouble we have,” he said, “is that we’ve got all the good people.” Seeing the flummoxed expression on my face, he went on to explain. “It meant there was nobody left inside the organization to work with, who had any clue what we were doing.”.../p
