My iPod history is full of sadness and disaster... I have always tried to love my Pod to my best ability, and count it among my treasured possessions.. However whilst my love has remained steadfast, my iPod has not. I have been the owner of four iPods in as many years - tradgedy has struck each time mercilessly. Even before a Pod has played its final sad song, it has pushed my love to the limit for months on end.. I was on the brink of heartbreak when last week my current pod left me for dead... Travelling in Argentina, I had no chance of rescue and even after years of experience it seemed nothing could be done.... Until you.
MethodShop, I thank you. From now on, I know whenever i hear the painful cry of a fellow Pod-er I shall save them from sufferance and say the name MethodShop with pride.

im sorry, but your whole spill on having a broken screen is pretty dumb and franklin pointless. if the user has a guarantee then it would be they way to go but they would already know it. you should be showing people how to purchase an lcd online and replace it. thats an easy and cheap way to get around the problem. that is something tht will actually be a benefit to your users. sending the device in and paying to have it fixed by the manufacturer is pretty much common sence.
and as you said. noone is going to pay over 100 bucks to fix a 100 dollar pda.

My IPOD was frozen on DO NOT DISCONNECT and it would not charge or be recognized by my computer. I tried the methods APPLE suggests and nothing worked. MethodShop told me to hold dowm my "Menu" and "Center Button" at the same time for 10 secs. Worked like a charm. YOU ROCK!I was getting ready to ship it in for service

prevents viewers from downloading files off their site. But there
are ways around this. Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to
rip video files off YouTube.com and convert them for your Video
iPod.
After such a high profile career spanning over 3 decades, Hasselhoff has partaken in many a cheesy photo shoot. In Hoff's defense, most of the embarrassing photos below were taken during the 1980's or in Europe. That almost provides a loose excuse for most of these photos. But many of them are still very questionable and a few actually are quite disturbing. 
Want
to upgrade the RAM in your
Mac Mini? You can definitely save a few bucks by buying a stripped
down Mac Mini and upgrading the RAM yourself. But before you
can install that extra RAM, you'll need to take a walk down to
your local hardware store and grab a couple putty knives.
Need
something to watch on your iPod or iPhone? Here's a tutorial that
explains how to use a program called Handbrake to rip DVD's
into iPod compatible MPEG-4 video files.
Framing Hanley have certainly come a long way in a very short time. First formed in 2005, the band posted demos of their songs on MySpace.com. Two years later thier debut LP, The Moment, was released August 2007. Not bad for a bunch of guys barely out of high school.
Like to smack penguins with baseball bats? Should your Yeti
catch the penguin at the right moment and angle, you might just hit
one out of the park, or arctic continent.
Put
on an anti-viral panty liner and let the battle between the
spoiled rich blonde bitches begin! It's Paris Hilton, heiress

Caddyshack. 
Our interview with Ryan was just like his lyrics, honest and articulate. Ryan was very forthcoming and spoke openly about everything from his break with No Knife to his freaky cats.
When it comes to so-called heavy metal supergroups, a lot of them usually don’t last long. But for New Orleans’ Down – made up of Ex-Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, Corrosion of Conformity guitarist Pepper Keenan, Crowbar guitarist Kirk Windstein, and Eyehategod drummer Jimmy Bower – there has been something special that has kept them unified for over 15 years.
What’s
the point of downloading your favorite songs on iTunes if they
sound like crap on your computer’s built-in speakers? The
sound quality and volume these little babies emit, much to the
chagrin of my neighbors, is truly phenomenal.
Are
you trying to eject your iPod from your computer but the "Do
Not Disconnect" won't go away? Don't worry, this is a common
problem with a fairly easy solution.
So
Napster's gone pay, KaZaA is chock-full of viruses and spyware,
and you need someplace to get your file sharing on. Luckily
