[alex054739]

[jeffillinois]

"Over a year/year and a half, people start to notice the battery doesn't last very long, .... blah blah blah....." Ridiculous. Apple was kind enough to use some of the crappiest lithium Ion batteries in existence... I actually have a cell phone I bought BEFORE I bought my first IPod that I still use for an alarm clock (because it's LOUD,) and the battery still lasts 5-6 days. Meanwhile, I had THREE IPod batteries fail in the first two years, and two IPod's simply DIE! I gave up...

[stewie019]

[punchpic66]

When G4 Tech TV actually did something helpful instead of flood television with more garbage.

[AlexanderRadulov]

I hear you. I could sit around and watch Tech TV for hours just learning stuff. Now it's just geek pop culture.

[bkisme]

techtv/zdtv was the original, insightful station.

G4Techtv was the mutation period

G4 is the end result- Pathetic, horrible crap. Only remnant is Adam Sessler who was already an idiot to begin with...

[instigator0660]

Amen brotha.....

[cimboom]

[coondogtheman1234]

[someone31988]

Man, miss the old Screensavers and the days of TechTV... And look, there's a younger, non-millionaire Kevin Rose in the background.

[dmoney0015]

dont know how to use an ipod... so if something breaks, that means someone doesnt know how to use it.... ? u make no sense at all

[rokinjosiah]

then how would you find out things...

[zaks6]

dude i must admit apple got us pritty screwed when it comes to ipods, yeah they r beter than mp3s but they only work for like 2 years then they die, but i was fortunate enough to make my 2 gig 1st gen ipod nano to work for 3 years! but its rlly dieing now and im in despirate need for another

[racerx124]

I've had mine about 4 and a half years...and accidentally kicked it across the road twice

[q2cme92]

And your also full of shit! lol... iv had my Ipod video for about 2 years and 3 months now... still working perfectly, works as if its just come out of the box

[91726]

"but you can do it, cause you are a greek"... LOL

[dmoney0015]

screw apple, i bought 4 ipods in 1 year, havent got to use an ipod for a full 24 hours without it breaking :(

[su47a]

screw you

[dmoney0015]

no thanks... why would you say "screw you" after someone says ipod sux? what is ipod a part of your family or something?!?!

[su47a]

no but if you had really paid attention and not have jumped to statements at once you might have learn how how much the battery lasts on a full charge

[dmoney0015]

wtf are you talking about... what does a battery have to do with it?!? thats not why my ipods broke...

[hooty454]

thats cause your a moron

[dmoney0015]

im a moron cus my ipod broke, what kinda sense does that make?!? .... idiots

[DarthKickasss]

dude i loved this show. i love AOTS, but this was the shit.

[mozzmanau]

Just so all you moron Ipod lovers know, the hard drives they use are the same as laptop hard drives, and they are really really shitful at handling shock. So if your a fat ass who sits on his/her ass and listens to thier ipod your in heaven, but if you want to go for a jog or even a walk, dont expect it to last too long. Apple (Steve Jobs) has sucked in many with this peice of CRAP :)

[davidbball13]

no ipod hard drives are not 2.5in drives they are 1.8 retard

[mozzmanau]

Really? are you seroius? So why is it that the last one i pulled apart had a 2.5??? and why is it that there are so many videos on youtube telling you how u can use a 2.5??? Ahh i get it, your a mac retard arent you?? lmao

[davidbball13]

no i am not i use linux and the ipod video is a 1.8 drive take your own ipod apart and look at the hard drive and it is not a laptop hard drive

[johanownz]

Or get something like the Ipod touch which uses flash memory and not a harddrive.

[omgwtfgo]

I miss TSS :( Stupid G4 invasion grrr

[callforhelp62]

I do too. Leo is the best! Ever since G4 too over all the shows are the same basic thing.

[Samey44]

i could change a hard drive and/or battery

[avanty123piw]

if you can change hard drive, why not put a bigger one in (memory wise)

[lighttekku]

retard hold the center button+menu button 2 reset the screen and its easy 2 shut off idiot fisk0

[ThePriceIsRightFan]

i could have sworn that apple allows people to send in Ipods and then they switch the battery or you buy the battery from apple.

i have an ipod mini thats battery constantly dies (ive had it for about 2 years and ive had this problem for about half a year.) do ipod videos' battery diminish as quickly?

[matt360x]

well there stupid you can buy new hard drives over the internet less than 150$

[crocoteeth]

idiots, only talk much ...crap Y_Y

[YeahManWoot]

lol iEye

[adrianbyrdie]

haha, funneh!

[Z3PP3LIN]

...what?

[raulnarvaez123]

it ain't that hard to change ipod battery i changed a zune battery and a couple ipod battries

[KACKAZN]

dude ur probably some kinda of no social life nerd

[JonathanDBain]

ill bet you are too as we are all looking at a fucking ipod hack vid -u r an idiot that just embarraced himself

[fisk0]

I don't understand why people prefer Ipods over other brands. It got buggy firmware and force you to use Itunes ... I had to remove files from the Quicktime folder to run that buggy program, sometimes Itunes doesn't notice I've connected the Ipod and sometimes it is impossible to shut the Ipod off (not even rebooting it works). If I'd ever buy an mp3 player (I won mine) I'd stay away from Apple.

[ZinXiao]

I have an iPod, and it works great. No problems. IDK WHAT THE F*** ur talking about.

Its either your computer, your ipod... or ... you.

[KHRaccoon]

Hey Fisk0 my ipod nano does the same thing half my songs won't play because they are in a different format and when I plug mine in it insists there isn't a disk in the drive and shows that everywhere except for the fact that I can still download songs to it. Also Mine won't shut off sometimes I think you have to be in a certain screen maybe.

[Qumby450]

This is really not that complicated, I have done it to several iPods for me and my friends. Simple repair, and the batteries are cheaper than $59, more like $30.

[sasuke0991]

lol, Kevin Rose is lol'ing at something in the back.

[CatulusZemar]

lol i miss this show

[dario4life]

what ever

[MrDeEE]

GEEKS

[donnuh]

Your just dumb.

[Finkdog2004]

So I just looked at the website they showed to look at hard drives. A 100GB upgrade cost about as much as a new iPod.

[ChiTownRuler023]

if creatives made a mp3 player/video player with more then 80gbs i wud buy it

[1Fedex]

Just crack it open like a egg. hehe. kidding. very nice and informative video.

[Filipino132]

what if you have a nano...?

[cpucntrlld]

i wonder if i can do the same with my 5.5 generation 30g ipod?

[StephenCarboni]

Anybody realize that kevin rose is sitting in the background on the PC with the NVidia sticker on the monitor

[MaCHBoS]

Geek Rules

[CVV1]

With creative mp3 players you can just open the thing up. IT was supposed to be opened incase your battery runs out.

[215spartan215]

really? Crap, i should have got creative mp3, my ipod is screwing up!

[CVV1]

Well, the newer creatives have internal un-removeable batteries. But my older one had a removable one.

[215spartan215]

o cool

[vansaregood]

Hey Thanks for this video!!! Its exactly what I needed!!!
