Here’s to hoping they will soon fix the botched implementation of iTunes Multi-Passes and Season Passes. I’m getting sick of clicking “check for purchases” all the time.
does this only work for nano. I have a 3G that I go running with all the time, and I am not sure this is going to work. Any thoughts?
I want 6.1 now!
Totally frigging smart.
I see so many runners out there with iPods it’s not even funny.
In all seriousness, hopefully this fixes the volume issue when synching your iPod while in full screen visualizer mode. Doing this turns the system volume down to about half its previous volume, but the volume slider doesn’t move. The only way to get it back to full volume is a reboot.
G4 Cube 450 MHz. (Duh!)
Tiger 10.4.6
j…it only works on the iPod nano, I think-uses stuff built into the nano’s firmware.
Are the Nike+ shoes on the market yet? They are supposed to have the spot for the sensor. Not like you can’t make a spot, I know.
a plugin for shoes in quicktime… let the bloatware begin!
(Of course I realize I need to get a life . . . . . )
It is my imagination, or does each new iTunes update change the behavior of the visualizer? ? ?
Sure seems like it changes.
MDN (Non word??) – hes
There will definitely be an accessory like a band for your legs where you could put this tiny thing and still use it without having to buy the nike shoes. No wonder Apple charges you for this piece; and nike like any other company gave a nice idea to Apple and let Apple make the money.
6:08 CDT the Apple Music Store is “Temporarily unavailable” “please check back later.”
There were also some security fixes in the 6.0.5 update:
