Breathe new life into your old iPod - Make it an external drive
Breathe new life into your old iPod | RedRodger.com Campus Madison WI![]()
instead of coughing up the extra cash for a USB jump drive or external hard drive, why not breath new life into your old iPod by converting it into a combination of the two?
Putting your iPod into “Disk Mode” opens it up for use as a USB drive, and allows you to store basically anything on it:
1. Connect your iPod and computer, via the USB cable.
2. Restart your iPod before putting it into Disk Mode (hold switch must be off).
3. Press and hold the following combination (listed below) simultaneously for 15 seconds to reset your iPod. iPod 1G to 3G (scroll & touch wheel iPods): "Menu" and "Play/Pause" iPod 4G+ (Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select Center Button"
4. As soon as you see the Apple logo, release, and hold down the "Fast Forward" and "Rewind" buttons. This will put your iPod into Disk Mode (if your iPod did not mount on your computer, restart the computer).
5. Your iPod is now in Disk Mode, and should say so on the top of the iPod's screen. It should also be flashing the "Do not disconnect" icon.
6. Now you can surf the Internet and load it with portable apps, and begin to save all your photos, files, and music to your new portable disk drive.

Evans and Routh play two of the evil boyfriends (#2 and #3 respectively), and Plaza and Larson both play Cera's ex girlfriends. Also joining the cast are lesser-known actors Mae Whitman (yet another -ex, she played Ann Veal on "Arrested Development," her??), Anna Kendrick (Pilgrim's sister), and Webber and Pill plays members of Pilgrim's band and Johnny Simmons plays their biggest fan.

Dell is ushering in the age of the super-sized solid-state drive.Back in the day (last January), laptop buyers were stuck with a Henry Fordesque choice: you can order any solid-state drive you want with your laptop as long as it's 64GB.What a difference a year makes. On Friday, Dell quadrupled this to 256GB. The Samsung SSD is now available as an option on Dell's XPS M1330 and M1730 laptop lines.

Ricardo Montalban dies at 88
Ricardo Montalban dies at 88 - Yahoo! News![]()
LOS ANGELES – Ricardo Montalban, the Mexican-born actor who became a star in splashy MGM musicals and later as the wish-fulfilling Mr. Roarke in TV's "Fantasy Island," died Wednesday morning at his home, a city councilman said. He was 88.Montalban's death was announced at a city council meeting by president Eric Garcetti, who represents the district where the actor lived. Garcetti did not give a cause of death."What you saw on the screen and on television and on talk shows, this very courtly, modest, dignified individual, that's exactly who he was," said Montalban's longtime friend and publicist David Brokaw.
