On Sale: iPod Touch 8GB

The day has come; I could no longer resist the want for an iPhone. I eventually went out an bought one. I am totally happy with it – but now, I still have my old iPod touch which I no longer need. So, that’s why the iPod is going on sale.

I’m pricing the iPod at 179€ (SOLD, NO LONGER AVAILABLE) which is exactly 100€ less than with what I bought it. The iPod has absolutely no scratches at the front, headphones are in top shape, dock adapter has never been unpacked and the iPod itself is running smoother than ever.

I have posted pictures below, if your interested in how the whole package looks.

So if you are interested then drop me a mail at mail@guimkie.com with the subject “iPod Touch Interest” (or something similar). Questions regarding the sale go to that mail address as well.

The iPod is running version 1.1.3 and is not jailbreaked in any way. I have bought the iPhone apps from iTunes and they are on the iPod. I will not delete them (as I see no way how to do this), so they will come with the iPod. Music, videos, notes and whatsoever will of course be deleted.

As far as the hardware stuff goes, it’s the 8GB version. The iPods front has zero scratches. The back has some minor scratches which are tiny and so quite negligible; as seen in the photos. The iPod has been carried inside a iPod Video sleeve, so it’s not plagued by scratches in any way.
The headphones don’t make funny noises, the cable is 100% working and the dock connector has basically been never used. The dock adapter is still wrapped in the original plastic. The little stand for the iPod is also included (which also, was never used). Lastly, the cleaning cloth is also there!
To make it clear, anything that was in the original package, is still in it!

The box, the manuals are of course coming as well. I will pack the iPod back into the box just as it was in the beginning; this thing is practically new!

The iPod has been bought in the online Apple Store on the 25 of September last year and so is still in warranty. The order summary will be printed out and attached.

Lastly, shipping is not included in the price above. Im sending the iPod from Germany, so the closer you are to Munich, the better. It is completely up to you with what carrier, I am totally free to use anything that I can.

I think the best way is to simply take a look at the photos. This is how the iPod will be shipped.

Accessing iPhone/iPod File System

I have recently made a tutorial on how to jailbreak your iPod/iPhone. Now it’s time to move on to a second part of this…

John has dropped me a mail asking how to put NES ROM’s onto the iPhone/iPod or how to get widgets into the iPhone/iPod’s file system and so I thought, why not write a tutorial!

You can not only put NES ROM’s on your iPod/iPhone if you have access to the file system – but you have access to every single item and file in the iPhone/iPod!!! Nothing is no longer safe – it’s under your control. You can write your own app for the iPod/iPhone or you can modify existing ones, add new wallpapers – all up to you! :-D

Just for your info, same things as far as rights and warranty of the iPhone/iPod and my blaming part in this, they are the same as in the Jailbreak Tutorial!

So, let’s get this thing started:

Perfect Audiobooks in iTunes

Do you want to get your audiobook from CD to iTunes? But not just as thousand songs – but as one file that goes into the audiobook tab both in iTunes and on your iPod? Do you even want chapters for your audiobook?

This tutorial will show you how to import your audiobook from CD and then get it into iTunes to show up under audiobooks with chapters!

So, let’s get this thing started.

This tutorial has two starting points. One of them is, if you have already imported a audiobook into iTunes. The other starting point is, that you still need to jam all of those CD’s into iTunes.

If you still need to import the audiobooks into iTunes, then start with the first step. If you have them in iTunes already, skip to step two.

Jailbreak iPod/iPhone in 5 Minutes

I’ve walked around with iPod touch for quite a while now, and yes, it is jailbreaked! I let Ants run over my display, I play Labyrinth with the iPod’s built in accelerometer, and so on forever… People see my iPod touch and ask me, why do they not have these cool things – well cause mine is jailbreaked!

Jailbreaked means you get access to the iPod/iPhone’s firmware and then write/read on it how you like it. Apple does not allow it at this moment, though, they have said they will open the iPod touch and the iPhone up at the end of January or February. My guess is that they bring a new iPhone version at the Macworld ‘08 and make this “not-jailed” firmware a new feature.

In any case – can I jailbreak my iPod touch or the iPhone? Yes and it could have never been easier.

So before we get started, there are some points that I want to make. If you jailbreak your iPod/iPhone, you will void your warranty and all sorts of other regulations wether it be with AT&T or any other company. You are seen as a hacker in their eyes as soon as you have completed this tutorial. I know, it sounds horrible – but you are, breaking out of jail!
I struggled at the beginning if I should do it or not – but eventually I went with it because it is just awesome! New apps, features, look, everything – a new iPod/iPhone!

Is it secure? Yes. The method might sound obscure and error-filled – but zillion of people have done it and it works like a charm!

Lastly, Guimkie will not take any responsibility for anything that will happen to you or your iPod/iPhone after you have followed this tutorial. Use it on your own risk!

Having said that, I still suggest you do it!

How To Rip DVD’s for iTunes

How do I get DVD movies into iTunes and on my iPod? How do I rip movies for iTunes? Can I do it for free?

Well, this post is the solution to your problem. I will guide you step by step through a totally free tutorial that only uses free software to rip your DVD’s into iTunes and later enjoy them on your Apple TV or iPhone or iPod or whatever!

Is this easy? Hell yeah. Just some clicks and then you have it in iTunes.

Before we get started for this tutorial, I would just like to say that ripping the movies is illegal if you share or distribute them over the internet. This tutorial is intended to show you how you can get your self-bought DVD onto your own Mac and into your own iTunes. I think that for personal use you are free to rip them into your iTunes library – but don’t trust me here for 100%, I am not sure on that!

This is a long, long post, so I did split it into two parts. So, click the link below to read on.
