iPod touch question.

[Azza]

Can you acess the radio online using the WiFi?


e.g. Radio1?

 

[Azza]

Dont think you can, it looks for real or windows media. There may be alteratives but im not sure yet.

Yeah you can only listen to it on your PC via Real Player or WMP.


No real player app for touch?

 

[Azza]

Stick to my Zune then me thinks.

 

[Azza]

*Throws apples at Azza*

I need my daily dose of the radio now. Im hooked to it.


Ill prolly end up getting an iPhone though when a decent one comes out.

 

[Azza]

Please do chaps.

 

[Azza]

Get this kind of support from those tattoo crazed Zune users?

Dont need any as its perfect (nearly)... just want something cooler.

 

[Azza]

Whats the verdict then chaps?

 

[Azza]

Any one fancy another crack with this on their iphone for me as im thinking about getting one.


Thank you.

 

[Azza]

Well they are making iPlayer for touch/iphone so I would assume that the radio player would be involved too.

BBC iPlayer?


Any who I think I shall pop up town and get one in a bit.

 

[Azza]

 

[Azza]

Nice ! but I thought you wanted a touch ?

Decided that I want to minimise the amount of things that I have in my pockets.



Just need to sell two mp3 players and my two other mobiles now to make up the cost. Which I have two weeks to do so before I go home for easter, if not then my parents will kill me. Also got to sell two PC cases aswell before then.

How the hell do you unlock it?

Got ZiPhone downloaded so im ready to go just canny unlock the thing so I can restore it.

Just goes to emergancy call when I hold either home or wake button and slide the bar.

 

[Azza]

Right:

1) Switch it off, hold the button on the top for 3 seconds until the slider appears.

2) Hold down the home button and plug it into the computer still holding down the home button until a iTunes logo and cable appear on the screen.

3) iTunes will pop up and say that it has detected a phone in recovery mode, the only option to have it to Restore.

4) Wait for the restore to download and update the phone. The phone will go back to the activation screen.

5) Once thats done, quit iTunes and open ZiPhone 2.5 and click 'Do-it-all'

6) Let it run and do it's thing.

Voila, job done, shove your existing SIM in there and your good to go.

That worked.


Downloading update...how long does it usually take? Seems to be taking a while...

 

[Azza]

iTunes may pop up during the unlock process, just ignore it and don't press anything!

Aye its doing it now.


Time to hunt for an instrument to get the sim tray out now.

 

[Azza]

Should iTunes pop up again once I start ZiPhone?


Im scared now.

 

[Azza]

Yes, I said that earlier, just ignore it. Dont touch anything, just let it run.

So you did.


All done, very easy and simple apart from me being a fool.


Time to wack some music on and have a play I think.

 

[Azza]

Congrats mate, welcome to the iPhone!

I feel all dirty now, not so much that I own an Apple 'i' product but that I have iTunes on my PC.

Poor thing.

 

[Azza]

Sort your life out.

Just need to contact the IT fools at this Uni so I can use the internets as it can connect to the WiFi just canny view any webpages which im guessing is down to the fools here.

 

[Azza]

Need to set up a VPN, will show you how when I get out of this lecture!

OK thanks man.


Only annoying thing so far is that it isnt able to read my contacts that are on the SIM card, unless there is something that I havnt done. So ive had texts from people and i have no idea who they are from.

 

[Azza]

Well that was a little annoying.

Was just in the lab and it said that there wasnt a SIM in so i couldnt text or anything (not that I do in the lab ) but it seems ok now.
