or devices that enable users to download music, videos, games and more. The iPods are neat little gadgets that enable users to carry the device in a pocket or hand, while having the advantage of watching favorite movies, listening to tunes, or playing games anywhere, they choose. To help you understand iPods, and how the devices work, we have composed a series of articles, which includes a beginner’s guide. Apple is one of the first iPods that came on the market, yet many companies followed pursuit once they realized these devices had something to offer the community, yet Apple is the prime manufacture. In this report we are going to start you out with a brief history of iPods and then walk you through the details of how the iPods are used, including how the converter software works.

It’s no secret that iPod video has become extremely popular; there are numerous advantages. If you’re not up to speed on it or you are finding that you have some problems with it; however, it can be extremely frustrating and leaving you feelings as though you’re up to date with the changing technology.

If you feel like you’re one step behind everyone else and would like to get caught up to speed, you’re not alone. I found myself in the same situation not that long ago.

I knew I had to do something.

That’s when I started to read everything I could on the subject of iPod video.
What I discovered completely changed my life!

A brief history of Apple’s iPod

iPod or as I would like to call it Apple’s ‘interactive or intelligent Portable Device’ has transformed the way people now listen to the way people listen to music on the move. The days are not far when the bulky old walkmans which once changed the face of how people listened to music would be found only in antique stores and museums. Apple has sold close to 50 million iPods since its launch in Oct 2001. Despite the high cost of an iPod as compared to other portable music devices, its utilities have left all competition behind struggling to find a place for themselves. It all began when a former Philips employee and currently senior director of iPod & Special Projects Group at Apple, Tony Fadell recognized the need for a more portable music device, which we today know as iPod.

Nevertheless, since the launch of first iPod it has not undergone any major change in its looks. Although Apple has constantly been trying to bring down it is the size and increase the features including its music capacity.

Apple currently markets three distinct players bearing the iPod name. Some models come with different capacities or with different designs. The model range includes:

· iPod (30 GB and 60 GB).
· iPod nano (1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB).
· iPod shuffle (512 MB and 1 GB).

The iPod mini (4 GB and 6 GB and in various colors) are now discontinued, having been replaced by the iPod nano. The Harry Potter 20 GB Collector's fourth-generation iPod has been replaced by the Harry Potter 30 GB Collector's iPod, which is simply a fifth-generation iPod with a Harry Potter engraving and the Harry Potter audio books pre-loaded.

Several product revisions have taken place since the original model of iPod appeared, leading to the existence of five distinct generations. As with most hard drive-based devices, the actual drive space available for music, photo, and video and data storage does not quite attain the advertised capacity. For example, a 4 GB iPod mini actually had 3.77 GB of usable storage. This is due to iPod’s firmware, which eats up a little space of the memory.

iPods can be classified broadly into its five generations namely first, second, third, fourth and the most recent fifth generation.

First Generation iPod:
The first iPod was launched on Oct 23, 2001 with a 5 GB capacity with a price tag of $399. Critics all over said that the price would bring an instant death to iPod, but only to be proven wrong. In addition, as opposed to the point of view of critics iPod was an instant hit quickly overtaking the then prevalent hard drive mp3 players such as Nomad Jukebox. Later in march, 2002 Apple introduced the 10 GB capacity iPod with a price tag of $499.

These iPods look much the same as those today except for the push buttons instead of the touch buttons around the circumference of the central select button. In addition, the central button was a mechanical scroll wheel as opposed to later generation’s non-mechanical touch and click button.
In addition, the first generation iPods were only Mac compatible, which meant that it was incompatible with Microsoft Windows enable PCs. Only Apple’s Mac computers could be used to transfer songs to iPod then.

Second Generation iPod:
The second-generation iPods were launched on July 17, 2002 at Macworld Conference and Expo, a tradeshow dedicated to Apple’s Macintosh platform. Two models were launched with 10 GB and 20 GB capacities. The major change was the replacement of the mechanical scroll wheel by the non-mechanical touch and click button termed as a “touch wheel.” Although the size remained more or less the same, the second-generation iPod also had carrying case, wired remote and was compatible with Microsoft’s Windows.

Third Generation iPod:
The third generation iPods were launched by Apple CEO Steve Jobs himself on 28 April 2003 as the “ultrathin” iPods. These iPods were slimmer and smaller than their predecessors were and had nicely curved edges. Except for the cheapest iPod, the rest came bundled with a charger called Dock Connector. This was used for charging the batteries. This was longer and flatter than the FireWire plug. During the course of third generation iPods Apple launched models with memory ranging from 10 GB to 40 GB.

The noticeable change in third generation and the rest of the iPods is that unlike all the rest it did not have any buttons surrounding the central wheel. Instead, there were touch buttons right below the screen with backlighting which enabled easy use even in dark.

Another feature that Apple introduced with the third generation iPod was that there were no separate iPods for Mac users and Windows enabled PCs. Instead, all iPods were now shipped with their hard drives formatted for Macintosh use and came along with a CD-ROM which featured a Windows utility which could reformat them for use with a Windows PC. These iPods also introduced Hi-Speed USB connectivity for the first time though they still could not be charged using this USB drive.

As such, it was the third generation iPods, which actually started the iPod revolution sending the sales skyrocketing.

Fourth Generation iPod:
The news of fourth generation iPods was released by Steve Jobs himself through press interview with Newsweek magazine. The fourth generation started what can be termed as the ‘iPod craze’. iPod became a fashion symbol with various celebrities promoting the then latest iPod including the rock band U2. The fourth generation iPods came in 20 GB and 40 GB capacities.

The major changes in the fourth generation iPods were the buttons, which were again like the second generation iPods surrounded the central click wheel. There were no backlights but the well-designed buttons took care of it. In addition, the battery offered a higher life of about 12hours and could now be charged via the USB port.

On 28th Oct 2004 iPod photo was launched which featured a 65k color screen and ability to store images in various formats like JPG, BMP, GIF etc. along with music files.
By the end of June 2005, Apple removed all its monochrome iPods from production line and lowered the prices of most of the models by removing all the bundled up accessories except for the headphone and the USB cable.
iPod also updated iTunes to version 4.9 during this time, which added podcasting capabilities to iPods, and iTunes.

Fifth generation iPod:
The fifth generation iPods were unveiled on 12 Oct 2005 at the event “One more thing…” This iPod is generally referred to as iPod video. Fifth generation iPods are available in two models of 30GB and 60 GB memory priced at two, 99, and $399 respectively. For the first time the iPods were launched in two colors, white and black.

They can play movies in MPEG-4, H.264 and MOV formats in varying resolutions depending upon codec used and other specifications. Fifth generation models have a 65k (16 bit) color QVGA TFT screen. The videos on these iPods can also be seen on a TV using the USB cable however the quality may not be as good as those of normal TV programs because of the highly compressed formats used with iPods. The compression saves space but also has an adverse effect on the quality of image. The buttons are more or less the same except for a little resizing being done in order to make the diameter of the surrounding buttons a little smaller to about 1.5”.

With the introduction of iTunes version 6.0.2 iPods are now not only podcast enabled but also vodcast (video –podcast) enabled where for a weekly or monthly fee one can see certain video programs. The latest iPods have certainly created a revolution in the music and media industry by opening up an avenue to exploit along with the traditional television, radio, and internet.

Sixth Generation iPod:
Although not officially announced it is expected to be a multi-purpose touch screen device, which could either, act as a handheld PDA or a mobile phone or maybe even a camera fitted iPod… Well who knows what it may be like…? Nevertheless, it sure has left people guessing. Now we can look at the beginners guide to iTunes and PDF.

A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO iTunes and PDFs
iTunes is still known as a music management program to most of us till date, but recently Apple has added a few exciting features that will allow iTunes to organize your movies and books too. These features have been designed in order to allow music store to sell not only music but also movies and other such stuff. Above all, all these features can be used to enhance one’s own music library too.
WHAT ARE PDF FILES?
PDF stands for Portable Document Format and was developed by Adobe in the late 90s.It was developed to compress otherwise bulky documents and books, magazines etc into smaller and readable formats compatible with most of the PCs.
After announcing the iPod U2 Special Edition in collaboration with the rock band U2, Apple released a “Digital Box Set” of U2’s back catalog called The Complete U2 on October 26, 2004. This was the first iTunes musical offering that included a “digital booklet,” which Apple called it for the PDF version of a CD insert, and the company enabled iTunes to download and store the digital booklet alongside the rest of the U2 collection.
Since that date, Apple has released several albums with this type of addition, including Cold play’s recent X & Y, Bruce Springsteen’s Devils & Dust, the Black Eyed Peas’ Monkey Business, and Faith Hill’s Fireflies among others. Anyways Apple is doing everything that it can to attract more customers to buying music online rather than from the nearby music stores. The digital booklet appears at the beginning of the list, and no time/duration is shown. In addition, its bit rate is “Unknown.”
These PDF files can be viewed very easily by double clicking at the file containing the digital booklet. Then you can print these booklets if you want to or simply view them on your PC’s screen.
While digital booklets display together with their album, iTunes won’t copy them automatically to your iPod, since the iPod cannot display them. You can however, copy them to any location on your iPod or to any folder on your computer. Well not only can iTunes but also even you can add PDF files to your digital booklet. For example, you can add the following information in PDF format:
* Album notes that you have scanned
* CD inserts for music you have imported
* Lyrics for your favorite music
* Guitar tabs
* Band or orchestra information
* Photos
* and, of course, more…
You can do this by simply creating a text file and then converting it to PDF format or by scanning text or images and then converting it to PDF format and then you can store it on you PC in the digital booklet file.
To ensure that PDFs are stored with the specific album to which they belong, you must put them in their proper place as you do for any music file. To do this, select the PDF file, then select File > Get Info. Here you will see digital booklet is listed with the appropriate artist, album, and genre tags.
Organizing PDF Files
While you can organize your PDF files by setting their tags to match their albums, you can also create play lists with them by dragging them to a manual play list, or by making a smart play list that looks for PDF files. To do this, create a smart play list with one condition: Kind Contains PDF. With this kind of play list, you can also store the lyrics and other information about the band.
Therefore, what’s waiting u, it’s just going to take a few minutes, and all the information about your favorite bands will be there the way you’ve always wanted to.

Video Ipod Converting Tips and Tricks

Some of the innovative software and tools available today that will help you convert files is the Videora iPod Converters. The converter is a free application that works with iPod Video devices.
