Ok! You all must have an iPod by now. If not, you have wanted to buy a Nano, iPod, iPod Classic, iTouch, or iPhone.
Here are two must have products if you have any of these Apple Products or need to give a gift. The first one is free.

No 1. You must have this free software program that converts your movies, podcasts, CD’s or anything else that you want on your iPod that needs converting in a format the iPod recognizes. Get iSquint!

Or you can buy the upgraded product that does a lot more: Visual Hub. It costs $23.32+ currency exchange cost. Visit the site and decide. I did and bought the upgrade. Just so much more for less than $25.

No 2. is a product I found I needed with my new iTouch though I didn’t need it for my iPod Photo and earlier iPods. The new iTouch would not show up on my desktop and there was no way to use it as a hard drive. (Store files on it by
drag and drop onto my desktop or from my desktop to my iPod.) It’s $19.99.

A third party makes that possible with a delightful program called MegaPhone. It has too many features to name them all. If you need to put anything on a new iPod, iTouch, or iPhone. This is a must have program.

Here are a few features: access, edit and create notes; have access to all your music and movies for transporting and backup; send text files, PDFs or word files to the iPhone; and notes application for reading and editing on the go. Therefore you have easy access to your iTunes media, photos, notes, SMS messages, and call history.

You can drag and drop music, videos, and notes to your desktop or just double-click to copy. I installed the program on my computer, opened it, added a new folder by clicking on + New Folder, and started putting the files I wanted to transfer from my desktop to my laptop.
