ASK

How can i transfer music from iPod to computer?
What is the best software to transfer iPod music back to a computer?
How can you transfer ipod touch music files to computer?
How do I transfer music from my ipod to my new itunes on my laptop?
How to transfer ipod music to itunes?
How do I transfer ipod music to itunes on another computer?

Answer

I collected many more or less similar questions on Yahoo Answer. Apple devices are widely used around the world, and the data transfer among devices gets more and more attention by people.

Being protected by copyright, iPod music pieces are not able to be transfered from iPod to PC or other iOS devices. And sometimes, it's inconvenient to make synchronization in iTunes, just for getting music from iPod.

Leawo iTransfer was born to solve these problems and make it easy to transfer data (eg. music, movie, app) from iOS devices to computer. You can finish transfer work fast on its kindly and simple interface.

1. Download Leawo iTransfer and make sure iTunes has been installed on your computer. Leawo iTransfer only runs on Windows systems.

2. Connect your iPod with PC. Open Leawo iTransfer and your iPod will appear in the left list.

3. Select the taget music in your iPod.

4. Transfer iPod music to PC. Just direct drag-and-drop, or right click, or use the transfer button in the lower right conner to do more setting during transfer. Set the taget device, and taget folder.

Leawo iTransfer can not only transfer music from iPod to computer, but also back up any type files among iOS devices, computer and iTunes without any limitation. The files are stored just like on a flash disk. With it, you can freely transfer any data.

Hope it is helpful!

What video formats does iPod touch 5 support?

ASK

Though iPod Touch 5g hasn't been released, I will buy one. It's stronger than I thought. I think it's worthy to pay. But I want to know the video formats it can play on its 4-inch display. Any body help?

Answer

Apple launched a range of new devices on September 12th, including iPhone 5, iPod touch 5 and iPod nano 7. iPod touch 5 owns thinner and lighter body. It comes in colours, much funny than iPod touch 4. The 4-inch display is as large as iPhone 5, but one hand still rules the screen. The new Retina display got taller but now wider. A 5-megapixel iSight camera will capture pictures in your life and shoot 1080p HD video. iPod touch 5 becomes more and more excellent.

Like iPhone 5, iPod touch 5 can't play videos in any formats. Before uploading local videos to iPod touch 5, you have to check first.

Video Formats iPod Touch 5 supports

H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

Convert Videos to iPod Touch 5
Besides the video formats mentioned above, other popular video formats, such as .avi, .mpeg, .wmv, are not able to be played on iPod Touch 5 directly. After uploading them to iPod Touch 5, it will display "unsupported file format". So, make conversions between them and iPod Touch 5 video formats.

MP4 Converter is a totally FREE tool which converts almost all of the popular video formats to mp4. It provides kindly interface and easy operating steps. Parameters are allowed to be set, such as encoded types (H.264, MPEG-4).

Play Video and DVD on iPhone 5 with Improved Display

The releasing day of iPhone 5 is coming near and near. The date is almost sure now, September 12, according to many information and news. Though there isn't any official images of this expecting device, we have already talked about it for a long time. The first look is very important to everyone, such as the size, the thickness, the screen and the integral design.

This article collects believable informations about iPhone 5's display.

iPhone 5 Display
As a tradition, iPhone always has a 3.5'' display, from the first generation to iPhone 4s. This time, Apple appears to make something different. To match an industry-wide movement, the display will be larger, and is expected to adopt a 4'' screen with 640x1136 resolution for iPhone 5.

iPhone 5 Display New Technology : In-cell Touch
iPhone 5 is expected to use a new display tech called IN-CELL TOUCH. In-cell multitouch technology integrates touch into the thin-film transistor LCD manufacturing process, obviating the need for additional sensors and glass.In-cell touch is going to be incorporated with LTPS TFT LCD on the new Apple device.

It is an improvement over the current technique, which places the touch sensors on top of the screen and naturally leads to a thicker display. This reduces the space taken up by the screen and the weight of the device.

This technology would be one of the greatest benefits to the iPhone 5.

iPhone 5 Display Supplier
The latest rumor pointed that LG Display will provide iPhone 5's displays to Apple. The chief executive of LG Display said, "We just began mass production and we don't expect any disruption in supplies".

In previous rumors, Sharp is reported as the display provider of iPhone 5. More, Sharp's IGZO technology was said to be the new technology which iPhone 5 display will base on. In April, Sharp announced that they intended to use IGZO technology in mobile devices.

Compared with the other two display providers, Sharp and Toshiba, LG Display is principal display supplier for Apple's exsisting products, such as iPad and iPhone.

Play Video and DVD on iPhone 5
Based on larger and better benifit display screen, users must get greater experience during their entertainment life with iPhone 5. In previous iPhone series, they support playing H.264 and MPEG-4 videos in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats. Before playing local video files, check the formats first. If the converision is needed between video formats, these video converters are FREE for you.

As we know, iPhone is not able to play DVD direclty, since there isn't any in-port for DVD players. Compared with iPhone, iPad may be a better choice to enjoy DVD films. Finally, if you want to play DVD on iPhone 5, after ripping videos from DVD discs, play videos normally instead.
