Elgato EyeTV Hybrid

EyeTV Hybrid is an all-in-one TV USB stick for your Mac, including DVB-T, DVB-C, Analog TV & FM-Radio tuner. Even though it is quite small, it contains a full-size and built-in coaxial plug and does not require an adapter to connect cable or an aerial. The EyeTV Hybrid also comes with a composite (RCA) and S-Video break-out cable to connect a variety of devices to your Mac, such as a set top box for premium channels and satellite, a VCR, or a Camcorder.

EyeTV Hybrid can record digital TV in the  full quality digital content as encoded by the broadcaster. The included EyeTV 3 software lets you watch and timeshift live television on your Mac. Record, subscribe to TV series, and create Smart Playlists. Edit unwanted content and send your favorites to iTunes to sync automatically. Recordings can be share over a local network with other Macs and accessing them on an iPod or iPhone via Wi-Fi.

Product site: Elgato EyeTV Hybrid

Additionally I can recommend a couple of application to make the experience of the Elgato EyeTV Hybrid even better.

Remote Buddy

A powerful remote control solution for the Mac, that lets you control the EyeTV, any many other applications with Apple Remote, iPhone, or iPod Touch. With this application you can put the EyeTV Remote in the drawer, and only use the Apple Remote or iPhone as remote.

Product site: Remote Buddy

Aurora

Aurora lets you wake up your Mac in the morning or any other time, and fortunately it has support for EyeTV. Aurora can play both EyeTV TV and radio channels, this is quite nice if you like to wake up to some morning news or like as I do.

Product site: Aurora

XBMC / Plex

XBMC or Plex (build on XBMC) is only related to the EyeTV in sense of making your Mac a better media center. They both have a visually appealing user interface that provides instant access to your media. They can play a wide range of video, audio and photo formats as well as online streaming audio and video. The real power of these applications are found in its library features, I especially like that it can automatically retrieve movie metadata from IMDb; imagery, description, rating etc. Whether to select XBMC or Plex might be a subjective matter.

Product sites: XBMC or Plex

From MacWorld.com:

In iTunes 8.1, the Party Shuffle feature introduced in April 2004 has been rechristened iTunes DJ. While this feature has been around for some time, Apple added some new functionality specifically designed for iPod touch and iPhone users.

The new iTunes DJ features lets iPhone and iPod touch users vote on upcoming tracks.

With iTunes DJ, iPhone users that have Apple’s Remote application installed can request songs to be played. Users can also vote to control when songs are played. The DJ feature even has its own preferences, so you can send a welcome message to users and control whether voting is turned on or off. You can also require users to type in a password to access iTunes DJ’s features.

The below quote is how the authors describe the wifi hack tool:

Aircrack-ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured. It implements the standard FMS attack along with some optimizations like KoreK attacks, as well as the all-new PTW attack, thus making the attack much faster compared to other WEP cracking tools.

I am sure that Apple is aware of the problem, and continuously will provide stability fixes for the iPhone. However, running the latest version, which at this moment is the iPhone 2.1 firmware/software, the iPhone still have stability problems. Hopefully this will change in the next version, the iPhone 2.2 software.

However, it is possible to prevent the iPhone Safari from crashing, though it is not a permanent fix:

• You can try to clear the Cache, Cookies and History. To do this, go to Settings > Safari and tap Clear Cache, Clear Cookies and Clear History.
• If that is ineffective, try makeing a soft reset of your iPhone by holding down the Sleep and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears (about 8 second). Note that this is also how you power the iPhone off. When the “Slide to power off” slider appears, just keep holding the buttons down and pretty soon you will see the Apple logo appears, indicating that the iPhone is reseting. This can help reset some apps that may be running in the background. Importantly you will not lose any data.

Pairing the iPhone headset with the MacBook can be done seamlessly, just go to the Bluetooth in the menu bar, select “Set up Bluetooth Device…” and choose “Headset”, then press and hold the headset button for about eight seconds, until you hear the startup tone and then five quick high beeps. The headset is now discoverable and will remain so for about five minutes. The status light blinks green while the headset is discoverable.

Unfortunately, I believe that the audio quality over Bluetooth is quite unsatisfying, it seems to be poor and a bit crackly. Therefore it is kind of tricky to recommend using the Apple iPhone Bluetooth Headset for that purpose.

UPDATE: My iPhone was replaced with a brand new iPhone after being sent to Apple Support, so now that I have my second iPhone, I hope not to see the problem again – or any problems at all.

Recently, I experienced an issue with my iPhone, during phone calls the sound disappeared from the ear speaker, but when plugging in the headset or switching to the speaker (loudspeaker ) the sound was available. I was afraid the iPhone already after a couple of month had to be delivered to Apple Support/Service, but when I turned to my good friend, Google, I found some of methods through which people solved their sound problem:

• Restart the iPhone by holding down the sleep and home buttons until the “Slide to power off” appears.
• Soft reset your iPhone by holding down the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
• Restore your iPhone from iTunes (restoring the phone will erase contacts, calendars, photos and other data on the phone, but will restore automatically backed up information including text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, etc.).
• Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. It will reset all your settings to its original state and NO harm is done to contacts, calendars, photos or any other data on the phone.
• Plug and unplug headset jack several times.
• Blowing air into the headset jack.
• Blowing air into the ear speaker.

After trying some of the first mentioned methods with no luck, I did the last two – I don’t which one that did the trick, but somehow the sound returned. However, the iPhone must somehow be quite sensitive to dust in these components.

This is easy way how to do it:

2. Search an artist or a song.
3. Choose a ringtone from the results.
4. Click the “Download Ringtone for iPhone” link.
5. Save the file and open it in iTunes.
6. Now the new ringtone is available in the Ringtones Library in iTunes
   NOTE: As default the Ringtones Library is not shown, here is how to enable it. Go to iTunes > Preferences… > General > check the “Ringtones” checkbox, and now the Ringtones Library should be visible.

Here is some examples:

The below method is not yet tested with iOS 4.0, if you try it, please post a comment if it works.

Most iPhone OS 2.0 / iPhone 3G users have experienced the very slow backup process each time the iPhone is connected to iTunes, and as more applications are installed the process will take even longer. It is possible to just cancel the backup process, and then make a regular Sync without backing up. However, if you want avoid the backup process from starting, there is a workaround. It is possible disable the automatic backup process from starting, and how to do this is described below; firstly for Mac users, and secondly for Windows users:

Mac users:

1. Quit iTunes.
2. Open a Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
3. Type or copy the following command:
   defaults write com.apple.iTunes AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true
4. Open iTunes.
5. Connect the iPhone.
6. Make Sync without backing up.

To enable automatic backup in iTunes again use this command instead:

Note: If you previously have used the command line option that entirely disables the backup feature, then type this command as well to enable to backup process:

Recommendation: If you choose to disable the automatic backup process, it would be a good idea to manually making a backup it once a while to get a safe copy of text messages, call log and like (just right-click your iPhone icon in iTunes).

Windows Users: (updated)

Windows users can use the same approach:

1. Quit iTunes.
2. Press Win+R (opens the Windows Run dialog)
3. Type or copy the following command:
   “%CommonProgramFiles%\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\defaults.exe” write com.apple.iTunes AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true
4. Open iTunes.
5. Connect the iPhone.
6. Make Sync without backing up.

Update – After some years the list was kind of outdated, here are some additional applications that I have recently used the most:

This is yet another list of favorite iPhone 3G applications available from the Apple App Store. Actually, it is not ordered top 10 list, but just a list of the 10 applications that I found most useful. No games are included since games qualify for their own top 10 list. Listed is also mainly free applications since I have only bought a couple of applications at this time. The list will be updated as new and better applications arrive at App Store.

• Remote
