Comment on replacing the hardrive of an ipod by Rogier

I was reading the above story. And a bit sceptical about the ipod smacking trick.

But the ipod wasn’t working anymore and i had nothing to loose I grapped a package of tissues so the bang wouldn’t get the case banged up.. and smacked it to the table (with tissues between table and Ipod)..

I was really suprised that it worked! So people who are scaptical as me.. is’t worth giving it a try.. I hit it on the left side….

Hi Josh,

I would modify the query to use mysql_real_escape_string:

$query = sprintf(”SELECT name FROM users WHERE name LIKE ‘%s’”, mysql_real_escape_string($searchString) . “%”);

I was almost going to replace my HD and had already tried and tested the “slap technique” – which failed. The thing that worked for me that didn’t involve any unnecessary physical procedures was to DOWNgrade the firmware. I was told from an apple refurb place that it was the HDD that failed. They were wrong!

I agree with this post. This is exactly the type of feature that needs an on/off switch.

I hope the next software update is a good one b/c I’m very dissatisfied with this iPhone toy (have had it for over a year.)

Nice solution! Thanks for posting.

Using ‘%s%%’ the final string came out as ’s’% instead of ’s%’

As a heavy sleeping network admin who has a lot of people depending on me getting up and dealing with stuff at 2AM, this is AWESOME and exactly what I wanted. Thanks Apple!!!

I have the 04′ 20gb. I dropped my precious thing in the gym while I was running on the treadmill twice! After a few weeks, it kept acting up showing this screen with a folder and the address of the apple support website with a constant whirring sound. However, after reading website and smacking it a few times on my palm, it finally worked. Well, I guess for now… We’ll see what happens when it freezes again. Wish me luck!
