If you are like many people, you might have two or more iPods. Why? Well, you might use your shuffle or Nano for the gym or car, and use your Classic or Touch at the office in a dock. So if you are wondering how to sync multiple iPods from one computer, here are a couple of quick steps that will easily allow you to sync multiple iPods from your single computer.

You might think that those Mac users get all the good luck with the iPod and being able to burn or copy DVD’s to the iPod to watch. However, us Windows users (mac’rs quit laughing!) can now do the same thing!
There are a few steps to accomplish ripping and burning a DVD to an iPod for a Windows user, so I am not going to go into detail about each program you need, but point you in the right direction.

There have been reports over at CrunchGear that a small piece of paper can restore your dead iPod.
If you have a dead iPod laying around the house, try removing the rear cover and place a small folded piece of paper between the rear of the hard drive and rear cover. This acts like a shim and can sometimes restore a dead iPod.
I haven’t tried this, so I’m not sure if it works, but maybe it’s worth a shot!
Let me know if you try it and how it works!

With the increased battery life of the modern iPod’s, there are still some things that you can do to increase the life of your iPod. These simple tips will help increase the battery life of your iPod so that you don’t have to go through the hassle of a dead battery.
Because much of the power consumed by hard-disk iPods (not the Nano or Shuffle) spins the disk, press Pause when you leave the player unattended. Left playing in default mode, the iPod will run until the battery is drained.
However, you might think you have turned it off, when you’ve actually entered a standby mode. The way Play/Pause is engineered on the click dial, if you press down until the screen goes dark, the iPod may be in a paused standby mode (not Pause), which uses more power. To verify that the unit is in Pause mode, press the middle button. When the screen lights up, look in the upper-left corner for dual bars (Pause), not the triangle (Play). To cut power totally, flip the Hold switch on the top.
