Episode #95
I would like to know how to transfer my iPod games from one computer to another computer. I currently sync my iPod video with my powerbook, but I would now like to sync it with my iMac. Transferring the songs (purchased or ripped) from one iTunes library to the other was easy, but I haven’t been able to do it for the games. Even if I have copied the fold “iPod Games” from one computer to the other, they don’t show up in the new iTunes library on the new computer.

Games are stored in your iTunes folder in the iPod Games folder. Copy that folder to another computer, then add the games to your iTunes Library by selecting Add to Library from the iTunes File menu and add the .ipg files in the Games folder. Of course, that copy of iTunes will have to be authorized for playing your purchases.

- GSplitwindows
Split is a free file splitter that lets you split your large files into a set of smaller files called pieces, easier to copy to floppies, CD, DVD or any removable disk; distribute over the Internet, networks; send by email or with file hosting services; share with friends and colleagues. GSplit also generates small self-uniting programs when splitting files, so anyone even without GSplit may restore your split files automatically. GSplit can split very large files (larger than 4 GB) and it provides you with a lot of splitting options (in addition to five splitting methods, including functions for large text files like server logs). You can load/save settings into profiles, and also automate it. Finally it features an intuitive graphical user interface (with skin support) that makes operations easy and fast. Context-sensitive help and animated tutorials are also available.

- Gennum nX6000
$120
Gennum has been around for quite a number of years, but until recently the company was better known for its hearing aid technology and its work with other types of ICs. A couple of years ago the company decided to bring the same technology it uses for improving audibility for the hearing impaired into the world of Bluetooth headsets, including noise cancellation technology. The nX6000 is one of the company’s smallest headsets so far, and it’s usable in either ear in either orientation thanks to the removable/adjustable ear clip.
Pro
- lightweight design
- usable in either ear
- noise cancellation works well
Con
- fit in ear is loose
