How To Put Video On IPod

I am positive most of you with an iPod video, have previously owned videos you might want to have on your iPod but aren't quite sure how to go along doing this. It is the case of many of the people I know, so I will discuss this in this simple article.

1 - You must download a software that will convert your video file into a mp4 file. This is because the iPod reads this type of file. Such a software is easy to find with keywords such as : Video converter on google to find this type of software.

2- Use this software to convert your video file to an mp4 file. Mp4 is a video format which the iPod's Operating System can read natively. Converting is really easy with any application that is out there.

3- Add the video files to your iTunes. You can simply do this two ways: Either drag and drop the file to your iTunes library or go in the "File" menu and select "Add File to Library". Then select your mp4 files which you want to add. It will appear in your iPod library in the videos section. If you're file is not in mp4 format you will not be able to put the video on your iPod.

4- Update your iPod, wait for the transfer, and you've got your portable video. Note you can also drag and drop the file directly to the iPod logo in iTunes and the file will be directly transfered to your iPod.

Voilà, now you can bring memories all-around with you or share some video with others! Have fun!

I own a blog on which I talk about this, how to actually convert the said video. It is also possible to view other types of video, but you need to install Linux or Rockbox. Two great user interfaces you can use for the iPod. Go the my and blog learn more, Click Here!

OST File Recovery and PST File Recovery

Email communication has expanded itself from professionals to normal home users. As a child enters into teenage, he becomes familiar with the power and usefulness of email communication and uses emails to correspond within his circle of friends and relatives. If we quickly look at some of the public email portals like Yahoo, Hotmail, Rediff etc; it can be analyzed that these portals regularly increase email storage limits for its users and as long more space is provided will thus encourage the user to utilize it.

Email communication proves more useful in the corporate world where hundreds of emails are exchanged daily between the professionals. They could be meeting notices, memorandums, important business attachments or simple emails of well being. If the importance of email communication has increased, so has increased the importance of data storage and the level of corruptions of email messages. This importance has resulted into duplication of data and information, data archives, and waste of hard drive storage space.

Email Storage :

As you receive many emails in a day, have you ever wondered where these emails get stored? The answer could be an email server or on the user’s computer system. MS Outlook and Outlook Express are the widely used email clients because of their ease of use and user friendly features. While working on MS Outlook, the email files are stored in PST and OST file formats and an exchange server is maintained to handle the incoming and outgoing emails. Now arise the common questions; what is exchange server, .pst files and .ost files and how are they used to store emails?

Microsoft Exchange Server -

Microsoft Exchange Server is a messaging system which supports transfer of internal and external electronic messages. The application is widely used in organizations where Microsoft infrastructure solutions are used. The exchange server stores data in highly organized relational database with the help of algorithms thus helps in transfer of mails and manages communication between other Exchange servers also.

How does Exchange Server work?

As the Exchange server stores messages and manages incoming and outgoing process of emails, the working of the messaging server also becomes a crucial point. The process of receiving, sending and managing the messages by Exchange server is as follows:

Step 1: The client connects to the server and sends the message.
Step 2: The exchange server then processes the message and determines saving
location in the messaging database.
Step 3: The recipient of the message is notified by the server.
Step 4: The client to receive the message connects to the server and receives the
message.


The simple working of the exchange server makes it easy for us to send and receive messages, thus transferring data electronically.

MS Outlook – Personal Storage Files -

“The file where MS Exchange server delivers messages”

The Personal Storage File (.pst) is the most robust storage container of emails and MS Outlook has the ability to store and deliver messages in the .pst file format, other file types can also be stored inside the PST file. But the PST file can get corrupt due to accidental file deletion, virus attacks or it can get damaged internally causing into data loss. There are number of email recovery and pst recovery software which effectively recovers mails and data from the corrupt pst files.

MS Outlook – Offline Storage Files -

“The storage file where emails and other information can be stored, which can also be accessed offline.”

In the corporate arena, Exchange Servers are used to store email messages. The Outlook Offline Storage Folder (.OST) in Microsoft Outlook provides unique synchronization method with an Exchange Server and existing mailbox accounts. The OST file gets stored on a users computer system which constantly gets synchronized with the Exchange mailbox account, which results into duplication of data on exchange server and on the user’s system. Access to .ost file requires an Exchange mailbox account, and if the mailbox is damaged, missing or removed, the .ost file will not open. For this you need to convert the .ost file to .pst file on your own or try the exchange ost recovery software.

Here I would like to guide you with some simple steps, following which you can convert the damaged .ost file to .pst file successfully in Outlook 2002 or 2003. This is the method which worked for me:

1. Backup the ost file(s)
2. Rename the outlook.ost file to outlook.pst file
3. Use scanpst.exe from Outlook 2002 to repair the outlook.pst file. (C: Program
FilesCommon FilesSystemMSMapi1033)
4. Rename outlook.pst back to outlook.ost
5. Run OST to PST which will then successfully convert the file to outlook.pst
6. MS Outlook will then open the outlook.pst file


OST/PST file formats are very complex and are designed around relational database concepts. The messages in these files are organized in hierarchical format using folders to store the messages. If the above mentioned steps do not work in your case of corruption, then it might be due to major corruption which can be effectively repaired by the ost recovery software. There are number of OST file recovery and PST file recovery software to convert and repair your damaged email files.

A Simple Guide to Wireless Networking

Most folks want that laptop for work, school, or college. Most laptops these days are Wi-Fi enabled. That means that they have the wireless hardware and software built into the computer. To the average consumer, wireless is a form of magic. You turn it on and it works, right? Not always. Understanding the basics to wireless will help avoid frustration and headaches.

First, before we get into the basics of wireless networking, I have a few opinions to express.

It seems that everybody wants to go wireless with their laptops and desktop PC’s. Wireless for laptops makes sense, since they get moved around between work and home and points in between. You can always connect using the Wi-Fi network at work or steal bandwidth from someone else. There are hotspots all over. There are ethical questions involved with “borrowing” your neighbor’s signal. Let your conscience be your guide.

Wireless for desktops is an open subject. Since most of us usually set our desktops up on our home or office workstations, they tend not to move around. The only benefit of having a wireless desktop is that you don’t have the expense and trouble of running Ethernet cable around your house. If you are not a DYI’er, an Ethernet cable installation is an extra outlay. If you’re lucky, your present PC is only a few feet away from your Broadband Modem. I personally prefer to have all my stationary PC’s hooked up with Cat 5 Ethernet cables. That way I don’t load up the wireless bandwidth on the router. We’ll talk more on bandwidth later.

There are hardware requirements to wireless networking. These are the things you need to communicate.

At home you need:

(1) a Broadband internet connection (Cable or DSL modem),
(2) a router to broadcast the wireless signal,
(3) a wireless enabled computer.

You cannot set up a wireless network using a Dial-Up connection. Period.

I recommend that you power off your Broadband Modem and any existing computer systems before you begin the installation of the wireless router. The computing equipment will start to negotiate with your router automatically on start up. This will get you on the network without confusion.

The router and existing PC’s should not need any further configuration. The default or current settings should work. Your PC should already be set to DHCP in your Network Connections TCP/IP properties window. If it weren’t you would not have been able to connect to your ISP. This is a default setting of your PC.

The Broadband internet connection gear should already be present. That’s the Cable or DSL Modem that your Internet Service Provider installed when you got their service. It’s connected to the Cable or DSL filter connection coming from your wall. The Modem has two connectors as a rule. One for the Cable or DSL data into the Modem, and one RJ45 connector you probably have connected to the computer you have in service now.

You’ll need to unplug the Ethernet cable between the computer and the Modem. Reconnect that cable to your wireless router. It goes into a RJ45 connector usually labeled “WAN” for Wide Area Network. The only other connection you will need to make is to connect another Ethernet cable between from one of the wired ports on the back of the router to your PC. There are usually 4 of them. Any one will do to reconnect your existing PC so it’s on the network. The existing PC will get it’s internet connection through this port. Your router’s default settings should allow you to start connecting to your Wi-Fi enabled computers.

If all the cables are correctly placed, you should now be able to get on the Internet from you existing computers and your wireless computers.

Some quick notes of interest:

(A) Your Wi-Fi router is transmitting and receiving in the 2.4MHZ range. So are your Wi-Fi enabled computers. This is the same frequency range of a number of cordless telephones. You may have interference on your cordless phones once the Wi-Fi network is installed. If this occurs you’ll need to get 5.8 MHZ phones or put up with the noise.
(B) One of the most common questions I get is “I bought a wireless laptop and I can’t get on the internet. Why not?” If your wireless router is installed properly, then your wireless laptop may need configuration. Go to your Network Places or Network Neighborhood for a wizard to help you set up your computer for wireless.
(C) Bandwidth is the volume of traffic you can sustain through your network. The more devices using the Wi-Fi network, the slower the network uploads/downloads will be.

Remember, your wireless network works a lot like your cordless phone system. You need a transmitter/receiver at each end. Think of the router as the base station and the wireless PC as the handset. You can’t talk on your cordless phone if the base station is unplugged. So without a wireless router in service, you can’t communicate with the Internet. Hotspots are just spillover signal from someone’s wireless router.
