After more more i found a link
 

How to make an external laptop graphics adaptor

 The problem i see is that. I do not want a card with open stuff on my desk.

That is really ugly. And how is it possible to travel and have this with you ?

And what if i have a coffee cup problem in this ? I might get killed by GPU.

 

No this need me to go to some IT center near by. And lucky for me. I am in the heart where all is produced.(Asia)  

 I let you all know when i find something cool :-)

Sonic Impact V55 ASTONE V55 and Ipod 160 GB

I was in an secondhand market and bought an item i never seen before.

It was an Ipod / Iphone docking unit with a screen.This unit is an old unit that was made for ipod gen 4 or gen 5.

You can buy one here the price was in 2006 100 US dollar.






















here is the unit in action with and older ipod:




The name of the unit was Sonic Impact V55 or ASTONE V55. I bought it so cheap and the guy said he not own an ipod so he never used it.

B)
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/sonic-impact-video-55-video-and-speaker-dock-for-ipod/

c) http://reviews.cnet.com/portable-video-players-pvps/sonic-impact-video-55/4505-6499_7-32081794.html

After trying it home, i found out that i not was able to get video to work on to the screen.

I found out that apple changed somethings inside that made this unit not to work with newer Ipod, as 160 GB.

From a website i found this:
"iPod has disabled the TV out with any connection device that does not contain one of their ID chips."
  
The company that produced these unit went bankrupt because of Apple changed some part into IPOD. That made this unit unable to play video.

And that made Sonic Impact V55 to a unit that not could be used on newer ipods.
 

But guys "i have a way to fix this"

See forum that talk about this problem.

IPOD Classic 160 TV out not working.

http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/07/apples-new-ipods-dont-play-nice-with-last-gen-video-accessorie/
 
I found a way to "hack" the unit. Not really a hack, but what should i call it? Hehe

I found out this after trying to make it work.

The unit has an AV in. So i connected this cable under to my ASTONE. 





















I connected a wire for Ipod that you can connect your ipod to TV.

See link here for more info

 Then i used a wire like this






















Here is what i found out.



I connected the ipod to ASTONE in AV IN

But nothing happend. I only got sound through the cable.

But as i never like to leave it . I  just docked the ipod into the ASTONE. And what happen ?





















 

Picture of an old music video showed up on the screen. My Ipod is an 160 GB 6 gen.

The problem is when the video is finished, then this picture come up that you need to connect Av cable to play next video.




















 
So i just connected the wire to my ipod again. 
Pressed video i wanted to play and then toke out the wire when the video had started.
















 

And here you see what happen.















 

Therefor there is a way to trick the ipod to think it is connected with and "original Apple wire" then take it out and connected the ipod to ASTONE V55.




To show you all that my ipod is an 160 GB i give you my about picture.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
 


My metode in short :

a) Connect your ipod with an Ipod AV wire. (Into ipod unit) like this.















If the wire is not connected you get this.( See below)














So plug in the wire into your ipod.







b) Then -> Start the movie you would like to see.

 













Then you get this picture. (See below)
















c) Take the ipod AV wire out while video is playing on the ipod















d) Dock the ipod into th ASTONE V55 and have the menu option in "ipod"





















Let the movie play like this.


e) The video will the come onto Astone V55.
Sometimes it take a second or 2 then video will come on the screen.















This trick the ipod to think it is still connected to the av wire and it will then work.

Problem is that you need to connect the apple wire every time and do this way a - e to trick the ipod.


This solution was really by a test and i was supprised that it worked.

I belive that older unit that was made for ipod 30 - 60 GB can be hacked in this way.

Also i think this is an software problem that Apple made to stop producers to make non apple unit. 

But Astone V55 is really a unit that really should come on the marked again.

It has an pc battery and remote. The sound is amazing. And it has a screen to show music video made into mp4 format.

And how cool is it to travel and see movies from you ipod.I have not been able to find a docking unit that has a screen and video like this.

Battery on ebay for this unit:

I put a video out on youtube where my ipod 160 GB is playing.

How to prevent updates iTunes 11?

Go to iTunes menu -> Preferences -> General, and uncheck "Check Updates Automatically."

Old Version of iTunes and my anger over itunes.

I really hate itunes. But the last version really made me lost it.

Where is Artflow window of album and i do not know how to do anything on the new Itunes 11.

After itunes crash when i tried to load new albums, then i really lost it.
Why did apple make all easy Apps and made a software to pc that is really crap.

I have tried to find other tools. But they all are not how i like it to work. 

Here is a clue Apple.

- We want itunes to work as a jukebox. We want to see all album with cover. Then we want to transfer that album to our apple device. 

- Also we want to have an app on the iphone that we can controll itunes.

- Also we want to be able to use icloud to send files to our phone. Use wire ? Whatta h....

- Also i want be able to have 2 or more apple device connected to itunes at the same time.

Why, because i want my mp3 to be on a harddrive, then use icloud to play music from that.
- The i also want the choice to uninstall itunes with all shit in 1 uninstaller.
- Also be able to rip video to my apple device from itunes.
- When files is on my iphone, i also want an easy way to transfer files to my harddrive. I do not want to spend 1 week to understand this. In max 10 min if not then you piss me off.

I do not have time and energy to use a week on apple stuff.

What a hell happen when Jobs was gone? You made itunes to a software that i want to hire a hitman to track the developer.



"Iphone - device can not be used, because the nessasary software is not installed."

WHATTTTTT are you kidding me?

I just have done an new install of itunes then this shit come up.

" Run itunes install and remove itunes. Then install itunes again" ( That with a high woman voice. "in my head" )

Well i have done that now for 5 times. And i want to kill that stupied f... that made this software. That is with 5 restart of the computer.

Please let me kill that f... that made this is my though while i throw down a cup of coffee. I did it in anger and burned me so bad.



Then my anger get worse. I found out that i really not like itunes. And then i use all calming technic that is possible to use.  

 " HAAAAMMMM " HAAAAMM " you are calm. Relax you are calm. 






Itunes need some new developer. I love apple devices, but hate itunes. It must have been microsoft that developed itunes. Because that is crap.  
       
But back to finding a version that is ok.

The problem is to find an old version of Itunes that really work.

But i found a site that has all versions





Old versions of itunes



Old Version of Quicktime Player


I found also some tools that might help with uninstall itunes.



iTunesEradicator

iTunesEradicator allows users to completely remove all traces of iTunes and it's partner products, including Apple Mobile Device Driver, Apple Application Support and Bonjour. It does not however delete your iTunes music library.

The program is both compact and portable, and takes a matter of seconds to complete the removal process! Easily remove all iTunes traces using this tiny tool.


ByeTunes

Bye Tunes has been designed as a last resort for Windows users who want to remove the Apple iTunes software completely from their PC.

The program will remove all traces of iTunes with the exception of Quicktime from the computer system. Included in the removal are the Bonjour services, other iTunes related services, Registry keys, startup programs, files, shortcuts and directories.

And what is up with Itunes when no cover of the album is possible to get.

And i hate to see my iphone without coverart.

So tool for this is:

MuvUnder Cover   


MuvUnder Cover helps you find missing cover art to fill in those gray gaps in iTunes.


Here is solution on the problem i had :

1. uninstall itunes
2. Uninstall Quicktime
3. Uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support
4. uninstall apple software update 
5.uninstall application support
 I belive that the problem to all of this is Apple Mobile Device Support.

WHY WHY do apple not have 1 uninstaller for all this?

The answer i found here.

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-software-from-a-windows-computer/  

And now my iphone work with itunes.

But trust me, if the people that made itunes was in same room as my this day. I have serious had a long talk with:

But wait story is not over.
Now a new thing happen !

Coverflow in itunes is no way to be found. I see the letters . But there is no way to change into coverflow.

 And why is that. Yes Quicktimes need to be installed.

Is it possible to die of using itunes. Have ever someone died from using that shit ?

Can i get a lawyer and demand 1 hundred million dollars for the suffering itunes make .

I get high blood pressure and burn mark in my mouth and i feel chest pain from using itunes.

By the way the software i told about above did not work !
 iTunesEradicator, ByeTunes, uninstall only by the way i have shown and install itunes again. The also install quicktime.





So now my hitman is looking for thoose guys !
 
  


 But again ! Not done yet !!!




 Where is my coverart for this ! and where is that song. IT is a never ending story with itunes.
