My son has just come home from his uncle's house with a new iPod. Very nice. Full of a wide variety of music, some of which I don't want him to listen to. He says "ya can't get rid of any songs without removing them all" but I don't believe him. Is there some way to remove a half-dozen of the worst songs without redoing everything on the iPod Touch?

Now that I have an iPhone, I am finding that the application icons are a complete jumble. I like things neat. Is there a way in iOS 5 to move them around so I have my favorites on the first screen, and so on?

Hi Dave. I want to buy a new ipod or mp3 player. which one you suggest? And which company you suggest?

I have a new iPod Touch which is awesome, but one thing has stumped me: how do I add photos to my iPod? My friends on Mac systems can somehow hook it up so that their newest albums in iPhoto are automatically copied across, but I don't have a Mac, I have a Toshiba running Windows Vista, so am I stuck?

This review compares the Arkon GPS Car Kit RWIPC and the Arkon SLIM-Grip Mount IMP-514, and I want to start by saying that Akron Resources really makes quality products of sturdy construction, built for optimal utility and unobtrusiveness. Their GPS Car Kit and SLIM-Grip Mount both fit well within that description, to be used with the iPhone or the iPod Touch.

"Versus" reviews probably should most often compare apples-to-apples and furthermore compare competing companies' products... however this review will compare two different products, both made by the same company.

This comparison is more of an apples-to-oranges comparison, as the SLIM-Grip Mount has no GPS features, and is simply a mobile mount for holding your iPhone for you, while you drive. The GPS Car Kit is not only a mount for your iPhone, but it does so much more, which I'll describe in detail. Please note that this review will in no way encourage you to use your iPhone (nor any phone, for that matter) while you drive. Distracted driving is an ever-growing concern and strict laws are now in place, in most all states. Please drive responsibly, at all times.

I found an iPod Touch that has been sitting in the closet for about a year and want to update the firmware operating system [ed note: it's actually called "iOS" now]. How do I update my Apple iPod Touch?

Can I regift my iPhone 2g updated to a 3G to my 10 y/o niece to use in another state to use as an itouch without hooking up the iPhone capabilities as a phone. She is too young to have a phone. I just want to know if she could have Internet and email capabilities without phone service. Would it need a wi fi spot for this!? Or data plan!? Thanks for any advice!

I just bought an iPhone 4 and am psyched about it, but I want to copy music from my iPod Nano onto it and am stuck. Is there a special cable or something I need? How do I copy music from an iPod onto an iPhone?

How do I create menu folders [ed note: actually you're talking about app folders on your iPhone / iOS 4 home screen] on my iPhone 4?

Being the computer guru you are, I'm sure such a question won't tax your awesome technical problem solving savvy but here goes: How do I delete podcasts or music from my iPhone or iPod that I don't want anymore?

Our son traveled to NYC with my iPod Touch. I downloaded several apps for him. I'd like to delete them from the iPod for now, but maybe put them back on later since I paid for them. I'd also like to delete kids' programs, then put back on again when I see grandchildren. Is this possible? I'm thinking not possible, because when I downloaded free apps before, then deleted them when I purchased upgrades, they also disappeared from the Itunes list.

We see tons of questions like this: "My iPod went through a huge wash, and the screen is black, when I hold the flashlight to it, it is seeable, but, it's very inconvenient to have a black screened iPod nano in the public." that ultimately boil down to: my iPod's busted, how can I get it fixed cheap?

How do I set up another photo album and how would I transfer pictures on my Apple iPhone 3gs to each corresponding albums? Thank you.

Every time you hook up your iPhone to your PC the iTunes app immediately starts by doing a backup of everything that's on the phone. But what is it actually backing up and is there any way to get to the information that's there if you were to lose your phone or if you just want to poke around?

That's the purpose of iBackupBot (formerly known as iPodRobot), a slick little Windows app that makes access the contents of your backups a breeze, whether it's photos, videos, notes, SMS chats or your address book. Some of 'em are already accessible via iTunes, but if you wanted to grab a Note or save a particularly amusing (or incriminating!!) text message, Apple leaves you out to dry....

To set the scene, VOWSoft, Ltd. contacted me and asked if I'd review the application. Since I sync my iPhone on a Mac, not a PC, I had to copy my backup data files across to my Windows 7 system, but I did and it worked great right out of the [virtual] box.

Okay, so your article yesterday about Genius playlists in iTunes (see How to Create Genius Playlists in iTunes 8) has me intrigued and I'd like to experiment with it. But on my iPhone. Is that a possibility? That is, can I create a Genius playlist on my iPhone 3G or, I suppose, on an iPod Touch?

Saw your earlier note about creating custom Apple iPhone website icons and think it's very cool, but I'm wondering: how did you delete the icon you didn't want to keep?

One of the features added to the latest revision of the Apple iPhone operating system that's garnered quite a bit of attention is the ability to save Web page bookmark icons directly on the main screen of the phone. Experimentation reveals that some sites have cool icons while most are just miniature representations of the Web site. What's the difference? Read on and find out, including step-by-step directions on how you can easily ensure your own site (or blog!) has a custom iPhone icon too.
