Greg Oliviera lives in Petaluma California (94952) and brought his White 5th Gen video iPod.
The iPod had problems and he decided to repair it himself. That repair left his logic board trashed. Since I couldn't make the iPod work again, the next most important thing became "could I run a data extraction on the iPod hard drive to save the music?"
Okay, this is something that I do for my standard $40 labor rate but this project became far more complex. He wanted me to get the music off the drive and then place it into his 2nd Gen iPod Touch directly without using iTunes as the music repository first. This was a skill I didn't have yet so I had to figure out what tool I owuld use and learn how to use it.
I settled on CopytransManager to push the songs onto his Touch after I had run the data extraction.
In the photo you can see the 4700 songs now on his Touch.
Fixed - Total cost $40.

Brandon Harrison emailed me back and forth about a problem he needed solved on his 6th Gen video iPod.
He lives here in Santa Rosa (95403) and the problem was, that he was a Windows users that had 'the computer meltdown'... you know standard thing for a PC. And it took all the music files he had on it with him. What he needed was for me to run a data extraction to get the music... 11,484 songs off of it so he could make a new iTunes library.
He brought the iPod by with an old external Maxtor drive that I would copy the songs over to. Initially I had a problem with the docking port's data connectivity. There was pocket link plugging things up. Once that was cleared away I was able to get through the data extraction and park the files on his drive.
Hours and hours later... it was ready for him.
I told him where on my site the instructions were to teach him how to add the songs to his new Windows iTunes Library, and I spent a moment explaining the wisdom of using a Mac instead of a PC. If this were his first "catastrophic failure" of his computer, it might have been wasted time. But he got what i was explaining and at some point he will leave the evil empire.
My instructions allow him to gift all 11,000 songs to all of his friends.
Fixed - Total cost $40.

Leana Sanchez called *and* emailed me from her work in Windsor California.
She lives in Forestville (95436) and works as lab person at the Rodney Strong Winery. As it happens the fellow that runs the operation there, is the son of my ex-father in law's long time friend David Ginter. David's son Tobin worked his way up through the financial department at Mondavi winery and was hired away by the Klein Family Vineyards which owns the Rodney Strong brand to run their operations.
On the way into the building at work Leana dropped her 4th Gen Nano on the hard pavement destroying the glass over the LCD screen. She brought it to me after work and picked it up repaired an hour later. The parts was $5 and labor was $40
Fixed - Total cost $45.
