Google It Dude in Katy TX.

 

With the creation of the Old Farts Club by our friend Myrl Jeffcoat I thought it was appropriate for me to post about my recent IPod issues and the solution. I work out on average 5 times a week in the early morning. As a way to survive I have my IPod playing classic rock music on the whole time I am at LifeTime Fitness.

 

Three weeks ago or so my IPod keep playing the same song over and over again. This situation takes my mind off what I am doing and forces me to concentrate on pulling the IPod out of pocket and changing the song. I had no idea how or why this situation occurred.  No matter what I did nothing corrected my IPod issue. This post is perfect for the Old Farts Club as I was totally lost what to do. I even considered buying a new IPod. I could use my IPhone but the weight plus size does not work so well when lifting weights or using a treadmill.

 

After one morning of frustration with this IPod, I remembered the infamous words of my soon to be 25 year old (expert on all topics)  stepson being “Google it Dude”. As I was typing in the question Google gave me the full title for the search. Obviously this topic has been searched numerous times in the past and I am not the only technology challenged person out there! The first 3 links shown on the search discussed older versions of an IPod as it seems Google really does not factor in time or date into the search rankings. I have seen this situation many times with searches   The fourth item told me exactly what to do to solve this issue. I grabbed the IPod and in a few seconds this repeating the same song over and over again nonsense was gone. I was relieved and at the same time I felt a little stupid as it took me about 4-5 days of working out  pain to finally “Google it Dude”!

I would be a member of the Google club, Bob. I seem to Google everything and now with such Smart Phones it's so easy to do no matter where we are or what we're doing.

John's writing an offer with a buyer as I read and comment. We thought we'd actually have an off day but not to be. Thankful and blessed.

I google a lot of stuff.  What we would do without that great search engine, Bob?

Thanks everyone for the comments. I  use Google a lot but for some reason I zoned out doing just that for this darn IPod problem!

Yup! I too am really technically challenged. I Google stuff all the time and that too can get quite frustrating on my old brain.

Bob - I must tell you that I am often suggesting to people that they "Google it."  A friend was always asking me questions and no way did I have the answer.  I've found so much tech help on subjects.. all you have to do is Google it Dude!!!

I rely on Google so much now, that I have even had it in my dream, where I didn't know something that I needed to Google . . .

Bob being an Old Fart myself I mean member of the Group, my solution would have been different:)) I would have connected the problem to Jogging in the morning, hence I would have eliminated jogging and the problem would have been solved:)), Endre

Good morning Bob. It takes too long to figure some of this out, so I will always Google it and get the answer. It just gets me to the answer that much quicker.

Make it a great week!

Amazing how in just a few years our world has changed. I guess past 50 makes one an old fart and just being one, isn't using a computer, Googling it an oxymoron. I know another 50 cent word, cheers cvc
