How to Make a Soft Tip Stylus for the iTouch


Test your kitchen sponge by brushing it across the iPod touch's screen to make sure it can be detected by the device. Organic sponges typically perform the best, but you may need to experiment with different types and brands to find one that the iPod touch can detect.
Cut a rectangular piece of sponge approximately 1 inch by 2 inches. The depth is determined by the depth of the kitchen sponge, but is ideally around 1 inch.
Squash the sponge and roll it into a tight cylindrical shape 1 inch long.
Wrap the thin copper wire around half of the sponge to help it keep its cylindrical shape. Leave at least 6 inches of copper wire free.
Twist or unscrew the artist's charcoal holder to open it wide enough to slide the copper-bound side of the sponge cylinder into it. Tighten the holder to grip the sponge, leaving approximately one-quarter of an inch of sponge protruding from the holder. The free piece of wire should also protrude from the end of the holder.
Wind the remaining length of wire around the holder. Keep the wire tight, though the spiral can be quite wide. Secure the wire at the opposite end of the holder to the sponge using a piece of sticky tape. The stylus is now ready for use on your iPod touch.

How to Download Pictures to a Mac Computer


Hook up the USB download cable that came with the camera. Turn on the computer. Open iPhoto and plug the USB cable into one of the Mac's USB ports. Turn on the camera.
After a short period, iPhoto will open a dialog box with the camera's name. Type in the name of the roll of film, and if desired, a short description of that particular roll of film. Click the 'Import' button and the pictures will begin to download to your Mac.
Wait until all the pictures have been imported to the computer. Upon completion, find the 'Source' portion of iPhoto and click on the 'Eject' button. Turn the camera off and unplug the USB cable.
Locate the new pictures in the 'Source' section under 'Last Roll' or by the film roll name in the 'Library' section. Many Mac computers do not have media slots where the camera's memory card could be inserted. Continue to Step 5 if you do not have the USB cable for camera.
Ensure that the camera is turned off and remove the SD memory card. Open the flip top on the SD/USB flash drive and insert the SD card. Close the flip top and insert the flash drive into the Mac's USB port. Proceed as described in Step 2 and when download is complete, eject the flash drive and reinstall in the camera.
