Early adopter, please help!!!!
Hi, i'm an italian early adopter of iPod Nano 4G, so sorry for my poor english.
I was successful in connecting the first time iPod on my PC, and starting a download process.
After the download ended, the icon of ejecting ipod suddenly disappeared, and appeared a yellow triangle spotting that there was a damage on a file in Itunes.exe: \ipo_control\Music.
My Pc recognized Ipod, but not Itunes.
The other fact was that my iPod spent 1.5g of his capacity for storing...nothing!But the elapsed capacity was signed in the "About" list.
I tried to follow the hints on the apple site, trying to update, to restore, to disinstall and reinstall software, but after by after the situation collapsed, my iPod began not even being recognized by Pc(a generical "removable disposal G: appeared), the update prompts slowed down 'till death,and now if i try to access to the ipod via Pc it prompts that the file directory is damaged and not readable, i wasn't able to do anything, and now i'm stuck in this situation.
Maybe i can try to call the italian green number for assistance, but really my first contact with an apple product was bad.
What could i do now?On the ipod screen every time i connect it the prompt "do not disconnect" continues to roll and roll, i don't know if disconnect, not disconnect for not create a worse situation, i really tried everything but try by try the problems rised up instead of dropping down.
Please help me, thank...
Run the Chkdsk utility
You could run the chkdsk utility on your iPod. But Restoring your iPod has the same effect as running chkdsk. Chkdsk does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode as above
2) Determine the drive letter of your iPod from My Computer
3) Go to Start, Run
4) Type cmd. Hit Enter to take you to the Command Prompt.
5) Type chkdsk /f X:, where X is the drive letter of your iPod. Hit Enter, and any corrupt files are found and corrected.

Early Stages, please help. Thanks
I'm currently a java student (Early Stages) and having problems with a small paint program. I dont expect a direct answer as it is part of assignment, but i am having trouble, the line does not draw now..
I have tryed the paint(Graphics g) method that does work when i draw a line, but its not what i want. i am now creating a Graphics component directly in the mouseDragged() method.
Also if you could tell me why the mouse is off when i draw the line.

}Do i need a super.paint(g) somwhere?
Many thanks
WillThere are three problems here. First off, you're reassigning oldX and oldY in the mouseDragged() method. This method is called every time the mouse is moved while having a button down - not the behaviour we want (I assume we just want to draw a straight line between (oldX, oldY) and (newX, newY). This can be fixed by simply deleting the appropriate lines (i.e. "oldX = newX;" and "oldY = newY;") in the mouseDragged method.
Once you do this and run it, you'll find you have a second problem - the line disappears as soon as you stop moving the mouse. Again in your mouseDragged method, you're calling repaint(), which is a method in the JFrame class and actually repaints the entire frame from scratch - again, not what we want. Instead, all you need to do is erase the line by replacing repaint with a call to fillRect() that paints over the panel in the background colour, before painting the new line. By now, your mouseDragged() method should look something like:
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
newX = e.getX();
newY = e.getY();
Graphics g = drawPane.getGraphics();
// get rid of the previous line...
g.setColor(Color.white);
g.fillRect(0, 0, drawPane.getWidth(), drawPane.getHeight());
// ...and draw the new one
g.setColor(colour);
g.drawLine(oldX,oldY,newX,newY);
}Now the third problem is that your line disappears when you press one of the colour buttons. This is because in the actionPerformed() method of your ButtonListener class, you are again repainting the entire frame. By replacing the call to repaint() with the following:
Graphics g = drawPane.getGraphics();
g.setColor(Color.white);
g.fillRect(0, 0, drawPane.getWidth(), drawPane.getHeight());
g.setColor(colour);
g.drawLine(oldX,oldY,newX,newY);You'll have fixed the problem. Better still, put these lines of code into a private method and call it from the actionPerformed() and mouseDragged() methods. -
Late 07 vs. Early 08: Please help
A friend offered me a pick between a late 07 and early 08 macbook pro. I remember the early 08 has a penryn chip and less cache.
Which one is better to have? Thankslegaleye300,
Well, I've gone back and looked at the graphics specs for both models, and it does appear that the older 8600Ms also had DDR3 GRAM. At the time of the early '08 release, there was much mention of the newer GPU's better performance, over the earlier version of the same GPU. So, there must be something else about it that boosts its performance. All of the new models (new in early '08) did come with more GRAM, "stock," but it doesn't seem to me that this alone would account for the higher performance.
The benchmarks I saw at the time amounted to around 140% of the graphics performance of the previous generation, and fully 200% of the even older Macbook Pros with the X1600. My own experience, comparing my early '08 to its X1600 predecessor, bore this out.
Regardless of the "little details," there are distinct advantages to the early '08 models, above and beyond the addition of multi-touch capabilities.

Audio suddenly dose not work!! PLEASE HELP
I just tried to watch a youtube video and there was no audio. I tried some other things which should have sound, no sound.... I tried raising and lowering the audio level (didn't even play the little poppy sounds for each level of audio change) but still nothing... I tried restarting the computer... Still nothing.... This is the iMac 20" early 2006. please help. thanks for your time...
Hi kevin.film
When you plug something into the iMac's output jack the internal speakers are disabled by a micro switch inside of the jack. Maybe the port's internal micro switch is stuck and the MIDI setup thinks you still have a set of headphones plugged in.

Hello,
I've done an ample amount of Internet research to find an answer to this problem however nothing yet found is quite like this. I will start from the beginning.
I am traveling through Europe, and I normally live in California. When I arrived in Ireland my MBP early 2011 15 inch, began crashing constantly when I had several tabs open on Chrome and maybe one or two low CPU/Memory using applications, nothing the 8gb RAM &750gb hard drive can't normally handle. Thus I began trouble shooting. I ran disk utility once started up and repaired both disk and permissions. Still crashing. It didn't seem like it had anything to do with a kernel panic shut down, I never would receive the usual message indicating so. After that I did an SMC reset. It was still crashing. I then upgraded the OSX from 10.8 to 10.8.4 believing it could help. It did momentarily, but then crash again. (When it crashes screen goes black suddenly and upon pressing power button does a regular boot on my single partition). I decided attempting to repair using the Internet recovery option but it appeared my MBP had not yet have it installed, so I downloaded from Apple and began installing. Here I made a mistake, I unplugged the power source as it was restarting. When the gray screen and apple appeared, the loading bar shows up as it says it will when installing the update, but when the bar fully loads it crashes every time. I've tried starting in safe mode, which then loads but never goes further (I let it stand for two hours such as that and nothing). Then I decided to allow the MBP to fully charge overnight to give it time and charge. This morning the problem has stayed the same, even with power source plugged in. Please help I need this to work.
Thank you and please ask any questions!Your constant crashing problem is probably some type of hardware fault which no update can fix. Doing the 10.8.4 update and then the firmware update just caused further problems. you need to take thr system to a apple store to be diagnosed and fixed if cost effective.

I looked in Firefox properties to find what I Firefox i am using and it shows the following:
The Firefox File version is: 1.9.2.3951
The File Name is: 1.9.2.12
The Product Version is: 3.6.12
My problem is this: The company I work for "Prudential R.E." has online training courses. I can't access it because I get the following message: "You cannot play the learn 2 course content with this version of netscape" because it has no live connect support"
The training center for Prudential told me this: ""Currently the LearnCenter does not support Firefox 3.6 but does support the
earlier versions and this could be the issue.""
How do I get the earlier version of Firefox?
And if I can get the earlier version of Firefox. "How do I fix this problem? Do I uninstall all of Firefox and then reinstall the earlier version if I can get access to a download of it somewhere?
