my ipod 4th gen gets wiped clean of music anytime I sync. it then only redownloads some of the music in the library and wont upload missing songs.  They show on the ipod grayed out. How do I get this to stop? re-uploading takes 4 hours and is never completed.  I only get some of the 6000+ songs I have. This started when I updated to IOS5 i think.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:                                 
iOS: How to back up           
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • When creating a comment summary, I want to end up with a pdf of comments only. In addition, I do not want author, date, time, or page number to show in my comments summary. How can I do this?

    When creating a comment summary, I want to end up with a pdf of comments only. In addition, I do not want author, date, time, or page number to show in my comments summary. How can I do this? I do a lot of reading, and when I summarize my comments, I like to save these comments in a larger document I compile over time. I typically create a comment summary, export it to a text editor and find myself having to delete author, date, time, page number, and anything else that is not the raw and net comment. It would save me some good time if someone showed me how to do this. The reason I do not want any additional information is because it simply adds stuff I do not need in my compilation of summaries for large amounts of papers over time.

    What you're describing can't be achieved using the built-in comments summary function of Acrobat, but it can certainly be done if a custom-made script it used to generate the summary because then you're in full control of what's included in it and what's not.

  • The edt option in the orange drop down menu is grayed out, how do I fix this?

    It's the first time that I've went into the drop down menu since installing the latest FF and the edit option it grayed out, and not letting me access it.

    That is normal. Does the menu open if you hover the arrow at the right of the Edit entry in the App menu?
    Does the Paste link get highlighted if there is content on the clipboard and a text area is selected?
    The entries in the Edit menu only work if they apply and there is something to do like text is selected and Copy will work.

    Re: Messages Menu Commands Greyed Out
    A simple solution...
    After much troubleshooting, I have isolated the issue with the greyed out "Messages" app menu. The problem is due to the truetype font Apple Gothic missing which is required for the AppleID login window when you first launch Messages. You can just hit skip when the dialog box comes up, but until you do so the full messages menus are not available. So to fix, just drop AppleGothic.ttf in <bootdrive>/Library/Fonts and Messages 8.x should launch correctly. Apple should have really included this font in <bootdrive>/System/Library/Fonts since it is required for one of their Apps
    Many people in the prepress or graphics arts fields will likely run into this issue when they customize fonts.

  • Replacing tracks in live mix results in bleed-through of some of the prior recording. How do I prevent this?

    I was doing some recording of our band yesterday using Logic Express 9 (13 tracks from a mixer going out the Firewire port into the Mac). For some songs, we wanted to replace the entire song, so I activated the replace button and started re-recording from the beginning. Visually it seemed to replace the tracks, and for many parts of the songs, it did just that. For some, however, there were still remnants of the prior recoding in the background. It was not consistent from song to song, sometimes you could hear some of the prior vocals in the background, in other cases the drums. These remnants were not throughout the entire song, however. You could hear it in some places but not in others. I do not see evidence of multiple takes when I look through all the tracks. It's as if it did not completely erase some of the prior audio, or blended it with the new recording.
    Is there something else I need to do to get a complete replacement?
    Thanks for any insights you may have.

    Hi,
    if you have recorded the whole band through microphones, the earlier versions are ambient sound pickup from the mics of the other tracks. This can even occur if a singer wears a very loud headphone which you can hear through the vocal microphone. Just make sure during your recording session that all instruments that should be recorded very precise - without ambient sound - are recorded separately in a dry recording booth.

  • Would like to use WD MyBook external SOLELY for my iPhoto library and remove it from my hard drive to clear up space. How do I do this?

    I just bought a 3TB My Book that I would like to store my iPhoto library on and remove it from my hard drive completely. I am running Time Machine with another external drive as back up and would like to use Time Machine to also back up my photos that will be on my My Book external. How do I move my iPhoto library to my new external and delete it from my hard drive? The catch is that I only want this new external to be for my iPhoto. I don't want Time Machine to start backing up my entire hard drive, since I already have an external dedicated to back up. I have not attached my external yet because I am afraid it will automatically start backing up my entire hard drive. I am very experienced on a Mac but not very technical so please, no big words and THANKS MUCH in advance!!

    First format the drive to OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored:
    Next drag your iPhoto library from your Pictures folder to the EHD.  When the copying is complete launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and in the window that comes up select the library on the EHD:
    Check the file path under the window to make sure the correct library has been selected.
    Once you've confirmed that the EHD library is working properly and has all of your photos you can delete the library in your Pictures folder.

  • Navigation "Back" and "Forward" buttons are inactive, they do not work at all. How do I fix this?

    I have downloaded the latest version of firefox and the navigation buttons in the browser will not work in any way. The "Back" and "Forward" buttons are completely un-usable.

    Toolbar misbehavior could be due to a problematic add-on (e.g., theme or extension), or a corrupted settings file. Next time you upgrade -- and for security reasons, it is highly recommended -- try Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether you can pin it on an add-on or custom setting. You also could clear your toolbar settings.
    More info on Safe Mode:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
    Does the toolbar work correctly?
