Old user returning, need a quick answer

I used itunes and had an ipod in '07, switched over to the zune when it was released, and let my ipod get lost in a move to a new apt. The laptop I used at the time was destroyed a few months back, and my zune along with it. So Im going to get a new Ipod. My question is, is there any way for me to get my music i purchased restored without that old ipod or laptop, or am i out?

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

Need a quick answer should I get just wi-fi or wi-fi cellular thanks

Need a quick answer should I get wi-fi or wi-fi w/ cellular what do you think is the best way to go. Will be shopping for one in the next few days. Thanks

It depends upon where you will be using it - do you need to be able to access the internet when you are away from wifi networks, and/or do you need built-in GPS (only the cellular iPads have a built-in GPS chip) ? If you get the cellular version then you don't need to activate a service on it until if/when you need it

check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Specs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If it does... then you need to Purchase the Snow Leopard Disc and Install it.
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
Would Also Recommend that you do a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive Before attempting any Major Upgrade...
By far the easiest way to make a Backup, is to use something like

Need a quick answer on advanced search parameters

I am an IT professional, but am not a regular Thunderbird user. I have an e-discovery need to search for multiple terms in a mailbox. The best solution I have found for this is to export the mailbox from Google Apps as an .mbox, and use the importexporttools extension for Thunderbird to import the .mbox.
I then have the mails in a local folder, and right-click on the folder and click on search messages. A number of filters appear, and I put in my terms, select to search within body, for Any results.
This works fine for me but I have two questions:
1. How can I search for something with an apostrophe in it?
For example, if I needed to search for:
'123abc
How would I do it? Quotes? Is there an escape character to state that that needs to be taken literally and isn't a quote or part of a command?
2. Does the search I am performing, or any other way of searching, search within attachments? In Google Apps I can search within attachments - such as text files, or Microsoft Office documents. Is this possible to do?
I searched through the help files and FAQs, but I am not sure if I am using quick filter, or global search etc.
Thanks!

There are different methods of searching.
'''Quick Filter:'''
The Quick Filter can be used to search in the selected folder. There are additional filters to refine the search.
* https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/quick-filter-toolbar
'''Global Search: '''
The Global Search can be used to search all accounts. There are additional filters to refine the search.
* https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-search
'''Account and folder specific Search:'''
'Edit' > 'Find' > 'Search Messages'
or
'Menu Icon' > 'Find' > 'Search Messages'
A new window opens.
At the top you will see: 'Search for messages in' and you can select the mail account or specific folder from the drop down selection. You can choose to 'Search subfolders' if required.
If you are using one search criteria (condition) or more than one but they all must be true, then select 'Match all of the following' option If you are using more than one condition, but any, not necessarily all, can be true, then use 'Match any of the following'.
example test:
Using Account and folder specific Search method.
I set it to search a particular folder.
selected: 'Body' and 'Contains' and typed: "new
click on 'Search' button
It returned only one message.
when I removed the quote mark so it only said: new (not "new)
clicked on search and it returned several possibilites.
So this worked, returning exactly as required.
When I used the 'Global Search' on same folder typing: "new
It returned a search only on : new
Quick filter method also failed to recognise the " used before new.
So in this instance of searching on: "new
neither Global Search nor Quick filter returned the best result although the message required was included in the selection returned.
The best method which worked as required was Using Account and folder specific Search method.
You can search to return any emails with attachments using 'Account and folder specific Search' method.
Quick Filter and Global filter will search on whether the word 'attachments' is in the eg: Body of email, but not necessarilly locate emails with attachments.
Global search will search to include attachment filenames.
Quick filter does not.
As far as I'm aware, you cannot search the contents of an attachment.

Simple question just about any one can answer I need a quick answer.

Of course there are millions of iPod and iTunes users. and of course many of them want to back up their music, Reformat the same PC and pu the music they bought and legaly on Back onto the same PC.
I can't be the first person in iPod history to re-format.
So do I De-Authorize my PC "Before" or "After" I burn a Back up CD.

Well....You can Use iTunes for Backing up your Music, but I do not favor this mehtod.
It works fine for music files BUT: I prefer more control and completeness over my backup process. It is also very important to note that a large limitation of using iTunes to manage the backup is that the iTunes method does not create or maintain backups of the two meta-data files (iTunes Library.itl & iTunes Music Library.xml) where your Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. are stored. See: What are the iTunes Library files?
If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), it is crucial that you also make and archive multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
If your music is located under one common Folder (e.g.-‘iTunes’), then it is easiest to physically copy that folder and all its sub-folders in one simple process. It can be done quickly, and incrementally – several times a day, when necessary. In the case of any data loss, just re-copy your entire (or partial) music library back to wherever it was, placing it in the main Folder that the previous iTunes expected. Along with the ‘iTunes Library.itl’ metadata file, this completes a full ‘restore’ of your music to the time of your last backup.
Use of a backup software program will greatly help. It will allow you to easily perform incremental backups of only the files that have changed. WinXP has such a facility built-in. I use a free program called FileSync ( http://www.fileware.com ). There are many out there. Some use Zipped files or proprietary formats, others use standard file formats. I like FileSync as it uses normal file formats that can be viewed/managed via any Windows program or utility.
iTunes Files to Backup (anytime you make additions or changes to the Music or Library that you want to retain)
1) All music files in their current folder structure (usually located in and under the ‘iTunes Music’ folder)
2) The Library database file: ‘iTunes Library.itl’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
3) The Library XML file: ‘iTunes Music Library.xml’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
4) Any XML playlist files you created for Playlist retention
5) The two iTunes.pref files (optional)
-- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
-- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref
6) The XML file of Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attributes saved from the main Library and created by Otto’s SaveRatings script (also optional, but recommended):
“Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/SaveRatings.zip . It's a program, just run it like any other program. Run it on the machine where you're copying the info from BEFORE you move the files to the new machine. Click the "Save Ratings" button and it'll create a ratings.xml file. Now when you move the files, move the program and this file as well. Then after you make your new iTunes library, run it again and click the "Restore Ratings" button. Voila, all your information is back in the Library. Well, most of it anyway, it's not perfect. It'll tell you what songs it couldn't figure out though, and there's usually not very many.”
Here's a list of possible ways to copy your music files from your main iTunes computer to another storage medium for backup purposes.
1) Use an External Hard Drive to store the complete iTunes meta-data files and underlying Music Folder structure and songs from your main computer. They are quite cheap now, for their storage volume. This is my preferred main medium.
2) If you have Two Computers:
2a) Connect them through a router
2b) Connect them using a Direct (w/Mac) or Crossover (PC/PC) Ethernet cable (See: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3001.html)
2c) Connect them via a USB-to-USB Network Bridge. See: here as an example.
Copy the files and folders from one computer to the other. Use the second PC as your backup repository.
3) Burn several DVDs (at 4.7+ GBs each) with the music data files and store them safely. Re-writable ones are good for backup purposes (if your DVD drive can manage these).
4) Burn 6x more on CDs (at 700MB each) than in #3 above and store them safely in more space Re-writable ones are good for backup purposes (if your CD drive can manage these).
5) Use a larger USB Flash drive (1GB – 4+GBs) to store the files only if you have a small amount ripped music or have multiple and/or jumbo USB drives at your disposal that will fit your music library.
6) Use the Second Internal Hard Drive (if available) of your PC -- not optimum, as you really want to physically separate the storage of backups from the originals, but good as a tertiary storage device.
By keeping only one copy of your music (other than on the iPod), you are not truly 'backed-up' and are running a high risk of losing your music. Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
It is a good policy to backup all your important data. It is a very smart policy to back it up on more than one medium.
External hard drives now run less than $100 for 200-250GBs of storage. Very cheap backup insurance, indeed. See This Link

Please I need a quick answer.

all,
I have lots to do and little time to do it in. I am creating
class files (.as) to create objects to use in my flash file.
However I can not seem to get them to import.
I am not sure how to specify the path to the .as file as it
is in a folder nested below the level that the flash file is in.
/root
myFlash.fla
myFlash.swf
/root/myClasses
myClassA.as
myClassB.as
Would i NOT just specify
import myClasses.MyClassA;
import myClasses.MyClassB;
var myAObj:MyClassA = new MyClassA();
var myBObj:MyClassB = new MyClassB();
-0---------------------
It appears to me that I need to be able to identify each
class a package path or something.
Can someone tell me how to import classes from a nested
structure.
I dont want all the .as files on the same level as the flash
file.
-0---------------------
Thank you all for your assistance.

Okay,
I am using AS2 as I am using Flash 8.
So it looks like in order to have your class files (.as) in a
folder structure,
1. You have to in your flash file import the class
folderName.ClassName;
And here is the odd thing
2. Your class is defined as
class folderName.ClassName{}
If anyone else out there knows a better way or can correct my
assumptions here please post it.

Need A Quick Answer

My sister kept installing PhotoShop and I really just hated the program because it kept slowing down my computer. So I uninstalled it and made Applications "Read only". So now I can't install a program without having to authenticate which is getting annoying. And there's only one account and when I open up "Get Info", under "Ownership & Permissions", the drop down list where it's supposed to say Read only, Read and Write and all the others is grayed out so I can't click on it anymore. So how do I fix it?

Click on the Details triangle and you'll see a little lock. Click on the lock and provide your admin password if needed and you'll be able to use the boxes then.

Want a Mac but I need a quick answer.

Ok I want to buy a Macbook Pro and an iMac. But when I did the calculations I ended up with almost $7000.00. Now that was because I added the upgrades to the two of them. But I would like to know can I get them without upgrades which is about $4000.00. And then take it back to the store and upgrade when I can afford it?

If by "using the Apple Store" you mean that you want to purchase memory elsewhere and have the Apple Store install it, check with your local Apple Store first. Most Apple Stores will not install memory purchased elsewhere. I don't know what other "upgrades" you're referring to, but memory is the only item internal to in either a MacBook Pro or an iMac that's officially field-installable and memory is easy for you to install yourself. Hard drives cannot be installed by the user in either system without voiding the warranty and in my experience an Apple Store will not do hard drive installs except in the case of warranty replacements of failed drives, so you'd have to find an independent authorized Apple service provider to do a hard drive upgrade.

New user who needs help quickly!

Hello!
I am a new user upgrading from using Premiere 6.5. I have had much success but there is one part that I can't figure out. I know on the 6.5 verison I would be able to right click my video, click on "Video" and then click on "motion" to adjust the size of the video as if I wanted to scroll text next to the video. I can't seem to figure that out in this new version. Help!
Thanks,
Vince

Left-click to Select the Clip. Look in the Effects Control Panel and you will see all of the Fixed Effects (Motion, Opacity, etc.) and any Effects that you have added. Their control (plus Keyframing) will be found there. By default, it is in the Pane with the Audio Mixer and the Source Monitor.
Good luck,

Need a quick answer - Inserting into a target located in another schema

on same instance. pls reply.
OWB msg is:
Loading of data across database link is not supported. Deploy this mapping within the same database instance as the actual target and remove the database link access specification from the physical configuration of this data target operator.
What I am doing involves placing data into a table in another schema - error tracking.
OWB 9.2.0.8
- Jojo

I too faced the same problem when loading target tables in different databases. I dont think this can be done.
The way out is create a table having the same structure in your target schema and load it with this mapping and then create a one to one mapping to load the actual table in the other database.

Help! Need a quick answer about motherboard + vid card

Hi everyone,
Okay I am pretty scared right now. I got a new vid card, the MSI n9008gt. I also got a 6pin PCI connector for my power supply to power the card. I have a 450watt power supply. And my motherboard is a GeForce7050M.
I put my card in, I attached the power supply to the card, and then plugged it in and pushed the power button.
I hear my motherboard fan, my HD, and the vid card fan. But no display, and nothing else... I think to myself, hmmm. So I unplug my card and take it out and use the intergrated card, and the fan starts up and my HD starts up, but still nothing happens. The motherboard doesn't even beep... Did I fry my motherboard....? :( This is what I fear the most.
(and no I'm not on that PC right now this is an older one.)

Quote from: asamkipas on 09-January-09, 01:27:27
haha I think it is the n9800gt catd...must be a typo
Oh please provide your full system spec
whoops, yeah it's the n9800gt. Typo.
Ok, my full system spec:

Motherboard    ECS nVidia GeForce 7050M-M Motherboard

Ports    6 USB 2.0 Ports, 1 Serial
Case    1285 Deluxe Black Tower Case
Power Supply    450 Watt Power Supply
(I just lazily copy and pasted, sorry for all the info hahaha)
But I'm figuring that I don't even hear the bios beeps, so the motherboard is just fried.

Please help!! I have an audio issue and am creating a slide show for a funeral. I need a quick answer...

I have created an itunes playlist to use with a slideshow in iDVD. However, there s an instrumental that is being inserted that I did not put there. Why is that and how do I get it to stop?

Hi
Have no idea on WHY but what I would do.
• in iTunes - Burn out PlayList as an Audio-CD .aiff (no .mp3)
• Use the files on this CD in Your SlideShow projects
I create my SlideShows in iMovie HD6 or FinalCut - never iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 as result is less than I accepts (they discard every second line when exporting to iDVD)

Ipod Audio Error. Just need a quick answer...

My ipod will not put sound out to the right channel on my headphones. I have tried different sets of headphones, so i know it is the ipod. Any idea what the issue is? I tried cleaning out the 3.5mm jack on the ipod with a q-tip and alcohol. Any other ideas?

Hi,
It is likely a hardware issue if doing the Restore does not solve the problem.
Cleaning by inserting a q-tip is a bad idea, as it could damage the headphone jack further.
Purly guessing, the metal part contact of the headphone jack, may some how widen the gap and the headphone's right channel jack losses tha contact with it.
