3rd party batteries for Mini 2nd gen

I need a new battery for my 2nd Gen Mini. I've found a great deal on ebay, but I'm a little nervous about 3rd-party stuff. What do you think?
http://cgi.ebay.com/FOR-IPOD-MINI-REPLACEMENT-850mAh-BATTERY-PACK-KIT-TOOLSW0QQitemZ170425026259QQcmdZViewItemQQptZOther_MP3_PlayerAccessories?hash=item27ae1f86d3
Is this worth trying? What does "non-OEM" mean?

Hello Daboa,
I can tell you what non-OEM means, but I cannot offer any advice regarding the 3rd party replacement battery you provided above. I suggest you do a bit more research online to see what others have had to say about it. Otherwise, try and look elsewhere for replacement batteries. There are several third party repair companies that will offer the parts and service to replace the one in your iPod mini.
For more help and information regarding battery replacements, see this older post of mine.
http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10821733
Basically, non-OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) means that the product was not sold by the original manufacturer of the product, but instead by a third party company. So the battery you would be buying above would be a compatible battery, but it just will not be from the original manufacturer.
Hope this helps.

3rd Party Batteries for MacBook Pro (MacBookPro5,1)

Howdy! I need an extra battery for my MacBook. I see some pretty crappy reviews for the Apple brand, and am considering going to a 3rd party.
Does anybody have any advice as to which one to go to? (I'm looking at macsales...OWC computing, but have nooooo clue.)
Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As far as I know Apple don't make the batteries, a 3rd party does so the quality from another 3rd party might be just as good/bad. Unfortunately in the last few years quality control in the battery manufacturing sector doesn't seem to have been as good as we users would like.
You will read the problems people experience in the forums but not the vast majority situation of good experience. I think Apple are prepared to replace the small percentage of batteries that fail, if only for the good PR this brings.
It is a good idea to have a second battery if you are fairly dependent on significant battery usage between charges. Check the internet for other suppliers, and their warranty if any, and then make your decision.

Ipod mini 2nd gen 1 gb: not detected by laptop (win 7 64 bit), if detected: error during autofill and cannot be restored, please help :D

My laptop does not detect my ipod mini (2nd gen 1 gb), when i connect it the orange light flashe 2 or 3 times then nothing happens. if ever that it will be detected by my laptop and when i sync music on it there will be an error and itunes will suggest to restore it to its factory setting and if i choose to restore it error 3194 happens. so my top priority of course is for it to be detected then fix the latter. please help any will be much appreciated

This is an Answer for a Possible Solution. It worked for me and is still working. The issue I was having with my 64 bit vista, was Apple Mobile Device Service was not being installed, I dont know why. But I disabled any active running program through MSCONFIG, to allow a clean uninterrupted install of ITUNES 8.02. This allowed AMDS and drives from ITUNES to install. Hope this works for most of you.
APPLE, please review your Support Methods. Re-installing doesnt help an issue that resulted from installing.

How to resolve error 1437 on ipod mini 2nd gen

Hi, my ipod mini 2nd gen 6gb is not working properly. I had to reset it as my file was corrupted. However, after
I have reset it, i kept on getting a response such as "the itunes software is not properly installed..not communicating with ipod device,
reinstall your itunes". I had to remove and reinstall itunes again and again, but I kept on getting the same reponse whenever I try to
sync my ipod with my computer. It is also taking a long time for the computer to recognize my ipod mini.
Until now the problem is not yet resolved. Now Im using another computer, and the error that came out --after resetting it again--is
error 1437. I am in the dark as to what is the actual problem. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Turn off Notifications and turn off BlueTooth if you don't use it. If you really need to, you can turn WiFi off as well.
Depending on how often you check e-mail, WiFi will turn back on to do that.

Is there any type of HiFi Station available for the 2nd Gen. iPod shuffle?

I was wondering if there is any type of HiFi Station available for the 2nd Gen. iPod shuffle.
With HiFi Station I mean those docking stations which directly play the music from your iPod, so that you don´t need to connect to your Computer f.e.
Does anybody know if something like this exist, or if it is only available for ALL other iPod models???
Thanks already!
Stefan

YOu can use one of these with any other iPod "HiFi Station": http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/dockshuffle/
Use your 2nd generation iPod shuffle in full-size Universal Dock devices.
Your iPod shuffle is an incredible entertainment value in an incredibly small package. It delivers the music just like its full-size iPod cousins. But one thing it doesn't do is fit in the dock well in your made-for-iPod speaker system.
That's why we made a Dock Adapter especially for 2nd generation iPod shuffle. The Dock Adapter is shaped just like the dock connector on the bottom of every full-size iPod. Plug it into your iPod shuffle's headphone jack, and suddenly the little guy fits in your iPod speakers just like the big guys.
Take Griffin Dock Adapter with you, and you can play your iPod shuffle wherever there's a set of Universal Dock speakers.

Password Remember Button does not function; Can't input 3rd Party Passwords for Social Networks/Emails.

My "Remember" button doesn't work. Simple as that. The "Not Now"
Button still works, and closes the pop-bar. Remember doesn't do anything.
[Exception... "'User canceled master password entry, login not added.' when calling method: [nsILoginManagerStorage::addLogin]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsLoginManager.js :: anonymous :: line 445" data: no]
Occurs when trying to input 3rd Party extension passwords.
I have no master password set, I have also read the "Password not remembered topic", and it didn't help.
Error Console yields this:
"'''Warning: The 'charCode' property of a keyup event should not be used. The value is meaningless.

Line: 0'''"

Okay, I have started Firefox in Safe Mode, and the Remember button still didn't work. After checking the error console, It had the following message again:
"Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "'User canceled master password entry, login not added.' when calling method: [nsILoginManagerStorage::addLogin]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsLoginManager.js :: anonymous :: line 445" data: no]"
After I Evaluated it (In the error console) it gave me a slightly different version:
"Error: missing ; before statement

I read the Troubleshooting extensions & Themes, but It didn't help.
When I tried to read "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager" I get a page that says:
"ERROR

The following error was encountered:

The system returned:

Also, this error occurs in ALL 3rd Party extensions. It can't log me into E-Mail accounts, Facebook, Twitter, anything. The error message has a window title of [JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION] if that says anything.

How do I suggest an accessory for the 2nd gen nano?

I'm trying to make a suggestion to Apple to make a belt clip for the 2nd gen nano like the older 40gb iPods had. How do I make one, because I can't find any sort of suggestion box(for lack of better term)

You may be able to use the apple iPod feedback form
to make that type of suggestion. You might also want
to check other sites that make iPod accessories to
see if they have one that you may like.

Thank you!=)

What is Oracle's recommendation of enabling a 3rd Party application for Online Patching? Is this a requirement with EBS R12.2 or is this something that can be done in phases for e.g.:

Hello -
My Oracle Partner account uses Oracle EBS, Fusion Apps and is in the process of migrating from 10g to 11g; forwarding their question here -
What is Oracle’s recommendation of enabling a 3rd
Party application for Online Patching? Is this a requirement with EBS R12.2 or
is this something that can be done in phases for e.g.
Phase 1: Oracle EBS utilizes Online patching while
the 3rd Party application does not leverage edition based
redefinition for Online patching
Phase 2: 3rd Party application is modified
to leverage edition based redefinition Online patching mechanism.
I would appreciate any insight/recommendations you may have
regarding Online patching for EBS 12.2.

This seems to be related to EBS an may be better answered in the EBS forums as this forum is dedicated to Fusion.

3rd party sellers for RAM for the G62-327CL Notebook that works on it?

Hello, I recently bought my laptop, and I love it. I recently just thought of upgrading it from 3GB RAM to the maximum of 4GB. So I purchased a RAM card from Newegg, theoretically my card should be 100% compatible. It is a 2GB DDR2 SDRAM 800mhz PC2 6400 SO DIMM. But my laptop doesn't start when the new 2GB is in it. When I put the original parts back in, it runs perfectly. I just want to know if people have upgraded this notebook before, and have had better luck. Please I need help.

in case you already didn't know, you can go a long way by tweaking the

we have more "sciencey" needs for our charting than cfchart can easily provide &
use jfreechart for most of our apps' graphing.

though to get the most of this lib you probably need to cough up $65 US for the

3rd party application for album artwork?

Are there any GREAT 3rd party applications for automatically bringing in album art to iTunes? I've got a bunch of old music that the automatic function within iTunes is not getting anything for. I even tried to clean up some of the info (i.e. make sure it had artist, song name, etc in proper fields), but nothing.
If that or another app would correct song data also (probably asking a bit much) that would be awesome. I see where some of my very old stuff from back in the MP3 days will have Artist Name-Song Name as the title.
Any help is appreciated. I dont have a week to do this manually!

MP3Freaker would be your best bet. I've used others but MP3Freaker works flawlessly, and allows you to do three songs for free to show how it works, and how well. It's $23 but it saved me hours of painstaking work going through my 5500 songs

3rd Party Plugins for Flash CS4

Are there any resources to find 3rd party plugins for Flash CS4? I've used plugins in older versions of Flash, but I'm new to CS4. I'm wanting to a lot of cool things with a site including photo carousels, image transitions, visual effects, etc., but I'm not sure where to get started. Perhaps I shouldn't even be looking at plugins? Maybe I am really looking for tutorials on how to make cool effects in Flash?

Haven't seen one. Anyway lists get out of date.
I guess the best way to get the latest information is to visit each manufacturer's web site.

Buy the 64bit AU versions from their respective online stores...
Massive can be found at;

Nexus 2 (as Nexus 1 will not work with Logic Pro X) from;

Do we still need 3rd Party aps for phone calls?

Currently have 2 Skype numbers subscriptions and have always used SkypeMate as my 3rd party ap for connections, which works perfectly. Yesterday, I forgot to open SkypeMate after initializing Skype, but all my Skype calls, including one from USA to NZ, still went through without SkypeMate. This morning, to test it again, I called from my mobile to my Skype number and lo and behold, all calls went through without turning SkypeMate on. Granted, I don't get a dialtone when calling without SkypeMate enabled, but once the number connects, the phone rings as usual and the calls connect flawlessly. So, the bottom line question is: do we need 3rd Party aps when using Skype as a regular telephone? Or has it always been this way and I just discovered it by accident?

It's always been like that. Without Skypemate the phone turns into simply a USB mic/speaker. You will be able to receive phone calls, and answer them manually on the computer you just won't be able to dial out using your phone's keypad. When older versions of Skypemate become incompatible the first thing to go is the keypad capability. Semi functioning versions of Skypemate can still give you the ability to answer phone calls by lifting the receiver or its equivalent. So if you don't require the ability to use the keypad on the phone to dial out then you can simply continue to use the device without Skypemate. I'd be surprised if answering the phone on the keypad actually worked, as I know that functionality does not work with my device without Skypemate and and older version of Skype (6.21).

Mini 2nd gen. doesn't support fully VBR Mp3 ?

Mini 2nd gen. doesn't support fully VBR Mp3 ? All music coded with this method skips during the playback !

It may be an unsupported format try converting them in Itunes by right clicking the VBR songs and than selecting convert to ACC.
