A few questions with getting my iPod replaced.

I have an 80 GB iPod classic that was bought for me last December at Target. Last night, it froze, so I rebooted it. When it rebooted, instead of going into the regular menu, it gave me an x inside of a circle with www.apple.com/support/ipod. I went into the diagnostics mode and checked everything. When I went to check the hard drive, it couldn't be opened. I would like to know if I can get a replacement even though they do not sell my iPod model anymore, and if they can tell the iPod is less than a year old without the original receipt. Also, will they charge me a fee for upgrading to a larger iPod? If so, how much?

Go here: http://www.apple.com/support/oss/ to enter your serial number and see what your service options are. If you are under warranty they will probably replace it with a refurbished iPod of the same generation.
There is no "upgrade" of ipods. They will charge you whatever the retail cost is of the model you want to buy.

How can I get an ipod replacement dock on my Ilive it188b or have it repaired?

The ipod dock on my Ilive it188b stopped working and doesn't play or charge my compatible ipod which works on my other stereo. Everything else on the stereo works fine. I contacted the company and they would not sell me a replacement dock because of their agreement with Apple. How can I get an ipod replacement dock on my Ilive it188b or have it repaired? I have checked locally, and the electronics hospital reapair place will not work on it. Is my only option to try and sell it on craigslist or ebay?

You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
If it's busted, you get a replacement.

Few question to get going w adobe stuff...

Ok I have a few questions, maybe you can help me...
A) ORGANIZER RELATED QUESTIONS:
1) How/where do I back up photo/videos/settings from adobe organizer?
1b) If I decide to upgrade from pse9 to ps cs5 is it real simple to 'import.transfer' organizer to the big dog ps cs5?
1c) Same thing (but for videos) if decide to upgrade to premiere pro from premiere elements 9 is it easy to import organizer?
2) Organizer - are there physical copies of my photos/videos in some other adobe organizer folder
or are they just linked to similar to windows 7 and libraries?
B) Photoshop & Premiere Elements 9 vs Photoshop cS5 & Premiere Pro
1) Does After Effects work with premiere elements 9?
1b) Recommend some good starter plug in collections for video editing.?
2) If I decide to upgrade/buy photoshop cs5, do all of my plug ins I've got installed with elements 8 as host get automatically transferred to ps cs5? Or do I have to manually reinstall all over?
3) How much simpler is photoshop elements to learn than ps cs5 and premiere pro?
Is the learning curve about the same just more of it to learn (and additional function of course)
Thanks everybody - have a ton more questions, but gonna lay low and watch some tutorials for about a YEAR first....
One last thing...
I love this site, but variety is the spice of life. Can you guys recommend some other Adobe ps/premeire learing sites and help/discussion forums that would be valuable

A.1) Click File >>Back Up catalog to CD DVD or Hard Drive.
1b) You can convert a PSE catalog in CS5 but works best with photos only. Project files like slideshows and videos might cause the conversion to stall.
1c) Premier Pro has it’s own media browser.
2)There are no physical copies. The Organizer only makes links to the folders on your computer.
B.1)AE is fully integrated in CS5.5 Production Premium but I’m not sure if it works on a stand alone basis, although I don’t see why not.
1b) Sorry don’t know any plug-ins to recommend but 32 bit plug-in's will not work with AE.
2) You would need to move plug-ins manually.
3) Just more of it. In PS CS5 you get great things like the pen/paths tool and tone curves. With Premier pro you ideally need a fast 64 bit system with high end GPU to take full advantage of the mercury Playback Engine.
Try adobe TV for all sorts of video tutorials for the various products.
Good luck.

Problems with getting my Ipod Touch to work on my Sony Bravia or any TV

I am having problems with getting videos or movies to play on my Sony Bravia HDTV or any TV. I have a first generation Ipod Touch and I have the Apple AV Composite Cables and all I get is sound for both TV's that I tried. I read one post where some guy had a faulty Ipod that wouldn't work. Does anyone know how of something hidden or special that needs to be done or how did they fix the problem if they had the same one? Thank, ejcarlson

Check connection, if you have a case on your Ipod the connection may not be good enough.

Few Questions Before Getting Leopard

I want to install leopard but i have a few questions:
1. If i install it will it overwrite everything on my mac like documents, movies, pictures etc.
2. What will happen to my bookmarks, cookies etc.
3. Do i have to reinstall all my apps?

Hello! The biggest factor in an upgrade is making SURE BEFOREHAND that all your system tweaks and apps are Leopard ready. Most of the disaster stories are from those who blindly upgraded without checking their apps and haxies. The pref pane "Application Enhancer" usually resulted in an inoperable system so check it out for sure because many folks have forgotten that they installed it years ago. Tom

If my battery life is getting lower and lower, can I get my iPod replaced with a new one with the guaranty?

Bought my iPod 10months ago, now the battery life is really bad!!! I need to know if I can get it replaced with the guaranty! Thanks :)

I'd make an appointment at your local apple store, have them check it out and see what they say. If they determine that it's a manufacturer's defect then they may replace it.
In case they do, I'd do a full sync and backup before you take it in.

Can I get my ipod replaced under these conditions??

I have the first generation mini ipod which was given to me as a replacement for my old one, which i got exchanged a couple weeks before the 1yr warranty would have expired. So this replacement I have (got it in December) is starting to do weird things. The menu button doesn't work, i cant turn it off by holding the play button, and toggling the hold button makes the ipod do the functions the menu should do, like going back and lighting up the screen. Is it possible to get a replacement replaced? or does anyone know how to solve this problem?

If you got your replacement iPod in December, it's no longer within the warranty.
With any replacement iPod, you get either a 90 day warranty or the remainder of the original 12 month warranty whichever is the longest.
Have you been through these?

A few questions with regards to slicing text

Hi there,
I have been busy slicing my image up in fireworks and i am
very happy with it, i am using the extended script for slicing...
Anyway, all is going well :-) After some help yesterday...
But i have come across a small issue, i am going to try and
explain it without rambling too much .. i hope somebody understands
I have a sort of rounded rectangle (well it round on the
right hand side) .. and this has text over the top.. They are both
on a different layer (fireworks layer).. i.e. square with round
corners on right and text that sits in it = 2 fireworks layers
I highlight the left part of the graphic and Edit, Insert,
Slice and the little bit on the right for my rounded part, i draw
the slice in, my idea is to have a div and the left not a graphic
just a color and the right is an image (background)..
and then obviously the text within the left part (which is
only a color) - the text needs to be kept as html text as they will
be anchors
Problem is.. the right part is ok.. (my rounded corners)..
but my left part i have set to Background image and it exports it
as an image with the text as an image..
Actually thinking about that ... thats pretty logical!! ah
ah... How do i say export this has a background color only?
I tried chaning the slice type to HTML, do i need to enter
something in here???
And how would i get the text also to be entered in
I hope i sort of made myself understood, if not i can post a
few screenshots....????
They do say a picture is worth a thousand words :-)
Thanks alot in advance

Hey Ian:
Auto slices do exist, but they are only an issue if you
export HTML and
Images. CSS and Images ignores any unsliced areas (other than
text or
simple rectangles)
So if you're going the CSS route, yes, you will need to slice
all the
pieces you need, which need to remain as graphics. The
advantage to this
method is that you do not end up with a whole bunch of
unnecessary auto
sliced graphics,which you would get from exporting as HTML
and images.
Also, slicing gives you the ability to individually optimize
each slice
graphic AND give them useful names. Auto slices in FW have
auto-generated file names, which you cannot customize.
As I've mentioned, CSS and Images will respect rectangles and
export
them as DIV's. The catch is the rectangle must be created in
FW for this
to work. PS vectors (or bitmap boxes) are not respected as
true
rectangles for export.
So, what I did with your template was create a new rectangle,
edit it so
the one corner was rounded, and delete the main navigation
bar slice. I
restructured the objects in the Layers panel (gawd love
poorly organized
templates - so many objects, all called
layer-something-or-other)so my
new rectangle was underneath the navbar text. I left the text
visible.
And I gave the new rectangle a name: navbar.
I created slices for the other obvious graphics, as well.
Went to File > Export and chose CSS and Images.
The export produced a page layout relatively similar to the
design,
including a DIV called "navbar" for the submenu, and real
text.
Is it perfect? No. Just try adding a couple more links and
you'll see
what happens.
All this is great from a mock up perspective, but I'm betting
that you
will want different submenus to dynamically appear depending
on the main
menu choice. That cannot be done using Fireworks. You'll want
to look at
other solutions, perhaps from Project 7, for CSS-based pop up
menus,
which work with Dreamweaver to simplify the creation of pop
up menus.
I hope this helps. email me off-list if you like, and I will
send you
the updated PNG file.

A few questions to get me started on Photos

1) I have folders under "pictures" on the Mac root folder. They are called: 2014; 2014 New York; 2014 Birthday; 2014 Katy Perry; etc. I would like to import each of these as an album bearing the same name. Is there a way to do that automatically? I have over 500 albums spanning 4 decades
2) Once imported I want to organize all the albums of one year (e.g. the ones I mentioned above) under one folder named after the year (e.g. 2014). Is that something I can do on folders or should I do it on smart albums?
3) I want to categorize my albums by "parties", "trips", "concerts", etc. So I would like to have "2014 Katy Perry" along with "2013 Lady Gaga" and "2010 ACDC" in one location called "concerts", but I would still like to have them in their own albums, as opposed to all the photos loose in the folder. How do I do that?
4) Face recognition. It doesn't seem to be working right. I have been prompted the same face in photos taken within minutes of each other and it still requires me to assign a name to each photo. It is obviously not recognizing the faces. How do I solve this? On the same topic, can I select several photos at the same time and drag them to one of the face circles above the screen?
5) I don't want to upload my photos to the cloud, I want to have them on my Mac. But I would like to use all the photos me and my wife take on our iphones and ipads to be synced via the cloud so I can download them to my hard drive, and organize them by folders and albums just like my previous photos. So my questions are: a) can I decide where in my Mac do these photos get stored? b) can I then delete them from the cloud? c) will they be stored only in the location I decide, or will copies be kept elsewhere in my Mac?
6) How can make my photos work as screen saver on my apple TV? Can I choose which ones? How?

MVC is fine.
What to begin with? Design first.

A few questions with XML and Flash

Hi there.
I am currently trying to create a 3d carousel using AS2 and XML. I've made a lot of progress, but there ar e few things I am still struggling with and was hopoing that someone here could please steer me in the right direction.
Here is a URL where the Carousel can be found:
http://iongeo.com/ru_innovation_test_dev/carousel_test.html
Here are a few of the things I am wondering:
1. I would like to be ablle to add a back button movide clip, similar to how the tooltip movie clip is presented now; this movie clip would be able to allow users to go back home to the caousel. I can't seem to get it to load correctly however, I would imagine that it would be set up similarly to how the tooltip icon is set up now, but to be able to have an alpha of 100 when the text is loaded in.
2. I was also wondering how I mihgt be able to add links to my .xml document to be able to call in URLs on the web. I've tried several things using the CDATA approach, but can't seem to get it to work.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance privded and am very greatful for any consideration thac ould be provided. Please let me know if there is anything htat I should clarify on.

I have a few questions about 5th gen ipod

My iPod has a very sluggish transfer rate for my music and I wanna connect it with the firewire cable I got with my old mini. When I do I get a message saying it's not supported on the ipod. Does anyone know if that is just me or if there is a firmware update.
Also I have both a iMac G4 flat panel and a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop. I've had some video problems with my iMac(as you might have seen) and I am thinking of selling it on ebay, does anyone know how I can transfer the music from the mac to the windows laptop without networking or installing the ipod on the windows and transferring through that?
Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The 5th Gen iPods do not support Firewire for data transfer. You can only charge via Firewire. This is not a firmware issue. There's no firewire controller in the 5th Gen iPod.

Your iMac probably has a CD-RW drive. If so, just burn the tracks as a Data/MP3 CD, and then import that CD into your iTunes library on the Windows machine. You can fit hundreds of tracks on a DATA/MP3 CD.

Few questions with pacman

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but does the default server contains the same packages on the repository package list on archlinux.org main page?
I see a lot of updates for certain packages like the ones for xfce today, but I don't think using pacman -Syu give me any updates, sorry but I keep getting these confusion using arch, there's a wiki around while it does tell you how to do specific tasks, I still get confused over some really simple stuff that are or that aren't there, for example I couldn't find any mirrors url in my own pacman.conf file, I understand that wiki shows you how to add your own and even given you a list of mirrors, but there gotta be a server you're already using as default? How do you know which server you're currently using or is there another file for that?
I came from ubuntu and I'm used to seeing a bunch of server in the sources.list but I'm not quite seeing the same with pacman.conf so I'm quite confused, still trying to learn
Also I'm getting the following when doing sudo pacman -Syu:
db_read: error: /var/lib/pacman/extra/libticalcs-1.0.2-1/depends: No such file or directory
How could I fix that? Thanks
Current, extra, unstable and community seems to sync fine but for some reason I can't install xfce4-goodies, it's not in the database, I'm not sure if my pacman.conf is messed up since I remember myself installing xfce4-goodies with no problems.

I believe the updates (the ones that appear on the main page) hit the main ftp.archlinux.org server first. That server is throttled, however, so you probably want to use a mirror instead. It might take a while for the mirror you're using to sync with the main server; that accounts for the delay.
You'll find the server list in /etc/pacman.d/ -- there should be five files in that directory, one for each repository: community, current, extra, release, and unstable. You configure which repositories you want to use in pacman.conf, but pacman.conf doesn't actually contain the URLs for the mirrors. So, for example, if you want to use current, extra, and community, you set that up in pacman.conf. Then you check /etc/pacman.d/current, /etc/pacman.d/extra, and /etc/pacman.d/community to fiddle with which mirror you want to use.

A few questions from a potential iPod Touch buyer

I may be buying an iPod Touch soon, but have some questions first.
1. Do all ofthe games that are made for the iPhone also work on the iPod Touch?
2. How does WiFi work exactly? For example, will I be able to access my email through my iPod Touch when I am at work in an office environment? Will I be able to access it at home where I have a home internet connection? Or do I need to go to a WiFi hot spot like a Starbucks?

1. Do all ofthe games that are made for the iPhone also work on the iPod Touch?
No, not all, though most will. The game should specify its requirements in the App Store.
2. How does WiFi work exactly? For example, will I be able to access my email through my iPod Touch when I am at work in an office environment? Will I be able to access it at home where I have a home internet connection? Or do I need to go to a WiFi hot spot like a Starbucks?
Any WiFi hotspot to which you have open access should work. For any hotspot that has security and so requires special configuration to access, you'll have to check with the administrator of the hotspot. Most will work, but some may have special security arrangements that would not work with an iPod.

Few questions about getting rid of unwanted items

OK, i should have done this from the start but I didn't do a fresh install of my OS to get rid of language support, etc....now I am into using my blackbook and have all my camino and safari bookmarks, etc the way I like it.....is there a way to save these preferences on an external HD and do a clean install of OS? If this is possible it is the method I prefer.
OR
Should I just remove what I don't want manually instead? does monolingual work with intel macbooks? do I just trash printer prefs into the trash? How do I make sure my officetrial also gets rid of the 'files' hanging around? (i read a post where someone trahsed MS office and still had files haning around)...
Basically if I stay away from my 'users/library' folder I will be safe? I can trash applications that don't want and be safe?
thanks all

Here is what about monolingual:
Monolingual is a program that can remove other languages that installed by default by OS X installer that you don't want or use. It also offer to trim down the Input Menu and Architecture.
http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/
Here is the tips:
1. Since you only run this once, you can run it directly from virtual drive that mounted after you download the .dmg file by simply double click on its icon.
2. Uncheck the language you want to keep, for I uncheck English, British English and US English to keep.
3. Never play with the input menu for it is not worth of the space you save comparing to the risk you will lost control to your keyboard and have to re-install OS X from the scratch.
4. Never remove and play with architecture option as well for the space is also not worth, and you might lose rosetta ability to run non universal programs.
Good Luck.

A few questions about getting DSL

   Hi, my home has been out of range for DSL and we've been patiently waiting for years for the day to come when it's available, but it doesnt look like it'll be happening soon. We have a small business we run out of the house and have been paying a fortune a month for those mobile cellular internet cards (a little faster than dial-up) and figured we'd save money eventually if we could just pay verizon engineers to run another base station or repeater to extend the line to reach us.
   My question is would this even be possible, and if so how much do you think it would cost, just an estimate, our neighbors about a mile away (through the power lines) have it. We've pretty much exhausted all other options and need high speed for our growing business.
Thanks

Many years ago, engineers finally got the attention of top management. 3G cell phone now do more than copper land lines. That created enough panic among bean counters to finally let them install FIOS. Copper is now dying. Anything in copper that might become available is only because it always existed. Your only upgrade is now FIOS.
Meanwhile, competition also exists. For example, internet via Direct TV. Also coming is Wi-Max. Intel has been at this for about ten years. So it should be coming soon. Wi-Max is WiFi but in a wider radius. Whereas WiFi may be 300 feet; Wi-Max is in the entire mobile phone cell.
Typical reason for no DSL is a wire that is too long. However some better radio transceivers (DSL is radio wave communication) have made a minor increase in DSL's range. Have you checked the availability of that new option?
