A few simple questions, before I purchase an Ipod

These shouldn't be too hard to answer, considering all the other questions you guys get.
I just need to know a few things before I am willing to purchase a Nano.
1. Once I download iTunes, can I upload my own Cds? And thus move songs from my Cds to my ipod?
2. Is it possible delete songs off the ipod, once you have uploaded them?
3. I have about 300 songs on my current audio player. (Roxio; Audio Central) Will I be able to upload these to my ipod?
I think that's all for now, thanks for all your help.
Windows 2000 I don't yet own an iPod.

Thanks for the reply. I think it will be okay if I can't add those songs, maybe I'll burn the most important ones to a cd, then upload them.
Thanks again for all your help.

A few simple questions from a new Iphone user

Hi a few simple questions, just got an iphone 2g - 2nd hand so not really sure what to expect. Anyway I guess my first question is about mine sometimes being a little slow - when I look at contacts and sometimes when sending a txt it slows down/freezes a little - normal?
Secondly Edge - I havent used it much but when I have its been painfully slow, is this normal - is it always really slow - cause I had read despite not being 3g Edge was actually pretty fast - what exactly is data roaming by the way? I mean I have been switched off as basically I dont wanna use the internet till next month when they change my contract to one I get unlimited access on - is that right?
Im having a problems syncing videos to it - it just wont sync some but will others and Im not sure why - theyre same file type and they used to sync to my ipod touch but now they wont for some reason
Cheers

I have the origina iPhone.
Downloaded 2.0, synced phone with everything UNchecked. Installed 2.0. Synced with all the options checked to reload my data. The iPhone has been great. Noticed a little lag when I opened contacts. Installed the new upgrade, and everything is back, no lag.
Edge is Edge and nothing more. It is slow compared to a strong 3g signal. But is liveable most of the time. Heavy traffic can slow it down to barely usable.
My four wheel drive club has a web site with a large photo section. I was standing out in the middle of parking lot in San Jose, Ca and showing a friend some photos. It opens up a page of small picts to choose from. Select a print and it enlarges, He was amazed at how fast they appeard. Especially given the quantity of photos.

A few simple questions

Hi, the company I work for will soon be doing some work with OS X server and in an effort to familiarise myself with the software I have set it up at my home on an old blue and white G3 (sadly the best hardware I have to spare right now).
I would like to configure the server to share the internet, serve web pages and an FTP server and a few other basic tasks, but I keep running into trouble, and would appreciate some feedback on these simple questions. My setup is as follows:
Sympatico connection via ethernet DSL modem (server connects via PPPoE)
2nd NIC on server connected to a 5 port switch
Powermac G5 and Windows XP workstations (currently only testing with XP box)
I have been unable to get the server to share the internet connection, the DHCP server does not seem to be serving IPs (although if I map a static address it works) but either way I cannot browse.
My questions are:
Will this setup work with the server connecting via PPPoE or does it require a static IP from my ISP?
Do I have to configure DNS or can I just enter my ISP's DNS IPs instead?
Is there anyway to return the server configuration to default settings? I tried using Gateway Setup Assistant which didn't work, and I'm worried that it's dropped in some settings I'm not aware of.
I've done some reading on here and while I understand it's easier to let a $50 Dlink router handle NAT I'd like to understand this so I can better advise my client.
Many thanks in advance,
Toby

It is entirely possible to run what you describe, but it's hard to tell what state it's in now (and therefore what changes are needed to make it work).
In general, the steps you should follow are:
1) Get the public network side working so the server can talk to the outside world.
2) Get the private network working between the server and the clients.
3) Run gateway assistant, or manually configure the various parts using Server Admin.
The system shouldn't care whether you're using PPPoE, DHCP, static addresses, or even dialup for the public link, so that's not an issue, and neither should DNS.
Other things to check include the firewall on the server (turn it off during this setup to make sure it's not just a firewall configuration issue).
Also, make sure you're using different subnets on the public and private networks, e.g. don't try to have the server hand out public IP addresses to the clients - that won't work.
Check that your basic network connectivity (e.g. ping) works between the various systems on the network. if the clients can't ping the gateway system then they're not going to go anywhere.

Few simple questions from newbie

I'm new to Java, but i've worked a lot with action script... it didn't help a lot :) Here are my few beginner questions:
What does: public, static, abstract, void... and other things mean in front of the class name?
How can i call variables from another classes: if i have one class that does one thing and stores the result in a variable, how can i use that variable from a different class?
How can i call the input window to enter the value for variable? I've tried with importing "io.inputstream" library, and used the "extend" thing, but i still cant call the input window?

I came to Java from ActionScript too, and I must say having ActionScript as your first programming language does NOT make it easy to learn other languages. I was incredibly lost when starting with Java.
What does: public, static, abstract, void... and
other things mean in front of the class name?You'll find all that in the Java Tutorial
How can i call variables from another classes: if i
have one class that does one thing and stores the
result in a variable, how can i use that variable
from a different class?To use the variable from another class, you need to make a call to the class. Let's say you're in ClassB; you would make a call to a ClassA variable by doing something such as:
ClassA.myVar.myMethod();
How can i call the input window to enter the value
for variable? I've tried with importing
"io.inputstream" library, and used the "extend"
thing, but i still cant call the input window?I recommend reading the tutorial before you try anything like that.

Just a simple question, before deciding to switch

Uhhh, yeah, I've been considering an Apple for a while, and I've pretty much made up my mind, but I had a simple question. I've been with Windows ever since I began with computers, and as long as I can remember, there's been Paint. Does Mac OS X come with anything like Paint?

Prior to the new release of MacBooks and Intel iMacs, the Mac was accompanied by Appleworks which has a fine paint program among many other productivity suite applications. You would find it very comfortable to use if you were used to the Windows Paint program because they are much alike.
Unfortuantely Apple doesn't include it on the new MacBooks or on the iMacs today but that is not to say you can't get ahold of a copy and install it on your new MacBook. Installing programs on a Mac is *sooooo much easier* to do then on a Windows machine and *sooo much easier* to remove (you just drag them to the trash can).
When you get your new Mac you can buy a copy of Appleworks from Apple ( take a look: http://www.apple.com/appleworks/ ).
Hope this helps!

Questions before I buy an iPod Touch

I have a few questions to ask before I purchase a Touch. I have wireless internet in my home (not WiFi). Will the internet feature work with wireless internet that isn't Wifi. Also, when you are on the internet, can you type in a search query in a search bar? Do web pages appear as they do on a PC? Also, can you access web based email like yahoo? thanks
Message was edited by: JasperW

Which means you have WiFi and the Touch will work in your home.
Be aware also that on March 6th Apple is having a press conference announcing the methodology for adding officially sanctioned 3rd party software for the iPhone/Touch, and when the Software Development Kit will be available. It is possible (but nothing has been announced) that there could be a Flash plugin sometime after that.

Simple Question About Transferring Songs From Ipod

I recently bought a new iPod 80 gb, and gave my little sister my old 30 gb iPod. Both of them are fifth generation iPods and we use Windows XP as our operating systems. We use separate computers.
Now her iPod has the music from my iTunes. My question is whether or not one can take mp3s from an iPod and transfer them onto another computer, by a certain program maybe?

this is an option
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
or
you can download third party software that will allow you to take the information on your ipod and trasfer it back on to your computer.. you can find these programs at www.versiontracker.com
a few that are free for windows are iPod->Folder 1.2 or YamiPod - 1.0.1
if you use a mac I suggest senuti
all of these can be found on www.versiontracker.com
good luck

A few questions before I purchase...

I am thinking of buying the Blackberry Curve from Verizon Wireless but had some questions that hopefully the community could answer. Currently I am using the Moto Q on WM5.
1. Any problems switching from a WM5 device to Blackberry OS as far as Syncing all my data? I am using Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager for everything.
2. I know that most of the software I have acquired for my Q will not port over, but what about any data like spreadsheets, databases or word documents that I have saved on my media card?
3. Which brings me to my next question. Will I have to reformat the data card I'm using now or will I need to buy a new one? I'm currently using a Sandisk micro with mini adapter.
4. Does the Curve, unlike the Moto Q, backup everything just like the old Palm Pilots did? With the Q I had to purchase backup software to backup everything that did not get synced with the Vista Mobile Sync center.
Thanks in advance for your help and hopefully making this an easy decision to switch.

1. I wouldn't expect that you will encounter any issues syncing your contact information since you are using Outlook. When I first purchased my Curve I encounter a little difficulty in adjusting the settings to sync with Outlook but was fairly simple to manage past. Everything that was in my outlook backed up just fine to my blackberry.
2. You can view most documents on your curve although I haven't tried to view a .docx file (the 2007 version of word). PDF files appear slightly blurry on my device. One negative is that you won't have the ability to edit these documents unless you purchase a third party software to do so. If you can with out purchasing software I have yet to discover that solution.
3. Your micro SD card should be just fine. I had no problems using my that was in a windows mobile phone. All my pictures and music adapted just fine.
4. The necessary software to back up and sync everything was included with my curve and would see no reason why it wouldn't be included with your purchase. While different the back-up is similiar to the palms.
I hope I have answered your questions adequately. I can tell you that all in all I really enjoy my blackberry.

A few questions before I purchase TC

As of now, I dont have Leopard, so my Mac wont sync automatically with TC. For those with Leopard, if you delete a file on your mac, does it get deleted on the TC as well? Also, can I point itunes towards the TC for syncing so I dont have to store all my songs on my Macbook?
Thanks

It doesnt work quite like that. In fact it possible the file may not be on your TC at all.
If the file is present on your PC at the time of making a back up, it will be on the TC. If you make a file, then say delete it on your PC before Time Machine does a backup it will NOT be backed up.
No, if you delete a file on the PC it doesnt get removed from the TC, that would of course defeat the point of backing up files in the first place. To delete files on the TC you need to do it thru Time Machine, or manually delete them in Finder.
Yes, it is very simple to use the TC as an iTunes repository/server.

A few question before I purchase

I wounder if you could confim a few things for me.
I am about to by my son a 160GB appleTV because his old macbook 80gb drive is full of itunes downloads, movies and music?
Does the ATV work independently, eg play and store movies on its own drive and not require the macbook?
Can I back up the movies to time machine?
Can I use an external harddrive should this also get full?

Wilbur507 wrote:
So I need the MacBook on as well as the ATV, that's stupid two lots of electricity.
if you sync content to it, then you don't need the macbook on. think of the appletv as an ipod for your TV.
Wilbur507 wrote:
Surely I can download a movie to the ATV and watch it without having to start another computer with iTunes on?
yes but you should not treat your appletv as a storage device, the appletv should only ever have copies of your media on it, not the only copy (again think of how an ipod works).
Wilbur507 wrote:
Could I connect a external drive to the USB port?
no. as previously said, the usb port has no end user function.

Questions before I purchase Lightroom

Hello, I'm quite interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC which ran out now. Yet, I have a several questions that I can't really find good conclusive answers to, that I'd like to get answered before buying LR. Please don't write maybe like this or that (assumptions), since I don't want to start my whole workflow and then realize that I have to change everything around, so please answer, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using that method too. Please just write e.g. 1. Do ... or see (url). or 2. Doesn't work etc. Here we go:
Edit: I moved all questions to own threads. See links in front of the questions:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308135?tstart=0 In Lightroom, are all videos supported if it's supported in Quicktime (maybe not all functions) like e.g. Flash videos (.flv) already work for me in Quicktime, Photoshop, etc. Details: I read the supported formats, but as I see, some also depend on Quicktime, so I'm wondering if it ignores e.g. .flv arbitrarily, even if it could support it.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308136?tstart=0 Can I create a Snapshot and replace that with an image (or linking another Photo as the current photo)? Details: I made adjustments in iPhoto till now, now I want my masters (unedited) JPEGs, few RAWs, create a snapshot and set the edited photo as the one to be kept. If it's not possible, any recommendations (besides the usual backup the masters and import the edits).
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308137?tstart=0 This is the biggest question, where I mainly want a conclusive answer: How do I manage Lightroom photos when using 2 computers, keeping all edits made on either one of them, using the same photos for editing. I won't use DNG. Details: I mainly use my older MacBook Pro, but would like to be able to use my PC as it's way better (Specs: i5 2500K, 16GB RAM, SSD, USB3, nVidia GTX 560 TI etc.). I have 2 external HDs that I could use, one for Backup and one for the actual Photos/Edits. I'll probably need to use it as my internal HDs are quite full, and I can't just delete stuff or move it to an (Developer programs, Lossless music, etc.). Based on this, how do I back up the whole thing e.g. Photos folder (all photos and edits, and preferably presets too)?
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308138?tstart=0 Is Lightroom 5.2 fully compatible with PS CS6? E.g. some ACR 8.2 stuff only works with Lightroom AFAIK. Will that mean that I can't edit them in PS? Is there a list of the exact edits I shouldn't make, if I want to be able to edit in PS?
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308139?tstart=0 When selecting multiple images in LR 5.2 RC on my Mac, using the Filmstrip view, how do I delete all selected files using a shortcut (as opposed to the right-click context-menu > remove selected photos)? Details: Using backspace asks me if I want to delete it, I choose from disk, but it just deletes individual photos, so if I have 3 selected, I need to do this 3 times.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308140?tstart=0 Is it possible to see the photo details (CMD+I for e.g. Aperture, ISO etc.) in fullscreen view?
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308141?tstart=0 Is it possible to keep photos in Lightroom, but hide them (not reject, as that'd trash them, once I do the cleanup shortcut thing, I think CMD+SHIFT+Backspace)?

Hello and thanks for the answer. I do believe it's possible, but as I just needed those questions answered (besides lacking some know-how), it was way better to ask here. I have purchased it now, although, I could've actually used the trial and after 30 days purchase and enter my serial key.
Well, I'm done purchasing/downloading it, so gotta set it up soon.

Questions before I purchase a Time Capsule.

I have a few questions that maybe somebody on here can help me out on. I have an external drive that I am currently using with Time Machine but I want to create a wi-fi network so I would like to buy the Time Capsule 500GB model which should be enough for me but would I be able to plug my existing drive into the Time Capsule so that my wife can back up her macbook to my external drive but wirelessly through the TC? sorry if that sounds confusing.
Also is it possible for a macbook to share an itunes library on my imac with the TC? Would the songs be able to be played on the macbook in another room without be played on the imac which houses the files?

I want to buy the 8 Gig as it is what I can afford right now. If I load it up with say 6-7 gigs of music will I have room for movies. If I purchase movies or tv shows can I keep them stored on my Itunes and transfer them back to the touch when I want to just like I can do with music. Is the Touch really worth all the money. I know the Classic holds tons more but I love the internet WiFi on the touch as well as how just plain cool it is. Any opinions?
Hey Robert,
You can always keep the songs and video on the computer and not sync them to the ipod.
Is the touch worth all the money?
YES =) I love my touch and wouldn't want to be without it.
And I do have one small suggestion... Don't buy the 8GB, hold of and keep saving the other $100 you need to get the 16GB model. If you want to be able to carry a decent amount of video with you or if your song collection gets larger, you will be very happy if you hold off till you get the extra cash and buy the 16GB version.
Just think about it $100 = double the storage space.

Few simple questions

Hi, i'm on Windows 10 Technical Preview right now, and i'm working with Modern Skype from store, i'm trying to understand few things:
Is there a way to send files via drag n drop
Is there a way to display my contact list on lest, instead of gigantiy useless column with avatar?
Or there there a way to see more contacts on top row which appears when i press right mouse button?
Is there a way to edit or delete your messages?
Thx!

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
NB: Skype for modern Windows has not been optimized yet for Windows 10 Technical Preview version (neither has Skype for Windows desktop) so you might encounter some quirky behaviour or even crashes.
Here's a great article that helps you to get started with using Skype on modern Windows: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12110/finding-your-way-around-skype-skype-for-modern-windows
It also contains links to further articles explaining IM usage which should answer your last question.

None of these three is possible in Skype 3.1 for moden Windows, I'm afraid.
Also you might want to have a look at trying out Skype for Windows desktop as it offers support for drag and drop, a contact and a longer conversation list: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12162/how-do-i-get-the-desktop-version-of-skype-windows-8-or-abov...

Question before I purchase Apple TV

Hi All,
I plan to purchase an Apple TV later today but I have one quick question. I currently have a Macbook Pro and I have recently downloaded my favorite TV show to it from iTunes. Up until this point, I have been hooking up my laptop to the TV in order to watch the shows on a bigger screen. I read that the Apple TV can stream content from my Macbook Pro (which I have a Time Machine backup for) to the Apple TV, but if I download directly to the Apple TV I won't have a backup for that because I don't have a Time Capsule. The question is; If I get the Apple TV, will my library be split between my Macbook Pro and Apple TV or will I be able to duplicate the information on both devices? Thanks.

If you set the Apple TV to sync with your computer, anything purchased on it will be transferred to the computer and backed up from there.

5230 - a few simple questions

Hi,
I've been looking at buying the Nokia 5230 and I've got a few questions I wouldn't mind some help with. Mainly to do with the sat nav function.
1. Is SAT NAV built into the phone. In other words, can I turn my phone on sit in my car and use it as a traditional sat nav system without having to buy any additional accessories. (except a phone mount). I'm mainly referring to not having to buy a GPS receiver type thing.
2. If yes to above, are they any charges I would incur when using the SAT NAV function? (monthly fee, usage charges etc,etc)
3. A non SAT NAV question - can it sync with outlook for contacts and diary?
Thanks in advance

Yes the phone comes with a SatNav application, some time back Nokia announced free voice navigation with Ovi maps 3.03 and 5230 and is compatible to it, you can download it from Nokia website and install it. This version of Ovi maps doesnot come out of the box for some devices. Charges for Navigation depends upon your data plan if used with A-gps which uses Network provider's GPRS connection for quicker GPS fix, you can also get a GPS fix without A-gps by relying only on the inbuilt GPS receiver which may take time to get a fix but not very longer. You can use the device very well for SatNav without need to buy a seperate gps receiver. Yes it does synchronise with outlook, with Nokia PC suite you can sync your PIM with outlook.
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.
