Any way to get AM radio? More listen to AM (and XM) than FM

Most people I know listen to AM and XM satellite radio not FM.
Can we get AM radio?
Thanks.

Some AM radio stations are streaming over the internet. In which case, iTunes can usually play the stream.
If you are looking to listen over the radio through your computer, you could find an old AM radio with a headphone output jack and port it into the mic input. Be careful to balance the resistance and not overdrive your mic input. Of course you have little control of the radio through your computer.
Griffin makes a RadioShark2 device ($40-50) that captures AM & FM radio and ports it through a USB port. User reviews vary on how sensitive it is in capturing radio stations. The first version (white fin) may not be as sensitive as Radioshark2 (black fin). An external antenna may help with capturing signals. The RadioShark2 provides software control over what radio stations you want to listen to.
Griffin had plans to improve the RadioShark2 to include HD radio for the US market but it has yet to be released.

I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod. At some stage I lost the music files from my library. Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again? I stupidly synced the wrong one.

HT4528 Is there any way to get rid of the recent iphone upgrade and revert back to default settings? Since upgrading I have experienced nothing but problems with Siri.

Since selecting the prompt to upgrade my iphone4s, I have experienced significant problems. The "old" Siri disappeared and the new one is slow, ineffective and unavailable much too frequently. The faded colors on my iphone screen are also troublesome. I wish that I could revert back to the default settings
on my iphone4s. Has anyone else experienced the above problems?

Apple does not support downgrading to a previous iOS.
You might first try a reboot:
press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.
If it doesn't help, try
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settiings.

I opened a file to print and by accident highlighted and deleted the content. Then in a panic I closed the file and now when I open it is blank. Is there any way to get it back. I have looked and can not see anyway. I dont have anything in my backup?

I'm not sure about older versions, but in Pages 3.x (OS X 10.9.x) select File > Revert To > Browse All Versions. Hopefully there will be an earlier version that you can "revert to".

Is there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows? You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes.

s there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows?
You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

I believe that feature was added in order to reduce wasted costs to the Podcaster.
Podcasts incur costs - that have to be paid for, by someone. That cost will be the cost of hosting the Podcast on a server somewhere and more crucially (with regard to your point), the cost of the Podcast being downloaded to your computer. Every download costs the Podcaster money (typically, charged by bytes downloaded).
If that Podcaster pays for the whole thing personally, obviously they want to keep down any unnecessary cost to themselves. If the Podcaster is earning money for his or her Podcast (typically from advertising within the programme) then obviously, the advertiser only wants to pay for advertisements heard by listeners. So a download, not heard by the downloader, is waste of the Podcaster's money or no payment from the advertiser.
My own experience is that I only have to resume downloading once per programme. I'm usually several episodes behind on two different Podcasts that I follow, but I do not recall having to repeat the resume Podcast after that first time.

Any way to get more than 1000 characters in notes?

i was just wondering if there was any way to get more than 1000 characters in the notes section of the ipod. i have outlines for school and they are a lot longer than 1000 characters... i didnt know if there is a setting on itunes or the ipod or a hack or mod to make it more than 1000 character limit. thanks for the help

No.
You can use the iPod in Disk mode and copy the outlines in their native format (Word?) and put them on your own computer.

I have a Macbook Pro june 2011... I have 8GB ram but I only have 256mb VRAM... I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM? Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?

I have a Macbook Pro june 2011... I have 8GB ram but I only have 256mb VRAM...
I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM?
Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?
I've learned by reading other topics that I can't upgrade my graphics card on my Macbook Pro because it's soldered into the motherboard or somthing like that, but please tell me if there is any way to get more video ram by chaning some setting or upgrading something else. I'd also like to know why I only have 256MB of VRAM when I have 8GB of RAM, since I have 8GB of RAM I thought I was supposed to have 560mb of VRAM...
So the two questions are...
Is there any way to upgrade my VRAM, so that I can play games on steam?
Why do I only have 256MB VRAM when I have 8GB total RAM?
Other Info:
I have a quad core i7 Processor.
My graphcics card is the AMD Radeon HD 6490M.
I am also trying to play games on my BOOTCAMPed side of my mac, or my Windows 7 Professional side.
THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU CAN REPLY,
Dylan

The only two items that a user can change on a MBP are the RAM and HDD (Retinas not included). You have what the unit came with and the only way you will be able to change that is to purchase a MBP with superior graphics
If you are very much into gaming, the I suggest A PC. They are far superior for that type of application to a MBP.
Ciao.

Itunes deleted my 30 gigs of music and I didn't have it saved in itunes or on computer, is there any way of getting music back?

Itunes deleted 30 gigs of music from my ipod. And I don't or didn't have it saved in Itunes or on my computer....is there any way of getting my music back? Alot of the music was not purchased from Itunes....mostly from cds I dont have anymore! PLEASE HELP!

If the lost music is no longer on your iPod, on your PC, or in another backup somewhere, you are out of luck. You can download most iTunes purchases again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for more information and assistance.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to redownload or rerip them from their original source.

Any way to get prior (non-iOS 6) version of iMovie?

Just saw a demo of iMovie and really liked it. I headed to the iTunes app store and was seriously disappointed to find that I could only use iMovie if I updated to iOS 6. That isn't going to happen. I use Google Maps every day and will switch to an Android based system before I will upgrade to iOS 6.
So, is there any way to get the prior verion of iMovie that works on iOS 5.1.1 or is Apple just trying to force people to downgrade to iOS 6? My guess is the latter.
Thanks
David

@hpr : I was running the dev version because it provided a LOT more stability with Chrome/Flash (while I waited to receive my "free upgrade to mountain lion" email from apple), and it also addressed the Retina font-rendering issues. Latest official Chrome release was super crashtastic for me -- multiple kernel panics daily. Apparently this is/was An Issue for the new rMBP + Chrome + Flash. Honestly, though, this thing reboots so freaking fast it wasn't even *that* much of an issue.
Finally jumping to Mountain Lion right now...hopefully that'll stabilize things. If not, back to the dev version I go. Chrome has spoiled me - I just can't deal with Safari anymore.
@Justan : Yeaaaaah, I figured that out after I installed it. Ah, well.

Is there any way to get photos off of my iPhone 4 that won't turn on?

A couple of weeks ago my iPhone 4, running on iOS 7, decided to stop working. It just shut off all of a sudden, and wouldn't turn back even if it was plugged into a computer. It would just say that it was an iPhone in recovery mode, and that it needed to be restored. I would be okay with doing this, however I recently went on a big trip and took hundreds of photos on this trip with my phone, and I mistakenly did not back up my iPhone since this trip. I was wondering if there was any way to get these pictures off of my phone myself, and if not if there is any way that the people at the apple store could help me?
Thank you!

When closing multiple tabs, is there any way to get back the option of saving those tabs OR NOT for your next session, within the warning dialogue box itself?

For brief period of time, not in FF4, there was the option whereby when I closed multiple tabs, a firefox dialogue box opened warning me that I'm about to close multiple tabs, '''AND ALSO''' asking me if wanted to save those tabs for my next session, or trash them.
The primary issue IS NOT about saving tabs. The primary question here is about getting THE OPTION back to the CLOSING MULTIPLE TABS WARNING DIALOGUE.
The use case here should be obvious. However, since it is clearly not obvious that different people work in a variety of ways, and neither of those methods of working is "wrong" or "right" I will elaborate: Some people, for whatever reason, it doesn't matter why, want to save all their tabs on some occasions, and on other occasions don't.
This preference varies throughout the day. Therefore it is inefficient to constantly go to preferences and change whether or not I want firefox to open all my tabs from my last session. It is more LOGICAL to place an option in the multiple tab warning dialogue as well, for people whose preference constantly changes.
This option was available for a time in most of the Firefox 3 versions. Is there any way to get back this option in Firefox 4?

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no need for asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle the value with a double left-click.
* browser.showQuitWarning, see http://blog.zpao.com/post/3174360617/about-that-quit-dialog
* browser.tabs.warnOnClose, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
* browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
* browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Any way to get iPhoto'09 to recognise existing Facebook albums?

Is there any way to get iPhoto '09 to recognise existing Facebook albums?
It would be nice to have all the previous albums I've uploaded to be listed in iPhoto and all the 100's of people I've already tagged would serve as a nice basis for the iPhoto face detection to learn who my friends are!

This is an interesting workaround, but misses the spirit of the original post. I don't know a way to get iPhoto '09 to recognize existing FB albums, but I agree that this is a serious problem with iPhoto '09.
The iPhoto '09 Facebook and Flickr uploaders have one "cool" feature - they automatically sync iPhotos events with FB "albums" or Flickr "sets", so if you make changes to the photos in iPhoto, then those changes are reflected in the photos on FB and Flickr automagically (this has been working for me in FB but not in Flickr). The more I use this the more I think it's more trouble than it is useful and I wish I could turn it off and just use the old exporters without syncing.
There are problems with the exporters:
(1) the constant syncing with FB/Flickr can get annoying if you're making several changes, if you have a slow internet connection or slow computer.
(2) If you don't actually want the changes to be reflected in the FB/Flickr album (i.e. i delete photos out of iPhoto to make room on my disk for more photos and now the photos are deleted out of facebook) can get not as user friendly as the original Facebook and Flickr exporter was easier and more user-friendly.
(3) syncing is cool for a computer programmer to do, but what if users don't want it all the time? What if I don't want my Facebook albums to be exactly the same as my iPhoto albums, and I don't want to split out all the photos that I don't want on Facebook into separate events in iPhoto? This lack of support for the truly useful & user friendly (if a bit boring) features is a really unfortunate oversight.
(3a) in the old version: i can quickly and easily choose exactly which photos from which events I want to upload to FB.
(3b) as the original questioner mentioned: I can choose whether to upload to into a *new or existing album*. Hands down, this was *the single best feature* of the previous uploaders.
(in Flickr this is of paramount importance since the free Flickr account only allows 3 "sets" - so, since this fancy iPhoto syncing links your events to sets in Flickr, you'd have to create 3 massive Flickr-only events in iPhoto in order to stay within their restrictions. I like to keep my iPhotos events separate, but I'm perfectly happy uploading photos from different events into one of my three Flickr sets. i'm pretty sure i can still do this with FFXporter or similar.)
(3b) in the old version: all the photos i upload are put into a "pending" album on FB so that I can tag people, delete some photos (without deleting them off my own iPhoto), etc. before sharing them with all my friends. I'd like to have at least the option to choose whether they go into a pending album first or not.
(3c) it's further annoying that you cannot browse your iPhoto library directly (from most websites) when searching for photos to upload, you have to export the files first, then browse to where the photos were exported.

Is there any way to get an older app version of apple tv remote?

It's been several months since the apple tv remote app was updated to 3.0+.
Once I updated, I have not been able to control my apple tv (2nd gen).
I have 2 ipod touch (2nd gen as well) and neither can use the updated app to control our apple tv any more.
We've had to resort to using the aluminum remote (which we constantly are losing)
Long story short. Is there any way to get an older version of the app (say 2.4)? I've looked everywhere but everyone links back to itunes (and that only has the latest version). We're also stuck on iOS 4.2 because of hardware. There are a couple of sites out there but it seems that they are not legit as they ask for credit card info.
Any help is appreciated.

You can only do so if you downloaded a previous version at some point in the past, and it's still in the iTunes library on your computer. If that version is updated too, maybe the old version is in Trash/Recycling Bin.

Update interupted... Any way to get photos off?

Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting here so if it's the wrong area, I appologize. I did the latest update this morning for my IPhone (I have an IPhone 3G) from the ITunes store.. I'm not sure of the exact number of the update.
I was doing the update before work and I ran out of time, so I brought my laptop with me while it was finishing the update.
As it was toward the end of the update (It had already backed up everything and I guess was putting the new software on), the IPhone came loose from the cord and now all it shows is the ITunes logo and to plug it in. When I do that, it says I have to do a restore to get into ITunes.
Is there ANY way to get the photos off before I restore to factory settings? I don't care about the contacts or anything but my photos. All my photos of my 1 year old are on there and the last time I backed it up was in September. I know I should have more often and I will do it every month from now on... But any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't care if I even have to go somewhere and pay someone to do it..

Hi Thank you for getting back to me. This will be a bit lengthy so I appologize to begin with.
I did not restore the phone before I got back home because I didn't want to take any chances of anything happening with it.
So I got home and I did the restore and back up at home last night (Clicking on Restore since the IPhone in the device menu didn't have the option to restore from back up).
After I restored it, it gave me the option to choose a back up to restore to, which I chose the one from yesterday morning.
It loaded and said on ITunes that the sync or back up was complete and it was safe to remove the IPhone. There was still a bar filling on the Iphone, supposedly loading, still going on the IPhone so I left it connected.
The bar finally filled, but stayed that way for around 15-20 min without going to the main screen, so I disconnected it. Then it wasn't going away so I shut it off.
I turned it back on and it started that load bar again with the apple logo above it. It took a long time and I had to go to bed so I let it go. I woke up this morning and it had gone dark so it seemed like it loaded fine. I clicked the circle button and my wall paper came up and everything, I was very happy! I even went to photos and it showed all of them there, very happy!
The only downfall I saw was all my apps were gone.. Not to worried about that, although if there is a way to get them back, I'd appreciate knowing that also..
But then I went to the camera and then it said rebuilding library (just so you know I have ALOT of photos on here, over 4500.. No music, just a ton of photos, which I am going to take off tonight hopefully.) So it took forever.. Then it turned off before it finished. I turned it back on and I went to photo's (instead of camera) and it said updating library and the load line is crawling.
So ever since I first looked at the pictures this morning, I haven't been able to view them again. I tried hooking it up to my laptop during break this morning to start transfering the photos, but it doesn't give me the option to import pictures like it used to (outside of ITunes, as if it were an external hard drive.).
So that's where I am at... Sorry for the lengthy response, but I figured it would help if you knew everything. At this point I just want to get the pictures off safely and then I don't care if I wipe them off after that.

Any way of getting Real Media files to play in Front Row?

I was just wondering if there is any way to get Real Media files to play in Front Row? I realise this is probably not possible, but I thought I'd ask people who know more about this than me!!
I do have Real Player installed if that helps......

Probably not right now. Since Front Row uses iPhoto to play slideshows, the DVD Player to play DVDs, iTunes to play MP3s and the QuickTime Player to play videos, there's no way now to change the default video player application. All of those connections are hard-wired into the software. Apple has not released any kind of SDK (software development kit) for third parties to add on to Front Row, so it would have to be an unauthorized hack to get another video player to run. I might suggest you send Apple some Mac OS X feedback and let them know you'd like to see third party add-ons to Front Row.
