Clueless Mom needs HELP!

Hi, any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.:)
My daughter will be 10 next month and my son is 8 1/2. Both of them want ipods for Christmas. I have searched on this site for information regarding the purchase of them and now am more clueless then before.
In your opinion which Ipod whould be the most appropriate for these ages?
What other items would I need to purchase in addition to what is included with the Ipod? cases, cables, itunes gift cards, etc.
I am leaning towards the ipod nano.
I'm thinking that they both would mainly downloads their already owned CD's to the Ipod....and maybe every now and then download a few new songs from Itunes store. I really don't want to spend a lot of money on these once I purchase them.
They also have mentioned MP3 players but there are so many different types of those that I feel more comfortable purchasing a name brand that I know like Apple.
Basically what information I would like is what I need to put under the tree for them to open up on Christmas morning and have everything they need to use the ipod and to use for many years to come.
All this new technology leaves this Mom baffled!!!!
Thank you!!!!
Windows XP

Thanks KoDor!
No, you don't know my kids. My daughter is very musical...has been in numerous musicals, drama camps, etc. She has more CD's then I by far and has a great love of music. They both have cd players, game boys, and play on the computer. My daughter is a little irresponsible with her things and my son, who is 8, takes more care with his things.
I really don't think playing movies is an issue and something they need. So I guess the nano is the one I would go with.
So now at least I have narrowed it down to that.
What else do I need to purchase to have the Ipod Nano usable from the start? Yes, we have a computer that I am typing on right now;)
A protector will be a sure thing and a couple of Itunes gift cards.........anything else.
Thanks for your help!

Mom needs help with her new Shuffle

My son already has an Itunes acct for his Ipod. He set me up for my shuffle under my own user name. When I open up my account, all his songs under his account come up. When I purchased a song with my ITunes card, the song went to his account, even though I signed in the computer with my user name. Now he has my song on his ipod? What did we do wrong?

Totally clueless. NEED HELP.

Well my iMac Late 2008 wasbootcamped to Win7 (32) and Mac and the Mac partition got corrupted so I formatted it. Afterwards, I turned the Mac partition into unallocated space and tried to merge it with the Win7 one. While it was moving the files in the Win7 partition, the process had an error. Now I can't boot into Windows and Mac is gone. What steps should I do to start again from scratch? (Clean Mac)

Thank you for your help. One more if I may.
If I open my MacBook Pro 10.6 SL in the normal manner then go to About This Mac > More Info > Software, the System Software Overview among other things shows. 64-bit Kernel and Extensions: No.
If I Restart my computer holding down the 6 and 4 keys the answer then becomes Yes.
My question is do I really have to concern myself about this or, can I just start my computer in the normal manner and forget the No or Yes?

Both of you need to have iMessage activated, and both have to have active Internet connection for iMessage. Are you both using the same Apple ID? Are you using the phone number or Apple ID for messages?

I need help with a backup file that was deleted and now undeleted from my hard drive

Last month (May 6, 2011), I was updating my iPod Touch 4G with the new software that came out. I always make a backup of my iPod's data before I update it. While my iPod was updating I left my iPod and computer alone and was doing things around the house with my mom. And when I was done I went in my room to see if it was done and my computer decides that it was going to freeze and crash on me (with my iPod plugged in and stuck on the updating or verifying software mode.) I managed to get my iPod back to working condition again but losing everything on my iPod. I formatted my computer hard drive but I managed to get back the backup I lost. I need help on getting the backup into iTunes so I can get my data back. I am not Jailbroken and I plan not to Jailbreak. I however saved the backup file in a folder other than the Mobilesync folder. I am also running on Windows XP. Someone please help me and thank you in advance!

I was able to backup my iPod and I tried to restore my iPod again and it goes through the process and everything but it restores the temporary data that I had on there. It didn't restore application data or the current photos and videos that I had saved in Camera Roll before this all had happened. It is almost like it goes back to factory settings but I have some photos that were saved on the other backup that I was temporarily running on. The backup that I am looking to restore is the only backup file in the Mobilesync folder as of right now the others are saved somewhere safe for right now. Why doesn't it restore my application data or my Camera Roll pictures and videos that I saved before my computer crashed last month? Can this problem be fixed?

Thanks.You'll sit on your bum and ruin your back again with most IT jobs. With your government shrinking, OCA qualification won't have much worth unless you personally know someone in the private sector that needs help. An operator job with your petrol company (assuming it's not just a mom 'n pop station) would probably require heavy lifting.
IT is a good, solid, growing career path, but most of the work is still programming, and most ways up to better jobs go through that experience. You might be an exception if you have a way to join other skills with your IT education, such as business analysis or sales or web prettyfying. Perhaps the determinants are your personality and goals.
I know, it's tough, but if you are honest with yourself and check out some of the "what color is my parachute" kinds of career advice books, you can find a happy medium. There actually are some benefits in starting a career during economically troubled times, but you only see that in retrospect. You have to decide on goals, pursue them vigorously, and reevaluate when it doesn't work for you.

I need help picking a wired router

im tired of bringing my computers modem upstairs everytime i wanna go on xbox live because then when my sis or mom needs to use the internet i have to bring it back downstairs so i wanna have a really good wired router i can keep upstairs in my room so i need help picking one

The reason gaming and wireless don't work is because wireless does not transfer large packets of information which is what gaming uses. The best thing to do if you want wireless is to get a gaming router they will send larger packets of information and they also have dual ban gaming routers which will allow you to set up to where you can connect on one signal and your mom or sister on another it will make it much better for all of you in the long run.

Need help with wrt54gs v.5!!

WRT54GS v.5
Ok so i had my router set up perfectly. I recently re-arranged my room so i had to disconnect the router. Now when i hook everything up, it doesnt work. I get the flashing "power" led. I tried looking though the troubleshooting section of the manual where it says to hold the reset button for 5 seconds.. nothing. so i try 10 seconds to reset the whole thing.. nothing. Still same problem.
The manual suggest maybe the firmware might have got corrupted. So this is where I am at. I can not seem to connect to the i.p address to get to the setup. What do I need to do to get this resolved?
My mom needs the connection in her room to take care of some things and Id rather not her take up my time usin my computer in my room haha. Please help!! THanks ~AustinMessage Edited by hypertek on 09-17-2006 10:22 PM

Reset the router for 30 seconds and power cycle.You can also try a different power socket.Other option would be to give a static ip to the computer h/wired to the router -- ip add : 192.168.1.10 and default gateway : 192.168.1.1 and if you are able to ping the default gateway try to upgrade the firmware.

[Athlon64] Noob needs help optimizing new system

Sorry to post yet another thread, but I've been lurking for the past few days and I only get bits and pieces of what I need. I'm pretty clueless about this stuff as it's my first home-built system
See my sig for system info...
I'm needing help with bios settings. The pertinent stuff (I think - hopefully I got it all down):
CELL MENU
CPU Clock speed: 2200
DDR Memory Freq: 100.0 MHz
High performance mode: Manual
Cool n quiet: Disable
HT Freq: 800 MHz
Dynamic overclocking: Disable
Adjust CPU Ratio: Auto
AGP Freq: By Default
HT Voltage: Auto
Mem voltage: Auto
CPU voltage: Auto
AGP Voltage: Auto
Spread sectrum: Disable
DRAM
DRAM Clock Mode: Manual
Mem clock value: DDR200
CAS Latency: SPD
Burst Length: 8 Beat
Bank Interleaving: Auto
Active to CMD (Trcd): SPD
Active to precharge (Tras): SPD
Precharge to active (Tvp): SPD
DRAM IT Timing: Disable
ADVANCED CHIPSET FEATURES
AGP Mode: Auto (this is "greyed out")
AGP Fast write: Enabled
AGP Aperture size: 128
VLink 8X supported: Enabled
My questions mainly concern memory. I bought all this stuff at the Tiger Direct outlet store in Naperville, Illinois. I had intended to buy the K8T Neo-FSR (754 pin), but they were supposedly out of the 754 pin 3400+, and this board/CPU combo had a $100 rebate. Yeah, it's one of those deals with the odd 939 pin 3400+ that everyone has been talking about.
In any case, I already had the Corsair CMX512-3200C2PT picked out, as Corsair said it was compatible with the board. I wasn't aware of the MSI compitibility chart until I came here later that night. I STILL can't find that chart off of the MSI web site.
Anyway, I got it all hooked up and got the standard 4 red LEDs. Not knowing what to do, I took it back to Tiger Direct and the tech played around with it until he stuck an el-cheapo stick (Corsair VS512MB400) in there and it worked. But it only works in slot 2. So here I am.
I started to run memtest86, but it took too long to run and I aborted it for now. For what it's worth, it said the RAM CAS value is 2.5-2-2-5. I don't know what the hell that means, but I know it's important.
My questions:
1. I assume I need manually to set my memory clock value to DDR400?
2. Now that I can get the thing to post, is there any chance I could get the "good" Corsair memory to work by setting the correct latency/CAS values? Again, I don't know what I'm talking about, so forgive my ignorance. What I'm wondering is if I can set everything to what Corsair recommends while I have the cheap memory in there and then replace it with the good stuff?
3. With this board, am I better off with double-sided or single-sided sticks? As I said, I went into the store intending to buy the Neo 754-pin board, but they were out of the Athlon 3400+ in 754 and only had the 939 pin.
4. Anything else in my bios settings that stand out and need to be addressed? I want to make sure everything is optimized.
EDIT: I almost forgot: My CPU temp is runing around 42-49 degrees. Am I in the danger zone? I just bought a generic cooler for now and intend to get a Thermalright XP-120, but I can't find it locally, so it will have to wait.
AND FINALLY...
I don't know if this is related to anything above, but I have been having a hell of a time getting the 6600GT to run DirectX9+ games. The latest drivers for Windows 98SE was 66.94. Yes, XP will be installed soon, but for now... It was failing on dxdiag test for Direct3d 9 and also the third DirectDraw test. I was about to give up and take it back when I discovered that a new beta driver came out today (71.84). I installed it and it passed all of the dxdiag tests. I thought I was in hawg-heaven, but when I run Call of Duty (the only DX9 game I have besides HL2), it slows to an absolute clawl. The level starts out somewhat normal at first, but quickly slows down to the point that performance can only be measured in seconds per frame! All of the patches 1.5 and 1.51 for UO have been installed, but that shouldn't make a bit of difference.
If I don't get my CoD fix soon I'm gonna reinstall that Geforce3.
Thanks much and sorry again for such a long post.

Thanks everyone for the recent replies, but I started this thread almost a month ago (March 3rd), and much has changed since then.
New PSU (see sig).
Replaced the PNY Geforce6600GT with a eVGA 6800
Added another stick of the Corsair Value Select 512 RAM. I didn't even bother trying to get the "primo" CMX stick to work. I just returned it.
Went from Windows 98SE to XP Home.
The PSU did nothing for me at all, but I suppose it's better to have some headroom in the amperage.
The biggest performance booster was the additional 512MB of RAM. It wouldn't have done me any good in 98SE, but I was shocked at how much it helps XP. Quitting a game is almost instant now, where before it would take a good two minutes or so for XP to recover itself.
As for games running slow, the 6800 fixed it right up. CoD absolutely screams now, as does everything else I've thrown at it (HL2, Doom 3, Far Cry). I think the 6600GT was just bad or there is a serious driver problem with the 6600GT's. Went from 3DMark03 score of around 5000 (when it didn't crash) to above 9000 now. And this was all before adding the additional RAM.
Oh yeah, I bought a 74GB Raptor. No RAID for now though. So far I'm not real impressed with the performance. I'm running off of the VIA controller, since my board doesn't have the Promise controller. I don't see much improvement in loading times as compared to the 40GB 7200rpm Maxtor I have running on IDE1. The only time it beats the pants off the Maxtor is defragging. But there's only so much entertainment value in that. The Sandra "file system benchmark" gave me 57 MB/s, which seems pathetic, but I've read some posts here where others are getting an identical rate.
And I'm not too happy to discover, too late, that my overclocking capabilities are severely limited while using SATA.
I do have one more question for now:
When I installed the second 512MB stick, I originally had both sticks in slot 1 and 2. I ran Sandra's memory bandwidth benchmark and got a much lower score than with the single stick (around 3500 MB/s). WHen I had the sticks in 1 and 3, it jumped up to close to 6000 MB/s. Why is that? Just curious.

Need help to develop Pythagoras theorem-

Hi i need help to develop proofs 2,3,4

These are applets can anyone help me with it or give me an idea of how to go about developing it -
the site is the following

then double click on the screen to make it start

Pardon my ASCII art, but I've always liked the following, simple, geometric proof:
     a                   b
---------------------------------------+
|       |                                |
a|   I   |              II                |
|       |                                |
---------------------------------------+
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
b| IV   |              III               |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
|       |                                |
---------------------------------------+It almost goes without saying that I+II+III+IV == (a+b)^2, and II == IV == a*b,
I == a*a and III == b*b, showing that (a+b)^2 == a^2+a*b+a*b+b^2.
I hope the following sketch makes sense, stand back, ASCII art alert again:     a                   b
---------------------------------------+
|               .             VI         |

|                                        +
|                                        |

| VIII                   .              |
---------------------------------------+
                 a                    bThe total area equals (a+b)^2 again and equals the sum of the smaller areas:
(a+b)^2 == V+VI+VII+VIII+IX. Let area IX be c^2 for whatever c may be.
V+VII == VI+VIII == a*b, so a^2+b^2+2*ab= c^2+2*a*b; IOW a^2+b^2 == c^2
Given this fundamental result, the others can easily be derived from this one,
or did I answer a question you didn't ask?
kind regards,
Jos

Need help to open audios attached in a PDF file

Hello
I just need help. I have ordered a reviewer online that has audios and texts in a pdf file. I was told to download the latest adobe reader on my computer. I have done the same thing on my ipad mini. I am not so technical with regards to these things. Therefore I need help. I can access the audios on my computer but not on my ipad.
I want to listen to audios with scripts or texts on them so i can listen to them when i am on the go. I was also informed that these files should work in any device. How come the audios doesnt work on my ipad.
Please help me on what to do.
Thanks

Audio and video are not currently support on Adobe Reader. :-<
You need to buy a PDF reader that supports them. My suggestion is PDF Expert from Readdle ($US 9.99)
