Control my itouch with laptop

ok so what i want to do is get on my laptop and open up a program that shows an itouch on my desktop. i want ot be able to use my itouch on my laptop (dell inspiron 1525

Just to be sure I understand you correctly - you basically want a virtual iTouch on your Microsoft computer without really having (or using) a real iTouch.
You might look into the SDK for developing iTouch apps on a computer - at least I think the SDK does that. Perhaps someone else can add more details.

How to charge my Itouch with laptop

hi peoples,
just bought the iTouch today, naughty piece of kit. but i know when you get it....it needs a good 12 or so hours charge....am i right....?
if so i have a laptop and cant really leave that on with it charging as i dont have a mains charger. what happens if i dont charge it properly, will i get poor battery life staright away. or can i get away with charging it for say 4 hours now, then wake up 2moz and charge for another period of time?
cheers!
Dubsy

but was wondering because its new and normally new things like this (maybe same as a new mobile phone/cell phone) doesnt the first charge need a long deep 12 hour cycle?
Items with lithium batteries don't require a full, inital charge.
That's a leftover from nicad batteris which have a memory effect. If you let them run down say 20% then fully charge them, they get "stuck" Lithium batteries do not do this.
It's agood idea to use all the battery and fully charge maybe once a month, but that's to keep the battery meter somewhat calibrated, not to prevent it from getting memory.
And frequent deep cycles of lithium batteries will shorten their useful life.

Disk still wakes up with laptop-mode-tools

Hi all,
I have a Thinkpad x61 and I'm trying to manage power use with laptop-mode-tools, but I'm having trouble with the harddrive waking up too much. I have it configured so that lm-tools activates when the power is disconnected, and sure enough, a few seconds later the harddrive spins down. But 1-2 seconds later it spins back up! iotop indicates that dhcpcd is writing to the drive, and thus waking it up.
I thought lm-tools was set so that I could "potentially lose up to 10 minutes of work." Shouldn't that mean that up to 10 minutes of writes get buffered in ram instead of waking up the harddrive? If I disable the network, dhcpcd stops waking things up, but if I save a buffer from emacs, the harddrive instantly wakes up, so it looks like there's no buffering going on...
Here are some relevant settings while in laptop-mode:
$ dmesg|tail
[15425.800826] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: data=ordered,commit=600
[15425.982220] EXT4-fs (sda2): re-mounted. Opts: data=ordered,commit=600
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
60000
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
60000
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_bytes
0
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_bytes
0
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio
1
It looks like dirty_writeback is getting set to 10 minutes and the journal commit rate is also set to 10 minutes. Should dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes be nonzero?
Here are some relevant lines from /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf:
LM_BATT_MAX_LOST_WORK_SECONDS=600
CONTROL_READAHEAD=1
LM_READAHEAD=3072
CONTROL_NOATIME=0
USE_RELATIME=1
CONTROL_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT=1
LM_BATT_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=10
BATT_HD_POWERMGMT=1
CONTROL_HD_WRITECACHE=1
NOLM_AC_HD_WRITECACHE=1
NOLM_BATT_HD_WRITECACHE=0
LM_HD_WRITECACHE=0
Any ideas what I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Vim calls fsync(2) when writing files and swap files per default. One can control this behavior with the fsync and swapsync options.
I don't know if Emacs has similar options.

Synching iTouch with new PC

Does anyone know of an easy way to sync an iTouch with a new computer? My default laptop has crashed and I'm unable to sync new music onto my new pc.
In the past with my older iPod, I was able to use a third party application to extract my music from the pod and restore it to my new machine. This app does not support the new iTouch.
Please help!

I did check the sites that were provided, but does anyone know of a Free software that allows you to do this. Maybe something that is supported by Apple?
If they (Apple) made one you can be sure they would have tried to sell it to you already.
You want it for free? How much is your music worth to you?

Itouch with airport express?

Can you use the itouch with airport express. So you can play music from the itouch on your stereo?
That would be great!

Thanks for that!
Do I navigate to the Signal website via the Safari browser on my iTouch, and then install Signal onto the iTouch? Or do I install Signal onto my desktop Mac, open the app, and then navigate to the URL provided by Signal using Safari on the iTouch?

*There is a cunning workaround!*
*Read this article:*
*http://lifehacker.com/software/hack-attack/remote-control-your-computer-with-you r-iphone-300762.php*
*Basically you run a web server application on your Mac (remember to open the ports in 'Sharing') it allows you to log in via Safari (on the iPhone or Touch or any browser) and remotely control iTunes, which of course can be connected to Airport Express.*
*I tried Signal last night and it's pretty impressive, I haven't tried the opensource application mentioned but will do later.*
*So you'll be remotely controlling iTunes, which will probably contain more music than your iPod.*

How to Connect Nokia 2330 Classic with laptop or p...

Hi All
I just bought my new nokia 2330 last week, when i try to connect my 2330 classic with my laptop the phone is not detacting.Pls help me in this regard. We connet 2330 with laptop or pc with cable or not???
- Shree

Hi all.
First and all, be aware that there are dozens of Nokia phones, and all have different specifications. If someone buys a phone to take pictures, then the 2330C is a bad choice. The port that the device has, is not a USB port. It is a Nokia proprietary port for service only.
@shreeg and others with similar issues (altough this is late): check for Bluetooth compatibility first at http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/pc-suites/compatibility-and-download
@mojojo and others with similar issues (altough this is late): troubleshoot your laptop and mobile phone Bluetooth. Check if your BT drivers are compatible with Nokia suites. Test them with other BT devices (i.e. BT headset, other phone). Also test the pairing at a different location. BT is a radio wave based connection which can suffer from external interference caused by other radio waves emitting devices, or by electromagnetic or electrostatic fields nearby (these are caused by almost anything that runs on electric power)
@everyone: my advise is for you to check the following web page for info on device specs http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/matrix_all_1.html to know which type of local connections are available on the devices. It's on the "Local connectivity" section.

Can I use ARD to control my mac with Back to my Mac service?

Can I use ARD to control my mac with Back to my Mac service?
The with Back to my Mac service on you see your mac in the Shared column, hit Share Screen & your good - on ARD I don't see my remote Mac listed anywhere in that program.
Thanks

ARD, to the best of my knowledge, does not work via Back To My Mac. Certainly it's not an direct or obvious feature, though I can't say that there might not be a workaround I've not heard of.

I was trying to sync my itouch with my new mac, and some songs won't download because they are not authorized for this computer. But even after my computer was authorized they still won't sync. How do I fix this?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

I'm buying a 4s tomorrow, can i use my old 3gs as an itouch with wifi for my kid?

I'm buying a 4s tomorrow, but i was wondering if i can use my old 3gs as an itouch with wifi for my son to use?

Yes of course, that is possible.
The iPhone works just like an iPod Touch if you don't insert a SIM card. It will just display "No SIM" instead of the signal bars.
The "Phone and Message Apps" will still be visible, but basically the phone won't call or text anyway, because it lacks the SIM card.
Best Regards

I have a Text control string box with some initial text. I would like to highlight old text with click of mouse and type in new data from keyboard

I have a text control string box with some initial text (says: Please enter Name). I would like the operator to click on the text control box and have it automatically highlight so that when new data is typed in the old erases (all at once) and the new data is now in the text box.
I tried using the "Text.Selection" property node and when I run it and put the mouse inside the text box the initial text is highlighted and if I press "delete" on the keyboard or if I start to type in new data the initial data does delete but once I start to type new characters they erase each other. For example if I want to type in “Willi
am” I type the “W” and then the “I” but the “I” erases the “W” and now I am only left with an “I” in the text box and so on. I appreciate any help

It seems you are continuously setting the property node over and over again. This should only happen once if you mouse over it.
Create a property node for your text control with the following three items:
(1) KeyFocus (wire a "true" constant to it)
(2) Text.SelStart (Wire a "zero" constant to it)
(3) Text.SelEnd (Wire a constant containing the string length of the text).
Put this property node inside an event structure, triggered by "Mouse enter" on the string control.
(see if the attached example works for you)

I can not control my cursor with the trackpad. It moves randomly. It began after an Angry Birds update. Anyone else have this problem?

I have a late 2011 OS X Lion 10.7.4 that is only 6 months old. For the first 4 months I had no problems, but then about 6 weeks ago I downloaded an Angry Birds update from the Apple App Store, and my problems began. When playing Angry Birds the the new Angry Birds update for the first time the cursor began to jump around, moving on it's own as if someone else was controlling it. After a few moments I became obvious I could not control the cursor with the trackpad. When I placed the tip of my finger gently in the center of the trackpad to try to hold the cursor still it becan switching from the game (desktop) to launchpad and mission control. I then put the computer down so I was not even touching it, walked several feet away and the cursor still moved on it's own.
I've done a lot of research over the last few weeks on related articles and realized this is a common problem with numerous different causes: PRAM settings,
screen sharing, remote settings, having fingers accidently touch edges of trackpad, writst resting too close to trackpad, swollen battery, etc. and I don't think it's due to any of those issues.
The problem came out of nowhere. My computer stays at home, and is not used by anyone else. At first it was just Angry Birds, but now it can happen at any time. Sometimes hours or days go by when this does not happen, sometimes it happens so much I can't use the computer at all. It can get so bad that I won't be able to click out of whatever I'm doing on my desktop, and I'll have to shut it down by holding the power button.
Has anyone else had this issue after updating Angry Birds?

try a new/fresh apple brand cable and make sure it is the only usb cable in use. this worked for me, i noticed i had no problem with a lighting cable. i did a restore from scratch and from backup and it did not help me...and if you cant sync than you wont be able to get anything but apps back after the restore

Free Itouch with purchase of Macbook promo

Hi, sorry I didn't know where else to post this...
I know there is an ongoing promo where you can get a free itouch with the purchase of a mac computer...thing is, i didnt know about it until now. I actually got my computer in april, just barely a month before they started this promo..is there a way i could still avail of this promo?

No, but if it's any consolation, it's really not that great of a promo. You have to actually buy both the computer and the iPod, then fill out a rebate form, which will refund the cost of the iPod about 3 months later.
So, the whole point of these programs is that you're basically giving Apple a short term loan. They put that money, from you and all the other people who bought one, into various short term investments to try and make some extra money off it, so hopefully by the time they return your money in three months, they will have made several times that much. They also count on people who will forget to fill out the rebate form or fill it out incorrectly. I don't know about Apple, but a lot of times companies who issue rebates use special processing companies. They have X amount of money with which to pay out rebates, and once that money is gone the company files for bankruptcy, is liquidated, and everyone who hasn't had their rebate issues is just stuck holding the bag. Never go in for rebates on big ticket items like TVs. A lot of rebate programs are essentially your basic pyramid scam. The way you should look at rebates, is that it's a nice bonus. You would be willing to pay full price for the item in question, but if you get a rebate that makes it slightly less, even better. However, even if you never get the rebate, you are still fine paying full price. Make a habit of looking at the original price on ads, not the after rebate price.
So don't feel too badly about it. When you start to read the fine print on these things, you find out it's not quite as good a deal as it seems in the marketing blurb.
