Dv7t-3000 and intel mainstream 2nd gen 160gb ssd

I put this ssd in this laptop. It works quite nicely.However i didnt read all the fine print regarding requirements of trim and firmware updates. What Im reading is that the bios sata ports have to be configured to ahci mode, legacy or compatability mode or the firmware tool wont work, and if the sata ports arnt configured in ahci mode you wont be getting use of the trim function. You cant swith modes or even check the mode in this crippled bios .I know a lot of you guys have installed ssds in this laptop ( but unlike me you know what your doing ) So could someone please shed some light on these issues and bring me out of the darkness .

Hi,
Many owners(those who can afford it) of the dv7t series are putting OCZ agility and vertex drives in to replace their SATA hard disk.
I have no doubt that the speed of the SSD disk will wow you even if it isn't SATA2. Think about restart times of 58 seconds!
regards,
erico

I updated my itunes (latest verion out as of nov/20/2012) and restored my 2nd gen itouch, now my itouch does not work properly (keeps freezing). how do i fix this?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

BEFW11S4 and iPod Touch 2nd Gen

I have a BEFW11S4 version 2 router (i know, its ages old) and it works great with my wireless desktop in my house. However, it performs very slowly and weak with my new iPod touch. I've taken the iPod to other hotspots and it flies. But not in my house. Sometimes it takes forever for the IP address and DNS and router and all that stuff to appear on the iPod, and if it does, the internet is EXTREMELY slow and constantly drops. I have no security enabled on my home network either. I figure this is a problem with the configuration of my router. I know i cannot upgrade firmware any further because the latest version is from April 2004. Any ideas?

Well, I guess I am not alone. 1st gen Touch worked great with this linksys router. Yesterday, I started using the 2nd gen Touch and experienced same problems. Timeouts, severe lag etc. Since the 1st gen worked flawlessly, is this an Apple issue? I called Apple and they said they are receiving alot of phone calls in regard to 2nd Gen and no connectivity. Or.....do I go out and replace this router....
Any suggestions?

ITunes 8.1 and iPod Shuffle (2nd gen)

Since "upgrading" iTunes to 8.1, I find that my iPod shuffle is behaving erratically for the first time in its life. Now, this may simply be a coincidence--no way to know for certain that the 'pod isn't just suddenly, magically on its last legs--but it seems that the Shuffle now sometimes won't play a cut while I'm listening to it as a 'pod; and also won't play cuts when clicked in the iTunes window, while it's attached to the computer for updating. I've clicked on cuts up and down the list and nothing plays. Eject it, quit iTunes, plug the Shuffle back in, and maybe it will work. Reordering the cuts in the playlist also seems suddenly a little wonky. Long, spinning ball delays now and then when I drag cuts up the list to rearrange their order in the list. Pauses before the iPod synchronizes.
And, no, I do not sync it automatically, thank you.

I have just 'upgraded' to iTunes 8.1 from 7 and now my iPod Shuffle 2nd gen plays songs ONLY in a random order if I fill it using the 'Autofill' button (selecting random songs), REGARDLESS of the play mode switch position on the iPod itself. Have tried resetting it to factory settings but to no avail! If I fill it using the Autofill button but let it choose the songs in order (not random), it does play sequentially but some songs don't get played.
I used to be able to fill it randomly with Autofill and then sort the songs it had selected by clicking the Artist or Album etc column heading in the iPod window and this would be used as the order when playing back in sequential mode. This is now broken too! My shuffle has had very little use (perhaps 20 charges) and it is in fab condition.
What is going on, Apple?

Laptop and apple tv 2nd gen without wifi network

Hi experts, I need your help.
How can I share pictures and music without a wifi or wired network?
I have a laptop with wifi and apple tv 2 gen. I would like to connect apple tv and pc but I don't have a wifi or wired network.
I created a wifi network in "network and sharing center" in windows 7 (I see it on my cellphone), but I do not see it on the apple tv and I cannot connect.
Thanks a lot for your answers!

You need a local network setup to use home-sharing. You won't be able to access any of the other features without internet access.

Can you charge and play shuffle (2nd gen) at the same time?!

we purchased a shuffle to run our 'on hold' music at work, and its a pain in the arse to remember to charge it every night. im so used to my iPod video that lets me charge and play at the same time...
any suggestions?!

Hi Jen,
I have the USB Power Adapter plugged into a power
outlet and the shuffle plugged into the adapter. I'm
running a headphone to RCA cable to an audio
receiver's inputs. This allows me to listen to all my
songs on the Shuffle without needing to have a
computer near by. I've been using this set up since I
bought the Shuffle. I have to mention that the
Shuffle I own is 1st Gen...
Again, hope this helps.
With all due respect, Rick, Jen (the original poster) was asking about how to charge+play a SECOND GENERATION Shuffle...you might note that fact is even included in the Subject field...
But now that you've mentioned yours is a 1st Gen Shuffle... 1st Gen Shuffles ARE available from the online Apple Store as refurbished for $49. Perhaps she should think about getting one of those?

Aperture 3 and Apple TV 2nd Gen

I'm trying out Aperture for the 30 day free trial.
I can get my Aperture albums to appear on Apple TV, but the Events also only appear in the same list format as the albums. I am used to the iPhoto events appearing in a nice grid-like pattern on Apple TV.
Is there a way to get the Aperture Events (or "Projects", I suppose) on the Apple TV in the same grid-like pattern as the iPhoto events?
Thanks.

Finally figured it out.
Went to Aperture.
Changed away from current library and then back again.
That seemed to let iTunes pick up the trail leading to the library.

I want to rename and reformat a 2nd gen Nano

I have a second generation Nano that is formatted in Windows and has my wifes name on it.
How can I reformat it in OSX and rename it to me?
(My wife has the new one ;-) )
Thanks

Restore it in iTunes on your Mac. This should reformat the iPod's storage to Mac OS X Extended Journaled and allow you to rename the device.

2nd gen Shuffle not syncing blinks green and orange

My mom got a new computer. I installed Itunes and connected her 2nd gen Shuffle which previously had been administrated by her niece's computer. I deleted all music,restored to factory settings, bought new music but am unable to get music on her shuffle. Her shuffle appears in Itunes sidebar and in computer. Says it is syncing but no music is on Shuffle. Light blinks green and orange, green, orange. Troubleshoot says "current user not administrator". I followed steps in relevant topics but still no music on Shuffle. HELP

Shuffle 1st gen works only in usb port, 2nd gen shuffle isn't noticed

I am aware these problems have not been solved anywhere on the internet but im praying someone has the answer to it.....maybe even someone from apple (but i dont think they care)
Lets start with my 1st gen shuffle
2 years ago it was accidently washed with my bottoms. Let it dry, charged it in the pc and everything seemed fine until i tried to listen to the songs that were still on it. The battery indicator showed no light even though while it was in the usb port, it showerd a solid green light (fully charged). Weeks later the new shuffle came out so i packed this 1 away and bought the 2nd gen.
Now my 2nd gen isn't working, so i thought i'd try again with the 1st gen. The same problem occurs even now. It charges fully but it seems dead outside of the usb port. I'm guessing the battery is dead but i await confirmation from someone with more knowledge than me.
Ok now the 2nd gen. I've had it for nearly 2 years and after a itunes update, the laptop or any other computer doesn't recognise it is connected. It still has a slight charge, the battery indicator is red (low batt) but still won't show up on windows or itunes. No lights flash when it is plugged in either.
With both shuffles i've tried EVERYTHING!! I've searched so many forums and tried everything. I even rinsed my 1st gen and let it dry off in rice (which made it completly dry over 24hrs, i'd recommend it if you ever drop your phone/ipod in water). I've heard too many people say they have the same problems with their 1st, 2nd and even 3rd ipod shuffles
I thought apple made the best mp3 players, but if the shuffles are just going to die all of a sudden with no hope of reviving them......then why else would apple keep making them and not allow people to return them? Its not our fault it happens.....1st gen was my fault.......but the 2nd gen looks BRAND NEW! I loved these shuffles but if they don't start working soon then i am not going to recommend them to anyone or even buy myself another 1. I'd rather have a cheap mp3 player that i wouldn't mind throwing away
All help is truly welcomed and thank you in advance

Is there anything that can be done?
Sorry about my spelling people

Where can I download an older version of ibooks for my 2nd gen touch?

My Ipod touch crashed, then when I tried to restore from a back up it said the back up was corrupt!
I now have no way of reading any of my books.
When I move my books from Itunes to my ipod I get a message telling me that I must install Ibooks to read any of my books. But as I have a 2nd gen Ipod i cannot download the new ibooks
Is there anyway I can download an old version of Ibooks or use another app to read them? I have tried installing kindle and stanza but they require a newer IOS.
I have installed ereader but it can't locate any books in my library...
I'm more than a little annoyed! Can someone help?

Well, when I pay several hundred dollars for something, I expect to be able to use it for more than a couple years.
Your iPod stopped working, did it?
and no, my 2nd gen iPod does NOT do anything even close to what it did when I bought it.
I don't believe that for an instant. List one thing that your iPod was advertised or otherwise promised by Apple to do when you bought it that it doesn't do now. And I don't mean apps that you failed to download when they were issued in a version that would run on iOS 4.2.1 and that now require a newer version of iOS.
In any case, if you're that unhappy, go buy an Android device, then. But I suggest you price them out first. You may find that they're really not cheaper, particularly if you want to keep up with anything like current Android releases. I doubt anyone here really cares if you find some other product you think suits you better.

IPhone4 pictures on AppleTV (2nd gen) have wrong aspect ratio

Hello,
I'm using AirPlay with an iPhone 4 and an AppleTV (2nd gen), my iphone
pictures are displayed with a wrong aspect ratio (I mean really wrong
aspect ratio, rounded stuff is showed "oval".
Movies taken from my MacBook Pro are displayed correctly, any idea?
Thansk!
Alberto

The screenshots aspect ratio is fine on the iPhone (and the picture is good if I transfer it to my MacBook) , but is displayed incorrectly when airplayed to the AppleTV.
The AppleTV is attached to a 24'' screen, all the other stuff from AppleTV (menu, home page, films from internet and so on) are displayed correctly).
Thanks again for your help!

Music is not supported on this 2nd gen iPod

Why is it that half my daughter's music is not supported on this 2nd gen iPod shuffle? These songs worked fine for years and now are gone. They work on iPad, iPhone (2nd and 3rd gen), and iPod classic 2nd gen. I tried reformating to ACC version- no Help.

The Mac mini has, I believe, a special build of 10.8.2 later than the version you can install on any other system, so you will not be able to boot the 2012 mini from a boot drive from any earlier model of Mac. There probably won't be a "universal" version until OS X 10.8.3 is released, whenever that might occur. If you want to use the SSD as a boot drive, you'll have to install the 2012 mini's version of 10.8.2 on the SSD, either by booting to the 10.8 Recovery Partition and installing 10.8 or by cloning the 2012 mini's internal drive to the SSD.
Regards.

Please help; What makes the 2nd Gen iPod Touch better then the 1st Gen?

I am thinking about buying an 8gb iPod Touch, should i save some dough and buy the 1st gen iPod Touch or pay a bit more and buy the 2nd gen?
Also, what makes the 2nd gen iPod Touch better then the 1st gen, what has been improved, changed, etc...?
Thanks in advance.

I had the 1st gen touch since it first came out and just got the 2nd gen touch last month. I'll list a few things I like about the 2nd gen touch.
1. internal speaker. makes a huge difference in my opinion.
2. new design. alot nicer to hold in your hand than the 1st gen.
3. seems faster overall than the 1st gen touch.
4.display no longer has blue tint. now has more of a yellow tint. makes pics and movies look a little better.
If you can afford the 2nd gen touch I would highly recommend it.

Do any Macbook Air models come with a 160GB SSD?

My uncle said he just bought a new Macbook Air and it comes with a 160GB SSD??? I don't see this available on the Apple store website. Is this an option?

No Macbook Airs come with this option. 64, 128 or 256 GB only.
