Hi.. Welcome to the Palm fourms. Check your Vista version, most likely you'll find it is a 64bit version for which there are no drivers available. The only way to sync is via bluetooth. Go to the windows hotsync forum and you will find instructions how to sync via bluetooth.

Started up our new iMac as a first time Mac owner. Migrated itunes from my PC, via Migration Assistant. Can not find the files, any idea where they may be?

Can't help with the iTunes thing, since I don't have a PC to muck with. However, once you sort this issue out, see these, and welcome to Mac land:

First Time Mac Owner (Advice/Upgrade Options)

Hey guys,
I am a first time Mac owner, and I am very excited about ridding my self of MS and all their bloatware. I ordered the MBP 15" base model early last week, and I have a few questions about upgrades. Being the base model, it has the 250gb 5,400rpm hard drive and only 2gb of ram. I would like to upgrade to 4gb of ram and a 7,200 rpm hard drive (links posted below). As my money unfortunately doesn't grow on tree's, I will likely have to update one, then the other at a later date. I bring this up, as I have considered waiting on a cheaper SSD's.
*I guess my question, is where will I see the biggest performance improvement?*
I think I am a fairly typical user, though I like to get the most I can out of a system. I teach at a local university, and a big part of my time with the system will be creating lesson plans, presentations, and spreadsheets. I will also do some basic photo and video editing, starting with the programs supplied in iLife. In my free time I hope to enjoy some basic gaming, mostly RTS games and WoW.
I know this post is getting too long, but in addition to which hardware upgrade would give me the most bang for the buck, *what does everyone think about iWork?* As summer is and all of my grading is completed, I think I will have the time to learn a new program along with the new operating system.
Thanks for your thoughts,
Troy

Do the RAM first. A 250GB hard drive is a lot of storage for the stuff you do. You sound more likely to need more memory for more programs running at the same time, and that means RAM.
what does everyone think about iWork?
If you are not a Microsoft Office power user, then iWork can be pretty great, actually. If you use the obscure features of Word and Excel, iWork will seem underpowered.

HT1476 if i bought my ipod touch 32gb in germany where the voltage is 220v and i live in America where the voltage is 110, i will have to wait to get to my home to charge it for first time or I can charge it here and change the voltage of the battery in A

if i bought my ipod touch 32gb in germany where the voltage is 220v and i live in America where the voltage is 110, i will have to wait to get to my home to charge it for first time or I can charge it here and change the voltage of the battery in America?
please i need help, im worried that if I connect my ipod here, it will burn or sometihng bad.

Just connect it to a computer's USB port.
Most wall chargers are dual voltage (110- 220 volts) and only require a plug adopter. Check the wall charger to see if yours is.

I have an imac osx 5 mos.old. First time today I can not open my desktop folder/files. I need to read them. Message is: appleworks 6 quit unexpectedly. I need to read them. Is it possible that new software downloaded yesterday is problem?

I have an imac osx 5 months old. For the first time today I can not open my desktop folders which are very important to me. How can I open these folders.
The message when I click on the folder is "appleworks 6 quit unexpectedly". I can not open the folder. Is it possible that new software installed could cause the problem when I get the message "new softward available for your computer, install now. Maybe I should never install upgrade. Please help in layman's language how to open my folders. Thanks.

The curious thing here is that on the one hand the code cannot be loaded so how could the trojan code be ever executed. But you would expect the "Unexpectedly quit" message if the intel trojan did get executed in a ppc app. So this begs the question when (and how) does the trojan code get executed in conjunction with launching an app?
I understand code injected into a specific app like safari that uses the global environment variable to access the code in /Users/Shared. But I don't understand how that code could be executed by attempting to run an randomly chosen ppc app. Unless of course other code has been injected is in a more critical place than just safari and that is scary.
Some of this was explained to us a few weeks back by an infected user who reverse engineered the code, working with Intego to figure out why he was being re-directed on Google searches. At the time, nobody believed much of anything he was saying, but F-Secure explains it more fullly in this analysis. Note that there is a filter component to keep it from loading code into apps that would be unstable, so watch for the next variant to filter out ppc only apps.
In a related matter, I got word from the PC side of the house that similar techniques are being used by drive-by infections that were injecting code into a running app which would disappear when they quit the app. A one-time infection, so to speak. Makes it really hard to even know you were temporarily infected, let alone how, why, what damage, etc.

Select a file you want to transfer and drag it to the desired destination.
If you need help with the basics of OS X you can:
Select Mac Help (or Help Center) from the Finder's Help menu and enter a search keyword. For your question you might search for "copy," "file copy," or "drag and drop" for example.
See Apple - Support - Mac 101
Visit the Apple website where you will find additional information and tutorials on how to use OS X.

German umlauts are not shown correctly, when a received e-mail is opened the first time. What can I do?

When I open a received e-mail the first time, German umlauts (ä, ö, ü) are not shown correctly. Instead of them there are characters like §,$. When I close the e-mails and open them again the German umlauts are shown correctly. I don't know how to solve that problem. Who can help me?

Fascinating. Sounds like an inconsistency between the encoding being used and the encoding being declared. I can't think why it should change when you re-open the message, unless Thunderbird is adding a correct encoding declaration.
(Most users complain about it working in the opposite direction; messages stored as drafts often restore with damaged "special" characters such as smart quotes, accented characters and umlauts.)

Yesterday for the first time that I can remember that I ran into massive lags on a 720p video I was watching on a website, was my Macbook overheating?

I'd owned my Macbook for about a year and it's a Macbook 2009 mid model 2.13ghz and I ran into a weird bug yesterday. I had Xat chatroom open which is a flash chatroom and Cinemassacre Angry Video Game Nerd video open yesterday and I heard my fan running loud and non-stop. While I was watching the video the video was showing up like still images instead of in motion. Does that mean my Macbook was overheating if it was turning Video Motion into still images? I shut down my Macbook and started it back up. I hope its not linked to my ssd harddrive. Also, this is the first time I think I ran into this bug. When I'm laying in bed I have my Macbook resting on a dresser desk like a flat piece of wood because I think thats better for ventilation than it would be to just laying on my bed. I might have had my Macbook on for 5-7 hours with nosleep(a program to stop the macbook from sleeping) on. Could that have caused some problems?

Always make sure the ventialation slots are never covered otherwise it can overheat.

First time DSLR owner...help!

I'm planning on buying my first DSLR around the holidays, and I have no idea what to look for in a camera, as I am brand-new to the DSLR scene.
I'm looking for something that I can grow into as I learn more about photography, etc, and preferably be under $750. I am really looking for the best value for the money, and something that takes sharp and detailed pictures of everything...sports, nature, city scenes, family events...
If someone could also give me a brief crash-course in all the terms and things related with these cameras, it would be very much appreciated
The three cameras that I've looked at: (Can someone highlight the main differences between the three for me? Much appreciated!
Canon Rebel T1i- (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Canon+-+EOS+Digital+Rebel+T1i+15.1-Megapixel+Digital+SLR+Camera+-+Black/...)
Nikon D5000- (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nikon+-+12.3-Megapixel+D5000+Digital+SLR+Camera+-+Black/9311755.p?id=121...)
Nikon D3100- (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nikon+-+D3100+14.2-Megapixel+Digital+SLR+Camera+-+Black/1222817.p?id=121...)
Thank you for your time!

Hi oliviaaa06,
Thanks for reaching out to us on this! I remember when I
purchased my first SLR, and I can understand that this can be an intimidating
prospect. With Canon or Nikon DSLRs you really can’t go wrong no matter what
model you end up getting, but I can say that I personally feel like Nikon has
the slight upper-hand when it comes to entry level DSLRs.
All three of the models you have listed are very close in
specifications and build quality, and the lens lineup for both Canon and Nikon
are very comprehensive. The Canon T1i and the Nikon D3100 are the pure entry
level DSLRs for Canon and Nikon, while the Nikon D5000 is one step above the
entry level camera that was available from Nikon when it was released (the
Nikon D3000).
If the video capability is important to you I feel like
the T1i and the D3100 have the advantage over the D5000. The T1i has a much
higher resolution LCD that the two Nikon models. The D5000 will have a slightly
better build quality.
The Canon T1i takes the highest resolution images, the
D3100 produces slightly lower resolution, and the D5000 captures the lowest
resolution images out of these three models. With that said when it comes to
the number of pixels a DSLR is capable of more is not always better. The more
pixels you squeeze into a specific sensor area the harder it is to produce a
camera that does well in low-light situations. The D5000 has the advantage if
low-light photography is something you feel like your new DSLR will be used
for.
As far as giving you a crash course in the terms related to DSLR cameras I could do
that here, but I have already done this in my thread “Digital Camera tips part
2” that is floated to the top of this board. I would suggest reading through
all the threads floated at the top of this board to get a better understanding
of DSLRs (and photography in general).
I hope this helps!

First time Blackberry owner.

Me and my fience just bought the 8330 from sprint. First time for both of us owning a BB. Figured this would be the best place to learn trick for the BB or getting questions answered. The only really question I have is what gig card will the BB support? I would really like to get a 16 gig card but I have heard mixed things some have told me that it will work and others said that it has not been tested.

thanks started looking around on here and found out that my phone will support a 16 gig.

I was setting up my IPod Nano 7 for the first time and I can't play the songs I bought. What did I do wrong?

I was setting up my IPod Nano7 for the first time and purchased 3 songs. When I went to play it on my IPod the screen said "No Music". What did I do wrong?

We are going through same thing and looks like alot of other people also. Seems to me Apple would have invalid email instead of us loosing the gift card all together. Very irratating. Good Luck.

First time MacBook user can't connect to a wireless network

Just got my first mac (mbpro 15) yesterday and can't seem to connect to my wireless network. I can see my network but when I select it, it doesn't connect. Do I have to do anything with my router since this is my first mac? The connection for my airport is showing as an amber color. What can I do to connect my cmputer to the Internet? Thanks

I just got done dealing with this. It took me 2 days and after 5 hours on the phone with Apple and Belkin they could not help me. I found out what to do after reading the forms. Try turning off the security on your router first. Then reset the router. Open the MacBook network preferences go to advanced setting for the airport. Delete your network connection. Now turn off your airport then turn it back on. Find your network again and connect now that the security if off. When this is done restart your MacBook. You should be able to connect now. This worked for me. I did not want to keep my network open so I then added the WPA2 security if you have it or use WPA pick a password and then start the process again. Reset the router. Open the MacBook network preferences go to advanced setting for the airport. Delete your network connection. Now turn off your airport then turn it back on. Find your network again and connect putting in the password this time. Now restart the MacBook and with some luck you should be good to go. I was ready to throw my MacBook out a window before I figured this out. Please let me know if you need more details than this. Good luck.
