Hard drive or flash? Smart volume on Vision:M or new Z

Hello all
Hoping someone out there can answer one or both of my questions...
Firstly, does anyone know if the new Zen or the Vision:M have the 'smart volume' function, which near-enough equalizes the volume of all music stored on the player
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, I'm weighing up whether to get a flash player, perhaps with less memory, or a hard dri've (basically the Zen or the Vision:M). The reason for asking is that I've has two Zen Sleeks and both have died after just over a year so I wondered if a flash dri've would be likely to last longer or is it just as likely to malfunction
Any help would be greatly appreciated - please note that I have read other posts on the virtues or both players so I don't need to know much else about which is better of the two!
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes, the new Zen has the Smart Volume feature.
As to the harddisk or Flash memory question, I supposed it all depends on your usage. If you want to listen during exercise or on the move, the flash memory version should be a better buy as it should handle all the knocks and shakes.
However if you want to carry all your albums with you then the harddisk version is great.

What is your iMac model? It would seem that your internal hard drive has failed since it is not found at startup. Depending on the model of your iMac, replacing the hard drive could be either easy or difficult.

How can I save a session to another hard drive or flash drive?

I want to rebuild my hard drive but I want to save the Firefox session (like 70 tabs) before I do so I can reload them after the rebuild. Can I save a session to another hard drive or flash drive?

The data of the current session is stored in the sessionstore.js file in the profile folder.

I have a mid-2010 27" Quad Core i5 iMac running 10.8.3. Startup disk recognizes the primary hard drive as a startup volume but will not boot from it. Have tried zapping PRAM, ran disk utility. No errors reported Any thoughts?

My bad Eric. The startup preference recognizes the primary as a 10.8.3 startup volume but when u select it the system does not boot. I can only boot from my external backup drive

New Macbook Pro...Hard drive vs Flash...which is better?

I'm looking to upgrade my '07 iMac to a new Macbook Pro. I'm wondering whether to get the hard drive or flash drive....any suggestions as to which is better? Also, going with the Retina display I lose the DVD drive & would have to go with an external drive...is that display worth losing the drive??

No. It's power hungry and it has issues.

Flash drive will give you less problems and is shock reistant, but the data you store on it can be accessed even if deleted.
There is a device from Cellibrite that can be used to gleam the password and retrieve all data of a flash based cell phone, iPad etc, even if deleted. So natually flash based computer will be added to the list and Apple is cooperating to do this at the request of the government for fast access/copying at Customs etc, regardless of Filevault.
So a traditional hard drive offers a chance to really delete data, provided the 7x erase (far right selection) is used.
It also seems Apple has removed the 0x and 7x descriptions from 10.7, 10.8 Disk Utility, just giving you secure and more secure options, not telling you the specifics because 7x is Department of Defense level erase, meaning special magnetic instruments can't be used to recover data off a 7x erased hard drive.
going with the Retina display
Also you can't open it up, add RAM, remove/replace storage or fix it.
After three years when your AppleCare is up, you have to toss the Retina as nobody can repair it.
Unlike the 15" antiglare, it can go on a lot longer due to third party repair options, new drive, keyboard, more RAM, new fans etc.
Also the screen is viewable in nearly all conditions, unlike the Retina's glossy display.

Adding new hard drive for Flash recovery area

i am adding new hard drive for flash recovery area. How i can make single directory on that flash recovery area & how i can test that i am accessing that rightly , to that directory & flash back recovery area disk?

Are you on Windows or Unix? And are you using ASM?
I'll assume you are on Windows....So after allocating the drive, you will format it say as F drive. Then you can create a directory T:\Flash. The parameter determining the location of the flash recovery area is db_recovery_file_dest. But you also need to set the size of the flash recovery area as well. After that's done. You can do your backups to Flash and see if the directory is populated.

Is there a way to use an ipod touch 3rd generation as a hard drive or flash drive?

I have an ipod touch 3rd gen thats all cracked and tourn up, it still will boot up but it wont respond to touch and the headphone jack doesnt work. it still shows up in itunes and i can restore it and put music on it and everything, but sinse the touch doesnt work, i cant do anything with it. its also missing the top black part of the screen so you can see all the hardware and stuff. Is there any way to use it as just a hard drive or flash drive so that when i plug it in, it mounts to my desktop?

Well you actually can use it to hold all kinds of files.
If you don't like the itunes interface there are a whole lot of apps that will wired or wirelessly swap files back and forth with your iPod.
a few come to mind are/
phonedisk dropbox
shovebox
filemagnet
USBDISK
Air sharing
photoshare
amd these are just the ones I use on a weeklly basis, most were cheap or even free, check them out at the itunes store or from appshopper or something like that.
OR goto ifixit and order a new sceen and put it on yourself for cheap
HOpe this help.

I want to create a new folder on my external hard drive for photos. Even though I added the new folder button to the tool bar it is not highlighted so I cannot click on it to create a new folder on this drive.

I have an external hard drive that I would like to pre-make a new folder before I import photos into it. Even though I added the new folder app to by toolbar, it is not highlighted and I cannot use it. It will only let me create new folders if I upload to iPhoto. That is not where I want to store everything. So I need to figure out how to turn on or activate New Folder on my toolbar for all possible downloading options.

If it's a drive that you've previously used with a PC, just double-check the format - click the drive once on the desktop to highlight it, and click cmd-i (the command key and the i key together) to see the Info window. That will tell you, under Format, how it's formatted.
If it's "NTFS", that's the current Windows format. You can read but not write to it with a Mac. If you want full read/write access, you should look into Paragon NTFS, which allows you to do both. Note that some features of te Mac (Time Machine, for example) will only work with Mac-formatted drives.

- Transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

My computer crashed and I lost my hard drive. I have downloaded the itunes to my new pc. How do I sync my Iphone without loosing everything??

My computer crashed and I lost my hard drive. I have downloaded the Itunes on my new computer. I am afraid to sync my I phone as I don't want to loose everything on it and my I Tunes is blank - not what I had previously. ???? Can someone advise?

Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes. Then, as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar. Then, use iTunes File menu > Transfer Purchases from XXX's iPhone. This will transfer your purchased items.
For your other stuff you will need a 3rd party utility. Find discussion of them here
Unlike music and video purchases, iTunes Store Apps can be downloaded again without charge. This explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

When you boot the new machine for the first time, you'll be prompted to import your data from a Time Machine backup.

Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?

I currently have a 2009 Macbook and am wanting to upgrade to a new Macbook Pro. I have upgraded my hard drive in the macbook to a 500gb and have a duel boot with Windows 7 installed with Boot Camp along with other software that I do not want to lose. Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?

A much better solution is to hook your two Mac together and the first time you start the new Mac and it asks if you wish to recover data from another Mac, answer yes. This will invoke Setup Assitant which will do the job for you but intelligently.
I know because I just used Setup Assitant. It worked like a charm.

How do I export itunes library onto an external hard drive so i can put the music on my new mac book?

How do I export itunes library onto an external hard drive so i can put the music on my new mac book?

iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
