Has there ever been a way/consideration to update an ipod shuffle by attaching it to an iphone or ipad?

Has there ever been a way/consideration to update an ipod shuffle by attaching it to an iphone or ipad? With a small audio cord, would it be possible to update and charge an ipod shuffle via an iphone or ipad? This could be useful for people on the go who want to add music to a workout playlist or have forgotten to charge their shuffle before a run/ride.

No, this is not possible. A computer has traditionally been a required part of the whole package, and only recently has become optional with iCloud and direct iTunes / app downloads.
In any event an iOS device has to get its content directly from a computer or directly from Apple. There is no other way.

  • Has there ever been a battery recall by Apple on Macbook Pro's?

    Got the dreaded bulging bat issue, but wondering if apple ever addressed this with customers?
    It's obviously a design flaw and they should exchange them.

    There was a recall a few years ago on Sony manufactured batteries that were fitted to some MacBook Pro's, take yours to an Apple Store and have it checked.

    yes.  you may need to reset your network settings.  settings - general - reset - reset network settings.
    then reconnect to your wifi and try again

  • Has anyone ever been quoted more than $500 to replace a failed logic board?

    Has anyone ever been quoted more than $500 to replace a failed logic board? A Genius buddy of mine swears that it'll never be over $500 but I' convinced he's high out of his mind.

    I doubt it. They don't even take the same kind of RAM.
    What makes you think a replacement "will most likely go bad in the future"? Some have had to go back more than once; many haven't. (And many have not gone in at all.) There are many iBook users out there, happily iBooking away without any knowledge of the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program because they've never had a problem.
    Get it replaced, free, NOW, and worry about the future when it gets here.

  • Is it or has it ever been possible to select multiple PDF's and print into a single print stream using Reader

    We have Multiple users who claim they have been able to select multiple PDF's and select print. It then would send to a single stream and end up as one document. These are reader users.
    We have tested under reader 10.1.4 and 11.0.06 and haven't been able to make it work. Has this ever been possible?

    Thanks everyone. That's what I needed to know.

  • Forms 10g will there ever been an 11g?

    Someone told me that forms 10g will be the last version of Oracle Forms. There will never be an version 11. Oracle Jdeveloper will be the way to go from version 10 of forms. Any comments on this? How will we migrate from Forms 10g to JDeveloper/ADF/Jheadstart... and when...

    Would you be willing to share who this "someone " was....I can tell you they are talking complete rubbish.. We have ben VERY clear about this in the statement of direction document.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/ToolsSOD.pdf
    "Oracle recognizes this considerable investment and remains
    committed to the long-term support of these products."
    "Oracle’s development teams are already working on features for Forms/Reports 11g and beyond. This aligned with the commitment outlined above means that Oracle is already committing development resources that will take Forms and Reports through to, at least, 2013."
    Please pass this on to who ever was telling you that there would not be a Forms 11.
    Thanks

  • Has anyone ever been able to boot Clonezilla on a macbook?

    Is there any way at all to boot Clonezilla on a Macbook? Either a bootable Live USB stick or Live CD.
    Judging by the results of a google search, it would seem this is not possible.

    I'm an IT guy myself, with quite a bit of VPN experience under my belt, and I've thrown everything I know at the Airport with no success. I have a feeling the problem could be one of two things.
    1. The port forwarding feature is TCP only (ipsec needs 500 UDP)
    2. The VPN passthrough function is interfering with PC based VPN, and has only been tested with Apple VPN software.
    Has anyone tried contacting Apple support with this issue? Any official responses?

  • Has anyone ever been able to leave openbox for good?

    I just went on a little adventure over the past couple of days trying out different WMs and DEs.  I went from XFCE, to gnome, to XFCE, then compiz stand-alone and back again.  I found that in every environment I was trying to make it feel more like my openbox setup.  Finally I realized that I needed to come back to my comfort zone.  I must confess, the main thing I miss from using other DEs is compiz and its wobbly, snapping windows.  Not to mention expo, and the desktop wall.  However, I hate dealing with all the crap that comes with a DE, and compiz standalone is just not there yet.  I also dabbled in awesome because I like the idea of being able to tile my windows, but I don't work enough in terminals to go that far. 
    Has anyone else ever tried to leave openbox? If so, why? Did you leave for good?

    The OP's question implies that you would want to leave Openbox.
    Btw, for those who enjoy the merits of tiling WMs, just configure your openbox to behave like one. I have the following in my rc.xml file which lets me very quickly arrange windows in a tiled layout with no wasted space on my desktop using the MoveToEdge and GrowToEdge actions. Using these actions on windows without decorations lets you created any tiled layout that you want (I tried Awesome before Openbox but just couldn't stand the limited layout options). All it takes is a few drags and clicks.

    You could of course skip the mouse and create some keyboard bindings to handle all of this too.

  • Has anyone ever been able to get a Windows VPN to work on Airport Express?

    I've got an Aiport Express hooked up as my primary router for my home network. My laptop is running Windows XP and I'm using SafeNet as the VPN client. When I use any PC based router and open port 500 I cang et the VPN to work no problem. As soon as I started using the Airpot, I can get the initial authentication to work, but all secured data packets keep getting dropped. I have a feeling it's because UDP port 500 isn't being passed through (though apple's documentation says VPN passthrough is supported), but I'm not sure.
    I've seen a number of people with the same problem, but I haven't seen anyone get it to work. Has anyone been able to do this using IPSEC based VPN?
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • Will there ever be a way to send photos to another phone?

    Holy %^%%$#... I've been doing this from my cheap little FREE phone for years. Any hope? Suggestions?

    best thing to do is have your friends type in your email address you use on your iphone instead of your phone number. you will have to see pictures in emails...but in return you get your friend's cell phone's "email address" (verizon wireless is [email protected]). if you want to send a picture, you send it to that email address and they get it on their phone as a picture message like they normally would
    once you have all the info you need, this way is just as easy and doesnt cost you a thing
