Here's something cool to do, windows or mac nano

ok.
start listening to a song, then click the middle button on the click wheel 3 times very fast, it will then either be on the rating or the album artwork
then click the middle button again and it wont go away for a few tries
fun huh?!

Ah ha! I've been wondering about this for some time. Both my iPod Photo and iPod nano are synchronized manually. I kept wondering why the iPods would even let me rate the songs if it never went back into iTunes...
Virtual +++ for you, Colin.

Hi, here's something for the more experienced to ponder.

Hi, here's something for the more experienced to ponder.
As of the past week or two my service has been taking nose dives periodically.
The telephone service has also been affected. (noise and static like squeals)
This is not a new problem, it has been ongoing for three years.
I have repeatedly asked for a new pair (copper) to no avail.
We went the route of replacement modems, data rate changes, Verizon presidential appeals and the problem "seems" to correct itself with cooler weather in the fall.
I called repair service for the telephone just Friday and met with an understanding person on Verizon's end. She heard the noise on the line and listened patiently to my internet troubles. She assured me that she could schedule someone to fix the problem on Saturday, 6/16/2012 I thanked her and let it go for Friday.
This morning at about 9:00 AM I got a call from a Verizon representative, not about the problem, but rather about how the representative at repair service handled the call. I said the call handling was a ten on their scale. But when the question was asked about if I would recommend Verizon to someone, I had to ask that it could be repeated because of the noise on the line.
It's pretty obvious that I didn't give a good mark as the answer to that question.
But to the technical side of this to get people to ponder on this, here's my PRESENT Transceiver Statistics, copy and pasted for you to ponder....
Transceiver Statistics
Transceiver Revision    A2pB020b3.d20h
Vendor ID Code             4D54
Line Mode                      ADSL_2plus
Data Path                       FAST
Transceiver Information   Down Stream Path   Up Stream Path
DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec)                    358   747
Margin (dB)       16.0                         9.9
Line Attenuation (dB)                      62.5                        38.3
Transmit Power (dBm)                    15.5                         12.4
( NO EDITING WAS DONE TO THE NUMBERS ABOVE, Formatting was done, adding spaces, to attempt to make it clearer to read. )
I did not make any rude or crude remarks, because I think I may be on a watch list as my last two messages were edited and then deleted. But the bottom line is that I am not a "happy camper".
Further food for thought; my filter is located in the demarcation box, from there to the modem is a home run with approved wire. An additional filter is installed after the "voice line" comes into the house from the demarcation box for the whole house.
Line to the pole is new, maybe three pair, I don't remember. Distance to the central office is about two miles, BUT there is some sort of device installed in the lines between here and there, according to what was said by previous repair personnel.
This is the third year with these problems.
Any thoughts?, anyone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks Mr. Smith,
I'll try and get back in after the dust settles and let you know how it goes.
If I can't, thanks again!

Hello, I am new to java and I am trying to something cool

Hello I am new to Java and I am trying to do something cool. I have written some code and it compiles nicely. Basically what I am trying to do is use ActionListeners with JTextArea to change the size of a rectangle thing.
Here is my code. The problem is that when I push the submit button nothing happens. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class SecondGate extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
     float sxd = 190f;
     float dps = 190f;
     JTextArea Long = new JTextArea(1,3);
     JTextArea Short = new JTextArea(1,3);
     JLabel one = new JLabel("width");
     JLabel two = new JLabel ("Height");
     JButton Submit = new JButton("Submit");
public SecondGate() {
super("Draw a Square");
setSize(500, 500);
     Submit.addActionListener(this);
     setLayout(new BorderLayout());
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     String Width = Float.toString(sxd);
     String Height = Float.toString(dps);
     Rect sf = new Rect(Width, Height);
     JPanel pane = new JPanel();
     pane.add(one);
     pane.add(Long);
     pane.add(two);
     pane.add(Short);
     pane.add(Submit);
     add(pane, BorderLayout.EAST);
     add(sf,BorderLayout.CENTER);
setVisible(true);
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
Object source = evt.getSource();
if (source == Submit) {
          sxd = Float.parseFloat(Long.getText());
          dps = Float.parseFloat(Short.getText());
     repaint();
     public static void main(String[] arguments) {
SecondGate frame = new SecondGate();
class Rect extends JPanel {
     String Width;
     String Height;
public Rect(String Width, String Height) {
super();
this.Width = Width;
this.Height = Height;
public void paintComponent(Graphics comp) {
super.paintComponent(comp);
Graphics2D comp2D = (Graphics2D)comp;
comp2D.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
     BasicStroke pen = new BasicStroke(5F, BasicStroke.CAP_BUTT, BasicStroke.JOIN_ROUND);
comp2D.setStroke(pen);
     comp2D.setColor(Color.blue);
     BasicStroke pen2 = new BasicStroke();
comp2D.setStroke(pen2);
Ellipse2D.Float e1 = new Ellipse2D.Float(235, 140, Float.valueOf(Width), Float.valueOf(Height));
comp2D.fill(e1);
     GeneralPath fl = new GeneralPath();
     fl.moveTo(100F, 90F);
     fl.lineTo((Float.valueOf(Width) + 100F),90F);
     fl.lineTo((Float.valueOf(Width) + 100F),(Float.valueOf(Height) + 90F));
     fl.lineTo(100F,(Float.valueOf(Height) + 90F));
     fl.closePath();
     comp2D.fill(fl);
     }

Remote Disc Can't recognize Blank disc, but it does recognize other discs. I am trying to burn something from my itunes on my mac mini to a blank disc on my windows computer. What could be wrong?

Remote Disc Can't recognize Blank disc, but it does recognize other discs. I am trying to burn something from my itunes on my mac mini to a blank disc on my windows computer. What could be wrong?
I can see other discs such as music and stuff so I know I have installed it correctly but how come I can't see the blank disc that I need to burn?

You can't burn discs remotely, you can only read data discs remotely (i.e. you cannot play movie DVDs either).
Either copy the files to the remote computer or get an external drive.

Stops working when I chose to open something in a new window

When I open firefox, it takes about 5 minutes for it to actually open, and then if I go to a website and a new window pops up, or if something auto opens in a new window, or if I choose to open something in a new window, firefox stops responding, so I have to open up the task manager to end it and then restart it again. I've checked my plugins and made sure everything is up to date and have tried reinstalling firefox, and it's still having problems.

Hello David.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.

I have a feeling this has been up here a lot. I updated ios 6 to my phone with no problems but I also back my phone up. I decided to help the wife out and update hers and something went wrong data lost. All contacts, photos, etc without backup, help.

I have a feeling this has been up here a lot. I updated ios 6 to my phone (4S) with no problems but I also back my phone up. I decided to help the wife out and update hers and something went wrong data lost. All contacts, photos, etc without backup, help.

if you have no back up in icloud or itunes the best you can do is sync with your computer and get back what you can from there

Just wanted to share something cool...

Want to see something cool?
Check out the counters on my site - looks like a .Mac counter but it's actually Statcounter! Cool, right???
Code swap via script by Cyclosaurus - I know he has already shared it with several people from the forum so if you like it you should email him and I am sure he will share!
And now I am sure he will disown me for saying that, ha! (Had his blessings to post about it but not to tell everybody to ask about it.) I will refrain from posting his URL to try to redeem myself!
Have fun

Thanks for that upbeat post, cjsiv.
I'm 100% with you on the PC>Mac switch.
I'm VERY happy I got my 24" iMac. (Just got it Oct. 30th.)
Yeah, it was 2 grand; yeah, I coulda paid a lot less on a powerful PC, but it would not have been as complete and satisfying of an experience as getting an iMac.
I laughed, I actually laughed when I got the iMac home, took it out of the box and found ONE cord to plug in! The power cord. I gleefully plugged that baby in. I was so used to connecting this to that to the other thing... with all the PC's I've built.
I use Logic Pro now as my main app - making music. It is SO rock solid. I can't tell you have many issues I've had on a PC - compatibility issues, playback glitches and hiccups, etc. I still have this leftover anxious habit of saving my work at every turn for fear the app will crash and I'll lose all my editing. Running Logic on this iMac is slowly rebuilding my feeling of confidence in making my music on a computer.
For me, just like you, I can say about my Mac conversion 'Everything has worked as designed.'

How do I change my iPod from Windows to Mac ?

When I got my IPod, my music was on a windows computer. Now I have a MacBook Pro and want to convert my Ipod nano to the Mac. How can I do this as I am new to the IPod and very new to the MacBook?

Connect it to your Mac and restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase and reformat the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7
If you haven't transferred the music from your PC to the Mac and you have any iTMS purchases on your iPod the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

As soon as video touches my Source or Program windows the Mac Pro (3,1) shuts down

Linc,
You keep showing up when I search for this problem so I hope you can help.
I'm having the same issue in Premiere and Media Encoder (but not After Effects). My Mac just restarts itself as soon as video is loaded. I can start Premiere and open a project and go through relinking media, but as soon as video touches my Source or Program windows the Mac Pro (3,1) shuts down.
I've fixed the problem temporarily two times. The first time I was troubleshooting what was wrong and wound up putting in my old video card and after that fixed the problem, I switched back to my GTX 680. I also did a driver update. After doing that I was ok for a few days so I figured it was a driver thing or maybe the card just needed to be reseated. Then when it started acting up again I figured something was going on.
So I started searching again and came across one of your posts that recommended removing CUDA. I did that and it worked perfectly for a week until about 20 minutes ago. Crashed in the middle of an edit and now each time I restart Premiere it crashes as soon as video touches my monitors.
I found this post because I specifically searched for "com.nvidia.web.NVDAResmanWeb(8.2.7)" from my Problem Report.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Darren

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the shortened log. Here's the full thing. By the way, where do you learn to read these things? Are there keywords like "error" that you just learn to look for or is it something for in depth?

How to format external drive for use against windows and mac

Hi.
Please bear with me, a possible MAC newbie here
I'm about to buy the 13" Mac Book Pro (after ditching the Lenovo X301 because of a super slow processor, slow FSB, slow intel graphics).
But I have a couple of questions before I buy this Mac Book Pro.
NOTE:
My main OS (stationary pc) is Windows, and will probably be so for a long time.
But I need a lightweight laptop while on the run, and could not actually find any other one than the Mac Book Pro that met my requirements.
I'm using Adobe Lightroom for indexing and managing images on my windows stationary computer and will also use Lightroom on my Mac Book Pro.
I'm to use an external HDD for this purpose and will need to be able to both write and read to/from that HDD from both MAC and Windows.
Export lightroom library to External HDD from Windows (thumbnails + keywords).
Import new images and edit keywords etc from mac book pro in lightroom.
Import changes into my windows library version after been edited from library in mac book pro.
What options do I have when it comes to formatting that HDD?
What will the PROS and CONS be for the different options?
Note (I'm not to switch to Aperture (my main computer is still Windows))
Regards

Hi.. and thanks for that answer... another related here:
I'm to buy this external drive:
http://www.lacie.com/no/products/product.htm?pid=11038
This page:
http://pc.wikia.com/wiki/FAT32
tells me that windows XP will only format FAT32 to max 32GB,
will my upcoming MAC book PRO be able to format that whole disk using FAT32?
Or do I have to use something else to format it with?
Regards

Printing through Windows on Mac with printers set up on Time Capsule?

I have my printer hooked up to Time Capsule and can print from my Macbook to it no problem. I would like to print from Windows (on my Macbook through Fusion) to the same printer. How do I install that printer in Windows? Do I need to use Bonjour since the printer is already on my network? The printer does not show up in Windows at all right now.
Thanks much

I managed to work through this problem in 2 different installations.
In one case Bonjour did find the printer in the Bonjour Add Printer Wizard(an Epson CX-5000)
In the second case - a Brother MFC-6800 - the printer did not show up as a choice in the Bonjour Add Printer Wizard.
You might check that the drivers for the printer that is attached to the TC are installed on the Windows system.
In this case I know the Brother drivers were installed but they don't seem to support a remote print server set up. However, the Bonjour Add Printer Wizard offered 2 choices - a generic PCL and a generic PS printer. I chose the generic PS printer and that worked....
Printing with a print server - which is what we're talking about here - is something that some printers do better than others. In my experience some printers, particularly their Windows drivers, sort of do their own thing which isn't conducive to playing by the rules which is important with print servers.

Switching from Windows to Mac. Is it worth it? Please help!

Hey everybody,
I think I finally made my decision to switch from windows to Mac,..the I-book. G4 (not the power book). The I-book I want is around 1299.00, with the wider screen,..than the smaller i-book.
Anyhow,.what led me to this decision was just sending back the Sony FS series. It was sleek beautiful and"white" like I love,..but the speakers were awful. I have just about given up on trying to find a decent notebook. I love the look of the i-book,..but cant get that gorgeous wide screen from Sony out of my mind. It was more than the speakers. Just too noisy. Anyway...if you bought this i-book all over again,..would you? Alos I have a brand new Linskys Router with the built in Security. Would the Macs intergrated wireless card,..work with my router?
Please help!

planning on getting this notebook. Need advice

I'm afraid you're not exactly going to get an unbiased opinion here
As a long-time Mac fan (back since System 6) who was forced into a PC world man years ago, OSX has re-kindled my passion for computing. I'm an old Unix guy and OSX has combined the best PC operating system with the power of Unix. To the average user who doesn't care about shell scripts and porting free applications, what you'll get from Unix is a tremendous amount of reliability and security...
One of the best reasons for anyone to switch to the Mac was summed up in a post over on iLounge as a reply to someone who was switching. When asked why anyone would switch, one reply simply said, "...because he realises that a computer should be a productivity tool, not a virus scanner."
In the year since I've bought my Mac Mini, the only failure I've had has been a crash of Virtual PC (an emulator that will allow you to run your old Windows-based applications), which took the virtual disk out and forced me to reinstall my Windows environment. That's nothing different than I've experienced countless times on my old PC.
That said, I'm looking at a 12" iBook. I didn't even consider the 14" because I don't want something larger that doesn't give me extra screen real-estate. I debated the 15" Powerbook but decided I don't really need it's larger screen, and I'd rather have something more portable. There are companies out there that sell dual-layer DVD-RW drives that can be installed in an iBook (even the 12" Powerbook only ships with a single-layer DVD burner).
512mb should be plenty, unless you plan on editing video or running Virtual PC--in which case, I'd recommend at least a gig.

IPod classic - switching from Windows to Mac

I have an iPod classic and am switching from Windows to Mac - what's the best way to retain my iPod library? Thanks!

If you just want to connect and use the iPod on the Mac then set it to manual update on your PC first. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod
Macs can read Windows drives, the iPod shuffle for instance comes Windows formatted and is fully supported (you can update the firmware or restore it on the Mac and it retains it's Windows formatting). Other iPods (such as a 5th Generation or Classic for example) can be used in Windows format on a Mac but have to have the firmware updated or be restored on a PC to maintain the formatting. If however you don't intend using the iPod on a PC again you'll need to transfer your library from your PC so you can restore and reformat the iPod and keep it's firmware updated.
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your new iTunes directly from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

Encoding for Premiere in Windows from Mac FCP

Hi,
I'm a Final Cut Pro user. I have a client who sent us a drive with the complaint that "they can't read or copy the files" onto their Windows computer with Premiere CS6 installed. The problem as I see it is twofold: one, it's a Mac-formatted drive; and two, the files are Quicktime ProRes and XDCam-EX videos. These came from a third-party shooter, BTW.
I'm trying to find an easy solution that will let me return the drive to the client as something they can plug in and work with. I figure I'll pull the files off, reformat the drive as NTFS, and dump back. Here's the thing: I understand that it's possible to edit in ProRes and in XDCam-EX in Premiere, in Windows...but I have little confidence that the client will be able to figure out how to do it. I can convert these files - just need to know what to convert to, to make it easy. They are 1080i at 29.97 fps.   What's a good format that lets a Premiere user basically plug-and-edit...? Or am I off-base, and it will be easy for my client to grab and use these files?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Jesse

To easily move HDDs between Windows and Mac, use ExFat instead of NTFS. It's supported by both OSs and can use large files (unlike FAT32).
Installing the ProRes codec (read only) on Windows is trivial. Install Quicktime and you are done. However, lots ofpeople here will pour scorn on using *anything* encoded in a Quicktime wrapper because it's (currently) a 32 bit platform so is perhaps not running as fast as the native 64 bit codecs.
Personally, I use ProRes quite happily on both Windows and Mac.    Another alternative is Avid's DNxHD (free download for both Mac & Windows).

Switching form WINDOWS to MAC

I have the first generation ipod nano, which i originally formatted with windows. Meanwhile, my PC crashed and whent to neverland...i lost everything including my music and i have left only the music transferred on my ipod. Since was the last drop in dealing with PCs...i got a new mac...and would like to do two things....
1)transfer somehow my music from my ipod to the my new mac ... iTunes library
2)update the software on the ipod to 1.3 version or later...the message I have right now in my Summary page in ITunes is that only Mac-formatted ipod can be upgraded...Does this mean i need to reset to factory settings and reset my ipod using my new mac? but then i will loose all my music. Also, i can't even remember if there was an installation disk originally...if it did have one i don't have it anymore..Any advice on how i can upgrade my software? I already have 7.0 iTunes.

Yes it does, Apple only fully support using a Windows formatted iPod shuffle on a Mac. You can't update a Windows formatted iPod on a Mac without restoring it which will erase and reformat it with the Mac file system and firmware. If you copy the music back to iTunes first you can reload it after the restore.

Here's something cool to do, windows or mac nano
