Here's what I

As I stated in a prior post, I reformatted my system and reinstalled Windows XP Pro. After everything was installed and in good working order I installed version 4.0 of the Vista Transformation Pack. I know that it's not the same as Vista Beta 2, but it's close. At least I am sitting here listening to 5. audio on WMP and typing this post on IE7. Until Creative Labs releases a working driver for Vista Beta 2 I am going to keep my system the way it is. I do not like spending hours setting up my PC.

TCol,
I respect your opinion, but disagree with your statement about people caring about my posts on this board concerning the lack of Vista Beta 2 driver support and my resulting transition back to Windows XP. Microsoft needs to know that the premier producer of soundcards was not prepared to offer beta testers a working set of drivers for Vista Beta 2. Based upon a sampling of responses to my posts, most seem agree with me. This does not even take into account the individuals who have demanded drivers in posts from other members of this board that essentially carry the same message as mine do. More and more folks are transitioning back to Windows XP out of sheer frustrastion with Creative's lack of driver support. After all, look at the cost of Creative's flagship line of soundcards. Who wants no sound, 2. sound or 7. mono sound from a soundcard costing hundreds of dollars?
Keep in mind that Vista Beta 2 was the largest public beta release in history and I would estimate that 80% of PC's use products from Creative Labs. I would think, or at least hope, that Creative is a member of the MSDN and had access to Vista Beta 2 well in advance before it was released to the public. I would expect for Creative to at least have a driver for their flagship products by now, wouldn't you?
My post concerning the Vista Transformation Pack was meant to point out that one can utilize Windows XP to achieve a GUI that is very similar to Vista Beta 2, but still have full functionality from a 5. or 7. system. This, I felt, was a viable short term solution until a set of working drivers is released.
Finally, my open letter to creative has generated over 30 replies and only one or two disagree with the statements that I made in that post. That particular post has been read over ,200 times. Do the math and see how many other posts on this board carry essentially the same message: "We want working drivers ASAP and the lack of drivers is unacceptable."
Perhaps you should be a little more clear and state that you feel that my posts are of no value, but that is not what the replies seem to indicate, nor what other posters on this board seem to indicate. The squeaky wheel gets the oil and I encourage everyone to squeak away until Creative Labs meets its customers expectations.
In closing, you do not have to worry about me posting on this board anymore. I intend to stick to Windows XP until Creative can put together a decent set of drivers, preferably unified.

  • "Click here to download the latest map app..." here's what you need to do...

    It looks like they're pushing out the googlemap -> Bing maps update to the palm pre handsets now.  The process they've come up with is kind of flawed.  It's probably best to just go to the app catalog & download the new map app directly.  If you wait for them to push it to you, what happens is that once you start googlemap, instead of going to the map app, it shows a hyperlink text stating "click here to download the latest map app."  Clicking that link will keep you in the googlemap app, but will display a webpage designed for a full-size browser experience.  You will have *no* way to zoom in to see any of the text.  It's all miniscule gibberish. 
    Here's what you need to do.  Everything you need is on the left hand side.  The first field is a drop down letting you pick your country.  Then, there's a field where you enter in the phone number associated with your palm. Then there's a check box that you need to check indicating that you've read whatever gibberish was written on the left side.  then you click the big grey button on the lower left. 
    It sends an sms message to you allowing you to link to the appropriate app download.  like I said...it probably would've saved you effort to just go directly to the app catalog.

  • OK. I have a copyright question. Do I have to put a copyright symbol on each of my photos to protect them from being stolen ? I'm referring to photos of paintings  here. What is to stop readers of the iBook from using the photos?

    Ok, I have a question concerning copright. Do I have to put a copyright symbol on every image I use- I'm refering to photos of paintings here. What is to stop readers of the ibook from using my images? They are all my own photos.

    You do not HAVE to put a © symbol on each photo. If you own the photos, you hold the copyright. However, nothing stops a viewer from downloading the photo and using it without your permission.
    To protect yourself there are alternatives: put a ©2013 by ME in the description of each photo. Always add your copyright notice to the metadata in every photo.
    I once had several of my photos taken off the internet and then used in a commercial catalog without my permission. I was outraged, the catalog company was naive, and in the end I received $100 compensation and an apology. - Fabini

  • Tour got wet - here's what it does - how can I tell if it is "fried"?

    My Blackberry Tour (from 2009 - Blackberry device manager says I am running BB OS 4.7.1)  got wet in a rainstorm (phone was outside, not submerged, the wetness indicator strip on the battery has not had a line appear on it but a tab inside the phone is all red) approx. 5 days ago - I did some of what I should have done and some of what I probably should not have done as far as patience, lack of patience, letting it dry (in gentle heat (no hair dryer, etc. or rice), giving it a try... Here's what it does - my main questions are - do I have any hope of rescuing my contacts data - unfortunately, never backed-up?  If so, how?:
    - Without the Battery in:  Connected by USB cable to my laptop (plugged-in, USBs powered) (Windows 7; Blackberry Desktop version 5 (installed from the CD that came with the phone)) finds the phone in Windows device manager (Blackberry Smartphone connected via USB), as above, Blackberry device manager shows status as connected, can identify the phone's PIN, Blackberry Desktop Manager can see that the phone is connected (can see it's PIN) but shows that the device is in Disconnected State, the screen on the phone shows the battery with red X through it.
    With a Battery In: 
    - the battery with red X goes away,
    typically starts with a red indicator light, then changes to black screen with hour glass,
    - then to black screen with "BlackBerry" and progress bar (showing boot progress?). 
    - Boot progress bar completes,
    - the screen shows the Verizon logo, then
    - I get a flash (sometimes longer than others) of my desktop picture (it's one of the pre-loaded ones that is not on the micro-SD card, which I have removed). 
    - At this point there is a new progress bar which indicates that the phone is checking security settings (I cannot remember verbatim what it says, but it typically completes and, since I probably shouldn't be powering it on, I will not do that to get an exact quote; suffice to say, that usually completes). 
    - In terms of the desktop, I can also see that, in addition to my selected picture being there , the phone remembers my alarm time at 6:40AM).
    - A couple of times when I restarted it, I held down the escape/back button during the boot and launched the phone in safe mode ("safe mode" appeared at the top of the screen - a dialog appeared that explained safe mode and allowed me to click "ok" that I accepted that I knew what safe mode was. 
    - Whether in safe mode or not, it usually at this point returned to the initial power-up sequence, in a loop, between the red indicator light and the hourglass animation - it does not return to the screen with the "BlackBerry" logo with progress bar, just the aforementioned loop.
    At this point, I have tried two batteries - both Blackberry OEM, but with known/potential issues:  1.) the battery that was in the phone at the time it got wet - is approx. a year old (in terms of use), but was holding a reliable charge for 3-4 hours of talk time and
    2.) an older battery which may have been the one that was replaced by battery 1 or may be older - it almost certainly had diminshed charge holding capacity and had started the bulge that lithium batteries develop as the near death.  These batteries were not obtaining much, if any, in the way of  charge while in the phone plugged in, but did, outwardly (light changed from orange to green on a Blackberry OEM charger form the D-X1 battery; have not done a test with a circuit tester, etc.), accept a charge via the outside the phone method.  When using the inside the phone method - prior to any outside charging - during the boot-up process, at the point at which I could see my desktop, the indicator light flashed with the orange light and/or the indicator that one typically gets when the battery is lacking needs a re-charge).
    I have received and I am currently charging a new D-X1 Blackberry OEM battery, via the aforementioned Blackberry OEM outside the phone charger, for a go-around with the closest thing that I can get to a no problems battery.  
    OK, I am an **bleep**: I tried to re-boot the phone right away, I wasn't doing a back-up (though I thought that it was 1.) the reason that I was buying a Blackberry with an SD card - that this information was going to be portable and 2.) that I thought that the tech from Verizon, way back when I bought it, set the phone up to store the information on the SD card (no such luck, not there) or the SIM card - how could I test that? (which is, perhaps, why I thought that a backup was taking place).  Anyway, as you can tell, I have tried to be as descriptive as possible herein to say what I am seeing, because there are a number of other people with similar problems posting in various places, but, not really the same problems (they are getting stuck on a white screen, not getting all the way through the boot that I describe, had a phone in the pool all day, don't care about the data, just trying to save the phone (I was lax about an upgrade, because I liked my phone and I had a decent outlay of cash in the phone to start-off - was pushing to make it to this fall, hopefully not much longer, to get the newer Blackberry Classic coming out... hopefully with my contact listing being ported over).  That said, I have found plenty of evidence that suggests saving the phone is a real possibility, but the data may be more of a challenge.
    Huge post, looking for thoughts - thanks for any consideration given to my problems.

    if booted up with out all the way dry you might have fried it
    put it in a bag of rice for a few days in a nice warm spot 90-100 F
    then try it again if it still does the same thing then its toast

    Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
    Host we need more details:
    What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
    What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
    Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
    Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

  • Here's what worked for me...

    Here's what worked for me:
    1) I opened iTunes and in Options, I selected iTunes as the default music player for my computer (it wasn't). (I even uninstalled RealPlayer and WinAmp.)
    2) I uninstalled iTunes and iPod, and reinstalled using the newer versions on the Apple site.
    3) I basically followed this advice:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=291183&tstart=0
    Which was basically to leave my iPod connected to the computer while rebooting. The first 2 times it didn't work, I forgot to put iTunes in the start menu, so that it opens when I reboot. I put iTunes and iTunes Helper (whatever that is) in the start menu (I used WinPatrol to do so, available for free here: http://www.winpatrol.com/), and then rebooted, and after a couple of tries, like magic iTunes opened, recognized my iPod, and updated it, and then, for the first time, without freezing my system, told me it was okay to disconnect.
    It even worked while still running my regular systray apps, like McAfee VirusScan, Ewido Anti-Malware, Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta, and SpywareBlaster, so those were not the issue. I get the impression you need to boot it once so it recognizes the iPod and does that handshake thing, and hopefully after that it'll always do the same. We'll see...
    I hope this helps someone, b/c its been a frustrating day working through all this, and I know a lot of others are still trying to get it solved. And thanks to jcog for posting his solution, that helped me, and hopefully this will help someone else...

    it worked until the next time I synced the iPod, and then back to the freeze up. Next thing I tried was this Microsoft help page:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    which advises on several things, all of which seem helpful, but the thing still freezes up. I can sync the iPod, then the system freezes and I have to reboot. So, I now believe Apple will have to issue a patch for these bugs when using the new 5G iPods with WinXP.

  • Successful update on a 3G--here's what I did

    I read a lot of threads here before deciding to take the plunge to update my 3G to OS4. I was able to update successfully thanks to the things I learned here, so I thought my experience might be helpful to someone else.
    Here's what I did:
    1. Installed the newest version of itunes.
    2. When itunes asked me to download/install OS4, I chose download only.
    3. While it was downloading, I asked it to transfer purchases from my phone to itunes. I copied all pictures to my computer and copied the itunes music folder to an external hard drive. And this became important later---in the itunes folder, there's a folder called Mobile Applications. I copied this to my desktop.
    4. I synced my phone so there would be a new backup.
    5. After some trial and error with the "update" button, I decided to go the "restore" route. I clicked on "restore" while holding down Shift, and it opened a folder for me to find the file I wanted to use. Vista puts the iphone update file in computer name/appdata/roaming/apple computer/itunes/iphone software updates. I clicked on the OS4 update.
    6. It restored the phone as a new phone, which was pretty fast. Then it asked me if I wanted to sync using a previous backup, so I selected the backup I had done right before restoring. It put all my data and settings back during this process (about 20-30 minutes) but did not return my apps or music.
    7. Once it finished restoring from the backup, I synced again and it put some of my apps and all of my music back on. A few of the apps wouldn't sync, so I went back into the Apps part of itunes (not the one within the phone, but in the itunes library) and saw that there were exclamation marks next to some of the apps. When I clicked on one, it asked me if I wanted to find the file. I found the copies I'd put on the desktop and clicked it, and it asked me if I wanted to do the same thing for all the apps whose files were missing. It restored all of them that way, and I was able to sync again and put them on the phone. Then I rebooted the phone, and that was that.
    All said and done, it took <3 hours. When I'd tried going the "update" route a week or so earlier, after three hours the "backing up" progress bar had moved only microscopically. So this was, by far, preferable.
    My phone is fast--no problems with lagging or slowness that I've noticed. I love the folders--I went from 7 pages of apps to three. The consolidated email is handy, and the ipod app now lets you edit playlists from within the phone. My only complaint is battery performance--I hadn't been impressed with the 3G battery to begin with, and now I think it's been reduced even further. But I didn't have any of the problems I'd been reading about here for the last few weeks.
    I think Apple should do a better job of giving update instructions (not just "click update now") for older phones, rather than leaving it to user trial and error. But thanks to others' experience, my update was successful and I hope in turn to help someone else.

    I will post here, since this is a hot topic and I know people want help on this....I was successful with upgrading my 3G to 4.0 the first time out, got lucky I guess. I followed what was supposed to be the standard protocol and it took around 2 hours to complete without a hitch. However, I still noticed a significant lag in performance on opening most apps, iTunes, etc. I decided it was wasn't worth the few added features and after I was forced to downgrade my wife's 3G ( a brand new replacement phone one week old, since her camera had gone bad under the extended warranty - her's was crashing and hanging right and left after the 4.0 upgrade) I downgraded mine as well, and appreciate getting all the speed back. I did try the hard reset a few times, which did seem to help, but the speed is significantly better under the old 3.1.3 system from my experience.
    I did lose my text messaging history, as well as pics and phone messages, but had the pics backed up, could call to listen to my stored messages and have a me.com subscription for syncing email, etc. so in the end all I lost was my SMS history, along with setups for passwords, networking, etc.
    I will probably buy the new phone in a couple of months after it's stable, but I personally don't think the upgrade is worth the performance lag on a 3G. Who wants to stand around (or take your eyes off the road!) while waiting for a screen to load, so you can check messages, answer a call, etc.) Yes, I use a headset while driving, but still take calls when the road is clear, but the lag time was frustrating. Kind of like working on a Mac 20 years ago and waiting, waiting, waiting.....
    The sequence for downgrading mentioned elsewhere in these threads worked for me with the option key selection on the restore button, and the use of the 3rd party software (rec? something? sorry) to force quit the phone at the end of the restore. It's been posted several times. Sorry to hijack this post in a way, but you should know that, yes, the upgrade can be performed successfully, and it may not be worth the loss of performance, and, yes, you can successfully downgrade, but you will lose some personal info.

  • T400 type 2768, Internal Speakers do not work? Here's what I have tried.

    Hello all,
       I just spent hours reading all the problems people have had with their thinkpad internal speakers not working. I bought this computer, which is past the warranty date, and am trying to fix it myself. It originally had Vista installed, and was upgraded before I bought it to windows 7. Once I updated the driver for audio, the three audio buttons began to work, but not the speakers. The headphone jack does work, however? Here is what I have done to try to fix this based on what I read on past posts in this forum:
    updated windows, installed over 72 files
    updated lenovo drivers for windows 7, installed 132 files. Not all applicable.  Just covering my bases.
    rolled back bios to default setting
    uninstalled and reinstalled audio driver
    updated BIOS again
    installed new speakers.  Old ones looked fine. No melting, pinched wires, and the inside of the laptop looked fine.
    inserted headphones in and out several times to see if the audio is interupted by cutoff there. Sound was fine in headphones, but nothing happened.  No noise or static or anything.
       I read that this issue could be a motherboard problem? Every diagnostic I ran indicates that the sound is functioning normally. I need to know what to do next. I feel like I got took, but do really like the computer.
    Can anyone help? Thanks.

    If Eric's suggestion doesn't work, open System Preferences, go to "sound" and check to see of the mute button is not checked. Also check if the output name is "digital output" rather than "internal speakers" If it is, then it maybe it is the logic board, which it was in my case. However, it was covered under my warrenty. My sound problem came from a faulty logic board that was replaced in my computer for a "non boot" problem.
    Good luck

  • Here's what I need... so what should I get?

    OK all you experienced mini users, I waited until the intel release, and I'm ready to get my mini... only problem is, now that I've looked at all the options, I don't know which one to buy. So I'm opening it up to you all, hoping that you can advise me a little.
    Here's what I want to do with my mini:
    1. I don't play games, and I'm not looking to play them in the future.
    2. I use mail, safari/firefox, office, iLife, endnote, photoshop (rarely, and nothing too serious), etc.
    3. I've got most of my media (mp3s and video) on a large usb2 external drive. So internal HD doesn't have to be huge.
    4. I want to minimize the clutter on my desk, so airport is a must.
    5. I like the idea of the BT keyboard, but the reviews worry me a bit, and I think I'll end up with a mighty mouse.
    6. I'll use the mini for the next two or three years, and then it will become a mp3 server on my home network or perhaps a dedicated web server for my small personal website.
    7. I want a superdrive for backup and home movies.
    8. I might take advantage of an audio input to burn my LP collection, but this is a very minor concern.
    With that in mind, what do you think I should be looking for?
    -Dual core?
    -Single core upgraded with SD?
    -1.42/1.5 PPC?
    Right now, I'm sort of leaning towards the single core... for the price, even with the SD upgrade, I'm not convinced that I'd be significantly happier with the Core Duo.
    I currently use a pre-MDD G&W G4 Power Mac (~466, 512MB RAM) and a 15" G4 PB. The desktop is about shot, but I'll continue to use the PB on campus for the next year, until I upgrade to a macbook.
    I just want a small, reliable desktop mac that I can use in my home office for writing my thesis, reports, etc. and keeping my iLife media together.
    Thanks in advance for the advice.
    15" PB G4 550mhz, 512mb   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I would concur. But, I'd even push for the Core Solo, if price is a real issue for you.
    On the keyboard/mouse question, I use the Apple Wireless Keyboard and really like it. (It doesn't have the top plastic cover like other Apple keyboards, so you can really vacuum it out well.) If an ethernet cable is more clutter than you want, the extra cables for the keyboard and mouse will be significant. FWIW, I bought the BlueTake BT500 Bluetooth mouse. It's really tiny, and uses up batteries like they're going out of style (but I use rechargables), but otherwise, it's very nice and since it's so small it reduces wrist fatigue.

  • Erased Hard Drive and operating system accidentally via disk utility? Here's what to do

    I thought I had messed up majorly today when I attempted to erase and re-install an operating system on my friends macbook pro. I used another computer and targeted his computer so his hard drive would show up on my desktop. I then used disk utility and completely erased his hard drive. "Ooops" i thought after trying to then install Lion from my computer's applications folder. Wouldn't work. All his computer would show was a folder with a ? mark!!!
    I searched for a solution as to what to do in this situation and got a lot of conflicting complex suggestions. The one that made the most sense was to create a bootable external disk to reinstall the system. This didn't work for me, I was probably doing it wrong.
    HERE'S WHAT DID WORK FOR ME:
    (what you need)
    1) decent wireless internet connection (know the network and password)
    2) blank computer hard drive (no OS, no nothing)
    3) power cable
    thats it
    Step 1.
    Restart your computer and hold down "Command" and the "R" keys at the same time. do this for about 30 seconds or so and release
    Step 2.
    Your computer should, after a few seconds or so, show a spinning globe. Your computer will then start searching for an internet connection. Choose a network from the drop down menu and type in the password to the network.
    Step 3.
    Your computer will then connect with Apple.com's software site (I think this is called OSX Recovery or something [thus the holding down of the "R" for recovery key]) and find your computer's original operating system (not sure how far back this works, but it worked perfectly with Lion)
    Step 4.
    Download the OS
    Step 5.
    Upon download completion your computer may shut down. Just turn it back on and when its back up and running it will immediately start to install the OS it just downloaded.
    Step 6.
    Wait for this to complete and bam, you're back to having an operating system on your computer.
    I hope this works for anyone with my problem.
    Good luck!

    You will need to do the following:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • Errors With App Updates: Heres's what the "Apple Guy" said

    Ever since the app store opened and updates to applications became available I have never been able to get an update without jumping through hoops. Those hoops would be deleting the application from iTunes and the iPhone as well as deleting any files from the application from my computer. Then after all this I have to re-download the application from iTunes.
    I realize these apps don't have to be paid for again, but I find it very frustrating to have to go through this process just to get an update. My biggest issue is that I lose any and all data stored in that application because I had to delete it.
    After searching these forums and seeing multiple people with the same problem, and no solution, I figured I'd go to the source and just call Apple support for iPhone and here's what they said in a nutshell.
    Apple is totally aware that you can't get any updates without deleting the application. The guy was actually surprised when I told him that I have several updates per week. He said her personally only has 2 or 3 apps on his phone and he's never seen an update and thought maybe there was something wrong with my phone that I have so many updates. I told him I have about 30 apps and several of them have had several updates. This isn't a phone issue, it's an issue with iTunes being unable to load the new application without errors.
    The gist of it is that there is NO way to fix this at this time. Apple fully expects us to delete the entire application every time there's an update and they don't really care that we're losing all our data. I don't think Apple had any idea that there would be as many updates as there are and so were completely unprepared. He actually told me that they are just now "getting back on our feet" after the big crash on the 11th when the 3G came out and they're doing the best they can. I'm sure this is true, but updates to applications were expected so why was this not forseen?
    Disappointing!! Has anyone had any luck with updating applications without deleting everything first??? If so, how did you do it. I have tried since the middle of July with total failure. The Apple support guy was NO help so I'm turning to you guys!

    Aha - interesting. Up until a few days ago, I was 'happily' updating apps virtually every day (bar the unhappiness caused by how long it took and the fact it moved the app to a different page from where I'd carefully moved it previously). I had a crash during an app update at the end of last week, after which I had to do a recovery restore. Since then... I'm seeing no updates available on the phone, even when I know they're in the store.
    As of today I'd worked that could be because the App Store on the phone doesn't seem to know I've got most of my software installed, even though I clearly have (it marks only a few apps as 'Installed' on their page, whereas I've probably got 20-30). And now, checking iTunes, it's found updates for some apps, but not others. Who knows whether they'll be updated at the next sync...
    Bottom line seems to be that as of 2.0.2, there are some serious issues with this aspect of the iPhone experience... along with endless backups (which to me seemed associated partly with the most recent iTunes update)... I really hope that the next update straightens things out!

  • Here's What's New in 1.1.1

    Hello everyone,
    If you all wanted to know, here's what I found out about the new updater (3-23).
    (1) Volume Limiter (You can set the max volume---this is totally optional)
    (2) Much Faster scroll (In addition to the transition between menus being quicker, when you scroll through the songs, it is ALOT faster----this is great for those of you who have large music libraries...)
    (3) Video bug fixed (Although, I upgraded from 1.0 rather than 1.1, I noticed that my videos still played flawlessly---they were converted using Videora)
    I hope this helps. Let me know if anyone finds anymore with the update.

    and one other interesting note: before my 3-23 update to 1.1.1 I was able to use the good ol' menu button as a light on/off switch. now i can't. after reading through some support articles i found this one and it says: "With iPod models prior to Fifth Generation iPod and iPod nano, you can also press and hold the Menu button down to toggle the backlight on or off." I have a 1st, 3rd and 5th gen iPods and all, up until the new 1.1.1 update, have let me use the menu button as a light controller. BRING IT BACK!!!!!!
    and my iPod used to also automatically turn on the backlight when i would start a video; assuming i had the light on and shut it off with menu. i don't know if i had a random iPod that did this stuff but i sure did like it.

  • I am going crazy here! What do I do?

    I have installed iTunes many times and every time I tried to run the program, I get a window that reads...
    "the folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created and is required. The default location is inside the "My Music" folder"
    I have even gone as far as to create a subfolder in the My Music folder and I am still coming up empty here.
    What am I doing wrong and what do I do to fix it? Everyone's help is greatly appreciated!
