Holster for Droid X while working out

After a two-month hiatus, I'm getting back to my running and work out programs...it's been too cold. I went on a run this afternoon and took my Droid X with me for Pandora. Does anyone know of a good waterproof/sweatproof holster? Maybe something like those armband types? Or something to clip on to my pants?
Or is it probably a stupid idea to take this expensive device while running around town?

Hey, Loyd.
Check out the Otterbox Defender line of cases. FIrst, it fits an X with the extended battery cover, which we all know was a hit with me... While it doesn't appear to be absolutely waterproof, it seems pretty close. and as I said before, it's not like building a Sherman tank around the phone, as some iPhone Otterboxes. It's actually fairly svelt for such a protective case. But as for a hollster or armaband, I don't know. You might find somehing in an online sports supply place.

Thanks Geri O! I took a look online at some supposedly waterproof/sweatproof, and some of them look like a zip top plastic bag...hmmmm...which gives me an idea...texting in the shower!
Seriously, does anyone take their Droid X along while working out or running? And keep in mind, it can get really hot and humid here, and I'm a sweater...well, not like a cardigan sweater, but like a ... well, you know what I mean.

I iPod touch too big to use while working out?

I have an iPhone 6 plus, Is it ok if i buy iPod touch to use while working out? or will it be too big? or should i buy shuffle? Nano isn't an option because i don't use nike or radio. I'm confused. help?

Thats what I thought, but my mind doesn't go away from touch as it has wifi usability! I can use that at gym! And also if i feel to use the apps while i put aside my 6+ for some time as it is large, I thought of iPod touch again! OMG I'm still confused.crazy apple!

I own an iMac and a Macbook Air and I have iWorks on my iMac. Can I copy it to my Air so that I can use it while working out-of-town? It would not be used on both computers simultaneously.

It depends on how you bought iWork (no 's').
If you bought a single-user retail box or license from the trial, no, you cannot legally install it on another Mac.
If you bought a family pack retail box or licesnce, you can install on up to five Macs in your household.
If you bought it from the Mac App Store, you can install the apps on as many Macs that you have by opening the Mac App Store & clicking on Purchases. Enter your Apple ID & click install.

Be sure to give as much detail as possible.
I would also check LG's site.

Best headphones for working out? Shure E2C or Bose In ear TriPort?

I want some good headphones for my Nano (2nd gen) while I'm working out (jogging).
My wife gave me the Bose In Ear TriPort for Xmas, and while the sound is very good, the right tends to "loosen up" easily. I can return within 30 days, hence I need opinions on other headphones for working out.
I have read positive reports on the Shure E2C and the Sennheiser MX 70.
Does anybody have any experience using these headphones during workouts? I am looking for great sound but more importantly, a set of in ear phones that stay secure while working out. I do not want heavy bass either.
All opinions are appreciated.
Thanks

I have the E2c and they are great. The only caveat I have are the sleeves. It comes with 3 types, flex, soft flex, and foam. They all come in 3 sizes also. The best fit that works for me are the foam. They stay in your ear and provide excellent isolation.
Here is the site to read about them.

Best "work-out" case for the Zen Vision

I received a ZV:M about a week ago, and I'm mainly going to be using it'swhile working out at the gym. I've read that the case Creative makes is the best to get, but is there a thing on the back to hold an arm band Is there a better case to use while working out? Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

I have the DLO Action Jacket for my ZVM.
Good protection, and comes with a belt clip and an arm band. WARNING - It will scuff up the black plastic face of your ZVM (for that matter, so will most cases...the ZVM's plastic is notoriously fragile....) - so if that's a concern to you, invest in a Best-Skin-Ever or equivalent. I'm not crazy about the case...it's a bit of a dust magnet...but I was thankful it was on the other day when my ZVM slipped from my hand...rolled down 5 stairs and on to a concrete floor. It survi'ved without any damage. Another word of warning...be extremely careful if you're using your ZVM, or any hard-dri've based player, while working out. The jarring of repeated high-impact exercise (like jogging) is not good for the hard dri've and can cause damage. For that sort of thing, I'd recommend investing in a cheap flash-based player.

Help Please - on a VC that works out of the box with MAC before I sellup

I have to declare that I’m somewhat frustrated at the moment and I could do with some good advise please bare with me while I explain.
I have recently converted from all types of PC systems and MS OS to Apple. The conversion was based on a few drivers.
1, My wife finally has decided to “learn” how to do her own web work instead of asking me to look up this or that for her. So as she was starting from scratch I thought MAC.
2, At the same time I had a play with Vista at work and disliked it. I was using XP & W2K at the time.
3, I wanted to update my home hardware, which was 3 years old.
4, The accountant said I hadn’t spent enough on IT last year.
5, New project work in the planning that required video/audio work to upload onto the web and everyone said MAC was the best.
So having looked around and done what I thought was enough research I started investing. To date I’ve invested £4500 plus.
Started by buying
iMAC 24” 2.8 Gz Intel with 4GB ram (for the home office)
MacBook Pro 2.4 with 4GB ram (for out and about working)
iPHONE 16GB (which is great)
VMware Fusion was installed for those things that I couldn’t live without until I found a suitable replacement like MS Money, Paint Shop Pro, MS Office etc. Installed XP.
Tried Open Office found it to clunky and hard work working off files for MS Office that others sent/required. Ended up buying Office 2008 only to find VB macros don’t work in Excel and all my company spreadsheets still need PC MS Excel to run so back into XP via Fusion.
Then to MAIL which is great on the iPHONE as I can easily monitor my 5 email accounts, what a result. But now I come to attach JPG files as I would in outlook and they open into the content of text in the mail and will not stay closed but disrupt the message. Wholly unacceptable to my way of working with no cure.
Scanning next, so I down loaded GIMP to replace PSP which I find useless so back to PSP I go again via XP & Fusion.
Next and finally the VC project, Now please bare in mind that all I want to do is shoot film, upload it to edit it and then mount it on the web page. I have no desire to become any form of expert in the field just get the job done.
So reviewed iMovie to understand the spec. Realise it has limitation and reviewed FCE which seems to plug the gaps and boarders on being more professional.
At this point I must say I’m not totally new to this subject as I have used Studio8 and a JVC GR-DVL166EK video cam a couple of years ago and got on ok without any issues simple plug and play with great results.
Having reviewed the standards that the software is reported to work too without any publicly declared exclusions or exceptions by Apple I went shopping for the VC. (I didn’t know of the forum at the time and to the best of my knowledge Apple don’t advise of its existence in any product information on anything I have bought.)
I buy a Panasonic HDC-HS9 for £700 which doesn’t flaming work despite the fact that it should based on all the standards quoted by both manufactures and there are no disclaimers from either party that it won’t work.
I have reviewed the compatibility list on the support page (now I know its there) and find that the Panasonic HDC-SD5 does work. I reviewed the comprehensive detailed model spec on the Panasonic web site and there is no differences between the to models at all accept the HDD.
So why don’t it work?
*At the end of the day can anyone please recommend a VC that will produce high quality results without the need of a 3rd party software to connect and upload files convert and muck about instead of getting on with the job.*
And if all the publicised specs don’t allow you to conclude compatibility how can you protect your investment? Where do we legally stand and where is the accountability to the consumer.
<edited by host>
I am that fed up with the last 3 months of mucking about Bill Gat*es may just get me back.
Thanking anyone in anticipation for some meaning advise and help.
Regards
Alan

Hi, and thanks for you interest. The problems is that whether I'm using iMovie or FCE I get to a stage where the thumbnail image is present but if you try to play, import or any other action in either app it closes down and a message comes up " The Application Final Cut Express/iMovie quit unexpectedly - Mac OS X and other application are not affected" then asks if I wish to relaunch. I then hit the report to Apple button and afterwards relaunch. I was recommended to use Voltaic which I have tried, it worked but is to much mucking about for something that should work out of the box.
This problem happens on both the iMAC and the MacBook so quite sure it's not a OS software issue. All software update are up to date also.
Any ideas?

WORKING OUT W/ NANO??

I have a 15 gig IPod I use on a regular basis. Before I purchase the Nano I would like to know personal experiences of anyone who uses the Nano while working out. My concern is the Arm Band. I am not Arnold by any means. However, I understand for males w/ any bicep size the arm band won't work. Are there any third party arm bands available now? Thanks

James,
another armband to think of is the one that comes with Otterbox's enclosures. They sell an arm band accessory to attach to their enclosures. I suspect (but don't know for sure) that the existing arm band (for iPod & mini enclosures) will work for the nano enclosure.
caveat: the Otterbox nano enclosure is supposed to be available in December, which might be a long time to wait.
Otterbox makes waterproof (to 3 feet) enclosures that allow full access to all iPod buttons, except the hold switch. They are a little bulky but rugged. Great advantage is you can jog in the rain, or in sea spray and not worry about your iPod corroding of shorting out. Will certainly protect from a drenching of sweat if you really flow during a workout

Which Linux Distro Works Out of the Box With the iMac late 2009 (11,1)?

Hi. I use all 3 OSes because the other two OSes have tool and games that are not yet in OS X; best of both worlds. Win 8 on Bootcamp is nice for games and utilities but I'm installing Linux too on a separate external drive. I've tried a lot of Linux distros but they all have the bug that prevents ths iMac 4850 mobility GPU to work (you need a second monitor to solve it which I don't have the space for and I only use Linux every so often) but have you tried a Linux distro Live CD/DVD that works flawless on this Mac without editing commands in Linux's GRUB console on Linux bootup?
If there's no distro that works out of the box, what's the closest distro that may only need a few adjustments on its boot menu (GUI preferably not console commands).
But if there's a distro, what's the distro name and exact version (link to download it too if it's alright with you)?
Thank you in advance.
God bless.

I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. Is my info safe??

I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. I only got this number about a month ago. Apparently someone else had the number before because I get texts from his family members wondering whats going on. I got one yesterday and the person didn't seem to thrilled that the number was cutoff and today I got 2 texts about iCloud Keychain which I don't even know what it is. Seems suspicious to me. If the person who use to own the number is doing it he should know it is not his number anymore because he obviously didn't pay his bills. I'm not too sure about iCloud Keychain so just want to know my info safe?? It says it can store credit card numbers which is what gets me worried. Frankly I think it's pretty stupid to save that kind if information with any kind of app. But I don't want some random person trying to access my personal information because they are bitter they lost their number. Please let me know as soon as possible so I can change passwords or anything that is needed.
thanks

If it were me, I would go to my carrier and get a new number. Since you have only had it for a month, the inconvenience would be minimal.

I am having consistant problems w/ my mb pro freezing for 20-60 seconds while working in different programs and apps. i've upgraded my RAM to 8gigs and deleted over 60 gig of pics and videos to try to help, but nothing seems to work.

I've now been having this problem for months. It just freezes up and either shows me the dumb color wheel or doesn't show me anything sometimes and i just cant do anything for about 20-60 seconds. i can't exposae or anything. Also while working on a power point presentation it froze 4 different times for good and i had to do a hard restart just to get it working again. i lost my work and had to keep starting over. it was so annoying. it seems most of the time it does it, it is while i'm in Excel, Outlook, or Powerpoint. so perhaps it has something to do with my microsoft office. but i have the newest version and all the updates and everything. and i believe its happened when doing other tasks too. So i just can't figure it out.
A few Mac friends suggested i free up some space on my hard drive and upgrade my RAM. So i did. i put all my videos and photos on an external harddrive and deleted them all on my computer. i also upgraded to 8 gigs of RAM.
And honestly i can't even tell a difference after doing both of these.
HELP! PLEASE HELP! I'M ABOUT TO GO CRAZY. And having all the non Mac believers telling me it cause i have a Mac even drives me more nuts..
Jason

Any of this help?
it froze a few times over the last hour and half while browsing the internet.
and also while working in excel it all of the sudden shut down excel and said. "Excel has encountered and problem and needs to shut down, you may lose the work you were on." or something like that. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME TOO. Excel, outlook and powerpoint frequently just shut down on me out of now where. I've bolded and underlined when this happened.

Exception while working with Tibco adapter for Tuxedo!!

Dear friends,:-)
Greetings!
I am facing an exception while working with "Tuxedo Adapter".
I have installed TIBCO Adapter for Tuxedo on my machine which has both bea_Client and Server. I am trying to do a PurchaseOrder POC, which is already given in our TIBCO Adapter directory (C:\TIBCO\adapter\adtuxedo\5.3\examples\AgentBased\PurchaseOrder).
The scenario goes like this, a request is sent from the Tuxedo client called clt, which invokes the Tuxedo service, which in turn sends a request to the adapter (“PublicationService”) through the adapter agent, and then the adapter publishes the data to the TIBCO environment. TIBCO BW receives the data using “Adapter Subscriber” and writes them to an XML output file named Get_output.xml.
Problem in starting the Adapter - :(
When I tried to RUN the make.bat which is placed at the “C:\TIBCO\adapter\adtuxedo\5.3\examples\AgentBased\PurchaseOrder” folder, it throws me the error.
At the time of executing this script, “buildclient -o clt -f client.c”, it says that I don’t have a valid “TUXEDO SDK LICENSE”. The thrown exception is, "TUXNT_CAT:101: ERROR: You do not have a valid TUXEDO SDK license".
Please tell me, is license Required to run the tux_client?
also,please clarify, while configuring “tibco.env.WSNADDR”(i.e., Workstation Address of the Tuxedo server to connect to) I have given my machine IP ADDRESS with a unique port. i.e., //10.103.18.120:4020. I am not sure with this step. Please advice me!
It would be great if you could please solve this issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Best Regards,
Venkatesh Rajendran.

Hi Venkatesh,
Please see comments in line.

Dear Wayne,
Thanks a ton for your reply.
Please clarify,
buildclient is a Tuxedo command which is used to generate the Tuxedo client
application. It needs Tuxedo SDK license, so you need to make sure the
license is installed properly.
Can you please let me know from where i can get the License? Can we download
it online?
[W] BEA provide a trial license in the product donwload site, but I am not
sure Tuxedo 8.0 is provide or not. If you or your customer has Tuxedo
installation, the license should alread be ready. It is located at
$TUXDIR/udataobj/lic.txt.
Running tuxedo client does not require SDK license.
I am not sure how to start it. I am actually running the BAT file which has
the following scripts,
set TUXDIR=C:\bea\tuxedo8.0
set WSNADDR=//10.103.18.120:4020
set TUX_ADAPTER_HOME=C:\TIBCO\adapter\adtuxedo\5.3
set TIBCO_RV_HOME=C:\TIBCO\TIBRV
set APPDIR=%TUX_ADAPTER_HOME%\examples\AgentBased\PurchaseOrder
set
PATH=%TUXDIR%\bin;%APPDIR%;%PATH%;%TUX_ADAPTER_HOME%\hotfix\lib;%TUX_ADAPTER_HOME%\lib;%TIBCO_RV_HOME%/bin
set TUXCONFIG=%APPDIR%\tuxconfig
set ULOGPFX=%APPDIR%\ulog
buildclient -o clt -f client.c
buildserver -o server -f server.c -s POINFO -l
%TUX_ADAPTER_HOME%\lib\agent.lib
tmloadcf -y ubbagent
tmboot ¨Cy
Up to my knowledge, I hope TIBCO TUXEDO
(ie.,TIB_adtuxedo-simple_5.3.0_w32_tuxedo80) acts as a TUXEDO_Server which
receives the Request from TUX_BEA Client(Ex: C:\bea\tuxedo8.0).
Or, does Tuxedo have a seperate Server installed on the machine other than
TIBCO? please clarify.
[W] I don't know the detail about TIBCO Tuxedo adaptor. Following
clarifications for your reference,
1. Tuxedo is an application infrastructure with framework for server and
client. buildclient is used to generate the client binary and buildserver is
used for application server linkage.
2. I guess the TIBCO Tuxedo adaptor is a Tuxedo application client(or
server?) which acts as a proxy process between TIBCO system and Tuxedo
applications. So it receives request from TIBCO system and transform the
requet to native Tuxedo data buffers and make the Tuxedo calls, then relay
the reply back. So first you have to figure out the exact working model of
it and check your Tuxedo applications.
Your reply would be appreciated!
Thanks a ton in Advance!

Best headphones for working out?

I just got my first ipod (5G) so I am not familiar with what headphones create the best sound for it...I will mainly be using it while I work out so I won't want to use big 'ole "earmuffs"...any suggestions?

I've tried many, many different kinds of phones with my iPods over the last 2 years. I own several isolater-style phones from SHURE , ER, and Sony and they sound superb but for working out isolaters reflect too much of my breathing sounds. They also feel mushy in your ear after you start to perspire.. Unless your club has really loud music to tune out, I'd avoid isolator-types, and if you do, pick the soft plastic tips over the foam ones!
Believe it or not, the best listening experience I've found for working out is the Koss KSC-75 Sport Clip-On Headphones.
These clip on to your ears but they are completely comfortable- unlike every other clip-on type I've ever tried.
They currently retail for $13 at some retail websites, and the sound is tremendous. I enjoy listening to music on these more than even my isolators. They are that comfortable and great-sounding.
heres a review on a website that does a good job of reviewing phones by usage categories.

I'd give them a try-

Hi, I've tried charging continuously for 72 hours. But to no avail. It just stopped working out of the blue! I had only used it for about 1 month!

Hi, I've tried charging continuously for 72 hours. But to no avail. It just stopped working out of the blue. Actually I believe I let the battery die off completely. When I tried charging it again, it never worked.
I had only used it for about 1 month.
I bought this in January at Best Buy, and still have the receipt. I was on long business trip and just got back. I can't get the 90 day customer service. How can I get this returned to Black Berry, they won't allow me to contact them without providing my credit card for incidence based service.
Please help! Thanks.

do any LED color happen when you plug it in?
if only RED, then pug in until red goes out, wait 6 seconds and plug in again.
repeat 3 times and wait to see if 5 green flashes while plugged in
after 5 flahes, leave it plugged in for 90 minutes and it should boot up. if not hold power button down for 20 seconds and try again.
You have 1 year warranty, choose option other when calling in and not phone support. This is confusing I know.

Imove shuts down for no reason while i'm working on my project. why could this be happening?

Imove states my project is out of date, and also shuts down for no reason while i'm working on my project why is this and what can i do to fix this please help!! working on a gift for my cousins wedding.

ok Rebis i think this appears to fix your problem , not sure though.. they say just to reinstall mac os X , back up your stuff and format the drive, reinstall the os. In my case , it just reboots by itself , no grey screen , nothing, keeps rebooting and rebooting sometimes. Ran apple hardware test, sry dont remember error # , but it said video controller error.
I hope Taylor posts again to see if his got fixed, cause it seems his problem and mine are really alike if not the same.
