How do I make my radio play a variety like the playlist it's based from?

I have one main playlist that is my go-to playlist. I have about two hundred songs in this playlist right now, and until two days ago, the radio station that I started from this playlist has played a far-reaching and eclectic mix (just like the playlist) of songs. Over the past couple of day, whenever I go to either the radio section where the radio station is OR start a radio station from that playlist it's playing the same 5-6 bands over and over again. There are around 120-130 artists in the playlist that the created radio station's music is being drawn from, and I am LITERALLY getting The Pixies, Sonic Youth, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Velvet Underground, the Smiths, and the White Stripes rotating, with a random other artist playing every half hour or so. Now, don't get me wrong, I love half of those groups (no matter how many Smiths songs I 'thumbs down', you won't stop playing them), but there are 120 OTHER artists in this playlist, almost all of which are under Spotify's umbrella of available music. I have found a bit of a workaround by just creating a new playlist with all of the same music, but I will be using that playlist from now on, so the people who have subscribed to the original playlist will no longer be updated when I add new songs. I don't have the time to (and more importantly and obviously, shouldn't have to) inform all of these people of these issues that are being created. How can I continue to use the same playlist and have the radio station go back to playing selections based on the entire catalog of the playlist?

I feel your pain on this one, I have to do the same thing as you.
I keep an updated overall playlist but anytime I want to start a radio station I duplicate it and use the new playlist as it appears to give better results.
I'm not aware of any solution or way to "reset" the radio station unfortunately.

How do I make my old user account perform like the new one?

I have a macbook pro 13" 2008 with 8 gb of ram that has been showing stuttering in hd video lately (or maybe when i upgraded to lion). I created another user and it doesn't seem to suffer any stuttering. Perhaps it doesn't have weird things running the background like the 655mb kernal task I see in activity monitor. My question is, how do I make my old user account perform like the new one? I've tried to turn off things running the background, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks!

How do I make a dvd in iDVD out of the audio and video files from Compressor 4?

I created two video files in fcpx and compressed them using the dvd source in compressor 4 which ended me up with a set of a separate video and separate audio file for each video. I want to take these files into iDVD and create one movie file with these two videos. How do I reconnect the separated video and audio files in iDVD? Thanks!

tell me what software they used to achieve this.
iDVD.
Apple sells iDVD on disk as part of iLife 11.
Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U
IDVD remains a popular application in the Apple community. For a variety of obvious reasons Apple would prefer your movies to be stored on the cloud. Many people however prefer to have a physical copy, that they can possess, that is easily playable on over 700 million DVD players worldwide.

Why is the background of the navigation bar on firefox 4 grey? How do i make it have a clear background like the rest of the toolbars?

okay i downloaded firefox 4 and all was good, but today and yesterday the naviagation toolbar (you know the one with the search engine home forward and back buttons) has a grey background, the buttons arent grey but the background is and it's driving me crazy

Formatting options on the forum is showing '''''BTTF's''''' suggestion incorrectly. It should be
#nav-bar{background:rgba(255,0,0,0.5) !important; }
I have not tested this solution, so I can not vouch that it works.

How can I make music (mp3) play automatically in one Scene (NO buttons)?

How can I make an mp3 play automatically in one Scene (NO buttons)? I have been searching the net for answers for over 10 hours with no answer... My movie will not be for the web, it needs to be portable (CD or flash drive)...
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
thank you!

You just need to look in Help for the Sound class and possibly SoundChannel... if you have an MP3 in your library - right click it, and go to properties. Set the sound to export for ActionScript - and give it a class name - mySound will work. Then you can make it play with something as simple as:
var a:SoundChannel = new mySound().play();

My iPad has to be really really close to the router for it to have internet. How can I make it so I can go around the house with it?

My iPad has to be really really close to the router for it to have internet. How can I make it so I can go around the house with it? My iPad has been like this for a couple of months, and it has really irritated me. My friend came over and he had to download iTunes for something on the computer. He needed my iPad, he tried it and it wasn't really near the router.

I'd begin by reviewing the following:

Numbers will do the calculations, but it doesn't read minds.
The formulas shown in my previous post assume a table arranged like the example below:
The results in the bottom three rows (Apr, May and Jun) are correct for the simple formulas given and for the data entered in the Amount column as the empty cells are evaluated as containing zero. In practice, you would want a formula that suppressed the calculation until something was entered in that row of the Amount column. That's easy enough to add, should you think doing so will be useful.
But it won't make Numbers read your mind.

When is the ipod touch going to have a radio built into it, like the new ipod nano

I was wondering when the ipod touch will come out and have radio inbuilt into it like the new ipod nano. I used to have an ipod touch, lost it and got the nano and one of the best things about the nano was the FM radio! So I decided that I wouldn't buy an ipod touch until it had a radio because I listen to the radio more than my music... So I wanted to know how lond I would have to wait.

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

Want Thunderbird look (theme) from 2.0.0.4. Where is it and if not, please make it. I don't like the newer theme

1. Want Thunderbird look (theme) from 2.0.0.24 Where is it and if not, please make it. I don't like the newer theme.
2. When these newer Thunderbirds set up they do not, unless one knows about software, leave the choice of erasing email from the carriers site. Please fix so that with the automatic NON POP setup the option page lets you not save emails on the carrier's (outside computer). FIX THIS. The automatic setup should also offer POP. FIX THIS TOO

1. Tools menu (ALT+T) > Add-ons > get add-ons and scroll to the bottom and look on the bottom right for complete thems
2. The default is IMAP. If you want something else specify it to the wizard. Where the wizard is aware of both POP and IMAP you are offered a choice, but nothing stops you from manually specifying the account setting.
2a. Nothing will see the return of mail being removed from the server on download by default. To many expect their mail to stay on the server forever as a defacto backup. Rightly or wrongly the default was changed because people like me could no longer put up with the whining of people who were not happy their mail moved off the server.
