How do I shut the damn thing off?

I can not load an update of Adobe until I close Firefox. How do I do this?

Ya the Off/sleep thing is how it works. When you hold down the Play button the iPod screen shuts off but the iPod is just sleeping. If you leave it off long enough it will eventually go into a more OFF state and next time you turn it on you will see the apple screen boot up.
Also, if the iPod is not playing and you don't touch it, it should turn itself off (well that sleep mode) in a couple minutes. So you can either leave it and let it turn off or push and hold the play button to force it to sleep. In either case, get in the habit of moving the hold switch (on top) to the hold position so it doesn't get accidentally turned back on in your pocket, a breifcase, etc.
Sorry, I don't listen to audio books, so can not help you on that one.

How do I turn the dern thing off??

Forgive my ignorance; I'm older than you are but newer to this technology stuff. I have a 5G iPod, and I know the manual said hold down the play/pause button space on the wheel to turn it off, but it doesn't seem to shut down; it just goes dark, then, when I press the "play" button, it lights up immediately where it left off. No apple, no boot up (or whatever you call it); just instant on. Am I missing something? I want to shut the thing down.
Also, while we're at it, there's a menu item on the iPod for audio books, but when I download an audio book (not from iTunes) or load one from a CD, it only appears under "music" in the iPod. How can I separate audiobooks out so that, if I want to play music continuously, I'm not interrupted by a lecture?
Thanks.

After making a call I put my phone in my pocket and when I bring it out to make a call the player is on killing battery life. How can I shut the player off or prevent this from happening?

Try to position your iphone that the screen is facing away from your skin.
Make sure that the back part of your phone will be the one that will contact your skin inside your pocket
Thats what i do:)

If you mean the flash that Photo Booth delivers, see Photo Booth Help. If Help is not working:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=PhotoBooth/3.0/en/18454.html
To turn off the countdown or flash:
• To turn off the countdown, press the Option key while clicking the Shutter button.
• To turn off the flash, press the Shift key while clicking the Shutter button.
• To turn off both the countdown and flash, press Option-Shift while clicking the Shutter button.
it makes the photos look so washed out,.
If you find that you need to keep the flash because NO flash is too dark, adding LOTS more room light while using the flash will help the make the picture not look so overexposed. If STILL too bright, moving a few inches farther away from the screen should also help a bit.

What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

If your phone is broken how do you get the apple id off that phone?

if your iphone is broken how do you get the apple id off of it?

You can either,
A: Go to iForgot.apple.com and reset the passcode using the password system there, or by going to appleid.apple.com
or
B: IF possible restore the device to factory settings via iTunes.
What's the xtent of the damage and the reason you need to do it?
IF it's for iMessage as "Chief501" you will have to go with Option A or just wait till it falls off itself.

How to find out the common things between two rpds?

How to find out the common things between two rpds? And place the common things in a common RPD.

I thought of one solution.
Original RPD = A
Modified RPD = B
XML Patch created for A-B = X
Now open the XML Patch in IE or Mozilla and delete the columns/tables/variable/etc,. from the Original RPD A.
But its a cumbersome process, if the XML file is of very less size its Ok. If its 10-20 MB then going line by line and deleting the change is not the process to be followed.
I have to check whether its just the delete or modify or drop.
Let me know your thoughts.

I have a lot of HD video on my hard drive that I eventually want to edit in iMovie, but just don't have the time now. It is clogging up the computer, though. How do I take the Hd clips off Mac for later editing?

I have a lot of HD video on my hard drive that I eventually want to edit in iMovie, but just don't have the time now. It is clogging up the computer, though. How do I take the Hd clips off Mac for later editing?

See "Storage drive" here
Most commonly used backup methods
Th problem with HD video is it needs a fast external interface, so you should pick a external drive that uses the fastest interface your computer has to offer.
Performance rank fastest to slowest is
Thunderbolt, USB3, (newer Mac's)
Firewire 800, USB 2, Firewire 400, USB 1 (older Mac's)
Newer Windows PC's have USB3, older one's USB 2,1.
You need to format the drive if it comes FAT which a lot do, as FAT has a 4GB file size limit, so this won't work with large HD video files.
So if your going to use the drive only with a Mac, then head to Utlities > Disk Utility and format it Options: GUID Format: OS X Extended Journaled. (select the drive makers name and click Partition tab)
If your going to use the external drive with a PC, take it to the oldest PC you have and right click and format exFAT.
If you have a Windows XP machine and there is no exFAT, it can be downloaded for free from Microsoft.

How do I get the back cover off?

Hey guys I just bough a new GE70 2PE Apache Pro (Ge70 2PE-010US to be precise) and I want to add an SSD to it. How do I get the back cover off so I can open it up?

Quote from: TheSarge;102473
I figured it out. What was stumping me is that there's a screw under the god dam "Warranty Sticker."
By the way, I am not happy that MSI made the retarded decision to replace the Windows Context Menu keyboard key with a second "\" key and move it next to the space bar. There's already a "\" key on the keyboard, MSI; Why the hell would I want two of them? Any idea how to rectify this idiocy?
I've never really use this Windows Context Menu key.. so this never bothers me.
but think you can ask why they have this design, I don't really notice it until you bring it up.
I remember they have a online system.

HT4993 How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S

How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S?

Go to Settings-Sounds-Text Tone and change to None. You're referring to the sound when posting a message to someone else, correct? The only issue is if you set to none, you will not hear the incoming either.

How do I see the specific things that take up space on my mac?

How do I see the specific things that take up space on my mac? Because I want more specific than what I get if I click on the apple and storage.

There is also another way to do this using spotlight. Lets say you want to know what is in other. You go to spotlight and type in other,then click show all. It will open a window showing what is other and when clicked on it will ,down at the bottom show the file path for anything in other that you click on.

How do I shut the damn thing off?
