  • When you can use Airplay without the need to connect to a wireless router?

    My question / request is, when you can use Airplay without the need to connect to a wireless router? Able to connect your iphone / ipod touch / ipad to your Apple TV directly without a wifi router, something like a "Airplay Direct"

  • The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I have!

    The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I just got!

    First off, I would STRONGLY suggest that a external hard drive would make you life much easier by at least being able to back up your songs on the external drive for when you need them. Even if you don't want them in the iTunes library, you can have them all ready on the external to be re-added as needed. You can get 100's of gigs for under $100 shipped.
    Anyway, since you used Yamipod, are all the songs back on the computer? If so, I would go ahead and restore the iPod, let iTunes then resync everything back to the iPod, then switch it back to manual and see if the restore and resync clears up the issue.

  • When i switch users internet becomes unresponsive, also started to hear the fan when just using normally

    Hi
    Had my macbook pro for nearly 9 months now and noticed a couple of odd things.
    1) When i switch from one user to another and i try to go onto the internet i get a page is unresponsive message.
    2) I've started to hear the fan when the computer is just doing normal activities like surfing the net etc
    I have googled and cant find anything similer, any ideas?

    4,000 RPM for idle load seems excessive, 2,000 is usually the norm.
    There could be various reasons for this:
    1: Dead sensor or fan, the other is compensating. - #3 Hardware Test needed.
    2: Need a SMC reset - #1 SMC Reset.
    3: You installed something that has a background process and hogging CPU cycles.
    Open Activity Monitor > All Processes and click on the CPU to sort the highest to the top and see if something unusual is hogging cycles.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Other possible reasons:
    5: You have done something to place excessive and sudden demand on the processors at one time, thus the software is trying to anticipate that and pre-emypt your behavior and run the fans at a higher speeds in advance.
    6: Your machine is in a excessively hot environment
    7: Your machine is in a excessively dusty or animal environment and the exhaust ports are clogged with animal hair/lint., will require cleaning by Apple if still under AppleCare/warranty.
    8: There is malware on your machine, or your third party software is no functioning correctly leaving processes running.
    9: OS X needs to be reinstall on the machine. #8 Reinstall Just OS X
    10: You have a corrupted cache file. #12 OnyX cache cleaning routine.
    11: You have a 13" MBP and have been trying to 3D game on it, didn't wait for it to cool down.

  • Letter to Lenovo. This is what happens when you can't live up to your own advertising!!!

    THIS IS A LETTER A WROTE TO LENOVO.
    HOW MUCH B.S. IS THIS HUGH!?
    READ AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK...
    THIS IS MY SECOND ATTEMPT TO REACH SOMEONE THAT IS LITERATE!!!!!!!!!!
    AN APOLOGY IS NOT GONNA PUT $825 BACK IN MY POCKET!
    IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN I WOULD HAVE HAD THIS MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY MACHINE, I WOULD NOT HAVE DECIDED ON LENOVO IN THE FIRST PLACE!
    I BASED MY DECISION UPON MANY HAVING MANY SUCCESSES WITH IBM/LENOVO MACHINES IN THE PAST!
    DEAR LENOVO!
    TO WHOM IT MAY -REALLY- CONCERN...
    I have long since been a fan of IBM computers and thus, when the label changed, I trusted Lenovo with the same respect. I am a junior college student at West Virginia University and wanted only the best machine which was both powerful and reliable... the T61 seemed to be my answer. In advertisements I viewed the computer being plunged underwater (and then turned on, no less), smashed into walls at death-defying speeds, and dropped from hundreds of feet . In my case a small amount of sprite, LESS THAN 50CC!!
    The laptop can survive a couple drops right? Being on a very small and tight student budget I tried to make the best of it and decided to be safe, left it alone for the day, and afterwords it worked perfectly for 5 months.  One day the laptop was in sleep mode, I turned it off manually by holding the power button, it turned off. After this, it never turned back on!
    I tried everything-  (static discharge, removal of components, new ac adapter, dust removal, hardware exchange)- it just croaked!
    Eventually, I sent the laptop in to be repaired (for what I was told would be FREE OF CHARGE) in your Texas repair facility only to be told that the laptop was NOT UNDER WARRANTY?! due to the water damage and that the laptop that I PAID $825 for was GOING TO COST ME OVER $900 TO FIX!
    THERE WAS ONLY A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF LIQUID SPILLED ON THIS COMPUTER, I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS THE LIQUID THAT DESTROYED THE LAPTOP! 
    THERE HAVE BEEN KNOWN POWER SUPPLY ISSUES WITH THE MODEL T61, SO MUCH SO THAT IT COULD BE CALLED A DEFECT. THIS LAPTOP IS NOT WATER DAMAGED, IT IS DEFECTIVE!
    THIS LAPTOP IS ALREADY OUTDATED by many standards on the market today AND IS NO LONGER EVEN SOLD OR ADVERTISED ON YOUR COMPANY WEBSITE!
    Could it be TOO MUCH to ask for just a simple motherboard swap? I'm sure they've got to be sitting lifeless and stockpiled somewhere...
    As advertised, this laptop DID NOT live up to it's name, I am completely dissatisfied, and now I'm out the $825 I paid for the machine.
    If there are any powers-that-be remaining in this world today, please let them come over you! I NEED A LAPTOP FOR SCHOOL!
    Thank you for your time and CONSIDERATION!

    you can't believe all the marketing ads that you see on tv... this is more of a marketing ethics.
    Thing with your sugar in the lemonade, is that corrodes the electrical components slowly, especially if there is only small amount being spilled.
    Regarding those commercials i think these are just some over-exaggerated marketing campaign, just like car commercials, some of which shows that toddler can drive it.

  • HT4527 What happens when you can't authorize anymore computers?

    I have authorized 4 computers at this point for my itunes data due to computers breaking and I wanted to know what happens when you cant authorize anymore computers. How would you get everything you bought?

    Then you need to de-authorize some computers or get another Apple ID. If you no longer have some computers that are still authorized:
    About De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
    Open iTunes on a computer
    From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
    Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
    Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    Also, see iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.

  • What do you do when you can't connect to the internet and you get this message XUl Runner after you click on the icon to open Mozilla? Then it says error platform'1.9.2.16 is not campatible wwith minVersion =1.9.2.17 maxVersion 1.9.2.17

    I can't get the internet to open and when you click on the icon to open firefox the above message is displayed and I don't know how to fix what is causing the error.

    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • What do when you can't install on an E7

    I recently noticed that my WhatsApp was outdated and did not work and tried to reinstall it only to get "unable to install" from my phone. So I tried to remove it and install it from ovi store agian but to the same result.
    Then I opened my nokia suite on my computer and tried from there to no success. But then I noticed that the suite did not want to sync up with the phone. So i updated the suite and when I try to access the apps it says "the contents of the currently selected phone model cannot be shown by this application".
    I also noticed that in ovi store it suggests that i update some games that i have removed.
    what should I do?

    Always reluctant to advocate "hard reset" upon Symbian S^3 device, but really depends upon how important this issue is to you.

  • What happens when you take your iPod into the apple store for battery replacement?

    I am taking mine in tomorrow. How do they decide if your battery is bad enough to get the iPod/battery replaced? What do they do with your iPod? Do they mess with the apps and data?? Do they search your history to see what you've done on it? HELP!

    By reading the following, Apple exchanges your iPod for a refurbished (includes new battery) iPod. Data is no preserved/restore to the replacement
    Apple - Support - iPod - Service FAQ
    Will the data on my iPod be preserved?
    No. You will receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data, songs, or after-market personalizations. Before you submit your iPod for service, it is your responsibility to keep a separate backup copy of the data stored on your iPod and reinstall that data.
    Attention iPod touch customers: Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPod touch and does not offer any data transfer service.
    Following service your replacement iPod touch may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need to restore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check iTunes to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.
    However, I have heard in this forum that sometimes Apple will just replace the battery.
    If you are concerned I would do one fine sync/backup and then go to Settings>General>Reset>Ease aall content and settings.
