I just want to share my story
I have an iPod Touch 1st generation with a "Paulfrank"
rubberize cover until 2 weeks ago.(a long story BUT AMAZING)
I was driving from Dufferin to McCowan by 407 in the rain atat lease 130km (I know I am speeding).
Then go south towards Kingston Road.After I drop off my mom, i have to drive to Yonge and Ellington to work,
After work,I drove back to Midland and Kingston Road.
On the way there, someone horned and he told me through his car's window,
"YOU HAVE A CELL PHONE ON YOUR BUMPER!!!!"
Oh no! is my ipodtouch that i cannot find since the daybefore!!!!!
It STAY on my bumper after all these driving, I give the credit to the rubberize cover.
I highly recommended these type of cover to protect your ipod touch.
They are rubberize soft cover and with the pattern pop up .
I would say its more on your bumper. I drove around for a week with a sock on my back bumper.....

Not rally a question, just wanted to share my absolute frustration with the update of iTunes...this is, without a shadow of a doubt THE WORST application i have EVER used, Mac or PC! And that's saying something with the amount of PC dross that's out there...Apple...PLEASE update and give us back the old version of iTunes...
Pull down View > Show Sidebar. This will give you back the same functionality of iTunes 10.x.x.

I'm upgrading because we need an application that only runs on the server.
But I just want to share files and we're all friends so when I create a document someone else should be able to modify it and not get a message that it's read-only. I made the user account and I made a group. I put all the users in the same group but I still not able to collaborate.
Multi-user for multi security, but we just want to get work done!You need to add an Access Control List (ACL) entry to the share point on which your group needs read & write access:
1. Enable ACLs for the volume that houses the share point (shared folder): Click Sharing in Workgroup Manager, then click All. Locate the volume and check "enable access controls on volume," then click Apply.
2. Click Share Points and select the desired share point. In the ACL list in the Access section, click the Users & Groups button and drag your group into the list. Choose "Read & Write" from the pop-up menu and verify that the inherit settings apply to all child files and folders as well as the parent (inherited will be no). Apply changes.
3. If you already have files or folders in the share point, mount that share point on a client computer and copy each file/folder off, delete it, then copy it back to the share point. This way, it will inherit the ACL information you set in step 2. From now on, new files created in the share point (or copied to it) will inherit the privileges set in step 2.

Just wanted to share with my fellow mac addicts
About two weeks after Apple made the intel switch, my wife surprised me with a shiny new imac core duo. I had been obsessing over one since I got my new 5g ipod a few months before. Making the switch to mac has been the best experience of my life as far a computing is concerned. The photos and videos of my 2 year old daughter are nothing short of amazing when combined with mac software. This has led to another 5g ipod and a shuffle. Yesterday we ordered a c2d black macbook to replace my wife's laptop pc. (The glowing apple on the matte black was easily worth the price difference). We are officially a mac family now. So excited I just had to share! Hope everyone else is having great experiences also. BTW: Have had no software, firmware, or ipod problems from day one. Everything has worked as designed. With all the problems posted on the forums (I know that is what they are for and everyone has been very helpful with my posts) I just thought it would be nice to see some positives for a change.
Thanks for that upbeat post, cjsiv.
I'm 100% with you on the PC>Mac switch.
I'm VERY happy I got my 24" iMac. (Just got it Oct. 30th.)
Yeah, it was 2 grand; yeah, I coulda paid a lot less on a powerful PC, but it would not have been as complete and satisfying of an experience as getting an iMac.
I laughed, I actually laughed when I got the iMac home, took it out of the box and found ONE cord to plug in! The power cord. I gleefully plugged that baby in. I was so used to connecting this to that to the other thing... with all the PC's I've built.
I use Logic Pro now as my main app - making music. It is SO rock solid. I can't tell you have many issues I've had on a PC - compatibility issues, playback glitches and hiccups, etc. I still have this leftover anxious habit of saving my work at every turn for fear the app will crash and I'll lose all my editing. Running Logic on this iMac is slowly rebuilding my feeling of confidence in making my music on a computer.
For me, just like you, I can say about my Mac conversion 'Everything has worked as designed.'

Help! Just want to share DSL between new iMac & existing Windows laptop
I have existing laptop running on Windows XP, connected to a DSL modem via ethernet cable. The modem also has an additional USB slot.
I want to access the Internet from my new iMac G5, using the same DSL line, but not share anything (files, printer, etc) with the laptop (in other words, I have no desire to "network" with the laptop).
Can I just connect the iMac using the USB port? Also, do I need a router/firewall to make things easier/more secure?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)Theoretically you could connect to the modem via USB, but other than Alcatel, no other modem manufacturer supplies USB drivers for Mac, and even those Alcatel's are not that reliable.
Yes, a NetGear router would work. Pretty much any router, as networking and IP are platform independent and will work with any OS.

Just wanted to share something cool...
Want to see something cool?
Check out the counters on my site - looks like a .Mac counter but it's actually Statcounter! Cool, right???
Code swap via script by Cyclosaurus - I know he has already shared it with several people from the forum so if you like it you should email him and I am sure he will share!
And now I am sure he will disown me for saying that, ha! (Had his blessings to post about it but not to tell everybody to ask about it.) I will refrain from posting his URL to try to redeem myself!
Have fun

Hello,
This post is to inform you of isues that I had at your store near Flatirons, in Colorado on today! Several years ago I bought Broadband to Go at Best Buy and it always worked great. While on vacation in Florida, I lost it while on vacation and knew I would need it when I returned to my parent's home in a small town in Louisiana. I teach online classes and depend on the internet in order to do my work. I, therefore, went to Best Buy and shared my story with the salesman. I shared that I was on vacation in Florida near the store but planned to go to a small town; needed the internet and wanted to replace my Broadband to Go. He told me that Best Buy did not sell Broadband to Go anymore but T-Mobile Hotspot was the "same thing"; so I purchased it. Once I got to the small town in Louisiana and attempted to set up the hotspot; it did not work. I called T-Moble and they told me they did not provide coverage for the area and I could return the items to Best Buy and get my money back. They told me that the salesman should have checked coverage in the area that I planned to use it in.
When I got back to Colorado, I went to the Best Buy near Flatirons and was told that I could return the device but not the prepaid card. The salesperson was young and very inexerienced and obviously not well trained in dealing with customers. He told me that there was no way I could get my money back from the prepaid card and then proceeded to tell me it was my fault and the salesperson could not know that I was not going to use the card in Florida....and that it was my fault because I did not share the information (although I told him that I had informed the Florida salesman that I needed it for a small town; and he did not let me know that it should be checked). This youngster tried to make me feel like I was supposed to know all of this and it was my fault...when my husband joined me he changed his tune and offered to call the manager. The manager came out...and he was even worst...he told us that we could have scratched the number on the back and used the number ...although he ended that by saying..."not saying that is what you did". Both of these guys were insulting, rude and off puttting.
My husband and I spent thousands of dollors at Best Buy; you can bet we are paying off our current balance and closing our account. The amount we were dealing with is 50 bucks.... but the 50 bucks is not the issue. The issue is.. I take exception at being accused of stealing. I am amazed you hire salesmen who are willing to forfeit good customers over 50 bucks while actually calling the customer a liar and cheater...for 50 bucks!
We were told the Pepaid Card in not refundable...even though I could not use it. Why would you sell a product that you cannot stand behind? You sell the product but are unable to refund the cost of the product even when it was not usable? When I asked how could I tell the product did not work without opening it and using it; I was told in a very condescending voice that that is something I should have known! Wow!
Needless to say, I am closing my account and will not spend a dime in your store again. These so called "liars and cheaters" will take their hard earned "honest" money somewhere else!
MelindaGood afternoon Melinda1957,
Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your feedback. I can imagine your surprise and frustration at finding out you could not use the hotspot in the small town where your parents live in. I personally used to live in the country and purchased a hotspot for my work also, so I know firsthand how important it is to have good coverage. It sounds like the employee, and manager you spoke to at the Broomfield, CO store were not very sympathetic when you explained the situation, and I sincerely apologize if you felt offended by them.
However, per the terms and conditions of our Return and Exchange Promise, the prepaid card falls under the final sale and non-returnable items category, and I am very sorry if this was not explained to you at the time of purchase. I also assure you I will be documenting your experience for further training opportunities. Policies aside, there is never an excuse for our employees to be rude and condescending. We expect all our employees to treat our customers with professionalism and respect.
Once again, I am very sorry for any frustration and disappointment you may have experienced. I hope you will give us another opportunity in the near future to offer you a much better experience.
Respectfully,
Maria|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

i just woke up one day to find out that my ipod is being swarmed by red ants.. it went inside through the dock port.. my ipod still works it just bothers me because in the first place why would ants go inside it? and they could have damaged something inside it.. any clues about the cause of this?
thanks!Wow! That's certainly a new one.
I would imagine that they went in to make a nest. Let's hope that they haven't started yet. Yes, they could cause problems with the hard drive. I suggest that you find a way to make it uncomfortably warm or uncomfortable cold so that they come out.
I have no clue what temperatures will annoy the ants enough but you do want to ensure that you don't achieve temperatures that will harm the iPod. According to Apple, (see page 3), you can safely store (NOT operate) the iPod from -20 to +45 degrees Celsius (-4 to +113 degrees Farhrenheit). -

I am soooo disappointed with the apple customer service at the local store in Tampa......every time they give u an appointment and make people wait for hours......there was some cosmetic problems with the screen of my Mac book pro....they replaced it but the computer would not turn on....and btw when I went to pick up my computer the representative handover my computer to another guy without checking his id who was there to pick up his phone.......then I had to take it back second time this time they messed up my iWork...I took it back but they couldn't retrieve my history of purchase of iWork...and then when I installed the iWork at home...none of the applications is working.... .I will have to take is back fourth time.....I loved apple products but may be not anymore.......
Other than what Shotist007's remarks (which solves nothing) your experience is not common. First I would speak to the store manager to get things rectified for you. If that doesn't work out then I would contact AppleCare and speak to a customer service representative and complain via that venue.

Want to Share Just my Desktop!!!
Hello everyone...
I am on a wired network... and i just want to share my desktop folder only not all the drives... and if its possible, the people who are tryin to connect the Desktop don't have to enter any password or something...
Regards
TanzThe Shared Folder in the Users Folder, in the hard disk drive,
may be a better and more secure place to put items others
could have access to; since your actual desktop folder usually
is safeguarded by your account user password to limit access.
There are several ways to share access and files between Macs
and also between Mac & PC users. Some of them do require a
level of access set up in advance between specific computers
since to do otherwise may leave a computer too vulnerable.
While results from a search from where I am may vary from a
search performed elsewhere (some countries have internet
rules different than others) a general search via Google that I
just did using the following words in the order shown says a lot:
' Mac OS X 10.5 Help: shared file access ' (google search - results link)
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=MacOS+X+10.5+Help%3A+shared+file+access&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=Mac+OS +X+10.5+Help%3A+shared+fileaccess&gs_rfai=&fp=3f73b7d243bf661
Also: Learn about File Sharing in the following specific article(s)
• Mac 101: File Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1549
• Mac OS X 10.5 Help: Sharing Files on your Network
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/17131.html
Actual 'Screen Sharing' is another matter, such as Apple Remote Desktop.
• Add more power to 10.5's Screen Sharing - utilities - Mac OS X Hints:

• Tutorial: Screen Sharing in Leopard (10.5) How it works/how it doesn't:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10329122-263.html
{Since this probably is not needed, I included those two links above to show
them in contrast to setting up file sharing access through the Shared folder.}
The basic Shared folder can be set for other user's access without having
to compromise the security of your user account or the main Admin account.
As an Admin or owner, you have the permission or privilege level to set other
user access limitations in the computer; so it is not open to anyone out there.
So, it won't be super simple to accomplish since it retains security & integrity
if done correctly, of the computer, its system, and the user account data.
Another general Google search of certain words (noting regional access,
language, and country filters on the internet may change between what
I see in results, and what you may get by performing a search, there) on
these words, may yield a few different leads to instructional pages:
' Mac OS X 10.5 shared user folder ' (google search results - link)
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=MacOS+X+10.5+shared+user+folder&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=Mac+OS+X+10.5+ shared+userfolder&gs_rfai=&fp=3f73b7d243bf661
Some results in both Google search links are similar; the two direct to web
pages above may be more than adequate to set up sharing a folder/file.
However, sharing the Desktop folder, (by itself, is in your User folder, in the
Users folder in the hard drive) may not allow anyone the kind of access
most persons would want open to a network or to other users.
For matters about Securing your Mac, there are Apple Support documents
in PDF you can download for offline use, these are about 3MB in size. If
you need to know Admin and server level security settings, that's in depth.
Hopefully this is not too much info; though there are several options, the
basic setup will involve controlling access so it is not open to everyone.
And that is, if it's set up correctly.
{If you keep many items on the Desktop of your computer, that is not
recommended; there are a few reasons why, on that score alone.}
Good luck & happy computing! -

I just purchased an ipad. When I plug it in to my computer it won't show under devices in itunes. I already have itunes set up for my ipod touch. I just want to share the music etc thats already there with both devices. How do I get my computer to recognize that the ipad is there?
The latest model requires iTunes 10.7 or higher. Check iTunes to make sure you're running a compatible version. If so, see:

Positive experience I wanted to share.
No big deal... just wanted to share my recent customer service request that was actually positive. I know most folks only post complaints or dislikes about Fios Customer Service, but I actually had a pretty good experience with a recent upgrade.
So I've had the Home Media DVR service since April. I, just like many others, was very disappointed to learn that it was limited to only working with the QIP2500 SD STBs for streaming recorded shows. I have 5 TVs, 3 of which are HD-capable, so this meant I could only watch HD on one of my TVs and the others were stuck with SD. Well, with the recent IMG 1.6 upgrade, I called up Verizon and asked about upgrading the two other HDTVs from SD STBs to HD STBs. The Customer Service rep was very helpful and processed my order and had two new HD STBs on their way. I received them the other night, set everything up, and activated everything online without having to call them again. The whole process took maybe 20 minutes, but everything worked great afterwards. HD recordings stream just fine from the Home Media DVR to the remote HD STBs, so I'm finally happy! I was even impressed that both Motorola HD STBs included 10-foot HDMI cables (I only needed one as the other uses Component), so now I have an extra. They included a return shipping label for my older 2500 SD STBs that I simply shipped back free of charge. The whole process was very painless and worked as advertised.nascar wrote:
Thank you Kathleen. I'm glad Verizon is listening.
I would be very interested in being part of a user group to provide feedback. I would imagine many people here would be interested as well. I would enjoy helping make FiOS TV a better experience for all.
Thank you again.
Not as wishful as you think nascar. I have gotten a hold of someone here at Verizon who may be interested in your offer. Let me know if you would like to be put in contact with him.

I simply want to share my calendars from home with my work iMac
I really have tried to fine the answer to this and feel a little silly for asking, but .... I just want to share some of my calendars from my home iMac with my new work iMac. I have MobileMe but when I try to join my calendars I get a message saying I cannot join calendars I'm sharing.
How do access calendars I'm 'sharing' from home on my Mac at work?
