I NEED help. Ran out of ideas.

I have 2 problems with the same Ipod.
The Ipod is an older model, monocolor screen, a click wheel. The ipod is currently formatted in Windows.
Now here's my problem, whenever I try to play a song it automatically skips it. The song title, and everything else comes up but the play timer stays at 0:00 and it just skips it, and then skips the next one, and the next one, and so on.
So, I tried everything i maunlly could to it and nothing worked. So then I decided to just plug it into my MacBook and restore it, and re-format it to Mac instead of Windows. But here is the second problem: Whenever I plug it in to my notebook, the ipod says "do not disconnect, and it comes up on my desktop, and then itunes pops up like it found the new device, but it doesn't show the ipod.
I have tried two things:
1. I ran the "software update"
2. I have updated Itunes to 7.1.1
Also, I ran the program alterPOD and even that found the program. But when I attempt to use the iSYNC it can't locate the ipod.
I have seriously ran out of ideas for both of the problems.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo, 512MB RAM

have you tried restoring the ipod?

I need help fleshing out an idea for a form

I have a form I build for my agency that adds records to a database. It's sort of an online survey that's used by different offices within my agency, and it's "recycled" every year or so.
It consists of some info fields for the user filling it out (name, organization, etc) that are always there, but it also has some textarea fields that change whenever it's "recycled".
It's a large form with a lot of serverside error checking, and it's a bit tedious to recode the HTML (not to mention the target page) everytime the form gets recycled, so I had an idea.
My idea was to create a table in the database for the form, and have the following columns:
field_type (i.e. text, textarea, etc)
field_name (for the name="" of the input tag
field_label (for the <label> tag)
field_size
field_order (so I can control the order that the fields show up)
Then use a query to have my CF page dynamically build the form.
While I'm pretty sure the above would work, I'm not so sure how to code the target page, since the FORM.names won't remain the same. I thought about tying to capture all the form fields in some sort of array, but I'm not really sure how to do that. Any ideas?

There is one answer. However, it makes the form even longer!
Consider that the columns you've mentioned represent attributes of each form field. Then include hidden form fields to hold the values of these attributes. For example, for the text field named abracadabra, you will have something like
<input name="abracadabra" type="text">
<input name="abracadabra_type" type="hidden" value="text">
<input name="abracadabra_label" type="hidden" value="mylabel">
<input name="abracadabra_size" type="hidden" value="10">
<input name="abracadabra_order" type="hidden" value="3">
When the form is submitted, the values in the action page will be
form.abracadabra
form.abracadabra_type
form.abracadabra_label
form.abracadabra_size
form.abracadabra_order

Cannot create new folders on desktop. Cannot drag new items onto desktop. Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal. Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas. Thank you.

I can no longer create new folders on my desktop. The option to do that is now light gray on the drop down menu and can't be selected.
I cannot drag new items onto desktop any longer either.
The Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal.
Folders and items on Desktop open and work normally.
Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas.
Thank you.

Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or rebooting. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder or something else, such as Anything.
If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”). Quit Terminal.
Relaunch the Finder.
If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.

How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive

I have a mac 10.5 and need help figuring out how to change my email settings so it does not automatically delete my inbox every 30 days. How to I adjust the mail settings?

I have a mac 10.5 and need help figuring out how to change my email settings so it does not automatically delete my inbox every 30 days. How to I adjust the mail settings?

I think it must be an IMAP account then, & in Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Advanced>Keep copies for Offline viewing:>Don't keep copies, then on the Server, or maybe it's just this one itself, but on the Server you have a setting to remove eMails after 30 days.
If it's a POP account we'd have to investigate that... but you didn't say so I'm guessing here.

Enable the Sort Artist, Album Artist and Sort Album Artist columns so you can see what is going on. Album Artist normally takes precedence over Artist, with the Sort fields further controlling the order.

HELP, RAN OUT OF SPACE! TRANSFER SONGS TO EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE (xhd)

I spent forever filling my iPod video with digitized songs from my CD collection and have many songs left that didn't fit. I bought a Lacie XHD as a library so that I can move all the songs back and forth from my iPod to the External Hard Drive on an as needed basis.
I still have the ORIGINAL songs saved on 3 different PCs all with an authorized copy of iTunes. I now have ran out of space on 3 computers and 1 iPod Video and promised my wife that I would get rid of all the CDs months ago.
The problem is that I have tried different fixes, programs that were recommended but the tags, iTunes reading of the xhd, etc. get screwed up along the way.
What is the best way to simplify this swap?
Any help is most appreciated!
Thanks.....
Dell Windows XP

I am afraid you question is not very clear.
I understand you correctly you have iTunes installed on three different computers each with their own libraries of music.
Is there any duplication of files between the computers or are they all different? I am going to assume there is no duplication.
You want to transfer all the music files to an external drive.
Do you mind losing play counts, ratings and playlists? I am not sure that it is possible to retain all the information from all the separate library databases, but you could retain one. Let’s call that computer A.
So here is one way of doing it.
You need to have all your music in the iTunes Music folder on computer A, and if it isn’t you need to consolidate.
With iTunes closed, copy the iTunes folder from My Music on computer A onto the external drive. Now start iTunes with the shift key held down. When asked to choose a library navigate to the iTunes folder on the external drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
You should now have a duplicate iTunes running on the external drive.
Now go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced>General
Make sure that “Keep iTunes Music folder organised” and “Copy to iTunes Music folder when adding to library” are checked.
Now close iTunes and eject the external drive and plug it into the second PC. Start iTunes with the shift key held down and choose iTunes library.itl on the external drive. Now use add folder to library to add the iTunes Music folder on the internal drive to iTunes. If you have music files in other folder add those too.
Now repeat the process on the third PC.
You should now be able to use the amalgamated library on any of the three PCs by plugging the external drive.
Does that sound as though it is what you want to do?

RVS4000: Need help with out-of-the-box device

The router is performing very badly.
1. Router's "INTERNET" is connected to ADSL cable modem, providing automatically an IP address.
2. The device is getting "freezed"/"stoned" very often. The longest time record for up-time was just over 1 hour. The shortest up-time was somewhere over 2 minutes.
3. When "freezed" the router:
    a. Still can perform as a switch
    b. No access to WAN
    c. No ping to the router
    d. Green indication lamps.
    e. No access to the web-interface
4. Same behavior with 1.3.0.5, 1.3.1.0 and 1.3.2.0 firmwares
5. Sometimes after "Restore to factory defaults" DIAG-RED led is lit, and does not go off.
6. To get device back helps to power-off it for an hour or two.
Is it possible to get any information from the router, when it is "freezed"

Pavel Kopylov,
It look like we got out of sync. I see you just sent another reply about opening the box Friday.
With it only being Friday, I would take it back to the store I bought it from and get another. The same or better.
======================================================================
If you want to use this as a learning experiance and figure out this problem yourself, then the following maybe for you:
In all of your communications. I hear you saying your RVS-4000 freezes and will not communicate. No in or out of data. Is that correct?
You are also saying, these freezes occur at various times. Correct?
Which I hope this means is that it is working until it stops working...
If that is correct. Then you need to figure out if the problem is coming in over your WAN connection or it's the hardware of the Router itself.
If you think it's the hardware of the Router. Then do things like measure the temperatures of the Router. (Carefully) Try to heat it or cool it to see if this makes it fail, quicker... Check the Voltage to this Router and make sure it's correct and you are not getting Black outs or brownouts, etc... Also check for lose data connectors. (Watch the lights on the front panel)
However, If you think this is from a TCP/UDP attack on your Router. Then you can place a HUB between your Router and the Cable/DSL Modem and the Router. Next plug in a PC into the same HUB and run Network Software Monitoring on this PC in Continues Record mode. Until a failure. Then go thru the Data and see what you find.
There are a few free Network Software Monitoring Tools you can find and download. Even Microsoft has a nice one for free. Microsoft Network Monitor 3.x
You can also buy another Router. The same or better and if you have the same kind of problems. Then it just might be coming in over your connection. And the new Router can then be returned as its still new.
You can call Cisco and or your local ISP and work with them on this problem.
These are just a few Ideas... I'm sure others will have even more.
Bruce

Ran out of ideas regarding my freeze problem.

I've had my iMac for about a year and a half now and it was going absolutely great, but about 10 days ago, it started freezing a whole lot like within 10 minutes that I turn it on, it just gets to the spinning wheel and nothing happens, I have to do a manual shut down.
Also, when I boot my computer I very often get the question mark folder, or it just sticks to the blue or grey screen and I need to restart it one more time.
I did a disk utility for my hard drive with no problems showing, the repairs told me nothing needed repairs.
I also did the hardware test with the Mac OS X Installation cd by pressing D and again it said there was nothing wrong.
I tried to reset the PRAM, didn't do anything else.
I actually even ended up formating my entire hard drive... twice. Yet it is still freezing,
I'm running out of ideas here, so thats why I'm posting this
Hopefully someone can help.

Hello S:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
It looks like (from here) a hardware problem. One thing you might try, however, is resetting the SMC:

I need help figuring out how to Link Data from one table in Sharepoint to another table in Sharepoint and make it dynamic

Hi Everyone,
I am working on a project that uses SharePoint 2010 for repository and we have multiple tables that we are using.
One table is a list of the various projects we are working on (workstreams)
The other is a table with various notes and such, to include meeting notes for the various projects.
Currently we are just copying the shortcut from the meeting notes table and adding it in as a link in the workstreams status table.
I need to find out if there is some sort of way to make this process dynamic so that when a new note is added for, lets say workstream #1 in the notes table, it will automatically propogate into the notes link section for workstream #1.
Is this even possible??
And if so how would I do it
I haven't done much with modifying SharePoint in several years, and would Truly appreciate any and all help with this.
Thanks in advance
IKE

Hi IKE,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a link in the workstreams list linked to the associated item of the notes list.
Assuming the workstreams list has Title column and another column called “Note” used to linked to notes list, and the notes list has Title column and another column used to store note.
Then you can create a workflow on the notes list with SharePoint Designer 2010, and in the workflow, using “Update ListItem” action. And in the workflow Start Options, select “Start workflow automatically when an item is created”.
For the workflow action, you can set as the screenshot:
For the string in the String Builder, you need to open an item of notes list, then copy the URL of the display form and paste here, the URL will look something like this:
http://sp/Lists/notes/DispForm.aspx?ID=1&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fsp%2FLists%2Fnotes%2FAllItems%2Easpx&ContentTypeId=0x0100300025278693CE49A5E3A394B23AD9E1&IsDlg=1
Now, you need to replace the ID of the item using [%Current Item:ID%], for example in the above link, delete the number 1 and add [%Current Item:ID%].

I need help figuring out GRUB [SOLVED]

So, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how grub's menu.lst should be configured on my system. I've scoured the internet and wiki, but I can't quite get it. Hopefully you can help me!
Here's some info:
joe@Snow-Crash:~$ sudo fdisk -l
[sudo] password for joe:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x1e721e72
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 16554 132969973+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 * 16555 19104 20482875 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 19105 19457 2835472+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 19105 19457 2835441 82 Linux swap / Solaris
I have HH 8.04 on my main partition [sda1], and I'm trying to put Arch on my 20gb sda2 partition. I followed the beginner's guide up to the install grub section. When it had me review menu.lst the pertinent Arch section was
"title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda3 ro
initrd /kernel26.img"
Now, I was planning on just copying this bit and pasting it into HH's menu.lst (and not installing grub in arch's partition), but I thought that it didn't seem quite right. It turns out I was right, since I get an "error 15: File not found" when I choose to boot Arch.
So what should it be? This is how I understand it, in my admittedly newbie way.
Am I mistaken in that it should be "root (hd0,0)" Since the root command points to where grub is residing (and I'm using HH's grub in sda1)?
And "kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2" Since I need to designate that the kernel is on a different partition than (hd0,0), and my Arch partition is sda2?
and as far as I can tell it should be "initrd (hd0,1)/kernel26.img" since it's on a different partition.
I know I'm doing something wrong here, since I still get the same "file not found" error message. Can someone point out the error in my ways?
PS: Since I was having trouble with this I decided to try to to install GRUB in sda2 and use chainloader to point to it from HH's menu.lst. But when I tried to install grub via my Arch cd it gave me a generic "unable to install Grub" message. So I'm up a creek!
I hope you guys can help me out! Thanks.

Welcome Joe_Arch,
You have to set the root to the partition that contains the "OS image" (the kernel). Also, you apparently don't have a separate /boot partition, so you have to add /boot/ to the beginning of the file names.
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img

I need help working out my apple ids and updates

Hey guys I use 2 apple ids on my iPad one of which is for free apps and does not have a credit card number the other one for paid apps which has a credit card number. I also never update apps unless I really need to. This way I never really used the update all function. Now, when I visit the app store I have 122 apps needing updates. I cannot update all as they have been purchased from different apple ids.Recently I acquired another problem.Upon logging out from my free Id
And logging into the paid one to buy a new app(F1 2011) when I went back (to the free id) after each purchase it tells me that some apps were unable to be purchased. The exact error it shows is " unable to purchase F1 2011 and 5 other items ". Can someone help me out with this as I even want to update all of my apps. I have also got another iPad logged into the same free apple Id and purchase apps on that to.

What happens when you try to log in? If there is an error message,
what is the exact complete wording of that message?
