I think I ruined the protective plastic window on my iSight webcam. Help!
I was trying to clean my iSight webcam. Used some glasses cleaner spray. And tried wiping it with a glasses cleaning cloth. But there seemed to be a white speck on the cover so I might have gotten a little rough scraping at it. And it looks like the cover is all messed up now. As if there was a tint on it that is scratched of from most of it, so there are dark and light parts on it now. Does anyone know how I could get a new plastic piece for it? Is this going to take a lot of time and be expensive?

while updating the older version iTunes to latest one it shows "a network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: C:\windows\installer\iTunes64.msi. pls help on this matter to connect my i5 to PC. Thanks in advance
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
I don't have any details other than what I have explained in the question. Have always been able to download Adobe files in the past. Tried Windows Explorer and it worked. Don't like Windows Explorer.
Using FF 5.0.
I've encountered this opening the following file:
* http://download.esha.com/fandc/error/sqlfc.pdf
The error occurred the first time I tried to open, but subsequent times it has opened fine. A co-worker gets the error everytime when trying to view in his FF 5.0. It has always opened fine in IE for both of us (like the OP meant, I think -- I don't like IE. Not even a little bit!).
Downloading the file seems fine (opening in Acrobat Reader itself). -
Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes always crash and stuck and i can not sync my device, i dont no whats wrong because the itunes even can not acess itunes store, still loading waiting for itunes store and nothing.I tryed reinstall itunes but just waste of time.
My itunes is update, iphone 3gs 4.3.4, system is windows vista home premium.
Please help me.I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
When you go to the iTunes download page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts. -
Best Way To Apply Protective Plastic/Shield
I bought the Power Support Crystal Film today for my (yet to be opened) iPhone. So before I open it, which will be later tonight, what's the best/effective way to apply the protective plastic on the iPhone LCD? Please advise. As I don't want to get any air bubble or small dust specks underneath the plastic.
This is the link to what I bought: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=479 E6BBB&fnode=home/shopiphone/iphoneaccessories&nplm=TN612LL/A
Thanks in advanceWhen I first bought my iPhone back in June I bought a protective case for it... but it was too bulky to fit in my front pocket... and it took away the "bling" effect of the phone. A few days later I decided to ditch the case... and have had no protection since. The phone looks as new as it did the day I bought it. Mind you I don't put anything else in the same pocket.
Think about it... would you buy a Cadillac and then go to Wal-Mart's Auto department to dress it up? -
IPod Nano Protective Plastic Question
Well, I've had my black iPod nano since launch and I've never taken off the plastic that came on it protecting the screen and the whole front side. Currently, my iPod is in a nano tube and i still have the plastic on. I think that plastic is a life saver but lately I have been wondering, are there any possible problems that can occure because of the protective plastic?
Thanks.I don't think there are any problems as long as you don't allow anything to get between the plastic and the nano.

Whenever you have multiple windows open - say one is your Gmail account and the other is a bunch of pages you're using at work - and then you go to minimize the window with Gmail but intend to continue working on the other open windows. Using Command-M (the minimize shortcut for Macs) unfortunately now sends all open windows to the minimize bar in the lower right. Which means - every time I go to look at Gmail, then put it away, I have to reclick to open all of the other windows I was working in. Can this be fixed? It never used to happen.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to the latest version of FirefoxBecause OS X 10.4* does not have what is needed by Firefox 4.0 and newer.
Linux users are in a similar boat also as they need certain package versions within the last few years as LTS distros (with outdated packages from 4+ years ago) like CentOS is a bit screwed on newer applications like Firefox 4.0. By your logic Mozilla should also support Linux packages from 10 years ago also which would be a really ridiculous thing to do.
I think only the 64-bit Windows Vista and Windows 7 is really supported or will be rather when it comes to 64-bit builds (still not officially supported yet).
Mozilla is still supporting Firefox 3.6 with updates, in which 3.6.16 can be found at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html -

hi,
i wanted to resize my windows partition. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partition from the backup. Is this possible?I see youhave gotten recommendatons for using WinClone or CampTune. I have used both and they both work well.
You have asked about using the WIndows 7 utility to backup your drive and restor it onto a larger partition. I will tell you fro experience that this will probably not do what you want, and may do something that you don't want. You can use the Windows 7 native backup tool to make a backup of your Windows 7 partition. It will most liekly end-up making a dive image of the whole drive. When yourestore that backup, it will try to re-create teh partitions of exactly the same size as they were when the backup was taken, so it won't increase your partition size for you. Worse, since Windows doesn't natively know how to read./write HFS+ volumes, the backup will make a partition for your MacOS (replacing any you may have now), except that the copy restored by WIndows will be totally worthless, and you will not be able to boot MacOS from it, or even read it under MacOS.
Now I will tell you that I've also had some fairly good success working with the free tool CloneZilla. Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, and everything else mentioned does cost you money, I thought I would throw it out. CloneZilla is not as easy to use as the tools mentioned, but it has worked for me int hte past, so it is something to consider. I tend to use CampTune myself, but that was because I purchased a bundle deal for them and it was included in that deal. -
Thinking about using the Windows Event Logs as my main log store - looking for pros and cons
I have been writing some larger scripts that write to physical log files. Until today I have avoided trying to use the Windows Event logs, but, am beginning to rethink this and wondered if anyone has done this, and, what the strengths and weaknesses
of this logging approach has been. If I do it, I will probably write a function that accepts pipelined input and simply pass output to the log. I wanted to get a feel for what I would be getting into before I started writing things up since this
will probably take a little bit of work to get set up to run properly.At my company we use the Windows event log for many of our batch process logging for several reasons:
Unlike logging to a central database, the Windows event log is always available. I've seen poorly thought out logging solution which log to a database and if the database happens to be unavailable the batch process would fail.
Monitoring tool such as SCOM already have Windows event log watchers so adding alerts to take action based on message written to the Windows event log is easy
Built-in support for writing Windows event log entries in the Powershell V2 write-eventlog cmdlet, a simple CLR can created in SQL Server or even command-line eventcreate.exe
Easy to create a custom event log so you don't have to use the default application log in Windows 2008 and higher.
Most shrink-wrap S/W already use the event log
Issues I've seen:
Windows 2008 with UAC on requires "registering" i.e. creating a new event log source with UAC. This can be done one time manually. Unfortunately there isn't a way to automate UAC--pure GUI. The Powershell command would be "New-EventLog -LogName Application
-Source mysource" if you're using the Application log and must be run as administrator.
Errant process writes many entries to the event log. Depending on the volume like for example writing stack dumps this can performance problems. I think I recall an issue an Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 with UAC off if you're creating a new
event log source each time (which you shouldn't) then these results in many registry entries which can cause problems.
I don't think the issues outweigh the benefits--just something to be aware of. -
Updated iTunes to 11.0.3 and now when I try to use Airport Express I get a message in iTunes that states, "an unknown error has occured (-15000.) I gave the Airport a hard re-start, so I don't think that is the issue. Using Windows 7 Ultimate
Looks like I fixed it., thanks to another post I read. I went into my Norton Security. Under Settings. Chose Firewall. Program rules. changed the itunes setting from "auto" to "allow" This also fixed my error (-3212) which would not allow me to connect to the iTunes store.

I am thinking of buying a iPad but my main desktop machine uses Windows 7 and MS Office. How easy or difficult is it to transfer data files between the iPad and Windows? Are there obvious problems or the need for some form of conversion programs?
Many thanks for any advice.
DavidYou don't need conversion programs, iTunes can copy most of your content over to the iPad via the file sharing section, and some apps also support Dropbox, email attachments, transfer via your wifi network. There are a number of apps that you can get that support Microsoft office file (microsoft don't make an app versions of their software) e.g. from Apple there are Pages (word support), Numbers (excel) and Keynote (powerpoint), and from third-parties there are apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD

Yesterday I used my iphone in the rain. I think some water must have got inside. Now the phone seems to be working OK but is not backlit so is incredibly hard to read. Is there anything I can do to reset or have I ruined the phone?
What you should have done is immediately turn the phone off, then put it in a ziploc bag of dried rice after you wiped all visible moisture off the phone. Leave it in the ziploc bag for 3 ~ 4 days, then turn it on & hope things work OK. It may be too late to try the dry rice trick now, but you can give it a shot if you like.
