Is it just me..or lots of unanswered posts? need help with sync/restore...
nearly lost everything off my iPhone, due to a computer problem which holds primary iTunes library...I believe I'm finally having success right now in restoring.....
But just in case......
my question is whether I can connect my iPhone to a second computer which has a separate library, and let it back up in iTunes on that computer......
if I do this routinely, and if the primary computer dies on me, I'd still have the option to restore from computer#2,,,, correct? and not lose all my current data on the iPhone...... correct?
thanks.
From your post it would seem that your iTunes Library files (or rather backups of them) are on your external drives. This is the most important thing from the point of preserving your library if you should need to rebuild the computer. What is not so clear is if the files that iTunes opens each time you use it are the ones on the external drive or a set of internal copies. One way of checking is to run the script iTunesXMLPath which tells you which .xml file iTunes is updating, and therefore the folder containing the other active library files. If this folder is the parent folder of the *iTunes Media* folder, (See *Edit > Preferences > Advanced* tab) then the library is portable and can survive being moved or having the drive letter changed.
If you are currently using the "internal" copy of the library files then, having updated the copy on your primary "external" drive, you can switch the active library by clicking on the icon to start iTunes and immediately pressing & holding down the shift key until asked to *Create or choose a library*. Click choose and navigate to the folder on the external drive. Check everything works properly.
SyncToy would be ideal for you to manage keeping the two external copies of the library updated. The first time you run it a wizard navigates you through the task of choosing two folders to pair up. It can be used for any general folder mirroring backup so you can easily create other folder pairs to take care of your downloads, documents, email stores etc.
Once you've confirmed that your library is running from the external drive then you can rebuild your Windows installation, install iTunes and use the SHIFT-start-iTunes method to open the library on the external.
What virus do you think you have? If it's one of those "Your computer is infested with 123 different suspect files, click here to give us some money to clean it for you!" types then http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix may be a good place to start, assuming of course that the URL-redirection element of the virus lets you get to the correct site.

Things have just got a LOT worse! I need HELP plea...
I posted earlier (yesterday) on the thread about the problems reading emails. "New BTemail - what a load of rubbish!!!" This seems to have been closed/solved.
On there I was advised there to set up Windows Live Mail which would syncronise with the webmail I have been using and retain all my many folders and emails.
Posts on there indicated I needed to check if my current provider was POP or IMAP. I have failed in this quest. After trying for nearly two hours I cannot find the answer!!
Can someone please tell me where I should look for this information?
Also, as part of my quest for POP? or IMAP? I checked Outlook Express and it looks as if in doing so all my BTmail INBOX has migrated there!! I didn't ask it to or alter any settings. I now have no mail in my Inbox but fortunately they are still in Outlook Express so not lost forever but I'd like them back please. The rest of my folders haven't moved over.
I am so unhappy I'm fast losing the will to use a pc ever again.
Can someone here please help OR Do I need to contact the BT help people.
Thank you for reading my tale of woe and for any help offered.How to copy the mail from Outlook Express to WLM is explained below.
Find and copy the entire Outlook Express data folder on Windows XP. To find the location of the message store, go to OE's Tools, Options Maintenance tab and click on Store Folder button.
Select and Copy the folder path in the Store dialog. It should look something like the following, if you were using the default folder path:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{FA572F59-2087-498C-A7A9-F546571D6ECF}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
Close the dialogs and OE and paste the folder path in Windows Explorer's address bar. Press Enter. This will open Explorer to the location of OE's dbx files. Copy the contents of the entire Outlook Express folder, including the folders.dbx file to the Windows 7 computer, placing it in your My Documents folder. If you are moving it on a USB drive, you don't need to copy it to the Windows 7 hard drive, Live Mail can read the files from the USB drive.
Import Outlook Express Email into Live Mail
Download and install the Microsoft Live Mail client
Open it and go to File, Import Messages.
Select to import from Outlook Express 6
Browse to the Outlook Express folder you copied from the old computer.
Select the folders you want to import and finish the wizard. -
Just switched from verizon to comcast and need help with me wireless.
Im on my basic setup page but i dont know how to configure it to work. if there is a step by step instuction page for this that would be great
You need to configure the router first as per the ISP settings.
Open the set up page of the router by launching an Internet Explorer Browser and type the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as admin and click on ok.On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings button.
Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone""... Click on enable>>>Click Clone & click save settings ...Check WAN Ip on Status page of router .... If getting Valid Ip .... try going online...If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then again check the WAN Ip address ..... and try to go Online.

cover flow (artwork) is no longer images just a color grid, can't correct, need help...Thanks
Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility. -

I just downloaded an album from itunes and 2 of the tracks will not play at all, they cut off. I need help with this??
Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.
If it can be downloaded again, delete the track from iTunes.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
If it is corrupt and you cannot download it a second time, contact Apple. Contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,

I need help with iTunes. I just bought a new laptop and I have a few questions
So I just bought a new laptop and few days ago. It's an HP. I have the iPhone 4 (8GB). So all my songs from iCloud are on my phone. I want to manually put them on my phone. All of my songs, videos, pictures etc. are on my new laptop. I went to apply the changes on iTunes when I selected "Manually manage music and videos". And a message came up saying "This iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on another PC. Do you want to choose to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?" Under that it says "Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
So what do I do? I don't want to click sync and loose everything on my phone. I will no longer use the other comuter. I really need help.
Thank you!There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
You should be able to copy iTunes purchased music from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
If you still have your old computer and you haven't copied your library over form it, then there are also some methods listed on this page about how you could copy it over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - the page refers to music, but I've used the home sharing method to copy apps, films etc between computers. -
HOW CAN I SPEAK WITH A LIVE HUMAN? I need help with what I just purchased.

I need help taking out the grey folder with the question mark and I've try everything except the CD thing because my MacBook didn't come with one so I really need help please
What anti-virus software did you install? Although there's a lot of bad anti-virus software out there, no anti-virus software should cause such a problem. A gray screen with a flashing question mark on a folder means that no bootable system could be found, which means that the system was badly damaged or corrupt. Even installing bad software would not normally cause that, so either there was something badly wrong with the system already or the anti-virus software you tried to install was really, really bad!
As mende1 says, you need to reinstall the system at this point. After your system is back up and running, read my Mac Malware Guide. If, after reading that, you want anti-virus software, use one of the programms recommended in that guide. -
Lots of unanswered posts... fingers crossed this time - [syncing problem]
I originally posted this several days ago and although I've seen lots of views, I've gotten no responses. There seem to be some very iSavvy people on here, so hopefully there might still be someone around with some insight. Here's what's happening:
I got a new 32gb iPod Touch, 4th Generation, last week. Everything's been working fine. Then, this morning, I went to sync my iPod and iTunes didn't open automatically. I opened it manually and it hung for a few seconds then worked again but my iPod wasn't showing up. I checked in Windows Explorer and my iPod was definitely connected. To clarify, I'm using iTunes 10.1.1.4 (64-bit version) under Windows 7 Home, 64-bit.
I went through all the steps in all the appropriate KB articles and nothing worked. I tried stripping all traces (AppData, iTunes Library, registry entries, etc.) of any Apple software and reinstalling and still no luck.
I tried placing my iPod in Recovery mode and, lo, iTunes recognizes it. I figured it must be an issue with the iPod. So I, reluctantly, did a restore. Everything went fine until the point where the iPod restarts. iTunes does not recognize my iPod. So now my iPod is stuck in a factory reset state (screen with the picture of the USB cord and the arrow to the iTunes icon) and iTunes 10.1 won't recognize it. It's not showing up in Windows Explorer at this point but the Apple Mobile Device USB driver is showing in Device Manager.
I read one post where someone had success rolling back to iTunes 9 then updating to 10.1 that way. I tried this. While it didn't work, it did show me something interesting: Although iTunes 9 could not sync with my newer iPod, it DID recognize it and tell me to update.
Finally, I tried rolling back to version 7.9.2 of CoreAudioToolbox.dll. Still no luck.
Since then, I've managed to sync just fine with iTunes 10 running under a Windows XP Virtual Machine in VMWare Workstation. I've also synced just fine with CopyTrans manager, an iTunes alternative (although it's not very powerful and doesn't sync files for apps ie: Can't add videos for VLC Player). Seeing as these worked, I can rule out problems with the iPod and problems with my Windows install. It seems to be localized to iTunes running under Windows 7.
Futhermore, I've realized that I can't view the 'Devices' tab in iTunes preferences. If I click on it, iTunes just hangs and stops responding. The tab becomes highlighted, but the content below stays as whatever tab I was previously on. This specific symptom seems like something to me that might clearly indicate what trouble my iTunes is having - an overall issue with devices - but every combination of search terms that I can think of turns up nothing.
My hope is that someone here will know what this means, what files and/or registry entries I have to delete and or replace? Did I miss something when I cleared everything iTunes related out of my system before? I must have, since the isses carry over from install to install.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help!This may be an issue with Windows 7 64bit. I have a test machine at work with Windows 7 Pro and iTunes keeps crashing and freezing.

Just Switched To Mac's and Need Help With A Few Issues!
Hi All,
I finally did it and switched to a Mac!! Never thought it would happen as I always felt guilty about the cost but after 5 laptops crashing on me - well, I just could not take it anymore! I managed to get a fairly good deal on a 15" Macbook Pro - 2.2/120GB version. I still don't know much about the mac way but am trying to learn so any help would be appreciated!
1). Is there any kind of video tutorial (preferably free!) that I can use that will help me learn the Ma OS X? I have Tiger 10.4.11 on my MBP (Did you hear that - MY MBP!!!)
2). AOL Assured me that they fully support Mac before I purchased (only 5 times!) but after I had bought it - they then told me that they do not! I got the AOL disk for Mac but it kind of ***** - features are missing etc. Does anyone in the UK run their Mac's with AOL and does it run as per normal? Any advice with AOL & Mac?
3). AOL also told me - hey, no probs - of course you can transfer all your old emails, favourites folders, personal filing cabinet from a PC to a Mac - but then, after I bought it - the so called dedicated Mac Experts at AOL tell me that simply is not possible - What advice can anyone give me who has switched from PC to Mac with AOL and who needed to transfer all their stuff over? AOL tells you totally different things depending on who you talk to and even from what their web page state! I am really fed up with them!
4). If I am ever successful in getting all my many years worth of data from AOL on a PC to a Mac, I am really intent of changing ISP's - what are the best ones for Mac that offer good Mac support, good deals and no charges for telephone support?
5). I was initially happy with Tiger as again, AOL assured me they supported it but not Leopard (even their website says so) and as I stupidly thought that it must be true (we are talking AOL here!). Now I know that they don't support anything Mac, I am contemplating moving to Leopard - I am a little cautious as I heard there were/are many bugs and unhappy leopard experiences - have the majority of these been solved yet and is it advisable to change to Leopard or should I wait until an updated version comes out?
6). My MBP was originally bought in the US but is registered to my name in the UK. it has 6 months Apple warranty left and I wish to buy Applecare. Apple says it 'recommends' buying Applecare in the country at which the item is registered (not bought, as I understand it). Does that mean, if I buy Applecare in the USA, Apple UK will still accept it and service my MBP as they would do any other or will I have to have the hassle of sending the thing to the USA if it needs attention? Applecare USA T&C's state only for the 50 States & Canada and Applecare UK state only for the UK & EU. Both however state international servicing?! I am a bit confused on this one. I travel a lot and need to know, that any Applecare I buy will not then be limited to just the places they state in the T&C's. As It reads to me, Applecare purchased in the USA/Canada will not cover the UK/Europe/ROTW and vice versa. Is this true or am I missing something or just plain thick?
5). I really wish to upgrade the 120GB HDD. My understanding is that it must be done by either Apple (who charge really silly money) or if correct, at an "Authorized Apple Service Provider" who of course will be much cheaper. If true, does this mean at ANY authorized apple service provider on the planet or just ones in which the item is registered? If I do the upgrade with a service provider, will Apple then also service the new HDD if something goes wrong as per normal anywhere in the world or will they then say, sorry, will not service the new HDD and you have to go back to the place where you had it installed, even though it was one of their authorized service centers? (that would really suck)!
6). The spelling and dictionary (and a few other things) are set to US English - how can I set to UK English? I have tried but to no avail so far.
7) What and how should I set the Firewall settings so I will not get attacks by any form of malware? (I do not know much about this area and what the implications mean)!
Well, that's it so far - please bear my ignorance, I am so new to Mac's and hope this to be one of the smarter decisions I have made in life! Already I have strange sensation that I never had with all those years of Microsoft & PC's - I kinda feel reassured, safe, that if I have problems, they will get sorted, My life will now be easier and not having to worry so much about crashes, viruses, trojans etc, gives me a sense of liberation and contentment almost - very strange feeling but a **** good one! (if only the women in my life were like that)!
Thank You All From A PC to Mac Switcher (and NO! I do not feel guilty or scared anymore)!
SuaveBhav!I can help you with your questions about AppleCare, and can also reassure you that both the macbook pro and Leopard will be worth your investment and the time you are putting into figuring out how to get your data across. I switched from windows when I bought my macbook a year and a half ago and would not use any other system now. The other day I completed the transition by erasing parallels and Windows from my system entirely.
As for AppleCare, you can get warranty care anywhere in the world, no matter where you buy your AppleCare. Mine was bought and is registered in the US, I live in Slovakia, and have had it serviced several times in Austria and Slovakia under the warranty without any problems at all. There are differences, however, in exactly what the warranty covers from place to place, in accordance with the law in each place that AppleCare is issued. Even though I live in the EU, my agreement with Apple is an American one, and the American guarantees hold. If EU law would demand that Apple fix more things, for instance, than American law does, I could not get those things repaired under my agreement, and vice versa.
Basically, though, I understand my agreement with AppleCare to be that they will fix all problems/damage that are not my fault free of charge for two years after my initial one-year warranty runs out, and that is good enough for me. -
Just coming from Win and need Help with bootcamp/parallels+general osx stuf
Well I absolutely love my Mac. I'm just having some problems affording it financially, but when I compare this new MacBook Pro to other like computers, there's a very very small difference in the hardware, and Im usually building laptops that are similiar to this for around 2k anyways. So I'm not 100% sure if I'll keep this or not, and maybe settle for cheaper PC that's under 1.5k (because Apple charges you a 10% open box fee) and buy a mac when I'm in a better position, or just keep this and see what I can do.
But a few of the things that are making me miss a PC might push me toward a cheaper PC. And so maybe someone here can help me out before I make a decision.
First off, is there anything that's the equivalent to a disk defragmentor for OSX?
Second, is the graphics card really powerful in this Macbook 15 inch 2.4 ghz (the newest one)
Im also having a problem with this keyboard and my favorite game. Basically I need to hold down certain keys (control, alt, shift and space) in order to use skills. But for some reason when I hold down any of these buttons, it only reads it once. So I have to push it every time I'd say, want to heal myself or hit a monster... and that might not seem like a lot but if you play a game for 1 hour + (I'd usually play around 4 hours) it's going to absolutely kill my fingers and make playing the game take a lot longer.
Now I'm using parallels (the only way to play my game) and whenever I try to install a new KB, because I've found out that the way a KB is wired will determine whether or not you can spam a key or not (Like a cheap USB one wont work, but a more expensive logitech one allows you to) but it either
1) Crashes Parallels and my Win VM
or
2) It sets up whatever kb I use to be used with Mac OSX's drivers which means no matter what the KB is, ctrl alt space and shift cant be spammed.
I'm also unable to use FRAPS, a PC video capturing program used for games while running parallels. My FPS constantly dips to 0 which lags me in the game, and I can't find a good recording program thats OSX side and that works while Parallels is running (I emailed parallels about what vid they used in their demo but no response)
Now if use bootcamp, will I have nothing to worry about? Will all of the hardware act like it should act natively on a PC? As in will my nVidia graphics card act like it normally would on a PC instead of it being some kind of virtualized hardware or something like on parallels?
Thanks for the help guys... 2 weeks to decide on whether or not I keep th is laptop....
Wii code: 2053-8430-7334-7335
MGO Name: Crim, [BBB]Crim, Pacifist, Kaze, oSoiFong, A NOOB.The graphics card is a higher performance GPU than the X1600 in the previous MBP models. As for "really powerful" you don't provide any basis for comparison. Visit the ATI site to find out the specifications for the model.
Well I understand that much. I just mean as far as a graphics card in general goes, is it strong enough to support a variety of games (both PC and Mac)? This is my first computer without a crappy intergrated graphics card which could barely handle games from the late 1990s.
As for keyboard shortcuts I'm not sure if you're referring a Mac or a PC game. However, this reference may help. If the game is a Mac version you'll need to contact the game's developer about any problems with how to use the game on a Mac. If you read the Parallels documentation it will explain how to generate any special keyboard characters when in Windows.
Umm it's not that. Like I first figured out this problem with all electronics in general when I was a kid playing with one of those press and speak books. What I found out was that, let's pretend there were 3 buttons. One was cow going moo, one was a cat meowing and one was a dog barking. If you held down the Cow button and pressed the Cat button, the cow would still Moo. If you held down the Cow and press the dog button, the cow would still moo. However if you pressed and held the cat button, then pressed the cow button the cat would stop meowing, and the moo would override it.
That same principle applies to keyboards from what I've seen. I know there are some keyboards where I can use the control button and the alt button at the same time, and some keyboard I can't use. I can't blame the game, because there ARE keyboards that work the way I want it to. And I'm not talking about keyboard shortcuts. Pressing Control+Alt isn't a shortcut in a game, just two different commands. Like one is jump, one is attack. In the game you can Jump and Attack with some keyboards, some keyboards only let you jump or attack.
Another example is if I put my jump key on the letter "a" and if I hold a, I jump over and over until I let go. but if I put jump to my space bar, I jump once then stop. For some reason it won't repeat keys while in a game. Same goes for other buttons, ctrl, shift, and alt.
Does that make things a little more clear?
but what I'm going to do is try my mac keyboard on a PC and see if it has the same limitations.
If Parallels is crashing either you have a faulty installation, your OS X installation is corrupted, or you have not allocated sufficient RAM for the VM. You need at least 2 GBs of installed RAM to use virtualization software and should allocate at least 384 MBs or RAM to Windows XP and 512 MBs to Vista. If you have only 1 GB of RAM installed your system won't be very stable when you try to run Parallels with Windows on 384 or 512 MBs of RAM.
I have the newest 15 inch which has gigs. And I've tried setting Parallels to both 1 and 512 (windows xp) and I worded the problem wrong. Parallels doesnt crash, parallels runs fine. What happens is Windows XP gets the blue screen of death whenever I try to install a usb device. Since I can't find a logitech keyboard that has drivers/software for a mac, I tried using a Windows one and tried installing it on my XP... and thats when I got the BSOD
Parallels uses all the native Mac hardware via the virtualization software. No special Mac drivers are required nor special Windows drivers.
If you cannot run a Windows program in Parallels it's not a problem with OS X. Complain to Parallels.
It's not that a program isn't running. It's running fine, it's just my FPS gets really low. What I'm trying to figure out is if my graphics card isn't good enough in general, or if it's not good enough to handle parallels and osx and a game with a video capture all at once.
Boot Camp runs Windows natively on the hardware just as if you were using any other dedicated Windows hardware. "Will I have nothing to worry about?" I don't know. Boot Camp provides the necessary Windows drivers for all currently produced Intel Macs. You can install Windows XP with Service Pak 2 or Vista. Read the Boot Camp documentation to find out more.
Well I meant will I have nothing to worry about as in, will my graphics card be as effective on my bootcamped win XP as it would be if it was a native XP laptop, or will it be slightly less effective since it was based for a mac intel computer... does that make sense or do I need to reword it? -
A lot of CS4 bugs I need help with....
The list of bugs I am about to post that are ongoing issues with my CS4... I have tried searching for solutions but to no avail...
Corrupt frames Sometimes for no reason, a frame in the timeline will corrupt. everytime you 'scrub' or try to edit a certain frame it crashes. even if you restart flash, open the fle again, without fail that frame will cause it to crash. meaning you
have to back step and get rid of the offending frame. and start again. I knows so many people that ths has happened to. resulting n drasticlly closely missing deadlines.
Ghost frames: It will, for me, CONSTANTLY leave ghost frames. a solid 'onion' frame as if you have accidentally copied and pasted a previous frame
over the top, there is no way of getting rid of it unless you leave the symbol and re-renter, but it will shortly return.it's a solid image that doesnt move, you just can't see what you're doing.
The onion skin often refuses to work also. - I worked out for myself this was a problem with other layers being locked below it. which is ridiculous. I can work around this but it still shouldn't happen.
Deleting fills: When I move shapes with more than one fill, it will often delete a fill, or fill some in a different colour. If I am drawing with the brush tool it sometimes will delete other sections I have drawn with the same tool.
Not to mention the thousands of times it will crash unexpectedly. and I mean this happens a LOT.
These all happen with no correlation to previous things I have done.
I'm a professional animator and I'm sure everyone has heard this all the time but I think it's very important. I rely on Flash as my main piece of software. As a freelancer affording software (as everyone knows) is VERY difficult so when you shell out the thousands, you expect to be given
good quality software that you can rely on. I can't afford an upgrade right now. and certainly don't want to upgrade purely because Adobe has decided to issue a faulty product.
I am close to missing deadlines because of the bugs. I have downloaded EVERY update hoping they will fix this stuff but it doesn't. CS3 was mainly fine, why is this so bad? I really think they should offer a free upgrade to CS5 for people with CS4 issues. I am reduced to tears with stress when working on projects that are corrupting and crashing for no apparent reason. If you bought any other peice of equipment that was faulty you wouldn't be expected to pay for one that works.
Anyone know of any answers to any of the above bugs? MAINLY avoiding the corrupt frame problem?iWork is probably not the best way to keep track of photos if you want to have clickable thumbnails and links to full size images. I say that only because I once had such an idea and after playing with it for some time I reverted to using the tools in iPhoto; Events, People, Keywords, etc.
As an adjunct to iPhoto or Aperture to reference events and photos it might be useful to keep track of photo shoot sessions in Numbers. What types of information are you seeking to track?

[SOLVED]Need help with Xmonad config(just basic stuff)
Hello Guys,
I thought I'd give Xmonad a try even if I don't know haskell. So I just tried to use some examples from the net, however even for just mapping some special keys it fails.
I used this example http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmon … _%280.9%29
and this is my config file:
import XMonad
import Graphics.X11.ExtraTypes.XF86
import XMonad.Util.EZConfig
import Data.Monoid
import System.Exit
import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W
import qualified Data.Map as M
MyKeys conf@(XConfig {XMonad.modMask = modm}) = M.fromList $
[((0, XF86MonBrightnessUp), spawn "xbacklight +20")
,((0, XF86MonBrightnessDown), spawn "xbacklight -20")
,((0, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), spawn "amixer set Master 1+ unmute")
,((0, XF86AudioLowerVolume), spawn "amixer set Master 1- unmute")
main=xmonad defaults
-- use the defaults exepct for super instead of alt mod and the special keys
defaults=defaultConfig{
modMask =mod4Mask
,keys =MyKeys
So as could could guess, I just want to my the keys so that I can adjust volume and backlight. The keys I got with xev so these should be correct.
So when I try xmonad --recompile this error shows up.
Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs

I'd really appreciate _any_ help since I can't see any significant difference to the linked page(except for cutting-out a lot and filling in my special keys )
Greetings
Edit: Here's the output of xev for the keys, perhaps it help any way:

The first difference is that you wrote 'MyKeys' with an uppercase M. Variable/function names cannot start with an uppercase letter; that's reserved for type and data constructors.
The second problem is the key bindings themselves. Your list is completely different from that example. You probably imported XMonad.Util.EZConfig to use the "emacs style" key descriptions, but you're mixing the two styles. You can only generate a Map (of the right type) with fromList if you use the same format as that example. Look at the documentation for the EZConfig module to see how the shorter string descriptions should be used. The part
keys = \c ->
in that example is basically the same as your
myKeys conf@(XConfig {XMonad.modMask = modm}) =
. The difference is that you're unpacking the conf/c value to extract the modMask (binding it to the name modm) but you're not using modm anywhere in your list of keybindings, so you dont need the @(..) part. And you don't need it anyway, because you can use a string starting with "M-" (in emacs-style key descriptions) to define a binding that uses the mod key (see examples).
Hey, thanks a lot for your fast and extensive answer, however I still couldn't get it working. Stupid me.
So, tried using the style of this example:
keys = \c -> mkKeymap c $
[ ("M-S-<Return>", spawn $ terminal c)
, ("M-x w", spawn "xmessage 'woohoo!'") -- type mod+x then w to pop up 'woohoo!'
, ("M-x y", spawn "xmessage 'yay!'") -- type mod+x then y to pop up 'yay!'
, ("M-S-c", kill)
and since I don't want to pres the mod key, just the mediakeys themselfes I thought I could directly write
..."<Mediakey>", spawn ...
But my code still won't work, but I get a new fancy error log:
Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
xmonad.hs:24:26:
Couldn't match type `[Char]' with `(ButtonMask, KeySym)'
Expected type: XConfig Layout -> M.Map (ButtonMask, KeySym) (X ())
Actual type: XConfig Layout -> M.Map [Char] (X ())
In the `keys' field of a record
In the expression:
defaultConfig {modMask = mod4Mask, keys = myKeys}
In an equation for `defaults':
defaults = defaultConfig {modMask = mod4Mask, keys = myKeys}
Please check the file for errors.
So apparently I don't use the right type since I was using the type char. However if I compare my code to the example I don't find a significan't difference(for the keymapping himself) except for not using the modkey. Is this perhaps the mistake? Doesen't this work without the modkey?
