I want to record a keyboard connected by usb port and only sound like an ambient microphone. What configuration is wrong? Thank you
The optimum choice is to format it ExFAT, but do so on the PC, not the Mac. Alternatively, you can make two partitions - one for the Mac; one for the PC. Partition the drive using GUID when you make the two partitions. Format one using Mac OS Extended, Journaled. Format the other on your PC using NTFS if you won't need to write to it from the OS X side or use ExFAT if you do.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) you will use for Windows from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to MSDOS.
6. Click on the Erase button.
When you connect the drive to your PC reformat the PC volume to either NTFS or ExFAT. -
wake up at the login screen of lion. It is almost like the whole screen is painted grey and moving my mouse side to side is like an erase fuction that reveals the login area one little square at a time. Similar to other posts.
I was so frustrated I call the Apple Tech Support and they walked me through. It has been doing great. The screen still turns black but now, when I touch the mouse or touch pad, I get the password prompt. The Apple Store did not help but talking the the Apple Tech has helped a lot. Thank you.

i wanted to ask whether the camera for ipod touch comparable to a digital camera? if not are there apps available that can turn it into a digital camera? i want to buy an ipod touch and i like photography....what should i do? plz suggest
The iPod touch has a very rudimentary camera. It has only a 0.6 MP resolution, no optical zoom, no flash, etc. There is no app that can improve this as it is limited by the hardware. So it is not a replacement for a digital camera (nor even for an iPhone whose camera has a 5.0 MP resolution.

Hi . I am using a carrier that is not listed in my country which is Saudi Arabia and I'm using Mobily line it won't work with me ..what should I do ?
Contact that carrier's technical support people. It sounds like your issue is with that specific carrier, so only they will be able to help you make a particular device work on their network.
P.S. if you mean you bought a phone from Mobily and are trying to use it with another carrier, you cannot. A mobily phone will be locked to mobily, and according to Apple's list, they do not offer unlocking of their iPhones (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937). -

Resolve communication issues
Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.
Common errors: 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, or 3000-3999. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software", or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build". -

I have synced my IPhone 3GS to the newest iTunes version to get IMessage, it worked for a while but now it doesn't work and I have tried resyncing my phone but it still doesn't work. what should I do?
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.
