Linking an ipod mini without the disc....

Hi, I have a 4GB Ipod Mini that I have owned for a couple of years now. I have a new computer and want to link the Ipod to it but I can't find the disc that came with the Ipod. Is there any way to download a driver for the Ipod?
Any suggestions gratefully received!

You just need to download iTunes from the Apple website. The original discs that came with iPods contained a copy of the version of iTunes available at the time, an iPod Software Updater (which is now integrated with iTunes so is redundant) and a manual.

How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc

1a) Here is very useful article from PCWorld.com. The article is entitled "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" and means just what it says. The article also has links to Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder and legitimate Windows 7 ISOs from Digital River, a licensed distributor of Microsoft software. The article lists "Step 1" as;
"Find your Windows 7 product key: Typically this 25-character alphanumeric string is printed on a sticker affixed to your PC or on documentation included with your PC. Alternatively, you can use a keyfinder program such as Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to pull your product key from the Registry. You need your product key to reinstall Windows."
1b) Using a key finder, however, is only useful if the Windows 7 product key was printed on a sticker (Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity) affixed to your PC, on documentation included with your PC, or sent via email by Microsoft. Assuming your computer came from one of the big brand computer manufacturers... HP, Sony, Dell, Gateway, etc... as most do, it uses a generic "mass activation" OEM SLP key. Trying to use this key by itself isn't going to work. This OEM SLP key needs to be mated with an OEM SLP certificate and an appropriate OEM BIOS with a proper SLIC table.
1c) Here is where ABR Beta With Windows 7 Support comes to the rescue. Follow the "How to use it" section of ABR for Windows Vista for information and instructions on how to use ABR. The steps listed for Vista apply to Windows 7 as well. Perform the "activation backup" to "backup" and save the OEM SLP key and OEM SLP certificate. Save the entire ABR folder to an external location for later use. This will allow you to pre-activate your "clean" Windows 7 install on the computer you pulled the key and certificate from.
1d) Now install Windows 7 from your new "Windows 7" disc or USB stick, following all prompts as needed. Don't enter a Windows 7 product key if request. Also, don't allow Windows to try to auto-activate. Once Windows is fully installed, run ABR "activation restore" to "restore" the previously backed up product key and certificate to the new Windows 7 install. Verify that Windows is activated, repeat "activation restore" if needed.
2) Here is another useful article, this time from SevenForums.com. This arcticle is entitled "Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7" and provides detailed steps required to backup your computer, audit current hardware and software, locate software and drivers, install and activate Windows 7, and create a Windows 7 Backup Image of your fresh install.
Good luck.
Links to additional Windows 7 SP1 "Editions" and "Languages" can be found HERE and HERE.
Link to "ei.cfg Removal Utility". The "ei.cfg Removal Utility" is a simple tool that will remove the ei.cfg from any Windows ISO disc image, thereby converting the image into a "universal disc" that will prompt the user to select an edition during setup instead of being forced to use different discs for different versions of Windows 7.

ervis,
Before formatting the hard drive you should have been able to use the HP Recovery Manager to create your recovery discs or perform a system recovery. This is provided the recovery partition wasn't already corrupt or damaged. If the "D:" HP Recovery partition is missing or damaged and you don't have a set of HP Recovery Discs, you will need to use the information in my previous post to get your computer up and running again.
The information in the document referred you to applies to several different "types" of installations;
Using ABRbeta is only needed if you have an active OEM factory SLP (system locked preactivated) installation of Windows. You use ABR to pull the factory key and certificate off the computer, to reuse it on the same computer with a clean Windows install.
If you are just installing Windows and are going to use the Windows 7 product key on the COA on the side of your computer, all you need to do is download the same version of Windows that your key is for and burn the ISO. Now install Windows answering or following all prompts as needed (except do not enter the Windows product at this time... it will be entered later). Once Windows has completely installed, enter the key and activate it. Your Windows 7 OA key should work on a SP1 install without issue.
The only thing I see that could mess things up, is the language of the install. If you are still having trouble activating Windows, please reference the ISO you download and a post a photo of your Windows COA
with the key erased or Xed out.
Please send KUDOs

How do perform a factory reset on my iMAC7,1 without the disc?

I recently inherited a 2007 model iMAC model 7,1 operating the Mac OS X version 10.4.11 but I want to restore it to its factory settings. How do i accomplish this without the installment disc that originally came with the iMAC?

Without the disc you can't. If you want to revert to "factory" spec you need to contact 1-800-MY-APPLE and purchase a set of original factory discs. Understand that 10.4 is no longer supported by Apple and is quite obsolete. A better option is to purchase and install OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

I have recently installed Elements 12 on my computer. I have mislaid my disc for Elements 8 and an told that I cannot uninstall that programme without the disc. Is there an alternative way or can you supply any necessary software?

How can I get rid of Elements 8 without the disc?

Hi Eric,
There is no need to uninstall Elements 8 if you have Elements 12 installed on your system. However, if
you still wish to uninstall Elements 8, you can do that from Program and Features in Windows and Applications
folder in case of a Mac. You do not require a disc to uninstall a program.
Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

Can I use a Ipod Mini with the Nike running chip?!

I'm looking at buying a Ipod Mini, but I was told that it might not work with the chip in my running shoes from Nike! Is there anyone who knows if this is true or not!!

Can I use a Ipod Mini with the Nike running chip?!
No. Only the iPod nanos and the second generation iPod touch are compatible with it.

If you set up iCloud and enabled Find My iPod on your device, you can track in on icoud.com from a computer. See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.

The Find My iPhone APP has nothing to do with setting up the service on you ipod. It's used to find other los devices.
You needed to turn on Find My iPhone service in Settings>iCloud (near bottom of page). Without that you cannot locate the device.

Using iPod Mini in the car!

My boyfriend just got a new car and I want to get him something so he can use his iPod in the car. We used the tape adaptor in his old car, it wouldnt okay but he wants something better.
He is intrested in the iTrip but I have heard that it doesn't work that well. I want to know what you guys think - I am not looking for the cheapest solution. I want good quailty at a fairly reasonable price.
I see there are new iTrips with an LCD however they wont fit 'right' on the mini, they will work but will sit off center. There is another one coming out that uses the dock connector but then you can not charge it and listen at the same time.
I did find this on the apple site
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/canadastore.woa/70609/wo/cO2Xen orCQg32EU4hVM1tg9vqQG/2.SLID?mco=EF8F05F6&nplm=TC100LL%2FA
and it will fit nicely on top of the mini.
Anyway, any input would be nice!

b Various Methods to Connect to a Car Stereo System, or Listen to Your iPod in the Vehicle
b Best:
Direct connection via the dock connector or headphone jack of your iPod, to the mini-jack input (or AUX RCA input jacks) of your car stereo. Not many low/moderate-end cars have this feature yet, but it is becoming more popular. Some aftermarket auto stereo units may have this feature.
There are also some after-market, moderate to fairly expensive direct interfaces, that hook into your existing car stereo to provide a high-quality, direct connection. Most will also power/charge the iPod. Pretty slick, but can be pricey ($80-$300). If money is no object, a clean way to go. Not very portable from car to car if at all.

http://www.theistore.com/ipod2car.html
http://www.mp3yourcar.com/
b Better:
Connect your iPod to a cassette adaptor and play your tunes through your car's cassette player. Some new cars no longer come with a cassette player, so it may not be an option. It will provide even better audio quality if you can run the audio feed out of the dock connector (see the SendStation link below). Can be portable between cars that have a cassette player and also be used in your home cassette system.
b Good:
Attach an FM transmitter to your iPod and play the tunes through an unused FM station. Convenient, but wireless FM transmitter signals are susceptible to static and outside interference, and can vary in strength and quality depending on your location. Some noticeable degradation and distortion, depending on the quality of the transmitter, the sensitivity of your ears and the airwave congestion in your area. Highly portable between cars, and may be used in a home system. FM transmitters that need to be plugged into a DC auto jack may not work in a home environment (without some sort of adaptor).
b Marginal:
Attach an external speaker system to the iPod and play it in the car. Workable, but not too good - unless you spring for a $300+ Bose (or similar) system. But why? Only if your vehicle has no Stereo system, perhaps.
b Brave Techno-Geek:
This site gives some direction on adapting your own car stereo by yourself: http://www.whatsmyip.org/ipodrx8/ . Risky, but it has been successful.
Whichever you choose, power the iPod through your cars DC power -- either from a power adapter, or as part of the combined audio adaptor. Have a method to secure the iPod to the dash/console/etc. See the reviews for all the various accessories at the iLounge
You will also get better audio output if the dock connection plug is used, rather than the headphone jack. See this URL for a novel adaptor: https://www.sendstation.com/us/products/pd_lousb.html. Others types are also available via this site.
I have read positive and negative reviews of each method, and within method there are great variations in performance of different manufacture's systems and peoples opinions of their performance. Some cassette adaptors/FM transmitters work poorly, some better.
FWIW: I have the iTrip Mini & the Newer Technology RoadTrip!+ FM transmitters, a Belkin cassette adaptor (used both with & w/out the PocketDock) and two vehicles with the BlitzSafe direct interface. Using the same song in the same car, I found that the FM transmitters worked, but not as good as the cassette adapter via the headphone jack. Using the PocketDock on the cassette adapter resulted in a significant audio quality improvement. As expected, the Blitzsafe direct connect was exceptionally better than everything else: less tinny, a more warmer/richer sound, and close to true CD quality.

A second Ipod mini in the house

I just purchased a second Ipod Mini and want to move everything from the first unit the the second. Can't figure out how to make it happen.
Please help.

Assuming that the music is no longer in iTunes (which is a very bad idea), use the options from this link to get it back from the first iPod.
MacMuse, "Computer Crashed" #4, 11:49pm Feb 7, 2005 CDT
Once it's in iTunes, simply sync the second iPod as normal.
