Now this should be an easy one !! IPOD Software needs reinstalling...

Hello
I have an IPOD Nano, and it was installed on my PC, an
IBM 266 Laptop, with Windows XP Pro. Unfortunately a problem has occurred.. I now find on clicking the itunes icon that "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
I have tried to reinstall from the Control Panel, and have done what I thought was a complete reinstall, but still the same message comes back. I suspect that Quicktime is not properly installed. The only option seems to me to
manually delete every ipod file, until the computer is clear, then reinstall. The only problem is, I don't want to lose the music files that are already on the Nano.
Can anyone advise, please ?
Windows XP

> Removing iTunes will not remove anything from the
iPod (especiaslly if it's not connected).
Removing iTunes will also not delete any music files
from the computer.
Use Control Panel to remove iTunes.
Restart the computer, then reinstall it.
Thanks Chris for your prompt reply !, but won't removing itunes from my computer also delete the synchronised library, meaning that when I reinstall, and then reconnect the ipod to the computer, it will lead to the files on the ipod being deleted ?
Kind regards
Peter

JSPs reference to JPEGs .. this should be an easy one!

Hi,
We are moving our 6.20 java apps to NW04S J2EE apps. So, we have created EJB, Web and EAR projects for this.
In NWDS, we have used Import File to bring in all of our JSPs. NWDS stores them under the webContent folder in the Web project. Each JSP refers to /DCT/images/<filename>.jpg.
We have also used Import File to bring in the 6.20 images folder. In the project it is under /webContent/DCT/images.
When we preview the JSPs, the images do not show up unless we change the reference in the JSP to DCT/images<filename.jpg (no leading slash). Since there are so many JSPs we do not want to change the references in the JSPs.
Two issues we found:
1. We can only create a folder structure under webContent. It seemed to us that we would need to create /DCT/images at the project root.
2. In preview mode, when we right click -> propeties on the missing jpgs it says the jpg should be at c:\DCT\images. It is completly ignoring the file structure of our project.
Any clues to this mystery would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers ... Bart

If you link directly to a PDF, and the user has Adobe Acrobat
installed
(which the vast majority do), it will open within the browser
in Acrobat
Reader. The user can then choose to click the Save button and
save it to
whatever location he wants.
This should be fine for a restaurant menu. This was, the user
can look at
the menu online to his heart's content, and only save it if
he really wants
to have a local copy. (You might include, near the link, a
very brief
one-line instruction.)
> I would like for the dialog box to open (Save file
> as) and the file be saved on the visitors computer.
If that's what you really want, you can zip the PDF into a
zip file, and
link to the zip file. That way, the user will get the dialog
box that you
want.

This should be an easy one for you experts ;-)

Just took my vintage 2009 Macbook pro that was having trouble running Lion back down to Snow Leopard. (formatted drive and reloaded SL) How do I get iPhoto, Garage Band, Imovie etc.... in other words the apps that came installed on my 2009 machine when I bought it. They aren't part of the SL install.
No need to be concerned about my user data/settings/other apps etc... I migrated them over to a new Macbook pro I just purchased using a Time Machine backup. (worked wonderfully) but as I'm sure you know moving anything from a Lion TM backup to a SL machine isn't possible. I've heard there are ways but it's complicated and well all I really want is my 2009 machine to be like it was new and I'll I need for that is what I believe is the iLife stuff (again iPhoto, Garageband, iMovie etc...)

Thanks for the quick reply wjosten! I didn't get any disks with my computer. I bought it new from the online apple store.. I still have the original box it came in, user guide etc...it came loaded with Leopard but no disks. I had the SL disk as I purchased it to upgrade ( I know I could have downloaded it for free but I wanted a disk for the exact reason as for how I just used it to reinstall SL in case I needed to someday). In fact, I just bought a 2012 MacBook Pro, picked it up at my local Apple store and it did not come with any disks, same as before, it came with power cord, user guide, cleaning cloth, but no disks. I can understand that apple saves money, time, resources and environmental material by not including disks, but they should make it easy to download these things when you are in trouble and not charge even a small fee. I paid for these apps and merely want to reinstall them on the same machine they orignally came with.

New to MAC -help with previous systems folder -this should be an easy one!

My PowerBook G4 (running Leopard) recently crashed due to some corrupt files, per the Genius Bar. I got it up and running with the Leopard upgrade disc as they recommended. Everything went well and on the HD it created a "Previous Systems" folder and everything is in there... (old applications, documents, etc. ... Now what do I do?
Do I just run the applications (iWork, MS Office, Adobe products, etc.) from that "Previous Systems" folder or should I drag and drop them to the new applications folder, or is it better to delete and reinstall all the programs again? And if I have already opened some of the applications from the Previous Systems" folder will this prevent me from moving them.
I just want to clean up my laptop and keep it simple... What is the safe and easy thing to do?
Thanks for all the help... this site is what influenced me to switch from PC to MAC !

I have an iMac and a Macbook, both with different AIM accounts. Using the same network at home I can chat easily between the two. However, when I bring the macbook to school, which has a different network (which works perfectly and I have never had a problem with and is connected when I open iChat) iChat can't seem to connect with it and it times out. I think it's just a setting or preference I'm not changing. Any help? Thanks.

Awesome, that worked. Thank you. Just a note for anyone else who may be looking for a similar solution: in Edit->Preferences->Javascript ensure the checkmark is there in the "Enable menu items JavaScript Execution privileges" option, or else you will get an internal error, with the debugger telling you security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Edit: In Acrobat X at least. 9 doesn't need it, and I do not have access to XI.

This should be an easy one... Where is IDVD located?

I bought my MacBook 2 months ago and have all original disks but none clearly comes up with IDVD plainly labeled.... My IDVD bounces on the bottom, has the header but will not load up...

Thanks!

Hi! How can I change the shipping address for the program of replacement of the 1 generation ipod nano? I've already received the empty box and now I should send back the old ipod but I'd like to receive the new one to another address. Thank you.

I would contact Apple directly and have them work with to get the iPod shipped to a new/different address.

You say you have iOS 7 beta. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum

HT1459 Serial number is faded and too small to read. Itunes will not recognize my IPod Classic. How can I delete the current iPod software and reinstall it to see if this would solve the problem?

I recently upgraded my Itunes softeware, now itunes will not recognize my IPod Classic. If I delete the current IPod software and reinstall it, would this solve the problem, and if so, I'll need step by step instruction.

Yep.

It appears that SANmp is indeed the most likely source of your problem.

When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database. Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer. If you have one that matches that it will label it. You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.

I've updated my Firefox to 6.0.1 and now have problems when viewing/accessing one of Software Vendors. How can I undo that latest update?

I am trying to access my Template on Proxibid's Auctioneer website and the Firefox screen goes away, showing me my wallpaper, then it comes back and says Firefox is not responding, then it suddenly displays a full screen of HTML. I spoke with Proxibid - they suggest I undo the latest update, as this problem began after that update. I need to know how to do that.
IE works on the Proxibid site, but I REALLY don't want to use it...

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

IPod Software - needed after update?

Quick question about the iPod software updater. Does anyone know if I really need it on my computer to run my iPod on the computer? It takes up 171 MB on my work computer and I think that's what is slowing the computer down. It's by far the largest file on the computer.
Also -is it okay to delete the old updates? They also take up 170+ MB.
Cheers.

You need the current one on your computer (2006-06-28). Keep it there.
You can uninstall the older iPod Updaters. The only "con" to this is that if you ever want to use an older version of iPod software (such as 1.0 or 1.1.1), you won't be able to.

IPod software needs to give more shuffle options

Hi,
I'm pretty sure current iPod software can't do this so I think what I'm posting here is an enhancement request. However if you know how I can achieve what I want I will love you forever!
My iPod listening time is split roughly 50/50 between Albums and Playlists. When I listen to an album I want the tracks to play in the proper order but when I choose a playlist I want the songs to be shuffled. Right now I have to manually change Settings... Shuffle every time and it's a real pain.
Apple: could we have more shuffle options such as
Shuffle:
Albums = No
Playlists = Songs
Thanks

You are correct, the iPod has no such setting.
