Probable fix for low DDR bandwidth

Sisoft results
SPD 2.5-3-3-8   4,325MB   manual SPD setting
SPD 2-2-3-5     4,267MB   manual SPD setting
SPD 2.5-4-4-8   4,645MB   High performance SPD auto CPUID reports actual SPD 2.5-3-3-8  on my NEO2-S BIOS 1.2 twinmos pc3200
It seems that any manual settings on SPD causes the DDR bandwidth to decrease. There are some bugs in BIOS with these boards, as u can see SPD auto is 2.5-4-4-8 but CPUID says it's 2.5-3-3-8!!! Try setting high performance and leave SPD as auto to fix the problem.
MSI certainly knows about this problem, as BIOS 1.33beta trys to fix this SPD setting issue. Maybe that's why there's no PAT and D.O.T for most boards as this is a bigger concern!
Before the fix, OCing was dismal @208FSB limit. Now OCing @215FSB and going higher after fix. sisoft 4,864MB!!
Hopefully MSI will resolve this issue and give us what we paid for.
All MSI'er pls report in this thread whether this fix helps.
Any other fixes that help increase performance are also welcome.
Note: I never posted before, always receving and never giving. Becos of the wonderful contributions by others that resolved my many issues and thus making my computing experience a better one. Here's my thanks to all who spent their time and effort to help others. Also thanks to ad hoc  and his thread on Interesting results with SPD settings and my NEO2 FIS2R for the fix.

Hmmm....it seems that nobody is trying out this method or willing to share. Sad.
Anyway, just got back from work i flashed with BIOS 1.33beta. Set high performance, SPD auto. It showed 2.5-4-4-8, hey this BIOS ver was suppose to fix the SPD timming!!! Heck it, booted up to windows to check the actual SPD timming using CPU-Z. WOW,  
with ver 1.2 it showed 2.5.3-3-8, with ver 1.33beta it was an amazing 2.5-2-3-5. Immediately started sisoft and this was the results
Int buffered - 4,986!!!
Float buffered - 4,991!!!
That's an increase of 700mb!!! All this after the fix!!! Can't wait for the final fix!!!
MSI is finally getting it right. Now for PAT and D.O.T

  • FIX for low volume, sort of....

    I finally broke down and called tech support last night about the low volume issues I was having. The music and videos are all loud enough and when using the headset and/or headphones but calls, speakerphone and voice mail are all very low even when turned all the way up. To listen to the VMails I had to hold the bottom of the phone near my ear.
    When on the phone he told me to hold down the top button and the home key which I had done before but I always stopped when the slide to turn off appeared. He said to hold both down until the "apple logo" appeared. I did this twice.
    I did this and my volume increased by about 10-15% for the calls, speaker phone and VMail increased about 25% same for the music and videos. I can now hear the Vmails comfortably holding the iPhone about 2' in front of me no more holding it to my ear. The music and videos are now so loud that I dont have to turn it up past about half way.
    The volume for calls could still be a little louder as I still have it maxed out but that to is much better than before.
    He also asked if I used a case and I said yes but it didnt block the speaker. He asked me to remove the case as the entire bottom piece of the iPhone is thinner and a different material and allows sound through "in a way". I thought he was crazy but I removed my case and viola another nice volume increase for the VM, speakerphone, music and videos.

    Thanks, pool_shark and Tidbits.  I guess I'll have to wait for the 4.03 update.  I keep my volume at maximum.  I had a Plantronics bluetooth when I got the phone, have since purchased a Jawbone, a newer Plantronics, and a Blue Ant.  Have returned the first two and will return the Blue Ant if I don't get the update before the return period is over.  This is really frustrating, but at least it's good to know Google is working on a fix.

  • I've only had my iphone 5s for a week. I keep getting an error message of "Server has stopped responding."  I need the server to work. Does anyone know if there is a "fix" for the problem? Other wise, I probably best return for a refund and get a Samsung.

    Unlikely.  Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
    Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone.

  • Hi, Just bought an ipod classic 160gb and i notice that when I turn the volume down all the way, music is still heard, i.e. I cannot turn it down lower than a certain volume. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

    I've got a feeling that's the way it is. I know that if I turn the volume down all the way, I can still hear the music very softly -- which is great for listening when I have a migraine!

  • My iPad makes a high low high tune every fifteen to twenty minutes, anyone know of this and have a fix for this annoying sound.

    My iPad makes a high low high tune every fifteen to twenty minutes, anyone know of this and have a fix for this annoying sound.

    I Also have this problem!!
    In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason.  At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident.  Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed.  Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
    I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees).  Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!!  Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

  • Mid 2010 MacBook pro took a keyboard spill.  It still works but display is sooo dark - like no backlight.  I think this is an LED screen.  Does anyone know the fix for this?

    Hi all...  My mid 2010 MacBook Pro took a keyboard spill.  It still works but the display is very very dark.  A faint image can only be seen at an angle in very bright light.  I think this model has an LED screen.  Can anyone please tell me what the fix for this is?  Thank you sooooo much!

    Spill Cleaning
    Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
    Do
    Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
    Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
    Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
    Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
    Note what was spilled on your Mac.
    Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
    Don't
    Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
    Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
    Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).

  • Itunes artwork display issue and a fix for  'unknown error occured (-50)'

    Too bad they dont have stickies. This would be a great one.
    This is a thorough fix for art work and the -50 error.
    If you see artwork in itunes, first verify that the artwork is in the mp3 tag using a program like "tag and rename" http://www.softdepia.com/tagrename_download1291.html
    If the artwork shows up in tag and rename, then you added it correctly.
    If the artwork isn't displaying on ipod, delete the song and retransfer to the ipod. Next make sure the "view artwork" check box is checked. To do this connect your iPod to iTunes and there will be a checkbox that should be checked to see if you want artwork to show up on your iPod.
    If you get this message -
    The ipod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50).
    And have no artwork at all in you IPOD , dont fret. I am getting there..
    NO you DO NOT NEED to FORMAT YOUR IPOD YET as commonly posted. I have tested and retested the following fix-
    Eject IPOD. Kill ITUNES.
    Backup the following files
    iTunes Library.itl
    iTunes Music Library.xml
    & anything in the Previous Itunes library folder
    and delete them. More info on these at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
    Dont worry, its much easier to recreate the database than to wipe your IPOD.
    Next Start up ITUNES. Plug in IPOD. You now should have a empty database.
    At this time, uncheck copy ARTWORK to IPOD, and when it's done deleting artwork, CHECK Copy ARTWORK to IPOD.
    It now should sucessfully display ARTWORK and not get the -50 error!!
    Now, goto you ITUNES Music folder and drag to the library and it will add you music back in, including your PODCASTS.
    All you need to do is click the RESUBSCRIBE button and you are back in business!
    IF this fails, which i cant DUPLICATE anymore, try this
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300248
    Its the DREADED IPOD FORMAT article.
    But you probably wont need it if you follow all these steps.
    Post back if this doesnt work and if it does, give me some credit;)

    Just as an fyi, to shorten this procedure instead of deleting the files i found out you and open the .itl files and delete all the lines in it so its an empty file.
    Then open itunes, and it will rebuild the database with the files from the .xml file.
    This saves you from having to rescan the songs..

  • A "FIX" for Users of PC Suite 6.83 and Removing th...

    To conduct the fix immediately, just skip down to about the 3rd paragraph below called "The FIX" for me! This other stuff is some backgroung I wanted to give.
    Bottomline...6.83 has a serious problem when you istall it, and I spoke with a Nokia technical rep 2 days ago and he confirmed it. Unfortunately, Nokia doesn't have a clue to what is the root cause problem. The Nokia rep recommended that I "NOT" use version 6.83. Since they are having so many issues with it, I don't understand why they don't just remove it from their website? No matter what you try you will not get it to work properly!
    Now when you try to uninstall 6.83, you also get into trouble. You can unistall the PC Suite 6.83 core application , but the cable driver portion remains. Now when you try to remove the cable driver, under ADD / REMOVE Programs, you get the following error" The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". Again, the Nokia rep was clueless as to why I was receiving the error message and had no additional help for me in removing the cable driver. It just seemed no matter what I tried I could not remove the cable driver nor could I reinstall PC Suite either version 6.83 or 6.82. Finally, last night I stumbled upon a note from another digruntled nokia 6.83 user that led me to search the following Microsoft info regarding a little program called "Windows Installer Cleanup Utility".
    My setup:
    Phone - Nokia 9300
    Cable - Nokia DKU-2
    PC Suite - 6.83
    PC OS - Win XP SP2
    "THE FIX" for me:
    1. Go to (ADD / Remove Programs) and uninstall PC Suite 6.83. This only removes the core program and "not" the cable driver
    2. Now go to the following MS website and download and Run the "Windows Installer Cleanup Utility".
    (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe)
    Once you download this small MS utility, go down to my item #3 below for further immediate instructions!
    Article ID : 290301
    Last Review : November 13, 2006
    Revision : 5.1
    This article was previously published under Q290301
    Warning The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is provided "as is" to help resolve installation problems for programs that use Microsoft Windows Installer. If you use this utility, you may have to reinstall other programs. Caution is advised.
    On This Page
    SUMMARY
    Microsoft has updated the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. With the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, you can remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information. You may want to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program if you experience installation (Setup) problems. For example, you may have to remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information if you have installation problems when you try to add (or remove) a component of your program that was not included when you first installed your program.
    The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not perform the following functions: • Remove Windows Installer
    • Remove files of any programs that are installed by Windows Installer, such as Microsoft Office 2003
    The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does perform the following functions: • Provides a dialog box in which you can select one or more programs that were installed by Windows Installer
    To do this, select the programs that you want in the Installed Products list in the Windows Installer CleanUp dialog box. After you make this selection, the utility removes only the Windows Installer configuration information that is related to those programs.
    • Removes the files and registry settings that make up the Windows Installer configuration information for programs that you select
    If you use this utility to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program and you plan to reinstall the program, you should reinstall the program in the same folder where you originally installed it. This prevents duplication of files on your hard disk or disks.
    Back to the top
    MORE INFORMATION
    This version of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility works correctly in all 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows. The 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows are as follows: • Microsoft Windows Vista
    • Microsoft Windows Server 2003
    • Microsoft Windows XP
    • Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
    • Microsoft Windows 2000
    • Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or later
    • Microsoft Windows 98
    • Microsoft Windows 95
    This version of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility works correctly in all 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows. The 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows are as follows:• Microsoft Windows Server 2003
    • Microsoft Windows XP
    • Microsoft Windows Vista
    The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:
    Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility package now. (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe)
    Back to the top
    3. Now go to START/PROGRAMS/Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. When you run this utility, a window will open up that lists all the of the programs that you have installed. It looks a little bit like the add/remove program window. Now Select the "Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver" and the "PC Connectivity Solution programs, then run the utility. It only takes about 15-30 seconds to run.
    4. Now go back to the Add /Remove Programs in Control Panel and try and remove "Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver" and the "PC Connectivity Solution programs now. They should now uninstall!
    5. Next I restarted my computer.
    6. DO NOT install 6.83!!!!
    7. Now go to Nokia website and download PC Suite version 6.82_rel_22:
    http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/software/Nokia_PC_Suite_682_rel_22_0_eng_us_web.ms...
    7. You should now be back in business with a working version of PC Suite.
    It is obvious that there is a serious issue with the cable driver portion of 6.83 that corrupts MS Windows Installer program during the install process. Even though you initially can install 6.83, the cable driver is messed up. Also, you can't then uninstall the cable driver unless you run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility.
    After a month of fighting this issue, the Windows Installer Cleanup utility was the key to clearing the conflict of the cable driver. Unfortunately, 6.83 has a serious issue with the cable driver.
    Good luck everyone...Sorry for being long winded!

    Hi diving_catch
    Just wanted to say a big thank you as a large number of forum members are having grief over this one!
    Might I add that I was happily using 6.82 rel_22.0 until NSU decided that it was time to update........you guessed PCSuite no longer worked. On Xp I uninstalled PC Suite + Nokia Connectivity Driver, installed and ran Nokia PC Suite Cleaner - option clean-up computer, rebooted and at least for now 6.83 v14.1 seems to function with N95. As no updates are available yet I haven't installed Nokia Software Updater!
    Many thanks also for the link to PC Suite 6.82 rel_22.0 as I shall probably need this soon.
    Interesting for Nokia comment as it's successor is currently out beta testing!
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • A FIX for iPhoto 11 opening older libraries

    Had the same problem everyone else has had. Then I was thunk in the forehead by an obvious trick. I use iPhoto Library manager. I opened IPLM and and clicked on the icon for creating a NEW LIBRARY (upper left corner of IPLM screen). I named it TestLibrary. I then launched this new file from within IPLM -- and iPhoto 11 (v 9.1) opened! That is, the app opened with a new library that contained no pictures. I dragged a couple of test jpg's into the library. Then I quit and reopened TestLibrary several times, to make sure I wasn't counting my chickens too soon. TestLibrary opened fine each time. I then quit IPLM and went directly to my picture libraries in the Pictures folder and launched them from the finder. EACH AND EVERYONE OPENED! They not only opened but iPhoto 11 performed the "update" function very quickly, even on the larger libraries. Again, I quit and reopened the files several times to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
    I suspect the IPLM manager may be partially culpable. I note that many people who posted this problem also use IPLM.
    FYI: I figured out this fix while standing here at a counter in my local Apple Store (Leawood, KS). The floor sales rep who tried to help me earlier -- a cute and very friendly blonde with a killer smile -- had no idea about the iPhoto problem. But she was very kind and took my emil address and set me up for a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow. I'm looking all over the store now for her. nowto share my success -- but she has wandered off. Rats. She really is cute; I'm single. Which is none of your business. Where was I? Oh yeah. Before Ms. Cute saleswoman wandered off and aftyr my heart rate returned to normal, I decided to experiment a little more. That's when I came up with the idea of using IPLM to create a blank new file. Getting ready to leave now. ..... NEW UPDATE: I finally spotted the very nice (and very cute) Apple saleswoman who had been helping me. Some other customer was flirting with her, pretending that he didn't know a thing about his new laptop. Rightttttt... I interrupted and asked her for a dance. Just kidding. I told her I had fixed my iPhoto libraries. She smiled, nodded, said "GREAT!" I melted. I offered to hang around a few minutes in case she wanted to come over and see how I fixed iPhoto. While waiting for her I thought I should type this and post it on the Forum. The very nice (and BEYOND cute) saleswoman still hasn't stopped by yet. I will wait a few more minutes. I'm in love. But the store is very busy. I will wait a few more minutes. I am realllly in love. Did I mention she was cute and very polite? Gotta go now. Perhaps Ms. Cuteness and I will meet in another time, place or dimension. After all, she has my name an email address. Maybe she'll send an email later and ask me for a date — strictly for professional and technical information purposes, of course; to find out how I fixed the iPhoto problem so that she can share it with other staff and customers. She probably won't, which means other Mac owners who wander in today with the same iPhoto problem will also fall in love with Ms. Cute but they won't learn a darn thing about my iPhoto fix. That kind of customer relations conduct would normally make me very angry. But nothing is normal anymore. It's hard to be angry when you're madly in love. -- David

    iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -
    Update 10/24: I released a quick 3.5.8 update yesterday, which doesn’t yet provide full iPhoto ‘11 compatibility, but does provide a couple improvements for iPhoto ‘11 users, including a fix for those experiencing the issue of being unable to reopen a library after upgrading it to the new iPhoto version. If you have such a library, simply open the library up via iPLM, and you should be prompted by iPhoto to upgrade the library again. Once it’s complete, you should then be able to close and reopen the library normally.

  • Why Won't Apple Announce Fix for 'No disc burner...'

    Sorry. I guess I wasn't clear. I was asking for a link to this official news from Apple. If it is official, it seems like Apple should declare that publicly. My guess is that they probably have, but I can't find it.
    Since I already have installed, removed and reinstalled the prior version so many times, I just want to see something from Apple first. Thanks again for your help.

    Hi Rich,
    Jeff, here from the iTunes Store. Well I have great news for you today! Our engineers have released the official news that the issue you have been experiencing with CD burning has been resolved in iTunes 8.1.1. This being said, please install iTunes 8.1.1, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Furthermore, I have issued an additional five song credits to your "[email protected]" iTunes Store account, for the inconvenience and your tremendous amount of patience and understanding. You can use these to buy the individual songs of your choice from the iTunes Store.
    When you next sign in with this account, the song credits will appear by your account name (in the upper-right section of the iTunes Store). The next individual song you buy from the iTunes Store will use one of your song credits instead of your primary form of payment (until all credits have been used or have expired). Please note that song credits cannot be used for purchasing songs that are listed as "Album Only."
    If you don't see your credits, refresh your account information by signing out and back in to the iTunes Store. You can find both "Sign Out" and "Sign In" within the pull-down "Store" menu. If you don't see this menu, you should need only download the latest version of iTunes from our website for free:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know and I would be more than happy to address them for you. Thank you very much for being part of the iTunes Store family, Phil, and I hope you have a great day.
    With Warm Regards,
    Jeff

    Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to assist you. You may receive an AppleCare survey email; any feedback you provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, but I am going to wait until Apple tells me it has discovered a solution to this problem caused by the previous version of iTunes. As you say, you have engineers working very hard on this now, so I am hoping this will not be much longer.

    Hi Rich,
    Jeff, here from the iTunes Store. Wow, very sorry for the "Marlene" mixup, it's been a long day! In response to your question, our engineers have not released an official fix at this point. However, I don't like to see customer's unable to utilize the application to its full potential, and therefore I wanted to provide you with every last bit of information that may prove helpful.
    I am not promising that upgrading to 8.1.1 will work, however some customer's have been able to resolve this issue by doing so, and therefore I felt I should pass the information along to you.
    Once again, I apologize for the mixup Rich. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know and I would be more than happy to address them for you. Thank you very much for being part of the iTunes Store family, and I hope you have a great day.

    Marlene? Not sure what that is about. Before installing 8.1.1, let me ask: Is this Apple's official fix, or have some people just coincidentally had some luck? I'd like to hear something officially from Apple.

    Hi Rich,
    Jeff, here from the iTunes Store again! Now although this issue has not officially been resolved yet, I have some new information which may help. It appears that some customer's have been able to resolve this CD burning issue by downloading and installing the new release of iTunes 8.1.1. It can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    I would like to ask that you try downloading this new software, and then responding to this email to let me know how you make out! You may also be automatically prompted to upgrade to iTunes 8.1.1 when you open the iTunes Application, which will lead you through the same process.
    I have retained your request to ensure that I receive your reply and can make sure this gets resolved for you, Marlene. Thank you very much for being part of the iTunes Store family, and I hope you have a great day.
    With Warm Regards,
    Jeff

    Jeff:
    Thanks, but as you might imagine, I am reluctant to download another version of iTunes when the last one led to these problems. My CD-DVD burner doesn't work properly since the last download. In fact, I had just imported some old 8mm videos of the family, and was going to burn those to a DVD for my father-in-law's birthday. Couldn't get it working, though. It's too bad, because I had been considering replacing my five year old PC with an iMac. However, I could get this kind of functionality with Microsoft.

    Dear Rich,
    Jeff, here from the iTunes Store. Please note that you still have full access to your purchased music, and can still transfer your purchases to an iPod if you have one. I am very sorry for the inconvenience, however Apple's engineers are working very hard towards a resolution for this issue.
    I cannot offer a refund for the purchases you have made this year, however I have taken the liberty of issuing five complimentary song credits to your iTunes Store account "[email protected]".
    When you next sign in with this account, the song credits will appear by your account name (in the upper-right section of the iTunes Store). The next individual song you buy from the iTunes Store will use one of your song credits instead of your primary form of payment (until all credits have been used or have expired). Please note that song credits cannot be used for purchasing songs that are listed as "Album Only."
    If you don't see your credits, refresh your account information by signing out and back in to the iTunes Store. You can find both "Sign Out" and "Sign In" within the pull-down "Store" menu. If you don't see this menu, you should need only download the latest version of iTunes from our website for free:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience, however I will email you as soon as I have more information for you. Thank you for your patience and understanding, Rich, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

    Jeff:
    Since time line is so hazy on resolution, how about thiis:
    A refund for all my downloaded songs this year. After this is fixed, then Apple can charge my account again. This way, neither of us gets something for nothing.

    I'd like to know who Marlene is....oh wait, it was a mixup.
    I suspect these posts will be deleted.
    It's every software company's answer to everything - upgrade to the latest version.
    And for good reason, the bugs they know about get fixed, while introducing new ones. Not on purpose, of course, it just happens.

  • Closed captioning for video no longer works for iPhone 4 since iOS 5.0 update. Is there a fix for this?

    Closed captioning while video-playing is one of the coolest features of iOS devices. But for my iPhone (and an iPad user elsewhere from the Net), ever since I updated to iOS 5, the closed captioning icon no longer appear amongst the list of icons when you play a video WITH a closed caption capability.
    I have played videos with closed captions before prior to iOS updates and been having no problems till I tried with iOS 5.
    I tried turning the setting on/off in the Videos Settings, tried deleting and re-adding the video to the phone and also rebooted the phone.
    Hoped someone could find a fix for this. The community can try it on iOS 5 and see if it is also an issue for them since I haven't seen but rarely people having this issue i'm having.

    My son has a similar problem since updating to the latest software on his iphone 4. He can make calls but the other person can't hear him. Facetime and Skype work fine - so it must be the lower microphone that is the problem. He's had it checked at the Apple store in Chiang Mai but they won't fix it - he has to get it back to the UK for service. It's 2 months over the warranty period but having checked around it seems this problem is widespread and Apple need to sort it fast!
    I've updated mine and it's fine - but I'm gonna take out applecare before the warranty runs out as I'm not risking having a £495 phone that I can't use as a phone.
    I was thinking of buying one for my wife this Xmas but no way whilst they are having so many problems.
    COME ON APPLE - GET THIS FIXED WITH A NEW RELEASE ASAP!

  • Is there a fix for skipping or repeating songs, or for the voice over to come on without pushing any buttons?

    Is there a fix for skipping or repeating songs, or for the voice over to come on without pushing any buttons?
    I only use this 5th generation Shuffle when I run. I don't have headphone issues because I use running headphones meant to handle sweat. However, my Shuffle will, halfway through a song, go back to the beginning, play a few seconds and jump back to the beginning again. Also, when this starts happening, the Voice-over comes on again and again with no buttons being pushed. I keep the Shuffled clipped to the waistband of my running shorts, so it probably does get a little sweatty, but not like it would if it were clipped to the collar of my shirt!
    Is this a problem I'm going to have to live with? I never had this issue with my old Shuffle, which was the first of the clip-on Sheffles.

    Hi punisherbv,
    Are you using the beta? it's not fully secure, so try using Firefox 3 instead. If you are already using Firefox 3, it seems like what Firefox is saying is correct- the site is not supplying identity information. So what you could do is go to that exact site, then click on the little golden lock at the very corner of the page. Then, enter the 'permissions' tab and allow everything. Exit, and then try bookmarking the page!
