Should I reformat rather than just restore. If so how do I reformat?

I can't synch or manually transfer more than 100 songs to my Itouch. It's a Third Gen 32G. At one point I had over 1,000 songs on it. My pictures are also distorted. I've tried restore several times, I've been to the Apple store and followed their directions and have scoured these forums and nothing works. It looks like the device is hoplessly confused and can't synch or hold anything. Rather than just restore do I need to reformat the device through the PC? The Itouch was been working fine until I tried to sych an audio book by mistake and that folder was empty. Any help would be appreciated, I've been working on this for about 2 weeks and am unable to come up with a solution. I keep hoping maybe it's just one checkbox in ITunes that needs to be clicked on......

There is no reformat.
Restore as new is the closest thing.

Close tab groups actually closes tabs rather than just the grouping. How do I recover all tabs, not just the last 10? Pages and tabs are not in recent history.

I had a problem with tab groups - if I mistakenly close tab groups, I can only recover the last 10 tabs.
I had a window with many more than 10 tabs which I reopened each session by going to History > Recently Closed Windows. I knew this was risky - I could lose this if I did not keep it in an open window or recently closed window. So I was looking for a way to save this window with all the tabs. I looked into tab groups and, not knowing what I was doing, I closed the groups of tabs. There seems to be no recovery for other than the last 10 tabs. And open tabs are not necessarily in recent history if I have not accessed the tab and refreshed.

I don't use tab groups myself, but I know of a way to increase the number of closed tabs that Firefox remembers. Unfortunately, it's not retroactive...
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the following preferences and enter the preferred new value:
(A) '''browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo''' (default: 10)
(B) '''browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo''' (default: 3)
Regarding what is in history, by default, Firefox will load tabs on demand when you restore a session, rather than loading every single tab immediately. If you turned off that setting, or if you visited all the tabs, then those pages should be in history, but finding them amidst all the others would be quite a challenge...

Why does iPhone rate whole album when it syncs to iTunes rather than just single song sometimes?

I wasn't sure if this should be an iTunes or iPhone discussion, so here goes!
I am very particular about rating my music. Every day at work, as songs play on my iPhone, I give them a star rating. This star rating then transfers to iTunes when I sync my phone. Most times, these ratings go through just fine. Sometimes, however, rather than just rating a single song with three stars on an album... It'll give the whole album in iTunes three stars. (Three stars is just an example.)
What I mean is that if viewing an album list, the album rating will be hard coded per se on the left and give all the songs three stars even if I never listened to / rated them. I can then click to remove the rating on the album on the left, and the unrated / unplayed songs will lose that hard coded rating and return to no rating.
What am I doing wrong? Lol. It drives me crazy! Once a month I view all my albums as a list so I can remove the hard coded ratings. There are usually six or seven albums that'll have it. I do nothing different on the iPhone that I am aware of.
Has anyone else experienced this situation or have a solution? I'm on an iPhone 4S, latest software. This also occurred with my iPhone 3GS

Still an issue, Apple. iPad with 5.1.1 and I have the same issue. There doesn't appear to be a way to rate a single song.

OT: Did you know you can change your profile to show your real name, rather than just your Adobe ID?

I realize this is off-topic for this particular forum, but I hope it may help some readers. Since this forum is "where I live" in the Adobe forums, I wanted top share it here first. Perhaps after some feedback to refine things, I may post it elsewhere (another forum perhaps, and/or my blog).
As I was answering a question from someone, finding myself again able only to refer to them by their brief Adobe ID (which often seems to have no connection at all to their name), I wondered:
Do people realize that they can change their forum identity so that their real name (or whatever other identifying info) shows up rather than just their brief Adobe ID? It's just that some folks would much prefer "talking" with someone by refer to them by their real name (or at least something more than just their Adobe ID).:-)
I suppose some may choose intentionally to remain “relatively anonymous” with just that ID to identify them, but I think many more simply don't know that they *can* change what's shown. You can. But it seems we can't do it inside the forums software itself.
Instead, we just need to modify our "Adobe account" to associate a name with our ID (which of course could have benefit in other places where our names might be used).
You can do by going to https://www.adobe.com/account.html, then choose “My Information” (and login if prompted). Then, on the page shown, under the section “My Personal Profile” you can fill in the first and last name fields. (You can also your password here, and it seems even your username.)
It may be possible that after making that change, you would need to sign out and back into the forums (forums.adobe.com) for the change to be picked up, but if it is, you should then see "Welcome [your name]" in the top right corner of the forums page, if it's worked.
And now any forum messages you create should have that name at the top of the message when people read it, and it would also be in the FROM address if people receive it as email (note we're NOT talking about your email address. That is never shown. If people reply to forum messages received by email, the reply goes back to a generic forum email address.)
Hope all that's helpful to someone.
BTW, I had done the change myself a long time ago, so I'm retracing these steps now for others to do it. If you try it and can confirm that it works, please drop a note here. Thanks.

It works, thanks!

Thank you so much wchp, this is brilliant. I have had this annoying problem for a long time. I eventually rang Mac support, they did not know how to fix the problem as you have suggested so they instigated many hardware replacements which eventually left my iMac severely crippled. They eventually replaced it with the latest model. But I spent two months working with a disabled computer which really interfere with my work.
Your solution appears to have solved my problem, at least so far, but I am hopeful that it is a permanent fix. I hope that your suggestions are taken up by Apple support. This may solve many users problems and avoid Apple making expensive fixes that don't actually work.
I thought that the new iMac would not have the 'Wake up from sleep by painting in the login window' problem but it did, this really annoyed me. Anyway now the problem appears to be solved, it's not I will repost and keep working on it. Thanks again.

Can you view a whole year in iCal, rather than just day, week, month?

Does anyone know if there is a plug in or something (alternative app. even) that allows you to view the whole YEAR rather than just a month at a time? I want something that will function almost like a wall planner.

I asked this question about two years ago! I'm surprised we still can't print a year calendar. I've been using an Apple Calendar program from 1996, which was fun because I could add icons, and frames, etc. I was using it up until last week when I installed Leopard. Gone is Classic and my calendar program along with it!
Another problem I've had with iCal is the inability to print it in portrait mode. There was a work around on these boards that worked, but doesn't now. Sigh

How do I see the charts for all countries rather than just my own country simultaneously in iTunes? The album chart...

I produced a song on Lecrae's new album, Gravity, "Higher" f/Tenth Ave North, which is #1 in the US today upon its release. But I've heard that it also topped charts in other countries as well, and do not know how to adjust the Top Album Charts view to show me the top 10 albums in each country rather than just in the US. I've done it before, but over a year ago when Rehab: The Overdose dropped, but can't recall how I did it. Please help! Thanks and God bless...

I agree that this does work. Thanks.
However, I now have the issue that I scroll the whole screen down to show the shows at the bottom. When I highlight the last show, the 10 shows are not visibile as they are at the top of the screen. I have to scroll the whole screen back up to the top to see episodes.
This is not the most elegant solution but at least with lots of double scrolling, it is possible.

Interesting. It looks to be available from the iTunes Affiliates resources for everyone:
Affiliate Logo Guidelines and Art
... although it also says you ought to be an affiliate to actually use it.
It might be worth checking in with Apple Legal to see what the requirements are for using it, first. Here's contacts:

How do I configure my Software limits to Kill a motor, rather than just halt the motion?

I am running on board programs. I have my software limits enabled. Occasionally, my program corrupts and I hit a software limit. The motion stops by halting the motors, but they are still on. As a result, the on board progam kicks in again, and the motors start back up again. Depending upon the program, this can lead to very dangerous results.
How can I set the software limits such that they kill the motors, rather than just halting them?

You will need to poll the status of the software limits (using the Read Limit Status VI, limit type inptu set to software limits). Once the status is True, such that the software limit has been tripped, execute a Stop Motion VI, with the Stop type input set to Kill.
This example program uses these two VIs, but you will need to modify it for your own application in the way I mentioned above:

This is part of Lion's Resume feature (I assume you are on Lion).
A couple of things you can do: System Preferences>General and deselect 'Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps'.
Also when you shutdown or restart make sure the following is unticked:

See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash or simply import the media folder back into the library. Restoring a recent backup of the .itl database will restore the original date added values, ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. that would otherwise be missing from the reimported media.

How do I legitimately crop a video to 2.35:1 rather than just artificially do it.

So premiere allows you to use the crop effect, or crop the video during the exporting (on source you can delete pixels on top and bottom). But this only adds black bars to the video, the video is still physically a 16:9 video, just with black.
How can I do this. (I want to upload to vimeo and it be a legitimate 2.35:1 video rather than a 16:9 with black bars).
Thanks
TJ

dont worry about "Source scaling", can leave that on "scale to fit". just change the output resolution to match the crop. uncheck aspect ratio icon (the chain link) so you can adjust the height pixels independent of the width.

How do I play music from a folder or a playlist in a random order, rather than just start to fini

HiCan you help? Seems like a simple thing, but can't figure out how... I want to be able to easily listen to my music that is grouped together, but in a random order rather than start to finish? I can't find anywhere how to do thisThanksGowan

Which player do you have? Most have a play mode such as random or shuffle/shuffle folder which will play in the way you want. PB
