Sorry for the stupid newb questions, don't want to make a bad buy

and I am pretty much an idiot when it comes to technology.
Here's what I am looking for. Hopefully, one of you kind souls who are far smarter than I am, can point me in the right direction.
I want an MP3 player for working out. I would really like it to be able to do the following:
-shuffle playlists I add in without always going through the same songs in the same order.
-be able to be used with an armband, or at the very least, a belt clip. (definitely prefer armband though)
-hold enough music to be able to get me through about 2 hours worth of working out.
-be able to withstand a fair amount of shock and wear and tear, as I also do martial arts training. (no, I am not going to try to cleave anyone with it)
One of the things I kept noticing when trying to read through specs, was the listed bit rates for songs in MP3 format. Virtually everything I have is at 320, but the highest I've seen listed is 28.
I'm assuming it will still work, but I wanted to make absolutely sure because I would get extremely frustrated to find out I had to redo a rather huge collection of music.
I was looking at Creative NOMAD? MuVo? 2 as a logical choice, but I wanted to see if I could get an expert opinion on what might be better. Is 52MB going to be enough machine for what I want, or do I need to look at something in the GB and up dept. Also, how much of a beating will it take? Is there a better choice, even if it costs more money?
Also, are the players that start at like 5GB pretty bulky? I would think they would be, which is a big cause for concern. I have enough trouble lifting my weights, without worrying about cramping up while trying to lug a piece of Samsonite filled with melodic electrons. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

If you're expecting the player to be bumped around I would strongly suggest you get a flash player. The largest you can get is Gb (I think either the MuVo N200 or V200), and you've already mentioned the MuVo? 52Mb player which is equally good. Not sure sure if the MuVo N200/V200 shuffle, but I'm sure the MuVo? does.
All Creative players will play 320 kbit/s, this is the highest rate you can encode at for MP3/WMA.

I want to store my mac before I go south for the winter. I don't want to lose my info. Can I remove battery and not lose anything?

I want to store my mac before I go south for the winter. I don't want to lose my info. Can I remove battery and not lose anything?

Yes. Your data are stored in your hard drive, and the battery is not required for the hard drive to keep its data.
However, you may want to google for information about how to store a battery for an extended period - "winter" is a long time, and batteries do run down when left sitting on a shelf.

How do I sync my iPad with my iTunes without it trying to put my iPod apps on the iPad? I don't want to make separate accounts because then the apps that I want on both would have to be paid for twice.

No, they won't. Just create a second profile in iTunes for the iPad. You can then select only what you want synced to it completely separate from your iPod.

Ok, so this is a dumb question but i just got my macbook pro about 30min ago and don't want to mess anything up! I already plugged it in to charge and i turned it on and its ready for the set up process but i cant do it until i get home. is there a way to shut down the computer and just set it up later? its at the first step to select my launguage and country. right now its just in sleep mode, should i just leave it like that until i get home tonight and am ready to install and set up everything? i tried pressing the power button again but nothing happened.

HT201359 Can you please tell me how I check that I have only downloaded only one album my I pod is showing a lot of downloads for the same album I don't want to be charged for the same album thanks

How do I acess my iTunes account to make sure I have not been charged for downloads which are showing up on my I pod I downloaded the 80's album but it looks like it has downloaded it more than once thanks

You can view the purchase history on your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, on your account's details page there should be a purchase history section with a 'see all' link to its right : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727

I can not export photos onto DVD. After I click export, close iPhoto, click Finder, At this point I can't find the file to burn. (copy to be used on Windows) Sorry for the lame question....new to mac

So it sounds like you are trying to burn a DVD with photos on it so the photos can be either transferred to or displayed on a Windows PC, is that correct?
For the purposes of this I am going to assume you are using iPhoto '11.
Gather the photos you want to burn to DVD in one album in iPhoto. This is not absolutely necessary but it sure makes things easier for me.
Select that album, then go to the File menu and select Export...
In the dialog that shows up, select the File Export tab. Select the setting you want to use for export. Click the Export button.
Another dialog will show up. Set the location to Desktop and click the New Folder button. Name the folder something nice and descriptive and click the Create button.
Click the OK button. Quit iPhoto as the rest of this work will be done in the Finder.
You will now have a folder on your desktop with that nice descriptive name. Find it and select it. Go to the File menu and from it select Burn "Descriptive folder name" to Disc...
Insert a blank DVD when prompted.
Let the finder complete the work and eject the disc afterwards.
That's it. Best of luck.

Sorry for the dumb question...

Sorry for the dumb question but I've never used two hard drives on a mac. On my second installed hard drive on my new Mac Pro, I can not create a new folder (the option is greyed out). What do I do?

Try this:
Right click (or ctrl-click) and select "Get Info"
On the bottom, under "Ownership & Permissions", make sure that the pull down menu next to "You can" says "Read & Write".
Under details, you can make your username the owner of the disk, with the same access.
You can also click the "Ignore ownership on this volume" if you don't want any of those types of permissions.
HTH!

Hi,
While creating your Apple ID initially, have you setup a rescue email, if yes then when you enter a wrong answer to your security questions, it gives you link to send reset security info mail to your rescue email address. If you have not setup a rescue email, then you will have to contact Apple.
Please read the following line at the bottom of this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you decide not to provide a rescue email address, you can't reset your security questions and answers yourself later in the event you can't remember the answers to your questions. You'll need to contact iTunes Store support to have your questions and answers reset.
Please get the contact info as per your country from this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

Hello, dot mac & MobtleMe no longer exist, though it may be possible to still use a dot mac addy... or maybe not if expired.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    •    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    •    SSL Required: Yes
    •    Port: 993
    •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    •    Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    •    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    •    SSL Required: Yes
    •    Port: 587
    •    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    •    Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

Hi, I have recently done some online updates and now I have to restart my mac each time for the stupid thing to recognise my internet settings. Any help gratefully accepted.

Were they Apple updates from Software Update or were they downloaded updates, including 3rd party updates from a website (Including Apple's)?

Sorry for such a basic question

Hi
Sorry for such a basic question.
I have been given the challenge to learn after effect (CS4), it appears to lag loads and take a hour to render (a 10sec composition).
Is the laptop I have been 'given' not really recommended for after effects, yes the program runs and works albeit very slowly, and appears to tick all the boxes on the minimum requirements.
Acer Aspire 5745
Processor         Intel i3 CPU M350 @2.27GHz
Memory            4.00 GB ( 3.68)
System               64-bit
Running on Windows 7 Home Premium
Is it a reasonable request to ask for something better?
Thanks

First, welcome to AE.
Most people here think of using the software as journey, and not something that can be totally mastered. That's an important differentiation from most applications, no?
Another important differentiation: knowing the basics is the key to doing the impressive-looking stuff in AE. There is a formidable number of little details to learn at the beginning which will relieve dead ends and frustration later. If you start at the beginning, you actually progress faster later on. Here's a good starting point:
http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2010/01/getting-started-with-after-eff.html
Don't overlook the links within; they're valuable. Other good learning resources can be found at videocopilot.net (free), plus Total Training ($$$).
To answer your question directly, I'd say yes: it IS reasonable to ask for something better. AE is a RAM hog, and in AE-Land, 4 gigs is almost nothing. If you must have a laptop, make sure it's filled up with memory. Serious AE power users would advise forsaking laptops altogether and going with a desktop machine.
To ease your task in the interim, I would do a few things:
Got multiprocessing (aka Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously) turned on? Turn it off and keep it off.
Got Open GL turned on to accelerate rendering? Turn it off and leave it off.
Got any footage in a project from a consumer camera, XDCam, HDV cam, helmet-cam or DSLR? Use a different application than AE to convert them into LOSSLESS footage. The files will be huge; that's life in AE-Land.

For some reason, I have had misgivings about partioning my internal HD.. not sure why.. sort of feels like I'm creating my own computer sybil ;-) Truthfully, it seems weird to split it.. I don't think I can articulate it really.. but are there complications that can come with doing this?
It's a common way to run multiple OSs, if there's room. I've had two on my internal HD for a couple of years. Plus a small partition for a copy of my Snow Leopard Install disc. Just be sure to leave at least 10% to 15% free on each partition.
Running Lion on a partition of the disk that also contains your backups is not a good idea; if that drive fails, you risk losing both copies of your stuff!
OSX will also run somewhat more slowly, because access to an external is slower. That probably won't be very significant, though.
Also, would the decision be effected by how long I want to maintain the SL section? I am assuming once I sort out what to replace Quicken with, I won't want to keep the SL section. So would it be easy enough to 'clear out the SL data, and open the partition?
Review #3 in Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks.
All things considered, your best bet may be to "clone" your SL partition to the second one, then (once you're sure everything is cool), erase the original (top) SL partition. You can use the Restore tab of Disk Utility for that (#7 in the same link), or a "cloning" app such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. Then install Lion on the top partition.
When you're done with SL, just delete it's partition and expand the Lion partition down into the vacated space.

Adobe Photo Downloader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Error Code: c0000005
Address: 75e32f71
I clicked on the OK button and the downloader closed.
I did a search on this error code (c0000005) and there seems to be a workaround but no solutions, why is this? I ask that because this problem seems to be years and years old, going back to at least 2005 (do the math that is 10 years).
I don't even have the Camera hooked up and I get this error on download. I redownloaded everything and reinstalled. I allso saw the AVI issues reported with this proble so i updated Quicktime though without the camera being hooked up when I get this error I didn't expect that to work. I tried support and they wouldn't help because I bought it in March this year. Pretty frustrating as I have re-purchased Elements about every 2 years. I think I might need a new CODEC? I had this problem on an Earlier version And I seem to remember that being the Fix but this may be something completely different

I finally found that it was missing a picture so the Catalog was "corrupted". I just deleted the picture and it started working.
I hate Adobe and their total lack of support - thanks for nothing Adobe . Also get this - they offered me to upgrade to 13.0 ( My 12.0 is only 6 months old but they still don't support it on errors. Only install errors!
I have upgrade and repurchase this product 4 times now. I will find something else next time!

Sorry for the stupid newb questions, don't want to make a bad buy
