There Has Got to Be A Way to Do This

Is there any way to change your ipod preferences without plugging it in. If i plug it in, i will lose stuff immediately because it is set to auto update, i need to change that setting...please share your knowledge

Here is the offical apple article on that. I think it's a hassle.
Prevent iTunes From Automatically Updating Your iPod
You can just have iTunes > Edit > Preferences up on the screen, and the iPod won't update when you plug it in.
And here is yet another easy way

  • There has GOT to be a way to sync Entourage on one mac with Entourage on...

    There has GOT to be a way to sync Entourage on one mac with Entourage on another mac! So far, the only way I can find to keep my mail synced on two macs using Entourage is to kill the Daemon on one machine and copy over the contents of the Microsoft directory to the other machine, but this is NOT a sync, it's a replacement. This will not work if email has been exchanged on both machines before the copy can be done. So what are we supposed to do? Thx for any help on this perplexing problem.

    Wait, I'm confused. Chronosync is just a fancy filecopy no? I think i tried it once moons ago just for folder syncing. it worked, but i did not see much advantage of that over just dragging the files. It still won't sync the individual emails right? (ie. add new, leave old alone). But u say using an imap server will help there? I don't even know what that is, but I guess I can install it on one of my macs right? Or do I have to pay to subscribe to one (like mac.com or whatever that thing is)? not an option here in Nepal. Well thanks for ur help so far!

  • Help... there has got to be a way!

    I have spent considerable time trying to find out how I can
    update the display while I'm in a for loop. I have created a self
    organizing map using actionscript 3.0 and I'd like to display the
    map learning. The SOM is computationally intensive and has to be in
    a tight for loop. When running actionscript code in a loop does
    flex respond to any events? Back in my VB days there was a
    doevents() statement to allow events to be handled... anything like
    that in flex?? doesn't seem like setting up a timer event is going
    to work if the for loop is blocking the event.

    Alex,
    There is no doevents() fucntion in Flex, but there still is a
    way :)
    What you need to do is to encapsulate your loop in a function
    listening to the EnterFrame event, this will make the hole process
    slower (Since you'll do a part of it on each frame), but the
    display list will be updated and the program wont hang during the
    process.

  • I absolutely hate the galaxy note 3!! I want to switch over back to iphone. There are so many issues with this phone!! There has got to be a way I can do this without spending crap ton of money. Its just ridiculous. I am livid

    Overheating
    Battery sucks
    Apps suck
    Phone freezes
    Phone cuts off
    Wall charger doesnt work
    Not good signal
    ^^ These are all the issues that I deal with this phone!! I HAVE HAD FOUR OF THE SAME PHONES. RIDICULOUS. They all suck the same!! I want to go back to iphone ASAP. But between the early termination fee and full retail price it is NOT WORTH IT. I am about to just terminate my service altogether. I am sick of being stuck and stressed out over a mobile device!

        Ambersikes17, we don't want you to cancel your service. Let's get your phone working properly. Are you using the original charger that came with the phone? If so, does it the phone respond to the charger if it is positioned in a different manner?
    Have you noticed if the freezing occurs with certain actions like messaging or using an application? Are these issues that you have had with all of the devices or just your current phone? Have you tried using your phone in Safe Mode? http://vz.to/1d0SZSq

  • There has got to be a way to set Tab behavior?!

    I cannot believe that something as simple as being able to Tab to the first cell of the next row is not an option...or at least I can't find it.
    If I have a header row for a specific number of columns and the rest of the header cell fields are empty, when I start filling in the data fields why would it be coded to think I want another column when I've already titled the columns I need?  And in fact, while I've been writing this I've also been testing multiple actions just so I at least had a legitimate question...but I can't even find any keyboard key (or combination of) that will get me to the first cell on the next line!
    I am a keyboard person.  I do not look at the keyboard while I'm typing.  I shouldn't have to stop typing and use my mouse to select the cell I want.  What am I missing?

    If you enter data in one cell and hit Return, it moves you to the cell directly beneath.
    If you enter a few columns of data, using Tab to enter and move right, when you hit Return it moves you to the first column, one row down.
    If you hit tab when in the rightmost column ,it will add a column to the table. If you hit Return while in the last row, it will add a new row. It can be argued that both of those actions make sense for data entry. It can also be argued that they don't make sense, that you should have to manually add more rows/columns when you need them.

  • There has got to be a way to delete my Library.............................

    OK heres my problem , I have a ton of music, I also dont want to have it all in my Itunes library once I have the music in my ipod.
    My problem is this, once I have the music on my ipod I want to delete a bunch of stuff from my itunes Library and bring in new songs, when I do this, it erases all the stuff on my ipod and gives me the new stuff.
    I want to
    A) Add music to my itunes library
    b) get it to ipod
    c) delete music from itunes library and still have it be on my ipod when I sync new stuff - what the **** is going on?
    Ive tried all the options of "manging my music" and only syncing certain playlists - please help

    Well I don't know if this will help you much, but I think you have to click on a song you want to delete, so right click it, then it should come up with options, find clear or delete (mine is clear) and click it. THIS WILL NOT KEEP THE SONG ON THE IPOD!!!!!!!!!!! IT WILL DELETE SO IF YOU REALLY DON'T LIKE THE SONG THEN GO WITH IT. OR MAKE SURE YOU STILL HAVE THE SONG ON A CD OR MAKE ONE AND DELETE IT THEN! THEN IF YOU STILL THINK YOU WANT IT THEN PUT IT BACK ON WITH THE CD! I do hope this solves your problem!!!

  • Consolidating your library....there has to be an easier way!!

    My external hard drive somehow was renamed from f:/ to g:/, and subsequently now itunes can't find half my music. So, my question is how do you delete all of the files in itunes that have an exclamaton point next to them without doing it manually (which would take hours) so you can add g:/ to the library? As user friendly as apple is, there has to be a way to delete all tracks that itunes can't find.

    OOOooooohhh man, i FEEL your pain. The short answer is...NO. I had this exact same problem a while ago and there really is no way around it. The only option is to consolidate your music, make sure it will never move again, and have iTunes make a whole new library. This of course means that you will need to make all of your playlists over again. I know this ***** but consider the alternative (finding all your songs individually). The other option you may have is if you have your entire library on your iPod, then you could use a program like iPodcopy to makes things right again. Good luck and sorry.

  • Newbie - There has to be an easier way to enlarge a mc and shrink mc on click

    First off I'm a newbie, so sorry -
    What I am trying to do is make a image enlarge on click and then click it to go back to the original size. I am using TweenLite to achieve this. I am thinking that AS 3.0 code would be easier to do this. I tried it but was coming up with no error it only worked one time. So I was able to get it to work, sort of. Right now, it eases larger but when clicked again it jumps back down to the original size (no easing). I am not asking for you to do the code, unless you want to, I just was wondering if anyone knows where I could research it. I am new to AS 3.0 so forgive me. But, there has to be code for this.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. File is attached if you want to see how a newbie can butcher a file.
    I am using Flash CS4 ActionScript 3.0

    Here is the code for the first frame.
    stop();
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import gs.TweenLite;
    import fl.transitions.*;
    import fl.transitions.easing.*;
    TweenLite.to(p17_mc, .5, {x:275.2, y:349.4, scaleX:1, scaleY:1});
    TweenLite.to(black_mc, 0, {autoAlpha:0});
    function main(event:MouseEvent):void {
    MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("first");
    trace ("something good just happened!");
    p17_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, main);
    Code for the Second Frame.
    stop();
    import gs.TweenLite;
    TweenLite.to(p17b_mc, 1, {x:250, y:100, scaleX:5, scaleY:5});
    TransitionManager.start(blackb_mc, {type:Fade, direction:Transition.IN, duration:4, easing:Strong.easeOut});
    function home(event:MouseEvent):void {
    MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("firstfadeout");
    trace ("going to fade out");
    p17b_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, home);
    Code for the Third Frame.
    TweenLite.to(p17b_mc, .5, {x:275.2, y:349.4, scaleX:1, scaleY:1});

  • There has to be a better way for Paths & Zooming?

    Hi All,
    Thanks for looking in and poinitng me in the right direction. (Trust me when I tell you I have been reading and watching tutorials)http://www.schoolofflash.com/2008/12/custom-motion-paths-flash-cs4-tutorial/
    I am attempting to create a Tween. with a specific path. All whilst trying to make my 2D assett, or Instance go from one point to other and rotate from one direction like this <---- to half way through the animation Tween then going this direction ----> and then having that Instance grow larger as appears to get closer.   Yes there is a quick point when switching direction of the 2D Instance where it dissapears for a split second. because I cranked up the skew to get the Instance to point (or flip) the other direction or is it the 3D under "Free transform"? I forget now. Anyhow...
    Think  "creating from Template/Advertising/Scripted Snow"  Installing an Instance like a sled that comes from the Right upper mtns across to the Left side weaving and growing in size to give a 3d look as it comes down the mountain zig zagging. -If I lost you just ask.
    I did create this and with great pain. Weeding through old tutorials. Yet they do not give shortcuts. IE: Is there a short cut to make an instance grow on it's path? Instead of doing it frame by frame? As you can do with a path by setting the frame to say number 1 then place your Instance and then move your play head to say frame 400 and then drag your instance to wherever you want it to end up. Then all those frames are created. Albiet the shortest path and with barbaric adjustment of the path itself. 
    I come from AVID editing and if I want an asset to grow I park it in it's "start area and set it's size" then move the play head to the stop point hit 'zoom' set it's finished growth size and it grows smoothly as it moves to it's stop point. No keyframing. Does this flash software have that or must I create my flash video in Premier Pro for that kind of ease? If so ..Will Premier import an SWF form Flash into it's timeline? IF so some steps please.
    I have been learning a few of these softwares I bought CS6 Master Suite and feel like I am new to the whole thing again. I went from GIMP and AVID as an intermediate  to CS6 and am knocked back to a Novice. I have AVID on my desk just waiting for me to go running back to it. LOL However I know if I stick with Adobe I will have more control. Once I learn where and what the shortcuts are. I spend more time hunting a pecking looking for stuff a tutorial rips by as though I am supposed to know where the Pen tool is? Yeah it was buried under another tool. I got it now...
    Regards,
    NetCommercial

    45 views up to date with no answer... OK I got it.
    The frames that you want zoomed can be handled like this. IE: You want frames to go from 10% to 100%. When your Tween layer has been created, select the Start frame or 1st frame and shrink your image to 10% at that key frame. ( I am assuming you know about Transform tool) Next drag your object/Instance to the end point of your path and increase +90% or to desired size.
    That is it.

  • There has got to be something wrong with my X230 touchpad

    I just received my X230 in the mail and while overall its a fantastic machine, light, capable, wonderful keyboard, sturdy, the trackpad is absolutely atrocious and I'm not sure if it's supposed to be (since many reviewers have been singing its praises).
    When UltraNav or generic Synaptic drivers are installed, the accuracy/resolution of the trackpad is absolutely dismal. If I slowly drag my finger across it, the cursor moves in 5-7 px "blocks," resulting in horrificully low resolution, chunky movement. It makes clicking on ANYTHING accurately nigh impossible.
    If I uninstall all Synaptic drivers (including UltraNav), the resolution is better (moves more in 1-2 px blocks) however the trackpad is exceedingly sensitive and touching it causes erratic movement (although you can see that it is more finite than before).
    What exactly is wrong here? It worked just awful out o fthe box. Am I going crazy or is this the way the X230 actually is and Lenovo messed this thing up?
    For reference, I've used Apple laptops for the past 5 years and am very used to having a large, smooth, accurate and fast glass trackpad. This is world's apart. The TrackPoint is accurate but its movement is too slow and laborous for me to enjoy.
    Please advise...

    I'm using the synaptic drivers and GUI now from as suggested.
    I do like the settings GUI interface better but the underlying problem of the pointer  jumping around when I am either pressing down or lifting up is still there. It did however seem to make the two finger scroll much more useable in web browsers which is nice.
    A lenovo support person suggested to start in safe mode and see if it persists, and it is. Even after installing the drivers you can get the undesired behavior to repeat.
    I wonder if it has to do with the little bumps, this is the first version of a mouse pad I have owned with those things.
    This is such a step backwards. I'm perplexed how they didn't notice this 'jumpiness' before choosing this hardware/pad device. It's as if older mousepads disregard the size of your finger 'footprint' because it gets bigger the harder you press down, but in this new device pressing down, thus changing the surface area touching the mousepad, causes the pointer to move, even though there was no movement by your finger, just the action of pressing down. Its the same thing for removing your finger from the mousepad, the pad is tracking movement where is none.
    I think this is a design flaw and not a faulty unit because others are having the same problem and even one reviewer listed the mouse pad as the biggest Con.
    These reviews either criticize the mouse or mention two finger scrolling problems

    Everybody says the two finger scroll doesn't work (the synaptic drivers are better than the ones from lenovo for scrolling IMO)

  • There has to be a better way.

    I am tired of seeing posts where people come venting in a very rude and angry tone demanding an explanation regarding a poor customer service experience or a program on demand or a certain thing that they no longer have and every time, it sounds like a vent directed toward Verizon...on a peer-to-peer support forum.  Or sometimes it will be an account or billing issue and every time, no fellow customer can possibly be expected to respond to that, particularly without knowing the details and when it's often involving someone's private account information.  There are so many threads of this nature that I myself don't know how to respond to. 
    This is just one example of many that I often skip over and don't bother responding to:
    http://forums.verizon.com/t5/General-Residential-Products-and/Blues-Clues-On-Demand/td-p/494183
    These all sound like customer service issues and some of them just sound like "vents" because they don't explain what the issue is.  There really should be a folder on the forums here for posting these vents and concerns privately so that nobody else in a peer-to-peer support forum has to hear all of this.  There is already 1-800-VERIZON and a link to email customer service directly with any problems but it just seems like a lot of people come here to vent without reading about what the forum is really for.   It seems to take away the whole focus of "peer-to-peer" support and turns it more into a sounding board for anyone to vent their frustrations.
    I think the Verizon employees here are doing a heck of a job redirecting customers with these concerns to customer service or escalating the matter to someone who can get involved directly in resolving their matters.  It just seems to me that if there were a separate private folder here readily available for that, it would keep the focus of the peer-to-peer support more organized.  Perhaps there should be a private folder where a customer with these problems can post directly from the beginning if it's something that can be escalated, if it's a matter that a customer has been unable to resolve by calling 1-800-VERIZON.
    Just my 2 cents.

    I do understand customer service experiences that go overly poorly.  We have all been there for sure and we have all gotten frustrated and annoyed from time to time when trying to resolve a particular issue, not always so easy when we're tired and burdened with other demands.
    It just seems like now-a-days, many more customers are demanding and take more things personally.  It seems very hard at times too to offer a solution to the problem that has worked but that someone doesn't seem willing to try.  It's hard to know but I definitely give you credit for dealing with that because that's certainly not easy.  We have all been there too with certain CSRs who are rude or who don't know what they're doing but I know that there were many other times as well when I would deal with CSRs who really were trying when it came to certain problems. 
    When it comes to my own occasional Fios issues which really haven't been too numerous, my objective is to get everything resolved in the end and unless certain customers really want to switch over to cable and just don't like Verizon, I was thinking that this particular idea, if implemented, could serve as some hope to keep customers who might otherwise give up and that there *is* a solution to the problem.
    These forums have offered me a wealth of good information and I have learned plenty more about resolving computer issues from other knowledgeable customers here.  Those positive aspects should really be highlighted.

  • There Has to Be an Easier Way ...

    W3C says you should notify a visitor of where they're being
    directed once
    they click a link. For external links, I'm simply placing a
    "double-window"
    icon next to the link. At this point in time, I'm coding the
    image in each
    time, like so:
    <img src="...." width="x" height="x" alt="..."
    title="...">
    It's just getting cumbersome to do this - and I've seen other
    websites use
    this icon technique but the explicit coding of the image was
    not there.
    What's the "known" work-around?

    To elaborate - Thierry - I'm really interested in the

    myself - it's a
    bit hard to catch on to what exactly is going on. In the
    code, I don't see a
    way to implement displaying the image when Javascript is
    enabled and to not
    do so if it's disabled.
    Also - how is this relayed to only *certain* links. Looking
    through your
    personal code on your website, the <a> links only
    contain the href="..."
    location - no hooks or anchors such as rel, class, etc.
    If you could elaborate - I'd truly appreciated it, Thierry.
