Things to do with my husk

So my hard drive burnt out and is no longer capable of holding more than a couple hundred songs, so I opened my baby up and removed the old hard drive, but before I just buy a new hard drive to put into it, I wanted to check if anyone had some cool ideas of what to do with it instead?
I have an iPhone, and while it doesn't have enough space for all my music (not even close) it's enough for me to switch music out every once in awhile, so if there were some creative ideas floating around out there, bring 'em on!
I'm no casual, so don't hold back because you think the project might be too much.

1. Active it!
2. Enable it to connect to your wireless network if you have one.
3. Got Mobile Me? Active it and sync up your goods. If not, at least set up one e-mail account. I can't answer for gmail, but with Yahoo, it's flawless. Read on one machine, it's marked read on all. Delete in one place, it is deleted in all.
4. Got a few songs in iTunes? Sync at least one up, maybe an entire album or short playlist.
5. Got a movie? Sync up just one movie.
6. Got pictures? Pick a small selection of photos to sync up.
7. Sync all of the above. Now you have a nice selection of various things to play with.
8. Download iBooks. With the free free Winnie the Poo book at least, give a nice example of what can be done with pictures and such.
9. Now that you are loaded up, if you have family tell them to leave you alone for the rest of the night, you are busy. Find a comfy couch or bed, your favorite drink, small snack tray, and call in late or sick tomorrow for work/school.

    If your intention is to use the trial again it will not reset if you reinstall.  It will remain in its ran out state.

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger.  Do NOT use a computer's USB port.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know.  If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
    Also, according to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

    my phone no longer changes the view/picture/map when i go from vertical to the horizontal position is this some thing to do with the accelerometer

    No, that would probably be the orientation lock. Check up by the battery icon and see if you have an icon with a small lock and a circular arrow. Either way, go to the Control Center, swiping up from the bottom of the screen. Look at the top row of icons and the orientation lock is the last one on the right. White is on, black is off. Just turn it off and you should be alright. Understand there are some apps that do not change into the landscape mode from portrait.

    My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
    The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
    I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy....   google...." fcpx time machine problem"  Frist page link

  • Weird thing going on with Expose and Dock

    Weird things have been going on with my Macbook Pro. It's been like this for several months and it's very annoying. What happened was that at some point during using computer, the dock and the expose will go on doing strange stuff together, for the dock, it's the magnification not working properly, when i move my mouse over any application icon, the magnification didn't come up, but if I click on it it will, however, after having clicked on the icon it will not doing the jump motion like it usually does, what it does is that it's going to stay being magnified, even if i point the mouse elsewhere. That's the dock. The problem with the expose is with the all window view, where when i turn it on everything seems to be normal, but if i move my mouse around, anywhere, each window that has been shown in the "all window" view will keep flashing until i dont move my mouse again. And that's the expose problem. Two other problems that occur along with the annoying issue mentioned earlier is that say when you click on the apple icon on the top, usually when you move down along there will be a blue stripe as a background to the words like "About this mac", "System preferences" etc, but when the problem occurs it will not do that. And if you have any window opened that has a scroll for horizontally, it'll keep forcing me to the right hand side of the bar, even if i drag it to the left it'll still go straight to the right hand side automatically. These are the problems that log-out-then-log-in won't resolve, needs to be restarted, i cannot work under this kind of situation, and it's getting really frustrating although i really like my mac still. I'm not sure when it started to do this, one time i thought maybe an application like p2p may disrupt the system so one time i only had calendar, itunes working still it happened again. I have a macbook pro A1226, has been updated to 10.5 and went through all the software update already... still... Does anyone have have the similar or maybe exact same problem as I do here? Please let me know. If you know how to fix it even better, I'd appreciate that. Thanks.

  • FCPX is doing funny things to PNGs with alpha channel.

    I am currently working on a video that requires lots of compositing using PNGs with transparency. Everything was fine, until I decided to render. Then this happened:
    Some of the PNGs turned into a bunch of pink blocks, as if the file were corrupted. It even happened with a PNG with no transparency-=
    I've tried:
    Trashing Render Files
    Changing Alpha Handling
    Export without Render
    Using "Add" as the Blend Mode.
    What can I do?

    I suggest you begin by deleting preferences, as so many weird things seem to be caused by corrupt preferences.
    You can also try creating a brand new project, composite a few pngs and check if the weirdness also occur there; if it does not, then maybe there was some corruption in the project, in which case selecting everything and pasting into a new project may cure it.

  • Unknown thing that came with the ipod

    probably a dumb question. I just bought a ipod nano. In the box that contained everything there is a white thing with a rectangle slot in the bottom of a rounded trough. What is it? Any help would ease my feeble mind.

    That's the adapter for the Universal Dock. There's a different sized one for each type of iPod, you place it in the well of a Universal Dock and then your iPod fits in. If you have different models of iPod you can use the same dock with either one by fitting the appropriate adapter: Apple Universal Dock

  • What's the first thing you do with a new computer?

    I'm getting a new MBP in a couple of weeks. I've been in the Mac family since my first Performa years and years ago. In the past, I've just opened up the box and started. This time I want to take a different approach and I'm wondering what sort of things you do to/with your computers when they are new and before you start loading them up with "all your stuff." Example: I've thought of using "Color Label" to code everything that originally comes with the computer in one color. Maybe what you do isn't "serious" but it's just about personalizing your Mac.
    This will be the first computer I won't have to share with anyone else in the family! It will be mine, all mine. Mine, mine, mine!
    Chip

    First off, connect to AC and charge the battery fully. Within the first couple of days, calibrate the battery using these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
    Otherwise, you really can just open the box and start.
    Personally, though, I usually reinstall the OS from the Install DVDs that come with the MBP. I do an Erase & Install and I customize the installation to save space (for example, I don't use GarageBand so I omit that, along with limiting the language(s) and selecting only the printer driver families I'll need. Doing that saved me ~4 GB with Leopard (even large HDDs fill up eventually...).

  • Macbook Pro Headphone Jack, a very strange thing going on with it? help

    Hello,
    My Macbook Pro 15" Mid 2011 has had this very annoying small issue for over a year with the headphone jack. Sound only plays through the headphone jack as per normal when i restart the laptop, but once i remove the headphones and plug them back in sound isn't going through the headphone, it's going through the speakers as if headphones aren't plugged in, to have it working as normal i have to restart the laptop again.
    Is this a hardware or software issue?
    Please help me resolve this..
    Thanks,
    Jacob

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Since this is a brand new MBP under warranty, the best thing to do is to contact Apple and tell them about your difficulties. If you have access to an Apple Store, you might want to bring your Mac in and show them what it is doing. This does not sound at all normal, and it's very possible that you have hardware issues involved. If so, you should be eligible for a repair under warranty or possibly even a replacement if you are still in the first 2 weeks of ownership.
    There is a long thread which may be relevant:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12542170
    It's probably too long to read the whole thing, but you might browse the posted images and see if this looks like your problem.
    Good luck!

  • What is this thing that came with my iMac?

    I just got a new iMac (quad core, i5). There is a curious object in the packaging that I don't know what it is, and it isn't discussed in the instructions. It's a thin piece of black felt-like material, square shaped, with the 4 corners folded inward. I have no idea what this thing does, or what I should do with it. What is it? It's way too thin to be a mousepad, I think.

    Check out Chapter 5 page #67 of the User's Guide that came with your iMac.
