What this needs is a real remote
I've had my iPod hi-fi for 2 days. I actually use it in a basement workout room, so the "big" sound is a plus for me.
However, there is a missing piece in the evolving iPod/iPod hi-fi/AirTunes universe, and that is a remote that displays the menu.
Sonos has implemented this very nicely, and I'd gladly pay a premium price to run my iPod/iPod hi-fi from any place other than six inches away.
As it is, if you can see the iPod menu, you don't need a remote. If you are beyond arm's reach, you can't see it.
James, I agree this is a major drawback to any iPod dock'd speaker product. However, I think Apple is kind of jammed between a rock and a hard place on this one. Just by making a product like iPod Hi-Fi they're stepping on their aftermarket accessories makers a bit. My guess is if they added the remote functionality we seek, they would really get their tit in a ringer... Especially since both DLO and Griffin, to name only two, are soon to ship products that function as you suggest. In fact, I plan to add one of these extended menuing systems to my iPod Hi-Fi setup when available.. And it would be Griffin's, if they would just add a mini Toslink output to it. I have made this suggestion recently.
P.S. - Wow... "Tit in a ringer..." didn't even get censored...

What is needed to do a remote trace?
I am interested in logging events from Microsoft-Windows-HttpService on a remote machine. I'm in a corporate environment and all the computers use Windows Auth. I have access to the remote machine. Are there certain permissions that I need in order
to remotely trace? Is it even possible? I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. Right now, I just get this error when I try to start tracing:
Start Trace Error
Failed to start one or more trace session(s) due to the following error(s):
Unable to start the ETW session Trace-Session-1-{8b6b4b20-33da-487e-b95d-ff240a2cdcc9}
OKYou should be able to use this method with Windows 2008 R2 and higher. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/canberrapfe/archive/2012/03/31/capture-a-network-trace-without-installing-anything-works-for-shutdown-and-restart-too.aspx
Run it remotely via:
wmic /node:<hostname> process call create "netsh trace start persistent=yes capture=yes tracefile=c:\temp\nettrace-boot.etl"
When you're finished testing, run:
wmic /node:<hostname> process call create "netsh trace stop"
Then copy over the trace files and view it locally in Network Monitor or Message Analyzer. -
How do I get my money back? This app doesn't do what I need.
How do I get my money back?
This app (Apple Remote Desktop) doesn't do what I need. I only need screen sharing with one user.
Installation and setup of ADR was so complex that I was forced to find a simpler workaround.
I found that a substitute function (75 percent of what I need) is built into Skype. It's a pain, but it works.
I'd want to get my money back for this expensive Apple Remote Desktop. I never got the software to work, not even once.
I can't find anywhere that the App Store gives any sort of money-back guarantee.Hi,
Actually I'm sure it says all sales are final - i.e. Tough....
Unless you can prove that the product description was flawed in which case you can rely on your contries consumer laws.

I want to open a radio file that is .rm. I get a message that says I need additional Quicktime software, but I cannot locate what I need to download on the QT website. Anyone got ideas about how I can open this file?
Hi bert,
the ".rm" extension is created by 'Real Media' application.
The easiest way to use it is to install the 'Real Media' player:
1. RealPlayer BBC.app
2. RealPlayer 12.app
I have both installed & use them sometimes.
(The 'BBC' wersion doesn't have any adverts with-in the app.) -
I tried updating my iPod 5th gen to iOS 8 but it only shows me a picture of the iTunes logo and a charger at the bottom, I'm not sure what this means or what I need to do. Can someone please help me?
After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark? I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed. Can someone help me?
It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

When I go to About This Mac and click on Storage it shows 421.93GB as Other. This only leaves 46.85GB of 499.25GB free. How do I find out what this "Other" is so I can remove the stuff I don't need?
What kind of use do you make of your MBP? A lot of photo or video? If so, you may be storing a lot of large files. Look at Finder and see what the file system looks like. Do you have large libraries of data files associated with applications?
You may want to think about an external hard drive to use for backups and data storage, you can point applications to the external drive as the default storage location.
A good source of external drives at a reasonable price is the Mac specialist, OWC, http://www.macsales.com
I bought their Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB dirve last September and set it up to use part for Time Machine backup and part for other work space. Setup with Disk utility into two partitions is very quick and easy. Just remember to format as Extended Journaled with GUID partition table. Setting the partition sizes is by using a braphical image on screen in DU so it is like falling off a log, so easy. -
Hi, I have installed a pci-gpib card in my computer, I have a problem with
installation, the message of troubleshooting wizard is as follow:
"One or more missing GPIB interfaces.
There are several reasons why you might encounter this problem:
Reason: Your GPIB interface is incorrectly installed.
Solution: Please verify that your GPIB interface is correctly installed
and rerun the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard.
Reason: You are using a non-Plug-and-Play interface (e.g., AT-GPIB/TNT,
GPIB-PCII/IIA, GPIB-ENET) and you did not use the Add New Hardware Wizard
to add the interface to your system properly.
Solution: Click th
e Add Hardware button and the Add GPIB Hardware wizard
will guide you through the process of adding GPIB hardware.
Reason: For the GPIB-USB and GPIB-1394, the host controller (USB or 1394)
must be working properly in order to use the GPIB interface.
Solution: Click on the System Details button for details about the USB and
1394 host controllers.
Reason: For the PCMCIA-GPIB and PCMCIA-GPIB+, the PCMCIA host controller
must be working properly in order to use the GPIB interface.
Solution: Use the Windows Device Manager to verify that your PCMCIA host
controller is functioning correctly. Start the control panel by selecting
"Start>>Settings>>Control Panel", open the System icon and select the
Device Manager page. If you select "View devices by type", you can look at
the PCMCIA socket properties to ensure it is correctly enabled."
And on system details the message is the next:
"USB Driver type: USB universal host controller"
"This version of windows does not su
pport IEEE 1394."
I am using Windows Me, so i want to know what i need to do to fix this
problems.
Best regards.If you have a PCI-GPIB card, you needn't worry about the USB port or whether or not Windows ME supports 1394. All you need in NI-488.2 version 1.70 from National Instruments. Install this driver and then insert your card. Windows should detect the card and find the proper driver.
If this did not happen in the proper sequence, look in the device manager and see if the card was installed as an "other device". If this happens, remove the card in the device manager and have windows redetect it. If this is not a solution, you may consider the ask an engineer page at www.ni.com/ask. Provide as many details as possible. -

Hi there;
For some reason I am unable to attach documents to a yahoo email from my macbook pro. I do not experience this problem on a nomal PC and i can even open attachments on the mac. However on trying to attach a document to an email it keeps coming up wth an error stating ''invalid file selected'' each time i tr. Can anyone advice me what i need to do to address this please?
many thanksSince your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.
System requirements are found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
