What to do when the ssd "wears out"?

I recently bought a Macbook Pro with Retina Display, 256gb ssd, 8gb memory. However, after reading into the difference between hdd and ssd, I noticed that ssd's have a shorter lifespan because of each cell having a read/write limit. my question is what to do when the ssd "wears out" or dies? Is it impossible to fix or can I just buy another ssd? Thanks in advance.

Depending on the brand and technologies used by the maker, you can get a fair build
and a better guaranty or warranty with a product such as OWC offers. However one
has to always maintain suitable backups and duplicates, not just timemachine effects
but also complete bootable full system clones in external drives that don't use the
computer's port power to sustain or run them.
And also backup power supplies that filter grid power to limit damages from high and
low voltage, along with other effects of nature and man that can destroy electronics.
The backup scheme of over-redundancy is the answer to the problem of when product
failure can cost you not only a livelihood, but perhaps a few years of your life, too. And
not everyone can use the Cloud backup, some ISPs are incapable of troublefree file
handling and a local backup is a better use of your time if something happens.
SSDs wear out. Expect them to and be ready for that to happen. Mark your calendars!

My iPOD classic (last generation) shuts off when jostled--like what happens when the headphones come out. Any fix for this?

My iPOD class (last generation) shuts off when jostled--like what
happens when the headphones come out. Is there any fix for this?

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

Pausing swfs and audio in a browser when the tab is out of focus

I'm trying to code my flash file so that the html will pause all swfs AND audio when the tab is out of foucs. I found this code on http://frontenddeveloper.net/wiki/index.php?title=JavaScript_and_VBScript_Injection_in_Act ionScript_3 and it works,but not completely. It only pauses the movie clips that are in the Flash file and not any that are exteranlly loaded with audio included.
How can I adjust it to pause the externally loaded swfs that are loaded to a mc within my main movie clip and the audio OR what should I use in place of this code? Someone mentioned on a different post that I needed to use a window.onblur funcition, but they didn't give details.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.utils.setTimeout;
// This is a more "safe than sorry" setting, since multiple domains
// have entry into my site. Can be removed or hardcoded if you feel
// secure or insecure, as you see fit.
flash.system.Security.allowDomain("*");
// Throw any errors around to make sure somebody actually gets them.
ExternalInterface.marshallExceptions = true;
// This is not the most ideal way to toggle animations on and off, but
// it's thorough, generic, and simple. Iterate all movieclips within
// clip, shutting them down each in turn. A better, but much more tedious
// method would be to target specific clips using dotpath notation, telling
// each in turn to turn off or on depending on what we need.
// BUT this is just a demo, and what we're really interested in is the
// event-handling mechanism that actually calls this routine, and not the
// routine itself.
function toggleAllClips(doAnim, clip) {
if ( clip is MovieClip) {
if (doAnim) {
   clip.play();
} else {
   clip.stop();
for (var i = 0; i<clip.numChildren; i++) {
   toggleAllClips(doAnim, clip.getChildAt(i));
function animOn(e:*=null) {
toggleAllClips(true, this.mainMC);
function animOff(e:*=null) {
toggleAllClips(false, this.mainMC);
function injectPrep(e:*=null) {
try {
ExternalInterface.addCallback("jsanimOn", animOn);
ExternalInterface.addCallback("jsanimOff", animOff);
} catch (e) {
trace(e);
function injectListeners(e:*=null) {
try {
// Object/Embed ID of this movie needs to be inserted into the
// JavaScript before we actually wrap and send it to the browser:
var jsfix=js.toString().replace(/xxx/g, ExternalInterface.objectID);
ExternalInterface.call(jsfix);
} catch (e) {
trace(e);
// Using timeouts ensures the movie is actually done loading before
// these fire, helping compatibility for a few browser versions.
setTimeout(injectPrep,0);
setTimeout(injectListeners,100);
JAVASCRIPTS
JavaScript needs to be wrapped in a tag, a cdata, and a closure
function in order to be wrapped up and sent to the browser.
Note that an ActionScript function will replace all instances
of "xxx" with the actual ID used for this SWF.
We're battling some major bugs and crossbrowser idiosyncrasies
here:
1) In Internet Explorer the 'onblur' event is implemented
    incorrectly (as opposed to Firefox/Mozilla browsers). It is
    wrongly fired when focus is switched between HTML elements
    *inside* a window. As a result, we have to use onfocusout
    instead of onblur, and keep track of which element is active.
    If we focusout and the active element is not the previous
    active element, then we haven't actually "blurred" and dont
    want to trigger Flash.
2) Firefox has problems interpreting both getElementById and
    document["swf"] when dealing with "twicebaked" object/embeds.
    Adobe's method of finding the swf fails to address the fact
    that document["swf"] sometimes returns an array in this
    situation rather than an object ref, and getElementById
    sometimes confuses name and id.
3) When a window is created in Firefox, it doesn't actually have
    "focus" (event though it appears to) and therefore won't "blur"
    unless you actually click in it first, i.e if you open up a
    window, then immediately send it to the background, it never
    gets the command to halt the flash. So we have to explicitly
    focus the blasted thing to get it to work properly.
4) Because of irregularities caused by Ajax, the way browsers shut
    down, and other factors, there's a good chance our swf won't
    be there when a blur (or focusout) event occurs. Therefore we
    need an explicit check within the event handler itself.
5) Finally, we want to wrap everything inside a wrapper-closure
    function, to keep everything safe from being stepped on. Lucky
    us, we have to do this anyways to get everything to fit inside
    a single ExternalInterface.call event.
var js:XML = <script><![CDATA[
( function() {
var active_element; // tracker for ie fix;
var bIsMSIE = false;
// Modified version of Adobe's code resolves a bug in FF:
function getSWF(movieName) {
    if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
      return window[movieName];
    } else {
      // Resolves a bug in FF where an array is sometimes returned instead of a
      // single object when using a nested Object/Embed.
      if(document[movieName].length != undefined){
        return document[movieName][1];
      return document[movieName];
// Need to check for swf each time we try this because the swf may actually be gone
// because of ajax or a window closure event. Prevents error dialog from popping up.
// Future release should check for this condition and then remove the calling event
// so it doesn't keep triggering.
function animOff(){
    if (bIsMSIE && (active_element != document.activeElement)) {
      active_element = document.activeElement;
    } else {
      var logoThang = getSWF("xxx");
      if(logoThang){logoThang.jsanimOff();}
function animOn(){
    if (bIsMSIE && (active_element != document.activeElement)) {
      active_element = document.activeElement;
    } else {
      var logoThang = getSWF("xxx");
      if(logoThang){logoThang.jsanimOn();}
// Add the listeners. Hear ye, here ye.
if (typeof window.addEventListener !== "undefined") {
    // Firefox, Mozilla, et al.
    window.addEventListener("blur", animOff, false);
    window.addEventListener("focus", animOn, false);
} else if (typeof window.attachEvent !== "undefined") {
    // Internet Explorer
    bIsMSIE = true;
    window.attachEvent("onfocus", animOn);
// Another bug: window.onblur ALWAYS fires in IE, so
// we have to keep track of what we're clicking using
// another method:
active_element = document.activeElement;
document.attachEvent("onfocusout", animOff);
// Necessary to trigger toggling in FF if the page hasn't actually been clicked in and the page
// is sent to the background. Can be commented out if necessary, e.g. if you don't want the page
// popping to the top or want focus to remain somewhere else like a form field.
window.focus();
]]></script>;

I added this code and it removes the externally loaded swfs. I don't want that, I want them to pause and then resume when the tab is back in foucs. Also, the main code restarts the main movie clip upon refocusing too.
Added code:
function toggleAllLoaders(doAnim, loader) {
if ( loader is Loader) {
if (doAnim) {
   loader.play();
} else {
   loader.stop();
for (var i = 0; i<loader.numChildren; i++) {
   toggleAllLoaders(doAnim, loader.getChildAt(i));
I added the new function to all of the places that had the "toggleAllClips" function.

HT5567 What has occurred when the Iphone goes blank?

What has occurred when the IPhone has gone blank?

hi please repost your answer...not sure what you are saying...ps: the old iphone didn't have this problem and the cases were the same so not sure this is a valid reason!?
I was trying to indicate that I have noticed the upp part of the iPhone 3g has a sensor(s) above the ear piece. If this area is covered while talking on the phone I have noticed that when the conversation is over. The iPhone is blank. If I expose this area, the iPhone screen is once again visable.
Here are links of what I am explaining:
http://www.pielframa.com/cases_iphone.htm
iPhone 2gs have the area above and around the ear piece covered. The manufacturer of the case has redesigned the case exposing this area on the 3g's look here:
http://www.pielframa.com/casesiphone3g.htm
I have figured out that in using my old case I must push the iPhone 3g up and out of the case enough to wake the screen.
I hope this helps.

When the license run out.

Hi. I was wondering what happens when the license runs out for the Nokia 5800 maps application?
Will i loose all the functionality or merely the "extra" functions (Walk, drive).
Will i still be able to use the maps and search functions without a license?

you will be able to use maps but witouth the voice guidance and the 'extras' as you said. you can continue to update maps with the newest releases etc. or you can also opt to purchase an extension for the maps you have its your call.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

Why is my ipod shuffle pausing my music when the screen times outs?

My Ipod shuffle is pausing whenever the screen times out...please help.

Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug.
A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.

Will the price of the iPhone5s drop when the iPhone6 comes out?

Will the price of the iPhone5s drop when the iPhone6 comes out?
I currently don't have a phone right now and I was wondering if I should by the 5s now or wait till to 6 comes out and buy it then (If the price is going to drop). Or should I just buy the iPhone 6????

Look at the prices at your carrier and the Apple stores and other authorized dealers.
If they go down, then, yes, prices drop.
If they do not, then no.
