Why are the 'artists' of podcasts cluttering my iPod

This is what's annoying me: when I browse the artists list, I have no desire having to scroll through Podcast artists. Their names also change from show to show by the same artists, which causes even more clutter. Strangely enough, my previous iPod (G4) did omit the podcaster's names from the artists list. Is there a setting like for that of 'compilation' for soundtracks?
Thanks!

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

TS3697 why are the photos I want on my ipod underlit

Brand new iPad. Big after-race celebration party; can't transfer the finish line photos and video from my MACBOOK to the ipod for party viewing. I can see them, but they are underlit. Once again, the apple products don't come through.

Here are the things you can do
Disable Auto-Brightness
Choose your location
Set a specific brightness
Disable Auto-Brightness
The iPad has a great feature that automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen according to the ambient brightness at your location. It is on by default. When you are sat by the window or some other bright location the screen brightness increases to compensate, and vice-versa. This works really well but is not good for image editing when need some consistency so turn the feature off. Go to Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper and flick the slider.
Choose your location
The brightness of the ambient light where you are using your iPad makes a huge difference to the way the screen looks. If you are in a bright location the screen will look dim and the colours washed out no matter how high you turn the brightness up. Similarly if you are in a very dark place the screen is going to look very bright indeed, and even hurt your eyes – if you have every used your iPad in the dark with the lights out you will know what I mean! – it is not possible to turn the brightness down very far. So it comes as no surprise to be somewhere not too bright and not too dark and don’t have sunlight falling across the screen.
Set a specific brightness
The next thing is to set a suitable brightness manually so while you are in the Brightness & Wallpaper setting you can adjust the slider to set the brightness you need.. but how bright or dim should it be? You need to use a familiar image as a reference.

Why are the pod casts still on my iPod? iTunes said they aren't anymore?

I Have recently bought an iPod touch, 5 generation. I am having trouble with my simpsons epidodes and decided that i should delete them off my ipod and re download them. i connected to itunes, and synced it. Itunes now says that they have been taken off my ipod. So i looked at my ipod and the videos are still on there?!? why is this? i have fiddled around with it for around an hour now and i cant seem to remove them off my ipod. Please help.

To delete all podcasts go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Podcasts Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Podcasts
Next would be to restore the iPod

Why are the 8 apps installed on my iPod taking up 13G of space?! (The largest one is supposedly only 57mb)

So I have 8 apps installed on my iPod right now and for some reason after I deleted one very large app (I had 9 apps) the space used on my iPod actually increased??? The larges app that I've installed only takes up about 57mb of space so I'm very confused. Can anyone tell my why this might be happening and/or how I could fix this? Thank you very much!

HT201991 Why can't I see my iTunes Store reviews? Are the artists having reviews moderated? It's been a week...

Why can't I see my iTunes Store reviews? Are the artists having reviews moderated? It's been a week after writing a review on a few albums I purchased. I can see the reviews I've left when I view the settings in my iTunes account. The problem I'm having is that my vanity requires me knowing if people find my reviews to be helpful or useful - I actually put effort into some of my reviews. It would be nice to see feedback on the more critical reviews rather than seeing nothing but cult-followers of various artists leaving carpet-bomb 5-star reviews. It kinda diminishes the quality and legitimacy of iTune's recommendations as well as how they sort popular artists.

Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from I-Photo not viewable by a Windows PC?

Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from iPhoto not viewable on a Windows PC?

Because you did it wrong? It's hard to know unless you tell us what you did.
What should work:
Select the photos you want to share
File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to the disk with the Finder.
This User Tip

has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over

Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

Why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?

why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Why are the threads start and terminate randomly?

Hi there,
I got the program below. I am wondering why are the threads start and terminate randomly? Everytime, I run the program, it produces different results.
I know that these four threads have got same normal priority (should be 5), and under windows there is something called timeslice. Then these four threads rotate using this timeslice. How do we know what exactly the timeslice is in seconds? If the timeslice is fix, then why the results are ramdom?
Thanks in advance!

public class MyThreadOne implements Runnable {
String tName;
Thread t;
MyThreadOne(String threadName) {
tName = threadName;
t = new Thread(this, tName);
t.start();
public void run() {
try {
System.out.println("Thread: " + tName);
Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println("Exception: Thread "
+ tName + " interrupted");
System.out.println("Terminating thread: " + tName);
public static void main(String args[]) {
// Why are the threads start and terminate randomly?
new MyThreadOne("1");
new MyThreadOne("2");
new MyThreadOne("3");
new MyThreadOne("4");
try {
Thread.sleep(10000);
// Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(
"Exception: Thread main interrupted.");
System.out.println(
"Terminating thread: main thread.");
1. Firstly, I set in the main function:
Thread.sleep(10000);
and I run the program it gives:
Thread: 1
Thread: 4
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
Run it again, it gives:
Thread: 2
Thread: 4
Thread: 3
Thread: 1
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
And my question was why it outputs like this? It suppose to be:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
Why these four threads start and finish randomly each time I run the program? I use Windows, suppose there is a timeslice (i.e. 1 second), these threads have the same priority. Then the threads should start and finish in turn one by one. Am I right?
2. My second question is:
When I change the codes in the 'main' function into:
Thread.sleep(10000); -> Thread.sleep(2000);
it gives me the results like:
Thread: 1
Thread: 4
Thread: 3
Thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 2
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
Run it again:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
I tried several times. The main thread always terminates before or after the first child thread finished.
My question is why it doesn't output something like:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
or
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)

How to explain my second quesiton then? Why the main thread always terminates before some of the child threads end? Thanks a lot.

Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g!

Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g! I just want to know.

Once I find the game i will truly screenshot that it states "not compatible for these models". I just find it RIDICULOUS that my iPod touch is in good condition and some of the applications that I want download sometimes are not compatible with my iPod touch 4g. I am not going to buy an ipod 5th generation if my 4g is still going strong since the year of 2010.

Why are the download options no longer categorized as in flv, WMP, MP3 etc?

Why are the download options no longer categorized as in flv, WMP, MP3 etc?
All one gets from the download drop-down menu is:
(480p), (240p) or (360p) for example and the name of the video of course.
The way it is now, I cannot identify the type of video I am downloading as I could before.
Thanks!

Ubi,
Your assumptions are incorrect. Not all Youtube videos are offered in other formats; some are only offered in FLV format. Generally, only the very HD ones are offered in MP4. The format in which videos are offered are the decision of Youtube and/or the original poster of the video.
I opted to not pay for the VDH converter. There are FREE converters that will convert FLV to other formats, but they do not interface with VDH. Even the VDH converter is a 2-step process (in both manual or automatic mode). The converter that is included free with VDH will put an ugly icon/watermark on your converted video--every frame of the video. To find a free converter, just Google "free flv converter" (with the quotation marks).

It may be in the process of making room. What version of OSX are you on? (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network; Lion has improved it greatly.)
A clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. That should help you figure out what's going on. If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.
