Loose harddrive when upgraded / possibly causing bad sectors

Hello,
Just recently I upgraded my hard drive (2.5in. Western Digital Scorpio Blue: 640 GB) and put my files on it, set up boot camp, ect…, but then my computer was acting funny (errors, slow performance, stalling) on the second week I used my computer (mostly on my windows side). So I ran some disk checking software (Drive Genius 3) and it found 50+ bad sectors on my hard drive and growing. So before I replace my hard drive I want to find out why my hard drive went bad so quickly. After thinking about it, I noticed my hard drive was loose when I installed it, I tried using the mounts that came with my computer, but they didn’t secure it. So if anyone has any ideas about how to properly secure the drive or what can be causing it to have bad sectors, please let me know.
Thanks in advance

Sounds like you got a bad hard drive. Sometimes hard drives fail prematurely / unexpectedly. That's why it is good to regularly backup your files. If you got it as recently as implied in your post, the hard drive should be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
As far as physically mounting the hard drive in your computer, you should look at the repair guides on ifixit.com. The hard drive should be seated securely. If it wiggles around you probably did something wrong (ie didn't reattach the mounting screws). See the following link:

Why won't downloaded artwork transfer to iPod?

Hi all!
I am having a problem where artwork that I downloaded through iTunes is not transferring to my 80GB iPod. This applies only to artwork that I have downloaded from iTunes. Artwork that I have manually put in transfers and displays just fine. The artwork is showing up in iTunes and when I transfer it to iPod, the artwork is gone. I've already done the basic stuff ('display album art' is checked, the artwork shows up in iTunes when I look at the song info, but not on the iPod), so has anybody else had this problem and solved it? I'm thinking its some lame copyright restriction thing, but I haven't found anything official from Apple pertaining to this.

Hmmm. . . does that include artwork that you downloaded using iTunes for songs that you did not buy on iTunes? That is my specific issue. Songs that I bought on iTunes transfer with the artwork just fine. Its songs that I ripped from a CD that I later added the artwork to using iTunes' 'Download Album Art' feature that I have a problem with. I guess I should have been more clear.

Why do I loose effects when I flatten layers?

I've been working on a poster composed of several groups of layers and probably around a total of 80 layers. When I flatten the image, I loose all of my layer effects, things like bevel and emboss on text get flattened out. What is happening here and how do I fix it?

thanks, that is what is happening. If I view the effects where the poster fits the screen, the relative effects look much differently than when I view at 100%.
So my follow-up question is why the effects look dramatically different based on magnification? I realize that they cannot be precise at lower magnification, but it is not even close to being representative between low and full magnification. If a "flattened" version of the lower magnification can be accurate enough, why can't an unflattened version at the same magnification look the same?

Why won't album artwork show on ipod touch 4g?

My itunes vers 10 is showing all of my cover art. I have gone thru each track and made sure the artwork is attached to each track however only a fraction of the artwork shows on my ipod touch after syncing. I have tried to reboot ipod to no avail. Per other message board posts I have looked for a box to check which reads "Display album artwork on ipod" but I see no such button under Preferences nor on the Music tab when ipod is connected. Pls advise. Thx!

I have had this problem since iOS4 and I recently (mostly) resolved it in iOS6.
1. First make sure you do not 'Sign In' into iTunes store.
2. I used playlists to resolve the issue. Create a playlist with one song, preferably one that does not have any album art.
3. Create another playlist with all the songs you want to add.
4. With your iTouch/iPhone attached open iTunes. Go to Device->Music. Under Sync Music:choose "Selected playlists,albums and genres". Choose the one song playlist from those shown. Click on the Sync(Apply) button. This will delete all of the songs.
5. Once the deletion is complete choose the playlist with all the songs. Click on the Apply(Sync)button. This will install all the songs again and with album artwork.
6. Once all the songs have been installed click on all the playlists that you want to add (no new songs) and click on the Sync(Apply) button again.
You should now have your songs with album artwork and playlists installed. Hope this helps. The song in the one song playlist won't have any artwork even if it is included. There were some albums whose artwork were not installed. I had a 95% success rate. As I said, it mostly solves the problem for me.

Why am I loosing images when i export from InDesign to a pdf?

ON every page of my in design file i have a picture and a logo, when i export this file, I loose the logo on every page but still have all the photos. Can anyone help?

With no text insertion active you can hit the W key to toggle Preview mode, or use the button on the bottom of the toolbox.
it is a white logo on a black back ground
That's what I suspected. This is a fairly common problem with Illustrator art that started out as Black and was converted to White, and needs to be fixed in Illustrator. Most likely the Black was set to overprint and that carried through to the white on conversion. ID is smart enough to remove the overprint attribute when you do this, but Illy is not.
Right-click on the logo, then choose Edit Original... Does it open in Illustrator? (IF not, waht format is it?) If it does, select anything white and open the Attributes panel, uncheck the Overprint boxes.
White, or [Paper] in ID, is not really a color, but is the absence of color. The way it works is that it knocks out any color behind it, exposing the paper. Overprint means that the current color will print on top of the exisiting color without removing it, and so you are telling ID to put nothing on top of the color, so that's what you see.

Why do I loose sharpness when I export out of Aperture?

My images look almost blurred once exported out of Aperture 3.0. ! I am finding in my reading that others have been having this problem for years! Has Apple not fixed this yet? I may have to go to Photoshop, but really don't want to!!!

That doesn't sound right at all. My exports looks fine. I wonder if it could be some kind of glitch or something...
Just out of curiosity, what do your export preferences look like? What quality setting do you have for jpegs, and what dpi for external editor file format? How about the dpi in your export presets you've been using? How about your RAW Fine Tuning sharpness sliders? (although that would affect how your images appear in Aperture, although it is subtle)
Aperture has limited (but effective) sharpening options, and by default rendering the images are softer than what you might be used to if you used to process your RAW images with ACR (Photoshop, Lightroom). But I was able to match the default ACR rendering (in terms of sharpness, I mean) with Aperture by maxing out the sharpness sliders in RAW Fine Tuning and applying a Sharpen Edges adjustment with only mildly aggressive sharpening.
Oh, that reminds me, which sharpness adjustment are you using? Sharpen is from the previous versions of Aperture, and is included for legacy/compatibility purposes with images that were processed in Aperture 1 & 2. Sharpen Edges is much more advanced and is generally recommended over the other.

The album artwork on my iPod Classic is all mixed up. Wrong artwork on each song..

Why does the album artwork on my iPod Classic get all mixed up wheres it is correct in the library. Please help

Hello Derick,
This usually happens as the result of a corrupt iPod artwork cache. The only way to correct this is to restore your iPod to factory settings via iTunes. Doing so will rebuild your iPod's artwork cache. Not exactly sure as to how or why the corruption happened to begin with.

I used to be able to add artwork to my iPod Classic until I updated iTunes. Now, even when I put a new song on it - no artwork.

I was able to add artwork to my iPod Classic - after updating I don't get any on iPod.

For some reason the music is not actually on the iPod. When you play it, you are really streaming it via wifi and that is why it is asking for a wifi PW.
Therefore, make sure that the music if fully downloaded on the iPod before you want to play it away from an internet connection.

Why doesn't my artwork go with the songs when I transfer them?

If I make a playlist from songs on my PC and these all have artwork then transfere said playlist to my phone the artwork doesn't follow.
Is there any good reason for this?
Thanks
Edward.

*Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.
*Rebuild artwork cache*
Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

Why is non-embedded artwork taking up 500% more space on iPod Classic

Hi all
Following on from this thread:
How to tell if my mp3s have embedded artwork (artwork file bigger than it should be)?
If anyone has a moment (anyone who does not embed artwork that is), would you mind comparing your PC Hard Drive and iPod in terms of how much space they use for the same amount of artwork?
I am using Foobar iPod Manager to transfer. I have one cover.jpg file per album, and even though I have the exact same artwork on my PC Hard Drive and iPod, the iPod uses 145MB more storage space (about 500% I think!). I've no idea if this is just how the iPod stores artwork, or if there is another reason. I'd be curious to see how yours looks and/or to hear why this happens.
Cheers
Max

Well, an update has come from another forum and I thought I would post it here in case others stumble here in the future searching for an answer to the same question.
Apparently, the non-embedded artwork on the iPod is in an uncompressed format instead of JPG and therefore takes up more space. Seems a bit odd, seeing as I am loading jpegs onto the iPod. I can only presume the iPod decompresses them at some stage.
Cheers

Error 8288 when upgrading my first gen Ipod Touch to IOS 3.1.

I am having some trouble trying to get IOS 3.1 on my first generation Ipod touch. I have the latest Itunes, I do not have any dvd burning software like Anydvd that can interfere, and I've tried it on two different computers with no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated.

msoviolist, I opened a ticket via their so called "Express Lane" support page, I assume it'll take a couple of emails before they decide to credit you for the download. I would suggest linking to these two threads in the correspondence, this is what I included in the message;

"iPod Service Failed to Start" message when upgrading iTunes

When upgrading iTunes from Version 7 to the newest version, I got an error message stating "Service, 'iPod Service' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priviledges to start system services." So I canceled the download and rolled back to Version 7 again. I did notice that now I'm getting an error message when I start up Version 7, stating that it could not start the iPod service. I just bought an ipod Classic and cannot use it without the latest version of iTunes. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint.
