Winamp with ROKR/SLVR - Almost working! There's hope yet!

As several other users have noted, copying songs to a phone with iTunes is painfully slow. Quite often my songs take 15+ minutes PER SONG to copy. That speed cannot be blamed on transcoding or USB 1.1.
Recently an online group released v1.42 of the mlipod plugin for winamp ( http://www.mlipod.com/ ), which lets you manage your ipod through winamp's media library. A major new feature of this plugin is SLVR compatibility! After installing it and testing it, I can say three things:
1: Copy speed is MUCH faster than iTunes. Each song takes about 15 seconds. That's more like it!
2: Transcoding does not work, so you have to manually select 192kbps or lower mp3s to copy over. This covers much, but not all of my collection. Sadly, the stuff I like most I've made a point of getting at higher bitrates.
3: There are still bugs. After the 2nd batch of songs that I copied over, my entire song library on my phone disappeared. Not cool. It might be a one time thing, but the plugin IS new, so we'll see.
Anyway, conclusions to draw from this:
1: slow copy speeds are iTunes fault, and NOT usb 1.1.
2: There is hope in sight. If they can add transcoding (and they will be soon), then this will work great for many users.
Honestly, I do prefer iTunes as a media manager over winamp. But 15 minutes per song? That's just not acceptable.

Hi Grant
I took the 2nd harddrive out and put it in the caddy and it was fine. So that has indeed narrowed it down to something internal, either the cable or the SATA port on the motherboard.
Iv been looking on ebay to find a harddrive cable, but there seems to be some listed with a extra part, some listed with the infared diode. Not sure which one to get. Both part numbers are the same. iFixit shows type 2.
Type 1
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OEM-Macbook-Pro-15-A1286-HDD-Hard-Drive-Cable-821-0812 -A-821-0989-A-821-1198-A-/111042391045?pt=AU_Components&hash=item19daa46c05
Type 2
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HDD-Cable-f-Macbook-Pro-unibody-15-A1286-hard-drive-82 1-0812-A-SATA-Interface-/110965222159?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d60aeb0f& autorefresh=true
Also, has anyone bought these cables from china? Comes with warranty. Or is it best to buy from iFixit?
Thanks
Zed

After upgrading to Maverick mailboxes have disappeared. Even after checking library, rebuild etc. they are gone. With important data. Is there any hope?

Maverick - lost all my mailboxes (Apple Mail) with important datat. Followed advice on help menu to reindex, rebuild; called Apple Chat. No help.
Losing important data is a HUGE problem.
Also, Maverick no longer has the many folders I once had in my Home scree. These folders included other important information
carefully arranged. Are the files somewhere else? In what order? What a mess!

I woke up this morning with the same problem (all was fine last night). Only way to get all my mailbox folders back was to use Time Machine while in Mail, choosing the backup file from previous night and selecting EACH MAILBOX to restore (23 for me). All appears okay so far today (except some of my accessories in the menu bar are gone).
I sure hope an update comes SOON. In anticipation of Mavericks and the new MAIL I switched from Outlook 2011 3 weeks ago transfering 17,000+ files and would hate to back

Is there a driver to let a ps2 keyboard plugged in with a usb connector work on my macbook pro 13inch

is there a driver to let a ps2 keyboard plugged in with a usb connector work on my macbook pro 13inch?
I know there are more threads about this subject but none was really an answer.
I got a keyboard (brand medion) with a ps2 connector. i wanted it to connect to my macbook so i bought an ps2 to usb connecter.
wile connected with my macbook the keyboard leds flash one time like they do when you put it in a ps2. but after this just doesn' t work
I think i might miss a driver or its just turned of somwhere in the system. an previous answer was said something about a safe reboot and a lot of codes but thats to hard for me.
so any good solutions????

I've never found a PS2 to USB adapter that worked, or IIRC I've never found one at all. I have USB TO PS2 but not the other way. Just go out and buy a new keyboard. PS2 is so late 90s/early 2000s

Unlocked means unlocked, so yes.
But, support and namely warranty coverage may not be available for you in Norway or anywhere but in the US with any iPhone purchased in the US, even an unlocked iPhone purchased in the US.

HT1338 My G5 PowerPC still works great, but what is the latest OS that is possible. I just bought a new HP Printer and it is not compatible with OS 10.4. Is there any hope?

A PPC G5 cannot run any version of OS X beyond Leopard 10.5.8.
You should be able to find a Leopard retail (black) install disk on eBay. A grey update disk is machine specific and won't work.

My up to date iMac can not read the lightroom 5 installation dvd I received for christmas, the dvd player works fine with other dvd's, is there a way to download the program with the dvd's serial number?

No need to worry about the disk version. You would just have to install an update anyway as soon as it was installed. Download from the link provided below and use the serial number you have to activate.

Try going to the following

You can also access this by way of keyboard shortcut Ctrl + U
The View Page Source option is also available via the right-click menu by just right-clicking inside the page window & it will be the penultimate menu item.

I have a iPhone4 acquired in Portugal. I will be moving to the EQUATOR (South America). Whenever I have visited the country before, with other cellphones, they did not work (different band) forcing me to buy a local cellphone. Will my iPhone4S work there?

If it is unlocked it will work if you get a SIM from the carrier you will be using. Note that Apple does not and cannot unlock phones. Only the carrier it is presently locked to can unlock it.

Hi,
The movie is probably MPEG format.
QuickTime Pro and iMovie cannot transcode audio contained in MPEG movies.
Try to convert with SimpleMovieX or MPEG Streamclip instead.

Apple does not unlock iPhones. however, T-Mobile, where you live does offer official unlocking. So, contact them as to the cost/requirements.

I have a desktop machine windows 7 based with CS5 loaded and working without problem. I have recently purchased a laptop running 8.1 windows. I have loaded the cs5 package onto the laptop and it appears to work but when I try to update, although I am being told there are updates it attempts to download the update but then tells me there is a problem and to quit and try again later.. I have tried a number of times to download the updates but itkeeps telling me to quit and try later. what is wrong please?

There could be a 32 bit vs 64 bit issues-is the old machine a 32 bit? and what is the new machine as far as 32/64 bit. I am not sure now if CS5 has in the help menu of the PS app the selection to update within PS if so that might work. I know that the Creative cloud app for installs updates etc has caused me much consternation over the last couple few years. Last it could be something like your Software firewall settings or anti-virus anti malware programs. I know that updating the infamous adobe flash that Internet Explorer pop ups setting and having AV turned on as opposed to off can interfere or plain break the update ability

IPhone 5. My on-off button rarely works. I can power off with assistive touch. Is there a way to power on with assistive touch, given that the icon disappears?

My on-off button rarely works. I can power off with assistive touch. Is there a way to power on without the on-off switch?

Depending on what you mean by power off. If you mean putting the phone to Sleep, you can tap on the Home button to bring it back. If you turn it off completely, then the only way to turn it on is to use the physical Power Button.
