    iTunes Burning Issue

    I'm having an odd burning issue in iTunes. I created a playlist of 19 songs and tried to burn them. It errors out and says that the attempt to burn disk failed and it can't reattempt because it lost connection with the drive or something. However, I created two new playlists to burn a copy...

    No, they are coming up in a few weeks. It's a pre-planned trip. ;)

    iPod battery life is short. Help.

    Ok, final thought. I think it had to do with the fact that when I charge my iPod, I sometimes forget to turn off the hold switch. Doesn't seem to be a software issue, or case issue or anything else I can think of. It's been working fine for a while now. Thanks for all the interest. :)

    Powerbook Logicboard Dead. How do I fix?

    Actually, my friend is in St. Louis Missouri. And the problem with taking it around to different places are 1) there aren't may of them. 2) it costs to have someone look at it.

    Powerbook Logicboard Dead. How do I fix?

    It seems like a lot of Powerbook users are having issues with the Powerbook (1.5GH?) logic board. My friend now has the same issue as his is dead. Out of warranty of course. Questions to those who have similar issues with a Powerbook logic board: 1) How much is it for the part? 2)...

    Outlook to Entourage (was: "Help Please!!!!!!")

    What if you go from Outlook to Thunderbird to Entourage. Would that work? Maybe not the best idea, but it might work. ;) Or skip Entourage and use Thunderbird!

    Powerbook won't load desktop.

    Everything was backed up so we were all good. That and I could start in target disk mode for some reason. Plus why spend money on a hard drive when you can put it twards a new mac. :) I returned my external hard drive and put the money twards a new iMac. Much nicer. ;)

    Powerbook won't load desktop.

    It was a major hard drive issue. I had to buy a new one and install it. Quite easy and now everything is great!

    iPod battery life is short. Help.

    Guess what? My battery has lasted all day and it not even in the red yet! I gotta figure out what is causing the issue. Case? Maybe. Pod2Go software? No idea. Intel processor? Doubt it.

    Powerbook won't load desktop.

    Thanks, that looks like a great tutorial!! fryke sorry about the PM. However, if I can't get anything to erase, I highly doubt OS 9 will install.

    Powerbook won't load desktop.

    Here is the latest update. I got the hard drives to show up in target disk mode so I backed everything up I could. I then restarted the laptop via the Tiger install disk and it didn't mount any hard drives. I ran disk first aid and everything was fine (or so it said) but I can't even...

    iPod battery life is short. Help.

    I was unable to force it to sleep last time I tried, but maybe I had the wrong buttons down. Thanks for the idea. Wiping it doesn't sound like fun, but I may have to try.

    iPod battery life is short. Help.

    Thank ElDia..... I may take it in this weekend. Wonder what they'll do though as they don't sell regular iPods anymore. The next closest is the 30GB Video. ;) Actually I think it has something to do with the "can't put it to sleep" issue. I'm still testing that out to see what's going on.

    iPod battery life is short. Help.

    Today I kept the volume below 1/2 and let it run until it died. It lasted until 12:15pm. Started about 7:30am. So I got around 4.5 hours out of the battery. This is MUCH less than I had just a few weeks ago. Is there any tech tools for iPods? How long is the warranty? Thanks

    Powerbook won't load desktop.

    By harddrive is gone, do you mean software or hardware? I can mount in Target Disk Mode. Most backup was already done as I just moved to my new iMac. I also have four partitions. Maybe I'll just install OSX on another one to see what happens. My poor wife is going to think Macs suck after...

    iPod battery life is short. Help.

    Another (possibly related) issue. When I unplug the audio cord from my external speakers or when I un-dock my iPod from my Intel iMac, it won't sleep!! I select sleep from the menu and nothing happens, same with holding down the play button. When I un-dock it from my G5 iMac at work, it...

    Powerbook won't load desktop.

    I recently gave my Powerbook 667 to my wife and last night it had issues. At 9 I went to put it to sleep and the mouse would move but I couldn't select anything. The clock said 7:45 so it had been frozen for a while. I just shut it down and went to bed. Today, when I start it up, the desktop...

    How do I copy a DVD?

    If I wanted to make a copy of my Shrek DVD, what software would you recommend? I only have one DVD drive so I guess I'd have to rip it first. Any software suggestions?
