Aw'righ'...well I am getting my new Ipod tonight, and giving the old one away, and I am wondering, if I "plug" my new one into the same computer, with the same I-tunes on it, will all the songs I had on the old one go into the new one?

I'm 90% sure you have to physically load them onto your ipod. That's what logic is telling me anyway.

Yes, you will just have to tell iTunes that you are using a new iPod (it will auto-recognize once you plug it in and you hear that annoying noise) then you just have to go under the iPod options and set how you want stuff sync'd up to it and then you're done.




Oh and if anyone needs anything coverted I've got a folder with dbpoweramp, the power pack (no more trial), and every codec made for it.

i feel the need to post this in regards to SEBs post lol dont know why

aye thanks =]

^ i had to

Oh ha I was talking to Moses, I didn't see your post.
Anywho. Yeah thanks for that too.

ok so i got an aim virus last night..how do i go abouts removing it...i dlested aim, and im going to d-load this aim thing thta scans for all known viruses but does anyone have any info?

oh and moses, yout ftp is done

What makes a rar file a rar file and why does my computer hate them? Anything I can do to fix it?

^ winrar..

www.download.com
Get WinRAR

First what OS are you running because if it isn't windows you'll have to get Wine for linux or you could get boot camp if you have a Mac then you could get a pirated windows OS and run both along side eachother. That'd be good. But if you have a Mac I will pray for you, they suck horribly

I have windows but doc is gonna send me winrar already installed so, all is fixed.

ok, i'm not even sure if the boy is here any more but just the same, anyone else with rudimentary computer knowledge can answer...

so i got a flat rate account right, and i'm downloading tv shows and films. now, i would preffer to watch them on the tv so i wanna burn then on a dvd. today i downloaded nero 7.5.7 and tried to burn the dave chapelle show season one. it has about 4gb of data...and when i put it to burn...after about a minute of "processing data to burn" windows crashed on me.

now here are my questions, i have a 2gb CPU, a 40Gb main drive ( plain old ATA ), a 200gb slave ( SATA through a PCI adapter cos my motherboard doesn't support SATA ) and 512mb of ram ( make that 700-and-somethin, i bought an aditional 512mb of good ol DDR ( again, the motherboard doesn't support DDR2 ) in adition to the pre-existing 512 but it's only showin 700-somethin...dunno why )....isn't that quite enough power to burn a DVD? i mean, what kind of a computer do i have to have to burn a DVD, one of them mega-fuckin-computers NASA uses?!

i'm assuming some of you are burning DVDs...what configurations do you have?

does anyone know why i might be having problems? ( in adition to the windows crashing when i try to burn a DVD, they often freeze when i do multitasking ( yes, men can do it to.....or is it because i'm gay?:-/) which never happened while i was just downloading music and had only one hard drive.....

is it that my computer is having difficulties processing so much data ( tv-series and films bittorrent style ) or is the new hard drive connected unnaturally to the motherboard where the problem lies?

help me solve this puzzle....do i need a new computer?

Try something called DVD shrink my friend
also press ctrl alt del to see if anyhting fishy is running
and if its a compaq or dell.. there lies your problem

what is this "DVD shrink" you speak of? the download says DVD rip, i can only assume that means the data can fit perfectly onto a dvd no? at first it told me that there isn't enough space on the hard drive but then i chose the wirte directly to dvd option....is that why it had problems processing it?

and we don't buy ready made computers here, we make a compilation ourselves....

ctrl alt del doesn't solve anything once your computer freezes....oddly enough...it used to...that's why i loved windows xp...just ctrl alt del and shut down the frozen program....now the whole system goes crazy.....methinks something is rotten in the state of denmark...but could it be?

to keep it in one thread, yes i know it's you mikey
the computer sees the disk otherwise i couldn't download data onto it...but the repair man had some problems installing it as the master, said it didn't register...but as a slave it does......i swear, this shit only happens to me...

well you could return it and get an ata no? do me a favor go into run>dxdiag and print the screen and post it

no i couldn't because they don't have ata's anymore apparently....well not 200gigs or more, and anything less is useless...

could it be that i haven't partitioned the 200 gig drive?

hmm i highly doubt it, but ill look into it, because it should usually only be partioned when it has an OS on it, and you say you use your 40gig for that, it should just pop up in your my computer thing, then right click and get properties see how much is actually being reckgonized, because, some OS's canot suppoer more tha 200gigs

never before have i seen such problems with installing a fucking hard drive....why in the hell do they sell these fucking SATA drives if windows, the most popular operating system is having MAJOR FUCKING PROBLEMS WITH THEM?!?!i've formated my original disks cause obviously something was fucked, and reinstalled windows and it doesn't recognise the SATA drive....and the manual that came with the adapter is so fucking vague and unhelpfull i should fucking sue their asses for emotional damage!! yeah, just run the setup program, sure man WHICH ONE?!?! THERE'S A GAZILLION OF THEM ON THE GODDAMN INSTALATION CD!!SHIT!!! THIS IS GONNA TAKE FOREVER!!
well, at least my computer isn't crashing anymore....*shrugs.....commits suicide*

is your computer plugged in?
jk
did you load the drivers?

yeah, i downloaded some shit from the PCI card's manufacturer's web site....didn't help...i'm just gonna go buy a nice ATA drive and be done with this shit...

^ you said you commited suicide. liar!

damn....buh-sted!

do you get mails in your inbox every goddamn time someone posts on MB?
cause i do
and that thing where it says to get notifications bla bla is disabled

again with computer problems...i bought a regular ATA drive this time, tried to install it, computer freezes up....i have no idea what i'm doing wrong, please someone, help....

it says on the back of the HD to put the jumper to second place if you want to choose cable select, i put the jumpers on both drives ( the main one and the aditional one ) like that and connected the aditional HD on the same cable as the main one only with the grey connector ( just like it says on the back of the HD )...

when i remove the new one, everything works fine, when i put the new one, the computer goes bezerk....*cries*

Bump...

I have a bit of a problem. I recently restored my computer to factory settings, all my **** was erased. I got it all back after a week or two of work, oh and by the way, this is was due to a Trojan virus.

So now, happy again, a fresh laptop with all my files. My norton antivirus expired, and since I'm a cheap ass too pay $70 again, I got no protection.
After surfing the web, I got a new virus within a week.
****!
It is something like ThinkPoint, or at least it was an icon that displayed.

So my question is, anyone know how to get rid of it? I downloaded Malwarebytes and ran three scans, deleted the infected files, but still, it remains active.

And what free Antivirus software do you guys know of or use?

xEMGx there is a technical computer support thread pinned in the lounge already.

Dammit, I searched for computers, no wonder I couldn't find it. Thanks.

Anytime. :)
