I am using Sonic Record Now version 7 that I got from Dell. I keep hearing about Nero. Although I heard the latest version is full of bugs. I can't understand why I was able to do it for Naja's Lost download but not from my own.

I moved my clipart file from one laptop to another. However, some of the "moving" cliparts that I have no longer move What am I missing?

I don't think it is the files themselves if you just moved them. It may be that the viewer that you are using on your new laptop may not show moving gifs. Can you see this one on your new laptop when you are browsing here? If you can see it move in your web browser then try opening one of the ones that you moved and see if you can see it move in your web browser.
Darn! Now I'm thirsty!

Must have been teen age cliparts that just didn't want to move?

Hehe, Rosie Jimmer, I did some testing in different areas, and as it turns out, I guess the only place they won't move are in Outlook mail. I used Outlook Express before and they worked. I'm thinking I'm missing a setting somewhere. Here's something to go with your drink

Thanks for the candy bar! I'm not sure about Outlook mail and animated gifs. Maybe one of our other technical wizards can help out with that one.

Didn't there used to be a thread about MP3 players? I can't find it, so I'm asking here! We want to upgrade to bigger and better MP3 players in our house and my husband wants the 30G IPod, while I'm looking at the IPod Nano. Currently we've got a Memorex and two Sansas, all 512MB. My big concern is can we move our existing music library that is all on MusicMatch Jukebox to whatever IPods require. No way do we want to have to rebuild our music library. Can we still use MusicMatch with the IPods or do we have to go to ITunes? What about the music that we've taken from our old CDs and put in MusicMatch? Any other info about the IPods would be helpful, but this is my major issue right now. TIA!

Not1worry, both Musicmatch and iTunes can use mp3 files. "Importing" them, really just translates to having that program "POINT" to where those files are stored on your computer. From what I understand, they do not use different files. I used to use MusicMatch. It isn't TOO different, but take some getting used to. Provided they are in mp3, wma, or aac (Apple) format, you can use them on your iPod without any problems. Honestly, the Nano SUCKS. Sure it is smaller and cheaper, but there have been many problems with it. Most complain that it scratches VERY easily, and it is sort of flimsy. I have an iPod 60G video, and I LOVE it. My friend got her bf a Nano, and I told her not to, and now they both regret it. The thing I DO like about the nano is how tiny it is. I've seem WALLETS that have a built in Nano slot, so you don't have to carry an extra "thing" (keys, wallet, ipod, cell phone, PDA, etc). Feel free to ask me any question about the iPod or iTunes. I live to mine, and have gone through many of the versions. My bf seems to have purchased the ones I HAVEN'T, so I still have experience with them. One thing I WILL say though, is that the 60G iPod video doesn't even hold everything I want. Depending on how often you travel or commute, you may want to consider the larger capacity. Another good thing about the large capacity, is that you can use it as a backup hard drive. Every so often, you can backup your stuff, and always have an external copy, in case your hard drive ever crashes. Feel free to ask me any questions. Drop me a line in my folder....

Thanks Eeyore! I'll have to rethink the Nano. I had already decided to get a good cover of some kind. I read on epinions.com that a lot of people had trouble with the scratching too. Not sure if I can justify buying a 30G iPod for both myself and DH. Although, really, the 30G is only about $50 more than the 4G Nano. Hmmmm...

I have to disagree with Eeyore about the Nano. I have one and I love it. I've owned many, many iPods starting with the first and of all my iPods, I use the Nano the most (I have a Shuffle and iPod 60GB video.) It's very pocketable, holds a fair amount of music and is very solid. I wouldn't call it flimsy at all. As far as scratching, it scratches no more or less than other iPods. It's just that the black models show the scratches more than the white models. As I said, of all the iPods, I use my Nano the most. It's the best compromise of storage and portability. (Also, I suggest reading the reviews of the Nano; it is consistently the highest rated iPod Apple sells.)

What is the difference between the Nano and the old mini? I have the mini and it's pretty good; good enough for me. They replaced the mini with the Nano, right? Maybe I may get a big iPod one day, but I am in no rush. I still haven't filled my mini, so why would I want something that holds more? I think I will wait until the battery finally goes on the mini.

Yes, the Mini was replaced by the Nano. The main differences are physical size and storage technology used. Mini uses a small sized hard drive for storage; the Nano uses flash memory. If your Mini is working fine and you like it, no need to replace it. I'm a gadget person, that's why I have more than one iPod. I use the Shuffle for exercise, Nano for day to day use, and the Video for travel.

Me too Wendo, I'm a total gadgeteer! I agree with you about size and storage being the two main things to consider. Nano is most definitely better if you are going out for a run, or don't carry much more than a purse. I'm a student, I have about an hour and a half commute to school on public transit, and I listen and watch TONS of stuff. I also download and convert a ton of stuff too. I guess it all depends what you're looking to use it for. The main thing I say is that you should AT LEAST have room for more. My bf INSISTED he wanted a mini, but then had to choose only 4 gigs of his huge music collection. And then when you think you want to change it up, you need to go and *unselesct* some songs, and select the ones you want, and hope the "room" works out. It's a big PITA for him, and so he just never changes it. But is that what you want? To never really change your music, or not have access to it because it's too much of a PITA to move stuff off in order to move stuff on? That's the reason I like the big storage capacity iPods. I just attach it, and it synchronizes. Here's what I suggest: Install iTunes, and import all of your music into it. Look at the bottom, and see how much data you have, and let that help with your decision. Here is where to look in iTunes:

How much does it cost to get TV shows and vidoes off of iTunes? I'm still waffling on what to get and I've read review on Epinions and Amazons. My other choice in the Creative Zen M video MP3 player. I'm going to try and get back to Best Buy today to fiddle with them again.

The only show I "BUY" from iTunes is The Office, because I love the show, and feel that they deserve my money. Everything else I have has either been ripped from my (of friends') DVDs, and seasons of shows I download from torrent sites (free).

I have two questions. 1. Suddenly today when I load RealTV I get this message on the multiclip 4 cam. vol.gif is missing from the RealTV application directory. Then a woman's voice comes on saying the feeds are temporarily unavailable. What does the vol.gif message mean? 2. I lost a huge amount of music in Itunes for some reason last night. I have all the music on my ipod, but can't find the original files on my computer. I can't seem to go back with system restore so I was wondering if I could reverse my Ipod and download the music back into Itunes. Is there a way to do this?

Sorry to see your question hasn't been answered yet Lesley. I'll just point out to readers that the question looks like its still on the table. I have one of my own too, but don't want to end up having my question cause the previous one to get ignored.... Now, with my question....what is a good "handyman" site out there. I mean for trying to get detailed instructions on how to do something. This time around, I'm specifically looking for how to replace a phone jack in a wall. I looked up "doityourself.com" and all I could find are informational articles to read. No step by step instructions on how to do something. Maybe I'm missing something, but I sure couldn't find it!

Whoami, here's one: http://www.rd.com/content/openContent.do?contentId=19597 I just Googled to find that one, but it looks to be a pretty good all round handyman site. Lesleyjack, sorry, I don't know the answer to yours. You probably have the live feeds working by now. If not, there are threads on troubleshooting that over in the BB section.

In the spirit of "no stupid questions" can you use iTunes with any other type of MP3 player, or just iPods? I did end up buying the Creative Zen M, but it froze up several time in the first 2 days, so back it went. Too bad, because I really did like it. I bought the iPod 30G yesterday and I like that too. But the rest of the family has Sansa or Memorex players. All of our music has been through MusicMatch and I managed to get most of it over to iTunes. I can't find a way to get music from iTunes to the other players. I'm not crazy about keeping both MusicMatch and iTunes, I'd rather have everything on one system, and I'm not buying the kids iPods. Is there a way or am I stuck with iTunes for me, and MM for everyone else? TIA.

Why is it when I am reading here, that sometimes after I view a post, and then click back to the main listing, I get 'page expired'?

Not1worry: I don't use iTunes so I don't know the true answer to your question. Speculation, however, would suggest you could probably find any number of programs on the web that would allow you to convert iTunes files to mp3 or any other format if you wanted to do so. I don't know the legal implications of doing so, but I would think it is done fairly regularly. (You wouldn't be the first to have such a situation where it would be to your benefit to do so anyway.) Texannie: Different browser settings may cause such a message. It may be that the page has been posted to since you first began reading and that's why it indicates it is expired. Try reloading and see if that is the case the next time you encounter the problem.

Dra, when I reload I lose all the posts I have read yet. For example, I use the search posts from last visit feature. If it's overnight, there might be a quite a few posts to read. Say, I am reading one post in a member's folder that is long, then I reply to it, when I click to go back to the lists of posts from my search from last visit list, I will sometimes, not always, but alot, get page expired. It asks me to refresh, I do and then it only shows me posts that have come up since I started reading/replying. I lose all the unread posts that come up when I did the search for posts since your last visit. does that make since? On other sites when it happens, I will read a post, click to go back to the main thread and I get page expired. I click reload and I am back where I started, didn't lose a thing.
