I think I know the answer, but I'm going to ask anyway. I have around 6000 digital songs, probably >80% that were copied from CDs I own (the others, mostly iTunes downloads). Previously, I used digital music only on my iPod, almost exclusively when working out. Therefore, I didn't much care...

I recently did a full install of Windows 7. All is well, except the center scroll wheel on my Bluetooth mouse no longer works. Previously, turning the wheel would scroll the page up or down. I've looked at the mouse settings within control panel, but can't find anything that addresses the...

I am soon going to do a full-install of Windows 7. I have several fonts installed within my Windows Vista that I'd like to move onto an always-connected external drive where they can live forever. So, anticipating this, I've already copied them to drive L (they're currently on both C and L)...

This has me pulling my hair out, I hope someone here can assist. Two PCs, one desktop, one laptop. Installed Windows 7 on laptop, left desktop with Vista. Since then, I can print from the laptop from within only my account; I cannot print from the wife's user account. I've made sure the...

My Bluetooth mouse stopped working today, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it. As my PC was searching for Bluetooth devices, it found my daughter's Macbook, which was maybe ten yards away. This is the first time this has happened. I'm not very familiar with Bluetooth stuff. Is this an...

I keep my music library on my desktop PC, and I access that via iTunes which is installed on my laptop. My question: When I add a CD to the desktop, how do I get it to automatically show up on my laptop iTunes program? What I've been doing is, in the laptop iTunes, clicking on 'add folder to...

Short version: A good friend of mine, who has cystic fibrosis, is a finalist for the Applebee’s Real Hero contest. She is in the top ten among 8000 entries. Emily Schaller is an incredibly positive, selfless hero who really, really deserves to win. Please vote for her here...

These are just minor annoyances, but I would like to fix them. All input appreciated. 1. I have a 60GB classic ipod loaded with a large number of tunes. When I use the scroll wheel to scroll through the list of artists, sometimes a small window will open up with the current letter within...

(I've done a few searches for this info, but I still need some help) I plan on jumping into real estate photography soon and I've determined that I need a website. I'd like to hear some recommendations for a host with the following in mind: I do not need the capability for anyone to order...

I've spent literally hours on the phone with support - both Apple and AT&T - and I'm no closer to solving this than I was in the beginning. My sad story: My daughter bought a Macbook today. It did not automatically connect to the internet wirelessly. Hard wired, it works fine. I need to...

I just picked this up today, and in doing so, it brought to mind a question that I posed (to myself, actually) years ago. What the freak is that spring-loaded carved-out wooden device on the cover? Anyone know? Jon

They're not perfect, but I'm reasonably happy with 'em. Thanks for looking. Jon 1. 2. 3. 4.

My daughter will be picking up a Mac laptop for the fall '09 semester. When her older sister did the same, two years ago, she nabbed a free ipod. I see no such deals on the Apple site, and I'm wondering if this is an annual offering, or did older sister just get lucky with her timing? If...

I just sold a couple of items on ebay and was surprised that neither buyer had paid four days later. While poking around the original listings, it appears that both had paid via Paypal, but I have not yet 'claimed' my payment, and so the amounts have not shown up within Paypal. So...I poke...

AMC theatres are offering an all-day pass to see all five Best Picture nominees in a single day (on Oscar Eve). Cost is $30, $25 if you have a Movie Watcher card. Here's the schedule for my local AMC: 1030: 'Milk' 1305: 'The Reader' 1545: 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' 1915...

Here’s how to play. Imagine the Beatles had not broken up in 1970, but remained together until Lennon was assassinated in 1980. Here’s the catch; during those ten years, they released only one album. Your job is to choose the songs for that album. In order to follow a standardized, realistic...

Seems as though I'm running out of things to upgrade, so I've turned my attention to the stock speakers that came with my Dell desktop. I'd like to spend

I'm finding it's next to impossible. On the website, it took me ten minutes to even find any mention of canceling. Then, when I clicked on the link, it took me to a page that told me the many reasons why I should not cancel. Then, a line said, "Still not convinced? Contact us today and our...

Looks like I have a dead power supply on my back-up PC, so I'm looking for a cheap, generic replacement. What considerations (as far as specs) should I pay attention to? I assume I should get the same wattage...what else is important? Are the generic power supplies compatible with most...

I just ordered a new DVD drive for my older (5-6 yr?) computer. Without much thought, I selected one with a SATA connection. Now I'm wondering if I made a mistake. Will I be able to make the connections, given the age of my PC? Is there some sort of special adapter/connector I should have...

I currently have itunes installed on my desktop; I'm just now thinking I should slap it onto my laptop as well. 1. Transferring my music: can I simply copy the files to an external drive, then to the laptop? Or back up the library within itunes to the drive, then restore the files from the...

I know this is a longshot, but what the heck... I recently had to re-install Vista on my six-month-old Dell laptop. Everything is working fine except the keyboard. When typing, something crazy will happen every 10-15 characters or so. Typically, the cursor will jump up a line or two...

I had to re-install the OS on my laptop. While it can connect to the internet, it does not see the two desktops I have on the network (nor the printers). When trying to set it up manually, it asks for my username and password. Anyone know how I can find this info? (or, what my password...

I'm fairly new to photography, trying to learn all I can. These are from my trip last week. Thanks for looking, Jon

I bought a stand-alone VHS/DVD recorder combo for the purpose of transferring old home videos to DVD. The process was easy enough, and the discs play fine on the (same) DVD player. When I insert a disc into my laptop drive, though, it asks me what I want to do with this blank disc. A look at...

Soon I will be getting a stand-alone DVD player/recorder. Coincidentally, my Tivo just crapped out and I'm faced with a choice between another Tivo unit and my cable company's DVR. My question: Which of these two choices, if any, allow archiving of recorded television programs to DVD using...
