So my iPod (mini, about 18 months old) has decided that the menu doesn't work anymore. I can play music still, but I can't choose any except by hitting the forward button. All the other buttons work, but the menu button at the top of the click wheel doesn't.

So no playlists for me.

Anyone got any ideas?

Have you tried resetting it, by holding down the menu and the middle button for a few seconds?

I have not yet, since I couldn't remember how to do that. Will try.

Thanks Tom!

I ran across this the other day and I have been curious as to how to default my "my computer" to EXPLORE in Windows rather than OPEN for a long time, but never spent any real time trying to find out.

Double-click on My Computer.

Go to Tools, Folder Options, then File Types.

Find the file type of FOLDER with extension of (NONE).

Click Advanced, Explore, then Set Default.

Just a tip since I was stupid enough not to think of of it earlier. I had port 22 open in my home firewall so I could use SSH to reach my home computer if I needed something from it, or to start stuff. My logs showed it was getting attacked on a consistent basis, but the attempts were pretty feeble and hadn't broke though.

Tip, don't use the default port for SSH. I can just about smack myself for not thinking of that when I set it up.

I noticed that happening on my system, too. For a while I had to put a rule on my firewall to restrict incoming port 22 to known networks. I haven't noticed it happening much recently. There's been one attempt in the past month.

Choosing a random port seems to have ended attacks, but it hasn't been very long yet.

This might be mindnumbingly obvious, but I don't use this sort of ftp client. WinSCP3 uses some sort of ssh, correct? And can it be told to NOT do this? (Server doesn't play nice with sftp/ssh stuff.)

edit: OK, it looks like it is an ssh dooverdingy. So it won't play nice.

Is 512MB enough memory on a Intel based Mac running OSX? The machine will be used to test browser compatibility of a javascript-heavy site and (possibly) run automated testing software.
