Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
been trying to update my iPad3 all afternoon. It got some error halfway thru the process, and now it will not do anything. Just a pretty picture of a USB cable and the iTunes logo. iTunes says it needs to be restored. I click the "restore and update" (only option, aside from cancel). It extracts the software (which takes forever!), then has a 3004 error code. I have an appointment TUESDAY at Apple Store. Ugg. Tomorrow is too jam packed to even try (first day of welcome week at the university).
Not making me happy right now.
Anyone have any preferences for YouTube to mp3 conversion services?
Normally I wouldn't do this but I'm creating a bunch of CDs to play at my sister and her GF's wedding reception.
Thanks. I ended up using video2mp3.net as it seems faster than Clip Converter.
iPad 3 update. Took it to work, plugged it into work computer, and it is working again, now with iOS7. Still need to sync from home to get all my apps and stuff on it. But happy it's not a brick. First reactions to iOS 7 are... meh. Not a fan of the BRIGHTER borders. They really do pop, when I'm used to them receding. Time will tell.
Apparently my iPod Touch 4 isn't good enough for iOS 7.
It's only the latest gen of the Touch that gets the upgrade, Gud. So far I haven't found any rational explanation for this.
Chip speed is generally the biggest reason. The iPhone 4 can't handle all the new features, so they disabled some of them.
My iPad 3 sync'd fine at home, so, I look back to normal with the new iOS. Now to get used to it. So far, biggest complaint is too much white. Lots of glare. Harder on the eyes. I've beefed up the font size and made it bold, so it's a bit easier to read. And the calendar is twitchy and has unexpected quit a couple times.
Wow, Microsoft.
So, I'm banging around Windows 8. I still consider the three finger salute something you do when you're mad at the PC. But how else am I supposed to get directly to shutting down my machine?
Why do I need Outlook to check my mail? I kinda get the distancing from POP3, but making me set up an MS account to use your email app? Not going to happen, actually.
And so excited to learn that Office does not run on Android tablets. Does it run on the iPad?
Is iPhoto on the NAS just a doomed proposition? Does iPhoto need wires in order to be stored on an external drive? Why so crashy and slow?
