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!
DAMMIT!
I had transfered my iTunes over from my old computer, and had successfully synced the iPhone with the new computer. Everything was copacetic.
I had decided this morning to try and switch my contacts and calendar over.
There were some advanced choices when I told iTunes to sync calendar and contacts -- I could sync stuff, but also tell it not to overwrite the old information.
Well.... I told it not to overwrite my old contact information, but it did anyway, which totally blew away all the old contact information on the phone.
Now I have nothing in there.
DAMMIT!
(I think it's still salvageable, in that the info is still in my old address book, and I can probably just migrate that over, but still... annoying.
And in non-annoyed posting:
Thanks for that link, Daniel! Awesomeness!
(Of course, my own caveat emptor -- if these drives are so cheap, is there a reason? Do they come from shipments that were dropped from a height or something?)
Hat trick --
The MacBook Pro takes SATA internal hard drives, yes?
And in continued Sean Takes Over the Tech Thread news....
I'm don't understand why this 32Gb drive costs $700.
It's a solid-state drive, Sean. It uses flash memory instead of a moving disk.
if these drives are so cheap, is there a reason?
I was going to say that the prices you originally quoted
a Western Digital 320Gb 8Mb cache 5,400 rpm drive for $140, or a Seagate 200Gb 16Mb cache 7,200 rpm drive for $125.
were rather expensive.
This is why I come to you people first.
firefox eats a lot of memory. maybe that has something to do with it?
it's not a problem with my old laptop, which still works. maybe I should upgrade firefox. it keeps asking me.
Anyone heard much about this? Good? Bad? Vapor?
