If you go to Force Quit → Finder → Relaunch, it would probably free up the DVD drive, but I would advise against doing that since it could interfere with the upload in your other window.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Jessica,
I'm sorry I didn't catch that. Can you wait until your upload is done?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Does Starbucks (or whatever WiFi/internet company they use) still charge $6 per hour of WiFi?

I think that you can get the first two hours free with a purchase.

I hadn't heard that. That makes me more likely to go there. Especially since I have an iPod touch now - I don't even need to bring a laptop....

you have to buy a starbuck's gift card and register it. if you make a purchase every 30 days or so using the gift card, you can have 2 hours of access per day.

I am getting a blank display on my 2nd gen Nano. It still plays, but I can't see to navigate. Googling tells me it's a common problem, but there doesn't seem to be a solution, and different websites say it's a firmware probelm, others say it's a bad display.
Here's the thing, when I turn it on after being asleep for a while, or after connecting with iTunes, I am guaranteed a white screen. If I let it play for a while, like an hour or so, without playing with the click wheel, the menu comes back, but there's no guarantee that the menu will be there the next time I turn it on.
Rebooting and restoring haven't helped at all.
I guess I'm trying to figure out the root of the problem. Do it sound like a loose connection? Or some wonky operating problem? I was leaning toward loose connection, but I just got the screen back after letting play while sitting flat on my desk for an hour, and I don't see why letting it play while still would help with a loose connection. I am confused and frustrated and wanting to vent more than anything.

Hey, iPhone users, I want to back up the contacts in my phone. If I sync with an empty Outlook folder, will it overwrite the phone with nothing or put the contacts in the folder. Is there somewhere in the options that I can choose which is the master?
