Before Google became Google: The original setup at Stanford University
One picture of all the proto-Google hardware, with descriptions.
And here is what must be one of the very first tries at a Google logo, from back in 1997, a year before the actual Google website went live:
Cool logo, except it makes my eyes hurt.
AAAARRRGGGHHH!
I need PC iTunes help! My sister asked me to create a playlist for her iPod touch for the trip she is going on at 4:00 am tomorrow. She doesn't get home tonight until around 9:00 or 9:30.
It seemed simple enough, the iPod is plugged into her Gateway laptop and iTunes is up. After much trial and error I made a playlist and then tried to sync it with the iPod.
Well, the music didn't make it over and now iTunes is locked up and the fan or something on the laptop is running intermittently. I can't see the iPod and I can't get iTunes unstuck!
If I try to close it or click on anything I get a "Thunk" sound.
Help!
can you shut down your computer?
I did restart and it now seems to work but I still can't sync the specific playlist onto the iPod.
I've tried choosing the list and then tell the iTunes to sync with the iPod, but that doesn't work. I've tried dragging the playlist to the iPod and that doesn't work.
I'm stymied.
You have to select the iPod and click on the music tab (I think) and check the playlist in the list of playlists.
What do you see when you select the iPod from the left-hand panel?
Do you know what version of iTunes you have? (Maybe earlier versions don't have the tabs?)
I see an ad for an iTunes update. I just realized (after looking at it 12 or so times) that there is a "Remind me later button", I will click that and see what happens.
Okay, I see tabs now!
I clicked the music tab and found my playlist and it seems to be syncing now!
Thanks for the help!
Skipping about 90 posts to ask about removing the 'System Security' malware off my friend's pc. I've googled a bunch of options, but most of them strike me as potential baitnswitches.
I've searched for the various [assorted numbers].exe files but can't find matches.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
