Hardware :: Why IPods Still So Expensive
Jun 1, 2003iPods have been out for years now. Shouldn't they have come down in price some? I realize the iPods of today are better than the iPods of 2 or 3 years ago. But I'd be happy to have an unused old one for $50... or $80 even.

Jun 17, 2012I have a 2gb iPod shuffle, but whenever I try to sync music to it all of the space is already taken up by "other" I don't have anything in my iTunes library besides music, so I don't understand why this would happen. I try to sync 1.9 GB of music but only 0.17 GB syncs because there "isn't room for anymore" this is because all the other space is inhabited by the yellow 'other' section. How can I eliminate the other, and just sync the music?

Applications :: ITunes Syncing To 2 IPods?
Mar 12, 2009Is it possible to have 2 different iPods synced to the same iTune program on the same computer??
I have an old 5th Gen iPod classic, and I'm considering getting an iPod touch to double as a PDA-type device.
Will syncing the new iPod un-sync the old one? or will it just work okay

ITunes :: Transfer Playlists Between 2 Different Ipods?
Apr 17, 2012I have two iPod Nano (3 gen). One of them my daughter happened to drop into a pool so the screen stopped working. Is there anyway to "copy" a playlist from the "broken" iPod to the other fully functional iPod?
I have tried to use the "Export playlist" / "Import Playlist" option but that dosent work at all? Or is itunes so (sorry) "Stupid" made that we have to make new playlist on the fully functional iPod and ad song after song, it will take hours to make the lists identical, there must be som easier way?

ITunes :: Sharing The Movie File On Two Ipods?
Mar 31, 2012i thinking of using two ipods on one itunes because my movies are stuck to my itunes music files. Â
itunes music file has a movies file that you can't seem to move. movies are mixed in with music files. Â
this all started because brian wanted to share some of my movies. because it's stuck to my itunes music i'm not sure how to do this. Â
before i had brian on another account on my imac. Â
i could try and switch my movies file to shared, but i have no luck with switching files to shared. Â
can i use one itunes and specify different file locations for each ipod? and have both ipods use my movie file which is mixed in with my music file without trouble?

OS X Mavericks :: Can't Connect IPhone Or IPods To New IMac
Aug 24, 2014I bought my first iMac yesterday and am slowly getting to grips with it. I seem to have got totally stuck trying to connect my iPhone or the kids iPods.
When I connect by the cable, the phone charges fine.
The computer doesn't recognise that the phone exists though - either in uTunes or when i look in Finder.
I checked in system information, under hardware - USB, and it listed the phone there fine. (under the USB 3.0 high speed hub)Â
I have tried putting making the sidebar visible on iTunes and this made no difference.
It doesn't even register it as a camera or external storage in FinderÂ
It's an iPhone 4, and I haven't updated the OS recently so it is still on iOS 6.
I've also not been able to get the iMac to recognise my printer throughout the wifi - I'm not bothered about fixing this just yet - just concentrating on one w=thing at a time, but mentioned it incase it's relevant.Â

Applications :: Smart Playlists Broken On Ipods In Itunes 9?
Sep 10, 2009On my setup on Windows it loads the playlists fine, the newest first in Itunes 9 itself but dis-ordered on my ipods. On the Ipod touch v1 with 3.1.1 Firmware I can't fathom how it's sorted, it's totally scrambled the order but on the Ipod Classic V1 160Gb it appears to be sorted via artist. Even if you re-sort it by clicking the date added column the order of the playlist and resync it makes no difference to either of them. Neither does deselecting, resyncing, unplugging -replugging adding back and syncing again.
Anyone else have this issue or am I in the minority of one?
EDIT: Looking at the Apple Support Forums it seems like Smart Playlists are broken for many users on both Windows and Mac. Itunes 9.01 will be on it's way shortly!
OS X :: Errors In Filesystem Continually Appearing?
Sep 16, 2010I recently bought a hard disk drive for my macbook - specifically an internal, 500GB disk with 32 MB cach�. I installed OSX without any problems, but lately I've noticed some programs start doing funky things (Finder getting stuck frequently for no reason, once even the settings panel got stuck, svn weird behaviour complaining a file is both non-existant, locked and not versioned, etc.). Just out of curiosity I tried checking the disk with the disk utility and it found filesystem errors.
I heard some rumours a few years ago that disks with big cach�s required a bit more time before shutdown to committ everything to actual disk.
These errors and funky behaviour *seem* to appear when I reboot so I'm suspecting the rumours might be true. What do you think? Anyone out there with a big cach� HDD? should I try exchanging it for one with a smaller cach� or is there any setting I can access for this case? Or maybe is it simply defective?

Jan 25, 2010My Macbook pro has been running slow as of late (spinning rainbow) causing other programs to freeze up. I verify/repaired the disk permissions with no problem until I went to verify/repair disk.
The error called "Filesystem verify or repair failed" appeared with the following information: invalid volume count / invalid directory count. This volume needs to be repaired.
Question: Is this causing the macbook to run slow? How can I repair this problem? What actions inflicts this problem? ( To prevent this in the future )
OS X :: Is There A New Good 'shared' Filesystem Format
Apr 22, 2010Back in the day, I was comfortable recommending and always formatting my external drives as FAT32. Why? Mac OS X could read/write to it. Windows could read/write to it.
Now, FAT32's age shows and its limitations become very frustrating for backing up data (most notably, the limit of 4 GB on individual file size).
So, in today's day and age- is there a good choice as to filesystem? Windows can't read Apple's default HFS+, and as I recall, Mac OS X can't write to NTFS, only read. Can Windows read anything other than FAT32/NTFS?
OS X V10.7 Lion :: Repeated Filesystem Damage On It?
May 18, 2012I'm running 10.7.4 on a fairly old macbook pro. I have FileVault 2 for the boot disk. I use SuperDuper! to make clones of this onto an external disk, and it has, twice in the last few weeks, failed to make a copy complaining about what turns out to be filesystem damage. I fix this by doing recovery boot & using Disk Utility to unlock and check the boot disk. Disk Utility finds damage, and fixes it. Both times it has been incorrrect block counts in a tarred up copy of ~/Library/Preferences which I make daily. I find this a bit terrifying as it means I can no longer trust the system: does anyone know what is going on? I don't think I ever had any kind of filesystem damage like this pre-Lion.Â
View 1 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Syncing Two Macs Via A Network Drive With A Different Filesystem?
May 13, 2010I've been looking at how to sync my two Macs.
There are lots of options out there but none I'm comfortable with:
DropBox. It appears that what people do is put their data files into the DropBox folder locally (or make symbolic links to that folder) and DropBox then monitors this folder locally, if changes are made it propogates the changes to their server and then out to other machines/devices under your account.
I could be wrong and it monitors both local and server.
Anyhow the trouble I have is that I've got tens of gigs and I don't see why I should ever have to take the bandwidth/time/security hit of using the Internet as the go-between.
Plus I'm uncomfortable with DropBox acting as a blackbox; i.e. no idea the logic it's using to determine changes, determine conflicts or manage resolution.
JungleDisk/BackBlaze with Chronosync. Using Chronosync means that you have full control and transparency, i.e. know logic and have logs.
I was going to put aside my concerns of using cloud storage (bandwidth/accessibility/security), however JungleDisk just purged around 60 gig of my data because a 2USD invoice failed to process and I was completely unaware of the invoice processing failure. So for now, cloud storage is out.
(if I do go to cloud, I'll try BackBlaze next time as JungleDisk clearly can't be trusted)
Sync over LAN between two Macs (e.g. via Bonjour) and use Chronosync to perform the sync.
Not a bad setup, but I've got the feeling that placing a third disk in between, is somehow cleaner and gives overall better protection.
Therefore I've decided to keep two Macs in sync, to use Chronosync plus a NAS (in my case a QNAP 639-pro) as the middle man.
Others must have done a similar setup (after all it's just a variation on using an external drive as the middle ground).
So some preliminary questions are:
do I need to be concerned that the NAS uses EXT3 (Linux) fielsystem; i.e. will ownership/group permissions or
extended file attributes be an issue?
Is there an issue with not syncing file metadata (.ds_store files comes to mind)?
Syncs take a very long time when you've got tens of gigs, however often it's just a handful of files changing, i.e. OmniFocus, Devonthink, 1Password plus a few active project files. So it seems it's a good idea to have a full sync and some quick sync.
Do people have a similar setup and can describe their Chronosync configs?
It would appear the safest option is to close down 1password, OmniFocus etc. on one machine before hitting sync on that machine, but this introduces overhead, but I guess it depends on how the likes of 1Password writes to file and when

Jun 3, 2014I like the new iCloud Drive - and also its very neat priced.
But I don't like to upload all my data without encryption - and as no one really can promise me that my data is safe in his cloud I use Boxcryptor at the moment - so that I encrypt all data on my mac with my password before it's uploaded.Â
So what I like to know is if iCloud Drive will offer encryption on filesystem level like Boxcryptor.
If not - why isn't Apple innovative in that case - because Apple would be first with that feature !

OS X :: Automator For The UNIX Binaries?
Feb 25, 2010I'm planning to use my Mac Mini media center to replace an old Ventrilo/TeamSpeak server (Winblows). Since I do not plan to have keyboard/mouse access to the Mini, I need to find an easy way to launch the TeamSpeak and Vent server binaries on boot.Since the media center is set to auto-login and run an Automator workflow that mounts 3 AFP volumes and opens Plex, I would like to add upon my script to launch TeamSpeak and Ventrilo server. However, this becomes problematic when I add a Shell Script action. The script keeps running because it is looking for Terminal to complete its action and quit so it can move on to the next process. If I terminate the script, it kills the Ventrilo Server application.

OS X :: Mac To UNIX FTP Server - Cannot Upload Files
Oct 7, 2009Two months ago I switched web hosting providers/services from a Linux server to a UNIX server. For the most part the functionality is fine but the ability to upload files using any FTP client is near impossible. We've tried Fetch (4.x and 5.x) Filezilla, Cyberduck, Dreamweaver, and an old copy of GoLive but it takes 6 minutes or more to upload a 230byte file!. The upload is relatively fast but it hangs up on the exiting handshake, or drops the connection and has to reconnect.
We spoke with Fetch and tested both copies on their UNIX server---no problem. We've tried our other clients on other UNIX, Windows, and Linux servers---no problem. We've had the web host and our service provider look at DNS blocks, etc. and all seems to be fine. Pings and trace routes seem fine. The web host company indicated that they believed that it was an issue with their server but eventually threw up their hands and said that they couldn't figure it out (not Mac friendly I suspect). My questions is two fold:
1) Can anyone give me an idea what IS the problem?
2) Can anyone recommend a good 'Mac-friendly' web hosting service that doesn't have issues with Mac's, will allow installation of a variety of CMS, eCommerce solutions, and of course seamless FTP access with variety of clients.
