My IPod froze. Can't shut it off or do anything w/ it. Help!

by Justa Newbie. Is Neal anywhere nearby?

Oct 6, 2008

My IPod classic w/ 160 gig of memory is only a few months old. I was listening to it this morning and when I got it out tonight it was frozen on with the screen lit up. The controls don't have any control. I tried accessing it thru Itunes but it didn't register on my computer. Yes I tried the lockout switch to see if I could work it but the results...See More

Shut down vs. sleep

by AJH

Oct 31, 2008

Do most of you recommend shutting down or putting the computer to sleep? I know we have some folks who never shut down. The computer just goes to sleep. Wondered if I should recommend shutting down now and then, or even doing an automatic shut down.

Thanks

Expansion and contraction though heat. Components that get hot by being powered expand, when off they contract. Over time this cycle causes failure.

ipod

by jules

I use an ipod in my kindergarten classroom very successfully. I have many great songs. I would like to buy a new ipod and download some of these songs for my granddaughter. Is that legal? Will her parents be able to add additional songs and manage the ipod from their own computer? I have a mac and they have a pc. Thank you.

R DRM is very controversial, and Apple does not play well with others.

Legally, if you bought the music for your personal use then to transfer it to another person for their use is illegal. But,if you purge your hardware of the song and then give it away to another then that would be the same ethically as givin away a LP. I don't think the R...See More

Neal Or hold down the option key at startup until you see a set of HD icons with one saying OS X and click it.

BTW OSx Is now at v 10.5 which will not run very well if at all on your computer.

Good Luck,

Laura Thank you Neal. I never considered a document camera as an option. I'm going to see what options exist for document cameras since I hadn't considered that before and am not really sure how they work. Basically we would like to scan artwork that students have created and put it on the web. When we've tried taking photos of the images, it's never qui...See More
