How do I stop iTunes opening two boxes when I open it, unlike all the other programes which only have one box? :(

fingers 15-09-2010 05:42 PM

Staying with an IPod question - how do I transfer an MP4 file from my Comp. to my IPod Touch?

Oh I know what you mean now, do you have it pinned to the taskbar? If you do then unpin it and that might solve the problem.

oh since you're talking about ipods, Is there anyway I can put songs on my ipod without wiping whats on it already? I originally did it at work but I have stuff d/l at home and it says if I synchronize it will wipe what's there already?

If the songs are in your itunes it will remove them and put them back in while syncing. If they aren't already on your computer then there is nothing that can be done I'm afraid.

Jessica. 16-09-2010 10:15 AM

fingers, are you being serious?

What is the exact question?

ah, well I have itunes on both computers but they're different, so I can't do anything then?

Nope unless you transfer the songs using a usb memory stick or something.

if you copy the actual song file and then add it to itunes on the other comp then it should work fine. :D

Not sure what you mean!
I converted a video to MP4 format and copied it onto the Itunes window on my comp but there it stays, it doesn't sync to the IPod touch.

Oh well on the sync screen there should be a tab that says movies at the top, click on that and select what ever videos you want to sync. :)

I have an R4i gold card for a dsi. I put the firmware on it and it seems to be working on the Dsi but when I took the sd card out to put games on it the computer won't let me, it says it can not read the card and it may be corrupted :( Is the card no use now, anyone?

Smithy 17-09-2010 12:45 PM

Where can I find good Backgrounds that won't go all fuzzy

erm there is probably something wrong with the card reader, are you using a usb reader or a built in one?

Theres something called iDump, but Im not sure if it works or not!
I tried it and failed and deleted all my songs but it apparently worked for Shaun.

I live in a deadzone for high speed broadband. The fastest connection you can get in this area is something like 5mb. Is there any device I could purchase that would make it possible for me to upgrade to a 20mb connection? Money is no object.

I don't think there is a device that can increase your connection speed as far as I know. :(

no there isnt I tried it on 2 different card readers and 2 different computers :/

I did abit of reading up on it and apparently it happens with the R4i cards sometimes, acecards are better for the newer dsis apparently. I'll have to order one and a new micro sd:bawling:
