On my iPod, how do I put voice memos on it? It says it on Settings, but I'm not sure how to get any memos actually on there. I already tried the help section of iTunes, but there's nothing on it there.

Contact Apple if you can't figure it out.

ok i have a few questions:

1)what would make a hard drive go bad on a 2yr. old computer?

2)my computer won't stay on for more than a minute without restarting itself (i've unchecked the box that says "restart in case of system failure") so yeah and i asked a question about it on here earlier last month around mid october and someone said that i would probably need a new hard drive. i also tried the other suggestions to do a system restore but when the computer restarts after the system restore is complete is says that it couldn't restore it. so how much does a hard drive cost? i have a dell xp home edition, not sure of the model number.

3) my dad is very computer savy. i want him to look at it because he'll most likely know whats wrong with it but i've looked at porn on that computer and i didn't clear my internet history before this happened. so, could porn have destroyed my hard drive? i would die if he somehow found out that porn is what destroyed my computer.


please help and thank you very much for reading

Hard drives will randomly fail after 2-6 years. That's why you're supposed to back up your data regularly.

It may be a problem with the hardware. Unchecking that should solve any software restarts. Take it to a tech support place. Any hard drive problems you have could be related to this; if a computer loses power unexpectedly data on the hard drive is sometimes lost.

You could have gotten malware from the porn sites, but he won't be able to tell where you got the malware. No need to worry.

i have a zen micro and i use the zen micro media explorer to put music in my zen micro but how do i take the music out of the zen micro and onto the computer? i used to be able to drag it out from the explorer and now i cant.. it says a error message something about not a specific path or something? what should i do

Go to "my computer". In there is "Removable Drive(E:)", possibly with a different letter. Right click it and "explore". You music should be in there, or somewhere in one of the folders. You should be able to take out the files that way.

If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer.

So I was assigned a stock footage project for my video class where we have to incorporate stock footage in the film along with me and partner also. I'm not sure what I should do. Any ideas?...for and example of stock footage and how were supposed to use it look at the John Lennon vs. US theatrical trailer on youtube.

The best way to do that project is to make a short documentary about some historical topic. Just grab 20-30 clips from documentaries about the same topic at your library, and splice them together with some background music.

I accidentally deleted my ENTIRE limewire library, is there anyway that I can get it back?

LIke maybe a "recently deleted" button...or something like that?

PLEASE HELP!!!

Check your recycle bin. If it's not there, there isn't any way to get it back, and Limewire doesn't have a feature to easily download it again. Sorry.

I have a virus/spyware problem. I think.

I have this thing called Dcads and it gives me occasional annoying pop ups. Everyone once in a while it also randomly closes my browser window. I did virus scan with AVG but it didn't find anything...

I think I might need to do a spyware scan but I'm not sure what to download that will help me. I did an internet search for a free program but there are so many options and I just KNOW I'll pick the lamest one. Anything Norton won't help me, I've already used up the free trial.

Help? Ideas? Any first hand advice about this...thing? Its driving me insane.

"Eating my soul" lol

I once found a site where you can upload an mp3 file on your computer onto the website, and the website will send it to your cell phone so you can use it as a ringtone. It was free. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Thank's so much :)

i have a macbook that runs with the mac operating system
i was wondering how much/how hard it would be
to also get windows xp as a second operating system?

See this:
http://help.protonic.com/clients/popuphelp.php?id=19
Intermediate level 2 will be able to do it. Level 1 might be able to do it with help. If you attempt it and your knowledge is below Intermediate level 3, there is a significant risk that you will delete everything on your computer while installing windows.

You'll need to buy a Windows CD to install it. You can buy from most electronics store, or online at newegg.com or any electronics retailer. Learn how to set up a dual-boot:

My friend saves the most STUPIDEST things EVER on her computer and there's almost no space left!
I have a lot of space though, but I guess it's because I'm not interested in anything and she's interested in a lot of things.

Any tips?

To clear unused space on your computer, use these tools:

To use more space on your computer, here's my bittorrent guide:

Use it to download movies and stuff.

I got lots of responses to my question of yesterday but I tried all those with no luck. I will send the mP3 to anyone who requests it. I have not found a way to include it here, so you may send me an email at 527jimfitz@verizon.net and I'll send the file back to you.



I wasn't able to identify it. From the lyrics, I think it is called "steal away". Here are all the artists of songs called "steal away":
Charlie Haden
Leomia Boyd
Johnnie Taylor
Clarance Carter
Jimmy Hugues
Shirley Caesar
Z.Z. Hill
Etta James
Alexis Korner
Michelle Williams
Tommy Tutone
Harold Budd
Eddie Baltrip
Mary J. Blige
Joey Gilmore
Nightlife

Good luck!
