Ok i recently downloaded limewire, which i know that you use itunes to put the songs onto your player. bu here's the thing i dont have an ipod i have a sandisk sansa. but my brother seems to have downloaded songs onto his player which is also not an ipod. but my brother is gone for a few weeks without a cell phone so does anyone have a clue how i can work this out??

You don't need to use iTunes. Connect your player. Go to start, "my computer". Your player will be there as one of the drives. Dragging songs into the drive(or sometimes one of the folders in the drive) will make them appear on the device, and they should play normally.

Hey, so i've been looking for this song for AGES.
I originally heard it on MAUI FEVER Epsisode 6 - Fresh Lei and tonight I heard it on Gossip Girl.
IF ANYONE CAN FIND ME THIS SONG I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER.

Someone made a clip of it too, so hopefully this will help:
http://members.shaw.ca/gmmtc-teq/unknownsong.wav

HERE ARE THE LYRICS THAT I HAVE FOR IT:
Come with me
Let's form a line
we'll rock the boat
one step in time
let it go
free your mind
and we'll keep rockin' 'till the sun come up

It seems to be the chorus?
I've look everywhere and can't place the singer.

THANKYOU.

The ringtones on iTunes, are they for the iPhone only?
Ah, I want to get free ringtones, but myxertones.com says "this ones free" but it costed me 1$ i know thats not a big deal but i want FREEE ones


anybody know any OTHER places?
Thhhhanksssss

only search advicenators.com

Appending "free -trial -shareware -purchase -buy" to a normal google search makes nearly all results completely free.

I believe iTunes ringtones are for all phones, but I'm not sure.

ok well my itunes is being screwy.. whenever i click on a song itll highlight it and bring up the title/artist and stuff on the top with the time bar thing.. the play button will be clicked but the time stays on 0:00 and wont play! its doing this for all 600+ of them and it just started doing it last night. its just my itunes, not my ipod but i really dont want to lose all my music? how can i get it to play again?

Probably a codec issue. Try reinstalling iTunes. If that doesn't work, read Apple's support page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/

hi i have a ipod video, and i am trying to upload dvds
know any good ripping programs i can download..i think thats what you call it?
and please tell/help me how to upload it onto itunes?
i tried to use nero but it says my dvd's are protected :(
thanks so much!

Use handbrake:
http://handbrake.m0k.org/

If that doesn't work, your DVD has DRM. DRM prevents you from using the DVD, even though you bought it, and it's evil incarnate. If your disk has DRM, follow these steps:
-Say out loud, "FUCK THE MPAA".
-Download and run/install halite: http://www.binarynotions.com/halite.php Direct download: http://tinyurl.com/2r2ho9
-Find your movie at http://btjunkie.org
-Download the .torrent file
-Open the .torrent file in halite
-Wait for the movie to download
-Download and install mediacoder candidate release: http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/
-Open mediacoder and "add" the video file you just downloaded with halite
-Click "..." in the upper right and choose your desktop.
-Click "extension"
-Click the "apple iPod" link under the second picture.
-Click "start".
-The video file is now on your desktop and you can move it to your iPod normally

at school i take a class for adobe photoshop, now im in love and want it on my computer. Can i download it or is it something you have to buy? Where can i download it or where can i buy it and do you know how much?

i think its called adobe photoshop cs7 or something if that makes a difference.

I'm afraid you have to buy it if you want it legally. It's around $400, though you might be able to get it cheaper from ebay.

It's very easy to get it illegally, and it doesn't have any protections that can't be bypassed. Read my bittorrent guide:
http://www.advicenators.com/talkaboutmetopic.php?t=94&userboard_id=38985
Torrents of photoshop will almost always come with cracks. If not:

Is it possible to download DVDs(the ones we put in our DVD player) onto our iPod video?

Yes, use handbrake:
http://handbrake.m0k.org/
iPod video is in the presets drawer of the program.

"Keep you eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwods." Does anyone know what Benjamin Franklin meant by this quote??

I interpreted it as "marriage sucks", but EXTREMERACERX02 is probably right.

I'm stuck here..
please do you know how to add the GIF avatars to the MSN messenger display?

After you've saved the picture to your computer, add it to msn like you normally would. Go to tools, change display picture. Click browse and browse to where you saved the GIF. The GIF will animate normally.

i just got a macbook and i was wondering if using limewire/ares or a file sharing program would completely detroy it

some people say it wont if i have an anti virus program but i dont think i have that?


if some can let me know from past experiences or give me an anti virus program to download thatd be awesome thanks

Almost no viruses will work on the Mac, just like most software doesn't work on it. As long as you're not stupid( see my answer at http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=516044 ), you'll be just as safe or safer than a windows user with an antivirus.

Also, you can't use AVG on Mac, and you wouldn't *want* to use it on Windows; it's worse than having no antivirus at all.

i have firefox and it saves my password on myspace.
i just changed my myspace password
and i can't get it to save my new password.
is there a way i can fix this? thanks.

In firefox, go to tools, options. Go to the security section and click "show passwords". Find your myspace password on there, click it and "remove". It should now work.

If you have ever entered two different usernames(emails) in myspace, firefox will only fill in the password after you've put in the username. That's just the way it works. You'll have to remove both in "show passwords" for it to work.

I was rapped by 5 guys last year...i have been seeing a psychologist becuase i am having alot of troubles from this. I feel unhappy , i am having trouble having relationships , i have low confidence. I am also attending university in another country so im very far away from home. I am on one of the sports teams their and i train 24-7 and then have school so i am basically very busy....i feel very lost and i am having trobule doing all the work in my practices and i am also way behind in school. I cannot centrate and i get distracted very easily....my psych suggested that i talk to the docter about taking adderall ( i dont know how to spell it) to help me cope with all this? i do not know anythingabout the drug ...or if it is a good idea any help? I want to know some stuff before i go to the docter

Adderall is a very dangerous drug, and they give it out like candy. It's terrible. I would stop seeing a doctor that recommends adderall without trying every other alternative first. If you're under 25 it's dangerous to take any mind-affecting drugs at all.

do stores have to ask for permission from the artist to play their song in their store?

what about like, abercrombie? cos i know they also stream their music on their website too.

If they use a regular radio station, they don't. If they make their own radio station, they have to pay a certain amount of money to the artists (though they don't have to get their permission).

if you can, give me you're viewpoint on the nature vs. nuture debate i have to write a paper on it

My view is that it is primarily how we are raised that determines our personality. However, some people may be naturally susceptible to certain things(depression, anger, etc.).

There are "feral" children who were raised by themselves in the wilderness and act completely like animals that prove this.

how would i write this as a source in a bibliography?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taipei_101

since it's a wikipedia article and practically anyone can write things..i was kind of confused.
thanks♥

On the left side of all wikipedia articles there is a "cite this article" link. Click it to get different ways of citing it; you probably want MLA style:

"Taipei 101." Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. 6 Oct 2007, 09:10 UTC. Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. 9 Oct 2007 .

Remove the space between http: and //. Citing wikipedia (and all general encyclopedias) even once in a paper is sometimes enough for a failing grade, you should definitely check with your instructor.

how do i reinstall my AIM

Go to start, run. Type:

appwiz.cpl

and press ok. Find "AIM" or "AOL Instant Messanger", click it and then click "remove". Follow the instructions and you're done.

If AIM isn't in appwiz.cpl, ask me a private question and include the version of AIM you have. You can find this by going to help, about in AIM.

I am looking for advice on a rape victim, keep the kid or not?

16 YEAR OLD GIRL.

Really, it's not the child's fault, they didn't ask to be killed because they were concieved wrong right?
But then again, having the kid will be a daily reminder, and ruin her future.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
ANY ADVICE?



Thank you for the time!

The population is too high as it is, there is absolutely no reason you should allow an unwanted child to be born. Since you are not financially or emotionally ready for a child, it will live a sub-optimal life and will only hinder humanity's progress.

The child is alive even before conception, just the same as every living cell in your body. It is *not*, however, morally wrong to kill it until later. Most people say the third trimester; I would go so far as to say a few weeks after it's been born.
