    Digital audio formats / iTunes help (pleeze)

    Thanks, Thomas. I've since learned how incredibly inadequate 64k is. I've got lots of reloading to do.

    Digital audio formats / iTunes help (pleeze)

    I think I know the answer, but I'm going to ask anyway. I have around 6000 digital songs, probably >80% that were copied from CDs I own (the others, mostly iTunes downloads). Previously, I used digital music only on my iPod, almost exclusively when working out. Therefore, I didn't much care...

    Help me with mouse problem, please

    Well, I uninstalled, then re-installed the mouse. Seems to be working OK for now. Thanks for the replies.

    Help me with mouse problem, please

    I recently did a full install of Windows 7. All is well, except the center scroll wheel on my Bluetooth mouse no longer works. Previously, turning the wheel would scroll the page up or down. I've looked at the mouse settings within control panel, but can't find anything that addresses the...

    The Lightroom 3 beta 1 was meh but beta 2 is AWESOME SAUCE

    Sam and Scott - When I heard CS5 was looming, I said, naw, I'm totally happy with CS4. Then I ran across that same video demonstrating Content-Aware fill. Damn! I gotta get me some of that! (still not sold that I need LR3, though)

    Question about fonts

    I am soon going to do a full-install of Windows 7. I have several fonts installed within my Windows Vista that I'd like to move onto an always-connected external drive where they can live forever. So, anticipating this, I've already copied them to drive L (they're currently on both C and L)...

    24: Season Eight

    Does anyone else have wide, w-i-d-e swings of opinion as to where Renee resides on the Hot-O-Meter? Cleaned up, she can look exceedingly attractive. But she can really ugly herself up right quick. She gets that greasy, stringy-hair thing going, scrunches up her hyper-freckled, pig-nosed face...

    Lost: Season Six

    Did anyone else besides me get the sense that Jack, while on the alternate-reality flight, retained at least some memory of everything that had occurred on the island? He seemed to glance at each of his fellow castaways with a curious / knowing look ("there's Kate, and she doesn't even know...

    The Demise of VHS

    Scott - You've just inspired me to seek out a copy of this. I remember viewing it many years ago and loving it.

    Cannot print from laptop since installing Windows 7 (except from one user account)

    Nope. The wizard notes that I have Windows 7 and directs me to the troubleshooter within 7. Once there, it sees that I have no printer installed, and directs me to 'install new printer', which, of course, tells me that I cannot connect to the printer. We're both admins. Far as I can tell, our...

    Cannot print from laptop since installing Windows 7 (except from one user account)

    Thanks, Joe, but it didn't work. I uninstalled it from within her account, but when I tried to install it, I got a message saying that I could not connect with that printer. So now, it's not even installed. (still works from my account, though) Jon

    USB to the desktop. Never had a problem printing from the laptop when it had Vista, same connection then as now.

    Cannot print from laptop since installing Windows 7 (except from one user account)

    This has me pulling my hair out, I hope someone here can assist. Two PCs, one desktop, one laptop. Installed Windows 7 on laptop, left desktop with Vista. Since then, I can print from the laptop from within only my account; I cannot print from the wife's user account. I've made sure the...

    It's a Pink Whale

    Another thought is to rent a lens for a day or two (whether sports or Yellowstone). Haven't done this myself...I think I'd be swayed too much to spring for a nice lens once I've used it. Crap, my longest lens is my Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5 - 4.5. /img/vbsmilies/htf/laugh.gif Also tote a Nikkor...

    It's a Pink Whale

    Scott, Hey, you're gonna burn through a whole roll of film with that continuous shooting. /img/vbsmilies/htf/laugh.gif Nice job on the white balance; did you have it set to auto? Also, which Nikon body do you have? What the heck, gimme your whole equipment list. Yeah, you really have to have...

    It's a Pink Whale

    Nice shots, Scott. I made it to Compuware once this year, didn't bring the camera, though. The only fast lens I have is a 50mm 1.8. I guess I could have obtained some pretty cool ultra-wide angles of the arena with my 10-20. What shutter speed did you end up with most of these. ISO? I ask...

    Camera Recomendation

    Wow, Dave. I'm late to the thread, didn't realize how long ago you started it. When I saw the $1800+ package you bought, I said to myself, "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" I'm glad you returned it, but I'm curious as to how smoothly the exchange went. The Canon you ended up with was a good choice. The two...

    Who needs a tripod?

    Man, I really like your crop. Yeah, I was trying to stay within the 'normal' aspect ratio with a possible print in mind. I intensely dislike the square-ish look; much prefer your 'OAR' version. Much more suited to landscapes. I still think my original sky looks over-cooked. Scott - it seems...

    Who needs a tripod?

    I appreciate any and all input, always looking to improve. Yep, that scene is right in front of Mission Point (where we stayed - pretty cool despite the large mouse - or small rat - I saw scurrying down the hallway. :) Man is dead-on about the horizon; I did straighten it, using the far edge...

    Who needs a tripod?

    Hey Scott, Nice images. I spent a weekend on Mackinac a couple weeks ago. I recognize that hotel in the last photo; in fact, we had a heavy rain/wind storm that knocked down a huge tree directly in front of that hotel. Horse carriages had to ride up and back down that driveway to circumvent the...

    Want to do something nice for someone who really deserves it?

    I think all she won was a $500 gift card to Applebees. But she's more excited about the publicity and the opportunity to raise awareness about CF. She starts her cross-country bicycle trip soon - watch for her on "Ellen". Jon

    Should this concern me?

    My Bluetooth mouse stopped working today, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it. As my PC was searching for Bluetooth devices, it found my daughter's Macbook, which was maybe ten yards away. This is the first time this has happened. I'm not very familiar with Bluetooth stuff. Is this an...

    iTunes question

    Thanks for responding, Christian. I guess I should have made it clear that I have iTunes installed on both the laptop and desktop, and I access the same library - which is located in a folder on the desktop's hard drive - from either iTunes program. In other words, one central music folder...

    iTunes question

    I keep my music library on my desktop PC, and I access that via iTunes which is installed on my laptop. My question: When I add a CD to the desktop, how do I get it to automatically show up on my laptop iTunes program? What I've been doing is, in the laptop iTunes, clicking on 'add folder to...
