Have a new computer. Don't want to sync iPhone because it has a bunch of old photos synced from old compromised computer which was hacked. I'd have SWORN I backed up my pictures on the external hard drive I used to keep most of my iTunes music, but can find it there. Outside of sending these hundreds of pictures via e-mail and then saving them onto the PC hard drive out of order since they'd all dated from when I took them and of like to keep it that way, can I do anything else? Having trouble with the Podcasts too. Why does Apple no longer have a download all option?! I keep trying to put them in from the hard drive, and the computer gets scrambled and can't seem to find the source files for them. I've tried asking about the stuff on Apple's forums, and I can't find any information from them, because apparently no on feels like answering.I realize this is an incredibly stupid question, but as I still live with my parents, it is technically their computer. As they paid for, I have no right to complain or ask for specific features, but I want to know if the computer is capable of handling HD, and if there was any method of connecting the DVR to it to preserve some recordings I have which are not available on video. How would I tell this?On another note, the fact that Netflix advertises super HD, I have so far been unable to get my Blu-ray player or my father Smart TV to buffer up to 1080 P, even though they are both advertised as being capable of doing it. Is it possible to get the Wi-Fi to do it without anything that cable connected to the device? It's possible to do without a VPN (which I do not want to pay for). I have heard that most ISPs will not admit it, but they throttle streaming services. When I used Vudu, sometimes it is full 1080p, but it frequently blurs. How can I tell how fast the Wi-Fi is going? When I contacted AT&T via their customer chat, they sent me to a website, and told me that the speed at which my modem was running and my wife I wore it was running more optimal, but I do not remember what that number was, or if they were simply telling me when I should get better. I'm a major digital skeptic (RIP Kodak ), but if they want me to adopt did you want to see you soon and streaming over physical media, one of the first steps would be figuring out how the hell to solve problems like this one the data loads are so heavy.Also, in Firefox, I have set the settings to clear history when it leaves except for active logins, but for some reason, even though it saves the passwords, it doesn't keep me logged in. Previously, when I had Firefox, I was able to close Firefox and clear all of the history but keep everything out which I was logged into. Also, is there anyway to put the iPhone backups I have saved on the external hard drive back into iTunes? Just for precautionary purposes. I like having them around. Incidentally, I bought the Command and Conquer First Decade DVD, and it keeps freezing on me, and Yuri's Revenge locks up and won't play at all. It's probably because it's only designed to run with a version of Windows which is much lower than the one which I can we have, Windows 8, but is there anything to be done about it? I also have to transfer my old Firefox favorites. And as regards other non-music, Apple's podcasts app is terrible! Trying to delete something off of the phones hard drive causes it to get to leave it in the computer, and vice versa, then I have to re-download it again. Or delete it off of the phone and it simply come back. I don't get why can't be like my old iPod, simply download everything on the computer, transferred to the MP3 device, and then uncheck the selection and re-sync, and it goes away. It's irritating as hell, I don't know what Apple were thinking, or perhaps they simply weren't. And why is there no longer a "download all" button on the podcasts in iTunes? This particular podcast has hundreds of episodes, downloading them by hand would not be entertaining.Also, I picked up Disney's World of Wonder disc, how long will calibrating my cheap HDTV take? A half hour? An hour? The blues and reds keep bleeding, for starters. It's an inexpensive LED, I'd love a plasma, but don't have the money, and won't have the chance come the end of the year. It also has a bajillion subsettings in addition to the regular controls, and I don't know what the hell they do. And that's not even counting the SRS sound, which much be useful if I was actually in the center of the room. Anyhow? Anyone done this before? How long did it take?
