for me, I don't trust any of these services. I'd rather maintain my own backups.
I have read some instances where a person needed to restore their system from one of these online services and could not easily get it done. In the long run, a couple of external drives is a safer and cheaper option then going to the cloud.
I use one external drive for offsite backups and one for hot backups.

My cousin's iHome randomly stopped working a few days ago. It still charges her iPod touch but the screen on the iHome is blank and music plays through the iPod's speaker instead of the iHome's speakers. Does anyone know if this is fixable or is the thing dead? It's an iHome iP90 if that helps. I tried searching but I couldn't find anything.

I was bored and seeing which artists AREN'T on the music store in the UK
No Beatles
No John Lennon
No Oasis
No Blur
No Radiohead
etc. etc.
(I then realised I had the search tool on Songs so a few of those are on)
ANYWAY I didnt realise this
so I thought maybe someone really big is on so I typed in Britney Spears, well there wasnt an artist called Britney Spears that turned up obviously but a song called "Gang Bang Britney Spears" by a band called Mary's C*nt only with a U.
I could just imagine a little girl making the same mistake I did and that coming up.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share my no budget (i.e. $0 dollars spent specifically on it) short film that I shot this weekend. It was filmed on the Canon 5D Mark II using a Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 lens. We shot it in half a day in downtown Austin, TX.
I hope you like it!

Stay away from women because they'll make you drink, then you'll lose everything and eventually, you'll have to buy flowers to beg your mom to let you move back home.

First thing to try is to delete ~/Library/com.apple.Dock.plist (~ denotes your user folder, in case you're not familiar with the notation), and then restart. That will recreate that file with the default contents. If that doesn't work, you'll have to do a reinstall probably, unless you saved the original Dock.app files (which is always recommended, even when using CandyBar or similar apps). If you use Time Machine, then you can get it from there, assuming you didn't intentionally exclude System Files.

After many hours of fruitless Internet searches regarding the following, I hope a member here can help me, please ! I have quite a few .RA (Real Player) songs on my Mac. As you will know, when clicking on the .RA icon, Real Player fires up, makes a connection and plays the music. Is there any way I can convert these .RA files into .MP3s ? Initially, I thought iTunes would do the encoding, but it doesn't. Surely there is something out there for Mac users (I have seen many .RA-to-.MP3 converters for PCs) to help me out ?
I know I could record the Real Player stuff onto my cassette deck via the hi-fi then add them back to my Mac via CD Spin Doctor as MP3s, but this would be too time-consuming. Someone help me, please !

Palestinian factions sign reconciliation deal
Representatives of factions including Fatah and its rival Hamas ink deal following talks in Egypt.
Palestinian factions have signed a reconciliation deal that will pave the way for elections within a year.
Representatives of factions including Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party and its rival Hamas inked the deal following talks with Egyptian officials in Cairo on Tuesday.
"We signed the deal despite several reservations. But we insisted on working for the higher national interest," said Walid al-Awad, a politburo member of the leftist Palestine People's Party.
"We have discussed all the reservations. Everyone has agreed to take these points into consideration," he told Egyptian state television without elaborating.
"Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank will be celebrating this agreement... We must now work to implement what was agreed in the deal."
.....
The deal, which was announced last week, comes after 18 months of fruitless talks and envisions the formation of an interim government of independents that will pave the way for presidential and legislative elections within a year...
Not surprisingly, Netanyahu isn't happy about this, but it's a year for changes in the Arab world

I'm using Safari 1.2 and OS 10.3.2 and I have the same issue. Although, sometimes, I don't get an invalid link but it links to the wrong song.

Unfortunately there aren't any docking stations for the macbook air, infact the only docking station for any mac laptop is a port replicator for the MBP. I beileve that there is a stand somewhere, but I personally don't see the need, hopefully thunderbolt will bring some interesting options. That is if its included in the next MBA.
Thanks for information.

Just setup a shared folder for each user and you are set. I use "shared" in the name so I can keep my shared folders separate from my personal folders. eg SharedJohnD
DropBox is free for up to 2Gb and this should take care of the files you are sharing, but overall for yourself you might want to upgrade your account.
I have shared files that were over 7GB in size. Not many services allow for files over 2GB in size. Clients send me their Entourage databases to fix.
The DropBox feature where you can see revisions and recover a deleted file is also invaluable.

The iPod's Music Quiz game really is a pretty fun idea. We tend to think of games on a music player as just "extras," but this one is actually a great MUSIC feature! A fun way to you explore your collection.

I have a Mac Pro 2009.
Just after I installed my new Nvidia Quadro 4000 for Mac I noticed that the fans are running at a much higher speed, everything else is working fine though, has anybody else noticed something like this ?. Just to clarify I am talking about the Mac Pro fans, not the one in the Video Card.
I am not using any other video card with the Quadro 4000. I've installed the Quadro 4000 on the PCI Slots #1 and #2 (both x16), just to try different locations but it's always the same issue.
I don't think the issue is temperature related, sometimes for no reason with the Mac Pro idle the computer fans will start ramping up speed up to very high RPMs, and sometimes with load on the computer the fans will run at very low RPMs, so I do not see a correlation between temperature and fan speed.
If I run Cinebench and execute an OpenGL test the Fans RPM will go down to the normal values and will stay there, this is really weird, it seems like the card needs to be activated or engaged by some OpenGL application and the fans (Expansion Slot and Power Supply) will return to their normal values.
I've been monitoring temperatures with iStat Menus, monstly CPU temperature and always in normal ranges, around 38C to 40C.
Any suggestion ?, thanks

Leaking capacitors are a big problem with any Mac of that vintage. Washing the hard drive doesn't make any sense - perhaps they meant the motherboard? It still sounds crazy, but people do it with varying levels of success.
Regardless there's no easy fix for this. If you're attached to this particular Mac there are methods, but simply getting another one is usually a less time consuming option.

I might wait until 4.3 too, but depending on what jailbreak apps you use, it might be just as easy to start fresh. Do a fresh sync/backup with iTunes, then do a DFU restore/update with iTunes to get a fresh 4.2.1 install. Someone else chime in on if the DFU is necessary..I think it would be in order to restore the bootware thats booted in jailbreak mode.
Let all the apps/music/etc sync from iTunes, then go the GreenPoison process again (download the new version of the program).
After you reopen Cydia, go to "purchase" the apps again and it will recognize that you already bought them and allow a reinstall. Note that using this method will delete any personalization on the apps. I just use WifiSync and MyWi though, so this wouldn't bother me.
