5 Cool Things to do with iTunes Store for Free


That was the original article I planned (asked goobi's help with Front Row) but goobi unexpectedly wrote a full guide on managing media in Front Row.

In other words, Milind, stop doling out free advice when not asked for. Jeez!

Nope. USB works only for Printing. No hard drive support...

Oh, wow! Why is that limitation in place though...

Dude! This is Apple! They do this kind of stuff!

Just so the boys know, Toast Titanium 9 for mac has been released. Actually it's going to be out later this month, but my friend who breaks stonesoffered to give me a preview copy. You could get yourself one if you ask nicely

 

[yash]

Milind, can I get one please?
need convincing? I'm the most bug-prone person on the planet and would be perfect to test any new software. just because I'd find all the bugs. LOL.

ok, back to my problem. I did a spotlight search for school of rock and I know I have that album on my external drive, but it won't show me the folder in results. it will show all the songs inside the folder.

the folder is located in itunes music>compilations. can post a screenshot if anyone needs. but I didn't think I'd make a big difference.

 

[goobimama]

Maybe folders is not enabled in your spotlight preferences? Or maybe you did this spotlight search in an "Open" dialog box?

<scratches non existant beard> Since when did iTunes start accepting PDFs? It doesn't however show the front page of the PDF, or any other form of organising. Would have been kickass if it did </stops scratching>

Who cares for disk burning! I haven't burnt a single disk in ages.

 

[goobimama]

^^ LOL! I totally forgot about me not burning DVDs anymore! And here I was, wanting to upgrade to the latest when I have no need to do so. Thanks for knocking a little sense in my head.

 

[aryayush]

... Specially now that you don't have that all too valuable data anymore...

 

[yash]

ok, since the last post on this thread, I have run into another error message... *img166.imageshack.us/img166/979/picture2ry1.png

itunes took pdfs for a pretty long time. i remember it had that when i was in india.

and no, folders are enabled, i can see other folders in the search results.

and open dialog box or no, either ways its the same result.

 

[goobimama]

^^ Holy Moly! That's the same error message I got before my disk crashed!

 

[yash]

noooo... don't say that! update on that situation, I can't repair using disk utility or drive genius. Time machine gave an error saying that backup drive is read only. I am downloading new version of drive genius..

[goobimama]

Well after an hour or so my disk started grinding and it crashed. Just letting you know. Backup your stuff while you can.

 

[goobimama]

For all those in the dark, Safari 3.1 is out. You should beware that it involves restarting your mac (Gasp!). I had an nice run of 16 days but alas, had to go through with this.

 

[praka123]

safari upgradation needs restarting? why so
afaik restarting safari does the thing;isnt it?
restarting after every softy installation is for window$

 

[goobimama]

Nope. A complete restart is required for Safari update. I guess there's a lot of stuff 'going on in there'. The windows Safari didn't require a restart though

LOL! I just about picked up the Shuffle box and was reading the fine print at the back. "Includes iPod shuffle...blah blah...requires Mac OS X..blah blah.... Like a fine pair of jeans, iPod shuffle colors may vary and change over time"

Does that mean it might get washed out?

 

[yash]

Well, its just one partition that's malfunctioning. and I can still read all data on time machine. But backup is in progress... guess I'd skip college tomorrow!

 

[yash]

Burnt 18 dvds since yesterday! I'm getting fed up of this! Downloading techtool pro now. Lets see if that works..

hey aayush, you recommended I install apollo for chat on ipod touch, but its incompatible with firmware 1.1.4
