I recently bought a new 7.1 receiver(Onkyo 606) and it came with a Ipod Dock that says it is compatable with
5th gen Ipod with Video,
Ipod Photo
4th gen Ipod
2nd gen Ipod Nano
1 gen Ipod Nano

When I buy my 120gb Classic will I be able to use it with this dock? Or will I have to get a different one? If i have to get a different one what do you recommend?

thanks

2.4ghz
MacBookPro3,1
SMC Version: 1.18f2

The Optical Drive is:
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-85J
Firmware Revision: FBZ8

Ok after that, here is the problem I am a problem as you can see with my optical drive giving me these errors: The device failed to calibrate the laser and medium writing error when I try to burn any type of dvd or dvd dl. I have tried Disk Utility, Toast, DVDRemaster and some other applications that I can't remember the name of. I was able to burn DVDs before but for some odd reason I now can not burn anymore. I have tried several types of dvd brands even studio quality dvds that my buddy gave me from the local tv station. I can write cds from toast and itunes. figured i would throw that in if someone asked. anyways. I have also taken compressed air and blown out the drive but still no luck. So I am asking someone please help me with this let me know what I need to do. Thanks in advance

Well, it looks like those that found TrekStor's MovieStation maxi t.u. hard drive a bit too bulky for their taste now have a new option to consider in the form of the company's new MovieStation pocket c.uc, which packs many of the same media-friendly features, plus a memory card slot (SD, MMC, and xD) for some added convience. As you can see above, you'll also get a remote to control the device when it's hooked up to a TV (via composite or component), and you'll get support for most of the audio and video formats you'll likely want -- yes, including DivX and Xvid. No word on a release 'round here just yet, but folks in the UK can apparently grab a 250GB version now for £99.99 (about $150) or a 500GB drive for £139.99 (roughly $215).

I recently had a little accident with my Mac and had to reinstall iTunes and import all my music back in there. Now, I have my iPhone and my nano that both have playlists on them. But because I had to reimport all my music in there, the I don't want to sync either because I am afraid that wheN I do, the playlists will be removed from both. Is there any way to export a playlist from my iPhone/nano to recreate it on my Mac? Or any way to sync them to my Mac and not lose the playlists?

i receive salvageable materials all the time, and about a month ago i got an old school desktop. Power Macintosh g3 - all in one.

it doesn't boot up. i took it all apart, cleaned everything, went through the service manual, reset the cuda, bought a new 3.6v battery, used a different power cord....

im a handy guy, but im not too savvy with computers. i can use them, but im not educated on the hardware operations.

i dont need a walkthrough or anything major, just some ideas on possible reasons for the malfunction. everything is in order according to the manual.

Some of the much needed improvements brought by the Jasper unit include graphics, power supply and internal flash memory, experiencing a shrinkage from 90nm to 65nm in the graphics department which results in less heat and the need for less powerful fans within. This translates to a much quieter system with lower power consumption. The new revision is also tipped to feature 256MB of flash memory - a whole lot more compared to the original 16MB, presumably to accommodate the new Xbox Experience. So far, Anandtech has confirmed that lot number 0842 from team FDOU or CSON and lot number 0843 from team FDOU feature Jasper units, although there are claims of confirmed Falcon units within these lots as well.

David Gregory To Moderate “Meet The Press”  —  David Gregory will take the reins as moderator of NBC's “Meet the Press,” the Huffington Post has learned.  Gregory has been a leading contender for the permanent spot since Tom Brokaw stepped in as interim moderator following Tim Russert's death in June.

via AppleInsider:

After years of jabbing Microsoft for the seeming need to run antivirus software on Windows, Apple has quietly posted its own recommendation for similar security with its own operating system.
