    Anyone having problems with iTunes 10.2.2

    That's odd. Well in any case, both itunes and bonjour are both checked in the exceptions. I could try going offline when I get off work and shut the firewall off to see what it does. I'll let you know how it goes. I should have just tried that from the start.

    Anyone having problems with iTunes 10.2.2

    I rebuilt my library and it still does the same thing. I'm not a big fan of shutting off the windows firewall. I will make sure permissions are setup but I don't wanna shut the firewall off. I'm deployed right now and I don't trust this ISP as far as security measures go.

    Little update on this.... I gave up on trying to get the drive to work. I plugged it into my friends laptop and it didn't work on his either. He has the exact same drive as me (bought them at the same time), I even tried his cable in case for some reason mine was messed up. I've come to the...

    external hard drive won't read

    I bought a Western Digital My Passport 1TB about 3 months ago. Just today, I got home and went to sort through pictures I had on the drive and noticed that the hard drive won't read. The computer recognized it and mapped the letter G to the drive. It wouldn't Tell my how big the drive was, how...

    What processor for compression/vid conversion?

    My laptop has been having charging issues ever since I got to Iraq. My power cable died after the first week, got a universal one to replace it, that died after the 2nd week, and now I'm using one I got from a buddy. The problem now is, the charging port must have a loose solder joint or...

    trouble getting ipod touch online with certain apps

    Oh jeez... I feel like a dumbass. Feel free to shoot me, but I was trying to figure this out, and noticed that my ipod was set to January 2nd, 1970.

    I tried resetting network settings but didn't work. I removed the apps a few times and re-downloaded them on itunes in my computer and re-synced and its still a no-go. Other applications work fine though. Some of the apps that work fine are safari, email, pinger text free, amazon, ebay...

    Dual external IP w/ wrt54g

    I was thinking of trying that out.... My dad would flip a tit if I bricked it though :-p I might do it tonight and buy him a new one if he gets mad hah. The v5 requires the super micro firmware or w.e it is and idk if thats supported. I gotta get my OS running stable before I can test it out.

    Problems Installing any Linux w/ a GUI

    I should have mentioned that. I did. The 2 options are to leave it on the whole time or have it only come on when no vid card it in. I also set default vga to pcix when the vid card is in.

    Dual external IP w/ wrt54g

    Alright.... well there probably is a way to do it but not the way it was intended to be done. I'll have to check out ddwrt too, but mines a v5 so I might lose a bunch of features that the orig. v1-4 had.

    Problem where both computers cannot see each other on network.

    ventrilo server alternative?

    Setting up a ventrilo server, but the free version only allows 8-slots. I would just buy a license but you need to have a legit business name and you need to buy a minimum of 1000 slots, which I don't need. I'll run TeamSpeak if I have to, but I don't know if they allow more than 8 slots, and...

    New System Squeal

    You responded before I did and I didn't notice it. It's probably a capacitor then if it's coming from the mobo.

    New System Squeal

    I would DEFINITELY check the capacitors on the mobo and PSU. Look on the mobo and see if there are any bulging or looking like their about to go. If you hear a squeeling sound and you believe it's overvoltage related... it's probably a capacitor taking some damage. What voltage are you...
