Alright I just hooked up one of my kids' iPod Touch to my desktop running XP and it shows up as a camera device and when I open it, I can see all of the pictures on it. It's running IOS 6.something so that should still work. He doesn't have a PIN on it so not sure if that matters. Let me see if one of my other kids has a PIN on theirs and I'll hook that one up and see if I can get into it. EDIT: None of my kids have a PIN and my wife has my iPad at work because she surfs the net with it when she works night shifts. I don't want to put a PIN on one of my kids' devices (for obvious reasons), but there's nothing on the iPad I absolutely need (in case the worst happens and I need to restore it) so if you don't mind waiting a day or 2, I can try and put a PIN on it and see if I can figure out a way around it.
My husband has a laptop with Windows XP that he just uses for these sorts of things - when he wants to run a program which might have viruses and stuff, he can just format it if there are problems. We tried the camera device thing with it just now, and while it did detect the camera, it said there were no pictures. Apple must have done some sort of fix so that you couldn't get pictures off that way anymore. So we're going to try the gecko toolkit.
holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit IT WORKED!!!! I am so freaking psyched! We lucked out that the ipod was a 4g and hadn't been updated with more recent firmware because gecko toolkit won't work with newer stuff. We are now in the ipod and it is literally like the damn thing had never been disabled. Now I can sync this little bitch to itunes and back up frequently. My husband was quite proud of me, it was my first hack. He helped a lot, though. My contribution was mainly just doing hours of research trying to find a way to do this.
This is an iCal question. Recently, I keep getting these '403' errors. I'm still able to move stuff, but I keep getting the error message. I've googled the hell out of this, tried deleting the icloud account from ical, then adding it again, deleting events, etc. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you fix it? It's driving me nuts. Feel free to pm me. Thanks a bunch. In the alternative, are there good calendar apps that I can use that will be shared between my mac and iphone?
Has anyone here ever lived or currently live in a studio apartment? I'm doing the dreaded apartment search and the market is slim picking or vastly overpriced. The last year around Houston has seen an absolute skyrocket in the rental and housing market. As it stands, the only things in my price range are horrendously ghetto, dangerous, both or studio apartments. Some of them look really nice. I'm just not used to living entirely in one room. Any advice? Recommend for or against?
Could anyone get me in contact with Nettdata, I have a couple of questions about race/highspeed schools. I will pm someone my email address can you could forward it to him. Thanks.
They are not bad. I have in the past basically lived with my ex for five months in her studio. I find zero difference other than lack of square footage. I could cook and do whatever we wanted. The only downside is the lack of ability to really host people if you're into cooking for people or have people over often. The huge upside is you save a TON of money. My advice is to get a studio and save your cash for a house. Fuck renting.
The first year out of school I lived in a studio. I got a sofa bed so that if I had people over I could make it presentable. Other options I have heard is that you could have partitions/oriental screens to make a separation between living area and sleeping area. It worked perfectly fine since I was by myself.
I lived in one all through college and ended up keeping it for three years after because it was so cheap and I liked it quite fine. I just arranged my furniture in such a way that I had defined spaces. One section was my "bedroom" and the other my "living room." You could also use screens as previously mentioned. Find a decent one, get creative about set up, and save your money. check out this http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ for ideas.
I'm trying to figure out a way to make this thing: It does this: The thing is $60, which is ridiculous for what's essentially a metal rod. There's gotta be a way to build it out of something much cheaper. It'd be a plus if it was something you could take apart, as it's really weird to pack into cases. Preferably should be made out of some sort of metal, but it doesn't have to be pretty at all. Let me know if you guys have any ideas, because after an hour and half in Home Depot I'm all out.
In the first picture you tried to post, where the middle of the bar is clamped, it looks like the diameter of the bar would be important. Is there enough flexibility in what that diameter needs to be? Because, if the clamp opens enough, you could use conduit. It depends on how heavy the mic is when the boom is extended, I guess, as to whether it would be stong enough. But, I know Lowe's has them, and I assume Home Depot does . . . there is a conduit bender (I don't know what it's actually called) right there in the store by the conduit. I have used them before. You can essentially create that same thing in your picture. You can also cut the conduit in the store. For the tight radii that actually hooks over the boom pole, if the pipe bender won't get that small, you can hammer it flat at the ends. Then, you can bend it around a larger piece of pipe or PVC or something. (You might could even use some various fittings, instead of bending the tight radii.) Wrap the ends m in electrical tape to keep from scratching the boom. 10 feet of 1/2" ductile steel conduit is about $2.50. You can definitely make that shape, but I don't know if it's too thin-walled. If you don't have to flatten the ends, or maybe before you flatten the ends, you might could spray in a can of that rigid foam stuff, to keep the pipe from creasing under a heavy load. Now I want to make one.
Also, maybe you could you use or modify one of these fishing rod holders: http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-PVC-Coated-Rod-Holders/product/7557/ http://www.basspro.com/Driftmaster-Lean-Mean-Rod-Holder/product/91088/ http://www.basspro.com/RiteHite-Fishing-Rod-Holder/product/10228853/
I had to go to Lowes while I was out at lunch today. And, I love projects like this, sooooo . . . I think it may be bigger than the one in your picture. (That's what she said!) I wasn't sure about the scale. It took about 15 minutes to get the parts at Lowes, mostly because I had to find a guy to the cut conduit down to size. I think I would still add the electrical tape wrap to prevent scratching. I would also change the rubber washers I used for something thicker for a more snug fit. That's less than $8 worth of stuff in the picture. The conduit is plenty strong enough. The weak points are at the fasteners. I don't have a boom mic handy, but I put a broom (ha - broom mic) in it and hung some weight off it. It held up fine. Thanks for the assignment - I can take all the other stuff back to Lowes. So, I spent $1.65 on the piece of conduit and about 5 minutes putting it together. Totally worth the entertainment of making this thing.
I've been to 3 Home Depots in NYC looking for 1/2 inch conduit. All of them were "out." Gotta find a place that would have it in stock. Perks of NYC living, right?
does anyone know how to troubleshoot adobe's flash player. it seems like every time i use firefox it freezes the browser and i have to end the flash player process in order to un-freeze it. ive got the latest firefox/flash version, and none of the other trouble shooting options have worked.
