Basically I don’t know how to change it back to how its supposed to be. Where i am able to change the colors and when I click a running program at the bottom its actually gives you a preview of the windows that are up

Matt NJ answers:

I think you kill the the desktop Windows manager process and it switch to an non aero theme. Try click on the anyone of the aero theme below in the first pic and then configure it to your preference. If it still doesn’t work then restart Windows and it should come up with the aero look

How Do I Update My iPAQ h5450 To Windows Mobile 6 or 7?

My OS for my IPAQ h5450 is Windows Mobile 2003. I would like to change the OS to WINDOWS MOBILE 6 or 7

Matt NJ answers:

Unfortunately, you cannot.
The hardware required to run Windows Mobile 5/6 has higher requirements than Pocket PCs designed to run Windows Mobile 2003.

On top of this, without a cooked ROM package specifically designed for your PPC, you would be left without driver support, leaving your touchscreen, microphone, wifi radio, etc. useless.

*Note: Windows Mobile 7 is not set to release until 2010, and will certainly not be compatible with your iPAQ.

Sorry for the bad news.
Hope this helped…

How do I import MP4 to iMovie?

So i downloaded an MP4 (not mpeg4, or whatever), and i need to edit it on imovie.
itll show it importing, but it wont show up. it opens in quicktime (i don’t have pro)

i have imovie07.
what do i do? i can’t download any extra programs or software or anything because this isn’t my computer.

Matt NJ answers:

According Apple official website, iMovie (including iMovie ’11/’09/’08) can only import DV, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV and M4V.

Though the MP4 file format defines the storage of MPEG-4 audio, scenes and multimedia content using the ISO Base Media File Format, the MP4 file may also contain any number of audio, video, and even subtitle streams. So it is impossible for the MP4 file to determine the type of streams in an MPEG-4 file based on its filename extension alone.

Therefore, you may have some clues that your downloaded MP4 (not MPEG-4) can not shown up on iMovie

if you wanna to import mp4 to imovie, you have no choice but to use extra program or software to convert your mp4 to imovie compatible mpeg-4 format

the following is a step by step guide on how to successfully import mp4 to imovie

http://www.bigasoft.com/articles/how-to-import-mp4-into-imovie.html?xyh

i also use imovie 07 and have tried the above guide, and the software in this guide is safe to use

since the computer is not yours, why not uninstall the software after the conversion.

Samsung Galaxy Tab vs iPad Differences

samsung galaxy tab

So which to buy, the 7″ Galaxy Tab running Android, or the 10″ iPad, here is a quick guide to the differences:-samsung galaxy tab

Size, Weight and Display:

iPad 242x189x13.4mm and 680g – Screen 10″ and 768*1024

Galaxy Tab 190x120x11.9mm x 380g – Screen 7″ and 600*1024

Verdict:-

If you are traveliing, then the smaller and lighter (half the weight!) Smasung Galaxy Tab has to be the winner, if you need a larger screen, go for the iPad.

Connectivity:

Most people go for the standard WiFi only iPad, the 3g ones are just too expensive, here is a list of the extra connectivity things the Samsung does that the iPad doesn’t, makes phone calls, sends SMS and MMS, has Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity and HSDPA (7.2mbps internet via a SIM card) oh and finally a GPS receiver.

Verdict:-

No competiton here, the Samsung Galaxy has everything missing from the iPad (plus a camera)

Storage:-

The iPad has no expansion slots so you have to choose 16,32 or 64gb when you purchase one, the Galaxy tab allows you to add a Micro SD Card, so you can add cards of upto 32gb as you need, making the standard model have 48gb of space with a card.

Verdict:-

Again the iPad loosing out offering no options or flexibility.

Battery Life

iPad 10hours, Samsung 7hours.

Verdict:-

the iPad wins here, but that isnt surprising as it is twice the weight, a much beefier battery lurks under the cover.

Camera

Simple, the iPad doesnt have one, the Galaxy has 2 (front and rear for vidoe calling), and a flash.

Performance and Useability

In terms of processor the 2 machines are very similar with 1ghz processors, the Samsung has double the RAM at 512mb vs 256mb on the iPad.

Operating systems are similar in design and features, the App store for apple is way ahead with 250,000 apps although nothing like this number are for the iPad, most are for the iPhone. The android market place is currently running at around 70,000 apps and also crucially supports Flash Player 10.1, again lacking in the iPad.

Verdict:-

Difficult one here, think this one is a draw.

Overall Thoughts:

I have now owned both, and for me the Galaxy Tab is a clear winner, it does everything and more the iPad did, after owning an iPad for 3 months, i made a list of the things i needed in a new tablet, a built in sim card for data roaming, sms features, gps postioning, flash player support, memory card support, a bit smaller (i found the iPad a bit big to carry around on the train) and finally a camera. The Samsung Galaxy Tab does all that.

I ruled out the Galaxy tab as I could not find one for less that £450, having found one for £330, for me there really is only 1 machine to have!

The following fixed the error;

Repen itunes and sync your iPad
The ipod photo cache should then rebuild.

Open your pictures folder.
Right click on iphoto library and click on show package contents.
Find “ipod photo cache” file and delete it.
Close finder.
Reopen itunes and you sync iPad
The ipod photo cache should then rebuild.
