Question for the techies

My CD/DVD drive has gone missing and all the usual fix’s arent working. Anyone got any suggestions?

Where did you see it last? :strokechin:

In My Computer. Badoomtish.

Got in back by going into regedit and deleting some shit, but gone again now. May be time to invest, this bad boy owes me nowt.

:strokechin:

And its back again, this is just ridiculous at this point. I’ll say nowt, its done what I needed it to do for now.

CD/DVD drives are temperamental fuckers, had an issue with mine a while back and no amount of software reinstalling, updating or changing worked, when it’s fucked its fucked.

Are MacBooks any good?

I’m thinking of changing laptop. I like the keyboard on the MacBook and the way the Apple logo lights up.

I have a problem with my iPhone as follows:

  • I want to use one of the songs on my phone as a ringtone
  • I saved it as a 30 second .m4r file
  • I imported it to my iTunes library about a year back and it worked fine.
  • Since then I have upgraded the software on my phone and on iTunes itself
  • Now when I try to import my .m4r file nothing happens.

Anyone know a way around this?

:strokechin:

Have you used a Mac before?
I wouldn’t be bothered with them myself. They are either for people who do a lot of design/media work or idiots who don’t have a clue about computers but want to seem clued in. If you are not familar with a Mac it’s a bit hassle of getting used to it.

:lol:

Now that’s a proper reason for changing laptops.

I dont think you can use a song as a ringtone on the iPhone. Not on the one I have anyway. You’re restricted to their boring list.

You can usually do it by following the process he outlined above

Have you tried recreating it?

Why would you want a song as a ringtone? Are you a twelve year old girl?

Has anyone purchased one of those Apple TV’s or Android equivalent yet? As someone who doesn’t know anything about them but feels compelled to buy one as everyone else is talking about them, what’s the main benefit to them? Is it just to allow you to stream stuff through your TV rather than watching it on your laptop?

AppleTv is awesome.

what kind of price are we talking about?

Care to elaborate a bit on that Flano?

I would say to get the most out of appletv you’d want an iPad or iPod and have the Remote app installed on it. The remote that comes with it is shite.

I cost €119 or something.

Check this out and it’ll tell you what you need to know,

This part is to do with streaming

Don’t see the point in them. Just download and use a PS3 or something.
