iTunes Windows 7 Problems – BEX error. It is almost a requirement to use iTunes or just being practical you need a third-party utility to copy music. I used Senutil earlier and it worked great. It allowed me to copy music from an old iPod to the desktop. Now I am testing another program called iRip. It seems pretty silly that Apple makes the integration of iOS content/device so tight that you risk losing it without third-party help.
Apple tried to silence owner of exploding iPod with gagging order – Times Online. All companies do this but it is so counter-productive now with the breakdown of traditional media. Do they think a full refund was worth the cost of someones silence?
iOS: AirPrint 101. So is there a third-party way to get printers that are not AirPrint ready compatible with it? I really want to stick with Canon printers. All the printers on this list are HP. I wonder if they had an exclusive with them?
Canon Pixma MG8120 Printer Review | PCWorld. I have had great experience with Canon printers. Much better than other printers I have used both in cross-platform compatibility, ink cost and reliability. I had a friend who was thinking of getting a Mac All In One or MFC so this is going to be my suggestion. Prices have gone under $200 so this is a steal. It even has wireless!
I had a customer once named Ned. Ned was a farmer who was very particular. I had been working and fixing various things for about two hours and the last thing he asked me to do was to align his check printing. Now I had never done this task before. It required the check to automatically align horizontally in a tractor feed printer.
I read the printer manual on how to accomplish this and it required measuring the distance from the top, bottom and sides of the check and inputting that into the printer. After about six tries it was very close and Ned said that since I couldn’t seem to align it, that he wouldn’t pay me for my work. He was frustrated because he thought it was a simple matter. I had told him that I had never done it before but it should be possible and he agreed to give me some time to try it. He wasn’t really a patient person however. I said that I will align it perfectly and he can go do something else until I get it done, and if I can’t then I won’t charge him anything.
On the next try it perfectly aligned and we printed another half-dozen checks as a test. It was really quite amazing to see it automatically line up. Ned was happy and more than a bit disappointed that I actually got it to work. I asked him if there was anything else and he said no. He paid me what we agreed on and I left. Ned called me again to work on his stuff but I had better customers than him at that point. I thanked him, but told him I was too busy to help. A person’s time is valuable who can solve the problem.
