Just get some dvds and back up all the music in her library. She should be backing it up to disks anyway.

using an external hard drive to back up music, movies and saved media is a great way to keep things organized. i use a WD My Book Essential. there are many out there that range in price and storage space. see how much music and other stuff she needs backed up and decide size of hard drive.

External drives cost peanuts nowadays. You can get a (well branded) terrabyte here for around £60 (That's under $100) but back up your favourite music to disc as well because hard-drives can fail too - I speak from experience sadly. I lost quite a number of irreplaceable photos (and music) when my hard-drive failed with my 365 project on it which means I've not be able to have my project book printed.





Signed the AllOut petition and put it on my fb and G+ walls...I know plenty of folks who will sign it.

So.. rumor is that next week we'll see the iPhone5 or something like that. Anyone going to upgrade/get it?

[*Anya*]

I love my IPhone 3GS. I would like to upgrade to the 5 but will lose a couple if the games I play as they do not transfer over at the levels I am now.

Re: double clicking, I keep a whole ton of apps open at the same time. I only close them if I need to do an update as it will sit there waiting forever if I have too many open at once.

I also put apps in folders, like all my games or shopping apps. Keeps screen cleaner since I have so many

I am planning on getting the IPad before I lose my vision altogether. I use my phone as my portable computer (like right now) and it would be nice to see the "big picture"!

The laptop died and now I want to get the stuff on the iPod into the iTunes library on my new machine and it will not let me!!! How does one do this?? I can't imagine I am the only person who has had this issue. Help smart techies!!! I am clueless.

is your new laptop a Mac? I recently had to upload someone else's Ipod touch to my Mac to copy some songs on it and I called Apple and they were very helpful in doing this. I know it's not the same issue but the folks at Apple were wicked helpful.

I've never had an iphone and I want one, debating on settling for the iphone4 because it's obviously going to be cheaper, and it's a luxury for me not a necessity.

I was looking at the Kindle...did you know Google had a reader? Anyhow, Target has Tech specialists, wonderful sources of info for people like me.

The IPHONE 4, if you buy the data plan is expected to sell as low as 29.95
Because, everyone will want the 5.

The best thing that will be coming out with the ipone 5 is the white cloud feature. This will apply to all mac products. The ability to sync all mac products together effortlessly. . You know I'll still be in here asking questions. And Julie, the younger folks at the library helped me with that same problem!

I also found out (at the library) amazon in coperation with Libraries, will have a Lend a Book program. How cool is this! (back to Kindle)

Well the iphone 3 is at 99.00 years later, not sure about the rumors that the iphone4 will be cheaper than that.

I don't care about having the latest *greatest* thing, I rather let it roll around and get the bugs worked out, I just want something to consolidate my gadgets!

I hope that's true! I plan to upgrade. Nothing is wrong with my iphone4, I'm just waiting on the 5 so I can give my phone to my son because his phone is soooo old and I don't want to pay for his upgrade. I'd rather get me (the more responsible one) the upgrade.

I also have an iPad2 and I love it! I use it to take notes on, watch movies on, etc. The graphics are phenomenal. My laptop is in the shop right now and I'm actually using my iPad2 to access the Internet.

Yes, it's very good. After I figured out (with Incubus' help) how to work my IPT4, I was refusing to buy that expensive data plan and the IPT4 and my cell phone plan were all I needed. Transition to the phone was so simple.

Honestly, I can't imagine needing more. It even has a flashlight.

I love my iPhone 4..its attached to me at the hip. I rarely ever go somewhere without it. Mine is jailbroken. Jailbreaking the iPhone makes it more customizable among other things. I do see an iPhone 5 in my future

I got an Iphone for $200 from Verizon because my "smartphone" was the dumbest damn phone I've eva had. I love the Iphone but do not like apple computers. YB, a flashlight but no DUCT TAPE! Ah... well it is almost perfect LOL

Thank you, Steve, for all of the insanely great tech you've given us. Thanks for bringing the personal computer into homes and schools. Thanks for helping create the future and making it possible for us to live in the world we read about in the cyberpunk novels of the 80s. Lastly, thank you for helping create the world of geek chic.

Ah, Steve Jobs. You changed an industry by doing some simple things. You showed that people didn't need to have the same boring look at computers and that it could be fun indeed.



You showed that the hype by some wasn't necessarily the truth and ask us to "Think Different" when it came to looking at the world.



Because of an Apple Macintosh SE, I got into computers. It showed that I didn't need to be a super math genius but have the necessary logic as to how things worked. It gave me confidence to explore more than that with various flavours of Unix and Linux.

More importantly thanks for revolutionizing computers into more than just glorified calculators, office systems and gaming platforms. A lot of what Apple brought to IT made it possible for us to have the variety we do.

Your genius and your vision that you brought to Apple, the IT industry (and the rest of the world) will be greatly missed.
