Is there any specific applications that help protect the environment?
What aspects of computers causes environmental problems?
What do environmentalist think of computers?

Scientists use computer for pretty much everything nowadays. Even environmentalists and conservationists. They can make computer models to predict deforestation and even habitat restoration based off of existing data.

The part of computers that is an environmental problem is when they are discarded and fill up landfills. They also tend to use a lot of power which then indirectly feeds the need for coal burning power plants to power them. This is however, a rather obscure connection.

Environmentalists love computers. I know I do.

Tried to download anti-virus on my computer,but the screen appears that there is already security installed on my computer,
First time computer user, recently bought toshiba nb100(Window xp )in japan.so I didn’t personally installed it.
Although I didn’ get the answer I want, I would like to thank you guys for sparing your time,answering my question.

"Security" on a Windows system falls into 2 broad categories: anti-virus & firewall.
Additional (and required really) security must be added to form ‘layering’, and involves several steps.
You should say exactly what’s on the screen, in order for a better determination to be made.

Switch the ipod to manual update and enable disk use: This is the first and most basic step for how to transfer music from ipod to itunes.

1. Open itunes on your old computer.
2. Connect your ipod to your old computer and wait for it to appear in itunes.
3. Select your ipod in the Source pane under the Devices section to display your ipod preferences in the main library window.
4. Click the Summary tab in the main itunes window.
5. Click the Manually manage music button. Changing from automatic updating to manual puts a check mark by Enable disk use. A message says “Disabling automatic update requires manually unmounting the ipod before each disconnect.”
6. Click OK in the message window.
7. Click Apply in the ipod preferences section of the itunes window.
2. Is there enough room on the ipod? ipod shares its hard disk space between the songs that itunes puts on it and any files you’ve added when using its disk mode. To transfer music with your ipod, you need enough free space to hold a copy of all your music files in addition to any copies that may already have been placed by itunes (this is because non-purchased songs placed on the ipod by itunes cannot be copied off the ipod while in disk mode). To figure out how much space you have on your ipod:
1. Open itunes on your old computer.
2. Click on Music in the Source pane. The size of your library appears at the bottom of the itunes window.
3. Connect your ipod to your old computer and wait for it to appear in itunes.
4. Click the ipod under the Devices section of the Source pane. The amount of free space on the ipod appears near the bottom of the itunes window.
3. Copy itunes folder to ipod To copy all your music files (including the library file that holds all your playlists and other settings) to your ipod:
1. Quit itunes.
2. Locate your ipod:
? Mac OS X: On the desktop
? Windows: In My Computer
3. Locate your itunes folder:
? Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
? Windows: Documents and SettingsusernameMy DocumentsMy Music
4. Drag the itunes folder to the ipod. This can take a while if you have a lot of songs.
5. When the copy completes open itunes.
6. Click on the ipod in the Source pane
7. Click the Eject button in the lower right corner of the itunes window.
8. Disconnect the ipod from the computer when the “Do not disconnect” message no longer appears on the ipod screen.
4. Get itunes ready on your new computer To get itunes ready to accept all your music on your new computer:
1. Download and install the latest version of itunes.
2. Open itunes on your new computer. If this is your first time to open itunes on your new computer you will need to choose your options in the itunes Setup Assistant.
3. Connect the ipod to your new computer.
5. Copy music from ipod to new computer To copy all your music files (including the library file that holds all your playlists and other settings) to your new computer:
1. Locate your Music folder (Mac OS X) or your My Music folder (Windows) on your new computer:
? Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
? Windows: Documents and SettingsusernameMy DocumentsMy Music
2. Drag the itunes folder in this location out to the desktop.
3. Locate the ipod on the new computer:

? Windows: In My Computer.
4. Double-click on the ipod to open it.

Only a few years ago, the PDA concept was introduced for the first time. The first Palm Pilot’s his the market and millions of people were hoped right away. The combination of a personal electronic organizes along with a powerful computer was a great solution for many people who were looking to get more done without sitting down with their lap-top or desk-top computers.

Later on, the wireless PDA’s were introduced, causing even more stir, and the PDA’s became even more sophisticated, allowing their users to surf the web wirelessly, download and send e-mail’s and the like.

But then – the wind shifted.

It had became apparent the PDA’s could not replace the notebook computers, that were getting thinner, lighter and cheaper, while offering the users the same abilities of a regular PC, but in a mobile fashion. A PDA, as good as it can be, can’t replace a PC.
So at this time, the PDA industry was standing at a crossroad. It had to make the right choice in order to survive.
And what we got as an answer to he notebook computer was the PDA, also known as the smart phone. This was a smart move, as it addressed people’s needs. Let’s take a look at a few reasons to own and use a smart phone:

1.You already use a cell phone, and you probably own a PDA (or intent to buy one). So why not combine the two? You get two in one – more value for your dollars.
2.You’ll probably save hundreds of dollar in future years, when you will want to upgrade your PDA phone. You will only need to upgrade one device instead of two (PDA and a cell phone separately)
3.Save time – Owning two tools that have so many over lapping function is time consuming. For example, It’s much easier to maintain just one email account and addresses instead of one of them at your cell phone and one at your PDA.
4.Many cell phones are limited in their memory capacity and their overall ability to handle various tasks. The PDA’s however, were created for these missions. The PDA phone therefore is a phone with a huge capacity for handling almost anything. This just makes your life a lot easier.
5.Integration – The biggest reason for merging these two vital tools is to enjoy the benefits of integration. You’ll be able to organize your calendar, talk to your clients, download emails, surf the web, and listen to an mp3 music file all at the same place without needing to switch appliances.

The PDA phone is a very logical choice for everyone who is trying to get more out of his day and save time and money. It really makes no sense to be carrying both a PDA and a cell phone around when you can have both in one.

I currently have a 2nd Generation iPod Nano with 4GB. I ran out of space and I need to buy a new iPod. When do you think the new iPod classic will be released? Is it worth the wait, or should I just buy a 6th Generation?
Also, I’m planning to buy this in a few months when I will have extra money. My friend said that perhaps the 7th generation will come out sooner because of problems with the 6th.

i have an ipod touch 32gb. it is pretty awesome. but if you only want the classic. they just came out with the new one like four months ago. i think that you should go ahead and buy the 6th generation

I’m wondering where the best states/cities for entry level computer security jobs are in the US. Does anyone know? If not, any ideas where I can find this information?

Computing Security is going to be a position or department of positions you would find in most major companies, unless it has been outsourced to a contractor like CSC, IBM, etc. So there are not going to be specific states or cities where you would find it more than other places other than large areas where there are corporate campuses.

Christmas is only a week away, the New Year is coming to us, and it is time to clear up your Computer.
It is a really hot season for the adware, spyware during these special days. The first thing you need to do is keeping your PC clean with some professional tools. I recommended you the Registry booster from PCtools to deal with the frequent Spyware and Adware.

Photos – Google Picasa must be a great choice, it will help you find and organize your photos, and with one click you can upload photos directly to Picasa Web Albums. Flickr is another helpful choice.

Songs, oh, my iPod saves almost up to hundreds of songs. But the iTunes doesn’t agree with us to copy them to our computer, what should we do? Delete them? What should we do if we want to listen to the music some days in the future? The legal and copyright stuff is really complicated. Give you a hint: a third party tool named – iPod to PC transfer.
There also has Mac version – iPod to Mac Transfer
.
They have the same features – copy songs to your computer. Till now, it is the most fast and easy way to keep your songs out of your iPod.

Movies, lots of movies I downloaded and bought have not watched, I have to go to work everyday and I am really busy. Are you as same as me? Here is a fantastic way you can choose. Take the movies everywhere, every time, and the only one conduction is you should have a MP4 player. Whether it is an iPod, or Zune, or PSP, even iPhone, let’s begin.

If you are an iPod user: try this video to iPod converter, you can choose the single video to iPod converter or the pack which includes a DVD to iPod converter as well.
