How do i keep it from deleting my music and pictures and movies?
i have an ipod touch and am downloading the new upgrade. I was just notified that when its done downloading it will delete all data in the ipod. How do i fix that? please be specific.
thank you
Nagesh answers:
Most likely you have the 1st Gen iTouch with the older firmware.
Whenever Apple releases a “major” software upgrade, it needs to do a full installation which means wiping ALL data from the existing iPod! The iPod currently uses v.2.2.
You can’t fix it as you decide to keep v.1.x or upgrade to v.2.x, hence the new upgrade!
Most users keep the files in their iTunes but some do not.
Since you state you want to “fix it” but not deleting any existing files from your iTouch, it sounds like you no longer have those files in your iTunes.
Try this.. SharePod.
It’s basic but works as it copies from the iPod back to the computer.
Once you do that and verify that the files are back onto your computer, you can then transfer it back into iTunes.
Then you can go for that upgrade!

What is the best free movie maker that I can download from the web better than windows movie maker?
I‘m looking for a movie maker that produces high resolution videos from videos that I currently have when I want to edit and shorten them. When I use windows movie maker to edit my movies; the resolution decreases from original (good quality) to the edited (poor quality) and it is occurring when I publish my edited video using the HD option from windows movie maker (the best it has) I‘m looking for a better movie maker.
Nagesh answers:
Almost every program including notepad is better than windows movie maker 🙂
try http://jahshaka.org/
its opensource so its free of charge so you can get it from sourceforge also
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jahshaka
while you there look out for other video editing software
http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=soft&type_of_search=soft&words=video+editing
go through a couple of those, you bound to find something you like
I assumed you not looking to pay- if I assumed wrong then you can go for a lower end package like Pinacle studio
all the wat to top end adobe premier, sony vegas
Ezvid is a free video and slideshow maker that is made for Windows and designed for Youtube, which works well in a variety of Windows platforms – from Windows XP, Vista to Windows 7. Unlike Windows Movie Maker which is version specific – the WMM 2.6 only runs smoothly if you use Windows Vista but not with Windows 7. In the same manner, the old version only runs well on XP but not on Vista or Windows 7 too, so if you are a Windows 7 user, you cannot use these versions but need to find another version that is compatible with your Windows OS.
So here we take a look at the additional features and functionalities of Ezvid:
Create and edit Your Video with Elegance – You simply drag-n-drop your video clips in the media panel and your movie is ready for upload to Youtube. You can insert texts, audio, comments or do voice over while video is playing. You can add slow motion or fast motion effects by dragging the timeline of each clip or shorten the timeline of each clip.
Works well in a wide variety of Windows platforms – the current version of Ezvid (Ezvid 0.6.18) works really pretty well in ALL Windows platforms thus you will not encounter a lot of technical issues or installation problems with this. You will be sure that after you’re done with your video and upload it to Youtube, it will definitely run!
Youtube-ready – Ezvid is Youtube-ready which means that after you save and rendered your video, you can upload it directly to Youtube as long as you have a Youtube account. And in just a few minutes, you will see your video go live in your Youtube. No hassle, right? So if you really plan on making some videos for uploading into Youtube, use Ezvid.
Make Slideshows and Visualizations – Turn your photos or any still images into slideshows with free background music. You can just simply drag-n-drop your pictures from JPG, PNG, GIF, and add background music to it then give some cool texts and you have now your slideshow video. You can edit your slideshow: Add, delete or shuffle photos. Thus, Ezvid can be a perfect tool for school computer projects and activities.
Supports Major Types of Video Formats – Imports files in AVI, WMV, and MOV, MP4, as well as video formats coming from your camera or phone.
FREE Soundtracks – Royalty-free music from 009 Sound System and Aalborg Soundtracks is included with the free download of ezvid, to help users make youtube videos and upload youtube videos which are guaranteed to be copyright-clean

What is a good, safe program to use to download stuff like music and movies on the macbook pro?
I just got a macbook pro a week ago and I‘m really overprotective with it lol, so I want to know what the best program to use is. I used Limewire on my old computer but don’t know how safe that is. Thanks
Nagesh answers:
Utorrent, use your head when downloading torrents from trackers such as the the pirate bay. Mediafire is better if you want to be safe.

How do you edit effects on Windows movie maker?
I‘m trying to make some videos on WMM, but when I put on effects, they’re way too strong. Like the old effect how it blurs and distorts the whole thing. Any help?
Nagesh answers:
Sorry, you can’t edit effects in Windows Movie Maker. Try other movie making software. If I was not wrong, Wondershare Movie Story allows you to adjust video effects parameters in the editing videos dialog(double click video).

Mandy asks…
Is it possible to view movies, TV shows or video clips downloaded from the Itunes store on an older iPod?
I have an Ipod Nano, in hot pink, the slim kind which has a colour screen and is the smaller of the two capacity choices. On my iTunes I have downloaded several multimedia and was wondering whether these could be put and viewed onto my iPod. I simply need a yes/no and if yes, how?
Nagesh answers:
Yes you can, you sync it just like your nano.
As long as that iPod has a screen and has the Video Function then it is fine. If it does not have one then it cannot.
