Orad was worried about losing his iTunes collection and wanted to know ho to backup his iTunes library. Veronica suggested getting an external hard drive that can hold the contents of your entire library. Unless youlike burning CD or DVD after CD or DVD. You'll also want to copy the entire contents of the iTunes folder, including the Album Art folder and iTunes Music Library.xml file. This is of course assuming that you have the "Keep iTunes folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" check in the iTunes preferences.
Speaking of iTunes Nathan wanted to clear away the detritus that now fills his iPod Nano and start fresh. Thankfully the process is pretty painless. Literally plug your iPod into your computer, launch iTunes, then select your iPod under 'devices'. Now in the middle of the summary page you'll see a button labeled restore. Click that button and you'll have a iPod that's back to it's original factory settings. Be warned you will permanently delete all your music off the device!! Make sure you have a backup!

This week's Website We Can't Get Enough Of The Vintage Web. The Vintage Web is Veronica's latest web endeavor shamelessly promoted on today's show. This Tumblr blog points out those websites with outdated and garish designs that showcase why people should take a design class before the build a website. Subsisting on the submissions of readers, who can send in your picks to thevintageweb@gmail.com. And did I mention this is a shameless self-promotion effort by Veronica Belmont?
"Is there a single application or widget to be able to do one post and send it to Blogger, Facebook and Twitter ? That way you only have to post once, and it shows up on these multiple platforms ? Mac or Windows version." Great question, David! Veronica says Ping.FM is the natural choice, given that you need to work with Blogger. It will let you update about a million different ways, including IM, TXT and email, or just by visiting the ping.fm site and typing in your status update. Then you can choose which other social networks you want ping to relay the message to.
For the non-Blogger people, HelloTxt is another great microblogging syndication tool. It'll even let your schedule when you want your updates to go out!

Patrick's still wading thru the giant dogpile of responses to his question for the audience about organizing photo collections. A lot of folks love iPhoto and Picasa... but the strongest responses are from folks that want him to move to Aperture, or Lightroom.
In the words of viewer Paul, " Organizing by files is sooo old school and last century. It's time to move forward into the future by harnessing the power of the database! It's the difference between thinking about items individually vs. thinking about them as part of a collection. Let iPhoto worry about where files go and how they are organized on your hard drive. "
Thanks for all your responses!
4GB of CL4 DDR2-800 or 8GB of CL5 DDR2-800... Nick, you should go for the 8 GB of memory. It's almost the same price, and if you move to 64-bit Vista -or Windows 7- you should get a delightful boost in performance, especially if you use lots of memory hungry applications.

" little else. And I figure I've ever -- that -- well."
" It's it's really it's it's if it was one of those things like this ever since the we've everything -- Cisco's -- like every antenna in San Francisco is on sutra tower. Prices like this -- on top of twin peaks and -- few hundred feet of a twin -- is secure tower. But if you happen to live on one of the regions but -- tower or behind mount Davidson or some of the other butler hills. There's a hill between you and that. Power and blocks but for everybody else and like the surrounding. Of -- doesn't miles it's not you back a lot locations are going to require a directional antenna and possibly pre -- to -- in the signal you can run more than one antenna on the same -- if you -- antennas. Melted around five feet apart if for on the same vertical pole or pointed away from each other in a few feet apart if we're on the same level if you don't do that."
" And with massive -- problems or. Hello this is ridiculous thing you've been."
" Yeah it's pretty crazy when my folks over the Jersey shore and the great now you can still actually did Philadelphia. You -- stations. I don't hear them. You know immediate big honking old school directional with a preemptive -- NBC because it comes from open wildwood. But almost all I think all the Philadelphia stations are all going UH and they'll all be out of range after June 12. Some of it's because the cable TV yes. I -- or satellite and hope that the TV transition we should we get audio bills but as the dvd transition should not impact your cable or satellite box at all. And it does your cable or satellite provider will already provided you -- something to deal with that."

It forget about the thousands of people are you are not little iTunes -- older -- encompasses everything you have to worry about missing anything.

Checked off in iTunes preferences. Because if you don't. And your music could be anywhere -- can have it because it does it makes a copy of the music you import. Into iTunes folders it and it's all consolidated in one nice little location you can do this way.

" Dog battle responses the response was epic a lot of you love iPhoto and Picasa but a lot of you can well right. Paul actually kind of sums up a lot of yet this iPhoto seriously iPhoto or aperture. Organizing my files this old school at last century it's time to move forward into the future harnessing the power of the -- it. It's that they're actually picking up items individually versus speaking about them as part collection. But iPhoto worry about where files go and how they're organized -- your hard drive if you read the actual file you can always -- find -- to do command. Yeah it database. You create multiple you think quickly searched all your photos he's a variety of options. Point taken Paul now I just get it over my April hatred of iPhoto or BC about 300 dollars like --"
" I use and I hate it hate it -- it."
" It's pretty slick it's it's a replacement for Photoshop its companion is it like aperture simply designed organized art collection of photos it just seems a little bit like he's in the dump truck to move. You know bucket of sites. Whatever that metaphor came from it now also sum up so my favorite old school former based responses to a lot of you just stack of folders. Next week and also a lot of folks are bigger I -- see over exit for file tagging which actually uses an entirely fascinating conversation and I'm going to Portland today. And it. Question."
" Yeah another question. The question is I have a system that I built a few months ago I am looking to upgrade every U2 gigabytes of memory from all system. I can't pick up four gigabytes of DDR 2800 cl port for not seem prices eight gigabytes of DDR 2800 yell five. We should I choose."
" It's from me it all comes down the operating system. -- you're gonna run up 32 bit version of windows. You're a 64 bit -- it if -- that. 6432. Bit. Arguments are gonna see it we're gonna be moving to a 64 bit operating systems you just go he gigabytes no questions. I don't think you're ever took -- the benchmark going to noticed -- cast forecast five fluids Google releases could be so typically best know you're not gonna notice that even if there after a couple weeks will you. In an easy things eight gigabytes of ram. Especially if you work with -- Memory hungry applications big lots less accessing the hard drive everybody others like gigabyte well that's got to cost a fortune. We're -- like sixty your 120 bucks I bought four gigabytes of ram last week for 45 bucks."
