If I go out and buy a dvd recorder and record for two hours on it, can I then put that DVD into the computer and take what I recorded and put it on the hard-drive? Also, if I put it on the computer, can I then erase what was on the DVD so that it has as much room as it started with. To avoid any questions about my drive, it is DVD compatable.

my phone fell out of my bag onto a tiled floor today. Its a sony ericsson w810i. When i switched it back on it keeps saying please insert simcard, even tho the sim is still inside. apparently i might have to pay to get it fixed cos 'I dropped it' which is wrong as it was entirely accidental. Anyone got any ideas how to fix???

STILL can`t get videos onto my ipod. Downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Help files (& other reference sources here) say that you simply drag & drop the video files into your iTunes library & iTunes takes care of the rest. When I dothis the result is a spectacular nothing (don`t even get an error message) Does the file have to be in a particular format (Divx?) or am I doing something else wrong?

I am thinking about buying one, are they any good??

I'm particuarly concerened about the map resolution, in the UK it comes loaded with the Atlantic base map, is this good enough for navigating around European roads, not just motorways but smaller lanes and streets?

If its no good, what are your recommendations for alternatives, I mainly need something to find my way around when driving through europe. But also like the fact that the Garmin eTrex can be used for hill walking, sailing etc. Units like the Tom Tom one are fine for driving, but no good for the other applications.

When I doc the iPod I get "Do Not Disconnect" forever and nothing else. There is no connection. I've tried everything, all 5 steps recommended on the iPod support site. I can't even get the iPod updater to engage to update or restore the thing to factory settings. I've downloaded all the latest software, I've deleted it all, downloaded it again, etc. I've resetted the iPod countless times, I've reinstalled iTunes and iPod software and restarted my computer 4 times. I CAN'T do a restore. The computer just can't seem to detect the USB connection. Yes, I'm using all the equipment that came with the original iPod. HELP! All I want to do is sych the damn thing with newly downloaded music.

I want to be able to have a customized ring tone for each person in my phone book, and have it be just a regular mp3 song. Is this even possible? If it is, is there a Nokia phone that will do that??
