“No output sound devices defined” (No input either.)
Conclusion after ½ on the phone is it’s a hardware problem.
NOO, really!
Argh!
They want me to leave the machine for three days for them to diag, order parts, and repair.
You gotta be kidding me.
Or, I can send it in and this is with the extended warranty.
Argh!
This is for a machine that won’t sync. (They never figured that one out either.)
Hence my time machine is a giant router in disguise. That’s all it is good for.
Argh!
BAck when I first got the machine and wasn’t totally “on” it, the screen took a week to replace.
Cloud computing, with all it’s version control issues, is looking better and better.
Argh!

Unfortunately, the “cloud” has at least TWO problems that I can see: (1) What happens when you can’t connect? (2) Your applications can “change” and you have no control over them.
Wifi isn’t a ubiquitous utility. Without it or without a secure one (and I haven’t seen a secure one yet.), you’re stuff is at risk.
When you rely on Google for “word processing”, then they can change their code anytime they feel like it. And, how do you know “your data” doesn’t change either?
So, the cloud isn’t the be all and end all. imho.

The cloud is the only way to go, and Apple has to get on the ball with wifi/bluetooth transfers. On a separate note we we “updating” Jen’s IPHONE through ITUNES an it wiped the phone clean and reset everything to factory settings. I called Apple and was informed that this did happen from time to time, and nothing is saved in the cloud so contacts, calendars etc. are gone. Obviously Jen needs to back up more, but the fact that they can’t retrieve it after 5 minutes is silly. Palm, Google, Windows based phone can be “fixed” after an error like this. Hence, my reason for getting the EVO 4G and not going to an I-Phone (plus AT&T sucks in Iowa)
