The score:

  1. Eee PC works great with Netbook 10.4
  2. Two laptops upgraded from 9.10, both worked fine, though there is screen noise during booting on the Lenovo.
  3. And the Lenovo does not properly drive the external VGA monitor??? I haven’t found the fix yet.
  4. RAID5 server upgraded 9.04, worked great.
  5. On one of the Laptops when using FireFox 3.6.3, I had to install Adobe Flash 10.1 (by hand) in order to watch Live.TWIT.TV (Google for adobe flash 10.1 download, grab the tgz file, flashplayer10_1_rc2_linux_041910.tar.gz, extract libflashplayer.so, and mv /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/, and then restart Firefox

There are many documented solutions.

I was trying what is listed here http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=6055900&postcount=161

1. Synced the phone to iTunes 7.7.1
2. Then selected the phone in the devices list on iTunes
3. Selected the Applications Tab and unchecked “Sync Applications”
4. Pressed the Sync button at the bottom of the page which then removed all apps from the phone.
5. After that was done a few apps were still left on the phone so I deleted them on the phone itself.
6. I disconnected the phone from the USB cable and powered it off then powered it back on.
7. When the phone started up I then was able to get to my music and videos on the iPod part on the phone.
8. then uninstalled iTunes 7.7.1 from my PC and rebooted the PC……..

I got through step 7, and then decided to try something less drastic. I only selected the applications I really wanted (and was using) on the iPhone. I had about 80 apps loaded. I used iTunes, (on Vista, … sorry ;) ) and only 71!!! applications I liked.

Wow, now everything works again…Only took about an hour!
