This has happened to me once before and I had to download all the music all over again. Does anyone know if there is anyway to recover the music from my iTunes on a laptop that no longer works? All the music is still on my iPod which I still have, can I connect my iPod to another computer and just transfer the music from that?
Your best bet would probably be to just transfer the music off of your iPod onto another computer. It's possible if you took your laptop somewhere they could recover your files, but that would cost money of course.
There are some programs out there that can do the iPod to computer transfer for you, but I prefer to do it myself (no risk of spyware etc that way). To manually transfer your music off of your iPod:
1. Enable viewing of hidden folders on your computer. How exactly to do this varies by operating system, so just run an internet search for "show hidden folders in ______" where blank is Windows XP or whatever operating system you have.
2. Connect your iPod to your computer and open it up using My Computer. When you open it up you should see a folder labeled "Music"
3. Copy that music folder to your computer - you can drag and drop it or do a right click and select copy and then right click where you want to transfer it to and select paste.
4. Import the music files into your iTunes library. There are options for doing this under the "File" menu in iTunes - by file will take one song at a time, by folder will take a whole folder of files at once.

If you can watch movies online for free, and download music for free via bittorrent & limewire, why still pay?
If you can watch movies online for free, and download music for free via bittorrent & limewire, why do you still pay for it via itunes/napster or netflix/amc etc?
If you buy something, it has DRM.
DRM can be unpredictable, and can mean that it might expire, or become downright unusable after the DRM updates or similar.
There was an excellent point about this in xkcd.
I'll link you to it.
http://www.xkcd.com/488/
That comic about sums it up.
My view is this:
I'm going to use games as an example here, as I'm a proud game(pirate)r.
If you buy a game, it'll be chock full of DRM. (Unless it's a Stardock game, in which case you should buy it)
DRM gas the tendency to install hidden drivers, and insist on connecting to the internet just to see if you've still got a legal version.
If you pirate a game, however, you can be confident that it's going to work, and that it's going to continue to work, without hidden drivers, without the compulsory internet connection, without expiry.
There is no point in buying something if you can get something for free that will work better anyway.
I'd like to dedicate this answer to the ongoing hate of DRM.
F*ck you, DRM.

How do you fix the audio problem on Windows Movie Maker?
I use Windows Movie maker.
I often will take a music video, mute the audio so I can dub a remix over it.
I Preview it before I publish to WMV video. Everything's all intact.
But When I view it after it's published, Everything's out of place.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
you have to save it in the form off lan for 512 kbs second. the option is on the screen were it says "save for best playback on my computer". exploreon that screen and you will find it. Good luck. Tell us wereyour video is so we can watch it.

How do you put subtitles on a movie in iMovie '08?
I made a music video in iMovie but the lyrics are kind of hard to understand. I want to know how to put subtitles on the movie, but that follow the lyrics. So if I am singing one thing, the lyrics to what I am singing are appearing underneath the video. Help help help!
Get to know them better. This is not a task only to be accomplished through dating. The more you get to know him or her, the more you can tell if you like them as a friend or something else. Just talk and do fun activities with the person.
Stop and consider why you like the person. There are many physically attractive and smart people out there. But if you see something beyond that really catches your attention, you've marked this person as unique and probably like them. Why else would they stand out from so many?
Consider how many times you think about the person. If you find yourself thinking about this person several times a day, and they are happy thoughts that possibly make your heart beat faster, then you probably like them.
Think how often you laugh at their jokes etc. When you like someone, you will find yourself laughing at things even if they aren't that funny. This is a natural attempt to make them feel appreciated.
If the one conversation between you and the person is stuck in you head and you cant stop telling people about it. this means it was important to you, and you probably like the person.
Consider how much you try to be near them. If you've planned your walking speed to catch a glimpse of them as many times of the day as possible, there is a good reason for that.
Think about how you feel if you touch him or her, by accident or on purpose. If you're still thinking about brushing shoulders several hours ago in school, then that is a special thought and you probably like them.
If you feel you're ready for a relationship, and are confident enough for a positive response, then just go ahead and ask them out. If you're unsure of their feelings for you, there are several wikihows on how to tell if someone likes you.
