Comment on iPod won’t fast forward? by WJS

Way to go!! I could only skip through 3 songs (why 3? I don’t know) and then it would begin skipping through song titles (about 1 sec each) without playing any of them. I would have to go back to a playlist and pick a song to get it going again. You’re method worked GREAT to fix the problem instantly!! Thanks

Kristi: You obviously work for elance. However, I chose not to flag your comments as spam, even though they clearly are.

Elance has a tough battle ahead after not one but TWO security failures last summer. I hope they’ve hired a good security officer and are putting better protection in place. I will likely never use them again.

Bad enough to crash, then not having any “official” help from the smarty-pants people at apple, then having to read endless strings on glitch after hiccup.
Happily I found my final answer tucked into the grateful comments on this post. I too lack the “GUID_partition_scheme” on my G4 17″. In the end I went with Mac OS Journaled format erasing once for good measure and then rebooting.
Glad I am for the trick it did.

You are a life-saver. Found the “solution” to this issue at Apple.com and after much frustration I was ready to give up. Your solution worked perfectly.

Thanks!!

Well, I really don’t understand one thing: when Rogers call me back every day with stupid questions and promos, some times they call even when i sleep, 9 or 10 pm Does anyone knows what they want, and what i should do, for they stop calling me??

Another point -

Elance takes security very seriously and I think it was very professional and smart for them to quickly inform users of the problems and then fix the security issue FAST! Don’t you?

I am sorry that you didn’t have any success with Elance however I strongly suggest that you give them another go-around. I personally have completed over 700 projects to date and I know many providers that are making good money with Elance.

The thing about Elance is that it caters to quality providers and buyers and you really have to market yourself effectively to make it work for you.

Here are some tips:

-Always submit individualized proposals that address the buyer’s specific requests. Highlight your skills effectively and don’t be afraid to provide additional information via the private message board.
-Only submit proposals for reputable buyers that have a proven history of paying their contractors and awarding projects.
- Don’t be afraid to ask for 1/2 down and the balance upon project completion.
-Protect yourself with a written contract.
- Know your worth and remain competitive. If you have to lowball in order to get your first project, establish a reputation or get a long term gig, then don’t be embarrassed. Many Elance providers have done that in the past – just don’t consistently undervalue your work. It affects your morale, drive and lowers buyers’ expectations.

Lastly but most importantly, HAVE FUN and NEVER GIVE UP!
