All you iPhone boffins!

Hey, my mate has an iPhone with lots of music on it and since his PC died he lost all of the originals.

He knows if he plugs his phone into his new PC it will sync and lose all of his music, is there anyway to back up all of the music stored on the phone and put it on the PC, so he can update his music without losing it all?

I googled it but a lot of places are like HEY use this program, it's only £40!

Thanks,

Must be due to the new collisions I guess, not to worry, serves me right for not doing it on the first lap..

I've had quite a few e-mails for replays being deleted because of not passing the new HLVC check, which is fine, but I got an e-mail about this replay, saying it's out of sync?

I just watched it and it runs fine here, though i'm not on the new patch, a few other guys who drove this combo at the same time as me still have their hotlaps online?

I wouldn't normally bother but I quite liked this hotlap, was very close to a perfect lap for me.

Oh no, this is an outrage, I really hope the admins/mods do something about this, I cannot believe someone would actually have the audacity to edit your skin and pass it off as their own.

Unbelievable, I feel for you.

Look good but I would stick with a similar silver, you'd be surprised at just how good that "usual" color looks when fresh.

Failing that, pink, just not black!

Quote from Nadeo4441 :Maybe he writes with his left hand?

Then why is his "fake" right arm in a writing position?

Also, when I write stuff and i'm leaning my head on my hand, I generally use my right hand to lean on as i'm left handed...would be hard to do both!

Quote from rich uk :Dear AtomAnt.
Please may you please stop posting bad videos/photos/comments in their own threads. Please use other threads.
For example this could have been posted in the "hilarious video" thread. a photo could be placed in the "inevitable pictures" thread. Your comments could be posted on your own wall, so we don't have to witness them.

Best wishes, Live For Speed community.

Dear Rich, this video deserved it's own goddamn thread so it got one!!

Epic video, was pissing myself the whole way through!!

Quote from BigPeBe :Looks more like MK1 Bubble arches to me.

I thought that too but I could of sworn he said MK2, probably my bad since all I really wanted was a shot of it, couldn't care how many different cars it was made up of!!

Saw the worlds fastest toyota yaris today, 620bhp RWD!

Saw it driving into the MOT station I was at and thought "Look at this dumb riced up pos" and then as it strolled by I noticed the engine in the back...

2.0 MR2 engine, monster of a thing, the guy who built it is into old cars so it has bits of everything all over it, like the rear arches are from a MK2 escort, front grill from a megane etc..

Does 9 seconds 1/4 mile, he's had it at just over 200mph, but the nose starts to lift at 170, crazy bastard. Amazing little machine though, but over 100 grand to do this...no thanks!

It's now a show car, he's got quite a lot of show cars too so the guy does it right!

11 miles of 40mph average speed camera, was mostly a slight downhill/flat for a bit, was at 98, then dropped to 94 at the end when I hit a few hills.

I did cheat and reset the trip computer when I was already on the motorway, but on my way in from Stirling this morning in the traffic then the motorway I got 62mpg, but again most of it is 40mph.

My average over 1500 miles is 50.5mpg, which is really good considering how many times i've been late, or tested for limp mode, which seems to have cleared itself.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

That Mk4 advert seems a bit dodgy to me. That car is overly cheap, smells of a ringer. Combined with an advert age of 16 days (a long time for such a 'bargain', a seller called Ali Baba and "lady owner" probably would put me off.

Exactly my thoughts, your not finding a MK4 TDI 115 with under 100k miles in that nick for under 2.5k...

You can get some MK4's for under a grand, but your talking 1.4E's, which have nothing, your lucky for a radio.

That MK5 TDI is a good find, though i'm not to keen on going down in power, thinking of sticking with the MK4 and maybe get an anniversary, insurance is only £100 more for the PD150 now, happy days.

Also, happy days #2, on the trip back from Glasgow today...

My old man has a 1999 S type Jag, 4.0 V8, it's been quite poorly for a while, only running on 5 or 6 cylinders...

He bought 8 new coils packs, we replaced them all today and sure as hell it fired up like new, took it a spin along a 'private' road, 0-100 was naaaaiiiizzzz!

@Klutch, he used to have a V8 Soarer, he's been looking into the 2.5TT now, showed him your video, all he could comment on was the lovely sound of the V8 soarer wooshing by.

Not a good pic to show the damage but both rips you can see in the tyre are about 6mm deep, which is quite far into the sidewall, i'm sure it 'would' be fine but just in case it's not.

A tub of filler? Well i'll pushing for 2 tyres out of him, since there's not a hope in hell he's going to fix it, i'll have to do it my self again, which will take at least a day with prepping and drying of periods...

Look what mums husband done last night?...

http://i51.tinypic.com/11hxsty.jpg

Idiot wanted to put my car up the drive so he could park infront of the house? A bit pointless since I was then parking my mum in and if he went up the drive he would be leaving first so it would make no difference to anyone.

Anyway after he took my keys I watched him try to put it up the drive, my path next to drive is like a concrete kerb basically, and instead of driving straight up the drive, parallel to the kerb, he drove diagonally into it.

To the best part, the fanny didn't even apologize, actually the opposite, had a moan at me for being annoyed? Really quite angry, considering I spent 2 days refurbishing them to get them looking pretty damn good. Also, as you can see the side wall is fecked, since I do a lot of motorway driving I really don't fancy driving around on something like that, nor do I fancy the £60 fine and 3 points from the 5 0.

whats chavvy u plonker, you can't even see it if you do it properly, all body shops use it.

Amazing by the way, my mums husband just decided my car should go up the drive instead of on the road, and scraped my rear alloy all the way up our path, then thinks there's nothing for me to be annoyed at?

It's safe to say i'm a tad more than a little bit annoyed.

Quote from Anthoop :It is unlikely that the chip is the fault, more than likely the motor commutator is clogged and this has shorted out a few of the circuit board components....that are readily available and replacable. My G25 suffered the same fault, I managed to get the components replaced and cleaned the motors.
Take a look at this thread- http://www.racesimcentral.com/ ... h-G25-G27-Main-Board&
Note- Even if you replace your circuit board without attending to the motors it will cause the same fault, measure the resistance of the motors to ensure they are not shorting the circuit board out.

I have 2 G25's, one which the FFB motors died which shorted out the main board, and one which was semi working but very loud. So what I done was (Just out of interest) plugged the new board into the old wheel which caused a slight fire inside the FFB motors, which then would have caused the breaking of the working main board. So if I hadn't of tried this I would of been fine, sucks to be curious.

Anyway, I have tried every combination, different wheel, different connectors, different base for the wheel (so different connecting pins into the chip) and the same result has always came around.

I know the FFB motors work on the second G25 because I had it working before hand, well slightly but instead of just setting about making this wheel work properly, I thought I would try and diagnose the first broken wheel, so I could make have 1 working wheel and 1 spare, but this obviously shot me in the foot, meaning I have no wheel working at all.

Thanks for all the replys, thanks for the link Deko, i'll give him a pm tomorrow.

Hey, the main board on my G25 is broken and i'm trying to source a replacement, if anyone has a broken G25 that they aren't using would they be able to sell me their main board?

Just to clarify, it's this bit.

The problem I have is that everything is recognized fine, all buttons work etc, but the wheel won't calibrate, after plenty of research and testing the chip is the only thing that could be faulty.
