I tried to install the recent iTunes update, and it failed from teh automated software update. I installed it from a direct download from the website, but now it won't sync my iPod, and throws an error saying that the service or something for talking to iPods couldn't run or is no longer installed. During the reinstall, it said that it couldn't install iPod Service or something, and to check that I had the privileges to install system services.

any suggestions?

On a Mac? Trash prefs, replace app with a new copy and chmod 777 it up (or just repair permissions).

per wikipedia:

Wikipedia wrote:
The Scroll Lock key was meant to lock all scrolling techniques, and is a remnant from the original IBM PC keyboard, though it is not used by most modern-day software. In the original design, Scroll Lock was intended to modify the behavior of the arrow keys. When the Scroll Lock mode was on, the arrow keys would scroll the contents of a text window instead of moving the cursor. In this usage, Scroll Lock is a toggling lock key like Num Lock or Caps Lock, which have a state that persists after the key is released.
Today, this particular use of Scroll Lock is rare. Only a few modern programs still honor this behavior, such as Lotus Notes, Forté Agent, FL Studio, and Microsoft Excel. In modern GUI environments, scrolling is usually accomplished using means such as scrollbars or scroll wheels. Therefore, Scroll Lock can be regarded as a defunct feature in almost all modern programs and operating systems.

I'd like to see Scroll Lock replaced by a second Caps Lock that makes capital letters even more capital.
