Logitech TouchMouse for iPhone (Windows)

So earlier today, I downloaded the Logitech TouchMouse iPhone app. First I installed the app, then I installed the Logitech Tough Mouse Server on Windows 7. But the annoying thing? It didn't work. Why? Because of the built in Windows firewall. Thing is, the instructions are really vague. So I'm here to tell you how to make this work. In Windows 7 (or Vista), click on Start and type the word "Firewall". You will see a list of things come up. Click on the one that says, "Allow a program through the Windows Firewall". You'll notice everything is grayed out. So at the window, click the "Change Settings" button. This ungrays everything and allows you to make changes. Scroll down to the "Logitech" exception and make sure both check boxes are checked. Then just click ok. It should all work after that. See the below picture for reference.

iPhone headset no sound during playback fix

So there is this problem with the iPhone that STILL seems to exist. You're listening to whatever and then you pause it. When you go to press play again, there is no sound. This issue is well documented as being a problem with the headset jack. In fact, based on what I've read, Apple even tells you to simply plug and unplug the headset multiple times until the sound comes back. Lame!

Well a week or so ago while doing laundry and listening to a record episode of the Howard Stern show, this problem happened. I started fumbling with the headset jack with very little success. Finally, I was messing with it for so long, I missed like 3 minutes worth of show! So I pressed and held the skip track button on the left side to rewind it a bit and all of a sudden the sound came back!

Tonight, this problem happened again. So I did the fix and sure enough it worked right away. Next time this happens, I will drop everything and take a video to post here to try to demonstrate what I am talking about. But in the meantime, if you are lost and happen to stumble across this then I hope this helps even just a little bit.
