I want a iBook badly but i dont know if i should.

can anyone offer me advise on how they like there iBook or not? thanks cameron

First, I agree with Tal, you should read his 2 part review. I read it and would like to thank him for taking the time and effort in composing and posting it. I for one 'did' appreciate it! Briefly, I am a computer veteran - on the IBM compatible or Windows PC side of the fence - last month I purchased my first Apple, first iBook laptop (notebook). I was apprehensive because I wasn't sure I would like the iBook, OS X Tiger or the whole Apple experience - I needn't have worried - I Love it :)! I should have made the switch years ago, but then OS X Tiger wasn't available then :)? My iBook is a ditto of Tal's with the only exception being I went with the Super Drive. I had originally thought my computing time would be divided 50/50 between my Windows XP PC (desktop) and the iBook, what has actually happened is I spend 90 % of my time on the iBook and only 10 % on my Windows XP PC - Who would have thought, I sure didn't. Speaking about my iBook, simply put, it just works and I'm thrilled with it! Don...

  • I need a mac, but I dont know if I should wait for the new OS X 'leopard'

    I dont have a mac yet, but I was looking at the new OS and the Time machine feature really caught my attention. Being a design student this could be the feature ive been waiting for. I just dont know I f I should wait for 'leopard' to be released or not. I really nee the computer now, but I dont want to pay extra to upgrade to 'leopard' later on. The web-site doesnt specify when It will be released, I was wondering If anyone knew If its a couple of weeks or months?
    This would help me make an easier decision.
    If anyone could give me some insight, that would be great.
    thanks.

    iMacs that shipped with
    Tiger still boot Jaguar
    Bollocks! While they'll boot specifically compiled
    versions of Darwin they will not boot Jaguar from a
    boxed retail version or any version of Jaguar that
    came with a Mac.
    the iMac G5 will simply not boot any version of
    Jaguar that came from Apple retail.
    Bollocks! is right , you're absolutely wrong. My iMac which came with Tiger still boots retail Panther quire easily.
    The tiger I was referring to, on my MBP is the Darwin 10.3 version recompllied to suport Intel. Yes i agrre that a newer Intel based system won't boot an older PPC based DVD, I should hope not. But thats because of PPC vs Intel NOT some supposed policy from Mac
    I'm not sure where you get anything to support your statements since from the time That Intel based macs shipped with Panther there was no retail version of Tiger available for Intel, since then there has been no release of a new OS X so where are you even geting your so called "facts" from? Prior to that we were talking about PPC based Macs which most definitely ran prior version, in fact my old Powerbook which shipped with Tiger runs Jaguar and 10.2 and 10.1 as well.
    While not officially noted, not that I'm aware of at
    least, this has been Apple policy for quite some
    time. While sure, you can get a Mac to use many
    things it wasn't "meant" to although that doesn't
    mean one should.
    That's just plain wrong on so many levels..
    So where are your use cases to support your made up policy?
    {i] If you look back at each successive Mac OS X upgrade
    from Jaguar and look at the systems that spanned the
    release of the newer OS. In each case, even though
    the hardware was exactly the same, those systems that
    shipped with the newer OS failed to boot and install
    from the discs of the exact same system that had the
    older version OS. Yes there were a few that did
    although once Apple manufacturing caught up with
    itself, which was normally a week or two, they
    didn't.{/i]
    Just wrong again, Yes maybe if the hardware has changed to support some new device in the new Mac. The only way that would be true as if you factored in the change from PPC to x86 architecture. I have several machines which run retail versions of OSx back to 10.2, some even 10.1 on boxes that shpiped with Jaguar or even Tiger. And there are no firmware blocks that limit that. That is what you claim
    Give us some examples of this "supposedly unstated policy" you seem to think is in effect.
    INo… because you're not correct through simply not
    referring to Apple retail versions of Mac OS X and
    moreso, the implications of such advice infers that
    one has full support for older OSs where they do
    not
    Bottom line… if you want a system that runs Mac OS X
    Tiger then buy one that comes with it..
    First of all I never said that one has full suport for all old versions of OSX. I said there is NO policy in Firmware that prohibits newer OSX based machines from running older versions of OSX. But I think you're just basically overlooking the fact that in the cases you cite there were probably actual hardware progressions that made older retail version not see newer hardware. It wasn't some mysterious Firmware blocking as you claim. It was pure hardware progression.
    By the way, what if someone follows your advice,
    waits for Leopard and finds they need Tiger and can't
    install it? What are you going to do beyond shrug you
    shoulders and say "not your problem"?
    Uhhh, if you read my post, I never said to do what you seem to think I said. I merely asked YOU to cite an example of this "policy" and firmware blocking, which you haven't done yet BTW, cause I think you're wrong and I don't think its a policy to block, as you suggest, in firmware, a previous OS version for every new hadware version shipped with a new software version.
    When Leopard ships on a C2D MBP you will not have to worry about that MBP not running retail Tiger. It certainly won't have some mysterious firmware block on booting Tiger after some mysterious two week period as you claim. Now if there is a NEWER revision with newer hardware that ships with Leopard there may be an issue with a currently available version of Tiger because it doesn't support the new hardware. It won't be , as you claim, some unstated policy manifested in firmware that prevents Tiger from installing.
    So lets just end this here and now cause its a waste of people's time and my posts weren't claiming that if you need tiger don't buy a machine with Leopard on it, as you seem to think I was saying. What I said and stand by is this. There is no unwritten or written policy that has Apple blocking previous versions of its OS X in new hardware shipped with new software via firmware. Unless tha actual hardware contains devices that the prior version of OSX was unaware of. That's all I was pointing out. Somehow you stretched this into something completely different.

  • I want to buy this, but don't know if I should wait for new version..

    Hello,
    I've been a RIM and a BlackBerry fan for about two and a half years now. Originally had a Pearl about two years ago and liked it a lot. I got the Torch 9800 last October (2010), and absolutely love it, and would rather have NO other phone--I still love the Torch and still use it now. And I am now considering getting a BlackBerry Playbook tablet.
    It only seems though, that my luck is always that I buy something new and then soon after, a NEWER version is released, making my version obsolete. I am considering making a purchase of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet here in a few weeks. Is there going to be any newer version of it released that I should wait for instead, or something? Just  trying to make sure I make the best decision in order to stay as up-to-date as I can.
    Thanks.
    -loyal RIM and BlackBerry fan,
    etccu

    There's been no announcement of a new version coming out, except for a LTE mobile network version, which hasn't surfaced yet. Other than that , RIM hasn't made any plans public.

  • I dont know if i should get an iPad 2 or 3??

    Hi all,
    I am going to get an iPad soon but I dont know if I should get an iPad 2 or an iPad 3.
    Its a lot to do with cost but I also dont want to get one that I will later regret and think I should have gotten the other!
    I am looking to use it for everyday use, emails, apps, web browsing and when I am out and about the occasional film too!
    I am really stuck because I dont have a lot of money and so therefore this is a big decision for me!
    I know i dont really need the 3G already but I am really torn between the iPad 2 and the 3.
    If I was to go for the 3 then I would only be able to afford the 16GB version which is the same as my iPhone.
    If I was to go for the 2 then I could afford the 32GB version!
    Advise would be really good thanks,
    Paul

  • I have changed the apple ID (email, but on my iphone , the icloud is stil asking me to log in whit the old email.And it is poping-up on every 10 seconds.I never used icloud, and i dont want to use it.I just dont know how to disable the icloud.

    If you see that pop up you enabled icloud. Whether you want or do not want now to use it irrelevant until you actually disable activation lock.
    In order to do that you have to change your apple id back to do that just long enough to sign in and back out. System will ask you to verify, don't.
    Just sign in on the prompt you getting and then logout. Once done, change apple id to what you have now and verify. Then decide if you want to
    use icloud (who does not want to be able to track their phone if lost or stolen).

  • I want to buy ipod touch 4 (8GB) , but i dont know is that enough for me

    I want to buy ipod touch 4, my friends said i should buy 8GB one, but i dont know is 8GB enough for me to use. some people said that it only have 6.7GB for you to use, cause the ipod apps already used some of it. I want to have maybe 100 songs, some apps, pics, few games, 5-7 books, few online movies. For some of these, i would probably delete them and download new ones. So, any suggestion?? Please? I really want to buy it before this summer. but i dont want waste my money.

    I would opt for the 32 GB one. Many users have been disappointed when they purchased the 8 GB since they quickly filled it.
    Some apps can take 1 GB themselves. See the following for some other stirage useages:

    You have to restore and thus erase your iPod. that is how it works.
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    i have a mid 2011 i5 imac and i want to transfer my vinyl records to itunes but i dont know what usb turntable would be best for my imac that has compatible software for transfer to itunes

    Hallo,
    I use an Akai usb turntable with the Audacity sw delivered with it. To monitor during recording I also use the LineIn utility (all this on a Macbook Pro with Mavericks).
    It works fine, only the input volume of the usb audio port cannot be adjusted (at least I did not yet discover how to do it) and the volume of the music is lower than other music imported into iTunes from CD or iTunes store, but still acceptable.
    Success, Jean

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only wipe your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

    You will need to remember or find the id that you used, without it you won't be able to re-activate your phone - if you are on the activation screen then does that show the first letter of the id and the email provider's name ?
    Do you know if you have any of the account's downloads in computer's iTunes library - if you do then you can get the id form that : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name.
    If not then see if you can find it via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID.
