4.6 to 4.7, worth the risk?

Having finally upgraded to 4.6 a couple of months ago I have managed to get everything working (with the exception of having to do manual backups as the normal back up crashes out at the Flexwallet databases).
Now version 4.7 is here I am wondering if its worth the risk\hassle of upgrading again. I cannot find anywhere what the differences are (should RIM not publish some sort of version list?).
So what's the opinion of the Blackberry customer support forums? Is it worth it for some new features or bug fixes or should I take the attitude 'if it is not broken don't fix it'?

Just to clarify things. This is not the Blackberry "customer support" forums, but "the Blackberry Support" community forum. It means we're are only customers like you, but we answer questions if we can. There are very few RIM representatives here on the forum, and they answer on rare occasions.
What I know from reading the internet :
4.7 = 4.6 + Storm is supported
4.6 = 4.5
+ Bold is supported
+ able to backup the internal memory media files (= no need for Roxio Media Manager anymore)
+ Media Sync is included (the iTunes synchroniser, instead of downloading it separately)
4.5 = 4.3 + ?? + very slow synchronization of events

Bootcamp - Worth the Risk?

From reading a lot of the beta discussions and some here with the "final" Boot Camp in Leopard, I'm still wondering if it's worth the risk.
I'm seeing a lot of devastating results being reported here during or after installation of XP.
My copy of XP Professional pre-dates Service Pack 2, but I do have the Service Pack 2 on a separate CD.
So, I established my Boot Camp partition with the Apple software, and carried on to XP installation. However, when I got as far as "Selecting the Windows Partition", my screen was quite different from the one in the Bootcamp installation guide (p11). There was no drive clearly identified as BOOTCAMP, and none of the partitions had a size close to what I had defined (32GB).
So, I decided to bail out of the process before doing any damage to my Mac files.
I guess I'd like to hear from folks who had no trouble installing Bootcamp and are satisfied with the results when using their Windows apps.
I'd also like advice on whether I should have proceeded with my installation, just picking the C: drive for the Windows installation, even though it wasn't clear it was my BOOTCAMP partition?

Its worth the risk if you follow the directions. Apple specifically states you must have a full version of Xp or Vista, an upgrade version will not work, nor will Xp without SP2 work. In your case trying to install the upgrade version would not have worked. You would not have hurt your Mac OS, but windows would not have installed either.

Is sacrificing 8 extra gigs worth the risk?

I have wanted an iPhone for a long time, but my family doesn't exactly have the money to be paying $200+ for a phone. So when I saw that the 8 gig iPhone 4 is now free with an upgrade, I got really excited. But a lot of people are saying that8 gigs isn't enough. I'm not a big app person - the most I'll want is a couple of games like fruit ninja and stuff; I have an iPod touch, so I won't be keeping all my music on my iPhone; and as far as media goes, I do love my ringtones and photos, but it's my understanding that 8 gigs isn't exactly a meager amount. So, advice from anyone? Is it worth the risk, or should I just try to save up the money for 16 gigs to be safe?

That's a good question elinder21. There's plenty of customers who get by quite comfortably with the 8 GB iPhone using what you've described. Most iTunes games are around 100 MB, normal length songs (about 4 minutes long) are only about 3 MB each, and most pictures taken on the iPhones are around 2 MB each. One gigabyte (GB) equals 1,024 megabyte (MB) of data, so 8 GB equals 8,192 MB of data. So the 8 GB iPhone can actually fit quite a bit onto it. Just remember, there is no way to increase the amount of memory available on the iPhones, but you can transfer files to your computer when you find yourself using more than expected. And if you frequently back up your information to your computer instead of leaving hundreds of pictures on your device at all times, there's a good chance the 8GB model will work well.
Whatever you decide, enjoy your new phone!

Is firmware 2.0 worth the risk?

Okay just want some feedback. Some are mighty ****** because firmware 2.0 has bricked their ipods or lost functionality...some are happy because the upgrade worked without issue. My question is this.....My IPT works perfectly at the moment with firmware 1.1.4....Are the apps really worth having and risking having terrible battery life, loss of wifi or having it not install at all. If 2.0 went well for you are you really pleased with how much more amazing your ipod has become? Give me a reason I should take the plunge?
Thanks.

OK, disappearing messages is bad. But I've not seen that behavior so it wasn't in the fore of my mind. I have to say the other two sound a bit like a personal wishlist, however. Not that they are bad choices. I usually end up turning off Flash on the road, since I predominantly run across it as advertising. But that is Adobe,not Apple anyhow. And deciding how much of an email is downloaded? I can't get too upset over that.
But as far as a wishlist goes, yes, I can see that those would be reasonable desires. Maybe like cut and paste they will be implemented when Apple gets to that point on their checklist.
As for that last bit about paying only to buy apps, that's just silly. I've already mentioned all the new features in this release. Plus improved wifi for 802.1.x or whatever that one that was giving folks fits in corporate/educational settings was. That is now accessible.
So sure, some of the items you would have liked are not there, but this is really more than "just the app store".

7.4.100.0 and bonjour - worth the risk?

Afternoon
I'm getting pressure from management to sort out a useable bonour gateway for our wireless systems so we can utilise Apple TV, etc.
I've been keeping an eye on 7.4.100.0 and now 7.4.100.60 and in my opinion it's just not ready, there seem to be way too many issues with it.
I would rather wait until 7.4.110.0 or even 7.5.x before I try it out, rather than disrupt our service just to get Apple TV working. I have said as much as the pressure has lessened but give it a day and questions will come in again.
I'm just after other opinions. What do you think? Better to wait?
Thanks

Well it depends. I have run 7.4 with no issues, as long as your not doing HA:) it also depends on what things your are looking for to work with bonjour. v7.5 will have the same fixes as v7.4 but with added feature sets. That is what you need to know. Anyways, you can alway bring up the Avahi bonjour gateway which works well. You just need to see what works best for you. I have no issues when running the Avahi, but the Cisco's bonjour gateway is getting better.

Upgrading to Aperture 3 on Snow Leopard iMac 4gb, worth the risk?

Friends, thanks in advance for your advice. I currently run Aperture 2 on a 2008 iMac, Snow Leopard, 4 GB. I am frozen in doubt to upgrade to Lion and/or Aperture 3 because of the tremendous number of reports of slowness. My new camera is not supported in RAW on Aperture 2, it's a Fuji x10, which is a great street machine. I wanted to upgrade to get RAW support, and slide show capability.
My questions:
1. If I stay with Snow Leopard and move to Aperture 3 will I be okay? I am maxed at 4 GB RAM.
2. If it does work decently, will I have to stay on Snow Leopard or do you think Apple will figure out the problem so I can use Lion with its multitouch advantages?
Final thought: I fear that Apple is just not committed to Aperture because the math does not add up. Market share versus Photoshop is negligible. I enjoy my iMac, but it appears that the money is flowing to the iPad, and iPhone because of the tremendous user base.

Hi Tim,
1. If I stay with Snow Leopard and move to Aperture 3 will I be okay? I am maxed at 4 GB RAM.
I use Aperture 3 on a 2007 MacBook with Snow Leopard. When I upgraded from Aperture 2, I noticed that adjusting pictures is not immediate, like it was in Aperture 2. There is a fractional second delay for most adjustments. This got a bit better in some subsequent release of Aperture 3, but to my recollection, it is not as good as it was in Aperture 2. Depending on which format I am viewing my photos (browser/viewer), the delay may be almost unnoticable or minorly irritating. (Of course, I cannot compare them together anymore, and it has been a year since I used Aperture 2.) Knowing about the delay in adjustments, coupled with the new features of Aperture 3, I still think I am in a better position with Aperture 3 than with Aperture 2.
2. If it does work decently, will I have to stay on Snow Leopard or do you think Apple will figure out the problem so I can use Lion with its multitouch advantages?
When you say "The problem", do mean our perceived lack of performance from Aperture? It's hard to say what Apple is thinking. I have never known a software maker to make software faster in general -- they just wait for people to get faster machines while adding new features to the existing software. We do not know what Apple is working on, but we can all hope they examine their software for inefficiencies and redesign things when they find them.

Aperture is not in the same niche as Photoshop; Apple knows this, too. We have continued to get minor updates to Aperture since version 3 debuted, including one less than 2 months ago. They are still working on it. That's all we can really say, though. If you want to see a whole lot of pure speculation and people getting angry at what Aperture 4 might bring, see this thread about. Personally, I agree mostly with the comments about Apple dumbing down Aperture, making the advanced features harder to find and use -- sort of like how Microsoft has made Windows 7 for the anti-power-user and left the power-user wondering how to do things effectively. That's just our speculation, though. For me, it's mostly based on inane questions in this forum. In other words, if the Aperture team makes Aperture work for the people asking those inane questions, Aperture will probably not be as useful to me as it is now.

Nokia 5500 worth the keypad trouble?

Hi, I was wondering is it worth the risk of investing in a Nokia 5500 considering the keypad issues that are surfacing, one which I've seen myself with a co-workers model. What happens if/when the keypad starts peeling off after the warranty runs out, what then? I want to know has Nokia taken corrective measures to solve this problem for good. So I go ahead and buy one soon? If not then I'll have to settle for an E50...

Ksuuk -- I've read the same thing that Nokia has changed its keypad. I wish Nokia would come out and say this to reassure their customers. But instead, Nokia is not publicly acknowledging this problem.
In fact, I cannot even get responses about peeling 5500 keypads on some Symbian forums, nor do I see any warning articles written by them. Only forum posters are talking about it -- that is, only the real consumers who are spending real, full-price money on their phones.
Really, this is not good customer relations. Yes, a peeling keypad on a phone marketed to be rugged is embarrassing. But it's not as if it's an incident of child labor or poisoning. Nokia as a corporation would be more admirable if they could admit this problem publicly and assure us that it's fixed. Not saying anything says a lot also, but it won't do the company any good.

I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

if you're not in a big rush - why not hold off until Adobe and Microsoft releases an update to support the Retina Screen.
Don't get me wrong - the Macbook Retina is a good and videos look great - but when it comes to Photoshop, it's a little blurry and the fonts in Excel and Word is pretty blurry too.....I own one....
In any event, if it's something you can live with - then by all means - go for it.....
Otherwise - get the non Retina Macbook Pro - it's cheaper, and it's user upgradeable in both RAM and Hard Drive.
Good luck.

A few moments after I open my hotmail, firefox tells me the site isn't safe and it doesn't give me the option to "understand the risks".

I just got a new harddrive installed in my laptop so I had to reinstall all my programs, including firefox. Everything was good until I tried to check my e-mail. I go to the sign in page for hotmail and log on, everything goes well until that. But after a few moments, directly when I try and send an e-mail or forward something it says "Kan op dit moment geen verbinding maken met outlook.com. Probeer later opnieuw" which translated in English means something like "You can't make a connection to outlook.com at this time. Try again later". When I try and refesh it brings me to the "This connection is not safe" page and I don't get the option to "Understand the risks". I am looking for a job, so at this time not being able to use mail is pretty bad. I can still use internet explorer, but you know... I'd rather not. English is not my native language so excuse potential spelling an grammar mistakes.

Is a MacBook Pro w/ Retina display worth the price?

Apple community-
    Looking at purchasing portability for school- going to work on an MFA in graphics/web/new media, and need some assistance. I've an iMac from 2007, seems to run flawlessly, but looking at options for taking school with me while at work- I'm currently travelling five different states in my current position. The new MacBook Pro with Retina display looks stunning, albeit expensive, but has many features that worry me.
    For instance, everything is completely bolted/soldered/non-upgradeable, so any desire of modification needs to be purchased pre-production, right? Also, the big issue with their PCIe "Flash based" storage... exactly what is this, and why is it so freaking expensive? I've read different reports on Apple using various manufacturers, so not every MacBook as the same storage model, no third party attempts at upgrades, etc.. If I'd like to install numerous, monstrous programs, such as the entire Adobe Creative Suites, 3D Max, Maya, Final Cut, and so forth, I'll need a high capacity memory drive, as I assume most, if not all of these, need a root drive to install, and not simply an external hard drive. I still make CDs/DVDs, so a SuperDrive is another $80.
    Chatting with an Apple representative, she stated that there is "only one model that will run my software at peak performance," which was the 15-inch model, starting at $2k; also, my software needed a "dedicated graphics card," I'm not too certain that it needs all that, and a high-end PC laptop could certainly run all of my demands- but let's face it, this is an Apple discussions community, and I'm plain simply accustomed to working on an Apple computer. Plus, I don't really care for Windows 8.
    Should I possibly aim to purchase an older model used, something without Retina, but with more storage? Is Retina that big of a deal for a laptop? I also considered the possibility of just toting a Mac Mini with a 13-inch Cintiq tablet; though it does need a constant power supply, it's still quite portable.
    Thoughts? Am I just overthinking this? I've been expecting a MacBook to be expensive, but this could be pushing it a bit.
Cheers!

guiparent,
whether it’s worth the price or not is an entirely subjective opinion. My own choice was to buy a used non-Retina 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and replace its hard drive with a SSD; but since I don’t use graphic-intensive apps such as the Adobe Creative Suite, my own choice would most likely not be best for you. Given your graphic design background, if you find the non-Retina displays sufficient for your needs, I’d recommend that you consider a used 15-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. That model has memory sockets, so you can replace/upgrade the RAM if needed; its internal disk can be replaced by/upgraded with any 2.5-inch 9.5-mm-high SATA hard disk or SSD; and it has a built-in SuperDrive.

What are the risks of jailbreaking?

What are the risks of jailbreaking?

Voiding your warranty. Losing Apple support and support of this form. Both are guarantees, not risks.
Bricking your iPad or catching viruses.
Not beain able to recover to factory default.

Oracle 8.1.6 and Redhat6.1 - worth the upgrade?

Hi to all of you who have taken the trouble to install the latest Oracle8i,
I currently have Oracle 8.1.5.0.2 on Redhat linux 6.1. This was a long and painful process as I navigated around all the quirks of the installer and reinstalled Linux several times to meet Oracle's requirements.
Is it worth the extra effort after just installing what I have now to get the latest verisons (of both Redhat and Oracle8i) Are there any major advantages to be gained?? Have major bugs been fixed?? Objective opinions from non-Oracle, non-Redhat sales people appreciated!!

I recently Installed 8.1.6 on RedHat 6.2 and Oracle seemed to have fixed all of their issues regarding both the installation as well as problems with the Intelligent agent and their gui config tools. I recommend upgrading to 8.1.6 if you need the remote administration functions that use the intelligent agent but if you are not willing to upgrade to 6.2 then be weary event though Oracle Says they have tested it on more platforms Who Knows what will happen if you do not have the latest and greatest.

Advisable is irrelevant... It is not possible. There has not been a version of IE for Mac for a long time. You will have to load Windows on your Mac in order to run IE, or try making your browser mimic IE. (In Safari, go to Safari -> Preferences, click the Advanced tab and check the box to show the Develop menu. Then, in that menu, choose User Agent -> Internet Explorer x.0.) Note that doing that will not work if the site relies on some weird non-standard feature of IE that no other browser on the planet has.

4.6 to 4.7, worth the risk?
