Any cases other than the smart cover? or some that go with it?

Hey,
Has anyone had any luck with affordable cases that work WITH the smart cover? I am mainly talking about cases or covers for the back of the iPad that work with the fancy smart covers.
I will bet a pretty penny a bunch of case designers will make back covers to go with the smart covers.
Has anybody found any other cases in general?
The smart cover scratching the iPad is pretty bothersome. Not sure if I want to get one anymore...

I'm guessing the only way to get around this issue were if someone was to manufacture those clear films (ie like the screen protectors)for the back/side of the iPad 2. I'm guessing it would have little adverse effect on the magnets efficiency and you could replace them however often required? Its certainly something I would look into.

  • TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

    I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems.  I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
    I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
    Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
    When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
    I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
    But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally.  So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
    If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens.  If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
    Any idea how I can clear that message?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Further info on my question above.
    I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some. 
    I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
    Neither of these steps fixed the problem.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when using any app other than the web browser.

    My MacBook freezes when using any app other than the web browser. I can open up Google Chrome and use it all day with no problem, but if I minimize it and try to browse through photos in my picture folder or do anything that involves the Finder, the computer just freezes up and I get the rainbow wheel. If I put in a CD to play it, the computer freezes with the rainbow wheel. Any suggestions? I would like to use the mac for more things than the internet.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • HT2688 Having updated to iOS7, I am unable to upload a video to shared stream but when I do, it won't play on any device other than the one used to upload ... help

    Having updated to iOS7, I am unable to upload a video to shared stream but when I do, it won't play on any device other than the one used to upload ... help please

    I also have this problem, as does everybody else I know who has tried to use the video in icloud. As the original poster says, they can be uploaded, but will only play on the device from which they were originally uploaded, appeaering only as images which display an endless buffering symbol when "played" on any other devices with which the photostream is shared.
    Has anyone been able to get this to work? And if not, why is there no acknowledgement from Apple that this bug exists and will be addressed in an update (now running 7.0.2 and still no improvement)? It was, after all, advertised as one of the attractive new features of iOS 7. So why the stony silence?

  • Does any iPod model (or has any ever) other than the iPod Touch support iCloud or wifi syncing?

    No, the Touch is it.

  • Any better cases than the "smart" cover?

    I just got a new iPad 2. I really like the iPad 2, but really dislike the "smart" cover, and I'm sorry I got that.
    It's definitely connected correctly, but has already fallen off half a dozen times on the very first day.
    Neither the small tilt for typing nor the tall angle for viewing positions are particularly stable, and they are hard to set.
    It doesn't handle well when open and using.
    I just don't feel confident or "protected" using it.
    I liked my old iPad 1 Apple black case. It was very functional. Anybody know of something similar for the iPad 2 with appropriate cutouts?
    I can't believe this idea made it off the drawing boards.
    Anyway, any suggestions for something similar to the iPad 1 Apple black case would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    doug

    Try this, it's design is pretty similar to the original iPad case. (Which I quite like too)

  • MacPro wont boot from any disk other than the main HD

    Hi all,
    I want to startup my MacPro from a different drive other than the main (original) Macintosh HD, so I can do maintenance and for emergencies.
    However, I cannot startup from a DVD. Not DiskWarrior, or even the retail Snow Leopard disk.
    I attempted to install the OS on another internal drive, but the intallation seemed to fail (the disk I tried to install onto was Mac OS Extended, Case-sensitive, Journaled, but there were no complaints from the installer.)
    So even though my computer runs OK, and I can continue doing work etc, I am unable to do the maintenance that I believe it needs.
    I have tried to:
    • Run the updated DiskWarrior DVD
    • Run the SL instal DVD
    • Taken all the extra wires/drives out of the back of the computer
    • Attempted to install the OS onto a second internal drive
    I have not:
    • Zapped the PRAM yet.
    • Run the computer in target disk mode and worked on it from my MacBook
    • Run the MacBook in target mode to use its DVD drive.
    This problem has come up before on this machine. I can't remember what the problem was, other than I used to run the MacPro on its side. No longer. Not for the last few months.
    Anybody come across this before? Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    You could use CCC to do a trimmed down clone and leave out most of the sub folders. Do a 2nd clone to have a full working copy.
    Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.2
    Cloning as a Backup Strategy
    My guess is one of your drives needs to be reinitialized. Only during format will the hidden partition blocks be tested, and of course a healthy set of partitions created, things that cannot be repaired normally - though Lion Recovery partition does have abilty to check the health of partition tables. And about the only reason I'd even buy Lion!
    Check partition table health in Lion's Disk Utility
    Manage all partitions with Disk Utility in OS X

  • Is there going to be a better cover than the smart cover for the ipad3 , the smart cover is crap!

    My so called smart cover is useless, falls off doesn't stay supported up, all it does it put it to sleep. Is there a better cover coming for this?

    Since Apple never released a "better" cover for the iPad2, I wouldn't count on it - but if Apple is planning releasing a new cover they haven't announced it, and nobody here can speculate (by terms of this forum) on what Apple might do.
    That having been said, there are hundreds (thousands?) of covers available from other manufacturers, in a wide range of form and function, many of which work with the new iPad, and undoubtedly many more will be coming out soon now that the case manufacturers can tweak existing models to work with the 3rd generation. Do a search for "ipad covers" and see what you can find that meets your needs.

  • Don't have correct permissions to any drive other than the boot drive

    I installed SL, and when it came time to enter in the user name, it said the name was already taken xxxx and so I entered yyyy. As an example.
    Now User yyyy has Read / Write permissions for everything on Drive 1, the boot drive, but ALL of the other hard drives have xxxx as having Read / Write permissions, and not for my new account yyyy. So everytime I need to write a file to a hard drive, I have to fix permission for the folder the file resides in. This is getting old fast.
    How can I change all my drives, folders, files, etc, etc to have yyyy permissions added without doing them 1 at a time?

    what kind of backups? manual ones? then it's ok to do the following
    select a drive and enter command+i. in the resulting popup, unlock the lock at the bottom, change the permissions as you want, then click on the "gears" action button at the bottom and select "apply to enclosed items".
    However, let me stress here that you should NEVER EVER use "apply to enclosed items" on ANY system created folders, system drives or TM drives. that includes btw things like your home folder, your desktop folder etc. use it ONLY on folders you made yourself. using it on a system drive will have catastrophic results. using it on any system created folder will likely have highly unpleasant ones because such folders often have invisible ACLs and using this button will propagate them inside.

  • How to blacklist any IP other than the ones (or range) I specify

    Hi,
    I am new to NAP and have just installed the role on our main server.
    What I would like to achieve is that only device IPs I specify can use the network and access resources including the internet.
    The result would be that any new device that comes into the building, be it a phone or laptop, can not join the network or use the internet without me assigning it a manual IP address and white listing said address.
    How can I achieve this with NAP (or do I need something else)?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Im not sure if you are referring to NAP (network access protection) or NPS (network policy server).
    None of which will easily do what you want out the box though.
    NAP performs health checks against client computers and depending on the health of the computer either grants or rejects access to the network. It can be enforced through various methods including DHCP restrictions, IPSec, VPN etc. Some are more secure than
    others. Health checks include items such as the state of the AV, if the firewall is on, if Windows updates is on etc. 
    NPS is basically a RADIUS server. This works in hand with NPS, but can also help you restrict access to networks following certain requirements. Generally this would be used to lock down WiFi networks, and works in tandem with your access points. 
    If you just want to block access to non allowed IP addresses you have a few ways to do this. And it really depends on how full proof you want it, and your current network equipment. You could for example rely upon DHCP filters, and only allow IP's addresses
    you have added to the allow filter in DHCP, any other IP you need to manually add. An other option would be to use the windows firewall, and an proxy / web filter device. The disadvantage of these is someone could give them selves a static IP address matching
    one that you have allowed and that would work. Another option would be to use MAC and IP ACL's on your routers, switches and firewalls if they support it. 
    There are other options too, it really depends on your setup, your budget, and how restricted you really need it. 
    Thanks

    or screen protectors? nearest apple is an hour away, cant get on phone at all. thank you all

    This is not true of all stores. My local store had no other cases besides the bumper and no screen savers. Didn't have them when the store opened either.

  • When I try to transfer songs to my ipod touch or my friends ipod nano in which both have manually managed music, I get error 13019 "Ipod cannot be synced".  This problem started to occur all of a sudden. Any ideas other than the resyncing?

    When I try to transfer songs to my ipod touch or my friends ipod nano, I get error 13019 "Ipod cannot be synced".  Everything was working fine and transferring successfully and then this problem started to occur all of a sudden. My music is managed manually and always has. I looked online for a solution and they all involve resyncing the library and unchecking voice memos. Is there a way to resolve this issue without having to resync my music or reinstall itunes?

    Have you powered off and then back on the router?
    Have you done anything to the router recently like changed a setting?
    Have you tried:
    - Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Resetting network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network SettingsTo me the error sounds like a network/router problem vice aan iPod problem.

  • Stacks in LR5 will not expand, and I can't seem to select any photo other than the top of the stack.

    Since upgrading to LR5, I've been really frustrated by stacks. When I export to jpg, I add it to the library, and add it to a stack with the raw. In LR4, it was easy to select either of these files, since they were side-by-side in the library, but with a visible indication that they were linked. Now, choosing expand stack does exactly... nothing. As far as I can tell, I can either select the very top photo of the stack by clicking on it, or all files in the stack by clicking on the little 1 of X box on the stack, but I have no way of selecting individual files in a stack.

    Your email provider has blocked the standard mail port 25 for sending emails and is requiring a different port. This is to avoid mail relays that use mail clients to send spam. You need to find the port that is used by your provider for sending outgoing mail. Then change the settings in your email account on your phone to match the port. You will also have to provide some security credentials for the account.
    You can also try deleting the email account from your iphone, and the adding the email account back as this will many times set the correct port for sending emails.
    You could also do a Google search on the the settings for your device with your email provider. That will provide you with the proper settings.
