Any improvements to new 3G audio speaker , also comments on yellow screens?

Hello all you new 3G owners, can anyone comment on the "New improved audio quality" as mentione by Steve Jobs? Has the speaker phone volume improved and can you hear the ring tones?
Also a few people are commenting on yellowish tint to their screens, can you state how yours is, so that I can see if it across the board, or just one offs.....
Thanks

Compared to my 1st generation iPhone, side by side, the 3G does appear yellow-y, while the 1st generation has more of a blueish hue. Kind of like when you make a picture "cooler" or "warmer" while editing photos. It bothered me when I put them side by side, but when I put my 1st gen. up and just held my 3G, the screen seemed fine. Does it have to do with the quality of the screen, or just the hue? Is this something I need to be concerned about, I wonder.
Oh, and the audio: It seemed much crisper and less fuzzy, but I didn't really find it louder. It is not bad, but it could be better.

New Retina Macbook pro 15 Haswell system yellow screen??

Can someone comment or verify if there is a problem with the New Retina Macbook pro 15 Haswell system screen? Something concerning a yellow screen. Is this a problem?

Before you get too deeply into screen switching, you might take a look at what's probably the longest thread in the Apple Communities. Then, try the Expert calibration mode in Display Preferences>Color to see if that helps.

Problems with new Yoga 2 Pro (battery, fan noise, yellow, screen orientation, on-screen keyboard)

I purchased the Yoga Pro 2 on Thursday October 17. I love the computer for so many reasons, (especially since it replaces my 4 year old Compaq that was 6.5lbs!) however, I am also having a few issues with it.
It is the i7/8GB/256GB model from BestBuy. I am experiencing the same yellow issue as is mentioned by many on here. I didn't realize it, though, until reading these forums and then comparing to my old computer and my ipad and iPhone. A little disappointed, though it looks like Lenovo may be working on a solution.
But the real reason I originally came to look at this forum is because of 2 things: my fan and battery.
The fan (on the right side of the keyboard) is always on! I didn't expect this, and am wondering if mine is a lemon or if others are noticing the same thing. It's pretty noticeable, especially in a quiet room. I was showing off my new computer to a friend and the very first thing she said was that it was loud! She was using a MacBook pro, which wasn't making any noise at all.
The second thing is the battery... I am attaching 4 photos all taken within a few minutes of each other. If you cant see them, they are all of the battery meter on my screen. I am listing the time of day (to show how much time passed), percent remaining, and time remaining:
10:04 (88%) 306 hr 15 min
10:05 (88%) 8 hr 48 min
10:09 (86%) 4 hr 54 min
10:29 (81%) 5 hr 12 min
I feel like my computer just cant make up its mind!!
Another issue I had... I turned on my computer to show it to a friend (same friend who said it was noisy) and the screen image wouldn't flip when in any of the modes. This means I showed her the stand mode with an upside down image. Even in tablet mode I couldn't get it to flip. I turned the computer off and then on again, and luckily it decided to work, but it was frustrating, and I hope it's not something that becomes an issue.
Also, when I have the computer in tablet mode, the keyboard automatically pops up when I click somewhere to type... but this doesn't happen in stand mode or tent mode. Is this normal? I would have thought that the keyboard would appear in any of those modes, since the real keyboard is not accessible in any of them. And of course now that I am testing it out while writing this, none of the modes (including tablet) is having the keyboard come on screen. Of course, I know I can always choose the icon on the task bar to bring up the keyboard, but it would be nice if the computer did it automatically since it knows there is no other keyboard accessible in those modes. Is this an issue anybody else has had?
I really do enjoy using this computer, but some of these issues really need to get worked out if I am going to keep it. I'd love to hear if anyone is experiencing anything similar, and if there are any good fixes!

I just got a Lemontine Yoga 2 Pro i5/8GB/256GB from lenovo.com and the silver one from BestBuy in the same configuraiton. The silver one has no issues except for the crazy number of hours remaining on the battery which is fine, doesn't bother me. The fan noise is very quiet, and you can only hear it if you put your ear up to the vents in a quiet room.
Now the Clementine one...It was heating up pretty good. I put my ear to it on many occasions and can hear nothing at all, the fan is either missing LOL or doesn't work. I had an issue where I left the thing on for 4 hours, but sleep is configured after 5 hours. When I tried to use it, it showed me the screen brielfy, then blank. Tried hard reset, called Support, nothing. Support says its dead. Ok, an hour later, it turned on. I'm guessing it was too hot and was in some mode to protect itself, like a smartphone that is left out in the sun for some time, it won't power on till its cooled down.
I'm still in process of trying to get a hold of Lenovo to swap it, but since they no longer sell this configuration, I doubt they'll be able to get me a new one.
The silver one from BestBuy us solid though, love it, best in class in my opinion...actually got it from Future Shop sorry...from Canada, but they're essentially the same store.

I just got a new iPad air and also own an iPhone 5. I'm receiving most of my text messages on the iPhone, but some but not all are also showing up on my iPad. I don't want them on my iPad, any suggestions on how to get them to stop showing up n my iPad?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV (with the exception of the Apple TV 1) does not sync, it streams everything from your library on your computer or from the internet.

Not sure that I have selected the correct forum. Hope my questions are clearly stated.
Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter. TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices). It does not show Mail or Safari menus. System preferences' display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution. I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access. Is there any way to make this work for us? We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web. Do we need Apple TV to do this? Or is it not possible with our old iMac? My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor.
Thank you

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time, you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

How can I get my audio input and output devices back? I have no sound and cannot see any of the devices in Audio MIDI Setup..??

Hi, I tried to set up a new output audio device on my mac that would have multiple outputs (iBox Twist speaker and my internal speaker) but when I went to click onto one of the iBox Twist (there were 2 options available: iBox Twist and iBox Twist Stereo), Audio MIDI Setup crashed and when I finally got that back open, I found that there were no audio input or output devices to be found. My sound is working, as when I turn on my iMac, the starting sound still plays, however the volume control in the menu bar is no longer a black colour, but grey and when I try to change the sound on my keyboard it does not change. This already happened to me once, and after 3 hours I managed to fix it very simply (switching off Mac, unplugging power cord, leaving for 15 seconds, plug power cord back in and switch Mac back on, holding Alt, Cmd, P and R keys until you hear the Starting Up sound twice) however this same technique that fixed it once before is not working this time and I am still stuck without sound. I have tried Repair Permissions, rebooting in Safe Mode, Hardware Test and checking for Software Updates. Has anyone else had this problem and managed to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me!

In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
Switch off Mac
Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
Switch off Mac again
Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.

After Install IOS 8 and 8.0.2, the Ipad audio was distorted, and the bluetooth connection to audio speaker have wheezing.

I ALSO just updated my brand new iphone 6 to 8.0.2, and I ALSO had my cellular service BRICKED.
All I get on the signal meter is Verizon 1x. Every so often 3G would popup and you could send a text (no calls though) but it's gone in seconds. So I can't send texts or make phone calls.
This phone worked immediately before the update and stopped working immediately after the update.
My neighbor has a iphone 5S. He updated to 8.0.2 lat week and had no problems UNTIL just this morning, when his phone stopped working - no cellular voice or data. He downgraded back to ios 8.0 but his cellular service never came back.
Called verizon - was told there were no service outages and then I got transferred to tech team.
Tech team had do all the Apple troubleshooting steps but nothing more. So they said "take it back."
So this BRAND NEW iPhone 6 phone is BRICKED because of iOS 8.0.2.
Thanks Apple!

New touch better speaker?

does the new touch that was just releases have a better speaker than generation 2? Are there any other differences? I am thinking of upgrading my gen 1 to one with a speaker. I can either buy a refurb or a new gen 3?
Also is there any value today in the faster processor?

having upgraded from a 1G to a 3G, the difference in speed is definitely noticeable. the only other major difference is voice control (but you need the hardware for it - the 3Gs come with earphones that contain a mic, but i've never liked apple's earphones)
can't compare the speakers, havent read anything to suggest it is different, but its definitely nice to have (whether it be on a 2/3G)

Non-Apple Keyboard: any way to control system audio volume?

I have a non-Apple Keyboard on my new Mini Lion 7.2.1
Is there any way to control system audio volume via the keyboard ?

Well. I can do this. But just because, on my Apple keyboard, there are the keys that do the job. There's a key to mute, and the keys to adjust low and high the sound. But keyboard shortcuts, I don't think exist. The aren't in keyboard shortcut in Keyboard panel, within System Preferences. The bottom line is that isn't a menu item in Finder for lower sound and higher sound. The only option would be an AppleScript that you save as an applet within Scripts menu (activated in Finder via Script Editor) and you invoke with a shortcut... Well, you can do it, if you open the script Set Output Volume in UI Elements Script folder within Scripts folder. Try it out!

So I recently upgraded my ram to 8GB but so far I haven't seen any improvement. I ran some tests and everything turned out fine with the ram. What should i do?

What is the problem exactly???
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

LabView 2010: Any improvement in Resolution Independence?

Hi Everyone,
My last project I did in LabView was Way back in LV8.5. Back then, I posted a question concerning screen resolution independence in LabView. Specifically, making a form resizable at run time and properly scaling controls / text properly:
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Labview-resizing-control/m-p/577438
Have any improvements been made on this front in either 2009 or 2010? I'm getting ready to start another project where the UI must be able to scale (resolution wise) properly, and will probably use VS2008 if not much progress has been made in labview in this area.....
Thanks for your input!

In this day and age of widely varying (and constantly changing) screen resolutions, you would think this would be a bit higher on the priority list.
You might, but consider that many programs written in LV (including those built into EXE) are probably run on one or few stations, where it's easier to tell the users "don't change resolution" than to write any code which will handle this.
I don't have the experience with VS necessary to compare the two, but I assume that VS is still better at this.
NI is certainly aware of the demand for something like this, but they also announced that LV 2011 would focus on stability and performance improvements, so I wouldn't expect to see any progress in this area in the next couple of years.
Also, if you go to the idea exchange, search it first. I believe people already posted related ideas.

Will Robo Form work with any of you new browsers? I am still running FF 3.6 and will only upgrade if RF works.

Will Robo Form work with any of you new browsers? I am still running FF 3.6 and will only upgrade if RF works. I tried the browse after 3.62 and it did not support Robo form so I uninstalled it

Hi there! Actually, Roboform works with modern versions of Firefox. Please update to Roboform 7.9.0, and update Firefox to version 22 immediately. Continuing to use Firefox 3.6 is leaving your computer at risk for MAJOR security holes, plus known stability and performance issues. Please update immediately.
Also, Firefox will work perfectly fine with XP SP2, but there is no reason why you shouldn't update XP to SP3

Z Series Cards - Any Improvements over XFi?

I am looking to upgrade my PCI XFi to a PCIe solution.
Any one have any input on whether one of the Z series cards would be a worthwhile choice over an XFi card? Looking at the specs I'm not seeing any tangible benefits.
For one there is no 7.1 audio support. I know that 7.1 is becoming rare, but there are still 7.1 Blurays releasing and I think it's a worthwhile upgrade over 5.1. Especially if game developers can be convinced in supporting it. So I'm confused as to why a high end audio card is limited to 5.1
As for the rest of the features I'm guessing that the SBX suite is the same tech that was on the XFi cards, just renamed. SBX Surround = CMSS3D for example. Have any improvements been made?

You can Google or Bing the Z series for specs to get an idea of how those cards differ from the X-Fi family. I think the X-Fi cards host more processes in hardware but take this with a grain of salt.

New ALC650 audio drivers

They fixed dodgy AC3 sounds in windows for me and the rear speakers now actually work in the speaker test :D

No, this is a new service. The service that you are referring too is called "IMAPI CD-Burning Com Service". That service is required (though it can stay in manual) and is part of XP and came from Microsoft.
However, after installing the new Nvidia audio driver, a new service was added, called "Imapi Helper". This service is not part of XP, and did not exist on my system prior to installing this nvidia audio driver (I keep very close tabs on services and the like that run on my system, and this one was not there yesterday).
Furthermore, if you go into MSconfig Services tab, and choose to hide all microsoft services, this service does not get hidden. It's not a Microsoft service, it was added by the Nvidia driver.
