Anyone got one of these?

Previous post deleted by mods - apologies.
I need some advice on this product:
It's called a "padprop" which allows you to apparently use the iPad more comfortably etc.
Anyone got one of these? What do you think of it - any good?
TIA

Right, and isn't that the one where you don't even have an iPad and you're pimping this UK iPad product just because you thought we'd all appreciate knowing about it?
If it was pulled, as you say, then clearly I wasn't the only one thinking that it smelled perfectly like an ad.

Anyone using one of these processor upgrades?

Is anyone using this processor upgrade from Other World Computing?Its this one:
Motorola/Freescale PowerPC G4/7447A Processor running at 1.6GHz
# 512K of 1:1 L2 Cache @ 1.6GHz
# 100MHz or 133MHz bus operation
# Bus Ratio of up to 16:1
I have just recieved a Quicksilver 733(was supposed to be a dual 800,but it was defective),and I would like to max it out without spending nearly $400.00US for one of the 7448's.Is this worth $200.00US?Will I notice performance close to my dual 1.25 MDD?Or is this just a waste of money?Any info at all on this upgrade would be very appreciated,thanks!

Well,duh,I should have just looked at your sig japamac! I forgot you were running one of these,nice to know its reliable.Good to know it will keep up with my current computer as well.Thanks BDAqua as I actually wanted to know if it would at least be better than the dual 800 I didnt get.Dont mind spending the cash,just dont want it to get out of hand if its just a small increase in performance.This will be paired with a 9800pro and sata Hitachi 1TB upgrades,so this shouldnt be a slowpoke with Leopard.And of course I maxed the ram out.Again thanks for the info(and FAST!!)!

Has anyone used one of these powermats to charge their iPhone(s)?

I've been thinking of maybe getting one of these powermats (see link) and I'm wondering if the IP will charge from one of these mats just by laying on it? The description talks about some "tip" and I'm also wondering if an IP would have be actually be plugged into one of these mats in order to charge? At $90+, it's not a cheap way to go, but I like the idea of just laying my IP or Nano down on it and having the unit charged when I'm out-the-door again. Sounds too good to be true, but I do like techie gadgets .

WOW,,,those reviews are awefull. The magnet messes with the compass feature also on the 3Gs. I will not be getting on

Has anyone tried one of these $40 eBay batteries...

...found this on eBay. Price sounds good but we all know what that usually means:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220396594649
Has anyone tried one?
-Alan

While the ad says "new in box", that box may well have been sitting on a shelf for more then 5 years. And if so, it's worthless. LiOH batterys begin to decay from internal self-oxidation the minute they are assembled. Even just sitting idle on a shelf, under perfect environmental conditions, they will only last for 4-7 years, after which, their capacity to hold a charge is pretty much shot.

Anyone using one of these SSD?

looking at buying one of these bad boyz to run my OSX with Logic and PTLE on my MAC PRO 3.2 8 core. I have a UAD solo and an additional FW card as well and a SATA card running 4 external HD with Port Multiplier. My concern is that this may kill my PCI BUS. Any advise before I buy this thing?
Thanks in advance.

Anyone got one to work with Leopard yet?

Posted this Rant at the end of another Topic, slightly OT so reposting here (with some additions):
I wish I could report that iTunes 7.6 broke my apple tv, because that would mean it had been working up until very recently. Sadly however, it hasn't been used since i put leopard on my media server (mac mini).
I bough one of the first batch of 40Gb ones before there were 160Gb ones, and have had to remove and re-add it to iTunes (streaming) every time i used it until leopard. now it will sometimes put in a fleeting appearance when removing a disk or plugging in an iPod.
Once it was even there long enough to tell it to sync one film. Since leopard my work around has been to remove and add it again but with syncing not streaming then sync the one film or tv show that is required. unfortunately this has only worked once.
What have I Tried To fix this i hear you cry well...
Under Tiger:
complete os rebuild, disabling firewall, rebuilding mac subnet from ground up playing sequentially with advanced router properties (yes i do know what i am doing, I'm a paid IT Technician) calling in a friend with networking and IT communications degree to help, calling in father with 20 years corporate network design experience.
End result? nothing changed in the way my network was setup, as nothing was wrong with the way i had it set up to begin with (that said the initial setup of the router justifies a whole f*ing essay). during this time all mac's at all times had current software. i took all software updates hoping for a fix. in the mean time using the workaround described above.
Under Leopard:
Are you Joking? even less functionality. after reading up and discovering you CAN'T DISABLE the leopard firewall yet, devised new work around (as above) worked once, gave up. too much to deal with with wifi connections under leopard dropping out continuously.
Result: useless piece of kit with truly wonderful and sleek looking software interface.
I think a large part of the problem is my laughable router which seems to flake out requiring a cold restart multiple times a day. (airport extreme 'n' 1st generation).
Both are just under a year old. I'll wait for 10.5.2 + Apple TV update + update to airport extreme base station (hopefully when time caplsule comes out).
If this doesn't resolve all my issues I'll just return ATV + AEBS, call it a day with apple networking and get a netgear n router, and one of those network HDD's with video playing capability and a tv output and hook both things up by my tv. no video conversion to itunes required. wireless n access to my media. half the cost, job done.
Don't get me wrong, mac's are still amazing but these two devices have shattered my faith in apple products, unless it's a mac or an iPod, I'll steer clear in future.
I would go back to Tiger but it is too much hassle now. They'll fix the WIFI and the firewall in 10.5.2 at which point there'll be nothing to stop me using my machines with leopard. updates for pro software continue to be released and nearly all of my applications worked with a clean install anyway.
Back to the topic, has anyone else got an ATV with leopard that does nothing at all? i want to be able to say to them that the product they sold me is not fit for purpose and return it under that premise.
Also if anyone has a fix (non voodoo please) I'd gladly eat my hat and just start using the bloody thing, albeit 10 months after purchase.

You say you tried switching off the firewall i tried that too and your quite right it seems that it will not work with the firewall off. as turning it off does not turn it off.
sos10: "I did make sure however iTunes wasn't on the list in the Firewall settings."
The list your talking about (if you're talking about the leopard firewall) is the list of programs WITH access. so if you have it set to: "set access for specific services and applications"; iTunes would have to be in that list with "allow all incoming connections".
The only other setting is essential services only which doesn't work. As this doesn't include the port we need to get a connection.
out of the three the one that works the most is the: "set access for specific services and applications"
iTunes - "allow all incoming connections"
This i when i get the odd reminder vis the devices list that i have a useless £200 electrical device heating up my front room.
Maybe this wouldn't be such a problem if you could actually open a port in a firewall (shock horror). I know they'd have to hide the option away somewhere so as not to mess up the simplicity of the interface!

Firewire Expresscard problems... anyone got one that works?

I've got a toshiba laptop and I'm trying to hook up my first generation iPod with a startech.com expresscard reader (with two firewire ports). My third gen works fine, but the 1st gen can be read but not wrote to in windows explorer and iTunes (leading to all sorts of drama when I try sync). The iPod works fine in my other firewire computer. Does anyone know whats going wrong or know of an expresscard adapter that they use and works?
Thanks for your time,
Sean

Well, I have the one before that, the 2405, and I have them both connected via DVI. No problems.
Somethings wrong with the monitor...send it back.

6212 Classic. anyone using one of these?

i love the idea of contactless payment but has anyone with this phone set up the NFC payment system? i'd be interested to here how everyone is getting on with it?
Nexu 5

Yes, I am using my card and its real good as no need to carry the credit card.
Not much to worry about currently as new and the wallet is locked and connected to the bank security (if advised it has been lost/stolen - Just need to ensure its locked most of the time for additional safety).
Also its a Java phone.
It's real cool, just one swipe, the best thing is the bank informs you in 1-2 minutes of the transaction with the balance.
Did it help?

Has anyone used one of these with success.

I have my eye on a Adaptec fireconnect afw-1430 but I have a 333 Lombard and the system requirements say a 400 or later. I know from some programs that say similar claims usualy work with less but I would hate to order this and it not even install because it see's I have a 333 and not a 400 ( have had that happen also ) .

freefour,
FireWire PC cards work just fine in any powerbook that natively supports CardBus (32-bit) PC cards, and Apple added this technology to the Powerbook G3 Series Wallstreet and newer. Earlier powerbooks would only support the PCMCIA (16-bit) standard. I run a FireWire PC card in my Wallstreet and it works just fine.
There are a few limitations with FireWire and USB PC cards:
-You cannot boot an external FireWire HD through a PC card; only built-in FireWire ports support this feature.
-FireWire and USB cards supply only minimal bus power, so you will want to have your external devices powered by their own power supply. For example, if you wanted to run a 2.5" FW HD, you will need a power adapter for the HD. This adapter is optional on some 2.5" FW HDs but all 3.5 HDs come with their own power supply.
If you are running 10.x, the necessary FireWire drivers are already installed. If running 9.x, you will need to install Apple's FW drivers, so post back if you need help adding these drivers.

LaCie d2 Quadra drives - anyone got one

Heya,
was wondering if anybody has a d2 Quadra drive (fanless) and could comment on it, namely regarding any problems and how loud the drive is.

I bought one about 2 and 1/2 years ago and within the first year it started making a high pitched sound. I called LaCie and they said it was probably the power adapter. They sent me a replacement and the high pitch sound stopped... for a year.
A year later, it started making the high pitched sound again along with some other strange sounds and they said "let's replace the drive." I received a replacement pretty quickly (after shipping my original) and it's been fine.
I must say even though the drive made strange sounds, it NEVER CRASHED and I never lost any data. LaCie was very helpful and responsive so I have no complaints with their customer service. Also, I use eSata and benchmark speeds comparable to my Raptor drives.
In terms of noise, it's not loud, but it's not silent.. you can tell it's on. It makes as much noise as my Quad G5 (which is respectably quiet).
Overall, I like the drive, but I try not to record in the same room with it.

I'm thinking of upgrading to a HTC m9 anyone got one and what do you think of it?

I don't have one, but a have seen a few complaints about it.

It's not a big upgrade over the M8 so if you have that I wouldn't change, my Dad moved from the HTC M7 to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and says it's easier to use

Anyone got an ethernet cardbus/pcmcia working with 10.5?

My ethernet port packed up but I got a DLink DFE-690TXD cardbus/pcmcia card working OK under Tiger. But after upgrading to Leopard it's now not working as noted on http://forum.insanelymac.com and on the post (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8388326&#8388326). However these sources report that some gigabit ethernet cards (RTL8169 chipset?) work under Leopard without the need for a driver.
If anyone has got one of these working then it would be very useful to hear which card you have.
Thanks

The lexmark P190 series driver is built-in to Leopard:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306684
The Lexmark SW you installed is really, realy old. Print Center was last seen in 10.2!! It was replaced in 10.3 with Printer Setup Utility. As you noted PSU was moved into System Preferences in 10.5. So I would not really trust Lexmark SW that is that old. Lexmark doesn;t always get things updated that quickly...but is has been a while since 10.2.
You should be able to remove the Lexmark SW (remove/Library/Printers/Lexmark). Then you can re-install the Lexmark drivers that came with Leopard from the DVD. Try those....They are Way newer what you tried.

Has anyone got a quick start manual like this?

Hi all,
I recently bought a refurb Macbook Air 11 (2013) from the australian apple store and I noticed that the quick start guide that I had was not on the apple store. Whats more, it says that my macbook air has a thunderbolt 2 port! Has anyone got one like this? Note the copyright 2014 on the right. Is this the actual quick start guide?

Thanks for reply Demo. What I mean by 'failed' is nothing happened when I hit the 'Verify Now' box on the email from Apple in my Inbox I expected to move to another page to enter further details but that didn't happen and there was no message saying 'verification accepted' or similar. I spoke to Apple Support and after about an hour she advised me to speak to a friend. If my friend can solve this, Apple needs to give her a job. Thanks again.

ANyone got this "portfolio style" case?

Found this at Hand Held and it looks OK but the stiching seems screwed up in the photos suggesting build is sloppy--if you've got one of these please do a review? Maybe with a close up picture or two?
http://www.handhelditems.com/kroo-ipad-melrose-leather-case-black-preorder-only- 4302010-p-132542.html

I wound up returning the Apple case because of its cheap build and difficulty getting the iPad in and out of it. Bought a Belkin "vue"-type case at BB for $15 less than the one on sale at the Apple store but hate slipping it in and out just to check an email or phone number. Never a good place to put the case once you have the iPad out.
I found this one at Marware, ordered it and received it in two days. Total cost of $44.99 including shipping and no tax. I'm very happy with it. Build quality is great, it's stylish and compact. A little flip-out stand on the inside makes for a good typing angle. I'm still playing with how best to watch videos on airplanes but I can generally raise it up enough to make for a good movie experience.
YMMV but this one is a keeper!

Free Red Droid Incredible 2 did anyone get one?

I ordered mine Nov 28th as it was free instead of buying the iphoine 4 S it never came and my order was cancelled and now Verizon CS says oh we ran out what is your order number. Did anyone get one of these? No one ever contacted me to offer any other kind of phone, except now I can get a black one and pay $149 and mail in a rebate for $50, If I had called a week ago the black was offered for free when the red ran out!!! Something is wrong with this picture and its not like Verizon I have been with them a long time. I may just go to AT & T and get my iphone after all. I am out of contract so have been trying to see if they are going to follow up with me.

Hello alalsip,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Incredible 2. It sounds like you have done all the troubleshooting steps that's recommended on a new device. The good is that you are within your 14-day return policy. We can exchange your Red Incredible 2 for another at not cost to you. If this solution works for you then that would be great. If you would like to exercise the device exchange to another make and model then you have that option as well. Keep in mind that there may be a price difference, depending on which device you choose, and a $35 re-stocking fee. The original packaging for the Incredible 2 is required should you decide to exercise either option. If you have any questions or concerns as to which option is best for you then feel free to reply to this message for additional assistance.
Thank you...

Anyone got one of these?
