Apple takes away EQ quality 75% degradion for speakers in new macbookpro !

as we did a notice , the new macbook pro from 2006 november had a degradation in quality for the build in speakers.
apple decided to take away 75% of the EQ from these new macbookpro build in speakerset.
what we have left is not much to hear...
i stick to my may 2006 version , just because for this reason . i need these high quality speakers.
this is a large step back ,, i just wonder why ? its sad !
anyone answer ???

I find the sound to be very good on my MBP C2D. As for 'hi-fi', they are stereo speakers, better still I was watching a DVD last night through built in speakers.
The THX intro with the little mechanical man started, he was flying around all over the place and he even sounded like he was behind me when he flew off right side and came in the front left side.
I was amazed that the MBP could create this effect with limited speakers.
I demonstrated the effect to some friends and they agreed the sound from the MBP was 'fantastic'
Think you might have dodgy speakers (or ears)

  • Did Apple take away our ability to swipe back and forth within a Safari window?

    Before the upgrade, I was able to swipe back and forth on the same window. After the upgrade, I can't swipe back and forth, but can only use the tiny left and right arrow keys in the toolbar (click only). I looked on system preferences, and the ability to swipe back and forth has been taken away. Is this a problem for anyone else?
    Moreover, scrolling has been reversed. Rather than dragging my finger down to scroll down, I drag my finger down to scroll up. Is there a way for Apple to change this?

    Swipe left or right SLOWLY with two fingers to move between pages.
    The new, reversed, scrolling is called "Natural".  Dragging your fingers down drags the page down, as with the iPhone or iPad.  You can turn off Natural scrolling in the Mouse or Trackpad system preference if you can't get used to it.

  • Why did Apple take away the ability to shuffle videos?

    A firmware update about a year ago took this feature from my 5th gen video iPod; I was hoping other iPods didn't suffer from the same affliction, but lo and behold, my 3rd gen Nano does the same thing. If you set Shuffle to "Songs" or "Albums", the iPod will only play one video in a playlist, then stop. If you turn Shuffle off, and put Repeat to "All" you can play all the videos in a playlist, but only in order.
    Can anyone think of a way around this, short of manually doing the shuffle yourself in iTunes? Or alternatively, anyone know how to contact Apple techs and get this feature put back?
    Thanks
    Paul

  • How can i change my apple id? and delete a try for creating a new one?

    I need to change apple id. Been clever enough to find out where to do it.
    But unfortunally i tryed to create a new one instead a month ago.
    The outcome of that is that i now cant change my apple id because it says that the user name is allready in use.
    I did not verify my attempt to create a new apple id so i whould like it to be deletet so that i can change my old one instead of creating a new one!
    Hope you understand my writing here, I`m a norwegian.
    Thank you.

    If these are both yours on the same account then give them different names so iTunes can tell them apart.
    If the sync was an accident then do a "wipe" of the other iPad and set it up as new under a different ID and make sure iTunes knows it's a different accout, that is set it up as one, before you begin the sync.

  • Step by Step Setup Apple OS X.5.8 Mail.app for Verizon's New Security Settings

    This is how I have done it (from http://verizon.com/emailsettings)
    You'll need the following email settings:
    Incoming mail server (POP3): incoming.verizon.net
    Incoming Server Port Numbers: 995
    Outgoing mail server (SMTP): outgoing.verizon.net
    Outgoing Server Port Numbers: 465  Why is this important?
    Make sure SSL encryption is enabled for the incoming and outgoing mail server.
    In my Mac (a Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1GHz) under Leopard OS X 10.5.8 ...
    Mail.app > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced
    Choose "Use SSL" ... that changes the Port to 995
    I did that for each of my current e-mail Accounts.
    Also ...
    Mail.app > Accounts > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) > Edit Server List ...
    For each Server Named:
    Choose "Use custom port"  ...  and enter 465
    AND
    Choose "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)"
    For for the record, "POP3" does not show up as an Incoming Server, only "POP" for my Accounts.
    I believe this is what Verizon is asking for ...

    Excellent. This works great. I did have to fish around for the actual settings on the outgoing server(s), since that step was missing from your instructions. Thanks for the explanation - I see that Verizon would not supply a Mac explanation (only  Windows).

  • Can't update to ios7 on ipod touch 4th generation on this ipod. had facetime but now it requires ios7 so i have it no more and used it a lot with family. would have to buy new ipod. apple should not take away the capabilities you have already paid for

    No correct, you do not need iOS for FaceTime. You only needed to update to iOS 6.1.6.

  • How do I take away a unit/number that I have linked to my Apple ID?

    I have let my brother link his mobile number to my Apple ID, however, now all of his text messages that are sent and received as iMessage get on my phone as well. So I want to take away his device/number that is linked to my Apple ID and have him create his own.
    Can someone please help me how to do it?
    Thanks for any help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
    You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own.

  • PLEASE APPLE, GIVE US SYNCING VIA ITUNES BACK!!!!!! Why take away one of the most valuable features of iTunes???? Why take away our choice of syncing via the Cloud or locally with iTunes????

    DO NOT UPGRADE TO MAVERICK UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE DEPENDED ON APPLE’S CLOUD. It removes the ability to sync Calendar, Notepad, and Contacts between your apple devices. You then can only sync them via Apple’s Cloud. For those of you like me, that do not want to be depended on an external data base accessible via the Internet or Cel Phone (with data charges).
    Why do I not want to use the Cloud to sync and backup?
    1. I found I only have one device with me at a time or am sitting at a computer when I add to my calendar, make a note, or add/change a Contact. Syncing with iTunes while upgrading apps and doing a back up to two external hard drives worked great and met my needs.
    2. I use WiFi and pay for the minimum data plan with my Cel provider (AT&T). I do not want to pay higher monthly data fees.
    3. I do not like a central data base (that will be hacked someday) having the personal info I have in my Notes, Schedule, and Contacts.
    4. I like the security of my most important data being on my own hard drives and written off to Data DVD’s, not subject to even rare central system outages/failures.
    5. I do not like the prospect of becoming dependent on a Cloud in which the provider could decide at any time to either start selling information or charging monthly fees to recover the costs of providing the cloud.
    I am reluctant to go to the trouble to go back to 10.8 because Apple will eventual stop providing updates to 10.8 and 10.8 compatible applications.
    PLEASE APPLE, GIVE US SYNCING VIA ITUNES BACK!!!!!! Why take away one of the most valuable features of iTunes???? Why take away our choice of syncing via the Cloud or locally with iTunes????

    You will need to contact Apple through their feedfack channel. These are user to user forums, sorry.

  • Why It takes almost a minute after chime for apple logo to appear on my MBP

    Why does it take almost a minute after chime for apple logo to appear in my MBP

    Have you recently replaced your drive or RAM?  If so, try resetting your PRAM.  This is a common problem after replacement.  After I replaced my drive, when I first turned my machine on I thought I screwed up the drive replacment since the Apple logo didn't come up... thankfully it eventually came up.  After resetting the PRAM, it booted as quickly as it had previously.  I've had this happen on two machines:

    I have marked some video cuts for removing, and want to activate them again and take away the marking (a red line over the thumbnails). How do I do that?

    In the middle tool bar, near the Reject Tool that you used to make the red marks, there should be an "Un-Mark" Tool. Select this tool and you can erase the red marks. It should look like an empty star.
    YOu can select "View Rejected Only" to make sure you get them all.

    What if I chose the 250Gb memory for windows but I want to take away from Makos 50 Gb but I do not want reboot windows

    If I understand you correctly, you are asking how to resize your partitions for MacOS and Windows (Boot Camp) you don't want to reboot the computer to do it.  If that is correct, then I don't know of any way for you to do what you want.  In order to resize the partitions, you will need to reboot the OS that is running from the partitions, preferably exit the OS, resize the partitions, then restart the OS, so it has a clean view of the disk.

  • What is the best video converter for high quality MPEG-4 for Apple TV?

    What is the best video converter for high quality MPEG-4 for Apple TV?

    Handbrake won't convert AVI files, But there are many more than those mentioned that will
    The choice of conversion software is a personal choice, I have around a dozen applications that will tackle AVI's, however VisualHub is not one of them, not because there is anything wrong with it but rather I have enough such applications in my arsenal already.
    I would use mpegstreamclip in most scenarios for what you are wanting to do but maybe not always. It is a good idea to have a few applications to choose from as not all do the same thing. mpegstreamclip has a few more options than some bog standard applications without becoming overburdening with choices.
    You might want to try a few applications yourself before deciding on the software for you. isquint is a free limited version of visualhub, you might want to give that a whirl to get a feeling for visualhub.
    Be aware though that quality conversions do not happen quickly, claims of being faster than other applications may well be correct, but are usually a trade off against quality. Again you need to choose your software to reflect your preferred balance between speed and quality.
    Here's how I use mpegstreamclip, http://web.me.com/gartside1104/z008/Mpegstreamclip.html but your AVI's may well be low quality, you shouldn't set the bitrate any higher than your source file and likely lower, you shouldn't increase the frame size either.

  • Does apple take payments for for fixing broken Mac Pro?

    Broken Mac Pro that needs to be fixed and I do not have 700 to fix it. Do they do a payment plan for fixing the Mac Pro?

    If you are dealing directly with Apple in the US, you can ask for a Depot Repair. It may require the approval of the Store Manager, so be sure to be nice to everyone you deal with.
    This takes about a week, subject to parts availability, and your MacBook is shipped to a regional Depot where it is returned to "operates as new" condition (based on a list of defects you provide) except for existing scuff marks on the case. The service is provided at a lower flat rate -- about half the cost of an in-store motherboard replacement. Anything on your "laundry list" will be looked at and addressed.
    I submitted one MacBook for this treatment for a screen problem, and I complained that the top case was also cracked. They replaced the entire top case and the keyboard in it, all included.
    If your MacBook has unauthorized modifications, such as an SSD in the DVD bay, these must be removed before submitting your machine for this service. Otherwise, your machine will be returned to you un-repaired. Aftermarket drives and memories installed in the expected spaces are acceptable.
    Other than the time required, I do not know what or why some repairs might qualify for Depot Repair. If anyone reading knows, please speak up!
