Apple TV Hardware HD

I know that iTunes sell 720p HD movies. However, if Apple was to release a firmware update for Apple TV, is the hardware capable of out putting 1080p file?
Is it just the file and firmware that restricts FULL HD or is there a limitation with the hardware?

The difference between 720p and 1080p is only noticeable on larger screens (40" or larger). For those of us with the likes of a 37" screen, we'll never know the difference.

iPhone warranty is not international, you can take it to the Hong Kong Apple Store and ask but don't be surprised if they hand the iPhone back to you and tell you to take to United States for service

4HDD/11/40000004: SATA (0,0) - Apple Extended Hardware Test

Hi!
My mid-2009 13-inch Macbook Pro's performance deteriorated last month. It become super super slow.
So, out of curiosity, I performed an Apple Extended Hardware Test. And here is the error code: 4HDD/11/40000004: SATA (0,0)
I didn't expect that problem to arise so I don't have any back-up of my essential files. I tried to copy my files to an external drive but copying a 600MB folder required me to wait for more than 30 min before receiving the error code which said somthing like "files cannot be copied"
Then, I bought a new 60GB Kingston SSDnow V+ and 4GB Trascend 1066Mhz RAM. I successfully installed Snow Leopard on my new SSD and installed the new 4GB memory. Things went well. I even booted my mac so fast using my new SSD via USB enclosure.
But the problem came when I installed my new drive internally. Flashing question mark appears when starting my Mac. Internal drive is also not recognized by Disk utility when booting my Mac from OS X Installation Disk. Installed my old drive and no success.
I don't know if the problem is the compatibility of my SSD or the SATA cable. For now, I'm booting my Mac on my new SSD via a USB External Enclosure. My old drive is installed internally but it is not recognized. And I find it too inconvenient to use my Mac booting externally (even though the performance is ultra fast) since I'm a college student.
My problems:
a. What to do so that my SSD will be recognized when connected on my Mac internally via SATA?
b. What to do so that I can have a back-up of my very essential files saved on my old drive? (I remember booting from my old drive connected via USB Enclosure took me more than 1 hour, then logging in to enter my password took me to watch that spinning rainbow wheel forever)
P.S. Sorry if you find grammatically incorrect sentences.
I also leave here in the Philippines. And there is no Apple Store here. Apple Authorized Service Centers don't sell the SATA cable. Purchasing the cable via internet is not feasible due to the following reasons: a. My location. b. I'm still a student and I don't have a credit card to pay an online purchase.
Your generous help will be much appreciated.
Here's additional info on my Mac:

Well, usually DW (Disk Warrior) may be able to fix that; see this discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/424787?start=0&tstart=0
You need to use DW from either an external boot disk or the DW CD since repairs cannot be made on a volume that you are booted up from.

Using a Mac Pro w / Apple Internal Hardware RAID Card?

Anyone using a Mac Pro with a Apple Hardware RAID Card 2010?
( I have a 12 Core )
Is it worth the $600-700 ?
How much faster than the software RAID 0?
I see Hamm's RAID tips chart .. but it doesn't include such options .. plus it is based on a PC system.
Any tips would be great ..
I find many areas where the application is slow / unresponsive .. and I'm not sure where the bottleneck is ... Maybe the hardware RAID will solve it?
I'm really am impressed with CS5 .. it would be even better with some adjustments .. but I am absolutely disappointed with sluggish performance on my top-of-the-line Mac Pro 12 Core.
This is not what I expected for a $8,000 machine.
Some users says that the port of CS5 for the Mac has taken a back seat to the Windows version at Adobe.
I can't imagine that Adobe would not put 100% effort into Mac products.
Go Team!!!

I have a 2009 Mac Pro 3.33GHz Quad core w/ Apple RAID card, 16GB RAM from OWC, and Apple's Radeon HD 5870 GPU.
I have RAID 0 set across 3x1TB drives internally, and the standard 640GB drive for OSX and all program files. I set all video assets, renders, previews and such on the 3TB RAID.
This seems to work wonderfully. I built this system specifically to edit a feature film shot on P2 DVCProHD, and I've been impressed with how it handles it. This was all built prior to CS5, which took me by surprise. Had I known nVidia would become such a problem for Apple, I would have built a PC, but that's another story.
I just started a new project in CS5 on the same system, this time using H.264 video from my Nikon D7000, and so far, it seems to play just as nicely, despite not having hardware acceleration via CUDA technology. Yellow bars on top, even. I haven't had any problems with clips taking a long time to populate on the timeline or any of that, so perhaps the RAID card helps there.
All this aside, I've already decided to upgrade my RAID for another reason. Right now, my backup is performed via an eSATA-connected external drive through a PCI eSATA card. After every edit session, I dump everything on the RAID onto the external drive, and it goes much faster than the old FW800 transfer used to. I'm about to replace my Apple RAID card with an Areca card and set up a 4-bay RAID 3 via an SAS connection. This will allow for excellent data throughput while offering more security than my current RAID 0 / manual backup system, and free up the internal drives for backups, exports and render files.
I believe in hardware RAID, but I'm not as knowledgeable as Harm and others are about it. I had my Mac built to order with the Apple RAID card, so I have no experience using Premiere with a software RAID. Due to my smooth experience using it, I think it was worth it, but plenty of people say the Apple RAID card is rubbish, and to go with Areca or Atto cards. I didn't know about them until after I built my system, and even though it will cost a couple thousand to upgrade my RAID from this point, I expect to have an even better system than I already have.
I hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions I didn't address.

Apple watch hardware availability for developers

Hi All,
I want to develop for Apple watch and was wondering if the hardware was available for developers before the actual launch.
I have already got the WatchKit SDK and all, but wanted to test on a real hardware piece.
With Best Regards
Adarun

We are just users here. Apple is not present. We can't answer your question. If you are a paid developer there is a paid class from which you can purchase hardware at reduced prices. Nothing is free for regular developers.

Which heading for posting apple keyboard hardware problems?

I'll apologize in advance, but I'm having a little difficulty locating a forum heading for posting about problems involving the Apple aluminum keyboard hardware. Specifically, I've been getting little electrical shocks once in a while from the keyboard. If someone would kindly directly me to the proper forum heading, I'll post about my problem over there.
Thanks!

Hi nconrads!
Maybe posting in the Using Your Mac Pro Forum, would produce some additional, helpful suggestions.
Others with the same hardware, may be experiencing the same issue.

Apple Support : Hardware vs Software

In the past couple of years, Apple has shifted it's policy on helping their customers.
It used to be, "Welcome to Apple, how can we help you?"
Now, no matter what your issue is, it ALL comes down to, "What device are you having this issue with?"
I am a paying MobileMe customer, formerly .Mac and now, not sure why anymore. If I try to call about Final Cut,
my iCloud email issue across my sea of Apple devices, it doesn't matter anymore. The first 40+ minutes of getting thru to a speaking
person is a joke. Then once you do, you have to convince them this issue has NOTHING to do with my MacPro, and everything to do
with an obviously software glitch that has caused my email to stop syncing up within MacMail.
I am an Apple guy. I own eight (8), yes, 8 Macs, not including iPads, iPhones and even AppleTV, the Apple HiFi, etc.. the list goes on.
I run my business on them, rely on them daily.
When I have a software issue with something Apple, like not being able to access my PAID MobileMe email on my MacMail software program, it's
beyond frustrating to get a fast, concise answer.

I'm trying to outline the ridiculous nature of the where Apple is going with things.
I called yesterday after my post and Apple told me my PAID, CURRENT .mac/.me MobileMe account is no
longer supported in their MacMail program on Snow Leopard.
Does that make sense to you?
If you're an iPad, iPhone and maybe iMac user, then you're all set with Apple. The horizon looks bright.
If you built your lively around Apple products and invested tens of thousands of dollars in hardware/software,
then you're days are numbered.

Is Apple TV Hardware new? Or just the Firmware?

I have been reading a lot on the new Apple TV coming out in 2 weeks. However, if I am reading and hearing everything correctly, the hardware is not changing, but only the firmware?
I am also assuming this since Apple continues to sell Apple TV, but simply lowered the price?
I guess I will wait for new hardware, but if its simply firmware, I might as well go get it tomorrow!
Thanks.

Well, the original AppleTV could only output up to 1080i, not 1080p.
Is the graphics chip capable, but just didn't have software support, or will new machine have enhanced though not radically different hardware?
I don't think we'll know until the software update is out so for the sake of 2 weeks I'd hang on.

Apple ][ Europlus hardware carde information needed

Hello,
Can somebody help me with these cards?
These are cards to plug into the Apple ][ Europlus;
_*The 80 Colums Card*_
This is a 80 Colums card. The only problem i have with this is how to connect the pins with the right connectors? At the pictures
I have there is a video input, video output and a switch to select 40 or 80 characters if you use Apple Pascal.
My problem is the following
the pictures are to unsharp to see wich cable is connected to wich pin on the card! So i'm afraid of experimenting with it.
Does somebody has a shematic or still knows how the cables are connected to the card?

_*The Serial Interface Card*_
This is a “Serial Interface Card” from Apple. Im almost sure i can use it as a printer interface card. But i don’t have a manual of it.
The internet wasn’t very usefull.
[IMG]http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/1097/serialinterfacecardoverry4.jpg[/IMG ]
_*The PAL Encoder card With the Super R Mod*_
This is a “Pal Encoder Card” also from Apple. That switches the video image from a computer screen to the European standard.
And the “Super R Mod” probably makes it compatible with TV screens or makes it a input signal?
My question is how do I connect it on my Apple 2, what cable goes where, and that little orange cable probably goes on my motherboard but where?
And is there a chance that you have a manual or know a site where there is one?

_*The unknow card*_
This card I didn’t find any information or reference on the internet.
Most of the chips are painted over, so I can’t read any information from the chips.
The card must be a kind of connector card for something else.
This is the only information that is on the card:

Horrible LAN pings on all Apple hardware

I've tried from every machine on the network and going to every machine and the LAN pings are all horrible. If time-machine is running it's even worse. I'm an experienced software engineer and have written a lot of network code, so I understand how an OS uses networks, but this kind of performance just blows my mind - I can't explain it. People seem to be "fixing it" by dumping Apple network hardware for far cheaper Linksys, D-link, etc. Is that the answer?
That's really sad if so. For what it cost me to have an all Apple infrastructure it should "just work".
Thanks,
Mike

So If I understand your network arrangement:
modem <--ethernet cable--> Airport (of some kind) <---wireless--> Airport Time Capsul <--ethernet--> BMP15.
or is it
modem <--ethernet cable--> Airport Time Capsul <--ethernet--> BMP15.
Also waht is the arragnement when you get the 50-60 ms?
is it modem <--ethernet cable--> BMP15?

Apple Hardware Test (Perform Extended Testing)

Hit the 'E' key to select Perform Extended Testing if you are unable to select it with a mouse.
I've been working on my wife's new iMac (I7 27") that she purchased a few months ago. Because it is so new, I wouldn't even waste my time on it and just sent it back to Apple to have them look at it (currently suffering slow startup times), however we recently moved overseas to Kyiv, Ukraine. During the troubleshooting, I found the following site:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
which informs users how to use Apple's Hardware test. Unfortunately, the app only recognized the wireless keyboard and not the wireless mouse. I didn't know who to contact to have the webpage updated because there is a way you can enable the extended hardware test from the keyboard (by hitting the 'E' key). Unfortunately, I had to figure this out on my own after exhaustive searching on the internet and websites. Hopefully, someone can pass this information along. I wish the app was more keyboard friendly.
I see some other posts that I haven't tried yet, so hopefully they might resolve me issue.
If I can't fix the problem, I'm going to have to see if there may be a rep in this country who to replace/fix the unit.

Yesterday I ran the Apple Hardware test ( Version 3A181 - Perform Extended Testing ) from my MacBook OS Install DVD and Everything passed 100% ( entire test took 57 minutes and 15 seconds )
Forgot to mention after the Apple Hardware test was finished No Problems Were Found...
This isn't making any sense to me - Any Suggestions to what the cause of these Safe Boots may be ?

I have a macbook 4.1 with osx10.6.8 and just added memory (2gig) so I could sync my new Ipome and Ipad. and Ipad. Now I'm told I need to upgrade my operating system. The apple store gave me conflicting instructions. Any suggestions? Thanks

I have a macbook 4.1 with osx10.6.8 and just added memory (2gig) so I could sync my new IPhone and Ipad. Now I'm told at the apple store that I need to upgrade my operationg system. They said they couldn't help and gave me conflicting advice about what to do. Any ideas? Thanks you!

There are three models of MacBook that comprise the 'macbook 4.1' category, and each of them a little different; however other than 'macbook 4.1' the other thing they have in common is they all are considered Early 2008. Two are white, one black, polycarbonate case, Core2Duo 2.1GHz, 2.4GHz white, 2.4GHz black.
So if you can determine which one, if any of these, is the model build year and spec you have, that would be handy. Did you tell whoever you spoke to the serial number of your computer, so they'd know by looking up the specs to see what the supported maximum RAM upgrade capacity was, and other minimum requirements to make any upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.8 at all?
If you have the serial number you can do a lookup to 'indentify by serial number' online, and use that information to determine if the computer needs even more RAM to take it past the minimum for Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then get it ready to upgrade (via paid download from App Store, Snow Leopard gets you that far) and see what the next supported OS X full upgrade would be for the hardware limitations on that old MacBook.
If your MacBook IS a 4.1 build, the highest OS X it could run if it has the 2.4GHz cpu, is Lion 10.7.5. That would be an upgrade from the App store, available to OS X 10.6.8+ computers that access it online. And I kind of doubt how supported a newest iphone etc may be in lion.
everymac.com has a fair amount of information across many years of Apple computing hardware...
Here's the three MacBooks that share the 4.1 designation; first shipped with as much as 1GB RAM upgrade and the other two only a 2GB RAM*, (one white/one black color) according to this information...
• MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.1 13" (White-08) 2.1 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8100)
• MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" (White-08) 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8300)
• MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" (Black-08) 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8300)
...as seen here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html
*But according to MacTracker (free: download database) http://mactracker.ca
these MacBooks can use more RAM in aftermarket specs as much as:
Maximum Memory
6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
To get more information use a service such as this...
•identify by serial number:
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
The Apple? store or whoever you talked, to may have been as accurate as they could be without further research. Could be you may have a newer or older MacBook, which would change whatever later OS X it could run past 10.6.8. And to go past Snow Leopard, you need to download the last bits for 10.6.x to be able to go and get any later upgrade. The ones that may let a newest iphone or ipad work with it, are past SL10.6.8
Anyway, as you further verify the model build year and configuration specifications, report back.
Good luck & happy computing!

Kernel Panic - Hardware or Software?

Kernel Panic - Hardware or software?
Mac Pro Early 2008. 2 x 2.8 Quad Core. 16 GB RAM. OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
This morning my Mac Pro Refused to start.
It goes into an endless cycle of the grey panel message "Your computer needs to restart etc. ...... " with each restart failing.
Here is what I have done and discovered so far:
1) Disconnected all peripherals and network and secondary monitor leaving only principle Apple monitor, Apple Keyboard and Apple mouse. No help - Problem remains.
2) Done a recovery start up and repaired disks and permissions (nothing significant found there). No help - problem remains.
3) I can do a safe boot and have tried rebooting from this. No help - problem remains.
However inspecting the system from Safe Boot starts to show some interesting things.
4) If I open Acitivity Monitor and look at RAM it is completely clogged with Page Ins (Over 14 GB of them). The Pie Chart is completely red. This would look like a RAM issue. There is almost 160 GB of free space on my startup disc and 16GB of RAM Installed.
5) "About this Mac" Memory tab correctly finds and identifies all the DIMMS and shows their size and slots correctly.
No. 4 would seem to indicate a memory problem but No 5 would seem to indicate that the DIMMS are functional and the system able to address them.
I have tried removing the DIMMs and trying them pair by pair and in various different combinations. No change. The system can consistently identify them and their slots but the Only Safe Boot works and the Page In log jam is always present.
I am mystified as whether I have a hardware or software problem here. If it is software then a full clean re-install followed by a time machine restore may solve things. What worries me is that if I have a hardware problem and attempt this I may end up with no OS as well.
Any suggestions for further analysis? Any wisdoms greater than mine can explain the significance of the Page ins? Should I try re-installlng first or is it time to visit the repair shop?
Any help welcome please.
David Mac

Sorry to be late responding. I have been unexpectedly bedridden since posting and only able to try your suggestion today.
Sadly I cannot get Apple's hardware test to run at all. Holding down the D key does nothing at all. Accessing the test by internet isn't going to work on a 2008 machine. Tried the original installation disc as suggested by apple. Doesn't work. Since Lion install I cannot start up from any disc pre Lion- it causes a black screen 'You need to restart ......".
So stymied for now.
Looks like I'll have to try ans see if a full clean re-install will work. If it doesn't then back to the shop.
I have the whole system fully backed up externally so nothing to lose in the long run. Just don't want more chaos than necessary ;o)
