I purchased "Absolute Beginner's Guide to iPod and iTunes by Brad Miser. Pretty good overview. B&N price $21.99
One problem though.... initially had a problem when the ipod sync'd my 1880 photos. Couldn't find the answer on how to eliminate them in this book. (found the info on this site).

I'm in the market for a laptop. Which of Apple's laptops will I best connect 2 external monitors/displays?

I'm in the market for a laptop. Which of Apple's laptops will I best connect 2 external monitors/displays?

I've just bought a Pro Retina. As far as I know this is the only one which will connect 2 external monitors running different programmes ie not cloned.
You use the 2 thunderbolt ports for the DVIs (if they're not Apple monitors)
You need 2 thunderbolt to DVIs. MiniDisplay port to DVI might work too (MIGHT WORK! Not sure yet) and these are a lot cheaper.

I am in the market for a new HP Laptop.

I am in the market for a new HP Laptop seeing as how my current one is starting to die out on me. I am looking for one that would last me at least 3 or more years like my current has and i kinda have one i like in mind at this link:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/envy-17-3-laptop-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/9769246.p?id=1219041359741&sk...
So my my main question is going to be this: Does Best buy match prices or beat them out if i find the same model cheaper and with a mail in rebate on another retailer's website such as office depot?
I am doing price comparisons right now, because i don't know how long my current HP Pavillion Entertainment PC will hold out. I have had it for 3 years and now my on board graphics chipset or the LCD Monitor one are starting to mess up on me and i had to replace the fan and battery almost 2 or 3 months ago and now this issue is popping up. It boots up with a green screen when i turn it on at the moment, but then after it has warmed up the screen clears back up like normal. So that is why i figured that it is about time for a newer model laptop and where my researching and price comparing will come in down the line.
If you have any other laptop suggestions for me to at least look at please tell me. I want at least 750 GB or 1 TB HDD and an Intel Core i5 or I7 Processor in these suggestions too, because i do heavy duty Video Editing and Processing for my website and for Video Game Video Walkthroughs and need not only the best Processor it can handle, but for website backups and for the space doing Webcam video recordings can handle too.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have and if the current one i have linked is worth my time in saving for please be so kind as if to let me know that as well. I don't care if it has a Touch Screen or not. But any suggestion for research is always welcome.

The RAM of my HP Pavillion Dv4-2164us model is currently 4, but it is starting to boot up with a green screen when I first start it. So I am thinking about going with the J020 Envy which is a 17 Screen display or I might go for this:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/envy-touchsmart-17-3-touch-screen-laptop-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/18203... if I go 4th gen Intel Core i7 Processor and Touch Screen
The next thing after I save up after getting whatever next Laptop I buy will be a Cooling Pad and an External HDD that I can put into one of the USB Ports or where ever you hook them up so that I can backup it up for a rainy day as they say.
The only reason why I am not opting for the becoming popular SSD is the Price tag to get the amount of space I would need is still out of my price range if I got one included. I have to be realistic and on budget as much as I don't want to be.
If I went 4th gen I5 I might get something like this:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/envy-17-3-laptop-8gb-memory-750gb-hard-drive/2354033.p?id=1219072210771&...
I would have shown a 15 screen laptop, but the CD/DVD Combo drive is not included in any of them. I would need one to back up my new laptop's OS and files the first week I use it to save from having to reformat or reinstall stuff if things even got messed up.
I have been thinking a lot about all of this not like it was a just now knowing this type of thing either. I have known for some time about that. Thanks for trying to help too.

I'm in the market for the new Mac Pro.

I'm in the market for the new Mac Pro. I've been waiting for it to be released and have some cash set aside for this. I am a video editor and use Premiere Pro CC, and After Effects. My primary content is simple documentary films - so nothing too intense, but always HD (1080) video. I don't see 4k in my future but it's always a possibility so I want to future-proof my purchase for the next 3 years or so. With respect to storage space and RAM, I can make that decision myself based mostly on cashflow (since they are likely both user-expandable). However, with the basic configuration of the number of cores and video graphics card, I could use some advice. I think they are both set for the life of the computer, so important to get it right.
My current thinking is to start with the 6 core model (I guess I have no real reason for this decision, except that I feel like the 4-core base model is put there to make the price feel lower, while the real advantages in performance start at the 6 core - am I way off on this one?). But, I wonder if I should spring for the 8 core or even the 12 core? Probably overkill for me - out of my budget anyway.
The other decision is the graphics card - is the D500 enough? Will it be limiting factor in the future? Or should I move to D700?
Here are the cost differences:
from 6 core to 8 core is $1500
from D500 to D700 is $600
Which is worth it? (neither, both?)
Thanks.

Whether it's worth it depends more on you and what your current and future needs are.
The good news is that Adobe's CC apps can already take advantage of the AMD FirePro GPU's in the Mac Pro, and offer hardware acceleration of the Mercury Playback Engine, which you'll see in Premiere, After Effects, and Media Encoder. According to the Adobe staffers I've talked to, even the FirePro D300's will see a big benefit, in fact they say you won't see a big bump by upgrading the GPU. As far as Adobe's apps are concerned, their OpenCL use is all single precision, and the D500/D700 upgrades put a lot of weight in double precision performance (which is unused in their apps). Their recommendation - put the bulk of your budget on cores and RAM.
How many depends on how elaborate and complex your work is. Simple documentary films with the odd effects, transitions, titles, and grading.. you'd be fine with a 6-core IMO. If you're leaning towards getting into really layered comps and effects, you'd shorten those long render times down a lot with the 8-core. As for memory, I'd recommend at least 4GB per physical core.
Good luck!

In the market for a MBA 13" and cant decide between 128gb vs 256gb. Help please?

I am in the market for a MBA 13" and cant decide between the 128gb vs 256gb. I will be finishing up grad school within the year and plan on purchasing an iMac to use as the main computer. I would be using the MBA for internet access, some word docs, viewing pdf files, etc. Nothing really heavy, no video/sound editing, or photography type funtions. I would however like to mess with the garage band program but am new to apple and dont have any experience with it. Itunes library is currently about 600 songs and very few pics. I was originally planning on the macbook pro 13" until I talked to a sales person at the apple store who introduced me to the idea of a MBA. I really like the price point of the 128gb vs 256gb but just want to make sure that I am being realistic with size. Help please?

I've worked part time for an Apple reseller for a very long time and sold a lot of low end computers to people who thought they were going to use the computer for just email and surfing, maybe writing the Christmas letter. It didn't take me long to realize that a lot of those customers were coming back within a year or 18 months to upgrade their computer or replace it with a more powerful one.
Based on this experience, I try very hard not to let someone walk out of the store with the low end MBA if that's the only computer in the household. It can't be upgraded. Since the 2011 MBA shipped I've seen another trend developing - it has happened in my own household, with a lot of the people I work with, and customers too. Despite having another computer, even one that in terms of specs is more powerful than the MBA, a lot of people have turned their MBA into their main computer. With that in mind, the 128GB drive really is the bare minimum and it will be costly to upgrade - not to mention voiding the warranty.

In the market for a new laptop..

Hi everyone,
i am currently in the market for a new laptop and seeking some advice.
I am debating between getting a basic rMBR 15' 2.4 GhZ 8/256 model and MBR 2.3 GhZ 4/500. The price for the basic rMBR 15' 2.4 GhZ 8/256 model is 1,867 euros with Apple's friends and family discount i am getting (stock price is 2250 euros here in Ireland). MBR 15' 2.3 GhZ 4/500 starts at 1850 euros and i am not getting friends and family discount off that (don't want to go into details). In any case this isn’t the sort of cash I have lying around.
Apple’s rMBP is a wonder of modern engineering, there is no doubt about that. What i am concerned about is all the software that has to update to add higher res images which takes time and a lot more space because they are effectively doubling the size of the image and my general browsing experience where buttons, logos and anything affected by Photoshop’s “Save for the Web” setting will look blurry or pixelated. This is certainly not the kind of experience I am looking forward to after spending 2k on a laptop.
I'm not a heavy user also I like to take my stuff around with me and I do a little Pro Tools and Logic once in a while.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

What you were told is not correct. Apple doesn't care where your music originated and nothing will be "blocked", but you can only sync your iPhone to one device at a time.
When you first connect your iPhone to a different Mac or PC, you will see a dialog similar to the following (substitute iPhone for iPad - the result is the same):
It will do exactly what it says. If you "Erase and Sync" the iPhone will be erased first. So, make sure whatever music you have on the iPhone is stored someplace else first. Transfer that music to your new Mac's iTunes Library, and then sync your iPhone to it. You will lose nothing that way.

Different mapping tools in the market -- For BPM mapping in XI

Hi All
     I am more intersted in learning the BPM mapping tools(3rd party or any)
     Can any list out the different tools and which are the best ?
     Our company looking forward to implement XI (BPM's) with mapping tools
    Can any help me on this
Regards
Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,
plz have a look to <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm">SAP Library: SAP Exchange Infrastructure</a> for understanding XI, BPM and Mappings.
BPM has no special mapping tool. You can use Java, ABAP, XSLT and graphical Mapping (Message Mapping) at XI, for any case - BPM or not. 3rd Party has nothing to do with BPM or Mapping. That means a non SAP system.
Regards,
Udo

IPhone's Best "Case" Scenario (The quest for protection)

Many of us are trying to find that best case, so I thought this follow-up would be helpful.
I have owned the iSkin Revo case for iPhone for nearly 2 months (http://www.iskin.com/). Basically, the case has really worked great for me. It has 3 parts, the case, a non-glare/privacy film screen cover and a plastic screen protector that snaps on the front of the phone to protect it from heavier impacts.
- The case has really held up great and protected the phone well. It has stayed true to form and has not become stretched out. Unlike some other cases, dust and other particles have NOT scratched the bezel. I've dropped the phone only a couple times--once face down on my coffee table--and the sides of the case helped prevent the thing we worry about doing most: cracking the glass.
- I hesitated using the anti-glare film, but have gotten used to it and feel the minimal loss of resolution is worth the extra protection to the glass. I'm probably going to pull the film later this month and see what I like better.
- The plastic cover, while a great idea, is not really practical for me. Yes, it snaps off and can be placed on the back securely, but I end up leaving it behind. It's really just added bulk.
I'd like to read some follow-ups on some of the other cases people have purchased. Let's start a fresh thread with people's experiences. The ones I read here really helped me. Thanks for posting!

I had one of the Incase rubber cases and stopped using it because of all the crud that would find its way into the case, and my iPhone is now a bit scuffed up because of it after only a couple of weeks.
I no longer use a case for it anymore. I think a large part of what makes the iPhone so great is how sleak and clean looking it is. I have it in my pocket most of the time, and make an effort not to put my keys or anything else in that particular pocket.
I do use the Incase Leather Folio clipped to my belt while I am at work to protect it from getting smashed in my pocket (part of my job is bumping into a lot of things, and leaning in ways that I worry would cause undue pressure on the phone).
I'm not a fan of any phone being worn on a belt, people act like its a fashion accessory. But while at work it is a practical way to keep my phone on me. I can't leave it in my car because it gets way too hot during the summer.
Outside of work however, I like my sleek, attractive, case-less iPhone.

In the market for a new computer would love some feedback

Ok so I have a dilemma,
First problem is I can't decide between a laptop and a desktop if I went the laptop route I would go with the Asus N53qm
Asus N53 Specs
Its got i7 720qm, some sites have it with 740qm, ddr3 memory, 425m cuda video card,
Id upgrade the ram to at least 8gb or ram maybe upgrade more down the road.... Id be editing video off esata or usb 3.0
I see the advantage of having a laptop being able to work on the road, taking it to my bed....
Id plug it into an external monitor/mouse, keyboard when at my desk.
My other option I would be a desktop
Specs would be,
x58 motherboard, havnt decided which one yet, theres a lot that seem to all have the same features, eg. msi, asus, gigabyte.
Again ddr3 memory I notices 2000 was not much more than 1333, so yea as much ram as I want down the road....
GTX 470
850 watt corsair
Intel Core i7 950
Thermaltake A60 Case
Again most of my projects would most likely be through esata or usb 3.0 not sure which is better...
Oh and I would be editing HD Video from a flash based camcorder, Cannon HSF 10 to be specific, so its .mts avchd
Anyways, how much of a performance increase would I get from the desktop over the laptop?
I notice a lot of people overclock, is that really necessary, isnt an i7 pretty fast stock?
Thanks and please let me know your thoughts, advice changes to my specs...

Would love some feedack from the experts on this config available at Tiger direct for about $1,000
My Goal: to edit AVCHD footage using CS5....looking at the specs below specifically the processor, the video card and the RAM..what do you think?
( I currently have CS3 on an HP Quad Core 2.4Ghz w/ 8GB RAM which is great for SD, but I realize that when upgrading to CS5 and editing my Sony HDR-500v AVCHD footage I'l need much more power) Thanks!!

In the market for a new phone

A strange topic you may think however, I'm still a pretty new mac user and want to know which phone to buy that has good compatability with my shiny MBP. IE will send texts from address book because I know the posh nokia with no keyboard doesn't. So if people would reveal what mobiles they've got and how they use them with their macs I'd be super greatful.

Hi Mcornes,
I am waiting for Sony Ericsson to release the K610i. I prefer Sony Ericsson phones because they are usually well integrated with iSync, with all the features available.
http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=gb&lc=en&ver=4000&template=pp1loader&php=php110389&zone=pp&lm=pp1&pid=10389
Now I am using an old T610, but still syncs wonderfully with my Mac.
I can't wait for the new model K610i!

Why cant apple remove their java and adobe restictions if they did that it would be the best phone on the market!!!!!

why cant they make every site viewable.. if they would just get over themselves restricting the phones from certain sites.

Apple earns the overwhelming majority of their profit - far and away from the sale of their hardware - computers, iPods, iPads, and iPhones. Not from the sale of software and certainly not from iTunes store sales. The iTunes store is set up as a break even for Apple with this included with their financial reporting.
You are right about Apple not wanting to depend on a 3rd party for playing video via the internet, and anyone with a clue wouldn't want that either.
http://daringfireball.net/2010/01/apple_adobe_flash
"To my knowledge, Apple controls the entire source code to the iPhone OS. That’s not to say they wrote the whole thing from scratch. Many low-level OS components are open source. But they have the source. If there’s a bug, they can fix it. If something is slow, they can optimize or re-write it. That is not true for Mac OS X, and Flash is a prime example. The single leading source of application crashes on Mac OS X is a component that Apple can’t fix."
That would be Flash.
"This is why Apple wants to control the source code to the entire OS. If they want to go 64-bit with iPhone OS, it’s entirely in Apple’s own control to do so. And what happens if Apple goes to a new CPU architecture? For the components Apple controls the source code to, they can recompile for the new architecture. If the entire system doesn’t recompile cleanly for the new architecture, they can work on it until it does. For a component like Flash, where Adobe controls the source code, Apple instead has to wait."
"Which situation do you think Apple is happier with? Mac OS X, where they had to create a new web content plugin architecture because Flash crashes frequently and isn’t 64-bit? Or iPhone OS, where they control the source code to every single component, and can do whatever they want, when they want?"
"Apple isn’t trying to replace Flash with its own proprietary thing. They’re replacing it with H.264 and HTML5. This is good for everyone but Adobe."
"And yes, I know Flash does much more than just play video. But that’s the main thing everyone is talking about when they talk about Flash not working on the iPhone — video. And when you talk about other uses for Flash, you’re talking about serving as a software runtime, and whether you like it or not, Apple has a clearly stated opposition to third-party software runtimes for iPhone OS, and that policy seems to be working out pretty well for them."

What's the best forum in the UK for Sun ONE UDS

Does anyone know of a user group that meets regularly to discuss SUN ONE UDS ?in the UK ?

All printer manufacturer's play "catch-up" with OS revisions. If a printer doesn't work immediately with the latest OS, you should check the manufacturer's website. Here's a laugh: I purchased an Epson EPL-5700i monochrome laser printer a dozen years ago, for "only" $500. With all of the changes in Macs and the OS, I've never been not able to use the printer. Either Apple or the vendor has made printer driver software available seamlessly.

In the market for a 15in i5 MacBook Pro but whats up with all th problems?

I'm reading the board and it's making me not want to buy with all these issues on here.

It's worth noting that these Forums are mostly inhabited by people experiencing some sort of issue and are not at all representative of the wider community, many of whom are probably delighted with their purchase and not having any issues at all - i.e. this view is distorted.
That's not to say some hardware and software problems don't happen from time to time but usually Apple move quickly to fix/replace dodgy hardware and release firmware and software updates as needed.
All Apple hardware comes with a 1 year warranty so if you purchase and there's anything wrong you don't have to be concerned about it being fixed or replaced free of charge. You can also extend your AppleCare for an extra two years if you feel this is worth it.
