Does anyone know of a status update to the GPU-related freezes recently reported by MBP users?

I read up on it here and didn't know whether or not anyone was still experiencing the issue or if apple has fixed it. I have only the best intentions with this post -- I plan on getting a MacBook Pro for college here but after reading this, I'm not sure it's the best idea since I plan on using graphics intensive applications like finalcut studio pro unless the issue is resolved.
Thanks

I purchased a Macbook Pro 17, full spec with Lion installed two days ago and am getting occaional freezes. When the graphics card switch between internal and dedicated is when the problem happens. After you do something that is graphics intensive and then try and open an app or close a program the computer freezes. gfxcardstatus app helps in that when you select either dedicated or internal grpahics only and disable the dymanic switching the problem goes away, so not the problem does not seem to have been solved. I am in contact with apple and if in the next few days they can not offer a fix the laptop will be returned and a new Alienware will be on the way. I am really disapointed as I expected so much from this machine in terms of reliability and stability, something that does not come with MS Windows.

HT4623 I have the original iPad and I don't have an option in Settings, General for Software Upates. The App Store only has a Spanish version. Does anyone know how I can update to iOS 5?

I have the original iPad and I don't have an option in Settings, General for Software Upates. The App Store only has a Spanish version. Does anyone know how I can update to iOS 5?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

In regards to the iPhone being officially unlocked by ATT thru Apple?
No.
A problem arises when installing an iOS update on an iPhone that was hacked to be unlocked.

I had to manually download the new version of itunes.. via tools, it gave me 4 items to download and i did not download all 4 compenants. Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that contains tools so i can redownlaod all of them.

I lost my old iphone and have a new 5s.. i need to sync to itunes. i had to donwload manually via tools but i didnt download all four files. now when i plug my phone into itunes it says there is an error bc i didnt download all the files. so when i go into itunes now and check for updates it says its up to date. the problem is with the phone support file i didnt download.
Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that has the music player update and itunes update bc this is the only place i have seen "tools" to be able to manually update all four files....
***IF i completely uninstall itunes and reinstall will it still have all my songs, photos, apps etc... bc i need to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back

this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
i have done this twice in two other posts..
here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

I am a residential appraiser and recently purchased an ipad 4 to use for my home inspections. Some homes are foreclosed poperties without power and I am unable to get a good interior picture without a flash. Does anyone know of a flash attachment for the ipad 4? I found a flash attachment for the ipad 2, but it does not work with the ipad 4.

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago. I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all. I can go weeks between syncs.
Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist. Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one.
Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff). Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for. It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

Does anyone know how to display (in LabVIEW) the memory use during execution of an image and data acquisition VI to predict when it is time to cease the acquisition to prevent the program crashing?

Does anyone know how to display (in LabVIEW) the memory use during execution of an image and data acquisition VI to predict when it is time to cease the acquisition to prevent the program crashing?
I am acquiring images and data to a buffer on the edge of the while loop, and am finding that the crashing of the program is unpredictable, but almost always due to a memory saturation when the buffers gets too big.
I have attached the VI.
Thanks for the help

The user acct my apple was connected to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that account and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user?

The user profile my appleTV was synced on my computer to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that profile and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user (same computer)? I created a new user on my computer and moved the itunes folder to the desktop but never changed the path to which the apple synced to. Now I can only see old items I purchased before the user profile went bad. PLease help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Changing the library the Apple TV is synced with will delete all synced content from the Apple TV, but it won't delete purchased content.
You should be able to change the library, resync any content you want and transfer your purchases back to the new library.

What are you doing BEFORE the pages start deleting?

Pages 5 now uses the system-level auto-correction in System Preferences > Keyboard > Text. Unfortunately, a lot of the options available in previous versions of Pages no longer exist.
Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu. Also leave feedback for Mavericks.

Does anyone know how to set alerts in the iCloud calendar of Outlook 2010 for PC?

Does anyone know how to set alerts in the iCloud calendar on Microsoft Outlook 2010 for a PC? Outlook gives me a warning message and does not allow me to save alerts for calendar events created in iCloud calendar. It will allow me to save events in the non-iCloud calendars.

Ignore what office says, when the warning comes up saying that the reminder will not work click on yes,
I just tested it and i had the reminder on my ihpone in outlook and also as i had the calendar open in safari it popped up on there too ( I wasn't aware it did that)

Does anyone know whether Numbers will work on the MabBook Air?, Does anyone know whether Numbers will work on the MabBook Air?

Does anyone know if Numbers will work on the MacBook Air?

If you just downloaded "free" Numbers then yes you have the current version that runs on OS X v9.x
If you need a Mac data processor (not specifically Numbers) then Open Office.org, Neo Office.org both have spread sheet (aka "number like) apps included with them. They also are free.

Yes, but it is absolutely critical to delete all existing preferences after upgrading to 10.9.
I'm running PSE 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 in 10.9. PSE 11 has a slight problem (with a couple of filters) but otherwise it all works.

I am aware that the iPod Touch 5g has no official date yet, on the site it only says: Available to ship: October. But, does anyone know what a possible, date for the iPod to be released? :)

Well, I recently checked apple.com, and the "pre-order" button has been replaced with the "buy now" button. This is a very good sign that the iPods will begin to ship soon! There is still no exact date, but I expect that they will ship within the next 3 days. You should get an email when they have shipped.
Take care!
