For college should I get the new 2013 MBA in 128gb or 256gb ?

Real world MBA experience from current/former college students would be preferred. I plan having music, documents, textbooks, comicbooks, maybe videos, and Boot Camp.

If you're going to jack it up with music and videos, forget about the 128 GB version. That's what I have and I'm constantly looking for something to delete to make room on the SSD.
If you don't need to "carry" all your stuff when you leave the house, you can get by with storing what you don't need on the road on a external hard drive. However, access speed won't be anythink like the SSD.
My vote would be to go for the 256 GB drive. I'm going to get the 13" 256 GB unit. I've been using the 11" for about 18 months now and the screen is just too small to read comfortably, especially doing Excel. Yes, I can zoom in, but then the screen shot just doesn't show enough of the surrounding cells.

Suggestions for how I can get the new purchases currently trapped on my iPod transferred to iTunes?

I recently bought an iPod touch and had no trouble loading all the existing music I have in iTunes to my new iPod. The problem is that no matter what I try I cannot transfer purchases I made on the new iPod into iTunes. Every time I try, "Transfer Purchases" is greyed out. As a result the seven tracks that I bought on the iPod are trapped on the device. I can't get them into iTunes. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can get the seven new purchases currently trapped on my iPod transferred to iTunes?
I've tried suggestions from multiple support forums, and nothing has worked. Does anyone know why "Transfer Purchases" would be greyed out and how I can fix it so I can get the music purchases from the device to the computer. Before anyone asks, this has not happened with any other Apple device I have owned, including my iPhone 4 8GB, iPod Touch 2nd Gen 32GB, iPad 1st Gen 64GB, and iPad 2 64GB. Why is it suddenly happening now?
My new iPod is an iPod Touch 5th generation 64GB using iOS 7.1.2, and iTunes is version 11.
I've never had this problem before. It's driving me nuts. Any help is very much appreciated.

Does iTunes see the iPod?
Is the computer authorized for the account that purchased the items?

Should I get the new mac mini?

Hi all
I am confused and would appreciate some advice. My current mac mini which is a late 2006 model it has 1.83 Ghz Intel Core Duo 1GB mem and 80 GIG HD and super drive, running 10.56, and a usb external 250 GIG HD.
I have the option of buying the new mac mini the:
120GB Mac mini (MB463*/A) 320GB Mac mini (MB464*/A)
Processor 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
for an extra £169 which is $237.38 as I can sell my current mac mini for £305. I am wanting to know should I buy the new mac mini?
My needs for my mac mini is using Iworks, Safari, watching dvd's, listening to music and burning dvd's and music. I never really play any games at all.
I have apple care until March 2010 too. So I am just wondering if my current mac mini is going well for me. Shall i update for the extra features, or for my usage for what i use it for, my mac, shall i stay and just keep my current mac mini?
Thanks in advance

by saying "media library," I meant the space where you keep your media files. Often case, people including myself keep all media files (movies, musics, etc) on an external hard dives.
time machine is a good, but it's not mirroring. by mirroring, you your computer sees two identical drives as one drive (not combined capacity, but as if there was only one of them connected to the machine). The computer writes exact same files to both drives so if one drive physically fails, your media files are safe in the other drive.
anyway, mirroring is only one of the many solutions to protect your files, and there is no singe solution that works perfectly and completely fail safe.
so my point is, instead of upgrading you mini, spend cash on storage space and its protections like backup drive and/or UPS (google for "Uninterruptible Power Supply") and such.

Should i get the new macbook for university?

Hello,
i am looking for a suitable laptop for assignments and Uni workload.
is the new MacBook suitable for university life and worth it? I find it really easy to bring anywhere since it weights only 0.92 kg (2.03 pounds). Yet, I also find that the new MacBook is more to people who want their laptop to look as stylish as they can and not really suitable for students since the storage is inadequate and we have loads of assignments. I don't really know about gadgets, all I know is that I want a laptop that is easy to carry everywhere and has enough storage.
So, between the new MacBook and 13-inch macbook pro with retina display, which one is more suitable, and most importantly, worth for uni student?
Thank you!

512Gb of storage should be adequate. The issues with the Macbook vs the Retina Macbook Pro (aside from excessive cost) seem to be
1. Slower processor so cannot handle video editing and the like as well
2. Single USB-C port so you will need adapters for all types of output (VGA, HDMI, USB...)
3. Slightly smaller screen size
I am seriously considering it for travel due to the minimal size and weight. As for students ...

How do I get the new 2013 powershell snap-in

Is there a way to install just the powershell snap-in for exchange 2013. My group does end user support and needs the tools to create accounts and run our powershell scripts . we don't manage or maintain the server itself.
In the past we would get the exchange download and during install choose only the management tools which would install the snap-in along with the EMC.
I understand that the EMC is gone but i still need the snap in and the server install doesn't appear to be readily available for download. I was directed to
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44022
which I tried to install there was no option for only the management tools, Someone suggested trying an unattended install with the /roles:t option but that hit a lot of prerequisite problems including trying to update the domain itself.
All I need is the snap-in is there something I can use to install only that?

HI AD-Tester,
For managing and creating account you will need to create and grant admin/management roles to your group:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298183(v=exchg.150).aspx
Your group then log in to ECP (replacement for Management Console).Logging in to ECP doesnt require anything to be installed,just Internet Explorer or other browsers.
(Normally ECP link is: https://server.domain.local/ecp )
For running Exchange powershell,you can use windows powershell ISE then run this:
$secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString "EnterHighlySecurePasswordHere!!!!" -AsPlainText -Force
$mycreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("adm_yourusername", $secpasswd)
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://exchangeserver.domain.local/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos -Credential $mycreds
Import-PSSession $Session
You can either run this directly or open notepad,paste in the code and save it as .ps1 file.
Then run this file in Windows Powershell ISE.
You will now be able to execute exchange powershell commands.
I use this regularly and havent failed so far :)

SHOULD I GET THE NEW IPOD WITH ViDEO?

I was wondering if I should get a new iPod. Can you give me some help. I wanted to know the pro and cons.

I was wondering if I should get a new iPod. Can you
give me some help. I wanted to know the pro and cons.
It depends. Do you have an earlier version of iPod? If you do, and it still works well, then I would wait. The only reason I would recommend getting a new iPod is if you had an earlier iPod break; you have a low capacity mp3 player; you want to have a color screen. I recently had an unofrtunate event happen with a 6 gig mini iPod. I have done all I can to try and fix it, but to no avail. So, I ended up looking to buy another iPod. I did some research, and found that buying a new iPod was a good choice. I did think about the nano, but only one will hold the amount of songs I have. The one that does is the 8 gig black mini. However, it costs $249. I then noticed that the 30 gig video iPod also costs $249. Since I am was not worried about size, I purchased a 30 gig video iPod. I am glad I did. It is just a little bigger than my mini, but holds 5 times more music, and also videos, and has a color screen. The one thing I liked about the mini was that it had an aluminim housing. If you get a video iPod, be sure to get a good iSkin case for it to help keep it safe. After owning the 30 gig iPod for a while, I have really enjoyed it. I haven't had any issues with it at all.

Should I get the new iPod

I am an ipad 2 owner with an 8GB iPod touch 4th generation. I have seen the new iPod come out recently. With Christmas coming up I was pondering wether to get then new iPod ar the ipad mini. Any help would be appreciated...

Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one. Better off selling it yourself.

Should I get the new Airport Extreme?

I've got an Airport Extreme that is older, I think it was the first model after the old snow-globe styled ones. This one is a rectangular box in design, probably 4-5 years old.
We use one both at home, and another at our small business. At our business we have Time Warner Business Class Internet service, so the line comes out of the wall, plugs into the cable modem, then from there we have one line going out to the airport extreme to create our wireless signal.
I've read that this new Airport Extreme (6th Gen) is supposed to be much faster than its predecessors, but can my setup take advantage of that? Would I notice faster wireless with this unit, or is the limiting factor our basic Internet service or the cable modem?
A our business, we have the 10 down/2 uppackage and speed tests show that to be pretty much what we get. At home, speed tests usually clock in around 15-20 down and 1 up.
Staples has this on sale for $169. If buying it gives me faster wireless, then it's a good investment. If it just gives me a newer device with no performance improvements, there's no point in upgrading. I'd appreciate any insight on this, thanks.

The new AirPort Extreme 802.11"ac" will deliver faster wireless.....IF.....you also have new Mac 802.11"ac" laptops and desktops to take advantage of that speed.
If you don't, then things will be pretty much the same as they are now...with perhaps just a bit better wireless range with the new AirPort Extreme.
Your Internet connection speed will always be limited to the plan that you have with your provider. No router in the world will make your Internet connection go faster than your plan provides.
The additional speed comes in handy if you are transferring files from one computer to another computer on your "local" network, or copying files from a computer to a hard drive. In this case, the newer AirPort Extreme can allow this to happen in a third to half of the time that it now takes.
But.....as I mentioned above....802.11"ac" is a two way street. You have to have both an 802.11"ac" router.....and.....new 802.11"ac" laptops and computers to get this speed.

Should I get the new iPad in 32GB or 64GB?

I am looking to purchase the new iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G, which will be my first iPad/tablet. Currently I have a 16GB iPhone 4.
What I would be doing mostly is the reading of ebooks, syncing movies/TV shows and also my iTunes music library (which is about 20GB).
I am also interested in getting games like Infinity Blade 2, among other things. I understand that the retina display will cause most app developers to bloat up their apps for better graphics.
Would you suggest that I get the 32GB or the 64GB?

If you have 20 gig of music and you also want to put films and TV shows on it then you will probably need the 64 gig version - HD films can be quite large (I have a 50 minute HD documentary that is 1.4 gig), so if you want to have a number of films/TV shows on the iPad at the same time as your 20 gig music library then you will need the extra capacity. Also the capacity can't be increased once you've bought it, so if you buy a smaller size you may find that you need to keep copying things off and onto it (and it's always better to have too much space then too little).
eBooks tend to be relatively small (most of mine are less than 3 meg). Some games can be large (Infinity Blade 2 is listed as 940 meg in the store).

I want to buy a new laptop so my question is should i buy the new 2013 macbook air 13in or wait for the next model (june 2014) ?

This will be my first mac laptop, so my question if i am goin to miss a huge jump in the specifications for the next year release or not ?

We know there will eventually be a new MacBook Air (though the terms of use here prohibt speculation about it). We have no idea when it will come out or what it's specs will be. Retired Engineer's advice is exactly the same as mine. If you need a computer now, buy it. It is a powerful computer and except for the fact there's no 2TB SSD available (not that I could afford it if one existed) it could be my one and only computer. If you merely want a new computer, wait until you need one.

Should i get the new imac?

Hi,
I have an iMac G5 iSight(not the one with the intel chip). I have heard some great things about the intel chip imac, but i have also heard that it is not much different from the non intel chip imacs. If anyone here has had and iMac G5(non intel) and now has the intel one, could you please tell me if there is as much a difference in speed as apple says. Thanks.
Max

I suggest that you stick with the imac G5. The only reason that I bought the intel imac was that it was time for a new "home" computer and I knew I might as well buy into the latest technology. I'm very happy with it for movies, email, daily life. It's a great all- around computer and is stylish looking.
However, if you are into gaming, graphics, photography, etc., there is a problem. You'll have to wait for the software companys to release all of their Universal versions. I'm doing my graphics on a PC because all my apps run smoothly. In a year, I'll beef up the ram in my intel, install software that was meant to run on the intel, and use it for 3d work. I predict that you would not really notice a speed increase with the intel and would probably be frustrated with all the little quirks. Just my opinion.

I just bought the new late 2013 iMac. Can I get the new iWork for free?

I just bought a new late 2013 iMac. Can I get the new iWork for free? I updated it to Mavericks also. The Mac App store is showing $19.99 for each iWork component (Pages, Numbers, Keynote). I also bought the previous iWork version, if that matters. Free updates for iPhoto and iMovie seemed to show up with no problems. Maybe these are just glitches that will clear up in a couple of days?

Hi. If you want it to get updated, this should take care of it.
1. Uninstall iWork from your Mac.
2. Do a fresh install of iWork from DVD.
3. Install iWork update from Apple Downloads (direct link here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563)
4. Sign into the Mac App Store, and check for updates. It should now show up as a free update. You may have to give it a few minutes (i.e. 10-15 minutes).
I've been a Windows user for years, so I know all of the tricks by now. I had hoped I would not need this knowledge for a Mac, but oh well...
Good luck.
