For those who ordered from Crucial...

Does your memory actually look like the one on Crucial's website?
Or did they modify the memory heatspreader according to Apple's spec?

My DIMMs (including the heat spreader) look exactly like the ones from Apple. In fact the DIMM istelf is manufactured by the same company as the Apple DIMMs. The picture you posted may be the same but with my eyes its difficult to discern the dimensionality of the graphic.
Hope this helps.

Does Verizon have discounts for those who Switch from At&t?

My husband and I currently have AT&T and terrible service inside our home. We currently have iPhone 3gs' and want to get iPhone 5's. We only use cells, so we need a reliable network for our phones. I know Sprint offers discounts to people who "Switch to Sprint" and was wondering if Verizon did the same. We are almost out of contract with AT&T and would like to switch to Verizon since we've heard it has better coverage in our particular part of Las Vegas. In our current plan with AT&T, I have unlimited data and would have to give that up to switch. Also, I think we'd be paying about $10 more a month each with Verizon if we got iPhone 5's. I'm wondering if Verizon may also give discounts to people who are credit union members or Costco members or AAA Club members. I'm looking for a reason to switch now. Does anyone know if Verizon offers discounts like these? I can't seem to find a customer service email to ask since I'm not yet a customer. Thanks!

I don't think Verizon gives discount to switch. As far as your discount you get now you'd have to check with those companies themselves to see if they offer discounts with Verizon.
No unlimited data with Verizon.
You bill would be easy to figure out. 2 Iphone 5s would be $40 each "line access" or $80. Plus whatever "data" plan you chose. "Data" actually includes the unlimited minutes and unlimited texting.
1 GB $50
2 GB $60
4 GB $70
6 GB $80
8 GB $90
10 GB $100
Data is of course shared. You can actually get up to 20 GB a month if you need it. Just add $10 per 2 GB.
Then there is taxes and fees. For 2 phones should be around $15 or so.
Any discounts you do get come from the "data" part.

For those who ordered through ATT, what is the Esitmated shipping time?

How long?
Message was edited by: DrewQuinz

I ordered mine via AT&T's 800 sales number on Saturday the 3rd. The order was "approved" on the 6th, which is when I got the "Acknowledge Terms and Conditions" email. Last night, the order finally moved out of "Backorder" and has a shipping number. So this is shaping up to be about 10 days for me.
When I first asked the AT&T rep how long it will be he said "3-5 days" and I said "what are you, high, dude?" and he acknowledged, maybe 10, but that telephone sales go faster than online.
The downside to telesales is that you'll spend 30 minutes on the phone doing it.

Important News For Those Who Use Hulu And Other Flash Video Websites.

Adobe will release the next update to the Adobe Flash software in the next few weeks and that update will bring better GPU video decoding acceleration for Windows if you have recent graphics hardware from ATI, Nvidia, or Intel. This update is VERY important for those who use laptops which have less powerful processors and hardware than desktops usually do. In order to take advantage of this update when it comes out, you MUST have the latest graphics cards drivers for your hardware. ATI, Nvidia, and Intel will all be releasing new drivers specifically for the updated Flash software so keep an eye on the respective websites for your graphics hardware maker. Of those companies, only Intel and Nvidia have drivers available for testing at the moment, but ATI is not far behind.

You may be able to disable Flash entirely and just use HTML 5 video codecs to view the videos this is faster but you may lose access to some videos such as ones that have mandatory advertisements.

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

GB only exports to AIFF files, you need to make conversions in iTunes:

IPod Info for those who need it

Just thought I'd give some help to those who need it.
- For those who are having trouble with their ipods accepting some videos and not others, try shortening the names of the video files. As long as the video files are in the proper format, this should clear up that issue.
- For those who want to get the songs off of your ipod without having to worry about the iTunes one-way syncing issue the following programs will help you with that:
PodPlus
iPod Agent
- For those who are just curious, here are the size incriments for data:
Bit
Byte
Kilobyte
Megabyte
Gigabyte
Terabyte
Pentabyte
I've got the 5th gen iPod and after a little finessing, I think I've got it all pretty much figured out. So, if anyone has questions, gimme a shout. Or maybe you've got some cool ideas I can use!

What is an ideal average setting for my homemade iMovies?
Settings for your iMovie for what? If your are talking about conversion to an iPod compatible format, which format? Are you more concerned with quality or quantity?
First, what's the best, fastest and easiest way to convert these iMovies to the H.264 (is that done through iMovie or QT Pro or both) and what other settings (audio for one) should I be using besides the standard 30 fps ?
Your are using the same QT tools whether you convert directly from iMovie or indirectly via QT Pro using a reference file. (I.e., the only time you save is the time it takes to write the reference file itself.)
Define what you mean by best.
The "Movie to iPod (320x240)" option is the fastest in terms of programming your conversion but the slowest in terms of time it take for processing. The "Movie to MPEG4" option is slower/harder to program for a single pass H.264 encode, but takes half the time to process as the dedicated H.264 option. MPEG4 video options (single pass and 2-pass modes) are faster than H.264 codec. Audio options are the same for both H.264 and MPEG4 formats -- AAC LC. I personally would stick with the 44.1 kbps sampling rate and 128 kbps data rate for audio but you could take it up to 48 kbps at 160 kbps if you want. As to frame rate, I would stick with the current (original) setting of your source. 30 (29.97) fps provides the smoothest flow of motion. You could, of course, try 24 or even 15 fps in some cases to see if it is acceptable. Dropping below 12 fps would probably be unacceptable to most people. But you're the producer and director here, so you have to make up your own mind.

I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.

I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.

I foolishly downloaded OS8 on my iPhone 4S. It not only greyed out my wifi button making it impossiblr to use wifi, but bluetooth connection doesn't work either. I reset the phone to factory settings but that did nothing apart from loose all my photos and contacts. OS 8 was still on after too. Apple say it is a problem but the download only brought the fact the hardware was faulty to the fore, but not being under warranty , the repair would cost £166 that I would have to pay. Totally unacceptable. If the problem was known and they knew it would cause problems on older models, why have it bob up on iTUNES for download.
Don;t download it guys, APPLE aren't admitting culpability and it will cost you a fortune to put right!!

Some dvi questions for those who really know there stuff!

Hi all, haven't lurked these forums in a few weeks but just had a quick question for those who wanna build up some "points". I'm trying to connect my MBP 15" (1.83ghz) to my Dell LCD 26" T.V. via DVI. Anyhoo, the DVI port on an MBP is a DVI-I (Dual link 24 + 5 pin) fenmale port while my Dell LCD sports a DVI-D (Dual link 24 + 1 pin) female port. Anyhoo, I went to my local Circuit City store and picked up a 6.6ft DVI-D (Single link 18 + 1 pin) male cable to hook both devices up. Should this work? If those have no idea what I'm talking about, I've included a link with a picture of allt he different DVI ports:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Dvitypes.png/180px-Dvitypes.png
If I haven't explained myself well, please post and I'll do my best to clarify.

Am I missing something? Do you actually have a problem making this work? If the plugs you chose are mechanically compatible (and both are DVI D, dual-link), then there should not be a problem.
Ah. I see the concern. The extra four pins. I believe they make the connector able to supply hybrid DVI-A and DVI-D. The Mac output is hybrid so it can easily be adapted drive a VGA monitor, too.
I think you should be fine.
I have a ViewSonic 1600x1200 LCD monitor with a DVI (single) and it works superbly with the Mac.

For Those Who Can't Boot After Upgrading To 10.5.6

For Those Who Can't Boot After Upgrading To 10.5.6
(and i am one of those)
how is Apple supposed to make them able to install future fixes and updates
once they finally acknowledge and address this horrible bug?
will they send free bootable CDs with the updates to 10.5.6?

What "Boot ROM version" do you have (check in the system profiler under "Hardware")? If it's not MBP31.0070.B07 or MBP21.00A5.B08, then you will need to update your MacBook Pro's firmware. To do this, you might need to connect an external display and mouse/keyboard, and then run the computer with the lid closed to bypass the laptop's monitor. Then apply the firmware patch and reboot the system. This might also be doable via "Screen Sharing" if you have that enabled and have another mac handy.
The firmware update is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/macbookproefifirmw areupdate151.html

Future Music good for those who have not yet learned all

Future Music Magazine, which I get on the magazine rack at my WalMart, has some good stuff in November-December issues for those who need to learn more. I am talking about a two-part article, "The A to Z of digital music". or something like that. A through M is covered in the November issue. N through Z is planned for December. Topics A-Z are explained in a paragraph or more. EQ is covered for example. November also has a tutorial sort of thing on Reverb.
Future Music has not always been so helpful. I did not find much in the October issue akin to what I have mentioned above.
I think these two issues of Future Music will be quite helpful to me and perhaps to others among us also.

Correction. Various topics, beginning with A through Z, are EACH explained in a paragraph or more. Sometimes there is a little essay on a topic. Good for newbies and sometimes good for non-newbies who must do not know it all yet.

User Exit or BADI for Blocking process orders from R/3 to APO?

Dear Experts,
I am looking for a user exit or badi to block the process orders from R/3 to APO. As per standard it is not transferring orders which are clsd(closed status). Means that it is not updating live cache but its reading from R3.
We are facing some problems in cif queues which are not correctly maintained in R3 side. We dont want to touch those orders bcoz its very old data which is not required for planning.
There will be huge data which needs to be deleted while transferring through cif.
Please give any user exit (outbound intial transfer) from R/3.
Or any sugg. I apprecite your inputs...
Thanks
Cris

Hi Cris,
You can use user exit APOCF004 - Inbound Processing: Production Order/Planned Order in APO to prevent orders coming to APO by deleting orders which are not intended to goto APO from internal tables IT_ORD and IT_OUT.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Suspension policy for those who serve

I am writing to request? suggest? inquire? about the possibility of allowing Peace Corps volunteers who leave the USA for long periods of time, making a 27 month commitment to live in remote places in the world serving missions for the US government access to suspension policies similar to those serving in the military. My son has left on his Peace Corps assignment. During his training and orientation period of 6 months he cannot leave the country, so definately won't be using his phone then. For the following 21 months he will have very brief occasional visits home. According to my understanding, he can only suspend service for 6 months a year at a cost of 30.00 and then must pay his access charge for 6 months a year. So while he is serving in the Peace Corps on a subsistence stipend, he will have to pay for service he won't be using.

You should call into CS and explain the situation and see if an exception to the standard suspension policy is made for Peace Corps volunteers. If there is no such exception, then you should compare the cost of paying the ETF and activating your son's phone on a prepaid account just for us when he is in the States will make more sense than paying for service during the time he is overseas. You can save his number by porting it to a prepaid provider of your choice (including Verizon), and the porting process will automatically cancel his account.
Verizon has recently modified their policy, and they no longer waive the ETF for people who move to an area with no coverage (whether that is domestic or overseas), so you may not have a lot of luck. The good news is that if he pays the ETF, he will be eligible for a new subsdized phone when he returns from his service if he wants to sign another 1 or 2 year contract with Verizon.

To all who ordered from att, and not getting emails, sold out.

ok so i ordered my iphone 4 from att.com at approx 630 this morning..i used my visa debit card...there was a $1 hold on it followed shortly by the cost of the phone for me which was $422 after taxes since i wasnt eligable for the the early upgrade..well i have a order number and it shows up on the order details and everything but i never recieved a email confirmation like others mentioned they havnt recieved..i called att and told them what was going on and the customer service rep, who was the most helpful rep i have ever delt with in all honesty, said that the order was processed and that my order should be on time..she told me that their servers or what not are backed up and it might take a while to get the confirmation email and not to worry everything was ordered fine. she also confirmed the "rumor" about att being sold out of pre orders..she told me that anyone who ordered their phone after 430 eastern time would not recieve their iphone 4 on time, and would recieve it after june 25...
glad waiting up was worth it for me at least...just thought i would let you all know what i was told

I received my order confirmation email around 5:13 AM EST this morning from AT&T. Unfortunately, I entered my PIN incorrectly to transfer/port my VW number. I was told by an AT&T representative around 10:30 AM that my order would not be processed until the PIN was resubmitted correctly. My port status was finally confirmed around 2:30 PM. As of now my order status is "in progress" with all "quantity ordered"s. I'll have to call in and confirm that my order will be delivered on the 24th!
