Great Feedback for the G5 iMac and Apple

My father recently went with a group of people to the Rotary Centennial Conference in Chicargo, and us being from New Zealand this was quite a major trip for their club. About 10 of them went and all took their own photos, but when they got back a they wanted to combine a selection of their own photos and other peoples and all talk about different aspects of the trip at a special meeting the had with all the members of the club.
You might be wondering were the iMac comes in, well the were all PC users and not very good with them anyway so my dad rang me up and asked if I could come and help them. So I thought this would be a great opportunity to show a bunch of rich people frustrated with the PC how great an Apple is. So I picked up my G5 iMac with just the mouse and keyboard and headed round there.
Well it would be an understatement to say that they were amazed with not only the computer but how easily I imported all the photos into iPhoto then gave everyone there own album so they could just drag the photos they wanted into it then order them, plus just setup a basic automator workflow which instantly put all the photos in order into a PowerPoint Presentation.
Well down Apple! I had at every amazed with your technology!

I think you'll find the new software is now
available, iFelix - The Elgato site -
http://www.elgato.com/ - now lists EyeTV 2 as
compatible with Intel chipped Macs in the system
requirements.
Should have said "doesn't work as it should"
Certainly the eyeTV 1.x software doesn't work and there are issues with eyeTV 2.
Though eyeTV 2's system requirements say Intel it is not a universal application and there are issues.

[EyeTV 2] When will EyeTV be updated for Intel Macs?
Ever since Apple released the Intel Mac development platform in 2005, Elgato has been porting the EyeTV software over to the new processor and system. It uses so much of the PowerPC platform to get the best performance (like AltiVec instructions), that the transition was far from trivial.
EyeTV has some issues with the Rosetta emulation environment, but will run smoothly once the entire application is a Universal Binary. We are in the final stages of this process and are working on the final tweaks so that EyeTV 2 software will be as perfect as possible for all new Intel Macs.
Thus, the free update for Intel Mac support will soon come to all current and future EyeTV 2 software users, via the normal downloadable update. No hardware update is needed, just the new EyeTV 2 software update coming soon.

  • For the football fans and apple slider

    Hello,
    I updated DG Tournament (http://www.dgtournament.com) with the Euro 2008 fixtures. You can follow the tournament in an Apex app and bet on the games for free... ;-)
    (You can even win a Price! - see Bet Rank tab)
    I created DG Tournament in 2006 to show APEX can be fun and also as a "showcase" application. At that time APEX was still (2.0/) 2.2, so don't expect for ex. Interactive reports yet, but it's still pretty cool, even for an older site. I wanted to include one new thing and chose to include a jquery feature. I changed the home page to include the "Apple slider". If you hover the mouse over "Euro 2008 News" or "Video of the day" you'll see it slides.
    If you think of other cool features to include, feel free to suggest.
    (in the shoutbox you'll see some other features of that time like Google suggest and Highslide on the pictures)
    Just for fun and to promote the tool we all love ...
    Regards,

    Hi Tony,
    Nice you like it.
    About the Apple Slider: in jquery it's called accordion. The integration is like any other javascript. A great example you find on the jquery website http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Accordion
    You can also have a look at my source code as I left it directly in the page.

  • A great idea for the Live Chat and Website!

    My idea is -
    Invest some time to educate the BT.com website staff to type the correct information on the website or take a lesson on the 'BT Data Protection Policy'.
    I just wasted 30 minutes of life beacuse of total **bleep** up.
    The BT website states this:
    You can chat to one of our advisors who will let you know your account number online.
    At this address:  https://www.bt.com/appsyouraccount/secure/ebilling​.do# 
    But this is the conversation you get after wasting 30 minutes of your time:
    Vaseem : Hello. I'm Vaseem . Thanks for that information, I'll check it and get back to you in a moment.
     Vaseem : Hello David
     David xxxx: Hi Vaseem
     Vaseem : I understand that you wish to get your BT account number is that correct?
     David xxxx: yes please and clarify when my appointment is for BT broadband
     Vaseem : Not to worry , I am here to help you.
     David xxxx: thx
     Vaseem : Could you please confirm your address with post code and telephone number.
     David xxxx: xxxx
     Vaseem : Thank you. Please give me a minute, while I check the details for you.
     Vaseem : I am afraid that we are not supposed to give the BT account number over the phone/e-mail or chat due to data protection policy. However, I will arrange a copy of bill with free of charge to your billing address where you can find your account number.Is that fine for you David?
     David xxxx: The BT website brought me here????? -
    "Chat to an advisor: You can chat to one of our advisors who will let you know your account number online." https://www.bt.com/appsyouraccount/secure/ebilling​.do# 
     Vaseem : I am sorry David, according to BT policy we will not be able to give the account number, if you want me to arrange a copy I will do for you David.
     David xxxx: Can you please explain why the BT website says you can?
     David xxxx: "You can chat to one of our advisors who will let you know your account number online."
     Vaseem : I am really sorry for that David on Behalf of BT. If you want me to help with your order I will do for you.
     David xxxx: Please can you answer my original question: when is my appointment to fit my broadband?
     David xxxx: ?????
     Vaseem : Let me check please?
     Vaseem : I have checked your order details and can confirm that engineer's visit will be on 18/11/11.
     David xxxx: is there a time?
     Vaseem : Yes David, it will be at 8:00AM.
     David xxxx: well thanks Vaseem. You now need to go tell your manager that your website is leading people to you to get their account number which is directly contradicting your 'BT Policy'
     Vaseem : I agree with you David, this is completely misleading as we on chat are strictly not authorised to provide account numbers. We are allowed to provide the account number only via a method of sending you a copy bill therefore the link guides you to us.
     Vaseem : I have let my manager know about this and we will write to the bt.com team to get this fixed for you.
    To top it off I cant even find where to complain by email. I have to either phone or write a letter. 
    THANK YOU BT - lets see how long this post stays online for - this will probably be ignored anyway.
    Oh and here's a screen shot incase you NEED proof this actually happened.

    How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    thank you, I have the adaptors so glad that would work.  I just heard adaptors burn out often.  So Just thought for my main iMac computer, a plug would be best.  I will get one once I move.
    Any other suggestions or things I should know about apple products in Ireland.  I know there are no Apple stores there.
    An adaptor doesn't burn out. It merely serves as a means to connect the power prongs on your device to the power supply.
    I believe you are thinking of a transformer, which you do not need. A transformer converts one voltage to another.
    You don't need to do that as the power supply of modern electronics can take almost any worldwide voltage.
    Look at the label on the device. It should indicate the input power acceptable of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
    Additionally, I found the adapters cheaper in the UK than I found them in the US. They were available in most supermarket chains. I wasn't in Ireland, so I can't say one way or the other.
    If you have something that doesn't have that input power spec, it would require a transformer.
    On other items like electric clocks or things with motors, you can connect them up to a transformer and the voltage will be correct, but the frequency may not. For clocks, that will cause them to not keep time well. For motors, they will burn out.

  • I just purchased an iMAC and Apple just announced the release of the new iMAC

    I just purchased a 27" iMAC with 8GB of RAM and Radeon 6970 2GB.....Total was $2,399 before tax and shipping. Will Apple allow me to exchange for the new iMAC that they just announced today?....I feel ripped off!

    The normal return policy is 14 days; but I've read of a couple of people claiming that individual stores may extend that - those reports were regarding the iPad.
    So, the only way to know is to ask Apple. As for feeling ripped off - why? Do you want/need a CD/DVD drive? The new iMacs don't have one. Do you want a firewire port so you can use your external hard drives which also have firewire - the new ones don't have that either. So, does your current iMac do what you purchased it for? If so, you weren't ripped off. Newer, better, bigger editions of electronics are being introduced daily - it's called marketing.

  • Apple ID for the Deployment Program and VPP is the same

    I created an Apple ID for the Deployment Program and authorized the same ID for VPP.  Now I learned these should be different.  Is this a problem and if so, how can the VPP ID be changed?

    You should be able to. The only hiccup will be that any apps that you have purchased with the older ID you will have to repurchase with the newer ID to be able to keep using them.
    Though of course this actually depends on how you plan to use the IDs. For example, I had an Apple ID through iTunes a few years before I opened a .Mac/MobileMe account (what iCloud is now in case you are new to Apple). Thus, my iPhone and iPad actually have two IDs on them, one for iTunes/App Store, and one for anything associated with iCloud. I've never really had any problems assoctiated with having two IDs on one device. Usually just an extra step when I get a new device or have to restore either of them for some reason. Though I understand that this is probably not what you plan on doing, I thought I would use it as an example of what the IDs are really associted with on the devices.

    If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

  • Hi there, I'm thinking of buying both a new MacBook Pro and a small 22 inch LED tv for my kitchen... what would I need to be able to use (wireless of course) the tv as a monitor for the new computer? Apple tv? Airport Express? something else? Thanks.

    Hi a,
    http://www.mctiviausa.com/
    There has been "talk" on and off of Apple TV doing it (and people have done it with a hack), but I haven't really followed it.
    It would be a whole lot cheaper getting an adapter (as needed) and cable and simply pluggin it in when you're in the kitchen.
