Has anyone bought the colored cases for their Mac? If so please share the pros and cons

I have seen these cases on Tv shows and online would like to know if anyone else is using it. And if so is it a good product to buy?

I don't own a colored case, but I have used macbooks with colored cases on them. One time was when I used the white macbook (late 2007)... it had a full red colored case on it. To be honest, it looked pretty bad. The best colors are the macbook's original colors.
I have a clear case, and it isn't too bad.
PROS:
- very protective of scratches/dents
- made of sturdy material to have maximum strength
- easy to take off/on
CONS:
- expensive (most of the times)
- makes the MacBook very heavy and makes it thicker
- uncomfortable because of the small edges that clip on to the sides of the computer
- who wants a colored macbook?
anyways if you DO want to buy it, I suggest you buy it from Speck

Has anyone bought a Crumpler bag for their MB?

I want to buy a Crumpler bag (www.crumplerbags.com) for my MB, but I am kind of confused by the colors and need any Crumpler owners' advice!
They have at least two photos for each "Considerable Embarrassment" bag, but the colors look radically different and I want to know which is truer to the actual color. For example, here are the photos they provide of the green bag:
first one: http://www.crumplerbags.com/Cart/Resources/CartResources/195res/b195o3.jpg
second one: http://www.crumplerbags.com/Cart/Resources/CartResources/195res/b195_o10039ai178.jpg
Those are too totally different greens (I don't want to buy it if it's ULTRA bright like the second picture). Just curious if anyone owns a Crumpler or as actually seen one in person and can tell me what they think!

I object to buying something from a company with such a poorly designed website.
Seriously. That is he worst site I have seen from a company who actually tries to make money on the web.
I have heard good things about their bags.

Has anyone tried CDN cloud serving for their podcasts?

Is anyone using Akamai or Highwinds Content Distribution Network for their podcast files? I'm thinking of using 'Origin Pull' where they take the first request for the file at your site and store it 'in the cloud' then all subsequent requests are served from the cloud.
I was wondering if anyone has tried this and if there were any complications with it?

I can't answer you specifically on this, but I've seen cases where odd redirect or content management URLs broke the Store, which is much more touchy than a browser.
If the URL the Store has is directly to the file, and the method you describe takes place in the background, it would likely be OK; but if some sort of odd URL is used then it's risky. Unless someone happens to have done exactly this already I can only suggest either making a new podcast and trying it (make it look convincing - it the Store thinks it's a test it will be rejected -you can always get it removed afterwards); or possibly you could post just one episode done in this way; if it doesn't work you would only need to modify the URL back to a normal one.
The first method would test whether it works for the feed as well as the media, the second only for the media. Note that if you want to use this to count downloads it's probably useless with the feed, since the iTunes application checks subscribed feeds periodically - I don't know whether checking but not actually downloading would count or not.

Has anyone found a stable browser for their Power Mac?

I remember when I first jumped on the Macintosh bandwagon. My friend at the time told me that "Apple has no problem leaving you behind." I am wondering if the community has any solutions. I have a PowerMac G5 that runs great most of the time, except for one problem. I can't find a web browser that its stable. I have Safari 5.0.6 because Firefox no longer supports Power PC and their older versions are unusable and Chrome is Intel only.
The problem I am having is that if I leave my computer on and walk away I am getting scripting errors or spinning pinwheels. The only way I can rectify the issue is to force quit the browser, and this happens so many times throughout the day it makes me ill.
At first I thought maybe it was becasue I didn't have 10% free on my drive. I got a new hard drive. That didn't work. Then I thought maybe I had too much stuff on my machine, so I reformatted my entire drive, and I still suffer from the same problem.
I've finally given up and I ask you. I am really frustarted because signing off on an old OS is one thing. Signing off on the very thing you need to access information efficiently and effectively is ridiculous. Especially since they keep supporting iTunes updates. I guess the legacy support is contingent upon the bottom line and nothing else matters.
If anyone else has found a stable browser for their PowerMac, I would love to hear it. I am running Leopard 10.5.8. Thanks.

Most instabilitiy with Safari is due to third-party add-ons or plug-ins. Many are serious troublemakers, like the "CT" or "Community Toolbar."
If you have a crash report from Safari, I think you'd get some good help by posting it in the Safari forums. Those people are good at ferreting out the add-ons/conflcits that make it unstable.
I run Safari on a number of Macs with OS versions from 10.4.11 to 10.6.8 and I run no add-ons/extensions and a minimal number of plug-ins. It's completely stable for me.
I am running Leopard 10.5.8.
Then you may wish to update the info in your equipment line:
I was about to tell you to update your OS to 10.4.11 when I got to the last line of your post!

Has anyone bought this MBA case from Ebay?

I just got my MBA last week, and now I'm excited to buy a case for it - I was going to purchase one at my local apple store, but decided not to jump into it. I've heard that the hard cases from Speck aren't very reliable and they crack quite often as with many other hard cases.
I've been browsing Ebay and found this case:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/13-3-Rubberized-See-Through-Hard-case-Macbook-Air-TPU-Ke yboard-Cover-/290625225603
It claims the material is not plastic, but rubberized, which to me seems much more durable. It also comes with a keyboard cover. From the photos, it also does not seem to make the MBA appear bulky, like some other cases do. All for a very affordable price..
Just wondering if anyone else has this type of case (seems like a no-name brand) and could offer an opinion (does it damage easily, does it disrupt heat ventilation etc)
Thanks

I got this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hard-Candy-Shell-Case-Cover-New-MacBook-AIR-13-/19053226 2422?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5c9b9a16
And it is awesome.

Has anyone gotten a tracking number for their iPhone 6?

Hello all, I pre ordered an unlocked 64gb Space Gray iPhone 6 via apple.com at about 6:30 A.M. on 9/12. They still had some in stock, because my delivery date has always been 9/19 by standard shipping. Has anyone gotten a tracking number when ordering via apple? When i log into my account to look at my order, it says Preparing for Shipment. It has done this since saturday night. But on my Apple support profile, it lists my 6 as a device with the serial number; and I have heard that this means it has shipped. So, what is it? And has anyone recieved a shipment notification or tracking number yet when ordering via apple? Thanks in advance!

9/19 delivery means 9/19 delivery. Be patient. UPS probably asked Apple not to release tracking info until Thursday.

Hi, has anyone else installed BT Cloud on their Mac?

Helllo,
I'm a BT phone customer they're also my ISP and they provide 2GB of cloud storage.
I probably caused my problem because I installed, uninstalled, and re-installed the BT Cloud App. Don't ask why!
Anyhow when BT Cloud is running TWO processes show up in the AM?
I tried deleting anything named BT Cloud and then doing a fresh install. But re-installed and running I always end up with the screen below.
I contacted BT tech and they said when BT Cloud is running only ONE process should be showing in AM.
Would anyone be able to help me? BT Cloud has grown on me and I do quite like it, plus it syncs across my iPod 5th. I used to use Sugar Sync but they changed to a 'subscription only service'. And dropbox is okay but you can't sync folders with dropbox. I wish I could backup important folders to iCloud but I don't think you can? I can back up up my Numbers, and Pages, but that's about it apart from photos and music etc.

I am thinking of updating to the newest version for my Mac Laptop. I have the 10.6.8 should I update to the Mountain Lion OS X? If I update will I loose all my data, like documents, music, pictures?

Wondering if I should update my Mac Notebook which is a 10.6.8 versions to the newest Mountain Lion version? What are the positive and negatives about the new version? Also if I update will I loose all the date on my computer like documents, music, pictures etc..?

First check the Compatibility of your Mac...
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
Then... Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
(Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

Only the carrier to which the phone is locked can authorize an unlock. None of the Japanese carriers will do that. Sell the phone and buy one that works in Brazil.

Hi,
I would like to ask you a question.
a month ago I bought a battery case for iPhone 5 and it worked properly until I installed iOS 7. From that day my iphone is operating normally, BUT when the battery is empty, unfortunately I can not charge additionally my iphone with the "extra battery case".
Does that mean that you did not even create a new software that supports additional battery case or it is something else?
I need your help!!,
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
VK

The Mophie Air is a good battery case, but doesn't offer the protection she's looking for. I suggest sticking to the Lifeproof, the iPhone has a very good battery (2-3 days moderate usage for me).
To your 2nd to last paragraph, that is false. Verizon is allowing exisiting customers to keep Unlimited Data - but will lose it once they use a subsidized upgrade. So if you buy a 4S (or LTE device for example) outright, you will keep unlimited data. Mobile hotspot may use up a bit of data, but it is a separate add-on/feature. The new Family Share plans may change that, so it's one giant center of data all devices use.

Has anyone had success with Apple replacing their iPhone 4 [out-of-warranty] concerning the stuck power button?

For $149 they will do an out-of-warranty replacement.

Has anyone bought the new ATI/MSI RS480M2-IL s939 motherboard yet?

Has anyone bought the new ATI/MSI RS480M2-IL s939 motherboard yet?
If Yes, How is It?
This seems from what I've read at least to be a good or even great overclocker, It's too bad that It isn't a full ATX motherboard, Maybe If sales are good enough MSI will use this chipset on a Full size ATX motherboard one day. Of course It does have an Integrated ATI video card in It and It have as much as 128Mb ram for the pci-e built-in video or You could add a separate pci-e video card in the 16x slot. It's $94.00 right now on pricewatch.com of course.

Ordered one for a home workstation from ZipZoomFly.com. Also picked up a 3000+ and already have 1GB of Adata PC4000. Will be utilizing onboard video until I have the need/desire to upgrade to PCI-Express video card. Hard drive will be a new Maxtor 250GB ATA-133 16MB Cache that I picked up from CompUSA for $99/no rebates :D
I will post my thoughts after the system is together, should have parts by Thursday/Friday.
Well at least You aren't buying from Logic Circle Systems That place will ship incompatible ram that is Intel approved and say then It is You cpu that is at fault, I should know I'd bought zoom3's motherboard and some Wintec ram(Samsung chips ending in TCCC) and They said they were tested and AMD approved(They aren't, Wintrec is Junk on an AMD Platform), I now have a Corsair CMX512RE-3200LL Dimm and My cpus work fine at PC3200 speeds and above, Logic Circle Systems said was at fault. Logic Circle Systems is a bunch of Liars and are not trustworthy.

i Don't actually mean when you put it In the phone. I mean when you try to take the slot out of the phone with the pin. As soon as I pulled it out it bent.
That makes less sense as the sim tray a fairly stiff metal and should be pulled straight out once released. You didn't answer the question about where is was bought. Is is a real iPhone?
