How does Apple identify the MB Air?

Here is something I can't figure out. I was checking today on the Apple Recycle program where I could turn in my MB Air, first version, and get credit to use in purchase of a newer one. So I go through the steps until the last one when I get a list of the different models of MB Air. I "think" I know which one I have but the confusion is that that they list numbers after each model name and brief specs and this number, which seems the way they identify which one it is, I cannot find on the MB Air itself. That is if I use "About this Mac" and get all the hardware info there, no number like the one that Apple is using for identification shows up in that window. So I am left with the remaining difficult of being unsure which one I have. I would think that if Apple is using some number to identify each model that it would be readily found, wouldn't you? A puzzle. Well, maybe I am just not seeing it but any suggestions welcome.

  • How does Apple produce the iPhone demo videos?

    Anyone who knows how Apple produce their iPhone demo videos (iPhone + hands)? Greenscreen or filmed realtime on the phone´s screen? I´m going to produce a demo video (Apple App) so any tips are welcome!

    Yes to each technique. Each is used where appropriate or necessary to pull off the illusion of clarity and performance. Those are illusions and simulations designed to sell iPhones and iPads, they do not represent real world conditions or response or display.
    So you get to do whatever you want. But for the most part, the screen image is placed into the shot of the device. Affecting a seamless chromakey into the screen reuires careful planning, tests, and superior acquisition tools. You wont' be able to do the same work using DV or a GoPro.
    I've seen this question asked many times on forums for effects software like After Effects. The answer usually comes down to this: Are you selling your app or are you selling iPhones? If you're selling the app, figure out how to spend as little time as possible trying to make it look good on the phone. If making it look good on the phone is crucial to your sales effort, hire the necessary equipment and technical talent to do it properly and, if you are a good study, let them teach you how to do it next time.

    How did she change her AppleID?
    If she simply updated the AppleID (not created a new one with a new email address), log out then log back into iTunes store.

  • We bought a time capsule then the wifi has a problem since it does not identify the existing wireless network and it says that its need to have an update firmware. The existing firmware is 7.3.1, does it have an newest update firmware existing now?

    We bought a time capsule, 1TB, then the wifi has a problem since it does not identify the existing wireless network and it says that its need to have an update firmware. The existing firmware is 7.3.1, does it have an newest update firmware existing now? Does APPLE do not provide latest firmware for this item?

    How old is that Time Capsule?  The fact that it still have firmware 7.3.1 suggests that it's not the latest model.  The latest firmware available for my two-year-old model is version 7.5.2.  Apple does provide firmware updates.  You just have to let the Time Capsule download and install them.  Use AirPort Utility to do that.
    Regarding your Wi-Fi problem, please explain what you mean by "it does not identify the existing wireless network".
    By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject.  In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.

  • How might I identify the manufacturer of an external hard drive?

    This question may not be limited to G3 iMacs running OS 9.2.
    I got the machine a year ago, and about 6 months ago I added an external USB HD sold under the CompUSA name. I have been having some difficulties lately, and as part of my troubleshooting efforts, I decided to use Apple System Profiler to identify the manufacturer of the HD. I discovered that ASP *does not* identify the vendor of the HD, although it does identify the vendors of the internal HD, the keyboard, the CD drive, etc.
    Short of disassembling the HD, is there any way that I can identify who manufactured it?

    In Apple System Profiler, look at the USB bus information. Frequently it will contain enough information (drive model #, etc.) to search the Internet for more details.

  • How do I identify the maximum length of video in iMovie which can be made into a dvd in iDVD, please?

    How do I identify the maximum length of video in iMovie which can be made into a dvd in iDVD, please?
    I made a sellection of video clips  > pressed on "share" > on iDVD >  after one hour of formating the message was under "project duration"  : "Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window."
    I have edited out some of the clips and waited anothe hour or so bu the same message appeared !
    I want to know in advance how long can be the video clip sellection for the quality of video chosen ( the best before HD).
    please help if ou can.
    thank you very much indeed.

    It's trying to tell you to change the encoding setting:
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time taken.
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • How does Apple decide 'what's hot' among iphone apps?

    How does Apple decide what to list in its "what's hot" section of the iphone application store? I assume there is some hard coded logic behind that phrase.

    Sorry, but Apple never discloses how they choose those sorts of features.

    How does one get the Satellite to work in google maps ?

    I am experiencing exactly the same issue - iMac, 10.6.8.  Thanks for reporting it - I thought I was going nuts.  What happens from here?  Does Apple watch these postings?  Do we just hope that they find the bug themselves?  Is there a vehicle for reporting bugs directly to Apple?
    Thanks in advance.
