  • Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi.  Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact.  WiFi signal strong on both devices.  What gives?

    Is the router to small?
    Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
    Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

  • How many HD 1080p Videos should the New MacBookPro Retina Display (2.6GHz i7, 8GB Ram, Flash Memory) should run Flowlessly/Smoothly??

    Dears at Mac Support,
    I am a Visual Artist, and I use my MacBook Pro for live Visual/Video Mixing and effects. Since I moved to this new club, i need to run all my Videos on HD 1080p Format. I already had the Latest MacBook Pro (2.3GHz i7, 8GB RAM) with the Stock HDD (5,700 RPM), and it performs beautifully, The only issue was Running more than 1 HD 1080p Videos, where you can feel the slowing down of the Videos. The Solution is moving to SSD Drive where I can run 2 or more HD 1080p Videos Simultaneously (Over Layered).
    Instead of investing in an SSD, i preferred buying the new MacBook Pro Retina Display (2.6GHz i7,8GB Ram, 512GB Flash memory). Everything about the new MacBook Pro should support my work and give me a better Performance. Unfortunately, I am not able to run ONLY 2 HD 1080 Videos to gather! The result is being Breakdance style video, like it's cutting and continuing the videos. Compared to my Old MacBook Pro (2.3GHz i7, 8GB RAM), on the old one the Video slows Down but does not Leg or Cut
    Is there a Solution for this issue? Or i simply did the Most useless investment of my life?
    PS: Both Running on OSX 10.7.4, and both are running on the Video Codecs and Visual Performance Software (Modul8 2.6.4)
    More Details: Video format is .MOV (Photo JPEG)
    If there is any more details you would need, please do let me know.

    This is not Apple Support, nor are they able to be contacted by e-mail.  This is a user to user forum, and we can try to help you as best as possible. Apple moderators can move your thread to a more appropriate forum if needed.
    A faster hard drive connection is available through your Thunderbolt port.  See what you can connect via Sonnet's adapter:
    http://www.sonnettech.com/product/echoexpresscard34thunderbolt.html
    An eSATA or Thunderbolt hard drive would probably be at least faster than the internal drive, and an external SSD may be cheaper than an internal for your notebook, and even faster.

  • The New IPad retina display

    I just bought the so called new iPad last Friday 20 April, and I have noticed there's a dead pixel on it, I went to apple store (the next day), I have been told it's just a small dead pixel, won't affect anything, and no replacement will be given. Instead, I've been asked to claim the warranty which needs at least a week to repair it. What should I do? I'm truly upset by the staff. (ps: from Malaysia)

    thanks for all the helpful information, first guy in shop told me defintly came with charger, then he said wasnt sure, so asked his manager who said it definitly didnt come with a wall charger confusing!!
    now sorted, thanks again

  • MacBook Pro Retina display vs New iPad Retina display?

    Why is type fuzzy on a MacBook Pro Retina display and same type not fuzzy on a New iPad?

    The MBA battery life is a favorable factor for student use.  I do not think that a fast CPU will be of benefit to you nor will more than the basic RAM that is offered but I disagree on storage.  I would opt for the maximum available.  Why carry an external HDD if can avoid it.
    A MBA is compact and easy to transport and perfect in an academic environment.
    Ciao.

  • Trouble opening email attachments sent from another mac

    When I try to open email attachments from my new email acct at Charter.net they come out as giberish! Charter is unable to help me. They have no idea why this is happening. with my hotmail acct I can open them inconsistantly. I am sending things from my work mac to my mac at home. Both use system 10 and both computers have Word so that can't be the problem. I also make sure that the attachments say .doc in the title of the attachment. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

    DOS 8.3 refers back to the pre-Windows days when file names were restricted to no more than 8 characters in the filename plus a three letter extension that identified the type of file; e.g., filename.doc for Word documents. A surprisingly amount of Windows code is still based on DOS, and some programs still behave oddly if you try using longer filenames or filenames with spaces or non-standard (letters and numbers and underscores) in the name.
    On the Entourage machines, check Preferences> Compose and make sure the 'encode for' pull-down fiels reads 'any computer (Apple Double)'.
    Your correct that Hotmail is rather well-known for mungling attachments sent from Macs. For that matter, it's prone to mungle attachments sent from or read by any browser other than Internet Explorer for Windows (e.g., if you use Firefox on Windows, Hotmail will corrupt the mail's formatting). It's possible to have either Safari or Firefox to pretend to be IE for Windows but I've never found that to actually help with Hotmail, probablly because it's checking for ActiveX which is Windows only. I have no knowledge of charter.net or how it's webmail works. One thing that may help with either email at home: try saving the attachments to the hard drive and then open the program you want to use and open the saved file from within the program (as opposed to trying to open the attachment from within the webmail browser or saving the attachment to disk and double-clicking it on the desktop to launch the associated program).
    One thing that might work well is to bypass the webamil approach at home and use a stand-alone mail program, such as Apple's own Mail program in the applications folder or the free download of Mozilla Thunderbird. You mention using Entourage at school; that suggests you'd qualify for the student-teacher version of Microsoft Office, which would let you use Entourage at home as well (that's essentially my home Mac situation; Entourage-to-Entourage works quite well).

  • How do I move apps from iphone5 to new iPad retina?

    HOw to transfer apps from iphone5 to new iPad retina?

    One way is to sync the iPhone using iTunes on your computer.  Then assuming your iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone, sync your iPad using the same iTunes.  Make sure you have the apps sync set up correctly in iTunes for your iPad.  While the iPad is plugged in to iTunes, go to the Apps tab and check the instructions.

  • HT2523 My TextEdit will not open email attachments ending docx. How can I remedy this?

    My TextEdit will not open email attachments ending docx. How can I remedy this?

    No, TextEdit cannot read those. You will need to convert them to .doc files first:
    Mac users using Word 2004 who receive a Word 2008 for Mac, (or Word 2007 for Windows) document, will not be able to read this without having the Open XML Converter installed, which can be downloaded from Microsoft.
    Go to this page:
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx
    and click on the right under Most Popular, 'Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.2'
    This opens a window at the bottom of the page. Scroll that to the bottom and click on English.dmg, and it will download for you as a disk image, which can be installed in the usual way.
    After installation you can open and read .xml formatted Word 2008 documents in Word 2004.
    Update: This link  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976831  takes you to a newer version 1.1.3 (released Nov 10, 2009).

  • How can I open email attachments in Pages?

    I am unable to open email attachments such as Word docs and PDFs in Pages. If I select them I get "open in mover lite." Until recently, when I selected them I could open in iBooks but that is no longer an option for me. I am not sure iBooks would help anyway!
    How can I open attachments in Pages?
    Thank you,

    according to MS KB article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278061
    That file is made when someone is using Rich text format and attaches a file. Have them switch to either HTML or plain text and reatatch the file and you should see the proper attachments.

    How do I stop iCloud from automatically opening email attachments in Firefox?

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?
