I5 vs i7, did you wish you had got the other?

Hi everybody,
I'm going out to get a new 27" iMac today and I have a final couple of questions:
1. Did you wish that you bought the other (i5 or i7) and why?
2. Has anybody played any PC games (Modern warfare 2 in particular) in bootcamp, VM, Parallels?
I'm trying to downsize my computers, I have a couple of PC, Windows Home Server, and I home built game machine (kind of a hobby building and playing). I also have a 17" Macbook Pro that I love, got it a little aver a year ago and I love it. I'm only a moderate game player, but I do like to play to relax, but as you all know, not all the popular games get to Macs in a timely manner.
Everything I've read says that the i5 is a great processor in the iMac, but just looking for a couple of opinions.
Hurry, I'm leaving to buy soon!
Thanks, Mark

Don't count on it. My 2008 vintage 3.06 GHz iMac with a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS graphics card was the high end of that model, but even the day after I bought it, I could bring it to its knees running XPlane with most of the graphics enhancements enabled at a moderately high screen resolution. Game & simulation makers push the envelope as far as it will go.

Have just bought an Ipad 16gb but now wish I had got the 32gb. Can I do anything to increase it

Have just bought an Ipad retina 16gb and wish I had got the 32gb as once I put 3 or 4 films on to it I have no memory left. Any suggestions to increase memory or do I have to put up with it or bite the bullet and buy a 32 gb and try and sell the 16 gb.

If it has not been damaged, you have had it less than 14 days, and you purchased it from Apple, you shold be able to.

I connect my iphone5s to my 2015 Terrain using Bluetooth, when I make a call I can hear the caller but they can't hear me. Anyone else have this problem? How did you resolve it? Other phones connect and work perfectly.

NNeed help I connect my iPhone 5s to Bluetooth in my 2015 GMC Terrain. When I make a call i can hear them but they can't hear me. Anyone else have this issue? How did you resolve it. Other phones work fine, just not my phone.

Hello Sandylynn,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you can connect the device with Bluetooth and make and receive calls but they dont hear you. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If your voice is too faint or sounds unclear using iPhone, or iPod touch - Apple Support
People can't hear you during a phone
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

I'm fed up with buying albums on i tunes with tracks cut. Did you ever experience the same?

i'm fed up with buying on i tunes albums with cut tracks. did you ever experience the same? and stop buying at Apple's?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Why did you take away the Mitch emoji

WWhy did you take away the Mitch emoji. I am so disappointed. The emojis are yellow too! Are you trying to go for the Simpsons? Ugh.i

Mitch didn't like being an emoji.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically. <br />

There is also a '''Restore Previous Session''' button on the default '''about:home''' Home page.

I just bought the ipad 2 16gig and wish I had bought the 32...is there anyway to exchange it?

I just bought the iPad2 16gig and I wish I had gotten the 32 gig. Is it possible for me to exchange it?

If you purchased the iPad directly from Apple, either online or from a retail Apple Store, you have fourteen calendar days from date of purchase to return it. You can then get the higher-capacity model. If you purchased the iPad from a dealer, then that dealer's return/exchange policy, if any, would apply.
Regards.

Can you duplicate spreadsheets so that if you edit one, the other will change accordingly?

Can you duplicate spreadsheets on numbers 3.2.2 so that if you edit one, the other will change accordingly? I am trying to edit one spreadsheet and use filters to change the different views in the other spreadsheets.

Hi Jono,
Your target cell and your base cell need to have the same address. Start with A1 for both. A variation of the formula needs to be in every cell of the second table. Fill down and to the right. You will see your target table appear.

My cpu stays on 3600 rpm. Therefore my fan are on 4800 rpm. Did a smc reset and al the other reset. Help me please. Apple cant help. I even clean the fan.

My cpu stays on 3600 rpm. Therefore my fan's run at 4800 rpm. Did a smc reset and al the other reset. Help me please. Apple cant help. I even clean the fan.
I have tried everything you can find on the net. From unplug the cable cord to cleaning fans. Smc reset en pram reset. Eeven more. Its a Intel imac 24 inch 2009. Help

Hooray, I think I found a solution.
Using terminal commands there actually is a way to force smcFanControl to set a tolerable max rpm for the CPU fan.
WARNING:
Be aware that this solution should only be used if you know what you're doing and you are absolutely sure the CPU fan on your iMac is indeed out of control.
Forcing a low max speed on a healthy CPU Fan with fully functioning sensors can seriously damage your Mac. You have been warned.
The solution:
Install smcFanControl
Go to the terminal and use these commands to regain control of your noisy iMac:
/Applications/smcFanControl.app/Contents/Resources/smc -k F2Mx -w 12c0
This will set the CPU Fan to max at 1200 rpm: (Oh yes!)
To revert to standard settings use:
/Applications/smcFanControl.app/Contents/Resources/smc -k F2Mx -w 3cf0
This will set CPU Fan to max at the default 3900 rpms
You might have noticed that the last 4 digits are the fan speed (in hexidecimal)
Other fan speeds you can try:
1100rpm = 1130
1500rpm = 1770
3900rpm = 3cf0
Now all I need is a way to make the setting permanent. Anyone know how to run the above terminal command automatically on bootup?

HT5714 Why did I pay $19 for Start Trek Into Darkness pre-order, if Apple KNEW they were going to release a bundle on the release date and I could have got the other Star Trek movie for just $5 more? What the heck Apple, I feel completely ripped off.

I didn't even have time to cancel the preorder as that processed a couple minutes before the bundle was posted.
Pre-orders are apparently not worth my time ever again.

Go here:

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Perhaps there will be something they can do for you.

Did you know that the carrier Verizon offer the merge conference call or internet while on call on the iphone? Only AT

Did you know that you can't use the merge function on a iPhone 4s with Verizon Wireless? They blocked the function only AT&T has it, also Verizon doesn't allow browsing the Internet while on a call like AT&T, huge mistake Verizon. For people that conference call, don't get tricked into changing carriers until Verizon changes this feature.

Not sure about the merging of calls, but being able to browse the internet while on a call can't be done with CDMA technology -- so it's not that Verizon doesn't allow it, it just can't be done on their network. This is old news ...

[URXVT] Did you know about the contextual menu ?

Hey folks,
I've been using urxvt for some years now but just realized that if you select some text, and do a Ctrl+right click, you get a menu with things like copy to clipboard or rot13 (??).
Did you know about this ? Is it a new feature ?
Are there more hidden things like this ?
I know about the Ctrl+Shift keycapture mode.
Cheers,

Did you know that the User Library Directory is not Backed Up by TimeMachine unless its visible?

It is the default both in LION and Mountain LION OSX systems to hide the user's Library Directory from visibility. This actually causes a nasty problem with Time Machine Backups and the inevitable Restore. Because it is invisible, it is never picked up by Time Machine and backed up. Thus if one decides to do a restore from a time machine backup it is a complete fail. You must unhide the directory to back it up to time machine.

Not exactly. It is backed up, and if you do a full restore you will get it back (I have done this). It is just hidden in TM just as it is on your HD. No worries about the TM backup. All is backed up.

I5 vs i7, did you wish you had got the other?
