IBook Shipping between Christmas and New Years?

Anyone from Apple know whether books are being processed and shipped between Christmas and New Years?
I am wondering if anyone has an accurate answer as to why shipping time takes longer then normal if an iBook order was put in on December 23rd (3:00am Pacific). I made the order exspecting the shipment to arrive by atleast the 30th with express shipping. If i had ordered on December 22nd, the site said it would arrive by December 29th, and assumed that if ordered a day later it would arrive a day later. The message I received when purchased said it would only be delivered Jan 4-6 which is much more than anticipated. Of course it's the holidays, but this doesn't make sense to me even with omiting the 26th as a holiday. That, and it is the end of the holidays so I would think most books have already been made and shipped? I am leaving overseas on the 31st and wanted to have these books to give to relatives! I ordered them and am just hoping they come in on time.
Anyone from Apple know whether books are being processed and shipped between Christmas and New Years?
By the way, since the 23rd, it said the books were Preparing for Shippment.
Thanks!

Apple does certainly know
Unfortuantly you you are posting in a strictly user to user forum so no one here has any idea at all
Anly Apple can answer - Sorry

Happy Christmas and New Year to all forum users

Thanks to the big guns Tom, Ian et al for their continual help and guidance and to all those whose post problems because it helps me realise I am not a dufus and we all experience the same problems!
Happy film making to us all.

Couldn't agree more. My conversion to FCE has been helped so much by these forums and I'm now at the point that I'm doing this video thing for a job these days, still a lot to learn though. Thanks again to the regulars here for all your help and encouragement.

WDS between old and new AEBS

First I want to apologize for this lenghty post. I want to provide as much useful info as possible. We just bought the new AEBS Dual Band and tried to add it to our existing WDS network and ran into a few serious snags. I really hope we can find help here. I've already spent many hours pouring through this forum and other sites and can't find any answer. Here's what our existing network look like:
Gigabit AEBS N as WDS Main > 2 "G" AXs as WDS Remotes
Wireless clients include: Tivo (G), MacBook (N), 2 iPhones (G), iBook G3 (B).
Wired clients include: Tivo HD, PowerMac G5, Mac mini, laser printer
What we were trying to accomplish is to make the new Dual Band AEBS as the new WDS Main and create 2 (connected) WiFi networks via WDS:
N network (5GHz) > Dual Band AEBS as WDS Main > Gigabit AEBS N as WDS Remote
G Network (2.4GHz) > 2 "G" AX as WDS Remotes
We want to do this so the Gigabit AEBS N can live in our living room and allow the Tivo to have decent speed when we download the shows to the Macs or to transfer between the Tivos. Since the Dual Band is advertised as being able to broadcast on both frequencies simultaneously, we're assuming it can do this. However, I can't find any info online or otherwise that either confirms or disputes this function.
When I tried to set it up as such, the 2 AXs work as expected. But the Gigabit AEBS N becomes non-responsive. I even tried to hard reset it and re-attach it to the network using 2.4GHz to no avail. At this point, the Gigabit AEBS N either gives the -5 error or, after hard reset, fail to acknowledge the WAN port when I tried to do a "basic" setup to test it.
My first question is: Does the Dual Band AEBS support my desired configuration at all? That is, create separate WDS networks on the 2 frequencies (5GHz vs 2.4). No one I've spoken to at Apple has a clear answer. So I wonder if anyone who reads these forums has tried this.
My second question is: does the 7.4.1 firmware hose the WAN port of the Gigabit AEBS N? I've downgraded it back to 7.3.2 and the WAN port is still not recognized. The AEBS was working 100% before the swap (and the firmware update that followed).
My last question is: Has anyone experienced "stuttering" on the Dual Band AEBS? I haven't noticed it until I tried to playback some QuickTime files off the Airport Disk attached to the Dual Band. On the Gigabit AEBS N, the files all play smooth without any dropped frames (even during substantial network activities). On the Dual Band, frames were dropping every few seconds (even during an otherwise idle network load). When I look at the Airport menu (holding down Option), the Transmit Rate fluctuates between 300 and 1 every few seconds.
Does this mean I now have 2 defective AEBS? Can someone shed some light on this? We would really appreciate any help.
PS: When I take a peek in the "Wireless Clients" pane in Airport Util under the Dual Band, the Rate for the 2 AXs are hovering between 1 and 5. Does this sound right?

I am in a similar situation. I purchased a new dual-band Extreme to replace the older G spaceship with the intent of extending both bands with 2 Expresses, one a new N and other an older G. I extended the N band successfully with the N Express, but when I tried to configure the older G Express I couldn't get the dual band to recognize it when WDS was selected. When I choose "join the existing network" the dual band connected to it, but of course this didn't extend the range.
My first call to Apple Support indicated that I could only extend one or the other with an Express, and that I would have to buy a second dual band Extreme if I wanted to extend the range of both bands at the same time. I took this to mean that I would set up the 2nd unit would act as a dual remote to "extend the network." I returned the new N Express and got a second dual band Extreme, but before I opened it up I checked with another Apple "product specialist", who then told me that I could NOT use the 2nd dual band Extreme to extend both bands at the same time.....only one or the other. According to this guy I would need to hook both routers up together with an ethernet cable, then I could extend each network separately with the Expresses.
There has to be a better way to accomplish this.

Different power requirements between 3G and newer iPods?

Can anyone inform me as to whether there is any input power
requirement difference between the 3G and newer "dock connector" iPods? I'm wondering why Griffin Tech sells a PowerPod car power cord for the 3G and earlier dock models and a PowerJolt for the 4G and 5G dock models and Shuffle. If there is no power difference, I'd like to buy the PowerJolt, and use it for both my 3G dock model and my Shuffle, without buying 2 different car power adapters. Any light that can be
shed on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

I answered my own question. I found my 3 year old owner's manual and found the page where it noted that the iPod will NOT charge the battery when connected via USB to dock cable. Concluding that I probably would not damage my iPod, I tried connecting the PowerJolt, and, as suspected, the iPod does NOT charge. The Griffin Tech solution for vehicle power for the 3G iPod REQUIRES PowerPod.

Free RAM - a dif in iBook performance between 25M and 1G?

Hi...I keep several programs running on my iBook 1.33 with 768 onboard. Activity Monitor shows that at its lowest, my free RAM dips to around 25 or so megs when I'm streaming video from a news site.
My question is whether or not there is a difference in the Book's performance when I have 25 megs of free RAM....or 500 megs? Or being "in the green" means that there is simply enough...being "greener" won't make a difference...
I know that more is always better, but I'd like to know if more is necessary.
The answer will determine whether or not I switch out the 512 for a 1G.
I'd appreciate any feedback...Thanx!

In those instances where chip RAM is needed (and not in a video-intensive
situation where you can't upgrade VRAM, and regular RAM is not shared)
the chip RAM is faster and more readily is available to priority applications
and the OS X system itself. And Virtual Memory (VM) is slower, due to
the fact that is derived by the computer having to read-write to/from the
internal hard disk drive, and that is a slower and less-direct process.
Another way to speed up a limited upgrade option computer would be to
pay to have (or be brave and suffer any consequences, and DIY) the
internal hard disk drive replaced with a faster spin-rate new drive which
also has a larger buffer - and - more free space. This and the chip RAM
could make the computer act more like a faster model computer. At
least until the hard disk drive gets fragmented and or more than 3/4 full.
There are more than a few things one can do to enhance the performance
of the hard to upgrade iBook G4 (or iMac G4) since you can't change the
CPU or make the system bus work any faster. Bottlenecks aside, a few
items that can be upgraded, along with a regimen of routine maintenance
can help almost any computer not pushed beyond its limits, to work better.
Even with a hard disk drive only 75% full, it can be more sluggish and
waste processing and swap-file cycles (moving data bits as VM to/from
the hard disk drive when taxing the limited resources of the computer)
if the hard disk drive has never seen much maintenance. If you use an
external FireWire enclosed hard disk drive, and learn how to clone the
whole iBook's drive contents over, then be sure the clone-copy can boot
the computer, before proceeding; you could use the disk utility to wipe
the drive and use the zero-overwrite option, totally erasing and then to
reformat the drive again, to clear any low-level issues and defragment
the drive, (plus pull any seldom used saved items off the computer,
to free-up hard disk drive space, for the system to use as swap & VM)
you could also reclaim some of the original illusions of speed now lost.
{As the computer's OS gets more and more parts, updates and also
any application and associated files to sort through, it will run slower;
VM also this adds into the mix, with a fuller and older hard disk drive.}

In reference to bootable clones of OS X systems:
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
Minor to major background maintenance, preventative, can be helped
through the use of this utility interface tool; it can help the OS X and
your computer generally run a bit better. I use OnyX's 'automation'
selection and also have this utility's preferences set for it to restart
by itself after it runs all of the checkboxed items in this set. For this,
see: Titanium Software - OnyX: http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html
Also, About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions (& 'repair disk' from
the booted installer's version of Disk Utility; research this further.)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452
Sometimes, even just repairing those disk permissions can help; and
the OnyX tool can run that, as part of the Automation sequence; but
it should be run more often from D.U. than you'd need to use OnyX.
Troubleshooting permissions issues in OS X (and using Disk Utility)

There is a relationship between RAM, free HDD space as Virtual Memory,
system maintenance, disk drive health, and other interrelated details.
Good luck & happy computing!

Will iBooks sync between iPhone and iPad with non-iCloud Apple ID?

I have two Apple IDs. One is an email address that I've used for all my iTunes purchases. The other is a .Mac account that I've had for I think ten years. The .Mac account has, of course, been converted to an iCloud account. I got an iPad recently and have bought some books from the iBooks store using my non-iCloud Apple ID. I have books on both my iPad and iPhone and have Sync Bookmarks and Sync Collections enabled on both devices. Both devices are connected to my iCloud account. But the two devices don't sync. Is this because my purchases were made with my non-iCloud account? Is there any way to get them to sync?

I don't think you are missing anything...
On the iOS devices tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Photo Stream off then back on then reset the devices.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
See if your photos sync now between the PC, iPad, and iPhone.

Difference between old and new MM?

Staying in front of dillemma. Don't know what to buy: old MacMini or new one with Intel? What is the difference between them besides speed? Is that difference so important for people who is not so big specialists? Thanks in advance for reply.

Not surprisingly, this question is being asked rather frequently at present, but it is now getting harder and harder to find G4-based minis, so it's not going to be long before there is no choice.
The Intel minis are certainly faster than the PPC versions, an in some applications it's quite noticable, though it has to be said that in the usual sort of tasks involving web browsing, email, typing etc, there's not much difference that you would expect to see. If you were planning to use iMovie, Garageband, iPhoto etc, then the Intel version would be a better bet, and certainly if you are hoping to push the system quite hard by regular and perhaps demanding tasks.
Personally, after testing a couple of Intel mini's, I'm happy with my G4 models - at least for another year or two, but in part that's because at this time some of the software I run is NOT Intel native, so it would run slower on the Intel models under emulation than it does on the G4. If you had a collection of existing software titles you wanted to run (things like Photoshop or inDesign for example) that would be a serious consideration to be taken into account in your decision, since these aren't Intel native as yet and no immediate announcement of them becoming so.
I would have to say that in my experience, for the sort of things most people use a computer, you likely would be very happy with either. Just bear in mind that the more memory the system, the better it will run anyway.

Ibooks syncing between iphone and ipad

Is there a way to keep both my iPhone and iPad books in sync between my iPhone and iPad? Just like Amazon Kindle that you can read on one device and continue where you left off on another device. Your placeholders and bookmards are constantly in sync. I'd like to be able to do that without have to connect to my MacBook. I thought this should be possible now with iCloud.

My new iPad mini had the iBooks, Sync Bookmarks and Sync Collections turned on by default. But my iPhone 4s did not. Snyc didn't work after I turned them on for the iPhone. But after a shutdown and restart of the phone, it worked. I also "stopped" the iBooks app on the iPad. When I relaunced iBooks on the iPhone, it asked me if I wanted to Sync with iCloud--I said Yes.
Now bookmarks show up on the iPad (I had created the bookmarks on the iPhone).

What is the different between old and new succession planning?

Hi
I have worked a lot on succession planning in 4.6c. In ECC 6.0, the succession planning has shifted to e-recruitment section.
1. What is the difference between succession planning in 4.6C and ECC 6.0
2. Can I still use the old succession planning in ECC 6.0
3. Is there a requirement to transfer data from old succession planning to new succession planning if we move to ECC 6.0?
Thanks

Comparism between old and new MacBook Pro

Hi!
I have a first generation MacBook Pro1,1 (Core Duo Intel, 2Ghz, 2Gb RAM) and would like to know if I will gain much in oerformance if I buy a new one. Has there been any great performance improvements since my model?
Thanks!

There are definitely performance gains but how much is a matter of perspective and subjective to the end user, IMHO.
There's a couple of sites you might wish to visit for more info:
http://www.barefeats.com (they offer comparisons based on performance via applications, games, between computers, etc.)
http://www.primatelabs.ca/blog/ (they offer a benchmarking app and posts their results on their blog page)

Difference between i7 and new i7

Hi - not a critical question but curious if anyone can tell me what differences there are between the i7 I bought about 3 weeks ago, and the new one released this week. No buyers remorse but curious none the less.
Thanks
Jon

Hi as far as I understand it the changes are:
1. Around 4,5% faster processor with unlocked overclocking posibility.
2. Memory running at 1333Mhz (think old one was running at 1066Mhz even if memorys was 1333Mhz?)
3. A BIG upgrade of the GPU
4. Option for 2 HDD:s directly from apple without the need to take avay the optical drive to get a 2nd HDD.
Basicly the only big upgrade is the GPU, so unless you play games much you wont notice any difference between the two.
