Is any one tired of buying apple products to have them die or become obsolete in 1 to 3 years? I have 2 Ipod touch 5 nanos 1 pad out of all 3 are useable. Batteries die or you can't upgrade to use them with new apps. BIG WASTE OF MONEY.
I have gone through so many apple products to have the battery go out in 1 year or become obsolete in 3 years. I don't believe new apps can't be made to work with older devices and batteries should last more than a year. At this point I feel it's like so much in our world to force us to buy new or use our 3 year old ipod touch as a glorified MP3 player. Some of us can't afford to replace our devices if your like me you expect to use Apple products for a long time that's why you purchase Apple. I bought a ipad so i wouldn't have to carry a laptop but if I want to download music or a book to my nano or ipod touch I can't and who want to take a walk carrying a ipad? Would it be so hard to make a cord to attach a nano to a pad so you can download stuff? What happened to making the consumer happy? Then you call to get answers and you get, sorry that's the way it is we can't help you. I have a box full of apple devices that aren't working or can't be upgraded, I just purchased a nano7 to replace my nano 4 ( the battery dead) this will be my last Apple product until they start standing behind there products like they use to. Far beyond not happy
I have two old ipod classics ( 6 and 7 years old), an ipod nano, the original iphone, iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s and an iphone 5. All still work just fine.
You may be the exception.

If I have a 2009 iMac, can I upgrade to use it with Apple TV. It doesn't have Airplay capability. If possible, what should I buy?
You need a newer 2011 or later iMac to use Airplay.
Sorry.
For older Mac, look at an app called AirParrot

I have a large set of code that I've painstakingly migrated from one labview version to another over the years. I have lots of deployed applications that I need to continue to support. From experience and interaction with other developers, I don't think I can continue to migrate every application to a new labview version when I upgrade going forward. Every application seems to break in one way or another, the builds don't work right and need to be re-done, and its too much time to get all my applications working and tested again. That opinion is solidified by NI's policies that make it impossible to install old toolkit versions on new labview versions, for example. Compatibility is often being sacrificed so NI can develop labview in the direction they choose. So I have to take the position that whatever version I write an application in will probably need to be maintained in that labview version throughout it's life.
In light of this, how are other developers managing older applicatiosn written in older versions of labview. Right now I have a virtual PC on my system with 7.1, 8.0, 8.2, and 8.5 all running on different virtual PC's so I can keep each installation separate. I strongly recommend this approach. But keeping my large libraries of code separate is tough. They are many GB, they all link to each other, and I always get worried even when I separate them in different directories that somehow labview will search in the wrong place and find the wrong version of a sub-vi. Are other people also trying to maintain separate copies of all their code in different labview versions? How are other people managing this problem?

I got 99 problems but 8.6 ain't one.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi,
The following directory hierarchy, coupled with a "hierarchical" VI naming strategy, have been effective (for me) at preventing "cross-linking" across projects and LV versions. The storage hierarchy was designed for use within an SCC environment, but works fine independently. Hierarchical-naming insures unique names for application-specific files. Use of Project Libraries (in LabVIEW 8.x) addresses the problem of having different VIs with the same name, still, it gives me warm-fuzzies to have app-specific files named uniquely, and I can't imagine not using Hierarchical-naming anymore - it's described at-length in section 2.1 of attached .doc..
Note: It's been my experience that companies identify resources as supporting specific "Programs", where a Program is related to a product or "family" of products, so, under <Programs> (below) each "Program" subdirectory encapsulates product-specific (or product-family-specific) applications. Also, assuming no SCC tool is being employed the <Production> directory (below) exists as a repository for distributables. All distributables required to reproduce a test-station should be located under <Production>.

Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
I've followed instructions with success until "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?
I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed. (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac) Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app. It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one. Streamclip played the video with the sound. so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion. I'm exporting the first section now. I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie. I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame? If it can, what size should I select when I export?

Can you use iCloud if you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion?
Can you use iCloud if you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion? I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard but is not compatible with Mountain Lion.
The requirements for Lion are
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
If your Mac complies with that you can buy it by ringing the Online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page.
If it doesn' and you are stuck with 10.6.8 this page explains the situation with Snow Leopard and an existing iCloud account (you can't open one on Snow Leopard):
iCloud and Snow Leopard -
I have a MacBook 5,1 (13.3" aluminum from 2007 or 2008). Automatic updates will only let me get to OSX 10.5.8. Can I upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion 10.6 or even 10.6.8? Also, will I have any issues with my iPhone if it's updated to iOS 7.1?
The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
System Requirements for 10.6:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
You can upgrade direct from 10.6.8 to 10.8 Mountain Lion without going through 10.7 Lion with the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody. The Model 5,1 will probably run 10.9 Mavricks when it comes out.
10.8 Mountain Lion is a download from the App Store, the price is $19.99.
Mountain Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.8 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Mountain Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Mountain Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications. -
Will the I Pad 2 connectr to a Samsung TV to play a movie from I Tunes. Samsung sent the following.
Dear Phillip,
Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics.
We understand that you are not able to movies on the iPad on the TV. We are sorry to say that you can connect devices which are DLNA compatible and PC or laptops which are
installed with PC Share manager. If the iPad supports DLNA, you can connec it to the TV and play the files
supported by the TV. The TV supports following file video types : MKV, AVI, MP4, WMV, MPEG, MPG, ASF, 3GP, TS, TP, TRP. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you.
Samsung Online Support.
Any help?What method of connection are you trying to use? DLNA looks like a standard for sharing media between devices over your home network, but I'm fairly certain the iPad doesn't support this protocol. Apple sell adaptors to connect your iPad directly to TV using composite or HDMI connectors. I'd be surpsied if your TV won't support either of those.

"You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X"
I have a 3 week old MacBook Pro 2.66 (4GB RAM) bought online with the Leopard 10.5.8 Operating System installed. I've tried to install Snow Leopard tonight and it gives me the message "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X." How can that be? I've tried the REPAIR DISK option and it says that my internal HDD is OK - in green. Yet I am unable to install the new OS. What gives?
Message was edited by: Jeff LittleJeff,
It is possible that you are "stuck in the middle." The build of Snow Leopard resident on the DVD may actually have been "solidified" prior to the build that came with your Mac. As a result, the Snow Leopard installer doesn't "recognize" what is currently running on your Mac. Put another way, it doesn't know how to go about upgrading that installation. Yours is the first case of this that I have seen, if that is indeed what is going on here.
Regardless of the cause, you do not have to "upgrade." You can simply erase what's currently on your Mac and install Snow Leopard. You'll want to have a good Time Machine backup first, of course, and I recommend you find a suitable external drive to do so, if you haven't already.
When you do have that backup, you can boot to the Snow Leopard installer, open Disk Utility to erase the internal hard drive, install Snow Leopard, then use the "Migration Assistant" to bring your user data and account(s) back into the new installation. You probably have not had much time to accumulate a bunch of third-party apps, so having to reinstall those should be no problem. Even if you have found some that you like, keep in mind that all of our user data and settings for those apps will already be back in place, along with your HOME folder(s).
If you need further instructions to complete any of the steps I have outlined, we'll be glad to help.

After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account. As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id. How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro? There is no p/w related to it and even though I tried to reset "password" it won't allow as the id does not exist, neither does the email associated with the old id. How do I switch it to a newer id?
It's all rather odd because the old account cannot 'no longer exist' - if you don't have the correct password you won't be able to get into it, but you can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server.
I'm afraid you will need the services of iCloud Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee. -
Any one else been miss-sold products by BT?
I, against my better judgement (following previous expierences with BT), ordered a new private house phone line and broadband package and to cut a long story short I was told something by the Sales Team that, once supplied, turned out to be wrong (a small issue of being told that the 6 end points in the property could all be on the same line - turns out they can't, even though it was checked and confirmed/sold to me that it was). I've complained, on the basis that I was led to believe I was buying one thing to only be given something else, but have been told that it is tough luck and the contract stands (even though the contract I agreed to differs from what has been supplied - and should the original call be played back it would be clearly heard). For a modern day telecommunications company BT do not seem willing to investigate or review? Has anyone else had a similar problem and, if so, did you manage to resolve it? I'm NOT after compensation, I simply want to walk away from BT with a refund (I'll even return the unopened router!) so I'm not out of pocket.
I'd like to take the matter up for Warren Buckley but, for a man happy to put his name on the bottom of new orders, he is very hard to track down. Any one know how I can contact him direct?
As a shareholder in BT I'm even considering asking for a question to be raised at the AGM in, I think, July, simply to bring this issue to light for the board. I know it's a stupidly small issue, but if BT won't at least respond in a professional manner (and either accept they made a mistake or prove me wrong) then why should I.Not working for BT at all.
Why did they say you can't have them?
What they may have said is that any customer provided extension sockets "they" would not connect to "their" network. I believe they may be liable in the future if the sockets or wiring go faulty, however once the main socket has been installed you can connect up the sockets yourself (or an electrician/comms engineer).
You will however would have to have installed by openreach the linebox/NTE type socket like this.
