Is anyone as satisfied/happy with the nano as I am?
I ordered my white 4gig nano on Sept. 12, received it on Sept. 15, personalized, with free shipping. Applied invisibleShield 4 days later, and picked up a Case Logic memory card case from Wal-Mart for $4 bucks. I lined the case with the grey cleaning cloth that came with my iMac. I heard the case was a perfect fit, and it is. I have had no problems with my nano. I tried an iPod photo several months ago, but could hear the audio defect that ilounge spoke of. I could also hear the hard drive spin up, something I had never heard from my minis. The audio from Ipod photo when not hearing the defect was great. It just sounded richer/fuller than the minis. My 1st gen. mini sounds really good, my 2nd gen. mini sounds even better, and the nano sounds better than them all, including the iPod photo! I have not had any crashes, no scratches, and no battery life problems. My headphones are Apples in-ear with Sony caps/buds. They fit the Apples perfect, and are very comfortable. For $40, they are very good. The stock Apple caps/buds will not stay in your ears. I've tried Etys. 6i, but for $150 not worth it., weak bass and small cords. I also like the speed of the nano, no lag that you get from hard drive iPods. Just wondering if anyone else is as satisfied with the nano as I am. Thanks, Anthony
some want to use their guns- so-keep the "praises"- to yourself
-have you heard the saying-"So the lark sang the last song"
Sorry... Call me stupid, but does anyone understand this?
I have a Shuffle and a Nano and To be honest, I'm not sure which one I'll keep.
I like the Shuffles simplicity and sound quality (with a pair of $40 Sony In-Ear headphones... Apple 'phones are USELESS IMHO).
I like the Nano's screen, interface and 4gig of space.
THe click wheel volume control is too touch for me. I constantly have to lock the nano's controls before simple slipping it into my shirt pocket, lest my eardrums be blown out .
But even saying that, the nano seems to lack some volume that the shuffle has (I have to play at 70% with sound check OFF, MORE with soundcheck ON). I dont like the Nano's short battery life, Fragility and the sound quality (with the SAME 'phones) doesnt seem quite as good, even fiddling with the EQ. I hear plenty of Low-end distortion.
I still use my iPS at the gym because i dont have a nano case yet... after that, I'll see which one I decide to sell or give to a friend.
Overall I'd say 9.5/10 for the shuffle, 8/10 for the Nano.
Hope that helps.

Is anyone happy with the new iweb 09
Is anyone happy with the new iweb 09? Do you like the new ftp option? Are there any new templates?
Does this software fix any of the previous browser problems, like IE destroying our websites and effects not showing in certain browsers. I hope this is fixed it seemed to be the main thing that makes iweb not the best thing ever..As always, the problem is not really with iWeb but that stone age contraption that Fred Flintstone used - Internet Explorer.
I keep my file sizes down as much as I can in iWeb, add effects to images and then take a screenshot to replace this as a JPEG etc.
I then optimize and upload the files with WSM which cuts out about 30% of the unneeded stuff.
I don't use iWeb albums pages any more or any of the fancy templates.
I have quit using Quicktime for music in favor of flash.
A backward browser needs to be fed simple information. -
Is there anyone out there happy with Media Encoder?
After almost year of working with CS4 under both XP 32 bit and now Windows 7 64 bit, I am delighted with Photoshop and After Effects, tolerant of the defects in Premiere, and absolutely insanely angry about Adobe Media Encoder. I have spent a great deal of time following other people's posts and recommended "fixes." None have made the slightest difference in the ponderous performance and frequent crashing, especially when exporting AC3 files through Surcode.
I have tested this setup with no greater happiness on clean installs with NOTHING else on the computer but CS4 with all updates. These systems have all significantly exceeded Adobe's requirements for the software.
I have used in that time three different motherboards. I have worked with Premiere for years, literally since version 3. A have loads of experience optimizing computers for video. I also have lots of experience with other editing systems, having done in-depth reviews of NLEs for DV Magazine for a number of years. This is not to say that I have not missed something, but the consistent complaints I see reveal a critical lack of attention to the broken bits of this system.
I see lots of posts on this and other forums about the poor performance of AME. I see very few where anyone is happy with the software.
My current 2-hour project which loads into Premiere in under a minute can take 20 or 30 minutes to load in AME. Even when exporting only audio, AME appears to launch PPheadless and render all video frames before getting to the audio, and I have repeated issues with the program locking up when exporting more than 20-25 minutes of audio.
The decision to remove all direct exporting ability from Premiere and use the often broken Dynamic Link to AME was a gross mistake which in my opinion takes Premiere off the table for any professional shop. I do not do work for hire, but I cannot imagine explaining to a client who is paying by the hour why we have to sit and wait for fifteen or twenty minutes for AME to load the project that was already loaded in PP to just export a brief section. The architectural decision might be OK if all the bits that were involved were bulletproof and reliable, but the ImportProcessServer.exe and other dynamic link bits are clearly the source of problems for many people.
So here's my question: is there ANY professional end user out there that is happy with the current incarnation of AME and the decision to remove direct export ability from PP?What format(s) do you work in? What length of project? Do you output to AC3? I have no problems with AME for short projects or to output the same size/format -- for instance, I can usually output full HD for Blu-Ray but experience lots of crashes if scaling down to SD for DVD. The crashes also occur above certain lengths, usually 20 min +. With audio, I can output 5.1 uncompressed WAV in the same format (for instance, 16 bit) but if I try to output 24 bit (which AME is supposed to be able to do) I get "Encoding Failed - Unknown error." In fact the error log is ALL that very helpful message, always when transcoding to another format/bit depth/size. When outputting 5.1 to AC3, AME freezes up and fails at around 20 minutes.
Our systems are very silimar -- the current system is i7 proc with 6gb ddr3 ram on a gygabite GA-EX58-UD3R.
A have not had any huge issues really with AME for short videos or output to FLV for web.
But the workflow I use is something that CS4 is SUPPOSED to be able to do. And the very unusual issue is that I have seen posts about the same type of errors (with ImportProcessServer etc) on Macs as well. -
I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!). However, the really strange thing is this - there is now a thin yellow line, way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom, and stays there no matter where I go or what I do. I've never seen anything like this! It was not there before I did the upgrades. Anyone out there ever heard of such a preposterous thing ~ or have any ideas on how to get rid of it?
Hello Mark,
It's going to mean a lot of reading but you should study the 'More like this' legend to your post's immediate right. >>>>>>>> plus some of the links within each.
The problem is well explored with much guidance on what to do and where to go. -
Has anyone had any problems with the latest upgrade for iPad?
I have an iPad 1 and am being prompted to upgrade to the latest version software. Has anyone had any problems when doing this? Our PC runs on Wndows 7.
Having just resolved iTunes not connecting to the store after the recent upgrade, I'm reluctant to do something that could potentially screw up the iPad which does what we want as it is.bobtheblob wrote:
Ok, thanks for that. I'll hang fire for the moment & see if anyone else has any comments.
That's probably a good idea. If you are happy with the system as is, I'd wait to upgrade. I can report that my friends and family have mostly upgraded to iOS 5 without any problems, but as you can probably tell from other posts on this board, lots of people have run into problems.
As the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! -
Shuffle 3g - Anyone who is happy with it?
I have recenlty ordered an iPod shuffle 3rd generation as a gift for a relative.
The thing is on its way, as the birthday party will be in a week or so.
Now before buying this little ipod I forgot to check on here and see if there were any problems with the device...and I'm truly upset abourt this moisture problem.
The person who is going to get my present is not a runner or anything but I'm sure she intends to use it at the gym sometimes and also at the beach or on a bike ride...
I'm really worried about this whole thing and I'm afraid I betetr return it as soon as I get without waiting for any testing time. Eeven people who bought the ipod recenlty experienced that problem..so I guess that in a whole year they still didn't fix the earbuds.
Anyone in here who had succesful experiences?I bought one early, took it on a trip and temporarily used the iPod headphones since no adapter was available at that time. I ran into the sweat problem in Glendale, AZ, and using plastic wrap and scotch tape from the kitchen of one restaurant covered the controls and stopped the moisture problem.
But that was only temporary anyway, I was waiting to buy this:
http://scosche.com/products/sfID1/210/sfID2/343/productID/1726
That lets me use my Ultimate Ears and Sennheiser Sport headphones or any others with it and I have not had any problems at the gym. And I do sweat a lot.
Quite happy with the combination, glad not to be using the Apple earbuds. -
I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
“Welcome to Aperture 3.2
Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
Current Library Location:
Jadzia (home) -----Pictures------Aperture Library
QUIT UPGRADE”
I have heard horror stories about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
So here is my dilemma. I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop. Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file. For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

I have had a verizon cell phone for 13 years and have gotten your cable/internet/phone when i moved out on my own because i had been so happy with the experience i had with the cell phone service. i ordered my new iPhone 6 on October 6th along with my husband. i was told by the sales associate at the vierzon store where i placed the order that it would ship a week before halloween. instead of a shipping confirmation, i received an email a week before halloween letting me know that my order had been placed on 10/24/14. i thought this was weird, but figured i could weight another week or two, no big deal. my husband got his phone in the mail yesterday. still no sign of mine. then this morning i got an email letting me know that my order was cancelled and if id like to place another order for a phone, then i can go back to the store and do so. why would i want to go through another month of this??? verzon lost my order. i never canceled it and i am beyond annoyed. i am looking to switch my entire house to another provider. this is ridiculous.
i did not get any reasons or explanations. the email just stated that my order was canceled and that it won't be posted to my credit card (i have more than enough to cover the cost, so that is not the issue). also my husbands phone was paid for from the same card moments before me. my balance is always paid automatically and on time. so that couldn't be the reason either. that's what so frustrating is because they didn't explain what happened. this is what the email read exactly:
"This email is to confirm that your order has been cancelled; you have not been billed for this merchandise.
If you would like to place a new order, you may do so by visiting your local retail store or going online to www.verizonwireless.com.
Business customers should refer back to their local Verizon Wireless Sales Representative if you have any questions or would like to place a new order.
Thank you, and we look forward to your business in the future.
Verizon Wireless"
it almost feels like its saying that i canceled it and that this was to confirm that i did. but i didn't cancel anything. -

Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?
In the last month or so, I've had one problem after another with the Canon Online Store; from being unable to delete items from the shopping cart; to not being able to add "in stock" items; disappearing Wish Lists; and just now, I tried to add one lens cap to the 6 or 7 items I already had in the Shopping Cart, and they disappeared.
I've called, more than once, and I've written, also more than once, to Canon Support about this, but they ignore what I tell them, and tell me there are no problems with the Online Store. They don't even seem to report to anyone that anyone has complained, because each time is "the first time", even though I've called (more than once) and written (more than once) to them about continuing Online Stores problems.
Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?
Why does Canon not care to track reported problems with the storefront part of their web-site?
I'm not trying to insult Canon, it's just that I've been a Canon customer for less than 3 months, and the're only batting .333, so far. Canon Support was very quick to respond about a concern I had that a 50mm f/1.4 I had just purchased was authentic or not. In trying to register that lens, I looked up on the Canon web site where to find the serial number. Since my new lens did not have any numbers there, I was concerned I had been sold a fake. But, then Canon Support sent me link to a different online document that showed a few different places where it might be, and there it was.
Is Canon like that with other problems, as well? Or is their "batting" average better than my very limited experience?
I just love my Rebel T5i, and my Canon lenses (from "the Kit brothers of the Cropped Frame coral": EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and EF-S 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM; to the "Truly Nifty Fifty", the 50mm f/1.4 USM, [the f/1.8 is just a "thrifty fifty"], and finally, the "Super-Macro" MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro)!

As an old friend used to always say,
"Keep Looking Up!"
CalenHi Danny. Thanks for replying.
I only use my desktop PC to access Canon's web site, and I've been using Mozilla Firefox for years. And, yes, it is the latest version. Since Canon REFUSES to support the use of Firefox on it's web site, WHAT BROWSER DOES CANON SUPPORT? WHEN did Canon STOP SUPPORTING Firefox?
I've been told that there are 2 pending orders in my account. Yet, I NEVER placed those orders! WHY CAN'T CANON SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM???
Instead of off-target suggestions, and pasted boilerplate REFUSALS TO EVEN LOOK at this issue, I would prefer it if Canon went "old school", and FIXED THE PROBLEM, in the first place! But, maybe that's a bit too grown up of an answer for you!
"Award-winning" support??? And, just exactly WHAT AWARD did Canon "support" WIN for CONSISTANTLY IGNORING REPORTED PROBLEMS??? The OSTRICH?
Please pull your head out, and FIX this problem, OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!
Thank you for your "prompt" attention to this matter!

Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook app update? I updated it on my iPad 2 yesterday, now it will not open app at all. I have restarted iPad, uninstalled app and reinstalled, several times and still it will not work! Any suggestions? I have also closed the append still no results!
I just started having this yesterday. It's only happened twice, but it's annoying. My wife texted me that she was coming home last night, and it showed up immediately on my iPod Touch but not my iPhone. I opened my iPhone and it soon updated. Worked fine after that. Then just a moment ago today my wife texted me and the same thing happened. I heard my iMac and iPod Touch receive the message but it didn't display on my phone until I opened the phone and it showed up again a little bit thereafter. I suppose I'll send Apple some feedback on this issue.

If I have, say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM, and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the extra 150 photos, is there an easy way to know which 150 photos to trash? My idea is to not have hundreds of photos taking up space on the hard drive.
Thanks.Various ways:
Easy one: Flag the ones you want to keep (do this in the Album - Select All and Flag)
Then:
File -> New Smart Album
Event -> contains -> Name of the Event
Photo -> Is Not -> Flagged
will find the unwanted 150.

Has anyone had a problem with the letters actually disappearing from the keybord, like being gradually rubbed out? My macbook air had this problem one year after purchase. They fixed it for free. Now, a year later, I have the same prob. Apple doesnt want to know.
