Is there a specific time of day that the BTO iMacs become available for pickup?
As I am sure many people can relate to, I find myself hitting the refresh screen on my Apple order page awaiting the arrive of a built-to-order 27" iMac (3.4 GHz/ 32GB memory/ 3TB fusion/ 680MX graphics). Question for people with an inside scoop.... do the custom macs arrive a specific time of day (many retailers have scheduled deliveries at specic times during the day). The reason I ask is because if my Mac is only going to become "available for pick-up" in the morning, I will know that after... let's say 10am.. there is no reason for me to keep checking because I will know it won't be showing up on this specific business day, if it hasn't already. Any insight on how this works? Thanks fellow Apple fans!
Goodness gracious.... Not even 5 minutes after I replied to you, my item became available for pickup! It's like they were listening in! haha !

September 19th, Today, is widely communicated as being the day that the IOS6 Software for the Iphone 4s will be available to replace IOS5.1.1 BUT, I have been trying to update it all day and it still currently says the software is up to date on IOS5.1.1 ? what is going on, is it out today? if not when will it be available?
is anyone else having this issue?King1979 wrote:
I hate waiting, here in the UK its late afternoon and I am sick of the phone telling me its up to date on IOS 5.1.1 I am also a techno geek....... have you guys got it yet? should have had it at 1pm today
Honestly, I have not even bothered to try to get it yet. I'll do it this coming weekend, when I can do it at my liesure (my iPhone is also my only phone, so I never leap into any update immediately - I like to let the dust settle a bit and see just how it goes - let others be my beta-testers, as it were). -
I have an iPhone 4s, not jailbroken. I was able to update to 5.0.1 when it came out last year. When 5.1.1 came out, I noticed that I never received the
notification that a new update was available. I updated my 2 ipads and my wife's iphone 4. I didn't bother looking into it, since I didn't feel the need to update to 5.1.1. Now I want to update to ios 6, but when I go to Settings > General > Software Update. It checks for updates , but still shows me that my 5.0.1 is up to date. I plug into itunes and check for update there and it still indicates that 5.0.1. is up to date as well.
Does anyone know what this is happening and how I can update to ios 6?
Thanks for the input.muneer86 wrote:

I want this app "Hangouts" badly because there are a lot of friends that use this app so I want this badly guys...
You can try requesting that it be added to your country's store, but ultimately it's Google (if I'm looking at the correct app) that will have to grant Apple a license to have it there (sometimes a country's laws can also prevent apps being available) : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Start a process at a specific time of day
Is there any kind of a time mechanism that will allow a process to be started at a specific time each day?
There is not a scheduling mechanism native to LC/ADEP. A valid approach would be to use a cron job or WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to start a batch file that calls a Java class that uses the LC Java API to invoke the short-lived process.
See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/programLC/help/index.html

Scheduling specific time of day for automatic software updates
How can one schedule a specific time of day (i.e. between 11:01 pm to 5.59 am when I have unlimited download availability) for an iMac to search for automatic software updates? System preferences only offer frequency, but no time option. If it is possible to schedule a specific time, will invoking the feature override the sleep function, wake up the machine and perform the software update and then let the machine go back to "sleep?" Thank you for all your help.
to clarify barney's suggestion, the following terminal command will download all available updates and put them in your Downloads folder.
softwareupdate -d --all
so what you need to do is this.
1. turn off automatic software update in software update system preferences.
2. make a cron or a launch daemon to run the above terminal command periodically at the time of your choosing. to make a launch daemon I recommend using lingon http://tuppis.com/lingon/
The daemon will only run if the computer is not asleep at the scheduled time so you might want to set to to wake/start shortly before that. this is done in system preferences->energy saver->schedule.
to install the updates once they are downloaded double-click on the pkg files and follow the instructions. -
Render at a Specific Time Every Day
Is there a way to have a specific Final Cut Pro project to render automatically at a specific time every day?
I work at a CG house, and shots are updated at random intervals, but are always in a fixed, specific location. So by rendering out the project everyday we would always have an up to date complete edit. And by automating it it could be rendered off hours and be ready first thing in the morning for review.Or page 548 of Volume III, if you're on Final Cut Pro 5 (FCStudio 1).
'Main Menu/Final Cut Pro/User Preferences/General tab'
FCS2 may allow specific time of day, but FCS1 simply lets you set a period of time (while the program is open, but idle). So set it for 2 hours, leave FCP open when your last editor leaves the office.
This also offers several choices on which sequences you actually want to 'auto-render'.

How do I put timecode on the storyline. In FCP 7 there was a time code reader that read the actual TC on the source material. There isn't one in FCP 10.1...Any recommendations???
TC has not been lost...skimmer shows source TC.
Nanoflash external recorder via SDI on a Sony PMW-EX3.
Ok so Compressor will show source TC on an individual clip, good I didn't know this and it will be helpful.
My scenario. I build a timeline with a whole days shooting involving many different clips and build a Sequence from that-editing out the off camera questions/mistakes etc. In the past I would export with source TC with a Timecode Reader filter applied. Now, it is a TC Generator filter that is available that starts from 00:00.
1. Possible solution, forget the source TC since I have a timeline built with (counter) TC on it and send that to client or get Apple to add it in the future.
2. Apply TC Generator on a clip by clip basis and manually change the TC to match source material. Probably too, much effort though.

Is it possible to schedule updates for a specific time of day like 12am?
Is it possible to schedule updates for a specific time of day like 12am?
No. If you use Automatic Updates, the apps update when the updates are available. Read this for a little more information.

im planning to upgrade my MBP late 2011's ram from 4gb to 8gb. Is there any specific brand of ram that i should buy or i can buy any brand that suits my MBP? im aware of all the details that i need to consider pc3 - 10600 1333MHz 4gb. i just want to know is there any specific brand or i can use any brand,
Thank you.The most reliable sources for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial. Macs seem to be selective with RAM so some brands will not work. Make certain that you get RAM with the exact specifications that apply to your MBP.
Ciao.
If you have a need, be advised that you MBP can actually support 16 GB RAM.

What time of day was the email sent?
I used to be able to see the time of day that email was sent, along with the date. Now, only the date appears. What happened? How can I get the time of day back? Thanks.
imac Mac OS X (10.3.9)What mail program are you operating? What version? I have Apple's Mail v. 1.3.11 (OS X 10.3.9) program running and in my inbox I see both the date and time received and date and time sent. If that's the program you are using, is your column wide enough to display both date & time? If not, widen the column by pointing to the right column divider line and drag it farther to the right. Also, the date is on the extreme left, the time on the extreme right of the column, so if your column is very wide you might not see the time unless you scroll to the right or expand the window.

I have no sound on my MacBook Air for sending and receiving messages. All sound settings have been checked and are OK. This problem has arisen many times and is intermittent in the sense that the sound returns and disappears for no apparent reason.
Open System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects
Select: Play user interface sound effects
And make sure the Mute box is not selected.
Now open Mail. From the Mail menu bar clik Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
Make a selection from the: New messages sound pop up menu.
