Is there really a reason to upgrade?

From what I can gather the only thing the 3G will do for me that my current iphone can't do is slightly fatser web browsing (when not on wifi) and GPS. Is that right?

In essence yes you're right.
It's all down to needs I guess. I don't need 3G or GPS. My main wish was for Exchange support (check!).
3G is not what I'm excited about it's the GPS. Now I've had GPS in other phones, but GPS + iPhone + Google Maps & Apps kinda leaves me a bit hungry for a new phone
If I can upgrade easily on O2 UK I will, if I can't then I'll have to wait

  • Is there really any reason to keep "On My Mac" calendars and contacts?

    I was wondering if anyone has deleted their "On My Mac" contacts or calendars in Address Book or iCal since upgrading to iOS5 and Lion.
    I haven't had any real issues by having both (aside from seeing duplicate birthdays in iCal), but is it really necessary? I prefer to keep things as streamlined and simple as possible, and would consider deleting my "On My Mac" data if there's no downfall. Is there any chance iCloud could crash, and I would potentially lose everything?
    Thoughts/comments appreciated.

    I just have iTunes sync with the Address book & calendar on iCloud, but I wouldn't delete it from my Mac or I would lose my contacts if I lose Internet connectivity.

  • Is there a compelling reason to upgrade to Touch 2G?

    I have a 1G Touch with the 2.1 software. Though speakers might be a nice thing, it's not necessarily a deal-breaker for me not to have one. Nike+ is nice as well, but I likely would not use my Touch for that (I have a 3G Nano). Voice recording is nice, but there's no way I'll drop the $$$ for the cord. Is there anything else that's not mentioned that would make it worthwhile? Perhaps a faster CPU or longer battery? If it's just the 3 things I've listed above (aside from the slimmer form factor) I'll stick with my 1G.

    I'm keeping my 16GB 1G until there is a >32GB 2G Touch.
    Since I got the 3G iPhone, I really appreciate the speakers for those times I don't want 'phones and volume isn't the primary issue.
    They are small, so of course it's not like using 'phones or a stereo, but in a quiet environment, they're great.
    I also use the 3G with some of the ambient noise apps to play sounds to sleep/study to.

  • Are there good reasons to upgrade to FCE version 4?

    Hi, I am currently using FCE 3.5.1 I'm thinking that it just might be time to upgrade. Are there some really good reasons to upgrade to Version 4? Does 4 come bundled with LiveType 2.1, or does it at least have animated type options? Most importantly, in the audio realm, does it actually allow you to hear audio filers (such as an equalizer) in real time as you tweak them? If not, do you know if Final Cut Pro has substantially better audio features than FCE?
    I appreciate your input. Bob

    "Can you do that on 3.5?"
    Yes. What format is the media you're using? There is no way you should have to render an EQ on a MacPro unless you have a lot of tracks. In which case, push up the number of realtime tracks in user preferences. Normal drives should be able to handle 24 tracks in realtime. The tracks count adds in effects as well as a track each.
    What kind of animated text do you want? Title 3D and Title Crawl can be animated.
    Apple has never sold a pro app upgrade via download. Only updates are available via download. It has never sold recent versions of FCE separately from LiveType, or LiveType separately from Final Cut. It has always been a bundled application and has never been available as a download. Do you have a torrent copy of the application?

  • Color Shift - Save To Web - There really is an issue

    OK, Every article I have read about this topic indicates that the user does not really grasp colour management fully. However, I'm going to stick my neck out, and suggest that there really is an issue with either PS or Fireworks CS5, and here's why.
    Create a new document - maybe just 100x100px, and choose "Don't color manage this document" when creating it. Fill it with a solid colour, I used RGB 24 16 44 - a dark blue. Now, we have an un-managed swatch.
    Save this to web as a JPG, making sure that no conversion to sRGB is taking place (Convert to sRGB is unchecked). In the Save to Web window, you can hover over the swatch and see the colours are still RGB 24 16 44 - so far so good...
    Save it as a JPG at 100% quality, just to be sure. Also, save it as a 24bit PNG.
    OK, now do something similar in Fireworks... name your files accordingly...
    Now open the files in the opposite applications. There SHOULDN'T be any colour shifts at all - you are dealing with raw, un-managed RGB files. However, the JPGs in both instances have shifted. PNG files are spot on.
    Can someone explain - without being a terse smart arse - exactly what is causing this? And please, if you are going to glibly refer to some FAQ or such, supply a URL. Sorry, I know the vast majority of folks here are helpful, but I find the quality of some replies aren't worth reading.
    Steve

    I think you can deduce the reason by looking really closely (literally, zooming in) at how .jpgs are constructed.  There is a grid of sampling areas (the size based on the quality setting) and each 'block' is like a little gradient, that is the trick that jpg uses to compress.  If the program could not change a colour, it would not be able to compress.
    Non-lossy formats (eg: zip) look at compressing the data, if it sees a chain of 300,000 zeros, it logically says 'put 300,000 zeros here', that is quicker than literally writing the zeros.
    Lossy methods look at the colour of a group of pixels and then substitute them with a mathematical gradient that averages out the content of the block and where you have little detail, the compression is greater because the little blocks are easily described as bland gradients. (bland blends? hehe).
    That is why final file sizes in jpgs are variable for the same pixel dimensions, a fact which has baffled many here, because a complex image cannot be averaged out as easily as a plain one.
    Again: If the program could not change the colour of pixels, it would not be able to compress in this way.

  • All I want is to download a PDF of a marketing piece I picked up at the Adobe Event in Austin, Tx Friday. I want to be able to email it to my Enterprise wide IT department - we are still fighting to get CC at work. The piece is "Top 5 reasons to upgrade..

    I am looking on Adobe's site trying to find a PDF of a printed piece I picked up at an Adobe Event in Austin Tx so I can share it with my enterprise IT department in my quest to convince them to allow CC at my company. The piece is titled "Top 5 reasons to upgrade to Creative Cloud for enterprise and Myths about CC for enterprise" Has anyone seen this piece online?
    Thank You

    Having not received a call back yesterday as promised - again! - I phoned BT - again - today. Apparently we're getting a call from them on Wednesday. The seventh promise of that kind now. I told the BT chap I was sorry, but given our previous experiences, I couldn't trust what he said. He promised there would be a call. Just to make sure, I confirmed our contact details with him and, yes, you guessed it - they were incorrect! So we wouldn't have received the promised phone call. In the face of breathtaking incompetence, my partner and I are keeping our spirits up by betting on the next thing BT will screw up.

  • Reasons to upgrade cisco ASA

      HI
    I have two Cisco ASA 5540, these ASA running ver 7.2. and used mainly as VPN gateways.
    My question is simple, Apart from the extra AnyConnect client functionality and the higher encryption, is there any specific security benefits (related to the VPN use) for upgrading to ver. 8.x ?
    Thanks
    A.

    Ammar,
    Each version has Release Notes. For the ASA they are all posted here.
    In each Release Note there is a "Resolved Caveats" sections. That is where the fixes for all problems - vulnerabilities as well as functions/features - are listed.
    Besides higher encryption and Anyconnect client, you can also use IKE v2 (as of 8.4(1) ) which is more secure during session setup (apart from the level of encryption). You can also use identity-based features and a host of other features to further secure your remote access VPNs. On the other hand, if what you have now is meeting your needs, the only compelling reasons to upgrade are vulnerability and bug fixes (and perhaps a prettier version of ASDM that will run with the newest Java versions ).

  • Reasons to upgrade

    I've been happily behind the curve (no pun intended) on my OS for some time now, still running 4.6, everything running very smoothly. TMO has now apparently approved 5.0 and I'm being prompted to upgrade by my MacDM. Are there any good reasons to do so? Thanks.

    Hiya!
     If you are asking about the DM version... then yes, you need to update it to get 5.0 on your device.

  • I just got my shipment and My Ipad mini is just shut down without reasons during upgrading. I'm doing restore it. Does it matter for the future use?

    I just got my shipment and My Ipad mini is just shut down without any reason during upgrading. I'm doing restore it. Does it matter for the future use?
    ACtually I really really don't want to use it anymore. I'm so disappointed.

    Some friends have told me that their phone can last up to 2 days without charging??
    If they are getting 2 days without charging, it's unlikely they use their device very much.
    A full day is pretty good....and if I'm careful, I can easily get a full day of usage.
    For me, normal is charging the iPhone mid afternoon at work, but I use it a lot.
    My typical usage is 35 mins of listening to podcasts, checking email, checking my RSS feed, and checking a few apps while I ride my bike when I first get up.  Then listening to several podcasts at work.
    I typically stream music while working out during my lunch hour and use the Men's Health Fitness app to track my progress.
    By about 2pm I'm ready to charge the device as it's getting low (somewhere between 20% and 50%).
    I leave bluetooth, Wi-FI, and location services turned on all the time.
    Personally, I just do not see the point in going into settings to turn on the feature when I need it... just too much hassle.  All of my listening to podcasts and music is via Bluetooth.
    I know I'm not the heaviest user, but I just do not see how anyone can realistically make it two days on a single charge, it makes me think they simply do not use the features of the device and would be just as well served with a basic or feature phone.

  • Is there really a Right Click?

    I've read many times on this forum to "Right Click". Is there really a Right Click on the Imac Intel Core Duo like on a PC mouse?

    Yes, open your preferences and go into your mouse settings, set the right mouse button to secondary action or whatever it is.
    For some reason, Apple doesn't enable right-click for the Mighty Mouse on OS X by default.
    It might not look like there is 2 buttons, but that's because it's pressure sensitive, the mouse will know if you're clicking on the left or right.

  • My 2nd Gen Apple TV seems to have just stopped working with Youtube. Is there a particular reason this has happened ?

    My 2nd Gen Apple TV seems to have just stopped working with Youtube. Is there a particular reason this has happened ?  All of the other services work correctly.

    Apple already have a position on such matters. If you have a problem with one particular service and not others, contact the provider.
    Contact Apple TV content providers - Apple Support
    However, 3 similar reports, do not a problem make. Perhaps there is a problem, perhaps there isn't, but it really doesn't seem to affect many people if there is, believe me when there is a problem it's quite obvious from the additional traffic it causes in these communities. It's also not exactly clear that you are all seeing exactly the same thing.

  • 2009 24-inch iMac 3.06GHz (EMC no. 2267).   I don't get any audio when connecting my Sony HD TV to my iMac via mini DisplayPort. Is there a fix or hardware upgrade?  I'm using a Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable w/ audio support.

    You can connect the audio from your iMac to your TV using a mini jack (like headphones plug) to rca (regular red and white audio connectors used on every TV,DVD, etc) cable.
    On your TV, you need to be able to set the audio for the HDMI input you will use to "analog" and connect the rca end of the cable to the analog inputs on your TV.
