It's official...I bit the big one....

Thanks to the help of you guyzzzz. I just ordered my 1st Mac. I am quickly leaving behind my 20 year PC PAST!
Studio2, 3.0 Dual Quad Core with the 23" monitor. It should be coming Fri or Sat. At that time I will be sliding in 8 more gigs of ram (total 9) & a striped raid 0 SATA set of 3, 750 gig drives.
I am anxiously waiting for the WD Enterprise RE2 750 gigerssss but they won't be available for a couple more weeks. Temporarily I have 2, 250 gig seagates laying around from my PC, for the video drive until the WD come available.
* Is there another 750 that would be great in a raid?
* What program can I get to backup my system drive so I can restore the OS whenever I need too? The PC has Norton Ghost.

Dell and beautiful in the same sentence?!?
In all seriousness, I use a 23" Cinema - now that's a beautiful display - and an older 15" HP LCD monitor (1024x768 resolution) from a PC that died recently (hehe).
If I had to do it all over again, I'd simply buy a single 30" monitor. Two monitors are nice with FCP and Color (the real estate is used effectively) but Motion, LiveType and Soundtrack Pro do not have dual monitor configurations. DVDSP does, but it's absolutely worthless (just the Palette and Inspector windows on the second screen). I know the idea of a 30" is polarizing, but considering how much space Soundtrack Pro and Motion like, it would be nice. And FCP is nice with a 30" too.
Um, sorry, got off on a tangent.
Unless you're doing hardcore work in Color - which really utilizes two widescreen monitors, I'd argue that, in a dual monitor FCS configuration, the second monitor does not have to be a widescreen one. For FCP, it'll basically house your Browser, which I always keep in List mode, so having a widescreen monitor makes little sense. If you're a Large Icon View person - or, considering you're an FCP rookie, if you become a Large Icon View person - maybe it might be worth it.
But I'd wait to get your machine, then give yourself some time to play with all the apps and see what you think will work best for you...

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

To add to what others have said, the three prong plug allows the charger to be grounded, the two prong plug that can plug into the three prong cord assembly does not. There are situations (such as this) in which Apple advises grounding the power adapter to solve problems.

Anyone used "The Big One" yet?

I've never bought any sampled pianos yet and just use Logic's Yamaha Grand for mock-ups. We will be recording in the studio soon and my producer has suggested to get some for the album. When researching the web, I came across "The Big One" from Sampletekk. Has anyone actually used this and what do you think? Our sound is Linkin Park meets Evanescence - so if anyone has any better suggestions, let me know. Thanks

I've tried it and I have to say that it is good but not great. It is a RAM hog because the size of the library. I've also used the Black Grand, which I like more than The Big One. The Black Grand is a good library but there are some problems with the release samples (pops and clicks in the higher ranges)in the EXS format, giga and kontakt and halion are fine. If you are looking for just samples only, you might want to consider the PMI libraries www.postpiano.com. I've had Ivory 1.5 for about 2 months and I think it sounds great and is very efficient. One thing to keep in mind is that just because it takes of more hard drive space, it doesn't mean it's going to sound better.

I am having a lot of issues but the big one is that my menu, buttons and toolbar keep greying out

I am having multiple issues and they all seem related to the menu/settings:
• Every time I start Firefox, my bookmarks toolbar is invisible. The box to display Bookmarks Toolbar IS checked but I have to disable and then re-enable it on the toolbar menu in order to get them to display again.
• "Tabs on Top" keeps defaulting to off. I check the box every time I run the browser, but every time I close it, it's back off again when I restart.
• I keep getting tabs that cease to be interactive. They are stuck open and I cannot close, move, or pin them. In fact, if I try to click on the tab, it selects the tab immediately to the right of it. It's like Firefox does not realise these tabs exist.
All of these are frustrating but I could handle them if this also wasn't happening:
• Periodically, all my menus and buttons grey out and I am unable to use any of them. I can't click bookmarks, I can't use my back/forward buttons, I can't access anything on the menus. I can still use the URL bar and interact with the websites themselves. It seems particularly prone to doing this while I am adjusting settings or toolbars which unfortunately I have to do a lot because of the aforementioned issues. I have not yet been able to use the browser for longer than 15 minutes before it happens. I am having to restart it constantly.
Potentially Helpful Information:
I have reinstalled Firefox (once as an upgrade, once I uninstalled the original one first) several times at home in hopes this would help, but it has not.
I am using Windows 7. (at work I am still running 2k and Firefox 4 works great)
The only addons I am using are Morning Coffee, Personas, Adblock and Noscript. I use them also at work with Firefox 4 without issue. They are all updated for the latest version. Additionally, disabling them makes no difference in the presentation of these issues.

If you are having that many issues, and if you have tried all five of the Five Rs, then what I would do is take it to an Apple store to the genius bar and let them look at it. It surely sounds as if there might be something wrong with the iPod itself, and if there is, and they can't fix it, they will give you a new one on the spot (assuming they have them in stock).

[Space] How do the big ones do it?

I've been trying hard to get a lightweight, low footprint and very minimal Arch installation. Now, after I installed ALSA, Xorg, and Gnome, cleared the package cache, I ended up at 2.3 GiB of files in "/".
For comparism I just installed a Fedora Core 11 from a live disk, with Gnome, and I think there's much more "hidden" packages than I have, yet it's only 2.2 GiB.
I still wonder how distributions like Damn Small Linux go as low as 50 MB, while X is about 40 MB and the Kernel is surely over 10 MB, too
How low can I go?
What can I do to achieve my goal of lightweightness?
I don't fear of using advanced techniques, as long as there's good information about it, because I like to learn

Flippeh wrote:while X is about 40 MB and the Kernel is surely over 10 MB, too
Well, you can change the compression used by the kernel to optimize for size over speed. Then there's the optional stuff within the kernel that can be stripped away for a highly-minimal base system.
I'm fairly certain that Arch ships more packages with X than the 'big names' (feel free to correct if I'm wrong here), which set the system up themselves and can skip anything they don't need (not to mention the huge number of patches a distro like Ubuntu adds to their system).
You can even use certain switches within GCC that compile for small sizes over raw speed.
Oh, and yeah, Damn Small wouldn't use Gnome .

My IPhoto library is gone and I cannot find it. I have found an earlier version witha few photos but the big one is gone. Any ideas?

My IPhoto library is gone and cannot be found. There is an IPhoto in Applications marked "original". I can find the one I'm looking for using Time Machine but when I try to open it it says that it cannot be opened as there is a newer version installed. Any help would greatly be appreciated:-)

Download and use Find Any File to search for the file "Library6.iPhoto" which is in every iPhoto Library package. If you find more than one check both to see if one is your missing library.

Podcast Page Graphics: The big ones

Looking for information on providing graphics for the large page which would hold several differrent podcasts...
For instance, the White House has a branded page holding al they're 'casts, as does Business Week and Purina.
However, the ponly image information I can locate is for the small 300x300 requirements for the individual 'casts.
Can someone direct me to the right resource materials for the branded page?
Thanks in advance.

Sound on my headset is coming from the small holes on iphone 5. The small holes next to the big ones on the edge. When i listen to music, I must put the left headset in the right ear and the other in my left ear. How can i change it back?

See the those small holes? Thats where my music sound is coming from.
Thanks in advance.

Connect the headset to a computer or stereo or anything else with 3,5mm minijcack to see if the headset is ok of they work there then your headset is defect if not your phone is the problem

I cannot install latest itunes to my Sony notebook which is running on traditional chinese windows 7 64-bit, the error message is something like unrecognized windows package, can any one help me or has similar experience? Thanks.

iTunes 9.0.x is certainly compatible with Win7 64 bit since I use that exact setup on 3 different PCs. Two suggestions for your installation problems:
1)Download a new copy of the 64 bit installer from Apple then, instead of just running the itunes installer right click on it and try 'run as adminstrator'. In my experience that clears up a world of problems with program installation in Win7 and Vista. This is necessary even if you're already logged in as an administrator.
2) Try the previous version of iTunes (9.0.3). You can get a copy at http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=54 again right click on the file and "run as administrator"
Good luck, hope this helps.

My iPad standard window is bit too big for the screen.

My iPad screen unexpectedly got slightly too big for the display window. The size is bit too big. For example, the keyboard when it pops up does not fully display all tkey sans. Another example is the time/power remaining bar slips out of sight. Did I accidentally change something? Is this an issue with version of iOS that I am using (4.3.3)? (Note I'm not talking about resizing by using your fingers.)

John,
I am having the same problem. The enlargement is not the same as the 3 finger tap or the 2 finger zoom. The screen opens and then bumps to a slightly larger screen just enough to make it too big to see the outer edges. You can put 3 fingers on the screen and move the screen to see the edges but you cannot get it to shrink to the correct size. This is the second time this has happened to me. I am also having some other issues. Sometimes while in an app the app will close and I will be diverted to the home screen. And sometimes when playing "with Friends games" the letters on the letterboard (not the key pad) disappear, will not move or are giant. I plan on taking it back to the Apple store this week but I hate the idea of having to start over.

HT3226 My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one

My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one.. ???

I think I had it on the iCloud, I just changed computers and had part of my old computer backed up, where are the default iTunes info saved like the pictures and I know my contacts were backed up cuz I kept getting updated stuff that I wasn't sure about, but it was contacts where some belonged to my wife's contacts....but anyway, if the cloud backed up contacts, it should have grabbed pictures too? Like I asked before, if they were backed up to the computer, is there a default iTunes folder they are saved to? I had a crap load of pictures on there that I usually could really access if I was connected to wi-fi. I turned off my data stuff as I only have 4GB and between me and my 2 kids, we seemed to use up a lot of it. My son would play music from Pandora during work, and use up all our data til I limited him to only 3GB, my daughter and I barely used 1GB. Anyway, thanks to everybody that is answering. I thought I might have done good finding the dang sim card, but pointless I guess.
Ralph - F.Y.I. I would be happy to back up the iPhone if I could turn it on LOL......I am pretty positive I did, but what about Text messages? ANY of those saved too or not? Sorry guys, I don't know a **** of a lot about cell phones, but I do know about memory cards, but not sim cards that act like memory cards or look like them anyway. What is the purpose of a sim card if I may ask a stupid question since they don't hold any data from my phone stuff. I just hope my stuff comes back on the new replacement phone once I get it up and running. Again, thanks to everybody for the edumucation.
