Just got new 23" Apple displays and I love them
Hi, I just had to post that I have updated to new dual 23" apple displays and they are awesome! So if you are thinking of updating and can afford it then I would HIGHLY recommend updating. I can't believe that I lived without them.
Here is one place that discuses the different LCD panel types:

Yes, the ACD will work fine for editing videos. There are more expensive solutions from places like LaCie, Eizo and high-end NEC. Yes, these are better monitors, but only you can decide if they are better enough to justify their cost for your situation.
Whatever monitor you get, you should get a calibration
system (X-Rite Eye-One Display 2, Datacolor Spyder, etc.) and use it regularly, since the monitor can drift over time. Some of the higher-end monitors come with a calibration system included, but you usually have to purchase this separately. My personal experience was that I was not able to get the Spyder 3 Elite software to work for me, and their tech support department couldn't help, so I returned that and got the Eye-One Display 2. You might have better luck with the Elite than I did, but I also like the fact that the sensor cord for the Display 2 seems more rugged than the one on the Spyder. Given that the sensor is going to hang by the cord when you calibrate, I prefer to see a beefier cord.
Sorry, but I cannot answer your questions regarding Final Cut, since I have not used it. Obviously, if you can afford it, a Mac Pro will have more horsepower, such that it will be able to do more for you in the future as your business expands. Whatever Mac you get, don't skimp on the amount of RAM you install.
Good luck with your new business.

Just got brand new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now when I p/back a track in logic I get audio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do? Its the same version of logic and all other functions seem fine!
First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

Potential connection problems with the new 27" Apple displays
I'm thinking about purchasing the new 27" Apple displays and I would like to be able to run two of them at once with full 2560 x 1440 resolution. I know that the mac mini display port can output the resolution but does the HDMI port output that rate? I thought HDMI is capped out at 1080? So, if it is possible, does anyone manufacture the adapters needed? And lastly, would it be possible to also run an older (see my specs) Mac Pro with two of these screens? What kind of adapters would be needed for that? Has Apple just decided that one monitor is all anyone will ever need and that they are no longer going to support the older DVI connectors? Thanks.
To steer us back to my original post: I was asking specifically about the mac mini and the new 27" display. If you have any of the older mac models most of them support dual dvi. The newer mac mini only supports one display port and one HDMI port. I believe that the highest resolution that HDMI 1.3 supports is 1980 x 1200. My understanding is (after some research) that there is HDMI 1.4 protocol already developed that supports higher resolution but this has not been widely implemented yet. Also, my other concern was the connectors on the new display. Only the mini display port with a male end. This almost guarantees that you will need some sort of cable/connector to anything except the newer macbooks. Just some observations - that's all.

Just got new air and trying to set up. When I put in my Apple ID and password it comes up with error message 'can't sign in because of server error. Try again signing on.' Trying again does not fix. I know my ID and PW are right as work on other apple devices I have.

New apple user, just got new iPod touch gen 5 and there is no App Store on it. Restored it twice and this does nothing. What do I do, help please :(
Has it been disabled via Settings -> General -> Restrictions?
I assume you have checked other pages of apps by swiping to the left from the home screen?

Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library. Note that once done you cannot "share" apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must purchase your own apps under your own Apple ID. When you decide to split up like this one of you will need to re-purchase the apps that they want to use.
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax. -

Just got NEW Apple TV, The status light went out during final part of setup and it no longer works
Just got NEW Apple TV, The status light went out during final part of setup and it no longer works. Any ideas?
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore. -
Just got new iPad mini and I can only get 140 pictutes in My Photo Stream while in my other devices I have 1000 photos in My Photo Stream. How do I sync to have all photos in My Photo Stream on this new iPad mini?
Hi Jose Sam,
It sounds like some of your photos are over 30 days old.
iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989
I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
You may want to sync the older photos through iTunes to get them on your new iPad mini.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

just got new ipohone 4s and used my wife's appleid to sync some apps. i now have my own appleid. i have logged in on my iphone but when i choose to update apps my wife's appleid is still there.
This is happening because there must be one or more apps on your phone that were purchased using your wife's Apple ID. Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID you are currently using in Settings>Store. The only way to stop the prompt for your wife's ID would be to delete these apps from your phone.

I have already tryed uninstalling all Apple Inc. programs on my laptop then trying to install iTunes again but that has had no success what so ever. I have started to get very frusterated with this . Hopefully someone can help. I would really appreciate it. Any suggestion?

We just got 2 iPad air today and Set up both with the same Apple ID, now I'm getting FaceTime and messages for my 12 yr. old. Do I have to set up a separate Apple ID for her to avoid this?
It's a trust issue. You can set them up so you don't receive each other's messages as long as you each have your own email address.
The trust issue is the fact that either of you can change the separation at any time via Settings by checking the appropriate (inappropriate?) email address.
To be absolutely sure you can never receive each other's messages will require two Apple IDs. -
I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account. I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?
Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.
